0:00:03 > 0:00:06Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Munchetty.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Pressure on the Prime Minister as she loses another
0:00:11 > 0:00:14cabinet minister - the second in a week.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Priti Patel's resigned last night over unauthorised
0:00:16 > 0:00:19meetings with Israeli officials - labour says the government
0:00:19 > 0:00:23is in chaos and theresa May is losing her authority.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Good morning, it's Thursday the ninth of November.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Also this morning -
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The First Minister of Wales will respond to criticism
0:00:43 > 0:00:45over his handling of harassment allegations against the former
0:00:45 > 0:00:52minister Carl Sergeant who apparently took his own life.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Some police control rooms are struggling to meet demand
0:00:55 > 0:00:58because of a surge in calls - the Inspector of Constabulary warns
0:00:58 > 0:01:02that budgest cuts are putting forces under "significant stress".
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Another day and another update on house prices -
0:01:05 > 0:01:06but this one is different.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08It says house prices are falling.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So what's REALLY happening to the property market?
0:01:10 > 0:01:17I'll get an expert view.
0:01:17 > 0:01:24In sport, a match English women can't afford to lose. Australia is
0:01:24 > 0:01:27batting first. They have lost just one wicket.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30And Carol has the weather.
0:01:30 > 0:01:38A cloudy start the day for many of us but patchy light rain drizzle.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42The skies will filter slowly southwards as a go through the day.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43More details in 15 minutes.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Good morning, First, our main story.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Theresa May is under pressure to restore stability
0:01:47 > 0:01:49to the Government after the second resignation from her Cabinet
0:01:49 > 0:01:50in a week.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51The International Development Secretary,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Priti Patel, stepped down last night after more questions were raised
0:01:54 > 0:01:56about her unauthorised meetings with Israeli politicians.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The departure of Ms Patel has fuelled opposition accusations
0:01:59 > 0:02:02that the government is in chaos, and Mrs May is losing her authority.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08Here's our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Arriving in London, Priti Patel could have guessed her fate.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16She had been summoned back from Kenya by Number Ten,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19an official trip to Africa cut short.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25She entered Downing Street by the back door and left having
0:02:25 > 0:02:27lost her job, resigning after failing to disclose details
0:02:27 > 0:02:31of unauthorised meetings with Israeli politicians.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35In her letter to the Prime Minister, she said: I accept my actions fell
0:02:35 > 0:02:39below the high standards that are expected of a Secretary of State.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43For the second time in just over a week, Theresa May must now decide
0:02:43 > 0:02:45how to fill a gap around the top table.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Michael Fallon quit as defence secretary last week over
0:02:48 > 0:02:52his personal conduct.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56This team was carefully chosen to represent different Tory views
0:02:56 > 0:02:58over Brexit, and some are keen that is maintained.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01There is a divide between people who want Brexit to mean
0:03:01 > 0:03:07we are basically staying within the EU.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10They are essentially the Remainers who are unchanged.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And they give a veneer of acceptance but haven't truly accepted.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16There are quite a lot of people who were quite balanced
0:03:16 > 0:03:18when they made the decision as to which side to support,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21who are now really rather enthusiastic about Brexit
0:03:21 > 0:03:26and want to get on with it properly.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Whatever the Prime Minister's decision about who should now sit
0:03:28 > 0:03:36in her Cabinet, she will face intense scrutiny over her choice.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Let's speak to our political correspondent, Leila Nathoo,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42who's in Westminster for us this morning.
0:03:42 > 0:03:55As we heard, scrutiny is paramount. All eyes will be on Theresa May's
0:03:55 > 0:04:00choice. She welcomed Priti Patel's resignation but it was clear she was
0:04:00 > 0:04:07forced to go. Theresa May make that clear. She had to re-establish
0:04:07 > 0:04:10authority over her Cabinet and be seen to be doing something. It
0:04:10 > 0:04:15seemed that she would got a way with just a reprimand and it was only
0:04:15 > 0:04:18since new information came to light that Theresa May made it apparent
0:04:18 > 0:04:25she must go. It does throw the light on who Theresa May will choose to
0:04:25 > 0:04:30replace her. Remember, we had and other Cabinet replacement last week,
0:04:30 > 0:04:39Michael Fallon was forced to resign over sexual assault allegations.
0:04:39 > 0:04:46Then there is the delicate Brexit balance. Accept talks start again
0:04:46 > 0:04:56today and Acra won a key leave supporter and -- Priti Patel. It
0:04:56 > 0:05:00gives ammunition to those who think the wheels are coming off this
0:05:00 > 0:05:03government.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Later, we'll be getting reaction from the former Conservative leader
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and cabinet minister, Iain Duncan Smith.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08That's at 07:10.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10British officials will travel to Brussels for further
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Brexit talks today.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It's the first set of negotiations since EU leaders agreed to begin
0:05:14 > 0:05:16preparing for discussions about the future relationship with
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Britain.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19The Brexit secretary, David Davis and the EU's chief
0:05:19 > 0:05:21negotiator Michel Barnier will join the talks tomorrow,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24which are likely to centre around the UK's financial obligations
0:05:24 > 0:05:31and the rights of British people living in the EU.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, is to issue
0:05:34 > 0:05:37a statement today amid criticism of the way he handled misconduct
0:05:37 > 0:05:40allegations against a Welsh Cabinet member, who is believed to have
0:05:40 > 0:05:41taken his own life.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43The family of Carl Sargeant -
0:05:43 > 0:05:46who'd been accused of inappropriate touching - say he was denied natural
0:05:46 > 0:05:48justice because he wasn't given details of the allegations
0:05:48 > 0:05:53which led to his sacking.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Our reporter Tomos Morgan is at the Welsh Assembly
0:05:55 > 0:06:09for us this morning.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14We believe it will be happening at some time today. This is one of the
0:06:14 > 0:06:18biggest challenges Carwyn Jones has faced since being First Minister of
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Wales, we believe. He will be coming here to Cardiff Bay and discuss the
0:06:22 > 0:06:35events of this week with Labour assembly members here. It began last
0:06:35 > 0:06:41Wednesday when a member was sacked from his ministerial role for his
0:06:41 > 0:06:44conduct. Yesterday, we saw the
0:06:50 > 0:06:57-- between Carl Sargeant's family. Last night, a former Cabinet member
0:06:57 > 0:07:02and former ally of Carwyn Jones criticised Carwyn Jones saying he
0:07:02 > 0:07:06believes the process had not been followed. The Labour back party
0:07:06 > 0:07:11believes in line with the procedure the nature of the allegations were
0:07:11 > 0:07:14outlined to Carl Sargeant over the last few days. The biggest challenge
0:07:14 > 0:07:31that has faced Welsh politics and Carwyn Jones in his ten year time in
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Parliament.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Police forces in England and Wales are struggling to meet demand,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40due to a surge in the number of calls from members of the public.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43A survey by the policing watchdog says the service is under
0:07:43 > 0:07:44"significant stress" because of budget cuts,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47although it says forces could help by making further efficiencies.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw reports.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52If you report a crime this is where your call is dealt with.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53The control room.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It is the nerve centre of police operations.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58There are more than 8 million 999 calls every year,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01with millions of others on the non-emergency number, 101.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04The inspector of constabulary says that police are struggling to cope.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06He says that problems retaining control room
0:08:06 > 0:08:09staff and an overreliance on outdated technology are to blame.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Some requests for police to deal with crimes,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13including criminal damage and assault, go unanswered.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15In Devon and Cornwall, many callers hang up
0:08:15 > 0:08:17because they have to wait so long.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The control rooms are right at the heart of what our
0:08:20 > 0:08:21police forces do.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24The focus on getting that right is really important for chief
0:08:24 > 0:08:29constables, and we encourage them to continue with this.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32The reporting into police efficiency says the service
0:08:32 > 0:08:33is under significant stress.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37It says forces will spend 6% less on policing in the next three years
0:08:37 > 0:08:38and will lose more than 4,000 officers
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and staff from the police workforce.
0:08:40 > 0:08:49That is why many chief constables say they need extra resources
0:08:49 > 0:08:50to deal with the increased demand.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Mike Cunningham says it would be a good
0:08:53 > 0:08:56thing for police to have more money, but he says the service needs
0:08:56 > 0:08:58to show the benefits extra funding will
0:08:58 > 0:09:02bring, and he says there is scope for forces to use their existing
0:09:02 > 0:09:06resources more efficiently.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09US President Donald Trump has urged the Chinese leader Xi Jinping
0:09:09 > 0:09:12to "work very hard" on persuading North Korea to give up
0:09:12 > 0:09:13its nuclear weapons.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15The two leaders held more talks this morning,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18on the second day of Mr Trump's visit to China.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Our Beijing correspondent, Stephen McDonnell has
0:09:19 > 0:09:20been following events.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Stephen, the two men had lots of praise for each other -
0:09:23 > 0:09:38how much co-operation will there be going forward do you think?
0:09:38 > 0:09:44It has been quite something to see the world's two most powerful people
0:09:44 > 0:09:49standing together and pledging to work with one another on winding
0:09:49 > 0:09:54down North Korea's nuclear weapons and boosting trade between these two
0:09:54 > 0:09:59very powerful nations and certainly, China has turned it on in terms of a
0:09:59 > 0:10:04welcome for Donald Trump with honour guards and banquets and the like.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07When they spoke today, it wasn't a press conference because she Xin
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Ping does not answer questions, they both spoke and Xi Jinping spoke of
0:10:12 > 0:10:17the billions of dollars worth of deals have been signed to coincide
0:10:17 > 0:10:24with Donald Trump's visit. It is hard to tell how many would be in
0:10:24 > 0:10:27the member of understanding category and how many would be real. Donald
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Trump with distressing North Korea and, now is the time to read the
0:10:31 > 0:10:36region of the North Korean menace. I'm not sure of that means regime
0:10:36 > 0:10:42change because that would worry China. But they are in the Greens of
0:10:42 > 0:10:53getting rid of nuclear weapons. -- they are in agreeance.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56An extended ban on a group of controversial pesticides will be
0:10:56 > 0:10:58supported "in principle" by the UK government,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00according to the environment secretary Michael Gove.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Environmentalists have been campaigning for tighter controls
0:11:02 > 0:11:05over the use of neo-nicotinoids which they say are harming bees
0:11:05 > 0:11:06and other pollinators.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09The government has previously resisted EU restrictions but Mr Gove
0:11:09 > 0:11:12says he recogises the mounting body of evidence against the chemicals.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Now what's the first thing you'd do if your numbers came up
0:11:15 > 0:11:18on the lottery?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Smile. Have a cup of tea? I don't know.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Hand your notice in?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That's exactly what six hospital kitchen workers South Wales
0:11:25 > 0:11:28have done after scooping 25 million on the Euromillions.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30The women have been playing as a work syndicate
0:11:30 > 0:11:32for the past six years.
0:11:32 > 0:11:42They're currently planning a dream holiday together to Las Vegas.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Good that they have all stayed friends. Another question for you.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Can the former President of the United States be called up
0:11:51 > 0:11:52for jury service?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Yes, he can!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Barack Obama arrived for duty at a Chicago courthouse
0:11:56 > 0:11:58yesterday, and joined other prospective jurors waiting to see
0:11:58 > 0:12:00if they would be chosen to serve.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03While he took the time to shake a few hands and sign some
0:12:03 > 0:12:05autographs, the former Commander-In-Chief wasn't required
0:12:05 > 0:12:06and was dismissed.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09If he'd been selected, he would have been paid the princely
0:12:09 > 0:12:14sum of 13 pounds a day.
0:12:14 > 0:12:23Yeah. Have you ever done jury service? Rola no. They end up
0:12:23 > 0:12:27picking a spokesperson. You would imagine no one would really argue
0:12:27 > 0:12:30with him. -- no.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36It would be tricky.
0:12:36 > 0:12:42We have a massive test match. Crucial in deciding which way the
0:12:42 > 0:12:48Ashes series is going to go. It is a points system, they changed it. They
0:12:48 > 0:12:55play one test match and there is assist -- series of 20 20 matches.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01There is only one test match that is played.Do they do that the men's
0:13:01 > 0:13:05cricket?Only the women's format. But with the amount of points
0:13:05 > 0:13:09available, they must win this because they are trailing currently
0:13:09 > 0:13:15in the series. It is a big day. They are one wicket down on the opening
0:13:15 > 0:13:18day. They have made a good start on a put it that way.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21An historic moment for Northern ireland who are preparing
0:13:21 > 0:13:23for the first leg of their World Cup Play Off with Switzerland
0:13:33 > 0:13:42-- this is a match they cannot afford to lose. Remember this
0:13:42 > 0:13:50moment? This generation of players they cup layoff with Switzerland
0:13:50 > 0:13:54later. Hoping to reach back-to-back tournaments for the first time in
0:13:54 > 0:13:55their history.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Both England and Germany will wear black armbands bearing poppies
0:13:58 > 0:14:01for tomorrow's friendly at Wembley after rules were changed last month,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04allowing the home nations to wear a poppy if opposing teams
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and the competition organiser agrees to it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Chelsea Women are a step closer to the last eight of the Champions
0:14:10 > 0:14:12League.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17How about this for a goal, from Fran Kirby, one of three
0:14:17 > 0:14:21unanswered goals they scored to beat Rosengard last night to take control
0:14:21 > 0:14:33of their last sixteen tie.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38At Manchester City play again later. Both flying in the women's Super
0:14:38 > 0:14:44League.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I always think it is lovely to see the sunshine, it is that time of
0:14:49 > 0:14:53year when it is nice to see.We need that reminder on these cold and
0:14:53 > 0:15:00dreary mornings.You know I am usually quite anti- Windsor and
0:15:00 > 0:15:06anti- cold, but when the sun shines on a cold winter morning, I like it
0:15:06 > 0:15:14-- anti- winter.And just when it is starting to get too
0:15:14 > 0:15:17-- anti- winter.And just when it is starting to get too much, the winter
0:15:17 > 0:15:18kicks them.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21starting to get too much, the winter kicks them.And we are looking
0:15:21 > 0:15:25through some of the front pages. On the Daily Telegraph, these images of
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Priti Patel, who went through that ordeal of the journey back from
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Africa, where she had all those meetings, to Downing Street, and the
0:15:34 > 0:15:37resignation. Something we will be talking about throughout the morning
0:15:37 > 0:15:42this morning. Another day, another crisis. We will be talking to Iain
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Duncan Smith, Cabinet member, later on in the programme. She is also on
0:15:46 > 0:15:53the front page of the Daily Mail. We are also expecting a statement from
0:15:53 > 0:15:58Carwyn Jones after Labour leaders were accused of failing the minister
0:15:58 > 0:16:02who was found dead after being accused of sexual misconduct. That
0:16:02 > 0:16:07was Carl Sergeant, and his family had said they had warned the party
0:16:07 > 0:16:14of their fears over his fragile mental state. So First Minister --
0:16:14 > 0:16:23First Minister Carwyn Jones expected to give a statement later today. Of
0:16:23 > 0:16:26course, another Cabinet minister going and on the front page of the
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Mirror, they are highlighting a number of calls made to the child
0:16:31 > 0:16:36line, children being abused or suffering. We saw an interest rate
0:16:36 > 0:16:41rise last week.Yes, it seems like a long time ago.The first in more
0:16:41 > 0:16:45than ten years and one of the markets which is obviously affected
0:16:45 > 0:16:50is the housing market. Whether it helps temper prices.Slow and steady
0:16:50 > 0:16:53is what we have been told about interest rate rises are already it
0:16:53 > 0:16:58is about perception and sentiment in the housing market, and already some
0:16:58 > 0:17:02suggestion that it could be too soon. We will be talking in half an
0:17:02 > 0:17:07hour about this story, estate agents growing gloomier over sales. It
0:17:07 > 0:17:12seems every day we have a different verdict on the housing market, but
0:17:12 > 0:17:15the Royal Institute of chartered surveyors has said that optimism has
0:17:15 > 0:17:20affected the market, and that could mean that prices stagnate or start
0:17:20 > 0:17:24to fall, and that contrasts with the suggestion that prices are rising in
0:17:24 > 0:17:28most parts of the country but not in London and the south-east.Which is
0:17:28 > 0:17:33the survey which is given the most credence? It seems every day there
0:17:33 > 0:17:37is a different...It is difficult because they look at different parts
0:17:37 > 0:17:43of the process. So the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors
0:17:43 > 0:17:48looks at sales. Other organisations look at selling prices, so it looks
0:17:48 > 0:17:53at different stages of that process. Some look forward and stumbled
0:17:53 > 0:17:57backwards. It is not always easy to compare like for like.Talking about
0:17:57 > 0:18:03a crucial World Cup play-off to come, and the steps managers
0:18:03 > 0:18:07undertake to protect their players. So ahead of a crucial qualifier
0:18:07 > 0:18:11against Holland, they took to kidnapping George Best, days before
0:18:11 > 0:18:17their game, so that he didn't go missing. Knowing that he was their
0:18:17 > 0:18:23best player.Was this in response to concerns about his social
0:18:23 > 0:18:27activities?It may have come into it. Three days before they kidnapped
0:18:27 > 0:18:32him and looked after him so when they played against Holland, they
0:18:32 > 0:18:36knew that he would do the business on the pitch. I am sure they don't
0:18:36 > 0:18:42need to go to those kinds of length these days.It sort of makes sense.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Does, doesn't it, protecting your interest. And the story from the
0:18:47 > 0:19:04Times this morning. Uber and Uber NASA. -- Uber and NASA. We talk
0:19:04 > 0:19:09about this vision of the future and all these things flying around our
0:19:09 > 0:19:14head, but Uber are in a position where they could launch a autonomous
0:19:14 > 0:19:20flying taxis, but not before 2020. And I have seen this with my own
0:19:20 > 0:19:28eyes, it never ceases to amaze me, these pictures. This is a ban which
0:19:28 > 0:19:32has finally come in in the centre of Venice. You look out over the
0:19:32 > 0:19:36cityscape and you see these cruise ships which more right next to the
0:19:36 > 0:19:41square. And now Venice has finally banned them from coming in quite so
0:19:41 > 0:19:48close -- moor.I am amazed that can be so deep so close to the shore, as
0:19:48 > 0:20:02well.If you are enjoying your coffee, or whatever it is.I would
0:20:02 > 0:20:05sit with my back to it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13For some of us, a crisp, sunny start, but by no means is it like
0:20:13 > 0:20:17that everywhere. It is a cloudy start. We have some patchy light
0:20:17 > 0:20:20rain and drizzle but we will see some sunny spells developing
0:20:20 > 0:20:23initially in the north, and as this weather fronts sinks southwards, the
0:20:23 > 0:20:28cold front will be colder behind it but we will see that sunshine coming
0:20:28 > 0:20:32through. It will not be until much later in the day we see that in the
0:20:32 > 0:20:36south. First thing this morning we have some rain around, we have some
0:20:36 > 0:20:40drizzle, we have a lot of cloud as well, some patchy mist and fog here
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and there, but not particularly cold for most. In the far south-east it
0:20:43 > 0:20:47is a bit nippy and as we travel further north, where we have the
0:20:47 > 0:21:01clear skies, again it is a wee bit on the nippy side if you are
0:21:01 > 0:21:05stepping out first thing. The other thing we have a quite a lot of
0:21:05 > 0:21:09showers in the north and west, and here they are blustery. It is quite
0:21:09 > 0:21:13windy, especially in the far north of Scotland. Through the day you can
0:21:13 > 0:21:16see how the sunshine comes out kind this weather front, scooting down
0:21:16 > 0:21:20towards the south-east, so it will be quite dull for much of the day
0:21:20 > 0:21:23across parts of southern England. But look at these temperatures, they
0:21:23 > 0:21:27are not bad at all for this time of year. The average is nine to 11 but
0:21:27 > 0:21:31in any sunny breaks in south-west England we could see 13 or 14. As we
0:21:31 > 0:21:35head on through the evening and the overnight period, a lot of clearer
0:21:35 > 0:21:39skies coming in from the west. Some rain will be introduced on the
0:21:39 > 0:21:41hills, as it continues its descent southwards. Showers coming across
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Scotland, over the hills, some of those are likely to be wintry as
0:21:45 > 0:21:48well. Tomorrow we have a weather front sinking down towards the south
0:21:48 > 0:21:52once again, taking its cloud and ran with it. Behind it, it brightens up.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55In a north-westerly flow by tomorrow, you can see that by the
0:21:55 > 0:21:59direction of the wind arrows, here we will be blowing in some showers.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03And again, on the hills in Scotland we are likely to see some of those
0:22:03 > 0:22:06being wintry in nature. Cool, following on behind the weather
0:22:06 > 0:22:10front. Six to eight in the north. As we push down towards the south, 12
0:22:10 > 0:22:13and 13. As we head into the weekend, we continue with some changeable
0:22:13 > 0:22:16weather. We have the remnants of tropical storm Rina. It will have
0:22:16 > 0:22:20lost its tropical storm elements by then, so what we will have as a band
0:22:20 > 0:22:24of cloud and rain courtesy of this, pulling away during the course of
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Saturday, Armistice Day. It brightens up quite nicely, some
0:22:28 > 0:22:32showers in the north and again it will feel quite nippy if you are
0:22:32 > 0:22:37stepping out. For Remembrance Sunday, another dry and bright day.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Temperatures ranging from six in the north to ten or 12 in the south, so
0:22:41 > 0:22:45almost bang on for this time of year. And as we head into the early
0:22:45 > 0:22:49part of next week we are back in the Atlantic weather fronts coming our
0:22:49 > 0:22:53way, so it will not feel as cold. So to answer your question about
0:22:53 > 0:22:57whether it is cold or not, we have a little bit of everything over the
0:22:57 > 0:23:01next few days.That is what we like, Carol, you give us everything we
0:23:01 > 0:23:02need.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06The main stories this morning: Theresa May is under pressure
0:23:06 > 0:23:07after losing another Cabinet Minister.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Priti Patel resigned last night, as new details emerged
0:23:10 > 0:23:15about unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17The First Minister of Wales is to respond to criticism
0:23:17 > 0:23:20over his handling of harassment allegations against the former
0:23:20 > 0:23:22minister Carl Sergeant, who is believed to have
0:23:22 > 0:23:27taken his own life after being sacked.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Tomorrow is the deadline for people who have applied for the personal
0:23:31 > 0:23:33independence payment to submit details of their experience
0:23:33 > 0:23:34to a group of MPs.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37The Work and Pensions committee is looking into the scheme,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40which was introduced in 2013 to help people with the extra costs
0:23:40 > 0:23:42associated with long-term illness or disability.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44PIPs have been controversial since their creation,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47and disability rights campaigners claim some people are being denied
0:23:47 > 0:23:48the payments they need.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Breakfast's Tim Muffett has been speaking to one woman
0:23:50 > 0:24:02about her experience of the system.
0:24:02 > 0:24:11PIPs are not just a familiar sound to Daisy, she is reliant upon them.
0:24:11 > 0:24:11Personal independence payments.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12to Daisy, she is reliant upon them. Personal independence payments. They
0:24:12 > 0:24:16keep her financially afloat it was her disability means she is at home,
0:24:16 > 0:24:23unable to work.So I have lupus, and I have another syndrome, so a lot of
0:24:23 > 0:24:27heart problems. I dislocate a lot, mobility is pretty appalling, as is
0:24:27 > 0:24:31everything else.And how important are the personal independence
0:24:31 > 0:24:37payments, which you get?They are essential. It is the only way I
0:24:37 > 0:24:45could afford to be disabled.But at first, Daisy was refused benefit.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50PIP was introduced in 2013. The idea was to ensure benefits go to those
0:24:50 > 0:24:55with the greatest need. The big change is the use of face-to-face
0:24:55 > 0:25:00assessments to decide who gets the money. Assessors make a judgement as
0:25:00 > 0:25:07to how well a candidate can carry out everyday tasks such as dressing,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10cooking and moving about and these assessments are carried out by
0:25:10 > 0:25:14private companies. Daisy, what was your experience?Pretty
0:25:14 > 0:25:18dehumanising, whether I could live my knees up, how far I could live my
0:25:18 > 0:25:22arms, and it was done by a paramedic. He would have had no
0:25:22 > 0:25:26professional knowledge of my condition or understanding of a
0:25:26 > 0:25:30disability or fluctuating chronic illness. Took off and put on her
0:25:30 > 0:25:35jumper. Average build, casually dressed, did not appear to be
0:25:35 > 0:25:40trembling.So you think these criteria are used to decide that you
0:25:40 > 0:25:47don't qualify for these payments? Yes, at best they are irrelevant. At
0:25:47 > 0:25:53worst, they are a cynical justification of trying to deny
0:25:53 > 0:25:59needed money.Daisy appealed, and the judge agreed, overturning the
0:25:59 > 0:26:03original decision. According to the Department of Work and Pensions,
0:26:03 > 0:26:08since PIP was introduced, more than 2.4 million decisions was made, and
0:26:08 > 0:26:11of these, 8% were appealed, 4% overturned.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16There is obviously one or two Robbins with that report. We will
0:26:16 > 0:26:19try and bring you the completed version later on this morning. Tim
0:26:19 > 0:26:26Muffett discussing the criteria for PIP benefits, there. We will examine
0:26:26 > 0:26:33more about the resignation of Priti Patel. Was it forced, and as the
0:26:33 > 0:26:39prime Minister's Cabinet in chaos? We will talk to Iain Duncan Smith.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Still to come this morning: As the BBC News website
0:26:42 > 0:26:45celebrates its 20th birthday, we will look at how digital services
0:26:45 > 0:30:05have transformed the way people get their headlines.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06in half an hour.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Now, though, it is back to Charlie and Naga.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Bye for now.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga
0:30:18 > 0:30:18Munchetty.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23but also on Breakfast this morning.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25As Theresa May loses her second Cabinet member
0:30:25 > 0:30:29in a week - we'll ask former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith
0:30:29 > 0:30:31where the latest departure leaves the Prime Minister.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Scientists say that wounds sustained during the day heal much
0:30:33 > 0:30:35more quickly than those suffered at night.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38We'll find out how our internal body clock affects every aspect
0:30:38 > 0:30:58of our lives - from sleeping to healing.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59He's best-known for transforming homes
0:30:59 > 0:31:02across Britain with the help of his "DIY SOS" team -
0:31:02 > 0:31:05now Nick Knowles has teamed up with Pudsey for a special
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Children In Need challenge.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08He'll be right here on the sofa.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Good Morning,
0:31:09 > 0:31:12here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Theresa May is under pressure to restore stability
0:31:14 > 0:31:17to the Government after the second resignation from her Cabinet
0:31:17 > 0:31:18in a week.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19The International Development Secretary,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Priti Patel, stepped down last night after more questions were raised
0:31:22 > 0:31:24about her unauthorised meetings with Israeli politicians.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26The departure of Ms Patel has fuelled opposition accusations
0:31:26 > 0:31:30that the government is in chaos, and Mrs May is losing her authority.
0:31:30 > 0:31:47Here's our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth.
0:31:49 > 0:31:57There is a divide. There are essentially Remainers who are
0:31:57 > 0:32:00unchanged and haven't truly accepted. I think there are quite a
0:32:00 > 0:32:05lot of people who work quite in the balance when they made the decision
0:32:05 > 0:32:12who are now really rather enthusiastic about Brexit.And we
0:32:12 > 0:32:16will be seeking with Iain Duncan Smith at ten past seven.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18British officials will travel to Brussels for further
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Brexit talks today.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23It's the first set of negotiations since EU leaders agreed to begin
0:32:23 > 0:32:25preparing for discussions about the future relationship with
0:32:25 > 0:32:25Britain.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27The Brexit secretary, David Davis and the EU's chief
0:32:27 > 0:32:29negotiator Michel Barnier will join the talks tomorrow,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32which are likely to centre around the UK's financial obligations
0:32:32 > 0:32:35and the rights of British people living in the EU.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, is to issue
0:32:38 > 0:32:41a statement today amid criticism of the way he handled misconduct
0:32:41 > 0:32:44allegations against a Welsh Cabinet member, who is believed to have
0:32:44 > 0:32:45taken his own life.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48The family of Carl Sargeant - who'd been accused
0:32:48 > 0:32:50of inappropriate touching - says he was denied natural justice
0:32:50 > 0:32:53because he wasn't given details of the allegations which led
0:32:53 > 0:33:00to his sacking.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Police forces in England and Wales are struggling to meet demand,
0:33:03 > 0:33:07due to a surge in the number of calls from members of the public.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10A survey by the policing watchdog says the service is under
0:33:10 > 0:33:11"significant stress" because of budget cuts,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15although it says forces could help by making further efficiencies.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18US President Donald Trump has urged Chinese leader Xi Jinping to "work
0:33:18 > 0:33:21very hard" on persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Discussions on how to deal with North Korea's threats
0:33:24 > 0:33:26to the region have dominated the agenda during Mr Trump's
0:33:26 > 0:33:27tour of Asia.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30This morning he warned that "time is quickly running out" to deal
0:33:30 > 0:33:43with the North Korean nuclear threat.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47We agreed on the need to implement all security resolutions and to
0:33:47 > 0:33:54exert pressure on North Korea to abandon it reckless and dangerous
0:33:54 > 0:33:55path.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58An extended ban on a group of controversial pesticides will be
0:33:58 > 0:34:00supported "in principle" by the UK government,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02according to the environment secretary Michael Gove.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Environmentalists have been campaigning for tighter controls
0:34:06 > 0:34:09over the use of neo-nicotinoids which they say are harming bees
0:34:09 > 0:34:10and other pollinators.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13The government has previously resisted EU restrictions but Mr Gove
0:34:13 > 0:34:22says he recogises the mounting body of evidence against the chemicals.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Now what's the first thing you'd do if your numbers came up
0:34:25 > 0:34:26on the lottery?
0:34:26 > 0:34:27Hand your notice in?
0:34:27 > 0:34:32That's exactly what six hospital kitchen workers South Wales
0:34:32 > 0:34:34have done after scooping 25 million on the Euromillions.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37The women have been playing as a work syndicate
0:34:37 > 0:34:38for the past six years.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43They're currently planning a dream holiday together to Las Vegas.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48Good for them!
0:34:48 > 0:34:55S what have we got in sport?Apart from taking you all out for a meal,
0:34:55 > 0:34:59maybe I would take you to Australia. I don't think that would be the
0:34:59 > 0:35:04first thing you would do, take us all out for a meal.You would
0:35:04 > 0:35:10probably keep it under wraps, wouldn't you? A fancy car and a
0:35:10 > 0:35:25lovely -- is a gift away. -- would be a giveaway.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28It's ben a good morning so far for England, they've lost just
0:35:28 > 0:35:29the one wicket.
0:35:29 > 0:35:36If they lose, the series is over. But they have started well.
0:35:41 > 0:35:47What a catch in the field. Tammy Beaumont reached the boundary with
0:35:47 > 0:35:54this shot.
0:35:57 > 0:36:11England were 100 41. -- 100/1.
0:36:11 > 0:36:11they're
0:36:11 > 0:36:14playing their second warm up match ahead of their Ashes series,
0:36:14 > 0:36:15beginning on the 23rd of this month.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill says
0:36:23 > 0:36:25he believes his players won't waste their opportunity
0:36:25 > 0:36:26to qualify for the World Cup.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29They face Switzerland tonight in at Windsor park
0:36:29 > 0:36:32in the first leg of a play-off, with the second leg on Sunday.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34The winners are off to Russia next Summer.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38The players have done fantastically to get into this situation. I see in
0:36:38 > 0:36:41the squad and opportunity they don't want to waste but equally, they have
0:36:41 > 0:36:44done everything so far and anticipated they will do everything
0:36:44 > 0:36:47over the next two games to try and make it a reality.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Elsewhere tonight Scotland host the Netherlands in a friendly.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52England and Germany players meanwhile will wear black armbands
0:36:52 > 0:36:54bearing poppies for tomorrow's friendly at Wembley.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56It comes after rules were changed last month,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59allowing the home nations to wear a poppy if opposing teams
0:36:59 > 0:37:01and the competition organiser agree to it.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Wales will also wear black armbands bearing poppies for tomorrow's
0:37:04 > 0:37:05friendly against France in Paris.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Eniola Aluko, the England striker turned FA whistleblower says she's
0:37:08 > 0:37:10'disappointed and surprised' her national teammates haven't
0:37:10 > 0:37:12backed her highlighting wider issues at the organisation.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15The Chelsea forward, who hasn't played for England in 18
0:37:15 > 0:37:18months, has been in a dispute with the Football Association over
0:37:18 > 0:37:22racial discrimination.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26It's been very divisive and very adversarial and I think the players
0:37:26 > 0:37:30have been trapped into it. The players have their own mind, though.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35They should be able to say, actually, maybe step back from this
0:37:35 > 0:37:42and see how this may benefit. If I have a problem, if they have a
0:37:42 > 0:37:51problem, they have a process that is going to protect them.
0:37:51 > 0:38:00They won the first leg of their tie, this, the pick of the goals. What a
0:38:00 > 0:38:08finish to put the blues on their way.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12David Moyes says he's on 'a mission' and has something to prove
0:38:12 > 0:38:14in his new job at West Ham United.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Moyes faced the media for the first time since replacing
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Slaven Bilic and says he wants to restore his reputation
0:38:19 > 0:38:21after being relegated with Sunderland last season.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Do you know something? I do have a point to prove. I do. They think
0:38:25 > 0:38:30maybe I have to do that. Sometimes you have two repair things and
0:38:30 > 0:38:32maybe...
0:38:32 > 0:38:37And honest assessment of the job he faces at West Ham.
0:38:37 > 0:38:44Lewis Hamilton won't let the controversy over his tax affairs

0:38:57 > 0:39:00scrutiny in the Paradise papers.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14weekend. I still have two races to go. Don't really have anything to
0:39:14 > 0:39:17add to the whole scenario that is happening.
0:39:17 > 0:39:23He certainly cuts are relaxed figure. The pressure is off. He
0:39:23 > 0:39:28needs to go out and do what he does best. He seems to perform best when
0:39:28 > 0:39:32the pressure is on. Some people really perform well to that. --
0:39:32 > 0:39:44respond well.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Every year, police in England and Wales receive more than eight
0:39:47 > 0:39:48million 999 calls.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51But a report by the policing watchdog claims that some of those
0:39:51 > 0:39:54calls - including requests to deal with cases of criminal damage
0:39:54 > 0:39:56and assault - are going unanswered.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58The Inspectorate of Constabulary says it recognises
0:39:58 > 0:39:59that forces are under "signifcant stress",
0:39:59 > 0:40:02but says they could make further efficiencies to meet demand.

0:40:11 > 0:40:26Can you give us a sense of the problems?Both of the numbers' calls
0:40:26 > 0:40:31have increased drastically. We are seeing police being contacted more
0:40:31 > 0:40:34eco- Ther are new and different challenges facing residents and the
0:40:34 > 0:40:41country as a whole. Where forces have been under significant strain,
0:40:41 > 0:40:47they are struggling to cope with some of that demand. Police forces
0:40:47 > 0:40:52have been asked to provide evidence to the government of this
0:40:52 > 0:40:55significant challenge. This independent report has backed up
0:40:55 > 0:41:00this. They need to back us with this extra resources.Your particular
0:41:00 > 0:41:09area, you are in Kent, if you are in a control room day in, day out, and
0:41:09 > 0:41:15you find your officers can't cope with the demand, what is happening
0:41:15 > 0:41:19on the ground at that moment in time? The very next day, do you have
0:41:19 > 0:41:24the ability to put another officer on the line and react in any way?
0:41:24 > 0:41:29What we have seen in my area in Kent, we have increased the number
0:41:29 > 0:41:32of police officers in the last year that not all police officers have
0:41:32 > 0:41:39been in a position to do that. We are prioritising 999 emergency calls
0:41:39 > 0:41:44and people who are vulnerable, making sure they get the service
0:41:44 > 0:41:53they deserve. What we are seeing is the impact where 999 calls are
0:41:53 > 0:42:00projected over 101 calls, it's when 101 calls increase. The police force
0:42:00 > 0:42:04is doing a good job and we are trying to meet the challenges that
0:42:04 > 0:42:10it is becoming harder.The reality, this morning, someone will be making
0:42:10 > 0:42:15the emergency call and the reason they are making the call is because
0:42:15 > 0:42:20it is important for them. It could be any number of offences. The
0:42:20 > 0:42:24assumption people make is that something will happen as a result of
0:42:24 > 0:42:28making that call. What we are realising is sometimes nothing at
0:42:28 > 0:42:32all happens. The call just takes place and nothing happens the odd
0:42:32 > 0:42:38that.I can speak for my own area and make sure every crime is
0:42:38 > 0:42:44investigated. Most police forces Doedee that the sure we are
0:42:44 > 0:42:55prioritising emergencies. -- most police forces do that. We need to
0:42:55 > 0:43:00make it a priority to prioritise. As a police and crime commission is, we
0:43:00 > 0:43:05have put a bid in to the government for extra funding that will increase
0:43:05 > 0:43:10the number of firearms officers so we can do that. There are
0:43:10 > 0:43:17significant are the challenges that people are phoning 999 and 1014. --1
0:43:17 > 0:43:2901. There needs to be an awareness campaign around racy sure 999 and
0:43:29 > 0:43:39101 are being used to the right reasons. -- making sure.In Kent,
0:43:39 > 0:43:43your area, and I understand you can't speak for other areas, you are
0:43:43 > 0:43:47saying every 999 call is investigated. That is a bold call
0:43:47 > 0:43:53considering in this report examples have come out where nothing is done
0:43:53 > 0:43:59to investigate things including violence and criminal damage.What I
0:43:59 > 0:44:07said was every crime in Kent is investigated. A do a lot of work by
0:44:07 > 0:44:12telephone to understand what the issues are so every crime in Kent is
0:44:12 > 0:44:20investigated. Performance in other forces has been looked into...You
0:44:20 > 0:44:23are saying, "Raised some concerns"
0:44:23 > 0:44:25forces has been looked into...You are saying, "Raised some concerns".
0:44:25 > 0:44:34Raising some concerns in this case, I could call up 909 and report a
0:44:34 > 0:44:38violent crime and then nothing is done.Well, that shouldn't be the
0:44:38 > 0:44:48case.That this report is saying it is the case.Yes. It isn't -- it
0:44:48 > 0:44:53shouldn't be the case will stop we have to make sure that victims of
0:44:53 > 0:44:57crime in our areas get the services they deserve and that is what I do
0:44:57 > 0:45:04and that is what my colleagues do. -- it shouldn't be the case.Matthew
0:45:04 > 0:45:12Scott, thank you very much.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18The main stories this morning: Theresa May is under pressure
0:45:18 > 0:45:22after losing another Cabinet Minister.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Priti Patel resigned last night, as new details emerged
0:45:24 > 0:45:26about unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29The First Minister of Wales is to respond to criticism
0:45:29 > 0:45:31over his handling of harassment allegations against the former
0:45:31 > 0:45:34minister Carl Sergeant, who is believed to have
0:45:34 > 0:45:40taken his own life after being sacked.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
0:45:45 > 0:45:50Good morning, though. Good morning to you. That is absolutely right.
0:45:50 > 0:45:55The next few days' weather is changeable, and into the weekend it
0:45:55 > 0:45:58is going to turn much colder and the beginning of next week, with
0:45:58 > 0:46:02Atlantic fronts coming our way, it won't feel as cold. This morning is
0:46:02 > 0:46:06a great start to the day for many parts. Patchy rain and drizzle,
0:46:06 > 0:46:09brighter, clearer skies in the north, but through the day you will
0:46:09 > 0:46:15find that as this weather front traverses southwards, the rain will
0:46:15 > 0:46:19move southwards as well, arriving late afternoon and in the evening
0:46:19 > 0:46:22time. First thing this morning we have a weak weather front producing
0:46:22 > 0:46:27lots of cloud and some spots of rain in the south. Before that arrives in
0:46:27 > 0:46:30the extreme south-east, if you are out early you will notice it is
0:46:30 > 0:46:34quite chilly. As we move northwards, again, still a fair bit of cloud
0:46:34 > 0:46:37around. Some patchy, light rain and some drizzle on that. But for
0:46:37 > 0:46:43northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, by the time we get to
0:46:43 > 0:46:478am, it will be brightening up quite nicely, with the exception of some
0:46:47 > 0:46:51showers across north and west of Scotland. Getting off eventually
0:46:51 > 0:46:55into the Dover Straits and behind it we have this clear and brighter
0:46:55 > 0:46:58weather coming in. So an improving picture if you like the sunshine.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Still blustery across the north of the country, and temperatures
0:47:01 > 0:47:09ranging from eight in the north to 14 in parts of Wales in south-west
0:47:09 > 0:47:14England in sunshine. Through the evening and overnight, we start off
0:47:14 > 0:47:17with clearer skies and it will be chilly first thing. A weather front
0:47:17 > 0:47:21coming in from the west introducing thicker cloud and rain, and that
0:47:21 > 0:47:24will be pushing eastwards and southwards as we go through the
0:47:24 > 0:47:28course of the night. Where it was wet to start with it will be dry,
0:47:28 > 0:47:31clear and cold. In Scotland we are looking at widespread frost as well
0:47:31 > 0:47:35as all those showers. Tomorrow, we will still hang the showers across
0:47:35 > 0:47:39Scotland. Some of them will be wintry on the hills. A weather front
0:47:39 > 0:47:44sinks South and clears more readily from the south than it will do
0:47:44 > 0:47:47today. Behind it, not a bad day, actually. A lot of sunshine around.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51It will feel chilly in the northern half of the country. Temperatures
0:47:51 > 0:47:55five to about eight or nine. In the south, still into double figures. We
0:47:55 > 0:48:00are looking at ten to about 13 or 14. As we head into the weekend,
0:48:00 > 0:48:03this is when it turns that bit colder. For starters, we have the
0:48:03 > 0:48:11remnants of ex- tropical storm Rina coming our way. It will have lost
0:48:11 > 0:48:14its tropical components but it will bring us some cloud and rain. That
0:48:14 > 0:48:17will move across us during the course of Saturday morning,
0:48:17 > 0:48:21Armistice Day. Behind it, we are looking at brighter conditions, some
0:48:21 > 0:48:25sunshine, but it will feel cold in the north in particular. It will
0:48:25 > 0:48:31feel cold wherever you are on Saturday, and as for Sunday, a
0:48:31 > 0:48:36different story. If you are going to any outdoor services, you will need
0:48:36 > 0:48:40to wrap up wobbly. Feeling cold, temperatures in the north about six
0:48:40 > 0:48:45or seven. As we come south, we might squeeze out a ten or 12 and as we
0:48:45 > 0:48:49get into the early part of next week, the weather front comes back
0:48:49 > 0:48:52from the Atlantic in the shape of weather front so we are looking at
0:48:52 > 0:48:55it not being as cold. -- weather fronts.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Are house prices going up or down?
0:48:57 > 0:49:00We seem to get a lot of updates on the property market,
0:49:00 > 0:49:02but they all show different things.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05Ben is trying to get to the bottom of what is actually happening.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09I will try and explain why they show different things. Good morning to
0:49:09 > 0:49:09you.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Today's figures are from the Royal Institution
0:49:11 > 0:49:13of Chartered Surveyors, and they suggest that sales
0:49:13 > 0:49:16are falling, rather than just slowing down, and that has meant
0:49:16 > 0:49:18that prices were pretty stagnant across the country.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22And that is much more downbeat than what we have heard
0:49:22 > 0:49:27from the rest of the industry.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30On Tuesday, the UK's biggest lender, the Halifax, said that a shortage
0:49:30 > 0:49:34of homes for sale pushed house prices in October up by 4.5% -
0:49:34 > 0:49:36the fastest rate since February.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38And, earlier this month, the Nationwide said prices
0:49:38 > 0:49:40were going up 2.5% because of that shortage of houses
0:49:40 > 0:49:41and cheap mortgages.
0:49:41 > 0:49:45So what is really going on?
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Lucian Cook is with me.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51He is head of research at property group Savills.
0:49:51 > 0:49:56Good morning. What is going on? Why do all these surveys say different
0:49:56 > 0:50:02things?Well, the industry groups often measure different things, so
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Halifax and Nationwide reflect what they have seen recently is the deals
0:50:05 > 0:50:11which have actually been done. The RICS tends to be a better indicator
0:50:11 > 0:50:15of what has actually been done, so it is slightly more up-to-date. In
0:50:15 > 0:50:18totality it is suggesting the market is relatively subdued, there is
0:50:18 > 0:50:23relatively little upward treasure on house prices and both buyers and
0:50:23 > 0:50:27sellers are relatively cautious. So, as much as people are not actively
0:50:27 > 0:50:30out their bidding, nor are they necessarily bringing a lot of
0:50:30 > 0:50:34property to the market.So why are cautious? A lot of things have gone
0:50:34 > 0:50:40on at the moment. Talk me through it.A lot of it is uncertainty about
0:50:40 > 0:50:46the economic backdrop, things going on with Brexit, and the mortgage
0:50:46 > 0:50:50sector has been hit very hard. It is paying higher rates of stamp duty
0:50:50 > 0:50:54and just beginning to see the effects of mortgage regulation, and
0:50:54 > 0:50:58other tax measures are holding that back. And then there is London. We
0:50:58 > 0:51:02talk about house prices as a whole but there is big regional variation,
0:51:02 > 0:51:08and that London market which has had a bullish run, 65 to 70% house price
0:51:08 > 0:51:11growth in the last ten years, it is just hitting the
0:51:11 > 0:51:12growth in the last ten years, it is just hitting the limits of what
0:51:12 > 0:51:16people can afford.That is London and the south-east, and trends would
0:51:16 > 0:51:20dictate that afterwards the rest of the country catches up. Are we
0:51:20 > 0:51:27seeing that happening?I think over the next five years, we are
0:51:27 > 0:51:31forecasting at Savills that house prices as a whole will go up 14% but
0:51:31 > 0:51:34the strongest growing region is likely to be the west, at around
0:51:34 > 0:51:3914%, London much lower at 7%. That really is a reflection of where we
0:51:39 > 0:51:42sit in the cycle. The level of catch-up is much slower than we have
0:51:42 > 0:51:46seen in previous cycles, we are anticipating, and that is against
0:51:46 > 0:51:50the context of increasing mortgage regulation and the degree of
0:51:50 > 0:51:54uncertainty, as well as interest rate rises.What about the
0:51:54 > 0:51:58north-west means it is the standout region for you?Part of it is about
0:51:58 > 0:52:03Manchester as a city, and what that brings. The economic vibrancy and
0:52:03 > 0:52:06the range of the economy and the services provided through
0:52:06 > 0:52:11Manchester. We see that on the rise. Part of it is simply looking at
0:52:11 > 0:52:15trends as to what has happened in the past. You tend to find in any
0:52:15 > 0:52:18part of the cycle that the strong as performing market is either London
0:52:18 > 0:52:22or the north of the country, and the rest sits somewhere in the middle.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26And as promised, a word on interest rate rises. We had that first rate
0:52:26 > 0:52:30rise in more than ten years recently. I guess it is too early to
0:52:30 > 0:52:33see what effect that has on the market, but there is a psychological
0:52:33 > 0:52:37effects, first of all.I think that first increase is small, it is not
0:52:37 > 0:52:40significant, it will not put any families under significant financial
0:52:40 > 0:52:44pressure but it does signify that rates are going to go up over the
0:52:44 > 0:52:47period of the next five years, and that I think we'll really
0:52:47 > 0:52:50constrained house price growth at the back end of the next five-year
0:52:50 > 0:52:53period. Not necessarily because people can't afford their mortgage
0:52:53 > 0:52:57and bring property... Can't afford that mortgage and therefore have to
0:52:57 > 0:53:01sell their property, but it is much more that when they go to get a
0:53:01 > 0:53:03mortgage, their ability to get a mortgage becomes more constrained
0:53:03 > 0:53:08and so their buying power is that much less.It is good to talk to
0:53:08 > 0:53:12you. Thank you for explaining all of that. I hope that explains some of
0:53:12 > 0:53:16the role of view, and for you, Charlie.It is worthwhile, because
0:53:16 > 0:53:20it is confusing. You hear one thing one day, and a different thing the
0:53:20 > 0:53:25next day.They all measure slightly different things, so look at it all.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28The BBC News Channel and BBC News online were both launched 20 years
0:53:28 > 0:53:32ago this week, marking a watershed in how people consume their news.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Here is Nick Higham, with a look back to those early
0:53:35 > 0:53:38days, and at the impact online digital services have had on the way
0:53:38 > 0:53:39we get our headlines.
0:53:39 > 0:53:45Hello, and welcome for the first time the BBC News 24. I am Gavin
0:53:45 > 0:53:51Esler. And I am Sarah Montague. November the ninth 1997 and BBC News
0:53:51 > 0:53:55the evil goes on air. The first time, BBC viewers did not have to
0:53:55 > 0:54:00wait for the news at 6pm or nine p.m.. It was available on tap.I was
0:54:00 > 0:54:04hoping that it would just become something people would turn on when
0:54:04 > 0:54:08they wanted to know the news. Why should we tell them when they had to
0:54:08 > 0:54:12sit down and watch the news? I thought it would be a truly a
0:54:12 > 0:54:16utility that once we started it would never go off air.Was that
0:54:16 > 0:54:20what happened?It went off air almost immediately because of
0:54:20 > 0:54:25technical difficulties. The computers didn't work.It took time,
0:54:25 > 0:54:31but they did overcome the technical problems.You may have heard that
0:54:31 > 0:54:34air fronts...Jane Hill, the only original presenter still on air,
0:54:34 > 0:54:41recalls they came of age when an air fronts Concorde crash in -- near
0:54:41 > 0:54:45Paris.It was the first time we were Simulcast and the channel ran on BBC
0:54:45 > 0:54:48One and BBC Two, because the controllers of those big national
0:54:48 > 0:54:52channels took the view that that was such a big, unexpected story that
0:54:52 > 0:54:56the audience appetite wanted to watch that story unfold.We have
0:54:56 > 0:55:00some remarkable pictures coming in from New York, which we can go to
0:55:00 > 0:55:05now.Since then, the channel has covered many major stories.Now,
0:55:05 > 0:55:08some breaking news. Reports are just coming in of an explosion at
0:55:08 > 0:55:12Liverpool Street station here in London. London Fire Brigade has
0:55:12 > 0:55:16confirmed they are dealing with this serious fire in a tower block at
0:55:16 > 0:55:21Latimer Road in west London.The BBC was late getting into the business
0:55:21 > 0:55:26of rolling television news. CNN had started in America in 1980. Sky News
0:55:26 > 0:55:30here in Britain in 1989. But where the BBC was a pioneer was in
0:55:30 > 0:55:34providing news on the web. For really significant events, that week
0:55:34 > 0:55:41in November 1997, was the launch of BBC News online. It started modestly
0:55:41 > 0:55:45but soon grew rapidly, deliberately trying to appeal to a new, younger
0:55:45 > 0:55:50audience.The idea was that online would start to reintroduce young
0:55:50 > 0:55:55people the news, because they were using computers, and it was so
0:55:55 > 0:55:59successful that very soon it became difficult technically to keep up
0:55:59 > 0:56:05with the demand. Because it was being pumped down, you know,
0:56:05 > 0:56:09Victorian copper telephone lines, basically.These days, online and
0:56:09 > 0:56:13digital services are at the heart of the BBC's newsroom. There has been a
0:56:13 > 0:56:16fundamental shift in the way people get their news, often through social
0:56:16 > 0:56:21media like Twitter and Facebook. That worries some.When you were
0:56:21 > 0:56:25just consuming your news maybe three times a day from the television
0:56:25 > 0:56:29bulletin, you were obliged to look at things that you didn't know you
0:56:29 > 0:56:33didn't know, or didn't know you might be interested in. But now we
0:56:33 > 0:56:36have already, to some extent, decided what we are going to be
0:56:36 > 0:56:40interested in, and who we are going to want to discuss with and receive
0:56:40 > 0:56:44news from. And that is a real problem with the social media news
0:56:44 > 0:56:51phenomenon.The webolution in news that started 20 years ago may not be
0:56:51 > 0:56:53over yet.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57That is one of those things that... When you say that feels like
0:56:57 > 0:57:02yesterday.And some things don't change, do they? Technical problems?
0:57:02 > 0:57:06It is true that some things are outside of our control, and they
0:57:06 > 1:00:29remain the same. It is true, it's true.How to make friends!
1:00:29 > 1:00:32and after that it's going to become dry and chilly,
1:00:32 > 1:00:34with a northerly wind for the weekend.
1:00:34 > 1:00:37I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
1:00:37 > 1:00:38in half an hour.
1:00:38 > 1:00:40Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
1:00:40 > 1:00:42Now, though, it is back to Charlie and Naga.

1:01:10 > 1:01:12Good morning, it's Thursday the ninth of November.
1:01:12 > 1:01:13Also this morning -
1:01:13 > 1:01:15The First Minister of Wales will respond to criticism
1:01:15 > 1:01:18over his handling of harassment allegations against the former
1:01:18 > 1:01:19minister Carl Sergeant who's believed to have
1:01:19 > 1:01:21taken his own life.
1:01:21 > 1:01:23Some police control rooms are struggling to meet demand
1:01:23 > 1:01:26because of a surge in calls - the Inspector of Constabulary warns
1:01:26 > 1:01:37that budgest cuts are putting forces under "significant stress".
1:01:37 > 1:01:44Sainsbury's has just said profit is down. Supermarkets could be forced
1:01:44 > 1:01:51to raise prices. Be talking to the boss shortly.
1:01:51 > 1:01:52Good morning in Sport.
1:01:52 > 1:01:54A match England's Women cannot afford to lose

1:02:00 > 1:02:00wicket at tea.
1:02:00 > 1:02:04We will find out what different in the speed that wounds heal can tell
1:02:04 > 1:02:07us about the power of our internal body clock.
1:02:07 > 1:02:08And Carol has the weather.
1:02:08 > 1:02:12Patchy light rain and drizzle but bright, clear skies in the north and
1:02:12 > 1:02:15three the course of the day, the bright skies will push further
1:02:15 > 1:02:18south, getting into the far south of England late afternoon early
1:02:18 > 1:02:23evening. More details in 15 minutes.
1:02:23 > 1:02:24First, our main story.
1:02:24 > 1:02:26Theresa May is under pressure to restore stability
1:02:26 > 1:02:29to the Government after the second resignation from her Cabinet
1:02:29 > 1:02:31in a week.
1:02:31 > 1:02:32The International Development Secretary,
1:02:32 > 1:02:35Priti Patel, stepped down last night after more questions were raised
1:02:35 > 1:02:37about her unauthorised meetings with Israeli politicians.
1:02:37 > 1:02:40The departure of Ms Patel has fuelled opposition accusations
1:02:40 > 1:02:45that the government is in chaos, and Mrs May is losing her authority.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47Here's our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth.
1:02:47 > 1:02:50Arriving in London, Priti Patel could have guessed her fate.
1:02:50 > 1:03:03She had been summoned back from Kenya by Number Ten,
1:03:03 > 1:03:05an official trip to Africa cut short.
1:03:05 > 1:03:08She entered Downing Street by the back door and left having
1:03:08 > 1:03:10lost her job, resigning after failing to disclose details
1:03:10 > 1:03:12of unauthorised meetings with Israeli politicians.
1:03:12 > 1:03:16In her letter to the Prime Minister, she said: I accept my actions fell
1:03:16 > 1:03:19below the high standards that are expected of a Secretary of State.
1:03:19 > 1:03:23For the second time in just over a week, Theresa May must now decide
1:03:23 > 1:03:25how to fill a gap around the top table.
1:03:25 > 1:03:28Michael Fallon quit as defence secretary last week over
1:03:28 > 1:03:29his personal conduct.
1:03:29 > 1:03:31This team was carefully chosen to represent different Tory views
1:03:31 > 1:03:37over Brexit, and some are keen that is maintained.
1:03:37 > 1:03:40There is a divide between people who want Brexit to mean
1:03:40 > 1:03:42we are basically staying within the EU.
1:03:42 > 1:03:49They are essentially the Remainers who are unchanged.
1:03:49 > 1:03:52And they give a veneer of acceptance but haven't truly accepted.
1:03:52 > 1:03:55There are quite a lot of people who were quite balanced
1:03:55 > 1:03:58when they made the decision as to which side to support,
1:03:58 > 1:04:00who are now really rather enthusiastic about Brexit
1:04:00 > 1:04:05and want to get on with it properly.
1:04:05 > 1:04:08Whatever the Prime Minister's decision about who should now sit
1:04:08 > 1:04:13in her Cabinet, she will face intense scrutiny over her choice.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Let's speak to our political correspondent, Leila Nathoo,
1:04:15 > 1:04:17who's in Westminster for us this morning.
1:04:17 > 1:04:20This has left the Prime Minister in a problematic position,
1:04:20 > 1:04:21hasn't it?
1:04:21 > 1:04:25As we heard in that report, Theresa May is left with another big
1:04:25 > 1:04:31decision to make in amongst a pretty chaotic situation.Absolutely. She
1:04:31 > 1:04:39is not out of the woods yet. She will be watched closely for who she
1:04:39 > 1:04:42replaces Priti Patel with as International Development Secretary
1:04:42 > 1:04:45shall. She has tried to move quickly by effectively forcing Priti Patel
1:04:45 > 1:04:51to resign to try and rein in her ministers and keep some semblance of
1:04:51 > 1:04:59control. But there is, as you heard, remains a balance in the Cabinet.
1:04:59 > 1:05:10She is under pressure to replace Carl Sargeant. -- Priti Patel. The
1:05:10 > 1:05:28talks begin again today for Brexit. Sir Michael Fallon's there will be
1:05:28 > 1:05:33scrutiny. This whole episode goes to underline how fragile the government
1:05:33 > 1:05:36is.
1:05:36 > 1:05:38In a moment we'll speak to the former Conservative leader
1:05:38 > 1:05:40and cabinet minister, Iain Duncan Smith -
1:05:40 > 1:05:48that's at ten past seven.
1:05:48 > 1:05:50The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, is to issue
1:05:50 > 1:05:53a statement today amid criticism of the way he handled misconduct
1:05:53 > 1:05:56allegations against a Welsh Cabinet member, who is believed to have
1:05:56 > 1:05:57taken his own life.
1:05:57 > 1:06:01The family of Carl Sargeant - who'd been accused of inappropriate
1:06:01 > 1:06:03touching - says he was denied natural justice because he wasn't
1:06:03 > 1:06:06given details of the allegations which led to his sacking.
1:06:06 > 1:06:09Our reporter Tomos Morgan is at the Welsh Assembly
1:06:09 > 1:06:13for us this morning.
1:06:13 > 1:06:20We are expecting a statement or reaction from the First Minister.
1:06:20 > 1:06:25This is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges that the First
1:06:25 > 1:06:31Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones will have faced. In his eight-year reign.
1:06:31 > 1:06:35He has faced criticism from within his own party for the way that he
1:06:35 > 1:06:41handled this process when Mr Sargent was sacked from the Cabinet for
1:06:41 > 1:06:46alleged allegations on Friday and the process which led to his death
1:06:46 > 1:06:53on Tuesday. Just last night, a former Cabinet Secretary in Carwyn
1:06:53 > 1:07:01Jones's former government here in Cardiff Bay, heaped more criticism
1:07:01 > 1:07:06on Carwyn Jones and said he was angry with the fact Carwyn Jones had
1:07:06 > 1:07:09conducted media interviews just on Monday, the day before Carl
1:07:09 > 1:07:14Sargeant's death and he believes that Carwyn Jones had not followed
1:07:14 > 1:07:24the Chew process. Other parties within Wales have also called for
1:07:24 > 1:07:30Carwyn Jones to resign. The family of Carl Sargeant want it as well.
1:07:30 > 1:07:36The Labour Party said in line with the procedure, the nature was
1:07:36 > 1:07:44outlined to Mr Sargent that he will meet with people today in Cardiff
1:07:44 > 1:07:47Bay and issue a statement.
1:07:47 > 1:07:49Sainsbury's half-year results have just come out this -
1:07:49 > 1:07:52Ben's here with more.
1:07:52 > 1:07:57Just got off the phone with them telling us that profits are at 9%
1:07:57 > 1:08:03and that is for the half of the year, the last six months.
1:08:03 > 1:08:07Like-for-like sales are up a little bit. This is interesting because
1:08:07 > 1:08:13sales are rising but profits are falling. There has been
1:08:13 > 1:08:17well-documented issues for all of the supermarkets. The cost that they
1:08:17 > 1:08:23pay are going up as well. Sainsbury 's case, it is interesting because
1:08:23 > 1:08:28remember they bought Argos last year. They have had to merge all of
1:08:28 > 1:08:32those operations into their business. Sainsbury's has been keen
1:08:32 > 1:08:37to point out that it is always quite before this time of year.
1:08:37 > 1:08:48Nonetheless, a familiar picture. Sainsbury's is the UK's second
1:08:48 > 1:08:53largest. It has nearly 16% of the market. We know there has been a lot
1:08:53 > 1:09:05of job cut and cost cut. They have changed the shift patterns including
1:09:05 > 1:09:10not working overnight to save some money. I will ask the boss what he
1:09:10 > 1:09:14is doing next. He has indicated he wants to save even more money so I
1:09:14 > 1:09:18will ask him how that is going to happen.
1:09:18 > 1:09:21US President Donald Trump has urged the Chinese leader Xi Jinping
1:09:21 > 1:09:24to "work very hard" on persuading North Korea to give up
1:09:24 > 1:09:25its nuclear weapons.
1:09:25 > 1:09:27The two leaders held more talks this morning,
1:09:27 > 1:09:30on the second day of Mr Trump's visit to China.
1:09:30 > 1:09:31Our Beijing correspondent, Stephen McDonnell has
1:09:31 > 1:09:32been following events.
1:09:32 > 1:09:35Stephen, the two men had lots of praise for each other -
1:09:35 > 1:09:46how much co-operation will there be going forward do you think?
1:09:46 > 1:09:52What did they say?They basically just came out and made a couple of
1:09:52 > 1:09:56statements. The two most powerful people on the planet were heaping
1:09:56 > 1:10:01praise on one another. We had Donald Trump saying that Xi Jinping's
1:10:01 > 1:10:05people were proud of him. His critics would say how Donald Trump
1:10:05 > 1:10:11is able to establish that is unclear. He also said that China, if
1:10:11 > 1:10:17it really wanted to, could quickly and easily solve the North Korean
1:10:17 > 1:10:21nuclear problem. There were some audible gasps to be heard earlier
1:10:21 > 1:10:26Ron went Donald Trump said I don't blame China for the trade imbalance
1:10:26 > 1:10:37between the two countries. He blames the former American administrations.
1:10:37 > 1:10:41As for Xi Jinping, he has been pointing to the trade deals that
1:10:41 > 1:10:45have been signed. Apparently $250 billion worth, between the two
1:10:45 > 1:10:50countries, to coincide with his visit. Some of those are in more of
1:10:50 > 1:10:54the memorandum of understanding category and not solid contracts
1:10:54 > 1:10:58with delivery dates and the like. And yet he is saying that the two
1:10:58 > 1:11:02leaders are going to the able to steer the world through the rough
1:11:02 > 1:11:08seas ahead and we should all feel much better about that.
1:11:08 > 1:11:14Reports from Hollywood says Kevin Spacey is to be edited out of a new
1:11:14 > 1:11:19film six weeks before it is to be released. Kevin Spacey who is in the
1:11:19 > 1:11:26thriller All the Money in the World will be replaced by Christopher
1:11:26 > 1:11:26Plummer.
1:11:26 > 1:11:29An extended ban on a group of controversial pesticides will be
1:11:29 > 1:11:31supported "in principle" by the UK government,
1:11:31 > 1:11:33according to the environment secretary Michael Gove.
1:11:33 > 1:11:35Environmentalists have been campaigning for tighter controls
1:11:35 > 1:11:38over the use of neo-nicotinoids which they say are harming bees
1:11:38 > 1:11:38and other pollinators.
1:11:38 > 1:11:41The government has previously resisted EU restrictions but Mr Gove
1:11:41 > 1:11:50says he recogises the mounting body of evidence against the chemicals.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53Can the former President of the United States be called up
1:11:53 > 1:11:54for jury service?
1:11:54 > 1:11:55Yes, he can!
1:11:55 > 1:11:57Barack Obama arrived for duty at a Chicago courthouse
1:11:57 > 1:12:00yesterday, and joined other prospective jurors waiting to see
1:12:00 > 1:12:02if they would be chosen to serve.
1:12:02 > 1:12:05While he took the time to shake a few hands and sign some
1:12:05 > 1:12:07autographs, the former Commander-In-Chief wasn't required
1:12:07 > 1:12:08and was dismissed.
1:12:08 > 1:12:11If he'd been selected, he would have been paid the princely
1:12:11 > 1:12:16sum of 13 pounds a day.
1:12:16 > 1:12:18Those are the main stories this morning.
1:12:18 > 1:12:21For the second time in a week, Theresa May has a vacancy
1:12:21 > 1:12:22in her Cabinet.
1:12:22 > 1:12:24Last night, Priti Patel, the International Development
1:12:24 > 1:12:26Minister, resigned after growing pressure over unauthorised
1:12:26 > 1:12:27meetings in Israel.
1:12:27 > 1:12:29Her departure follows the resignation of the former
1:12:29 > 1:12:30Defence Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon,
1:12:30 > 1:12:36over his personal conduct.
1:12:36 > 1:12:40So what next for the Prime Minsiter, and what do these latest events say
1:12:40 > 1:12:42about the health of the government?
1:12:42 > 1:12:44We're joined by the former Conservative Party leader,
1:12:44 > 1:12:47Iain Duncan Smith.
1:12:47 > 1:12:54Thank you for your time this morning. Two Cabinet ministers gone
1:12:54 > 1:13:00in a day. This is a cabinet in chaos?No, not really. When Michael
1:13:00 > 1:13:07Fallon went, there was a fast all around Parliament. There was
1:13:07 > 1:13:09investigations into people's behaviour across all parties. In it
1:13:09 > 1:13:13put that into context and that is what that was all about. Dirt Priti
1:13:13 > 1:13:20Patel issue is different. -- the pretty Patel issue. -- Priti Patel
1:13:20 > 1:13:25issue. The Prime Minister realise she didn't have the full facts when
1:13:25 > 1:13:30she is first spoke to her and Priti Patel realised her behaviour was
1:13:30 > 1:13:34unacceptable and came back and resigned and that is exactly what
1:13:34 > 1:13:39should have happened. She put out a letter sent she is deeply sorry for
1:13:39 > 1:13:43any damage she may have caused. She said she will be the strong
1:13:43 > 1:13:46supporter of the Prime Minister going forward. The Prime Minister is
1:13:46 > 1:13:51faced with a choice to make now this morning which she needs to work out
1:13:51 > 1:13:59who to replace Priti Patel with.You say this is a normal problem. It
1:13:59 > 1:14:03seems like two out of two Cabinet ministers don't know how to judge
1:14:03 > 1:14:07their own behaviour.But keep this in context. Michael Fallon resigned
1:14:07 > 1:14:13in the midst of what was rocking every single party. An abuse of
1:14:13 > 1:14:19power. You see resignations, departures, sadly you have seen a
1:14:19 > 1:14:23death in Wales as a result of this. All of that is what he resigned
1:14:23 > 1:14:26about. It was about things that happened many years ago. It wasn't
1:14:26 > 1:14:31to do with Theresa May's Cabinet or any issues around that. Quite the
1:14:31 > 1:14:36opposite. Let's not get this as though it is aligning to separate
1:14:36 > 1:14:42issues together. This issue is about, and it happens time and
1:14:42 > 1:14:47again, somebody gets it wrong and has to go because they made a set of
1:14:47 > 1:14:53errors which are themselves in breach of the ministerial code. Also
1:14:53 > 1:14:58in the way they conduct themselves in a cabinet which has collective
1:14:58 > 1:15:02responsibilities. Theresa May's focus is on taking that forward.
1:15:02 > 1:15:09Another point worth remembering, this is a government with one of the
1:15:09 > 1:15:14highest votes of most governments coming in, a minority government. It
1:15:14 > 1:15:18doesn't have a working majority. You are going to see lots of turns and
1:15:18 > 1:15:22lots of changes in the course of that but that is the nature of what
1:15:22 > 1:15:27the British public voted for.
1:15:27 > 1:15:33Why would you see a lot of changes in Cabinet when you are a minority
1:15:33 > 1:15:36government?They don't have the power to drive changes through. So
1:15:36 > 1:15:39you will see people essentially making changes to policy. All that
1:15:39 > 1:15:42sort of stuff is natural in a government which is, as I say,
1:15:42 > 1:15:47reliant on other people's votes to get its business through. That is
1:15:47 > 1:15:51what the people voted for. They did not vote for a clear majority of the
1:15:51 > 1:15:53Conservative government, and the Conservative government got the
1:15:53 > 1:15:57highest number of votes so the idea they will be this incredible smack
1:15:57 > 1:16:01of strong process will not be the case. That is the nature of where we
1:16:01 > 1:16:05are. But the Prime Minister is in full charge of this Cabinet and I
1:16:05 > 1:16:09have no doubt the appointment today will reflect that and the government
1:16:09 > 1:16:12will get on with its business.The Daily Telegraph just one of the
1:16:12 > 1:16:16papers saying the government is in crisis and dysfunctional. Your
1:16:16 > 1:16:20reaction?I don't agree with it at all, I'm afraid. Every Cabinet
1:16:20 > 1:16:24minister knows what they have to do and the reality is that what you saw
1:16:24 > 1:16:28in the last couple of days is that, if a Cabinet minister transgressors
1:16:28 > 1:16:32and doesn't get it right and breaches the code, then they like
1:16:32 > 1:16:40any other person in work or business would have to go. Theresa May made
1:16:40 > 1:16:46perfectly clear to Priti Patel that there were questions you need to
1:16:46 > 1:16:51answer, and Priti Patel realised the only course available to her was to
1:16:51 > 1:16:54resign because she had brought the Cabinet into question by her
1:16:54 > 1:16:58behaviour. So that is the right thing to have done and I think
1:16:58 > 1:17:03Theresa May now can get on and make sure she gets the balance right in
1:17:03 > 1:17:08her Cabinet.And who will the replacement be? Much has been made
1:17:08 > 1:17:12of Priti Patel being pro- Brexit and a balance needed in Cabinet. Will
1:17:12 > 1:17:16that sway the decision regarding her replacement?Well, the number one
1:17:16 > 1:17:20thing the prime Minister has to do, of course, is find the person most
1:17:20 > 1:17:24able to do the job. We always tend to lose sight of this. In any walk
1:17:24 > 1:17:28of life you have to choose the right person for the right post. That will
1:17:28 > 1:17:32be her first consideration but I think instinctively she will want to
1:17:32 > 1:17:35make sure that the balance of Cabinet as it stands at the moment
1:17:35 > 1:17:39remains much the same. This is not a Cabinet reshuffle. The difference
1:17:39 > 1:17:42between this and a Cabinet reshuffle is in a Cabinet reshuffle you can
1:17:42 > 1:17:46change the balance, you can change where you want to put your emphasis
1:17:46 > 1:17:50on priorities by who you put in the post. This one is someone went and
1:17:50 > 1:17:54someone has to go into the post. To that extent, my instinct is she will
1:17:54 > 1:17:58not really change the balance of that, otherwise that would
1:17:58 > 1:18:01necessitate a fuller reshuffle, and that is not plan, as I understand
1:18:01 > 1:18:06that, at the moment.You say that is not her instinct. You spoken to
1:18:06 > 1:18:12Theresa May about this?I haven't, and I would consider it slightly
1:18:12 > 1:18:16impertinent to call her and say here is my advice. She knows what she has
1:18:16 > 1:18:21to do. My is a replacement, rather like last time round when Michael
1:18:21 > 1:18:25Fallon, as you referred to earlier on, had to go, she looked at someone
1:18:25 > 1:18:30who would not upset the balance at all, and she put him in the post and
1:18:30 > 1:18:34that is my instinct is to wear this will go sometime today. If not
1:18:34 > 1:18:41tomorrow, I don't know.Iain Duncan Smith, thank you for joining us on
1:18:41 > 1:18:41BBC Breakfast.
1:18:41 > 1:18:44Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
1:18:44 > 1:18:47Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
1:18:47 > 1:18:51Good morning. This morning across parts of the south-east of England
1:18:51 > 1:18:55it is a cold start. It is also pretty chilly in the north of the
1:18:55 > 1:18:59country, but in between there is a lot of clout. Some patchy light rain
1:18:59 > 1:19:02and drizzle and that will give way through the day to some sunshine.
1:19:02 > 1:19:06The sunshine arriving in the far south of England much later in the
1:19:06 > 1:19:09afternoon. What is happening is the cloud and rain and drizzle produced
1:19:09 > 1:19:14by this weather front. Behind that we see colder conditions coming our
1:19:14 > 1:19:17way. Equally there will be some sunshine as well. First thing this
1:19:17 > 1:19:22morning we got the figure cloud and some rain and drizzle in the
1:19:22 > 1:19:25south-east. Temperatures before that arrives around about freezing to
1:19:25 > 1:19:29about three Celsius, that is where they are at the moment but they will
1:19:29 > 1:19:33go up as the cloud comes in. A bit of cloud across Wales, into the
1:19:33 > 1:19:36Midlands, parts of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire with some light rain and
1:19:36 > 1:19:39drizzle but for the rest of northern England, Northern Ireland and
1:19:39 > 1:19:43Scotland it is a dry and bright start, barring the showers across
1:19:43 > 1:19:48the north and west of Scotland. And here as well the showers will be
1:19:48 > 1:19:51blustery in nature. As our weather front unused to trundle down towards
1:19:51 > 1:19:54the south-east, you can see how the brighter skies and sunny spells
1:19:54 > 1:19:58coming right behind it and it is not until late afternoon and evening we
1:19:58 > 1:20:02see that in the far south-east. For south-west England, south Wales, for
1:20:02 > 1:20:07example, in any sunshine we could hit 13 or 14 Celsius. That is better
1:20:07 > 1:20:11than we would expect at this stage in November. Through the evening and
1:20:11 > 1:20:14overnight, a lot of clear skies to start the night. Weather fronts
1:20:14 > 1:20:18coming in from the west will introduce the cloud and rain heading
1:20:18 > 1:20:21in an easterly and southerly direction. Behind that, where it
1:20:21 > 1:20:25clears up we will have some frost, particularly across Scotland, and a
1:20:25 > 1:20:30plethora of showers blowing in in the wind in the north and west of
1:20:30 > 1:20:33Scotland. Tomorrow some of those will be wintry, but it will just be
1:20:33 > 1:20:37on the hills and you can see how our weather front sinks down to the
1:20:37 > 1:20:41south of England and clears more readily than the one today. Here as
1:20:41 > 1:20:44well it will brighten up. A scattering of showers coming in on
1:20:44 > 1:20:47the north-westerly wind. Starting to feel cooler as well. Temperatures in
1:20:47 > 1:20:52the North five to nine, in the south tend to 14. The next weather front
1:20:52 > 1:20:57waiting in the winds will be coming our way through Friday and towards
1:20:57 > 1:21:03Saturday. Embedded in this are the remnants of ex- tropical storm Rina.
1:21:03 > 1:21:08All the tropical elements will have gone and all we will have as a band
1:21:08 > 1:21:11of cloud and rain which will clear early on Saturday, Armistice Day,
1:21:11 > 1:21:16leaving most of us with a dry day, some sunny spells and a few showers.
1:21:16 > 1:21:19It will be feeling much colder, as it will on Remembrance Sunday.
1:21:19 > 1:21:23They're that in mind if you are standing outside. A lot of dry
1:21:23 > 1:21:27weather, a fair bit of sunshine as well. Temperatures of six to seven
1:21:27 > 1:21:33and eight in the north. Ten to 12 further south. As we head on into
1:21:33 > 1:21:37Tuesday, we start to import Atlantic fronts, which are not quite as
1:21:37 > 1:21:38colder direction for us.
1:21:38 > 1:21:40fronts, which are not quite as colder direction for us.Thank you
1:21:40 > 1:21:43very much, see you later on.
1:21:43 > 1:21:46Tomorrow is the deadline for people who have applied for the personal
1:21:46 > 1:21:48independence payment to submit details of their experience
1:21:48 > 1:21:49to a group of MPs.
1:21:49 > 1:21:52The Work and Pensions Committee is looking into the scheme,
1:21:52 > 1:21:55which was introduced in 2013 to help people with the extra costs
1:21:55 > 1:21:57associated with long-term illness or disability.
1:21:57 > 1:21:59PIPs have been controversial since their creation,
1:21:59 > 1:22:02and disability rights campaigners claim some people are being denied
1:22:02 > 1:22:03the payments they need.
1:22:03 > 1:22:05Breakfast's Tim Muffett has been speaking to one woman
1:22:05 > 1:22:07about her experience of the system.
1:22:07 > 1:22:14HEART MONITOR BEEPS.
1:22:14 > 1:22:16PIPs aren't just a familiar sound to Daisy.
1:22:16 > 1:22:18She is reliant upon them - personal independence payments.
1:22:18 > 1:22:21They keep her financially afloat because her disability means
1:22:21 > 1:22:28she is at home, unable to work.
1:22:28 > 1:22:36So I have lupus, and I also have another syndrome,
1:22:36 > 1:22:38so a lot of heart problems.
1:22:38 > 1:22:40I dislocate a lot, mobility is pretty appalling,
1:22:40 > 1:22:41as is everything else.
1:22:41 > 1:22:44And how important are the personal independence payments which you get?
1:22:44 > 1:22:45They're essential.
1:22:45 > 1:22:51It's the only way I could afford to be disabled.
1:22:51 > 1:22:55But, at first, Daisy was refused benefits.
1:22:55 > 1:23:00PIP was introduced in 2013.
1:23:00 > 1:23:04The idea is to ensure that benefits go to those with the greatest need.
1:23:04 > 1:23:06The big change is the use of face-to-face assessments
1:23:06 > 1:23:10to decide who gets the money.
1:23:10 > 1:23:13Assessors make a judgement as to how well a claimant can carry out
1:23:13 > 1:23:16everyday tasks, such as dressing, cooking, and moving about,
1:23:16 > 1:23:18and these assessments are carried out by private companies.
1:23:18 > 1:23:22Daisy, what was your experience?
1:23:22 > 1:23:25It was pretty dehumanising - whether I could lift my knees up,
1:23:25 > 1:23:28how far I could lift my arms.
1:23:28 > 1:23:30And it was done by a paramedic.
1:23:30 > 1:23:36He would have had no professional knowledge of my condition,
1:23:36 > 1:23:38or much understanding clinically of a disability
1:23:38 > 1:23:39or fluctuating chronic illness.
1:23:39 > 1:23:41"Took off and put on her jumper."
1:23:41 > 1:23:46"Average build, casually dressed, did not appear to be trembling."
1:23:46 > 1:23:49So you think these criteria were used to decide that you don't
1:23:49 > 1:23:51qualify for these payments?
1:23:51 > 1:23:52Yes.
1:23:52 > 1:23:55At best, they're irrelevant.
1:23:55 > 1:23:59At worst, they're a cynical justification for trying
1:23:59 > 1:24:07to deny needed money.
1:24:07 > 1:24:10Daisy appealed and a judge agreed, overturning the original decision.
1:24:10 > 1:24:12According to the Department of Work and Pensions,
1:24:12 > 1:24:15since PIP was introduced, more than 2.4 million decisions
1:24:15 > 1:24:22was made, and of these, 8% were appealed, 4% overturned.
1:24:22 > 1:24:27The department says that in most cases that happened after people
1:24:27 > 1:24:30submitted more oral or written evidence, but the latest figures
1:24:30 > 1:24:33from the Ministry of Justice show that for three months this year, the
1:24:33 > 1:24:38successful appeal rate was 65%, so more than half of appeals are
1:24:38 > 1:24:43resulting in decisions being overturned. Despite this, some
1:24:43 > 1:24:47believe change was overdue.We need to find a balance between those who
1:24:47 > 1:24:50need to have the right amount of money to get that sort of
1:24:50 > 1:24:54independence they need, and also the taxpayers who are paying for this.
1:24:54 > 1:24:57There are certain areas that have gone very well, and that is always
1:24:57 > 1:25:00to be expected, unfortunately, when government embarks on these enormous
1:25:00 > 1:25:08things.The Department of Work and Pensions stressed that... Tomorrow
1:25:08 > 1:25:11is the deadline for submitting evidence to the House of Commons
1:25:11 > 1:25:15Work and Pensions committee, who are investigating the issue. Daisy has
1:25:15 > 1:25:17already made her views clear.
1:25:17 > 1:25:19Still to come on Breakfast: As scientists find that wounds
1:25:19 > 1:25:23sustained during the day heal much more quickly than those suffered
1:25:23 > 1:25:26at night, we will find out how our internal body clock affects
1:25:26 > 1:25:34every aspect of our lives, from sleeping to healing.
1:25:34 > 1:28:55Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:28:55 > 1:28:57in half an hour.
1:28:57 > 1:28:59Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
1:28:59 > 1:29:01Now, though, it is back to Charlie and Naga.
1:29:01 > 1:29:05Bye for now.
1:29:05 > 1:29:08Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga
1:29:08 > 1:29:08Munchetty.
1:29:08 > 1:29:14Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.
1:29:14 > 1:29:16The Prime Minister will announce her new International Development
1:29:16 > 1:29:19Secretary this morning as she tries to restore stability
1:29:19 > 1:29:22to the Government after the second resignation from her Cabinet
1:29:22 > 1:29:22in a week.
1:29:22 > 1:29:25Priti Patel stepped down last night after more questions
1:29:25 > 1:29:28were raised about meetings she held during a personal trip to Israel.
1:29:28 > 1:29:31Theresa May is facing calls to replace her with someone
1:29:31 > 1:29:33who backs Brexit to maintain the delicate political balance
1:29:33 > 1:29:35of the cabinet.
1:29:35 > 1:29:37British officials will travel to Brussels for further
1:29:37 > 1:29:38Brexit talks today.
1:29:38 > 1:29:42It's the first set of negotiations since EU leaders agreed to begin
1:29:42 > 1:29:44preparing for discussions about the future relationship with
1:29:44 > 1:29:44Britain.
1:29:44 > 1:29:46The Brexit secretary, David Davis and the EU's chief
1:29:46 > 1:29:49negotiator Michel Barnier will join the talks tomorrow,
1:29:49 > 1:29:51which are likely to centre around the UK's financial obligations
1:29:51 > 1:29:58and the rights of British people living in the EU.
1:29:58 > 1:30:01The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, is to issue
1:30:01 > 1:30:04a statement today amid criticism of the way he handled misconduct
1:30:04 > 1:30:07allegations against a Welsh Cabinet member, who is believed to have
1:30:07 > 1:30:08taken his own life.
1:30:08 > 1:30:10The family of Carl Sargeant - who'd been accused
1:30:10 > 1:30:13of inappropriate touching - says he was denied natural justice
1:30:13 > 1:30:16because he wasn't given details of the allegations which led
1:30:16 > 1:30:20to his sacking.
1:30:20 > 1:30:23Reports from Hollywood say Kevin Spacey is to be edited out
1:30:23 > 1:30:26of a new film six weeks before its release -
1:30:26 > 1:30:28following the recent allegations of sexual assault.
1:30:28 > 1:30:32Spacey, who plays Jean Paul Getty in the thriller,
1:30:32 > 1:30:35"All The Money In The World", will be replaced by
1:30:35 > 1:30:40the Oscar-winning Canadian actor, Christopher Plummer.
1:30:40 > 1:30:43Police forces in England and Wales are struggling to meet demand,
1:30:43 > 1:30:47due to a surge in the number of calls from members of the public.
1:30:47 > 1:30:50A survey by the policing watchdog says the service is under
1:30:50 > 1:30:51"significant stress" because of budget cuts,
1:30:51 > 1:30:56although it says forces could help by making further efficiencies.
1:30:56 > 1:30:59Earlier on Breakfast Matthew Scott from the Association of Police
1:30:59 > 1:31:01and Crime Commissioners told us that lack of funds
1:31:01 > 1:31:04was an issue for policing.
1:31:04 > 1:31:11In terms of making sure we are prioritising emergencies, they look
1:31:11 > 1:31:15at that threat, the risk and the harm to the individual involved and
1:31:15 > 1:31:19make an assessment as to what they need to be prioritising. But as you
1:31:19 > 1:31:22pointed out, it's getting harder and harder to do with fewer police
1:31:22 > 1:31:26officers which is why as lease and crime commission is, we have put in
1:31:26 > 1:31:29a bid to the government for extra funding which will increase the
1:31:29 > 1:31:32number of police officers, increase the number of firearms officers and
1:31:32 > 1:31:34Thomas so we can do that.
1:31:34 > 1:31:37US President Donald Trump has urged Chinese leader Xi Jinping to "work
1:31:37 > 1:31:40very hard" on persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.
1:31:40 > 1:31:43Discussions on how to deal with North Korea's threats
1:31:43 > 1:31:45to the region have dominated the agenda during Mr Trump's
1:31:45 > 1:31:46tour of Asia.
1:31:46 > 1:31:49This morning he warned that "time is quickly running out" to deal
1:31:49 > 1:32:00with the North Korean nuclear threat.
1:32:00 > 1:32:03An extended ban on a group of controversial pesticides will be
1:32:03 > 1:32:05supported "in principle" by the UK government,
1:32:05 > 1:32:06according to the environment secretary Michael Gove.
1:32:06 > 1:32:08Environmentalists have been campaigning for tighter controls
1:32:08 > 1:32:11over the use of neo-nicotinoids which they say are harming bees
1:32:11 > 1:32:12and other pollinators.
1:32:12 > 1:32:15The government has previously resisted EU restrictions but Mr Gove
1:32:15 > 1:32:23says he recogises the mounting body of evidence against the chemicals.
1:32:23 > 1:32:26Now what's the first thing you'd do if your numbers came up
1:32:26 > 1:32:27on the lottery?
1:32:27 > 1:32:28Hand your notice in?
1:32:28 > 1:32:31That's exactly what six hospital kitchen workers South Wales
1:32:31 > 1:32:33have done after scooping 25 million on the Euromillions.
1:32:33 > 1:32:35The women have been playing as a work syndicate
1:32:35 > 1:32:37for the past six years.
1:32:37 > 1:32:43They're currently planning a dream holiday together to Las Vegas.
1:32:51 > 1:32:54Coming up on the programme, Carol will have your weather forecast.
1:32:54 > 1:33:00That's in about ten minutes' time.
1:33:00 > 1:33:07That picture behind us, it doesn't look like Australia. You can't feel
1:33:07 > 1:33:23the heat.You can tell a country from its cricket pitch?We need some
1:33:23 > 1:33:31beautiful Sydney sunshine. The sun is shining on England. A good
1:33:31 > 1:33:34partnership. We will show you in a moment. It is a crucial match. A
1:33:34 > 1:33:45must win. It is a points system. England must get something out of
1:33:45 > 1:33:52it.And we are doing OK?Yes. Good morning and a good day so far.
1:33:52 > 1:33:56Although they have lost that three wickets in the final session of the
1:33:56 > 1:34:01day. Warren Wingfield was the first to fall early on. Look at this for a
1:34:01 > 1:34:06catch. That was the first dismissal for England. Since that point, they
1:34:06 > 1:34:13have moved on well. Tammy Bowman and the captain Heather Knight have both
1:34:13 > 1:34:18scored half centuries in the last few centuries. -- in the last few
1:34:18 > 1:34:24minutes. Do you remember this moment?
1:34:24 > 1:34:26Norman Whiteside scoring for Northern Ireland at the
1:34:26 > 1:34:271986 World Cup.
1:34:27 > 1:34:30Well the current crop of players will attempt to take the nation
1:34:30 > 1:34:33to a first World Cup in 32 years, with victory over Switzerland
1:34:33 > 1:34:37in their play off, the first leg of which is tonight at Windsor
1:34:37 > 1:34:42Park.
1:34:42 > 1:34:46The players have done fantastically so far to get to this point.
1:34:46 > 1:34:50At the end of the day, there's eight countries left
1:34:50 > 1:34:53in Europe and we're the smallest one going into this situation.
1:34:53 > 1:34:59I see in the squad an opportunity that they don't want to waste
1:34:59 > 1:35:03but equally, they have done everything so far and anticipated
1:35:03 > 1:35:06they will do everything over the next two games to try
1:35:06 > 1:35:09and make it a reality.
1:35:09 > 1:35:12We'll bring you a great goal from the women's Champions League
1:35:12 > 1:35:16and Chelsea ladies in a moment, but before we do their forward
1:35:16 > 1:35:18Eni Aluko, has said she's 'disappointed and surprised'
1:35:18 > 1:35:22her national teammates haven't backed her more following the racist
1:35:22 > 1:35:25remarks made to her by the former women's manager Mark Sampson.
1:35:25 > 1:35:27The FA have since apologised.
1:35:27 > 1:35:30It's been very divisive and very adversarial and I think the players
1:35:30 > 1:35:32have been dragged into that.
1:35:32 > 1:35:34But the players have their own mind and
1:35:34 > 1:35:38they should be able to say, actually, let me step back from this
1:35:38 > 1:35:43and see how this may benefit.
1:35:43 > 1:35:46If I have a problem, ie if they have a problem,
1:35:46 > 1:35:52they have a process that is going to protect them.
1:35:52 > 1:35:56Aluko was on the bench last night as her club side Chelsea took a huge
1:35:56 > 1:35:58step towards the Champions League quarter finals.
1:35:58 > 1:36:01They won the first leg of their last sixteen match 3-0
1:36:01 > 1:36:02against Swedish side Rosengard.
1:36:02 > 1:36:05This superb effort from England forward Fran Kirby put the Blues
1:36:05 > 1:36:10on their way.
1:36:10 > 1:36:13David Moyes says he's on 'a mission' and has something to prove
1:36:13 > 1:36:16in his new job at West Ham United.
1:36:16 > 1:36:18Moyes faced the media for the first time since replacing
1:36:18 > 1:36:21Slaven Bilic and says he wants to restore his reputation
1:36:21 > 1:36:24after being relegated with Sunderland last season.
1:36:24 > 1:36:25Do you know something?
1:36:25 > 1:36:27I do have a point to prove, yeah?
1:36:27 > 1:36:34I do.
1:36:34 > 1:36:38I think I've got, I think maybe I have to do that and show it
1:36:38 > 1:36:42and sometimes you have two repair things and maybe I've got a little
1:36:42 > 1:36:43bit to repair.
1:36:43 > 1:36:46Lewis Hamilton says he won't let the controversy over his tax affairs

1:36:49 > 1:36:50of this season.
1:36:50 > 1:36:52Hamiltonof course wrapped up his fourth F1 title last weekend
1:36:52 > 1:36:55and is one of the high-profile figures whose tax situation came
1:36:55 > 1:36:58under scrutiny in the 'Paradise Papers'.
1:36:58 > 1:37:01I've just come from this great period of time with my family
1:37:01 > 1:37:05and friends and I have this huge wave of positive energy and nothing
1:37:05 > 1:37:06can really dent that.
1:37:06 > 1:37:08Yeah, I'm just solely focused on trying to win this
1:37:08 > 1:37:09race this weekend.
1:37:09 > 1:37:11I still have two races to go.
1:37:11 > 1:37:14Don't really have anything to add to the whole
1:37:14 > 1:37:27scenario that's happening.
1:37:27 > 1:37:32We are bringing you something out of the ordinary this morning. This is
1:37:32 > 1:37:37from Laguna Park in Redding. An attempt for the fastest speed in a
1:37:37 > 1:37:45jet engine powered suit.It's like a Bond film. Blair is that real speed?
1:37:45 > 1:37:54Yes. 32 mph. I know you would say what you would do few won the
1:37:54 > 1:38:00lottery. You would buy one of those, wouldn't you?No one would ever
1:38:00 > 1:38:06leave me in charge of a jet pack. They would never, ever do that.I
1:38:06 > 1:38:11would guarantee you, Charlie, no one would disagree with you on that.He
1:38:11 > 1:38:21landed perfectly.No grey skies in Sydney. Andy Swiss, the lucky man,
1:38:21 > 1:38:31enjoying the Sydney sunshine. And he has company. The crucial test match.
1:38:31 > 1:38:38A great start for England on the opening day.
1:38:38 > 1:38:49A decent start. They lost a couple of wickets though. 148 - three.
1:38:49 > 1:38:58England won the choice -- the toss. Just about. Lauren Wingfield out for
1:38:58 > 1:39:02just four. A brilliant catch. At that stage, the Australian bowlers
1:39:02 > 1:39:07were on top and then a century stand from Captain Heather Knight and
1:39:07 > 1:39:13Tammy Beaumont. They both reached their centuries. Heather Knight went
1:39:13 > 1:39:22for 62 and Tammy Beaumont out for 70. The floodlights have just come
1:39:22 > 1:39:29on. This is a historic night. The first-ever Day- night test in test
1:39:29 > 1:39:38cricket and also women's cricket. They are 148-3.We want to put it in
1:39:38 > 1:39:43a bit of context. The women's Ashes series is run on a points -based
1:39:43 > 1:39:47system which is different to the men's test which we have coming up.
1:39:47 > 1:39:52It is keenly poised because England are trailing 4-2 and it is important
1:39:52 > 1:39:55they win this test match because a lot of points are available, aren't
1:39:55 > 1:40:01they?That's right. Just briefly explain the format. Seven matches in
1:40:01 > 1:40:07total. 31-day games and then a 1-off test match and then 32020 games.
1:40:07 > 1:40:18Australia won three and a lead 4-2. -- and then three T20 matches. The
1:40:18 > 1:40:22pressure is on. They are the world champions. They won the World Cup in
1:40:22 > 1:40:27the summer and that should give them huge experience in the hope they can
1:40:27 > 1:40:32turn that around. They will have to rebuilt after the loss of those
1:40:32 > 1:40:39couple of quick wickets. As I said. They have made it decent start.Andy
1:40:39 > 1:40:46Swiss, live in Sydney, take you very much. Andy putting it into context
1:40:46 > 1:40:51which shows how important this test matches.It's always funny when
1:40:51 > 1:40:59there is someone in the way.It would be a live cross without it.It
1:40:59 > 1:41:05could be about your circadian rhythms. Stick around to hear about
1:41:05 > 1:41:08it.
1:41:08 > 1:41:10Scientists in Cambridge have discovered that wounds sustained
1:41:10 > 1:41:13during the day heal much quicker than those sustained at night.
1:41:13 > 1:41:16They found a 60% difference in the time it took patients
1:41:16 > 1:41:20to recover, and they think it's all down to the human body clock.
1:41:20 > 1:41:22The study's author, John O'Neill is here,
1:41:22 > 1:41:28along with the circadian rhythms expert, Andrew Loudon.
1:41:28 > 1:41:30Could you explain... Research found that someone who sustained wound
1:41:30 > 1:41:35during the day compared to someone who sustained a wind during the
1:41:35 > 1:41:42night, the wind sustained during the day was healed quicker.It took
1:41:42 > 1:41:50fewer days for those wounds and these are burns wounds suffered by
1:41:50 > 1:41:56NHS patients across the country and the burns wounds took on average 17
1:41:56 > 1:41:59days to heal compared to those that were sustained during the night
1:41:59 > 1:42:05which took on average 28 days to heal.What is the crucial difference
1:42:05 > 1:42:09between what happens during the day that is so different to what happens
1:42:09 > 1:42:15at night?Your body clock is at a different type of day. You will be
1:42:15 > 1:42:19aware of your body clock. It makes you feel sleepy at night and gets
1:42:19 > 1:42:24confused when you have jet lag. What many people are not aware of is
1:42:24 > 1:42:27there is a biological clock inside every cell of the body. That is
1:42:27 > 1:42:31equally true of your skin cells. I could take a scraping of your skin
1:42:31 > 1:42:36cells and I would ask you first of course... And grow them in a Petrie
1:42:36 > 1:42:40dish in a lab and we would still observe and approximately 24-hour
1:42:40 > 1:42:46rhythm in which various dialogical processors are active competitive in
1:42:46 > 1:42:53inactive. Ash biological. We were intrigued to see that lots of
1:42:53 > 1:42:57processors associated with cell movement were changing over the
1:42:57 > 1:43:0224-hour cycle. That led to a prediction that if you wound those
1:43:02 > 1:43:09cells in a dish or in skin slices, we would predict the skin cells will
1:43:09 > 1:43:15move faster to repair the wind when that happens during the active phase
1:43:15 > 1:43:18compared to when it happened strength in active phase. That's
1:43:18 > 1:43:25what we observe. We saw the same was true in mice. Of course, mice are
1:43:25 > 1:43:29nocturnal. The whole thing is flipped in mice. They heal faster at
1:43:29 > 1:43:33night convicted sharing the day. That is what has led us to get in
1:43:33 > 1:43:39touch with colleagues in the NHS and say it, do you have any records we
1:43:39 > 1:43:45could use to test this idea and we were very fortunate that colleagues
1:43:45 > 1:43:51of Andrew's in Manchester had access to this database of burns patients
1:43:51 > 1:43:56and what the NHS began to do in 2012 was record not only the time of day
1:43:56 > 1:44:01the injuries were incurred but the number of days until healing and
1:44:01 > 1:44:09succeeded. -- healing has succeeded. Some of the layman might not be
1:44:09 > 1:44:12aware of the idea about your body is doing different insert different
1:44:12 > 1:44:18times.A thinker John's work is a wonderful example of the growing
1:44:18 > 1:44:22awareness we have, the extraordinary extent to which the body clock
1:44:22 > 1:44:28system drives a sickly pretty well everything in our biology and it not
1:44:28 > 1:44:33only controls our behaviour but also it controls many aspects of our
1:44:33 > 1:44:41normal biology. The ability to deal with food and metabolise food and
1:44:41 > 1:44:49all of the consequences of the light, dark circle. It is profound.
1:44:49 > 1:44:54Even if we know that, you don't control when you get an injury.
1:44:54 > 1:44:59There is a limit to what you can do with it. We can know it may be does
1:44:59 > 1:45:03heal better at a certain time of day but you can't control that.That is
1:45:03 > 1:45:07perfectly true but there are some wonderful steps forwards we can now
1:45:07 > 1:45:13do as a result of John's work. We can identify the mechanism and then
1:45:13 > 1:45:19using drugs and other things, we can probably adopt new techniques...
1:45:19 > 1:45:26Somehow replicate that so the body is almost tricked into it?
1:45:26 > 1:45:33Absolutely and the prime candidates are steroid hormones. Labs have
1:45:33 > 1:45:41shown they regulate a biological clock.
1:45:41 > 1:45:44Circadian rhythms, I mean, that is what this comes down to, your
1:45:44 > 1:45:49internal body clock. Why are some people better at getting up early?
1:45:49 > 1:45:57Larks and Owls. This is a natural distribution you see in the
1:45:57 > 1:45:59population, and it changes between individuals because of our different
1:45:59 > 1:46:03genetic make-up. We know some of those genes but it also changes as
1:46:03 > 1:46:09we age. And so young people before they hit adolescence naturally tend
1:46:09 > 1:46:13to wake up earlier. They are early rises or Larks. And as you get
1:46:13 > 1:46:17older, into your teenage years and early 20s, naturally you tend to
1:46:17 > 1:46:21wake up later. It is not that teenagers are being lazy. They
1:46:21 > 1:46:26naturally have a programmed later relationship with the cycle of day
1:46:26 > 1:46:30and night. As we grow older again we get earlier and earlier.At adults
1:46:30 > 1:46:35are different. I understand teenagers need less asleep. They are
1:46:35 > 1:46:39growing, they are physically changing. But I can talk to half of
1:46:39 > 1:46:43my friends and they would say I could never get up at the time you
1:46:43 > 1:46:47get up and if they do they are a wreck for the day. Others are
1:46:47 > 1:46:51absolutely fine.One thing which is emerging now is there appears to be
1:46:51 > 1:46:55extraordinary variation in human populations, and some people just
1:46:55 > 1:46:58have a naturally early set clock and others have a naturally late set
1:46:58 > 1:47:04clock. Research by colleagues on the clock fields such as John and myself
1:47:04 > 1:47:08are starting to unravel some of the genetic mechanisms behind that and
1:47:08 > 1:47:11there have been some fabulous studies in the last few years which
1:47:11 > 1:47:15give us some insight into the ways in which Alan genetic make-up
1:47:15 > 1:47:21controls our natural timing with respect to dawn and dusk. -- our
1:47:21 > 1:47:29natural genetic make-up. It may turn out that? -- that you two up
1:47:29 > 1:47:37genetically predisposed to it.All we drink a lot of coffee. Thank you
1:47:37 > 1:47:42for taking us through the science of that.
1:47:42 > 1:47:44for taking us through the science of that.I wonder what Carol's
1:47:44 > 1:47:49circadian rhythms are like. Do you find it easier to get up at
1:47:49 > 1:47:54ridiculous o'clock, when we do?I am a night owl rather than an
1:47:54 > 1:47:58earlybird, so I am in completely the wrong job and have been for the last
1:47:58 > 1:48:0520 years, actually. But a Mac you are perfect for it, trust me. Bless
1:48:05 > 1:48:12you, Naga. It is not as cold as it was yesterday. Manchester, the
1:48:12 > 1:48:16current temperature 12 Celsius. This time yesterday it was minus one. So
1:48:16 > 1:48:21a 13 degrees hike in temperature. As we come south under clear skies it
1:48:21 > 1:48:25is nippy as you step out. Weather fronts thinking southwards will take
1:48:25 > 1:48:29some cloud across and it won't feel as cold as we go through the rest of
1:48:29 > 1:48:33the day. For many of us we will see sunny spells developing behind
1:48:33 > 1:48:36weather front, which is continuing its dissent down in the southern
1:48:36 > 1:48:41counties. Behind it, the Sun comes out, and a pleasant day for most
1:48:41 > 1:48:46parts of the UK -- descent. This weather front sinking southwards
1:48:46 > 1:48:50with its patchy rain and drizzle. Quite a few showers being blown in
1:48:50 > 1:48:53on a blustery wind and you can see how the sunshine follows that
1:48:53 > 1:48:57weather front down in the southern counties. For the south-east it will
1:48:57 > 1:49:00be later on in the afternoon and into the early part of the evening
1:49:00 > 1:49:04when we see the back edge of that cloud clear. This afternoon at 3pm
1:49:04 > 1:49:08this is what we expect. A bit of cloud across the south, brightening
1:49:08 > 1:49:12up across parts of Norfolk, through the Midlands, for example, some of
1:49:12 > 1:49:15the Home Counties and across northern England. A fair bit of
1:49:15 > 1:49:20sunshine for you, but it will feel quite cool. For Scotland, a fair bit
1:49:20 > 1:49:24of sunshine around. A peppering of showers under that blustery wind in
1:49:24 > 1:49:28the north and west and for Northern Ireland find a head for you, again
1:49:28 > 1:49:33with some lengthy sunny spells. Lengthy sunny spells following on
1:49:33 > 1:49:36behind the weather front in Wales. In south Wales and parts of
1:49:36 > 1:49:40south-west England, in any sunshine we could hit 13 or 14 Celsius. That
1:49:40 > 1:49:44is above average for this stage in November. Through the evening and
1:49:44 > 1:49:47overnight we start with clear skies but wet and windy weather coming in
1:49:47 > 1:49:51from the north-west. It will sink south eastwards as we go through the
1:49:51 > 1:49:56course of the night, leaving behind clearer skies. That means Scotland
1:49:56 > 1:49:59is looking at a widespread frost and a plethora of showers coming in on
1:49:59 > 1:50:03the wind. Some of those will be wintry in the hills, not just
1:50:03 > 1:50:06overnight into tomorrow. Tomorrow, a weather front clears the south of
1:50:06 > 1:50:10England more readily than the one today, and began the sun comes out
1:50:10 > 1:50:15behind it. It will start to feel that it colder, and you can see out
1:50:15 > 1:50:18towards the west the first signs of our next weather front coming our
1:50:18 > 1:50:25way. Here it is here, and embedded in this are the remnants of ex-
1:50:25 > 1:50:29tropical storm Rina. Lost its tropical qualities by then, it will
1:50:29 > 1:50:32just be a set of weather front sinking southwards, and bringing
1:50:32 > 1:50:38rain as it does so. For Armistice Day, some showers in between
1:50:38 > 1:50:46brighter skies. On Sunday, a fair bit of shower tween Saturday -- a
1:50:46 > 1:50:50fair few showers between Saturday and Sunday, and much colder than it
1:50:50 > 1:50:55has been.
1:50:55 > 1:51:00Sainsbury's has just reported their figures.
1:51:00 > 1:51:06Number two in the market, losing a bit of market share to stores like
1:51:06 > 1:51:12Aldi and Lidl. It is an indicator of what we are spending money on and
1:51:12 > 1:51:14how much we have at
1:51:14 > 1:51:15what we are spending money on and how much we have at the rest of the
1:51:15 > 1:51:18week. We have just heard from Sainsbury's that profits are down by
1:51:18 > 1:51:229% for the first half of the year. They have come in at £251 million.
1:51:22 > 1:51:26All of that despite a 1.6% rise in sales.
1:51:26 > 1:51:30We can talk to Mike Coupe, chief executive of Sainsbury's.
1:51:30 > 1:51:35Very good morning to you.Good morning.Let's start with these
1:51:35 > 1:51:39figures, because profits down 9%. A similar picture to what we heard
1:51:39 > 1:51:43yesterday from Marks & Spencer. It is a tough market out there right
1:51:43 > 1:51:47now and there is a big fight going on between all of the big retailers.
1:51:47 > 1:51:51It is a tough market, but our numbers have eaten the consensus
1:51:51 > 1:51:54market forecasts out there, and we have good momentum in our business
1:51:54 > 1:51:58and we are serving more customers than ever. But as you say, the
1:51:58 > 1:52:01nature of our customers' shopping habits are changing, and that is
1:52:01 > 1:52:05reflected in our numbers as well. Good growth in our consumer
1:52:05 > 1:52:10business, up 8%, in our online growth grocery business, and without
1:52:10 > 1:52:15acquisition of Argos, we have a service called FastTrack, which
1:52:15 > 1:52:20brings goods to our customers within 24 hours.I wanted to talk about
1:52:20 > 1:52:24that Argos issue. You bought it last year and have been trying to
1:52:24 > 1:52:27integrate it into the Sainsbury's business, putting some of those
1:52:27 > 1:52:30Argos stores in the Sainsbury's stores. At that has cost you a lot
1:52:30 > 1:52:35of money, and now your profits are down 9%.Argos makes a loss in its
1:52:35 > 1:52:39first half and usually does, it makes most of its money in the
1:52:39 > 1:52:43Christmas period, so a critical trading period now. As you say, we
1:52:43 > 1:52:48will have 165 Argos stores in Sainsbury's stores, between now and
1:52:48 > 1:52:51Christmas, click and collect points, and if you are brave enough you can
1:52:51 > 1:52:55order your Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve at 1pm and still have
1:52:55 > 1:52:59them arrive by six p.m.. We think that is a fantastic service.The
1:52:59 > 1:53:04weaker pound which we have all been facing, and a lot of retailers are
1:53:04 > 1:53:09contending with, means it is more expensive, and you are passing those
1:53:09 > 1:53:15prices on to us as consumers. What things will get more expensive? What
1:53:15 > 1:53:19will I notice in my supermarket ask it is going to cost more?Food price
1:53:19 > 1:53:22inflation as measured by the government is around 2%, and
1:53:22 > 1:53:26inevitably, as you say, the things we import tend to be things like
1:53:26 > 1:53:29fresh foods, which get more expensive on the back of that. We
1:53:29 > 1:53:33are probably through the worst, if the truth be told, and even today
1:53:33 > 1:53:37prices are about the same as they were two years ago. We as a business
1:53:37 > 1:53:40have done a good job of protecting our customers from the more extreme
1:53:40 > 1:53:45challenges of inflation, and the currency movements.At what point do
1:53:45 > 1:53:49those imported prices, that rising price from stuff you buy abroad make
1:53:49 > 1:53:55you think we will buy more in the UK?We already source virtually
1:53:55 > 1:53:59everything we can from the UK, so our fresh meat, many of the produce
1:53:59 > 1:54:03products we sell, our dairy products, they are all sourced from
1:54:03 > 1:54:07the UK. Of course, you can't grow bananas or citrus fruits or tomatoes
1:54:07 > 1:54:12out of season in the UK, so the reality is we import a reasonable
1:54:12 > 1:54:18amount of food in the UK, and it is impossible to replace from UK
1:54:18 > 1:54:23sources.I am looking at your results and you talk about wanting
1:54:23 > 1:54:26to deliver £540 million of cost savings by the end of this year.
1:54:26 > 1:54:30That is a lot of money. You have already cut 2000 jobs in the
1:54:30 > 1:54:34business. How will you save the rest of that money?There are any number
1:54:34 > 1:54:38of initiatives, whether it is energy-saving initiatives like LED
1:54:38 > 1:54:42lighting, for example, we have invested in technology which enables
1:54:42 > 1:54:45us to run our business more efficiently, and things like
1:54:45 > 1:54:49reducing product waste in our business, that is a big issue more
1:54:49 > 1:54:53widely in our society and we have done a good job of managing our
1:54:53 > 1:54:58supply chains and reducing jobs in that area of the business. It is not
1:54:58 > 1:55:01one initiative, it is lots of individual initiatives adding up to
1:55:01 > 1:55:06a large number.Should we expect more job cuts?As I say, the nature
1:55:06 > 1:55:10of the work in our business is changing, and inevitably jobs will
1:55:10 > 1:55:14disappear but equally, new jobs are created. We employ a lot more people
1:55:14 > 1:55:18in our convenience business and our online business. The important thing
1:55:18 > 1:55:22is that we talk to our colleagues in our business before we make any
1:55:22 > 1:55:25changes.A lot of colleagues will be watching this this morning, getting
1:55:25 > 1:55:28ready to spend money for Christmas. They are working out what their
1:55:28 > 1:55:32budget will be. What commitment do you have the them that they will
1:55:32 > 1:55:36have a job in the New Year?As I say, all the changes in our business
1:55:36 > 1:55:40we are open and transparent with our colleagues on. They should be
1:55:40 > 1:55:43confident in our business and one of the benefits of working in a company
1:55:43 > 1:55:47like Sainsbury's is you get a substantial discounts on the product

1:59:39 > 1:59:40Bye for now.
2:00:03 > 2:00:06Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
2:00:06 > 2:00:09Pressure on the Prime Minister as she loses another cabinet minister -
2:00:09 > 2:00:10the second in a week.
2:00:10 > 2:00:12Priti Patel resigned last night over unauthorised meetings
2:00:12 > 2:00:13with Israeli officials - Labour says the government
2:00:13 > 2:00:23is in chaos and Theresa May is losing her authority.
2:00:33 > 2:00:35Good morning, it's Thursday the 9th November.
2:00:35 > 2:00:37Also this morning.
2:00:37 > 2:00:39The First Minister of Wales will respond to criticism
2:00:39 > 2:00:45over his handling of harassment allegations against the former
2:00:45 > 2:00:46minister Carl Sergeant, who's believed to have
2:00:46 > 2:00:48taken his own life.
2:00:48 > 2:00:51Some police control rooms are struggling to meet demand
2:00:51 > 2:00:53because of a surge in calls - the Inspector of Constabulary warns
2:00:53 > 2:00:59that budgest cuts are putting forces under "significant stress".
2:00:59 > 2:01:01Sainsbury's says profits are down 9%, despite a rise in sales.
2:01:01 > 2:01:04The boss told me that supermarkets could be forced to raise prices.
2:01:04 > 2:01:07I'll have the details.
2:01:07 > 2:01:10In sport, in Sydney right now the England Women's Captain Heather

2:01:13 > 2:01:15Test with Australia, a match which could decide
2:01:15 > 2:01:19the outcome of this years series.
2:01:19 > 2:01:23A disappointing wicket there which fell in the last few minutes.
2:01:23 > 2:01:26It's ground-breaking, or should that be water-breaking.
2:01:26 > 2:01:28Images of life under the sea are captivating
2:01:28 > 2:01:30Sunday night viewers - we'll speak some of the team
2:01:30 > 2:01:34behind Blue Planet II, and get an exclusive sneak preview
2:01:34 > 2:01:42of the latest show.
2:01:42 > 2:01:45It's the largest single building DIY SOS has ever tackled -
2:01:45 > 2:01:48Nick Knowles will be here to tell us about the team's very special
2:01:48 > 2:01:50challenge for Children in Need.
2:01:50 > 2:01:55And Carol has the weather.
2:01:55 > 2:01:59Good morning. It's a fairly cloudy start to the day for many of us with
2:01:59 > 2:02:03patchy light rain and drizzle, but brighter skies in the north of the
2:02:03 > 2:02:07country spreading south through the course of the day. Not getting into
2:02:07 > 2:02:10the far south-east of England until late in the afternoon, early
2:02:10 > 2:02:14evening.
2:02:14 > 2:02:15Good morning, first, our main story.
2:02:15 > 2:02:18The Prime Minister will announce her new International Development
2:02:18 > 2:02:20Secretary this morning as she tries to restore stability
2:02:20 > 2:02:22to the Government after the second resignation from her Cabinet
2:02:22 > 2:02:23in a week.
2:02:23 > 2:02:26Priti Patel stepped down last night after more questions were raised
2:02:26 > 2:02:28about meetings she held during a personal trip to Israel.
2:02:28 > 2:02:31Theresa May is facing calls to replace her with someone
2:02:31 > 2:02:32who backs Brexit to maintain the delicate political
2:02:32 > 2:02:33balance of the cabinet.
2:02:33 > 2:02:37Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth has more.
2:02:37 > 2:02:41Arriving in London, Priti Patel could have guessed her fate.
2:02:41 > 2:02:44She had been summoned back from Kenya by Number 10, an official
2:02:44 > 2:02:47trip to Africa cut short.
2:02:47 > 2:02:51She entered Downing Street by the back door and left
2:02:51 > 2:02:53having lost her job, resigning after failing to disclose
2:02:53 > 2:03:00details of unauthorised meetings with Israeli politicians.
2:03:00 > 2:03:04In her letter to the Prime Minister, she said: "I accept my actions fell
2:03:04 > 2:03:06below the high standards that are expected of a
2:03:06 > 2:03:07Secretary of State."
2:03:07 > 2:03:10For the second time in just over a week, Theresa May must now decide
2:03:10 > 2:03:14how to fill a gap around the top table.
2:03:14 > 2:03:16Michael Fallon quit as defence secretary last week over
2:03:16 > 2:03:18his personal conduct.
2:03:18 > 2:03:20This team was carefully chosen to represent different
2:03:20 > 2:03:22Tory views over Brexit, and some are keen
2:03:22 > 2:03:28that is maintained.
2:03:28 > 2:03:30There is a divide between people who want Brexit to mean
2:03:30 > 2:03:34we are basically staying within the EU.
2:03:34 > 2:03:37They are essentially the Remainers who are unchanged.
2:03:37 > 2:03:41And they give a veneer of acceptance but haven't truly accepted.
2:03:41 > 2:03:45There are quite a lot of people who were quite balanced
2:03:45 > 2:03:48when they made the decision as to which side to support,
2:03:48 > 2:03:50who are now really rather enthusiastic about Brexit
2:03:50 > 2:03:54and want to get on with it properly.
2:03:54 > 2:03:56Whatever the Prime Minister's decision about who should
2:03:56 > 2:03:58now sit in her Cabinet, she will face intense
2:03:58 > 2:04:02scrutiny over her choice.
2:04:02 > 2:04:04Let's speak to our political correspondent, Leila Nathoo,
2:04:04 > 2:04:10who's in Westminster for us this morning.
2:04:10 > 2:04:15We spoke to Iain Duncan Smith earlier, he seemed to play down the
2:04:15 > 2:04:19so-called chaotic cabinet that many newspapers are alluding to but
2:04:19 > 2:04:23Theresa May still under extreme scrutiny.I think there is no doubt
2:04:23 > 2:04:27this is extremely tricky political territory of the Theresa May. This
2:04:27 > 2:04:31is her second cabinet resignation in a week, and she is facing the
2:04:31 > 2:04:35prospect of another reshuffle. Her choice of Defence Secretary last
2:04:35 > 2:04:39week to replace Sir Michael Fallon didn't go down well on the Tory
2:04:39 > 2:04:43backbenchers. The promotion of a chief ally. She has a difficult
2:04:43 > 2:04:48choice to replace Priti Patel as International Development Secretary.
2:04:48 > 2:04:53Reshuffles are difficult at the best of times, let alone when a
2:04:53 > 2:04:57government is so fragile as Theresa May's is. I do think she'll be
2:04:57 > 2:05:04tempted to carry out fireworks today in terms of a major reshuffle.
2:05:04 > 2:05:07Certainly the departure of Priti Patel leaves a hole in the Cabinet
2:05:07 > 2:05:15in terms of a big Leave supporting figure. The expectation is Theresa
2:05:15 > 2:05:21May will replace her with another Leave backing minister to keep that
2:05:21 > 2:05:26delicate balance. Remember the latest round of Brexit talks begins
2:05:26 > 2:05:30again today. That is always in the backdrop for this administration.
2:05:30 > 2:05:34This whole episode is underlining how fragile her government is.Thank
2:05:34 > 2:05:37you.
2:05:37 > 2:05:39The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, is to issue
2:05:39 > 2:05:41a statement today amid criticism of the way he handled
2:05:41 > 2:05:43misconduct allegations against a Welsh cabinet member,
2:05:43 > 2:05:45who is believed to have taken his own life.
2:05:45 > 2:05:48The family of Carl Sargeant - who'd been accused of
2:05:48 > 2:05:50inappropriate touching - says he was denied natural justice
2:05:50 > 2:05:52because he wasn't given details of the allegations which led
2:05:52 > 2:05:58to his sacking.
2:05:58 > 2:06:00Our reporter Thomos Morgan is at the Welsh Assembly
2:06:00 > 2:06:05for us this morning.
2:06:05 > 2:06:11We had those comments from Carl Sargeant's family and this is the
2:06:11 > 2:06:18first opportunity for the First Minister to respond.Yes, this is
2:06:18 > 2:06:20undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges Carwyn Jones has had to
2:06:20 > 2:06:25face as the First Minister of Wales during his eight-year tenure as
2:06:25 > 2:06:31First Minister. He has faced criticism from within his own party
2:06:31 > 2:06:36over the handling of the process. He has faced calls from politicians
2:06:36 > 2:06:42from other parties in Wales to resign, and last night a former key
2:06:42 > 2:06:45ally of his, a former assembly member and a former member of his
2:06:45 > 2:06:52Cabinet Leighton Andrews had more pressure on him, saying he was angry
2:06:52 > 2:06:57at the way that Mr Sargent had been treated during this affair and said
2:06:57 > 2:07:05he didn't agree that due process had been followed. If Carwyn Jones had
2:07:05 > 2:07:09made TV interviews the day before Carl Sargeant's death. Carwyn Jones
2:07:09 > 2:07:13will come here to discuss the events with Labour assembly members and
2:07:13 > 2:07:19also issue a statement.Thank you.
2:07:19 > 2:07:22Police forces in England and Wales are struggling to meet demand,
2:07:22 > 2:07:25due to a surge in the number of calls from members of the public.
2:07:25 > 2:07:28A survey by the policing watchdog says the service is under
2:07:28 > 2:07:29"significant stress" because of budget cuts,
2:07:29 > 2:07:32although it says forces could help by making further efficiencies.
2:07:32 > 2:07:34US President Donald Trump has urged the Chinese leader Xi Jinping
2:07:34 > 2:07:37to "work very hard" on persuading North Korea to give up
2:07:37 > 2:07:38its nuclear weapons.
2:07:38 > 2:07:40The two leaders held more talks this morning,
2:07:40 > 2:07:42on the second day of Mr Trump's visit to China.
2:07:42 > 2:07:44Our Beijing correspondent, Stephen McDonnell has
2:07:44 > 2:07:46been following events.
2:07:46 > 2:07:49Stephen, the two men had lots of praise for each other,
2:07:49 > 2:07:56how much co-operation will there be going forward do you think?
2:07:56 > 2:08:03The thing is, will this translate into a positive political outcome?
2:08:03 > 2:08:07Well, this actually is the big question. Gushing praise from both
2:08:07 > 2:08:13of these leaders for each other, especially Donald Trump. He said of
2:08:13 > 2:08:18Xi Jinping your people are really proud of you. China have asked the
2:08:18 > 2:08:21US president how are you able to establish whether the Chinese people
2:08:21 > 2:08:25are proud of their leader? Xi Jinping was talking about the
2:08:25 > 2:08:30dawning of a new era of relations between these two great powers.
2:08:30 > 2:08:33There is disagreement over North Korea. For example Donald Trump said
2:08:33 > 2:08:38that China, if it really wanted to, could quickly and easily fix the
2:08:38 > 2:08:44North Korean problem. And trade, it was quite interesting. He said today
2:08:44 > 2:08:50in front of a group of business people from China and the US that he
2:08:50 > 2:08:56didn't blame China for the trade imbalance between the two countries.
2:08:56 > 2:09:00Very different to the fire and brimstone Donald Trump when he was
2:09:00 > 2:09:05trying to become president of the US. When he said this there was a
2:09:05 > 2:09:09bit of a Gazprom the audience. Both leaders are saying they are going to
2:09:09 > 2:09:14be able to move forward and trade and that this is going to be good
2:09:14 > 2:09:21for the whole world -- there was a bit of a grasp from the audience.
2:09:21 > 2:09:24Reports from Hollywood say Kevin Spacey is to be edited out
2:09:24 > 2:09:26of a new film six weeks before its release -
2:09:26 > 2:09:28following the recent allegations of sexual assault.
2:09:28 > 2:09:30Spacey, who plays Jean Paul Getty in the thriller,
2:09:30 > 2:09:32"All The Money In The World", will be replaced by
2:09:32 > 2:09:34the Oscar-winning Canadian actor, Christopher Plummer.
2:09:34 > 2:09:37An extended ban on a group of controversial pesticides will be
2:09:37 > 2:09:39supported "in principle" by the UK Government, according to the
2:09:39 > 2:09:45Environment Secretary Michael Gove.
2:09:45 > 2:09:53Environmentalists have been campaigning for tighter controls
2:09:53 > 2:09:55over the use of neo-nicotinoids which they say are harming bees
2:09:55 > 2:09:57and other pollinators.
2:09:57 > 2:09:59The government has previously resisted EU restrictions but Mr Gove
2:09:59 > 2:10:09says he recogises the mounting body of evidence against the chemicals.
2:10:11 > 2:10:14It's that lottery question. What is the first thing you would do if your
2:10:14 > 2:10:18numbers came up on the lottery? A lot of people say they would quit
2:10:18 > 2:10:23work. That's what six hospital kitchen workers in South Wales have
2:10:23 > 2:10:28done after scooping £25 million on the euro millions. They've been
2:10:28 > 2:10:32playing as a syndicate for the last six years. Now they are staying
2:10:32 > 2:10:36together and planning a dream holiday to Vegas. That's going to be
2:10:36 > 2:10:44a big trip! Thank you for getting in touch telling us what you do. Dave
2:10:44 > 2:10:49says he would go and buy a beer. He's going to go to a local brewery
2:10:49 > 2:10:57and commissioned them to make a new beer and he's going to call it "Dave
2:10:57 > 2:11:04won the Lottery beer". Another view was that he would hugger flight
2:11:04 > 2:11:10Australia, travel to Melbourne, Queensland, Sydney and then visit
2:11:10 > 2:11:17aquariums -- he would book a flight. You'd think family and friends would
2:11:17 > 2:11:20benefit the most but not if you're Stephen. The cat gets the cream.
2:11:20 > 2:11:24He's going to get the best champagne that money could buy and live every
2:11:24 > 2:11:28day like it was his last, and he'll have people waiting hand and foot
2:11:28 > 2:11:35and his beautiful cat. We'll get the weather from Carol shortly but first
2:11:35 > 2:11:41let's return to Alamein story. -- our main story.
2:11:41 > 2:11:44The Prime Minister is under pressure as she considers who'll replace
2:11:44 > 2:11:45Priti Patel within the cabinet.
2:11:45 > 2:11:47The former International Development Secretary quit yesterday,
2:11:47 > 2:11:49after news emerged of unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials.
2:11:49 > 2:11:51Some political commentators say Theresa May will be looking
2:11:51 > 2:11:54to maintain the fine balance within her top team between those
2:11:54 > 2:11:56that support Brexit and those who don't.
2:11:56 > 2:11:58But how important, and how achievable is this?
2:11:58 > 2:12:00Joining us now is Kate McCann - senior political correspondent
2:12:00 > 2:12:03at the Telegraph.
2:12:03 > 2:12:06Thank you for your time this morning. I'm just looking at your
2:12:06 > 2:12:14front page.I'm having a slight problem with my earpiece but it's
2:12:14 > 2:12:18fine.I'm looking at the front page of the Daily Telegraph. Another day,
2:12:18 > 2:12:25another crisis it says. What makes this a crisis as opposed to a member
2:12:25 > 2:12:30of your cabinet making a mistake? It's the second time in a week
2:12:30 > 2:12:33Theresa May has lost one of the most senior members of her government.
2:12:33 > 2:12:39Couple that with the fact Brexit talks start again today in Brussels.
2:12:39 > 2:12:43You've got what looks like from the outside complete chaos. I was
2:12:43 > 2:12:46talking to some of my colleagues who worked here in Parliament for 10-20
2:12:46 > 2:12:50years and they've never seen anything like it. Yesterday Theresa
2:12:50 > 2:12:55May allowed Priti Patel to resign but in effect she was sacked over
2:12:55 > 2:12:58her trip to Israel and the nondisclosure of meetings. In the
2:12:58 > 2:13:02end she didn't disclose all of the meetings when the Prime Minister
2:13:02 > 2:13:08asked her to do so and that's what led to her resignation. Theresa May
2:13:08 > 2:13:12has got to appoint somebody to replace her but seven days ago when
2:13:12 > 2:13:16she tried to replace Michael Fallon, she chose Gavin Williamson and that
2:13:16 > 2:13:20didn't go down well at all with Conservative backbenchers. They've
2:13:20 > 2:13:25already got their shots in early. Jacob Rees-Mogg saying it should be
2:13:25 > 2:13:28a Brexit supporting Minister, Theresa May needs to choose probably
2:13:28 > 2:13:33another woman to replace Priti Patel otherwise she'll get into questions
2:13:33 > 2:13:38over the balance of female and male ministers in her Cabinet. She's got
2:13:38 > 2:13:42a lot of questions to answer and it's really not what she wanted.
2:13:42 > 2:13:46Some of what you're talking about is the stuff political journalists love
2:13:46 > 2:13:50to talk about. The intricacies. The bigger picture in a way it is about
2:13:50 > 2:13:53what people are thinking when they look at this government. They look
2:13:53 > 2:13:59at Theresa May and I'm not sure what difference that makes. All the wise
2:13:59 > 2:14:04heads I know say nothing is going to change anyway. She's going to carry
2:14:04 > 2:14:08on as Prime Minister, we are in the position we are in.She probably
2:14:08 > 2:14:13will carry on as Prime Minister, not least because nobody who wants to
2:14:13 > 2:14:16challenge and there are many Conservative ministers and MPs who
2:14:16 > 2:14:20would like a shot at the top job, none of them want to take that on
2:14:20 > 2:14:24until the Brexit talks concluded in 2019 because it's such a poisoned
2:14:24 > 2:14:28chalice. We're probably unlikely to see a change Prime Minister but that
2:14:28 > 2:14:32doesn't mean it doesn't feel like chaos in Downing Street. Theresa
2:14:32 > 2:14:36May's pitch to the country originally was that she would be a
2:14:36 > 2:14:47strong and stable leader, the opposite of what Jeremy Corbyn was
2:14:47 > 2:14:49going to be. The Labour we were expecting chaos, financial markets
2:14:49 > 2:14:52plummeting, and we are seeing Theresa May in Downing Street not
2:14:52 > 2:14:55doing much better than what she said Jeremy Corbyn would do. It is what
2:14:55 > 2:14:57political journalists like to gossip about and a lot of this stuff does
2:14:57 > 2:14:59go on behind-the-scenes. How may people really cared whether Priti
2:14:59 > 2:15:03Patel resigned was sacked, but it contributes to this idea that the
2:15:03 > 2:15:07government isn't strong and stable at all, it is chaotic. If you think
2:15:07 > 2:15:11about what's going on in the world at the moment, that's a really bad
2:15:11 > 2:15:14thing for this country. We are trying to put ourselves into a
2:15:14 > 2:15:18position with Europe where we are credible, strong and a country to be
2:15:18 > 2:15:21reckoned with, A force to be reckoned with, because we are about
2:15:21 > 2:15:25to leave the European Union. If Theresa May wants to secure a good
2:15:25 > 2:15:29deal, she needs to portray and she needs to go about her business with
2:15:29 > 2:15:32the idea that she's not going to be around for only another year and a
2:15:32 > 2:15:36half. The front page of The Times today says there are suggestions in
2:15:36 > 2:15:40Brussels that there might even be contingency planning for if she
2:15:40 > 2:15:43doesn't continue as Prime Minister and that is really not where she
2:15:43 > 2:15:49needs to be right now.A moment ago you said a change Prime Minister is
2:15:49 > 2:15:53the least likely option but is there a three strikes and you're out thing
2:15:53 > 2:16:00in relation to Cabinet ministers? If there something else that emerges,
2:16:00 > 2:16:04could that change things?I think it's unlikely. You're right, there
2:16:04 > 2:16:09are lots of issues behind-the-scenes in Westminster. Sexual harassment
2:16:09 > 2:16:14scandal we haven't even touched on. Some of Theresa May's most senior
2:16:14 > 2:16:17ministers are implicated. Damian Green still has questions to answer.
2:16:17 > 2:16:21In ordinary times that would be a real problem for a Prime Minister.
2:16:21 > 2:16:25Going back to what I said earlier, you have to remember the backdrop.
2:16:25 > 2:16:29This is the context of the EU negotiations, we are also talking
2:16:29 > 2:16:34about a cabinet which is relatively new in itself. David Cameron didn't
2:16:34 > 2:16:37leave very long ago. There isn't a particularly organised effort to
2:16:37 > 2:16:41replace Theresa May. Even if she does see another resignation it is
2:16:41 > 2:16:46unlikely she would be forced to leave as Prime Minister, because the
2:16:46 > 2:16:48complications behind-the-scenes with the Conservative Party are huge.
2:16:48 > 2:16:54That's not to say people like Priti Patel won't be planning for the next
2:16:54 > 2:16:58stage of the party leadership on the backbenches. That is already going
2:16:58 > 2:17:00on at the moment. Will we see another Prime Minister in the next
2:17:00 > 2:17:06couple of weeks or months, I think probably not.Thank you, I
2:17:06 > 2:17:09appreciate your efforts with your earpiece. You get the award for the
2:17:09 > 2:17:16most capable on air live person holding their earpiece in!
2:17:16 > 2:17:23That's an interesting award! I just made that up. I have probably given
2:17:23 > 2:17:26it to Carol in the past, that particular award.
2:17:26 > 2:17:33LAUGHTER Bless you, Charlie!
2:17:33 > 2:17:34LAUGHTER Bless you, Charlie!
2:17:34 > 2:17:38This morning is not quite as cold as it was yesterday for many parts of
2:17:38 > 2:17:41the UK but of course there are exceptions. A lot of cloud around
2:17:41 > 2:17:47first thing and also some patchy light rain as well. Britos guys in
2:17:47 > 2:17:52the north of the country which will follow behind this front through the
2:17:52 > 2:17:57course of the day, sunny spells to develop. Behind this front, cooler
2:17:57 > 2:18:00conditions from the North but in the South where we have cloud it will
2:18:00 > 2:18:04not feel is cold. This is the front heading down towards the south-east.
2:18:04 > 2:18:09The son following hot on its heels with one or two showers but a real
2:18:09 > 2:18:14rush of showers across the north and west on a blustery wind. Into the
2:18:14 > 2:18:19afternoon, still cloud in southern areas, the rain tending to fizzle.
2:18:19 > 2:18:23Across Hampshire and into the Isle of Wight, heading towards Kent,
2:18:23 > 2:18:26Essex and parts of East Anglia and the main lens. Writing up in Norfolk
2:18:26 > 2:18:30and the North Midlands and northern England, seeing a fair bit of
2:18:30 > 2:18:34sunshine and just light breezes. For Scotland, a fair bit of sunshine as
2:18:34 > 2:18:38well but still quite blustery across the North with those showers in the
2:18:38 > 2:18:43north and north-west and in Northern Ireland, a fine day, and again a lot
2:18:43 > 2:18:47of sunshine around. As we have across Wales. Behind the weather
2:18:47 > 2:18:58front it will brighten up and in South Wales and parts of South West
2:18:58 > 2:19:00England, in any sunshine we could see temperatures around about 13 or
2:19:00 > 2:19:0314 Celsius, higher than they should be at this time in November. Then we
2:19:03 > 2:19:05will see the clear skies replaced through the night with rain and
2:19:05 > 2:19:09thicker cloud from the West, also quite windy. As that happens, clear
2:19:09 > 2:19:15skies behind that band, so widespread frost across Scotland.
2:19:15 > 2:19:19Again, a lot of showers coming in, wintry not just by night but by day
2:19:19 > 2:19:24tomorrow. Quite a blustery day, the weather front continuing its descent
2:19:24 > 2:19:28southwards into the Channel Islands. Clearing southern areas more readily
2:19:28 > 2:19:31than the front today and allowing a lot of sunshine to develop with a
2:19:31 > 2:19:37lot of showers coming in on the north-westerly wind. Feeling cool in
2:19:37 > 2:19:40the north, still hanging on the double figures in terms of
2:19:40 > 2:19:44temperatures in the south. Then you can see this next front starting to
2:19:44 > 2:19:50come our way. This is it on the pressure chart. Embedded in this we
2:19:50 > 2:19:53have the remnants of ex-tropical storm but all that will do will
2:19:53 > 2:20:01bring us some rain. Back to you, Naga and Charlie.
2:20:01 > 2:20:04bring us some rain. Back to you, Naga and Charlie.
2:20:04 > 2:20:10Thanks, Carol. A drop in profits for Sainsbury's and Ben will be bringing
2:20:10 > 2:20:13us that news...
2:20:13 > 2:20:22Good morning.
2:20:22 > 2:20:24Sainsbury's says profits fell 9% in the first
2:20:24 > 2:20:25half of this year.
2:20:25 > 2:20:28Sainsbury's is the UK's second largest supermarket but has been
2:20:28 > 2:20:30losing market share to discount rivals including Aldi and Lidl.
2:20:30 > 2:20:33Last month it announced 2000 job cuts and says more could be
2:20:33 > 2:20:35on the way as it attempts to save another £500
2:20:35 > 2:20:38million in costs.
2:20:38 > 2:20:42The boss told me on Breakfast a little earlier the food price
2:20:42 > 2:20:46inflation could be easing off it.As measured by the Government food
2:20:46 > 2:20:51price inflation is around 2%, and as you mentioned earlier, the things we
2:20:51 > 2:20:54import, fresh foods, they get a little more expensive on the back of
2:20:54 > 2:20:58that, but if the truth be told we are probably through the worst, and
2:20:58 > 2:21:02actually today prices are about the same as they were two years ago, so
2:21:02 > 2:21:13as a business we have done a very good our customers from the more
2:21:13 > 2:21:15extreme challenges of inflation and currency movements.Lots of other
2:21:15 > 2:21:26results to update you on this morning, including these.
2:21:29 > 2:21:31Regional airline Flybe says its profits came
2:21:31 > 2:21:33in following a loss of £20 million earlier this
2:21:33 > 2:21:35year after previous expansion plans proved too ambitious.
2:21:35 > 2:21:37Flybe said it would cut the number of aircraft
2:21:37 > 2:21:39because of slowing consumer demand.
2:21:39 > 2:21:41Profits at car and bike store Halfords have been hit
2:21:41 > 2:21:42by the weak pound again.
2:21:42 > 2:21:49Has reported pre-tax profits down almost 10%.
2:21:49 > 2:21:51And the lastest study of the property market says
2:21:51 > 2:21:54prices could be stagnating because of a slowdown in demand.
2:21:54 > 2:21:58The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors study -
2:21:58 > 2:22:04which is seen as an advance indicator of what could happen
2:22:04 > 2:22:07next in the market - contrasts with studies
2:22:07 > 2:22:10from the Nationwide and Halifax which still show prices rising.
2:22:10 > 2:22:13It is all a bit complicated but they say you should look at the picture
2:22:13 > 2:22:19of all those studies taken together, not just one. More from me later.
2:22:19 > 2:22:22How is your ornithology, your bird-watching and bird hearing
2:22:22 > 2:22:29skills? Terrible. Do you know any bird sounds, other than an owl? I
2:22:29 > 2:22:33could probably do a spiral or a bluetit, maybe. And you could
2:22:33 > 2:22:43distinguish between them? -- a sparrow or a bluetit. You're not
2:22:43 > 2:22:50going to ask me? Well, anyway, we can play you are bittern... Oh, it
2:22:50 > 2:22:54was supposed to be a quiz but I have just given it away, but this is what
2:22:54 > 2:23:01it sounds like.
2:23:01 > 2:23:10LOW SOUND
2:23:10 > 2:23:12LOW RUMBLING SOUND
2:23:12 > 2:23:14If you hadn't guessed it, that's the booming call
2:23:14 > 2:23:16of the bittern.
2:23:16 > 2:23:21It sounds a bit muffled. Let's hear it. It sounds a bit like you,
2:23:21 > 2:23:27walking around in the morning, mumbling, it is you! It was once as
2:23:27 > 2:23:31very rare sound in the British countryside.
2:23:31 > 2:23:33It was once a very rare sound in the British
2:23:33 > 2:23:35countryside.
2:23:35 > 2:23:38It's hoped we'll be hearing a lot more of it very soon.
2:23:38 > 2:23:40The bittern was almost driven to extinction in the UK,
2:23:40 > 2:23:43but a new survey shows there are growing numbers
2:23:43 > 2:23:45of the bird after intensive efforts to bring it back.
2:23:45 > 2:23:48We're joined now by Tom Clare from the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
2:23:48 > 2:23:51Good morning, Tom. Tell us about this bird. Can we get a picture up?
2:23:51 > 2:23:57Theatres, behind us. Can you tell us about this bird? It was effectively
2:23:57 > 2:24:03extinct, is that right?Yes, it was extinct from the UK in the late
2:24:03 > 2:24:081800s, then we slowly started getting, around 1900s, getting the
2:24:08 > 2:24:14birds coming back and colonising in the UK.Why were they coming back?
2:24:14 > 2:24:19What really happened, when the birds went extinct, they were losing
2:24:19 > 2:24:28habitat. Bitterns really breed and nest in these fantastic reed beds,
2:24:28 > 2:24:34and back in those days there were large amounts of them, but as soon
2:24:34 > 2:24:37as we started thatching and using roof material, they were losing
2:24:37 > 2:24:43their habitat, and they were funded back then as well. For food, a bit
2:24:43 > 2:24:50of a banquet meal.How big are they? Yes, about that size. Quite tall,
2:24:50 > 2:24:57like a heron, about that size, and they tend to stand upright and
2:24:57 > 2:25:01straight in the reed beds, camouflaged, is difficult to see.
2:25:01 > 2:25:07How many do we have now? Are you able to count?The real numbers we
2:25:07 > 2:25:14know about, 168 or so booming males, so the noise you heard a minute ago
2:25:14 > 2:25:24was the call of the, so if you are in a -- the call of the rmales. So
2:25:24 > 2:25:30if you are in a reed bed, you know that call is trying to call for the
2:25:30 > 2:25:40female...What is the female sound like?The female doesn't make any
2:25:40 > 2:25:45noise.It is the largest bird noise, birdsong?It can travel for miles.
2:25:45 > 2:25:51On a nice day if you are walking through these fantastic reed bed
2:25:51 > 2:25:55wetland areas, you can hear it.You normally associate birds with a
2:25:55 > 2:26:00sharper zone.Yes, very deep call, sounds like blowing over a milk
2:26:00 > 2:26:05bottle or something like that -- you normally associate birds with a
2:26:05 > 2:26:09sharper tone.If the bittern is doing well has that damaged any
2:26:09 > 2:26:17other breed at all?No, if the bittern is doing well it means that
2:26:17 > 2:26:22the reed bed is in good condition, and the reed bed as a habitat, they
2:26:22 > 2:26:25have really fragmented across the UK in recent times, so they are in
2:26:25 > 2:26:29small pockets, and this is another problem for bitterns, they have to
2:26:29 > 2:26:37try to find a sizeable reed bed, so now our efforts are focusing more on
2:26:37 > 2:26:39reed bed improvement, habitats, creating bigger ones, and that is
2:26:39 > 2:26:46really paying off with species such as the bittern.Very nice. I find
2:26:46 > 2:26:51that rather calming, that sound. Can we hear it again? Quick one, can we
2:26:51 > 2:27:00hear it? No. It's gone, flown away. Oh, there it is. Saying goodbye. We
2:27:00 > 2:27:03will leave you with that, well you get the news, travel and weather
2:27:03 > 2:30:20where you are.
2:30:20 > 2:30:22Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
2:30:22 > 2:30:24Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga.
2:30:24 > 2:30:27Bye for now.
2:30:31 > 2:30:36Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
2:30:36 > 2:30:40The main stories this morning, the Prime Minister will announce her new
2:30:40 > 2:30:40The main stories this morning, the Prime Minister will announce her new
2:30:40 > 2:30:42International Development Secretary later today as she tries to restore
2:30:42 > 2:30:46stability to the Government after the second resignation from her
2:30:46 > 2:30:50cabinet in just a week.
2:30:50 > 2:30:53Priti Patel stepped down last night after more questions were raised
2:30:53 > 2:30:55about meetings she held during a personal trip to Israel.
2:30:55 > 2:30:58Theresa May is facing calls to replace her with someone
2:30:58 > 2:31:00who backs Brexit to maintain the political balance
2:31:00 > 2:31:02of the Cabinet.
2:31:02 > 2:31:04Earlier, former Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith said
2:31:04 > 2:31:06Priti Patel had done the right thing by resigning.
2:31:06 > 2:31:08Theresa May made it very clear to Priti Patel
2:31:08 > 2:31:11that there were questions to be answered she hadn't fully clarified,
2:31:11 > 2:31:13and Priti Patel recognised that she hadn't given her the full
2:31:13 > 2:31:18facts and decided that the only course of action for her
2:31:18 > 2:31:21was to resign, because she had therefore brought the Cabinet
2:31:21 > 2:31:23into question by her behaviour, so that is the right thing
2:31:23 > 2:31:25to have done.
2:31:25 > 2:31:28I think Theresa May now can get on and make sure she gets
2:31:28 > 2:31:30the balance right in her Cabinet.
2:31:30 > 2:31:32The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, is to issue
2:31:32 > 2:31:37a statement today amid criticism of the way he handled
2:31:37 > 2:31:39misconduct allegations against a Welsh Cabinet member,
2:31:39 > 2:31:41who is believed to have taken his own life.
2:31:41 > 2:31:45The family of Carl Sargeant, who'd been accused of
2:31:45 > 2:31:47inappropriate touching, says he was denied natural justice
2:31:47 > 2:31:49because he wasn't given details of the allegations which led
2:31:49 > 2:31:52to his sacking.
2:31:52 > 2:31:55Police forces in England and Wales are struggling to meet demand,
2:31:55 > 2:31:58due to a surge in the number of calls from members of the public.
2:31:58 > 2:32:01A survey by the policing watchdog says the service is under
2:32:01 > 2:32:02"significant stress" because of budget cuts,
2:32:02 > 2:32:08although it says forces could help by making further efficiencies.
2:32:08 > 2:32:11Reports from Hollywood say Kevin Spacey is to be edited out
2:32:11 > 2:32:14of a new film six weeks before its release,
2:32:14 > 2:32:16following the recent allegations of sexual assault.
2:32:16 > 2:32:23Spacey, who plays Jean Paul Getty in the thriller
2:32:23 > 2:32:25All The Money In The World will be replaced by
2:32:25 > 2:32:28the Oscar-winning Canadian actor, Christopher Plummer.
2:32:28 > 2:32:31US President Donald Trump has urged Chinese leader Xi Jinping to "work
2:32:31 > 2:32:34very hard" on persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.
2:32:34 > 2:32:41Discussions on how to deal with North Korea's threats
2:32:41 > 2:32:43to the region have dominated the agenda during Mr
2:32:43 > 2:32:44Trump's tour of Asia.
2:32:44 > 2:32:47This morning he warned that "time is quickly running out" to deal
2:32:47 > 2:32:49with the North Korean nuclear threat.
2:32:49 > 2:32:51An extended ban on a group of controversial pesticides will be
2:32:51 > 2:32:53supported "in principle" by the UK Government, according
2:32:53 > 2:32:55to the Environment Secretary Michael Gove.
2:32:55 > 2:33:01Environmentalists have been campaigning for tighter controls
2:33:01 > 2:33:03over the use of neo-nicotinoids which they say are harming bees
2:33:03 > 2:33:04and other pollinators.
2:33:04 > 2:33:07The Government has previously resisted EU restrictions but Mr Gove
2:33:07 > 2:33:11says he recognises the mounting body of evidence against the chemicals.
2:33:11 > 2:33:14Scientists in Cambridge have revealed that wounds such as cuts
2:33:14 > 2:33:17and burns heal much more quickly if they're sustained during the day
2:33:17 > 2:33:19rather than at night.
2:33:19 > 2:33:24A team at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology found that
2:33:24 > 2:33:27a daytime injury healed 60% faster than a night time one.
2:33:27 > 2:33:35They think the difference can be explained by the human body clock.
2:33:35 > 2:33:43So, can the four -- former president of the United States be called for
2:33:43 > 2:33:46jury service? We know now that he can. Barack
2:33:46 > 2:33:49Obama joined other prospective jurors yesterday to see if he would
2:33:49 > 2:33:54be chosen to serve. While he was waiting he took time to sign hands
2:33:54 > 2:34:00and -- shake hands and sign autographs. In the NT was not
2:34:00 > 2:34:03required, he was dismissed, but if he had been chosen he would have
2:34:03 > 2:34:05been paid the equivalent of £13 day.
2:34:05 > 2:34:09That brings you up to date.
2:34:09 > 2:34:12Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9am this morning on BBC Two.
2:34:12 > 2:34:14Let's find out what's on the programme today.
2:34:14 > 2:34:18As Theresa May loses her 2nd Minister in a week, we will ask how
2:34:18 > 2:34:21and if Mrs May can get a grip. Plus a special report on how virtual
2:34:21 > 2:34:26reality can help people tackle all sorts of phobias, including a fear
2:34:26 > 2:34:30of heights.After that session, I did go out and put myself into some
2:34:30 > 2:34:35positions where you are facing heights, and I was really, really
2:34:35 > 2:34:40surprised at how differently I felt about it.Join us after Breakfast on
2:34:40 > 2:34:43BBC Two, the BBC News Channel, and online.
2:34:43 > 2:34:45And coming up here on Breakfast this morning.
2:34:45 > 2:34:55It is the biggest DIY SOS ever and Nick Knowles is here to tell us
2:34:55 > 2:34:57about a special Children In Need challenge.
2:34:57 > 2:34:59He's the nation's most-loved bear, and now Paddington's
2:34:59 > 2:35:01swapping his marmalade sandwiches for birthday cake!
2:35:01 > 2:35:03We'll hear how Peru's finest export is celebrating his 60th year,
2:35:03 > 2:35:13with a final picture book.
2:35:13 > 2:35:15And we'll meet the classically-trained sisters
2:35:15 > 2:35:23who were spotted by Mark Ronson after they uploaded their version of
2:35:23 > 2:35:26of his number one hit Uptown Funk.
2:35:26 > 2:35:29I understand they will bring their instruments in with them this
2:35:29 > 2:35:32morning. That will be good.
2:35:32 > 2:35:37I feel bad, actually, you wanted to see the lovely blue skies of Sydney,
2:35:37 > 2:35:40and we have not changed our photograph for it.
2:35:40 > 2:35:44Charlie said he did not seem like an Australian pit pitch.
2:35:44 > 2:35:48Not enough sunshine. You would not automatically think Sydney if you
2:35:48 > 2:35:50saw that. But I looked up the temperature at
2:35:50 > 2:35:55there at the moment, it is only 19 degrees, which may be why it does
2:35:55 > 2:35:59not look so Australian? And it is worth pointing out that it
2:35:59 > 2:36:09is late there at the moment because it night test so it is starting
2:36:09 > 2:36:11later, so the floodlights will be coming on.
2:36:11 > 2:36:13Paint as a picture of what is happening, why is it such a crucial
2:36:13 > 2:36:15day? The way the women's series is
2:36:15 > 2:36:17structured, it is done on a points system, they only played one Test
2:36:17 > 2:36:22match, this is the first day, England are currently trailing four
2:36:22 > 2:36:25points to two, so it is a must win for England because Australia only
2:36:25 > 2:36:29need to get a eight points to regain the Ashes, so if they win this, they
2:36:29 > 2:36:34regain the Ashes, so it is crucial, England wanted to get off to the
2:36:34 > 2:36:39best possible start, and, in fairness, they have done that today.
2:36:39 > 2:36:42They are at dinner at the moment, you don't normally get that at a
2:36:42 > 2:36:48Test match.
2:36:48 > 2:36:51Lauren Winfield the first to fall early on.
2:36:51 > 2:36:58Great catch there.
2:36:58 > 2:37:01There was a strong partnership between Tammy Beaumont alongside her
2:37:01 > 2:37:05captain, Heather Knight, they shared a century partnership, a solid
2:37:05 > 2:37:09foundation. Heather Knight the last wicket to fall. They both scored
2:37:09 > 2:37:15half centuries. Heather Knight out lbw. They have now just returned
2:37:15 > 2:37:22from dinner, the latest score 161-3.
2:37:22 > 2:37:24Now, do you remember this...?
2:37:24 > 2:37:26Norman Whiteside scoring for Northern Ireland
2:37:26 > 2:37:27at the 1986 World Cup.
2:37:27 > 2:37:29What a moment that was.
2:37:29 > 2:37:32Well, the current crop of players will attempt to take the nation
2:37:32 > 2:37:35to a first World Cup in 32 years with victory over Switzerland
2:37:35 > 2:37:39in their play-off, the first leg of which is tonight at Windsor Park.
2:37:39 > 2:37:42The players have done fantastically so far to get to this point.
2:37:42 > 2:37:45At the end of the day, there's eight countries left
2:37:45 > 2:37:50in Europe and we're the smallest one going into this situation.
2:37:50 > 2:38:00I see in the squad an opportunity that they don't want to waste
2:38:00 > 2:38:03but equally, they have done everything so far and I anticipate
2:38:03 > 2:38:06they will do everything over the next two games to try and make
2:38:06 > 2:38:07it a reality.
2:38:07 > 2:38:13We'll bring you a great goal from the women's Champions League
2:38:13 > 2:38:15and Chelsea ladies in a moment, but first their forward Eni Aluko
2:38:15 > 2:38:17has said she's 'disappointed and surprised' her national
2:38:17 > 2:38:20teammates haven't backed her more after the former women's manager
2:38:20 > 2:38:27Mark Sampson was found to have used discriminatory language towards her.
2:38:27 > 2:38:29It's been very divisive and very adversarial,
2:38:29 > 2:38:31and I think the players have been dragged into that.
2:38:31 > 2:38:38But the players have their own mind and they should be able to say,
2:38:38 > 2:38:41"Actually, let me step back from this and see
2:38:41 > 2:38:51how this may benefit...
2:38:54 > 2:38:57if I have a problem..." if they have a problem,
2:38:57 > 2:39:04they have a process that is going to protect them.
2:39:04 > 2:39:083-0 they beat the Swedish side Rosengard.
2:39:08 > 2:39:11Now, here on Breakfast we try to bring you something
2:39:11 > 2:39:13a little out of the ordinary...have a look at these pictures
2:39:13 > 2:39:17This is Laguna Park in Redding, this is a record attempt for the fastest
2:39:17 > 2:39:23speed in a jet engine powered body suit. Richard Browning here achieved
2:39:23 > 2:39:29the speed of 32 mph. That would have felt really fast!
2:39:29 > 2:39:34It looks a lot faster than 32 mph, in fairness. But it is not all plain
2:39:34 > 2:39:37sailing. Things went a little wrong. You did
2:39:37 > 2:39:42not show that before! We added it on! We were showing
2:39:42 > 2:39:45Obama, but that is when it goes a bit wrong.
2:39:45 > 2:39:52How many times did he attempted? I'm not sure, maybe three?
2:39:52 > 2:39:57DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles is with us now.
2:39:57 > 2:40:04As a news reporter, do get sent to things like this, strap this on,
2:40:04 > 2:40:11have I go across this lake! A word of caution, it is not one for
2:40:11 > 2:40:17the DIY enthusiast! Do not try that at home! Do we need to say that?
2:40:17 > 2:40:21It is the most extraordinary thing, it is like a small jet engine
2:40:21 > 2:40:25starting up on somebody, everybody stands and looks at it, and as he
2:40:25 > 2:40:30started up, everybody backs up, he is going to blow up, we will stand
2:40:30 > 2:40:36back!But he is fine, he is fine. John, thank you very much. Nick is
2:40:36 > 2:40:41here to talk to us about a special DIY SOS for Children In Need.You
2:40:41 > 2:40:45upscale everything, is that fair to say? We have made a habit now of
2:40:45 > 2:40:48million pound bills but we worked out this one is the largest single
2:40:48 > 2:40:53building that we have built so far from the ground up.And it took 11
2:40:53 > 2:41:01days?11 days, out in South Wales, and for children, young people
2:41:01 > 2:41:05coming out of the care system, it is a most extraordinary thing.It is
2:41:05 > 2:41:08amazing what you and your team get done in such a short period of time.
2:41:08 > 2:41:14Let's have a look.
2:41:14 > 2:41:18We all want our children to have a carefree childhood, growing up
2:41:18 > 2:41:21happy, protected and supported is something most of us take for
2:41:21 > 2:41:27granted. But today the number of children in care in the UK is
2:41:27 > 2:41:3190,000, and rising. With around a third of care leavers experiencing
2:41:31 > 2:41:36homelessness within the first two years of leaving, this is a problem
2:41:36 > 2:41:39of national importance. Which is why we've teamed up with Children In
2:41:39 > 2:41:44Need in Swansea to build them a lifeline here, a place offering
2:41:44 > 2:41:47support and the chance to learn the skills to get on. We've got a
2:41:47 > 2:41:53mountain to climb. In fact, it's the biggest single building we've ever
2:41:53 > 2:41:57attempted. With a community centre and studio apartments for care
2:41:57 > 2:42:01leavers, and this time we've got 11 days to do it. It is going to be
2:42:01 > 2:42:06epic. APPLAUSE.
2:42:06 > 2:42:10So, people get a sense of the scale, but maybe what they won't get from
2:42:10 > 2:42:14that is the emotion involved because you met extraordinary people along
2:42:14 > 2:42:19the way. If Emma the Lady...Emma went through the care system
2:42:19 > 2:42:24herself, and when she got herself sorted with a job, she used to go to
2:42:24 > 2:42:27the local supermarket and buy the food left over at the end of the day
2:42:27 > 2:42:30then go round from the handing it out to young people who find
2:42:30 > 2:42:35themselves homeless. It is a weird thing in this country, youngsters go
2:42:35 > 2:42:39into care, something like 80,000 young people in the care system,
2:42:39 > 2:42:42they have a top start in life because they get dealt a rough hand,
2:42:42 > 2:42:48parents separated from family for various reasons or perhaps orphaned,
2:42:48 > 2:42:51then they come out of the care system and we look at them as if
2:42:51 > 2:42:53there is something wrong with them or they are difficult kids and they
2:42:53 > 2:42:58get dropped, without the support they need. The kids with the
2:42:58 > 2:43:02toughest hand dealt to then get the toughest break when they get out as
2:43:02 > 2:43:07well. Anna is doing tremendous work so we were really happy to build
2:43:07 > 2:43:11something like this.The interesting thing about DIY SOS if you take
2:43:11 > 2:43:17stories like this and you have got people who watch but don't feel they
2:43:17 > 2:43:20are being preached to put learn about different sides of society
2:43:20 > 2:43:24without it being in a documentary format, because often people can
2:43:24 > 2:43:28turn off a documentary format about that.When I go to do the voice-over
2:43:28 > 2:43:32is about this, I never ask if it is a emotional, I ask if it is funny,
2:43:32 > 2:43:39because if not it is like an hour of Simon Bates' Our Tune! The fact is,
2:43:39 > 2:43:42we have a laugh, the people who come along are not saints, they are
2:43:42 > 2:43:47everyday people having a great day, they come and join in, they get
2:43:47 > 2:43:51something out of it themselves, at the end of the ten days, having
2:43:51 > 2:43:54worked themselves flat out, they are holding a stain, thanks for letting
2:43:54 > 2:44:01us be part of it. These people then go on and continue.What is
2:44:01 > 2:44:07happening there?Billy got his digger licence to be able to help
2:44:07 > 2:44:10out and accidentally put it in forward instead of reverse and
2:44:10 > 2:44:15basically knocked over somebody else's garage!What made me laugh
2:44:15 > 2:44:22with that is him the Pilchard.It is a word that has gone out of usage
2:44:22 > 2:44:27and I want to reintroduce it! Talking about reintroducing things,
2:44:27 > 2:44:33thinking, you used to love doing it when you were younger?-- fingering.
2:44:33 > 2:44:33Everywhere
2:44:35 > 2:44:47I take a guitar with me, I have always played, since I was in a band
2:44:47 > 2:44:59at school, it has been there all my life. I should say, I was not a very
2:44:59 > 2:45:02good singer, people are gleefully digging up stuff I did five or ten
2:45:02 > 2:45:05years ago which is rubbish but somebody wrote to me and said, I
2:45:05 > 2:45:08have heard you singing, you are not very good, you have a good voice but
2:45:08 > 2:45:12don't know how to use it, so I went and had lessons and all of a sudden
2:45:12 > 2:45:18I can actually sing and somebody heard me from Universal...Shall be
2:45:18 > 2:45:23proved that you can sing?You can show it, I don't know if that proves
2:45:23 > 2:45:32it or not! # Takes every type of people.
2:45:32 > 2:45:38# To make what life's about. # Every kind of people.
2:45:38 > 2:45:48# To make the world go round...
2:45:48 > 2:45:55Did you forget the words there?No, the string section came in. When you
2:45:55 > 2:45:59play, you throw yourself around with all the amazing mew ziss and the
2:45:59 > 2:46:02string section comes in. The first time we did that, the orbing station
2:46:02 > 2:46:07came in and I stopped playing and did forget the words because of the
2:46:07 > 2:46:11sound, it was so overwhelming -- music.You don't strike me as
2:46:11 > 2:46:15someone lacking in confidence but it's a bit nerve-racking to come out
2:46:15 > 2:46:21of what you are doing and do this? It was such a personal thing. My two
2:46:21 > 2:46:25great passions are rugby and music and years ago I got offered to go
2:46:25 > 2:46:29into sport or journalism and turned it down because I didn't want my
2:46:29 > 2:46:34passion to become my job because it ruins it. People who own a
2:46:34 > 2:46:39restaurant, they love cooking but it ruins it for them. These songs are
2:46:39 > 2:46:43songs that mean something to me. It's the most personal thing I've
2:46:43 > 2:46:47done and you get the nay Stayers and people who say you shouldn't be
2:46:47 > 2:46:59doing this or that, but you can't live your life by that. It's on on
2:46:59 > 2:47:05Thursday.DIY SOS and Children In Need, that is 8 o'clock on Wednesday
2:47:05 > 2:47:09next week on BBC One. Your album is out tomorrow. Good luck with it.
2:47:09 > 2:47:13Thank you for joining us.It's a real roller coaster of emotions on
2:47:13 > 2:47:18Children In Need.They always are.
2:47:18 > 2:47:21Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
2:47:21 > 2:47:22Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
2:47:22 > 2:47:26It's not exactly steady weather is it?
2:47:26 > 2:47:29It's very changeable actually. Beautiful weather watchers pictures
2:47:29 > 2:47:35this morning, this one from Herne Bay in Kent earlier on and this one
2:47:35 > 2:47:40from Stirling. It's not as cold as it was yesterday. In Manchester it's
2:47:40 > 2:47:4512 and in Cornwall at the moment it's actually 14, whereas if you
2:47:45 > 2:47:51push over to the south-east, the temperature is only four there. Look
2:47:51 > 2:47:57at the other temperatures: We have a fair bit of cloud this
2:47:57 > 2:48:01morning and rain courtesy of the weather front which is continuing to
2:48:01 > 2:48:06sink steadily southwards. We'll see the sun flowing behind it
2:48:06 > 2:48:10as well. Here is the cloud and patchy rain.
2:48:10 > 2:48:15The whole lot is heading south. Northern Ireland and Scotland seeing
2:48:15 > 2:48:19some sunshine already. A real rash of showers coming in across the far
2:48:19 > 2:48:25north of Scotland, blown in on a blustery wind. Breezy in the north
2:48:25 > 2:48:29coast of Northern Ireland. A lot of dry weather and sunshine. Still
2:48:29 > 2:48:33blustery across the far north of Scotland. Move away from that and we
2:48:33 > 2:48:37are back into the sunny spells. High cloud out towards the west. Drifting
2:48:37 > 2:48:41into northern England and the Isle of Man, again a lot of dry weather
2:48:41 > 2:48:44and sunshine.
2:48:45 > 2:48:51We run into what is left of the weather front, a weak affair this
2:48:51 > 2:48:54afternoon, still producing some cloud, but the cloud will break here
2:48:54 > 2:48:59and there. It won't be a hard line of cloud. Into south-west England,
2:48:59 > 2:49:04South Wales, some sunshine in. The sunshine we could hit 13 or 14.
2:49:04 > 2:49:08Through the evening, we see the back edge of that cloud move away, clear
2:49:08 > 2:49:13skies and then the rain and thick cloud in the west start to drift
2:49:13 > 2:49:19towards the east and the south. Clearer skies behind those.
2:49:19 > 2:49:23Scotland's looking at a widespread of frost and a plethora of showers
2:49:23 > 2:49:28coming in on the breeze. Once again wintry on the hills. Here is the
2:49:28 > 2:49:34weather front. Clearing readily from southern counties. Leaving a lot of
2:49:34 > 2:49:40sunshine. Showers for the day in places and breezy as well.
2:49:40 > 2:49:42Temperature-wise, five in the Northern Isles to 14 in the Channel
2:49:42 > 2:49:47Islands. You can see too the next system coming in from the west.
2:49:47 > 2:49:50During the course of Saturday, Armistice Day, we'll see that clear
2:49:50 > 2:49:55to southern areas. Behind it, it will brighten, dry out bar one or
2:49:55 > 2:50:00two showers. Sunny spells in the east. It's going to feel cold on
2:50:00 > 2:50:04Saturday and also on Remembrance Sunday as well. If you are standing
2:50:04 > 2:50:07outside, do bear that in mind. Despite the fact it will be a bright
2:50:07 > 2:50:11day and there will be some sunshine, there'll also be a few showers in
2:50:11 > 2:50:13the west.
2:50:16 > 2:50:19Beautiful and complex, coral reefs occupy just
2:50:19 > 2:50:220.1% of the ocean floor, yet they're home to a quarter
2:50:22 > 2:50:25of all known marine species.
2:50:25 > 2:50:28They may be adorned with colourful life, but it's no tropical paradise;
2:50:28 > 2:50:32space is at a premium and one big storm can threaten the entire
2:50:32 > 2:50:36community, as this week's episode of Blue Planet 2 finds out.
2:50:36 > 2:50:43Let's take a look at an exclusive clip.
2:50:48 > 2:50:50A coconut shell...
2:50:52 > 2:50:59It looks just right. But it's a long way from home.
2:51:15 > 2:51:20And he can't move it by himself.
2:51:32 > 2:51:40So the pair now work together.
2:52:15 > 2:52:20A little adjustment to the tentacles.
2:52:23 > 2:52:27And the shell is tucked in.
2:52:33 > 2:52:38The female lays a - a safe nursery at last.
2:52:38 > 2:52:40Two people involved with this week's episode, Blue Planet,
2:52:40 > 2:52:46cameraman Roger Munns and Producer Jonathan Smith, are with us now.
2:52:46 > 2:52:51Why didn't that clown fish get a name because the tusk fish did. He
2:52:51 > 2:52:56needs a name, he's too much of a character not to have one.We are
2:52:56 > 2:53:02open to names.Charlie!It's a wonderful sequence isn't it. Explain
2:53:02 > 2:53:06from the point of view of science, what are we seeing there that hasn't
2:53:06 > 2:53:11possibly been seen before?It's a behaviour that's never been seen
2:53:11 > 2:53:15before. Early on, there is a lot of ways we find our stories for the
2:53:15 > 2:53:18series and the whole world of scientists are out there, but this
2:53:18 > 2:53:22one happened, we were talking to Roger at the beginning of
2:53:22 > 2:53:26production, he lives in Borneo, spent thousands of hours on the reef
2:53:26 > 2:53:31set. I said, have you got any amazing sequences and he thought and
2:53:31 > 2:53:36muted a couple, then he said, there is this story I heard of 14 years
2:53:36 > 2:53:45ago that maybe there's a clown fish that pushes objects and we started
2:53:45 > 2:53:49researching and found some scientists in Papua New Guinea.
2:53:49 > 2:53:55They'd never seen the pushing behaviour, but they said, we take
2:53:55 > 2:54:01down kitchen tiles down to see if they lay their eggs. We'd go down
2:54:01 > 2:54:05and there would be bits of rubbish. One picture, there was a picture of
2:54:05 > 2:54:09a baby doll's arm that was under there. They went down, moved the
2:54:09 > 2:54:13rubbish, put the tile under, came back a bit later expecting the tile
2:54:13 > 2:54:19to be covered in eggs and the tile was way over there and the baby
2:54:19 > 2:54:24doll's arm had made its way back under. They said there was every
2:54:24 > 2:54:28chance they are moving something so then that was really all we needed
2:54:28 > 2:54:36for Roger to go head first into that sequence.How long did it take from
2:54:36 > 2:54:41you being given the assignment to now finding Charlie the clown fish?
2:54:41 > 2:54:45We knew where Charlie was but the shoot took three weeks. We went down
2:54:45 > 2:54:49there, gave it a lot of time and space. On these big series we have
2:54:49 > 2:54:54that time so we can be really patient, sat down there for 120
2:54:54 > 2:54:58hours with Charlie. Find it hard to call him Charlie but anyway...Don't
2:54:58 > 2:55:03feel you have to!It's a good name! You have to have the balance between
2:55:03 > 2:55:07not disturbing them but being close enough to observe them in their
2:55:07 > 2:55:12natural habitat. Did they ever interact with you or just end up
2:55:12 > 2:55:21ignoring you? Did you become part of the sea bed funk huh?Initially we
2:55:21 > 2:55:24are sensitive to them, go slowly and move in slowly and make sure they
2:55:24 > 2:55:28are happy with us wanting to be there because we want to film
2:55:28 > 2:55:33natural behaviour, we don't want them to worry about us. After a
2:55:33 > 2:55:38couple of days, we start bringing in the big equipment you saw there, the
2:55:38 > 2:55:45sliders and macro scope which gives you a fish eye perspective.People
2:55:45 > 2:55:50always think about coral reefs as being in places of great activity,
2:55:50 > 2:55:54they are alive, aren't they, you know, that is what you are trying to
2:55:54 > 2:56:00illustrate and you see all sorts of activity in those environments?So
2:56:00 > 2:56:08muchmore than we realised. If you go back to Blue Planet I, it's 16
2:56:08 > 2:56:12years, we have the ability the film the new discoveries now in such new
2:56:12 > 2:56:16ways and to really immerse you. The coral reef is a city of the sea
2:56:16 > 2:56:24ultimately. Day take up a tiny fragment of the ocean floor.I said
2:56:24 > 2:56:34one tenth but it's not.It's less than one tenth.The marine
2:56:34 > 2:56:39metropolis is packed full of life. Around every corner, there are great
2:56:39 > 2:56:45opportunities and also great danger. This means you have this raft of
2:56:45 > 2:56:50characters that are found the most extraordinary solutions to staying
2:56:50 > 2:56:56there and getting on top.We have seen team work between different
2:56:56 > 2:57:05fish. The octopus and the other fish?We have filmed an amazing
2:57:05 > 2:57:08sequence where two animals who'd normally compete for food on the
2:57:08 > 2:57:16reef, they have the same prey, small crabs and fib fish, they have
2:57:16 > 2:57:20decided to team up together and feed.My mugs guide so this is the
2:57:20 > 2:57:23octopus is reaching inside and rustling up things to come out and
2:57:23 > 2:57:27then the group sometimes get what comes out?That's right.They move
2:57:27 > 2:57:35around together?But what is really amazing, he's signalling to the
2:57:35 > 2:57:37octopus, he'll invert himself, point down at the fish so the octopus
2:57:37 > 2:57:42knows where to two to try to catch the fish, he'll then try to catch
2:57:42 > 2:57:46and net it, then the group will pounce and catch the fish.It looks
2:57:46 > 2:57:52amazing, sounds like you have a dream job, but there are stories of
2:57:52 > 2:57:57mishaps. One I read about, the cameraman on the shoot who got stung
2:57:57 > 2:58:03on his finger.That was me.That was you?Yes.And did it involve boiling
2:58:03 > 2:58:07water and a black finger which lasteded for a long time?Yes.What
2:58:07 > 2:58:12happened?My own fault completely. We were filming on the sandy flats,
2:58:12 > 2:58:15I put my hand down where a sting fish decided to bury himself and
2:58:15 > 2:58:19make his home. They have a nasty spine in their back and punctured my
2:58:19 > 2:58:26finger. That was the end of the dive pretty quickly. It was a case of
2:58:26 > 2:58:30lots of dipping in scalding hot water to denature the protein-based
2:58:30 > 2:58:34poison, but I was back in the water the next day and it was entirely my
2:58:34 > 2:58:38fault.But if you are too deep, you can't come up that quickly can you,
2:58:38 > 2:58:42so in that situation you were only what a few metres fortunately?We
2:58:42 > 2:58:45were able to come to the surface, yes, we were shallow.What is the
2:58:45 > 2:58:49deepest you have been down?Coral reefs are mostly shallow so we have
2:58:49 > 2:58:54been working in the top ten or 20 metres but we have been doing very
2:58:54 > 2:58:59long dives meaning we can stay down, the longest was about four hours,
2:58:59 > 2:59:05253 minutes in one dive.Waiting for a turtle to do something!Tell me it
2:59:05 > 2:59:09did something? !We had two hours where we literally sat there waiting
2:59:09 > 2:59:13for a you are thement even to come in. So you can imagine, you have to
2:59:13 > 2:59:18start entertaining yourselves a bit. Roger and I got really good at
2:59:18 > 2:59:23under-water charades!The pictures you come up with are amazing. Do you
2:59:23 > 2:59:29like the effect here? We sort of turn it into an aqua zone. Uncanny
2:59:29 > 2:59:32isn't it? !
2:59:32 > 2:59:34The third episode of Blue Planet 2 is on BBC One
2:59:34 > 2:59:41at 8pm this Sunday night.
2:59:41 > 2:59:46We will be talking about the little bear who left deepest, darkest room
2:59:46 > 2:59:49with a suitcase full of marmalade sandwiches, arrived in England and
2:59:49 > 2:59:51never left.
2:59:51 > 2:59:55Paddington has entertained and delighted generations
2:59:55 > 2:59:58of children for nearly 60 years, and a fair few adults as well!
2:59:58 > 3:00:02Now he's set to go on one last adventure penned by his creator,
3:00:02 > 3:00:03the late Michael Bond.
3:00:03 > 3:00:05We'll speak to Michael's daughter Karen in a moment, but first,
3:00:05 > 3:00:08let's take a peek at a scene from his latest film Paddington 2.
3:00:08 > 3:00:10Quick trim, Barber!
3:00:10 > 3:00:12I'm not the barber, I just tidy up.
3:00:12 > 3:00:15That's all I want, tidy up the back and sides,
3:00:15 > 3:00:16nothing off the top.
3:00:16 > 3:00:18Yes, but...
3:00:18 > 3:00:20No buts, come on, chop chop.
3:00:20 > 3:00:26If you say so, sir.
3:00:26 > 3:00:32Ah.
3:00:39 > 3:00:53TELEPHONE RINGS.Would you mind if I call you back? I think I may be
3:00:53 > 3:01:02about to shave a customer. Oh, thank goodness. Just putting you on
3:01:02 > 3:01:10hold...But I don't want to.It's only a haircut, Nelson, there's
3:01:10 > 3:01:15nothing to be afraid of.
3:01:15 > 3:01:19That was Paddington bear in action on the big screen who we'll also be
3:01:19 > 3:01:22seeing next year in the final book by his late creator Michael Bond
3:01:22 > 3:01:24whose daughter Karen Jekel is in our London studio this morning.
3:01:24 > 3:01:30It is lovely to have you with us, we were just showing Paddington 2, and
3:01:30 > 3:01:33there is a release of a new story of his adventures, the final won by
3:01:33 > 3:01:38your late father. Tell us about that.That's right, you wrote it
3:01:38 > 3:01:45just before he died and it will be published next year, and it is about
3:01:45 > 3:01:48Paddington visiting St Paul's Cathedral.And of course it is
3:01:48 > 3:01:52poignant, it was the last one before he died. What did he put in it, do
3:01:52 > 3:01:57you think? Did he know it was his final Paddington, so to speak?I'm
3:01:57 > 3:02:03not sure he knew it was his final one, but it came about because the
3:02:03 > 3:02:11Queen's 90th birthday celebrations in St Paul's in 2015, he was asked
3:02:11 > 3:02:14to write a piece which was bred by Sir David Attenborough and after
3:02:14 > 3:02:19that St Paul's asked him if he would write a story about Paddington going
3:02:19 > 3:02:24to St Paul's, and it is very appropriate because next week we are
3:02:24 > 3:02:28having his memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral, which will be an
3:02:28 > 3:02:33opportunity for his fans to actually come and pay their last respects to
3:02:33 > 3:02:37him.Karen, that will be a special moment for lots of people, I'm sure
3:02:37 > 3:02:45for you and all the family as well. Give us a sense of your earliest
3:02:45 > 3:02:47recollections, when did you first know about Paddington, about your
3:02:47 > 3:02:51dad's work?The first book was published exactly two months after I
3:02:51 > 3:02:54was born, so as far as I was concerned, Paddington was always a
3:02:54 > 3:02:59part of my life, I literally grew up with him, he was a member of our
3:02:59 > 3:03:02family.It is such an enduring character, evidenced by the fact
3:03:02 > 3:03:07that the films are out now. What did you think the quality was about
3:03:07 > 3:03:11Paddington bear that made people love him so much?I think my father
3:03:11 > 3:03:14believed in him totally other character, he never set out to write
3:03:14 > 3:03:18a children's book and when he created Paddington he really
3:03:18 > 3:03:23believed in him. He is a very warm, friendly there, he gets himself into
3:03:23 > 3:03:26scrapes but everybody knows things will come out all right in the end
3:03:26 > 3:03:30and I think that is what is appealing about him. But I think it
3:03:30 > 3:03:34is the fact he was so real to my father that he seems real in the
3:03:34 > 3:03:44books as well.And there was always the argument about how well a book
3:03:44 > 3:03:46can translate onto screen, particularly for your father, he
3:03:46 > 3:03:49must have given his opinion on how he thought it had gone with the
3:03:49 > 3:03:52film?Yes, he was nervous before the first film came out because it was a
3:03:52 > 3:03:56big step to take, but he loved the first film and I think Paul King,
3:03:56 > 3:04:00the director, and David Hayes, the producer, did add wonderful job and
3:04:00 > 3:04:04they have managed to do it as well with the second film, which is
3:04:04 > 3:04:08wonderful.Karen, thank you for talking to us this morning, of
3:04:08 > 3:04:12course we will be talking about Paddington in future, Karen Dachau,
3:04:12 > 3:04:17there, the daughter of the late Paddington creator, Michael Bond.
3:04:17 > 3:04:20The new Paddington book is out next June and the film Paddington 2
3:04:20 > 3:04:22is out in UK cinemas on Friday.
3:04:22 > 3:04:24In a moment we'll speak to the classically-trained sisters
3:04:24 > 3:04:26who hit the spotlight after Mark Ronson spotted
3:04:26 > 3:04:31their cover of his number one hit Uptown Funk.
3:04:31 > 3:04:36A classical cover. They are bringing their instruments in.
3:04:36 > 3:06:11First, though, here's a last, brief look at the headlines
3:06:19 > 3:06:22Welcome back.
3:06:22 > 3:06:24They're the sister act who blur the boundaries between classical
3:06:24 > 3:06:31and contemporary music.
3:06:31 > 3:06:35We are joined by Laura and Serra uber, with your instruments, we
3:06:35 > 3:06:45looking forward to hearing you.
3:06:47 > 3:06:50-- and Sara Ayoub.
3:06:50 > 3:06:52They were first spotted by Mark Ronson
3:06:52 > 3:06:54after posting their own classical take of his hit
3:06:54 > 3:06:55Uptown Fun to YouTube.
3:06:55 > 3:06:57Since then they've wowed audiences at the BAFTAs
3:06:57 > 3:06:59and the Royal Albert Hall with their unique style,
3:06:59 > 3:07:01which combines classical, pop and original arrangements.
3:07:01 > 3:07:04We'll speak to them in a minute but first let's have a listen.
3:07:04 > 3:07:14MUSIC: "Uptown Funk".
3:07:35 > 3:07:45MUSIC: "Uptown Funk".
3:07:49 > 3:07:54I love what you have captured, the cheekiness of the song, which is
3:07:54 > 3:07:58really difficult to do with classical instruments. You obviously
3:07:58 > 3:08:05have danced to the song or enjoyed the song.Obviously!It is quite a
3:08:05 > 3:08:08brave thing to take on something so popular that people recognise and
3:08:08 > 3:08:14transform it, really?As classical musicians, we have been trained in
3:08:14 > 3:08:17the classical style, we went to music school, conservator, which was
3:08:17 > 3:08:28rigorous training, and to break from that and explore the jazz and pop
3:08:28 > 3:08:32genre is down, but we enjoy it.And Mark Ronson saw this when you
3:08:32 > 3:08:39uploaded it, and what happened then? He got in touch and invited us and
3:08:39 > 3:08:44four of the musicians to Abbey Road studios last year to re-record the
3:08:44 > 3:08:47song which he produced and it was presented at the BRIT Awards last
3:08:47 > 3:08:53year.What are the challenges? You go into Abbey Road, famous studio,
3:08:53 > 3:08:56what is the first thing that happens? You listen to the original
3:08:56 > 3:09:02and then what?In that particular instant it was all of us coming
3:09:02 > 3:09:05together having played it very, very different styles, very different
3:09:05 > 3:09:10keys, and trying to find some sort of common ground and come up with a
3:09:10 > 3:09:15new arrangement that showcase all of us, we had a single, a ukelele, an
3:09:15 > 3:09:20acoustic guitar, violin and cello. It was a very creative process and
3:09:20 > 3:09:23basically just trying to find a way to showcase everyone in that new
3:09:23 > 3:09:29arrangement.You have your instruments with you, are you going
3:09:29 > 3:09:36to play something for us now?Why not? We will give you a little bust
3:09:36 > 3:09:40of a Hungarian folk dance, which is one of the songs on the album. I
3:09:40 > 3:09:47just want to make sure I don't hit you!
3:10:12 > 3:10:21MUSIC.
3:10:34 > 3:10:41Wow! Fabulous! In other circumstances
3:10:41 > 3:10:45everybody would have been doing a folk dance!I was waiting for you to
3:10:45 > 3:10:50get up!It always occurs to me when we have classical musicians are
3:10:50 > 3:10:53specially who play live, the physical effort involved.Yes, there
3:10:53 > 3:11:01are lots of intricate finger details that you need to control.It is
3:11:01 > 3:11:04interesting, we introduced you talking about Uptown Funk, Mark
3:11:04 > 3:11:08Ronson, then you did a Hungarian folk bees, and on the album you have
3:11:08 > 3:11:13a real breadth of music, you have drawn upon... Your parents are
3:11:13 > 3:11:17Egyptian so you have drawn on that, you were brought up in Scotland, but
3:11:17 > 3:11:22there is a breadth of music. How did you decide that it was OK to have
3:11:22 > 3:11:30Shostakovich as well as Mark Ronson, and how did you decide what to have?
3:11:30 > 3:11:34Basically what we wanted to do was make the most honest album we
3:11:34 > 3:11:39possibly could make, something that was an honest reflection of us as
3:11:39 > 3:11:43people, that reflects our Egyptian heritage, our Scottish heritage, but
3:11:43 > 3:11:47also us as musicians, we are classically trained, we went to
3:11:47 > 3:11:51music school and conservatoire, as Sara said, but we also love
3:11:51 > 3:11:59listening to all kinds of music, which is why do you have deferred
3:11:59 > 3:12:01amount and Billie Jean by Michael Jackson on the same disc because
3:12:01 > 3:12:09that is what we like listening to. And you write as well?Yes, we wrote
3:12:09 > 3:12:15all of the orchestral arrangements on the album.You get the final say?
3:12:15 > 3:12:18It is a team effort! We work well together and we had such a tight
3:12:18 > 3:12:22deadline to get the album ready for recording, we had three months to
3:12:22 > 3:12:26write everything so we were both acted on the laptop, working away,
3:12:26 > 3:12:33but thankfully we managed to get it together.Are there some songs, you
3:12:33 > 3:12:36have a huge interest, different songs, are there some that just are
3:12:36 > 3:12:38necessarily much harder to do something with with classical
3:12:38 > 3:12:46instruments?I wouldn't say there is necessarily a type of genre that is
3:12:46 > 3:12:53particularly difficult, it is more like trying to find a fresh idea to
3:12:53 > 3:12:57put your own print on a song that everybody knows, like Uptown Funk.
3:12:57 > 3:13:01There is no shortage of people that have covered it, but we tried to
3:13:01 > 3:13:05bring something unique, as a violinist and cellist, to that
3:13:05 > 3:13:10particular song.You play other instruments as well?We both play
3:13:10 > 3:13:14the piano, you can see all that on the album.The most surprising song
3:13:14 > 3:13:20on the album?I would say Uptown Funk just by the nature of the
3:13:20 > 3:13:27instrumentation, you have got a full Symphony Orchestra, pianist, cello,
3:13:27 > 3:13:31we both use the piano during that. When you start listening to it, that
3:13:31 > 3:13:37is when you go, of course! Thank you for playing live for us.
3:13:37 > 3:13:38Thank you for having of!
3:13:38 > 3:13:40Sara and Laura's album is called The Ayoub Sisters.
3:13:40 > 3:13:42That's all we've got time for this morning.
3:13:42 > 3:13:44We'll be back tomorrow from 6am.
