0:00:06 > 0:00:09Hello - this is Breakfast,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09
0:00:09 > 0:00:11with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Doubt surrounds the future of Zimbabwe's long time leader,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Robert Mugabe, after he was placed under house arrest by
0:00:16 > 0:00:17the country's military.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Envoys from neighbouring South Africa arrive in the country
0:00:19 > 0:00:22to clarify the situation amid international calls for calm
0:00:22 > 0:00:24and greater democracy.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Good morning.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41It's Thursday 16 November.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Also this morning:
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Scientists will warn world leaders that the effects of climate change
0:00:48 > 0:00:51are inevitable, even if major cuts are made to carbon dioxide
0:00:51 > 0:00:59emissions.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Salvator Mundi selling here.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04The piece is sold!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07A painting by Leonardo da Vinci, which sold for £45 pounds
0:01:07 > 0:01:19in the '50s, goes under the hammer in New York for £340 million.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Tickets for top-flight football are getting cheaper thanks
0:01:21 > 0:01:24to big-money TV deals - but why is the game still struggling
0:01:24 > 0:01:26to attract younger fans?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27I'll have the details.
0:01:27 > 0:01:27In sport,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Sir Bradley Wiggins says his life's been a living hell as it's revealed
0:01:31 > 0:01:33he'll face no charges following an investigation
0:01:33 > 0:01:36into the contents of a mystery package delivered to him at the end
0:01:36 > 0:01:37of a race in 2011.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41And Matt has the weather:
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Your Thursday start, fairly mild but there is colder air on the way to
0:01:45 > 0:01:49the next few days. A bit more sunshine as well. Your full forecast
0:01:49 > 0:01:50in 15 minutes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51First, our main story.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The future of Zimbabwe's long time leader, Robert Mugabe remains
0:01:54 > 0:01:56unclear this morning, after he was placed under house
0:01:56 > 0:01:58arrest by the country's military.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Two envoys from South Africa have arrived in the capital,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Harare, to try to hold talks with the 93-year-old
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and with the country's generals - who deny there's been a coup.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It's been seen by many as a move to prevent Mr Mugabe's wife Grace
0:02:10 > 0:02:11from succeeding him in power.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Laura Westbrook reports.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17What would have been unthinkable only a few weeks ago has happened:
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Robert Mugabe, the world's oldest leader, has lost control
0:02:20 > 0:02:24of the country he has ruled for 37 years.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28The military denied staging a coup, but it is clear that Robert Mugabe
0:02:28 > 0:02:37is no longer calling the shots.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Zimbabwe's ruling party, the ZANU-PF, were emphatic.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41President Mugabe is still in power.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44He's the man in charge of Zimbabwe, officially, right now.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45A lot has happened.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47But what has happened is a not coup.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49The language is important, and key regional block,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51the African Union, has given its full support
0:02:51 > 0:02:53to the country's legal situations.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57TRANSLATION:The military has assured asked that this is not
0:03:03 > 0:03:15This ball is down to an external struggle within the governing party.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19On one side, Robert Mugabe's wife, Grace, one of the most powerful
0:03:19 > 0:03:24politicians in the country. It is believed her being groomed to
0:03:24 > 0:03:34succeed Robert Mugabe has inspired this takeover. There has to be a
0:03:34 > 0:03:40transition away from Robert Mugabe but it needs to be credible.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Zimbabwe is waking up to a country that has changed dramatically.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45But whether it is the change they had been hoping
0:03:45 > 0:03:47for is far from clear.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Laura Westbrook, BBC News.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51We can speak now to our Southern Africa Correspondent Andrew Harding,
0:03:51 > 0:03:52who's on the line from Zimbabwe.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Andrew, what is the atmosphere like there this morning?
0:03:56 > 0:04:05It feels like this is a situation that is moving to a certain point.
0:04:05 > 0:04:15It's calm and quiet and very strange. It is amazing that the
0:04:15 > 0:04:19force did not go any further than that. This coup was over very
0:04:19 > 0:04:24quickly. Now we have people, many Zimbabweans would like to celebrate
0:04:24 > 0:04:29the fact that Robert Mugabe is gone. There was huge frustration here that
0:04:29 > 0:04:35he was trying to engineer a dynasty and push his wife, an
0:04:35 > 0:04:38extraordinarily unpopular woman, into power and yet now nobody really
0:04:38 > 0:04:44knows what has happened and what will happen next. Many are claiming
0:04:44 > 0:04:55this is not a clue. I think that --a coup d'etat. President Mugabe is
0:04:55 > 0:04:59locked up in house arrest but he still holds a very powerful card
0:04:59 > 0:05:04because the generals, the military who seized power, they want him to
0:05:04 > 0:05:07basically give them a seal of approval to say what he had done,
0:05:07 > 0:05:22that it was not a coup. They feel that very, very strongly. He will
0:05:22 > 0:05:26either be impeached, he will reshuffle the Cabinet or will try to
0:05:26 > 0:05:33carry on.Andrew, -- Andrew, good to talk to you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37In the next half an hour we'll speak to Sue Onslow from the Institute
0:05:37 > 0:05:39of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41who has written a biography of Robert Mugabe.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42That's at 6.40.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44The impacts of climate change are already inevitable,
0:05:44 > 0:05:50even if the world immediately and radically cuts its carbon
0:05:50 > 0:05:52An international research programme called HELIX says sea
0:05:52 > 0:05:55levels will rise by as much as 50 centimetres by the end
0:05:55 > 0:05:56of the century.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Its findings are being presented at the UN climate talks
0:05:59 > 0:06:04in the Germany city of Bonn, as Andy Moore reports.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07This latest report has been presented to an international
0:06:07 > 0:06:20conference on climate change in Bonn, where world leaders have
0:06:20 > 0:06:21already begun to gather.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Whatever they can do to restrict carbon, restrict carbon dioxide
0:06:23 > 0:06:25restriction, climate change cannot be avoided.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Carbon dioxide molecules will warm the atmosphere
0:06:27 > 0:06:28for hundreds of years.
0:06:28 > 0:06:35That extra heat means the water steadily expands.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39So the researchers can say with some confidence that half a million
0:06:39 > 0:06:42people in low-lying Bangladesh will be affected by rising sea levels.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44In a worst-case scenario, with rising emissions,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47that figure could reach 12 million by the end of the century.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Some tropical areas already suffer levels of heat bringing a very high
0:06:50 > 0:06:52risk of human harm - the so-called heat stress.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55The researchers say that with two degrees warming,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58most of of the Indian subcontinent and large areas of Africa
0:06:58 > 0:07:00would get these conditions.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Rainfall and river levels are hard to predict,
0:07:02 > 0:07:18but scientists say they are confident they will be increased
0:07:18 > 0:07:20flooding on some major rivers, even if emissions
0:07:20 > 0:07:21are strictly reduced.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And there is no sign of that happening at the moment.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29The conference has already been told that global emissions of carbon
0:07:29 > 0:07:32dioxide, are forecast to rise for the first time in four
0:07:32 > 0:07:32years in 2017.
0:07:32 > 0:07:42That is largely due to the use of coal in China's booming economy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Plans to encourage housing associations to borrow money
0:07:44 > 0:07:47to invest in new homes are being announced by the government.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It comes after Theresa May pledged to kickstart
0:07:49 > 0:07:52a new generation of council house building last month.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Labour says there is no coherent plan to address
0:07:54 > 0:07:55the "housing crisis".
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Let's get more on this with our political correspondent
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Leila Nathoo.
0:07:58 > 0:08:11Take us through what is being outlined by the government. What we
0:08:11 > 0:08:18have is a specific announcement that the housing associations will no
0:08:18 > 0:08:25longer be considered on the public books.Borrowing more to invest in
0:08:25 > 0:08:49building. And being pushed on housing in the Budget. Theresa May
0:08:49 > 0:08:52today will say she is identifying this area as one that she thinks
0:08:52 > 0:09:00will be popular. Especially those where the government will push on in
0:09:00 > 0:09:05the Budget. Labour is saying this goes nowhere near far enough.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11Actually, the Shadow Chancellor is himself including a large-scale
0:09:11 > 0:09:16public house programme in a list of five demands ahead of the Budget
0:09:16 > 0:09:20next week.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23The number of guns, drugs and fake goods being smuggled into the UK
0:09:23 > 0:09:27could rise after Brexit, unless a "significant" number
0:09:27 > 0:09:30of extra border staff are recruited.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34That's according to a cross-party group of MPs.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36A spokesman for the Government said it
0:09:36 > 0:09:38will ensure that resources were available to run an effective
0:09:38 > 0:09:40customs system once Britain leaves the EU,
0:09:40 > 0:09:45but the Home Affairs Select Committee says ministers must draw
0:09:45 > 0:09:48but the Home Affairs Select Committee says ministers must draw
0:09:48 > 0:09:51up contingency plans to prevent long delays at ports and airports.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has declared a period
0:09:53 > 0:09:56of national mourning after flash floods killed at least 15 people
0:09:56 > 0:09:58and caused widespread destruction in central Greece.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Heavy rain brought torrents of mud flowing through three
0:10:01 > 0:10:01towns near Athens.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04More than a thousand homes and businesses have been inundated
0:10:04 > 0:10:06and roads totally destroyed.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09A 500-year-old painting of Christ, believed to have been created
0:10:09 > 0:10:12by Leonardo da Vinci, has been sold in New York
0:10:12 > 0:10:26for a record 300 million pounds.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30The price for Salvator Mundi - or "Saviour of the World" -
0:10:30 > 0:10:32is the highest ever paid for a painting.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Here's our arts correspondent, Vincent Dowd.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Many thought the painting would sell the $100 million, around £76
0:10:38 > 0:10:43million. That was likely to be exceeded comfortably, but nobody
0:10:43 > 0:10:45could guess how comfortable it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Dating from around 1506, the image of Jesus Christ is thought
0:10:48 > 0:10:51to have been created for the French royal family.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Disastrously restored in 1958, it was auctioned in London
0:10:53 > 0:10:56than for a mere £45, at a time most experts thought
0:10:56 > 0:10:59it was by a student of Leonardo, not by the man himself.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Let's open this at 70, 75...
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Last night, the tension was obvious as Christie's auctioneer kept
0:11:04 > 0:11:06the bids flowing.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09$100 million was reached quickly, than $200 million.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13$190 million is bid.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14$200 million is bid.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18That broke the previous record, held by Picasso's Women of Algiers,
0:11:18 > 0:11:19sold for $179 million in 2015.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I am selling at $240 million.
0:11:22 > 0:11:31Can you give me $290 million Alex?
0:11:31 > 0:11:31300.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I thought so.
0:11:32 > 0:11:41$300 million.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47It seemed that bidding had reached its climax.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Until the buyer, who was on the phone, was tempted
0:11:49 > 0:11:51to the extraordinary final amount.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53$400 million is the bid, and the pieces sold.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It is not known who the buyer was.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59The sale shows the importance of rarity - this could be the last
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Leonardo to ever reach auction, and was half a millennium
0:12:02 > 0:12:05after his death, he showed us he is still the greatest star
0:12:05 > 0:12:06in the art world.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12it is an
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Astronomers say they've discovered a planet about the size of Earth,
0:12:15 > 0:12:20of Earth,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22with a mild climate which could harbour life.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25It's called Ross 128b and it's 11 light years away.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Researchers believe the planet's temperature could range
0:12:27 > 0:12:30from -60 to 20 celcius, making it a promising place
0:12:30 > 0:12:35to search for life.
0:12:35 > 0:12:41Ross 128B, that is catchy. I don't know why it is called that. I
0:12:41 > 0:12:49imagine it came after Ross 127. Exactly that. How are we doing?A
0:12:49 > 0:12:55bit of a sorry end. We are talking Bradley Wiggins. You might remember
0:12:55 > 0:12:58this long investigation into the context -- the contents of this
0:12:58 > 0:13:03mysterious package which was delivered him at the end of the race
0:13:03 > 0:13:07in 2011. A year - long investigation. They found they can't
0:13:07 > 0:13:12prove what is in it.It is the first time we have heard from about it?He
0:13:12 > 0:13:20spoke at the start when the investigation began. He was very
0:13:20 > 0:13:23outspoken on social media, saying the whole process felt like a
0:13:23 > 0:13:29witch-hunt. Essentially, he hasn't got that unqualified proof of
0:13:29 > 0:13:36innocence. They can't say what was in it. After a year-long
0:13:36 > 0:13:40investigation, a long time to get to this.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Britain's most decorated Olympian did not hold back in his assesment
0:13:43 > 0:13:46saying on social media at times the situation"felt nothing
0:13:46 > 0:13:51less than a malicious witch hunt" and was disappointed that the result
0:13:51 > 0:13:54of the UK anti doping investigation was anot an unqualified
0:13:54 > 0:13:56proof of innocence.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The bad week for Irish sport continues after failing to reach
0:13:59 > 0:14:01the football World Cup.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04They miss out on hosting the 2023 Rugby showpiece.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08France are the surprise choice to host the tournament.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11And things could get even worse for Northern Ireland as Scotland
0:14:11 > 0:14:14make manager Michael O'Neill their top choice to be their next
0:14:14 > 0:14:14boss.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17And with just a week to go until the start of the Ashes,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Mark Stoneman scores a century as he aims to cement his place
0:14:21 > 0:14:23in the side.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27And I guess that's what you need. Somebody scoring runs ahead of the
0:14:27 > 0:14:33Ashes. We have got Chris works taking wickets.That's amazing. See
0:14:33 > 0:14:40you later. Will you do the papers for us? And let us find a -- find
0:14:40 > 0:14:44out what is happening with the weather.
0:14:48 > 0:14:58You will notice something chilly. A mild start. Double figures. Not in
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Scotland. Dropping down. Clear spells and showers the morning. This
0:15:03 > 0:15:10weather front is coming through. The
0:15:10 > 0:15:11spells and showers the morning. This weather front is coming through. The
0:15:11 > 0:15:14rain will spread in across parts of the north and north-east of England
0:15:14 > 0:15:22and into north-west Wales by the end of rush-hour. To the south, a bit of
0:15:22 > 0:15:27patchy drizzle and light rain. Skies will brighten. Especially mild after
0:15:27 > 0:15:32the mild start. The weather front makes a move further south across
0:15:32 > 0:15:38Wales and the Midlands by early afternoon. By the end of the
0:15:38 > 0:15:42afternoon, it will sit in parts of southern England and East Anglia.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Temperatures, 13-14. Further north, sunshine coming out to be a bright
0:15:46 > 0:15:53afternoon. Showers. Temperatures in single figures for the afternoon.
0:15:53 > 0:16:00Cold air in place through the night. Frequent showers. Gusty winds in the
0:16:00 > 0:16:09north. City centre temperatures here. It will be back to the
0:16:09 > 0:16:15scraping the frost off of the car for Friday. Blustery in Scotland for
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Friday. Frequent showers in the north and west. Hail with sleet and
0:16:20 > 0:16:24snow. Much of England and Wales and Northern Ireland, dry through
0:16:24 > 0:16:30tomorrow. A sunny day. Rather chilly, especially out of the sun.
0:16:30 > 0:16:38The tussle between cold and mild and continues for the weekend. A cloudy
0:16:38 > 0:16:44day for many. Outbreaks of rain going south. Sunshine coming out
0:16:44 > 0:16:48again in Scotland and north-east England. Single figure temperatures
0:16:48 > 0:16:52here. Double figures towards the south. It continues to try to push
0:16:52 > 0:16:58in for Sunday. Cold air around this area of low pressure pushing on for
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Sunday. The east of the country, a chilly breeze and bright weather
0:17:03 > 0:17:07with sunshine. Uncertainty about how quickly the mild and tries to push
0:17:07 > 0:17:12in. Parts of south-west England and Northern Ireland at the moment but
0:17:12 > 0:17:19we will keep you updated. That is it. Back to you. Thank you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20we will keep you updated. That is it. Back to you. Thank you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Everyone is back in the room for the papers. The front pages. Daily
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Telegraph. Focusing on events in Zimbabwe to be reports suggesting
0:17:30 > 0:17:41everything is calm with a very unusual atmosphere. -- Zimbabwe. We
0:17:41 > 0:17:46will talk about that later. People do not know where Robert Mugabe is.
0:17:46 > 0:17:53That is on the Times as well. He is under house arrest. People are
0:17:53 > 0:18:00wondering how will he go. Will he say he is stepping down? The feeling
0:18:00 > 0:18:09is he has been humiliated with this coup that is being called not a
0:18:09 > 0:18:15coup.And what is going on in BBC newsrooms overnight. Pictures of
0:18:15 > 0:18:23staff slumbering at their desk. Interesting, taken by other staff.
0:18:23 > 0:18:30That was the night shift. We assume they were on a break to be The

0:18:42 > 0:18:49has been asked of parents in Theresa May's constituency.Talking about
0:18:49 > 0:18:56sleep. The Telegraph. The UK is known for working long hours to be
0:18:56 > 0:19:02more than 12% work more than 50 hours per week because of high
0:19:02 > 0:19:09housing costs. Working longer just to afford the mortgage.Longer than
0:19:09 > 0:19:20the Japanese?No. Japan is at the top. 32.8% working more than 50
0:19:20 > 0:19:27hours. Mexico and New Zealand are above us. The UK is in sixth place.
0:19:27 > 0:19:35A great picture. This is in Cambria. It was taken yesterday. It is not
0:19:35 > 0:19:40business-related. Apparently they are notorious for low cloud.What is
0:19:40 > 0:19:54that?It is a house. You can see it. Oh! So tiny. Well, not tiny, just
0:19:54 > 0:20:03far away.And millennials are finding a new interest in retro
0:20:03 > 0:20:12food, including this, Angel Delight. Did you ever liked it?No.You are
0:20:12 > 0:20:21pulling a face. -- like. Butterscotch.If he did not like
0:20:21 > 0:20:28before, you certainly will not now. Is it making a comeback?Yes. Sales
0:20:28 > 0:20:34up 30% in the last six months. People have been enjoying it.
0:20:34 > 0:20:42Obviously, not you two.The rugby internationals continuing. New
0:20:42 > 0:20:53Zealand against Australia. And this boxer says he likes to punch himself
0:20:53 > 0:20:58in the face to get ready for a match. He says he always gives
0:20:58 > 0:21:09himself three short jabs to the face. Can you imagine Charlie doing
0:21:09 > 0:21:12that before the morning shift?I would love to see it.People would
0:21:12 > 0:21:20offer that service, I am sure. He has a beard. Picking up on that
0:21:20 > 0:21:26theme, it seems the secret to training a puppy is to let a bond
0:21:26 > 0:21:38with a dear -- bearded man. Apparently it helps acclimatise
0:21:38 > 0:21:48them. Keep that in mind. This is what the Guide Dogs for the Blind
0:21:48 > 0:21:57say. They also say you should jangle keys near it. That gets them used to
0:21:57 > 0:22:06things.Hmm, beard awareness for dogs.Thank you.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08The main stories this morning:
0:22:08 > 0:22:11More than half a million Rohingya refugees are now thought to have
0:22:11 > 0:22:14fled Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh because of what's been
0:22:14 > 0:22:16described by the UN as "textbook ethnic cleansing."
0:22:16 > 0:22:19The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has called for a "credible
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and independent" investigation into the crisis.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Our correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, has been to see what's rapidly
0:22:23 > 0:22:25becoming the world's biggest refugee camp,
0:22:25 > 0:22:33in Bangladesh's port city of Cox's Bazar.
0:22:33 > 0:22:39A Bangladeshi army speedboat patrols the river marking the border with
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Myanmar. From the boat, you can see tens and hundreds of people trapped
0:22:43 > 0:22:49on the beaches. They are desperate to escape. So desperate, they will
0:22:49 > 0:22:55take incredible risks. Some 60 people are right on this raft made
0:22:55 > 0:22:59of plastic containers lashed together with rope. -- arrived. One
0:22:59 > 0:23:05big wave could have broken it apart. Yet babies and grandparents made the
0:23:05 > 0:23:11journey. They tell the same now familiar stories of violence and
0:23:11 > 0:23:19horror. TRANSLATION:They kept us on that beach for a month and a half.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25We had so little food. The army shot my husband, blinding him in 19.Like
0:23:25 > 0:23:31many of the newer rivals, they are in terrible shape -- in one eye.
0:23:31 > 0:23:40This boy is 2.5 -month-old. And he is severely malnourished. If he does
0:23:40 > 0:23:43not receive nutritious food soon, it could affect his development for
0:23:43 > 0:23:48life.One in four children are malnourished. We expect the
0:23:48 > 0:23:52situation to deteriorate before it improves. We have a nutrition crisis
0:23:52 > 0:23:57here now.12,000 people will be given food at this one feeding
0:23:57 > 0:24:03station here today. It is basic nutrition, just rice, lentils, and a
0:24:03 > 0:24:08bit of oil, but it is enough to keep you alive. There are now more than
0:24:08 > 0:24:13800,000 range of refugees here. No wonder they are calling this place
0:24:13 > 0:24:17the mega camp. -- Rohingya. Just look at that. There are now more
0:24:17 > 0:24:23people living here than in Leeds, Glasgow, or Liverpool. And every
0:24:23 > 0:24:31day, it grows and grows. Things are getting more orderly. The mega camp
0:24:31 > 0:24:37is getting roads and bridges. Thousands of toilets have been died
0:24:37 > 0:24:43in just the last few weeks. And geophysicists use drones to help
0:24:43 > 0:24:51find aquifers deep underground. -- dug.The red is aquifers, clean
0:24:51 > 0:24:57water.It is telling you where the drill. How important is clean water
0:24:57 > 0:25:01in a situation like this?It is fundamental. Without it, you will
0:25:01 > 0:25:08have diseases within days.But the truth is this is still basically a
0:25:08 > 0:25:15giant open-air prison. Soldiers guard the roads. Refugees are not
0:25:15 > 0:25:20allowed to leave the camp, and they cannot go back to Myanmar. Despite
0:25:20 > 0:25:23all of the evidence of atrocities, earlier this week, the Myanmar
0:25:23 > 0:25:27government issued a report that exonerated its army from any blame.
0:25:27 > 0:25:34Justin Rowlatt, BBC News.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Still to come on Breakfast:
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Ticket prices for top flight football matches have frozen
0:25:39 > 0:25:43or fallen for a third year in a row, but clubs are still struggling
0:25:43 > 0:25:45to attract younger fans, despite offering them discounts.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Ben will explain why.
0:25:46 > 0:29:06Time now
0:25:46 > 0:29:06sunshine on Sunday. But staying dry.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10I am back with the latest in half an hour. Plenty more on the website of
0:29:10 > 0:29:15the usual address. We will see you soon. Goodbye.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Hello this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Stayt.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19It's 6:30am.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25but also on Breakfast this morning: How survivors of the Grenfell Tower
0:29:25 > 0:29:27fire are making new, happier memories in Cornwall,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30after one mum began arranging holidays for them, after watching
0:29:30 > 0:29:31the disaster unfold on TV.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Lucy Alexander's son Felix took his own life
0:29:34 > 0:29:38after being tormented online.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Now she's teamed up with the Duke Of Cambridge
0:29:42 > 0:29:43for a campaign to tackle cyberbullying.
0:29:43 > 0:29:52We'll hear from her before 8am.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00And we'll be joined by Howard's End star Hayley Atwell, who plays
0:30:00 > 0:30:03the feisty Margaret Schlegel, in the latest adaptation of EM
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Forsters' classic novel.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Good morning.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News:
0:30:12 > 0:30:14The future of Zimbabwe's long time leader, Robert Mugabe,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16remains unclear this morning, after he was placed under house
0:30:17 > 0:30:19arrest by the country's military.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Two envoys from South Africa have arrived in the capital,
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Harare, to try to hold talks with the 93-year-old
0:30:26 > 0:30:29and with the country's generals, who deny there's been a coup.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31The impacts of climate change are already inevitable,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34even if the world immediately and radically cuts its carbon
0:30:34 > 0:30:37dioxide emissions, a new study claims. An international research
0:30:37 > 0:30:40programme called HELIX says sea levels will rise by as much as 50
0:30:40 > 0:30:44centimetres by the end of the century.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Its findings are being presented at the UN climate talks in Germany,
0:30:47 > 0:30:50where world leaders will discuss the future of the Paris accord,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53the climate change treaty that the United States says it wants
0:30:53 > 0:31:01to withdraw from.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Plans to encourage housing associations to borrow money
0:31:03 > 0:31:06to invest in new homes will be announced later.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09The government is to wipe about £70 billion worth of debt from housing
0:31:09 > 0:31:11associations' balance sheets, allowing them to raise
0:31:11 > 0:31:12money more cheaply.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15It comes after Theresa May pledged to kickstart a new generation
0:31:15 > 0:31:16of council house building last month.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19But Labour said there was no coherent plan to address
0:31:19 > 0:31:21the housing crisis.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25The number of guns, drugs and fake goods being smuggled into the UK
0:31:25 > 0:31:27could rise after Brexit, unless a "significant number"
0:31:27 > 0:31:30of extra border staff are recruited - that's according to a cross-party
0:31:30 > 0:31:31group of MPs.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34A spokesman for the Government said it will ensure that resources
0:31:34 > 0:31:37were available to run an effective customs system once Britain leaves
0:31:37 > 0:31:41the EU, but the Home Affairs Select Committee says ministers must draw
0:31:41 > 0:31:47up contingency plans to prevent long delays at ports and airports.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52Gridlock on the way to the ports. This was the scene two years ago on
0:31:52 > 0:31:57the motorway near Dover. Strikes by ferry workers in France and the
0:31:57 > 0:32:00surgeon attempts by migrants to get to Britain led to pews and delays
0:32:00 > 0:32:04over here and now the government has been warned it could happen again
0:32:04 > 0:32:10when the UK leads the EU. Our Home Affairs Committee report says unless
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Customs operations stay as they are up to Brexit, border checks will
0:32:14 > 0:32:21increase substantially because people from the EU will need
0:32:21 > 0:32:25screening. Extra capacity will be needed to store and search items in
0:32:25 > 0:32:29vehicles and it calls for significantly more staff than the
0:32:29 > 0:32:35300 extra officers promised by the government.What they can do, the
0:32:35 > 0:32:38customs checks of the Borders, if those cheques are going to increase,
0:32:38 > 0:32:43there is a real risk that border stork -- border Force staff will be
0:32:43 > 0:32:47pulled off security or illegal immigration checks and we can't have
0:32:47 > 0:32:51failings in Brexit implementation putting our security at risk.This
0:32:51 > 0:32:56is the second time in a week but a cross-party group of MPs has warned
0:32:56 > 0:32:59of possible border chaos after Brexit. The Public Accounts
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Committee said it would be catastrophic if a new customs
0:33:03 > 0:33:07declaration system was not ready on time but a spokesman for the
0:33:07 > 0:33:11government said it would ensure that resources are available to run an
0:33:11 > 0:33:27effective customs and immigration system.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32Thousands would have -- thousands of women have access to new drugs which
0:33:32 > 0:33:36have been approved. The National Institute negotiated an agreement on
0:33:36 > 0:33:38price with manufacturers.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has declared a period
0:33:41 > 0:33:44of national mourning after flash floods killed at least 15 people
0:33:44 > 0:33:46and caused widespread destruction in central Greece.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Heavy rain brought torrents of mud flowing through three
0:33:49 > 0:33:49towns near Athens.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52More than 1000 homes and businesses have been inundated
0:33:52 > 0:34:09and roads totally destroyed.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13The price for the Leonardo Da Vinci painting auction is the highest ever
0:34:13 > 0:34:18paid for a work of art. He died in 1519 and there are fewer than 20 of
0:34:18 > 0:34:19his paintings in existence.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23It's not often that people awarded the freedom of a town or city take
0:34:23 > 0:34:26the accolade literally, but this is the artist Harold Riley,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29who was trained by LS Lowry, celebrating being given the Freedom
0:34:29 > 0:34:33of Salford by exercising his ancient right to drive sheep
0:34:33 > 0:34:36through the city.
0:34:36 > 0:34:4182-year-old Mr Riley is famous for sketching world leaders,
0:34:41 > 0:34:44including Nelson Mandela.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48We understood he borrowed the sheep from an obliging farmer.
0:34:48 > 0:34:59John is here with the sport.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04Bradley Wiggins. Not the outcome I imagined he was hoping forward
0:35:04 > 0:35:09regards to this investigation, this year-long investigation into the
0:35:09 > 0:35:20mystery package. Any suggestions as to what was in their bust the UK
0:35:20 > 0:35:26anti-doping investigation has found they can't prove what was in there
0:35:26 > 0:35:30which they say was an over-the-counter decongestant. He
0:35:30 > 0:35:37was hoping for a proof of innocence. But he has not been able to get
0:35:37 > 0:35:44that. And just the lack of evidence to prove what was in there.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Sir Bradley Wiggins didn't hold back in his assesmnet
0:35:47 > 0:35:47of the
0:35:47 > 0:35:50investigation, which was unable to prove the contents
0:35:50 > 0:35:51of the jiffy bag.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Wiggins and his team claimed it contained a legal decongestant.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56But UKAD say they couldn't confirm or refute the claim,
0:35:56 > 0:36:00but that no charges will be made.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Wiggins responded on social media saying there are still questions
0:36:02 > 0:36:06to be answered about the way the investigation was handled.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Ireland's disappointing sporting week continues as they missed out
0:36:10 > 0:36:13on hosting the 2023 Rugby World Cup, France the surprise choice
0:36:13 > 0:36:14to host the event.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17South Africa were the favourites after they were recommended
0:36:17 > 0:36:19by World Rugby's board.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23But the French won the vote to host a tournament they last held in 2007.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26And having failed to qulaify for the football world cup,
0:36:26 > 0:36:34Ireland's bid was rejected in the first round.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Ferry disappointed a lot of workers come into this but when you come
0:36:39 > 0:36:43third of three, you have to take your medicine and I congratulate
0:36:43 > 0:36:47France, I'm sure they will do a great job in 2023, they are posted
0:36:47 > 0:36:51some big tournaments before so is congratulations to them and we will
0:36:51 > 0:36:55go home and Macau wounds.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58The BBC Price of Football study has found that the majority of ticket
0:36:58 > 0:37:03prices have been frozen or have fallen for a third year,
0:37:03 > 0:37:06yet a poll of young adult football fans suggests the cost
0:37:06 > 0:37:12is still putting them off.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14There could be a three way tussle for the services
0:37:14 > 0:37:16of the Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19The Scottish FA has made an approach to speak to him
0:37:19 > 0:37:21about the their vacancy as head coach.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24O'Neill took his country to Euro 2016 and narrowly missed out
0:37:24 > 0:37:25on World Cup qualification.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28The Irish FA has offered him an improved contract.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31And it's believed he's also in the frame for the manager's
0:37:31 > 0:37:31job at Sunderland.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Chelsea Ladies are through to the quarter finals
0:37:34 > 0:37:43of the Women's Champions League after beating Rosengard
0:37:43 > 0:37:444-0 on aggregate.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Chelsea already had a three-goal advantage from the first leg
0:37:46 > 0:37:50and sealed the tie thanks to Ji So Yun's second half strike
0:37:50 > 0:37:50in Sweden.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Peterborough United thrashed Tranmere Rovers to book their place
0:37:53 > 0:37:55in round two of the FA Cup.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Posh won 5-0 in a replay at Prenton Park, Danny Lloyd
0:37:57 > 0:38:00grabbing a hat-trick.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Roger Federer has over taken Tiger Woods as the world's highest
0:38:03 > 0:38:06earning athlete as a result of prize money alone.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09His last match at the ATP Tour Finals in London saw his career
0:38:09 > 0:38:23winnings reach £84 million.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26He'll add to that total this afternoon when he plays his last
0:38:26 > 0:38:28round-robin match against Marin Cilic.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Yesterday, at the O2 Arena, Grigor Dimitrov thrashed
0:38:30 > 0:38:33David Goffin to make it through to the last four
0:38:33 > 0:38:34on his Finals debut.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38The Bulgarian made it two wins out of two with a straight sets victory
0:38:38 > 0:38:38over the Belgian.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41In the doubles Britain's Jamie Murray and Brazil's Bruno Soares
0:38:41 > 0:38:44kept their hopes alive with a straight sets victory
0:38:44 > 0:38:45in their second match.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Defeat would have ended their chances of reaching
0:38:47 > 0:38:48the last four.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Just a week to go now before Joe Root and his team begin
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Just a week to go now before Joe Root and his team begin
0:38:55 > 0:38:58the defence of the Ashes, and there are still a number
0:38:58 > 0:39:02of places in the starting XI up for grabs - and a few of the batsmen
0:39:02 > 0:39:04have done themselves no harm this morning.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Alastair Cook is of course a shoo-in - he scored 70
0:39:07 > 0:39:08against a Cricket Australia XI.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11But his opening partner, Mark Stoneman, has been the start
0:39:11 > 0:39:15of the show, scoring a century as he tries to fill the problem spot
0:39:15 > 0:39:16in the batting line up.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17England are going well.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22Yesterday, we showed you this Peruvian Shamen helping the World
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Cup bid and surprise surprise, it went to Peru. You can see the
0:39:27 > 0:39:34celebration from the fans. Try to put up a New Zealand sign, putting a
0:39:34 > 0:39:40curse on the team. They want 2- nil overnight. New Zealand, it's fair to
0:39:40 > 0:39:45say, have loads of problems. The bus couldn't get into the stadium, their
0:39:45 > 0:39:57flight had to refuel. Perhaps that workers helped. Very weird.
0:39:57 > 0:40:04The main stories this morning:
0:40:04 > 0:40:07The effects of climate change are now inevitable even if carbon
0:40:07 > 0:40:13dioxide emissions are cut dramatically, a warning from
0:40:13 > 0:40:16scientists says. The painting by Leonardo Da Vinci has become the
0:40:16 > 0:40:21most expensive work of art ever sold, selling for £340 million.
0:40:21 > 0:40:2493-year-old Robert Mugabe is the oldest leader in the world,
0:40:24 > 0:40:28and has been in power since Zimbabwe won independence
0:40:28 > 0:40:29from the UK in 1980.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Yesterday, the army declared on state television that it had
0:40:32 > 0:40:34temporarily taken control of the country, to target what it
0:40:34 > 0:40:36called "criminals associated with the President."
0:40:36 > 0:40:41The move comes amid a bitter power struggle within Zimbabwe's ruling
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Zanu-PF party.
0:40:42 > 0:41:12Mr Mugabe's wife Grace has her husband's backing to take
0:41:12 > 0:41:13over the leadership.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Her main rival is the former vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17a one-time ally of the president.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20He was sacked last week at the request of Mrs Mugabe.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23It's widely thought that this week's events mark the start
0:41:23 > 0:41:25of a transition of power ahead of next year's
0:41:25 > 0:41:26elections in Zimbabwe.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29We're joined now from our London newsroom by Sue Onslow,
0:41:29 > 0:41:30from the Institute of Commonwealth Studies
0:41:30 > 0:41:31at the University of London.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35I understand he wrote a book about him that you sent to the publishers.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39We sent it on Tuesday midday and to our interest, we are now having to
0:41:39 > 0:41:43rewrite the end of it. We are having chats to the publisher right now.We
0:41:43 > 0:41:47were talking to our correspondence and he was setting the scene in
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Zimbabwe, saying it was quiet, strangely calm ahead of events that
0:41:50 > 0:41:54we're not quite sure when will take place but it seems pretty certain
0:41:54 > 0:41:58that Robert Mugabe will be gone as the head of the country. Is that
0:41:58 > 0:42:07what you envisioned?It is quite confused picture. There is a press
0:42:07 > 0:42:09conference scheduled for this afternoon but I also read that
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Twitter feed reports saying that Robert Mugabe is refusing to step
0:42:13 > 0:42:18down. We are in the endgame is certainly the things are still
0:42:18 > 0:42:25somewhat confused and it's by no means, should we say, regular. If he
0:42:25 > 0:42:29refuses to step down and hand over power, this puts the military in a
0:42:29 > 0:42:33very difficult position. They will have stepped against the
0:42:33 > 0:42:38commander-in-chief of the army. It will be a coup d'etat which they
0:42:38 > 0:42:44don't want to be labelled as such. This is a man who was immensely
0:42:44 > 0:42:50popular but the introduction or rise of this wife Grace has caused
0:42:50 > 0:42:54significant problems, particularly with his former vice president. How
0:42:54 > 0:43:01has this happened so quickly?It hasn't happened quickly and he
0:43:01 > 0:43:06remains popular among sections of the Zimbabwean population of the
0:43:06 > 0:43:09fast-tracked land reform programme which saw the reconfiguration of
0:43:09 > 0:43:18land ownership and access. What is going on in Zimbabwe is a power
0:43:18 > 0:43:22struggle within ZANU PF but it is also about the legacy in the
0:43:22 > 0:43:28revolution of the party. Grace Mugabe has been the toxic element.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33It's precisely because they are better rivalry with Emmerson
0:43:33 > 0:43:38Mnangagwa is about which direction to take the party going forward.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42What is life like for Zimbabweans under Robert Mugabe at the moment?
0:43:42 > 0:43:49It is very, very hard indeed. The informal economy outside the tax
0:43:49 > 0:44:09system is now where people operate. The broad picture across the
0:44:09 > 0:44:21country. There is a cash shortage. There is return inflation. It's a
0:44:21 > 0:44:28tough picture for Zimbabweans.This is the man whose lead the country
0:44:28 > 0:44:35for decades.I think that people are trying to persuade Robert Mugabe
0:44:35 > 0:44:42that he should -- he should step down. This be his greatest going
0:44:42 > 0:44:54forward. He is also convinced in the power of the commitment --
0:44:54 > 0:45:08manipulate. And this is for Zimbabwe and ZANU PF, the party that needs to
0:45:08 > 0:45:13be done. I really following what is going on closely indeed.Thank you
0:45:13 > 0:45:18very much.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26Good morning. Hopefully today has more sunshine breaking through the
0:45:26 > 0:45:35cloud. A grey start. But pretty mild to Thursday morning. These are the

0:47:26 > 0:47:34showers. A windy day. Adding to the chill. Further south, the wind not
0:47:34 > 0:47:40as strong but much more cool than in recent days. The upside is you have

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Nothing can undo the damage done by the terrible fire
0:48:18 > 0:48:21at the Grenfell Tower, but one mum from Cornwall has tried
0:48:21 > 0:48:24to brighten the lives of some of those caught in the tragedy.

0:48:30 > 0:48:31Frankie Mcamley reports.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35A birthday boy without a care in the world. But the reality is his life
0:48:35 > 0:48:42was uprooted by the fire at Grenfell Tower. Now, thanks to a unique
0:48:42 > 0:48:47project, his family are on holiday in Cornwall. How has your day been?
0:48:47 > 0:48:57Good.Yeah? Your birthday? And how has it been in Cornwall? Good?Yes.
0:48:57 > 0:49:03He has lost his best friend in the fire. So young, he struggled to
0:49:03 > 0:49:12understand.I told him that she is in the sky, she cannot see you. She
0:49:12 > 0:49:25cannot forget you. Every day he would say did you see me?
0:49:28 > 0:49:41It is hard for me.The family lived in a block next to Grenfell Tower
0:49:41 > 0:49:44and cannot go back. They have now been staying in a hotel for more
0:49:44 > 0:49:50than five months. This was their only chance for a break thanks to
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Cornish businesses offering free holidays to those struggling to
0:49:52 > 0:49:58cope.What can we do? We can do this. What have we got? Beautiful
0:49:58 > 0:50:02surroundings. We don't have much money, but we give what we have got.
0:50:02 > 0:50:08And everyone has come together.The group have now helped nearly 200
0:50:08 > 0:50:14people get away, as well as sightseeing and beach trips, they
0:50:14 > 0:50:19have had grief counselling as well. It is a chance for the families to
0:50:19 > 0:50:23make the ray new memories, and for many of the children here, this is
0:50:23 > 0:50:27the first time they have surfed, the first time they have ever been in
0:50:27 > 0:50:30the sea, and their parents tell me the first time some of them have
0:50:30 > 0:50:38smiled in a very long time.This is just amazing. People that don't even
0:50:38 > 0:50:50know ours, they just come and tell us come here and surf. -- us. The
0:50:50 > 0:50:53holiday ends with a celebration.But like many here, his sister does not
0:50:53 > 0:50:59want to go back.It is slightly scary. You just feel like the
0:50:59 > 0:51:06building will fall and you. If someone talks about it I just don't
0:51:06 > 0:51:14want to talk about it.Make a wish! He just wishes he had his friend
0:51:14 > 0:51:21back. Frank McCamley, BBC News, in Cornwall.
0:51:21 > 0:51:31Lovely to see some peace going to those families. And now we will talk
0:51:31 > 0:51:34about football matches. We have some figures.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37These are the findings from the annual survey done by BBC
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Sport, look at everything from the cost of the ticket
0:51:40 > 0:51:42to the pie at half-time.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45The majority, 80%, of Premier League ticket prices have been frozen
0:51:45 > 0:51:46or reduced this season.
0:51:46 > 0:51:57They're still not cheap though, usually between £400 and £800.
0:51:57 > 0:51:58Why?
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Well, clubs are earning big money from selling TV rights.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03That raised more than £5bn from UK broadcasters and even more
0:52:03 > 0:52:04for overseas coverage.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06The cheapest single day out is at Liverpool,
0:52:06 > 0:52:08where a ticket, pie, tea and programme could cost
0:52:08 > 0:52:10as little as £18.40.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13But over half of young adults say they've stopped going to matches
0:52:13 > 0:52:28completely or go to fewer games because its getting too expensive.
0:52:28 > 0:52:33Kieran Maguire is a sports finance expert at Liverpool University.
0:52:33 > 0:52:40Good morning. This is good news?It is good news for fans. Clubs realise
0:52:40 > 0:52:44they have so many sources of income so it is unnecessary to squeeze them
0:52:44 > 0:52:50for extra cash. The wages of footballers are still going up, but
0:52:50 > 0:52:56they are using football deals with television partners to find that. --
0:52:56 > 0:53:04fund.What are the proportions?It varies from club to club. The
0:53:04 > 0:53:08average in the Premier League is £1 in every six comes from the fan
0:53:08 > 0:53:15base. The championship, the lower leagues, that becomes more higher.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19Some clubs like rooster palace in the Premier League, they have less
0:53:19 > 0:53:22than 10% of total income coming from the fan base.It begs the question
0:53:22 > 0:53:30about whether fans are needed to turn up.They need them for a
0:53:30 > 0:53:34variety of reasons. If you are selling a product on television, the
0:53:34 > 0:53:37atmosphere is pretty impressive. That is very good when you try to
0:53:37 > 0:53:40sell the product overseas. And if you talk to footballers and
0:53:40 > 0:53:46managers, the atmosphere of the fans does create extra buzz and
0:53:46 > 0:53:50adrenaline in the last five minutes pushing for a goal with the fans
0:53:50 > 0:53:55behind you.There is an important role for football tourism. It plays
0:53:55 > 0:54:02a big part in revenue.Yes. While clubs are very reliant on season
0:54:02 > 0:54:06ticket sales, they are now holding them back for people travelling from
0:54:06 > 0:54:10overseas. Clubs are now getting into deals with travel agents, hotels,
0:54:10 > 0:54:17and so on, to offer a whole package. And if you get more money coming
0:54:17 > 0:54:24once or twice a season, that will subsidise them.We talk about the
0:54:24 > 0:54:28cost still being high. Many people will watch this and say if you do
0:54:28 > 0:54:33not like what it costs, don't go and don't engage, would they have a
0:54:33 > 0:54:40point?They do, but they don't understand football. It is a
0:54:40 > 0:54:43religion, it is something you have to do. You have to support your
0:54:43 > 0:54:51team. I travel 500 miles round trip to see my team every week. York Hall
0:54:51 > 0:55:01fan base Dropped -- your friendship revolves around it.? And what about
0:55:01 > 0:55:06those younger people feeling priced out? Football is one of those things
0:55:06 > 0:55:10where you need to get them at a young age and it follows through
0:55:10 > 0:55:20life. Is that damaging?There is a cliff edge. They are good at pricing
0:55:20 > 0:55:25tickets for children. And then you reach 18 and the discounts stop. You
0:55:25 > 0:55:29still have people entering the job market with student debt saving up
0:55:29 > 0:55:35for a house. To be able to pay £40 to go to a football match on top of
0:55:35 > 0:55:39that becomes prohibitive.That is interesting. Thank you for
0:55:39 > 0:55:44explaining all of that. If you want to look at the price of football at
0:55:44 > 0:55:53your club, there are full details on the BBC sport website.
0:55:53 > 0:55:57Bbc.co.uk/sport.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00You can enter your team's name into the calculator to find just how
0:56:00 > 0:56:04much you might end up spending, and how it compares to rival teams
0:56:04 > 0:56:05and so on.
0:56:05 > 0:56:11I wonder if that would prompt people to change for ball games.He is
0:56:11 > 0:56:18saying no. -- football.I don't understand the religion thing.You
0:56:18 > 0:56:22are one of these people that does not get it. Thank you.
0:56:22 > 0:56:30What else is coming up this morning? Down they go.Down they go!

0:56:41 > 1:00:07When you say stick on camera, it sounds
1:00:07 > 1:00:08But staying dry.

1:00:44 > 1:00:45Hello - this is Breakfast,

1:00:47 > 1:00:49Doubt surrounds the future of Zimbabwe's long time leader,
1:00:49 > 1:00:52Robert Mugabe, after he was placed under house arrest by
1:00:52 > 1:00:53the country's military.
1:00:53 > 1:00:55Envoys from neighbouring South Africa arrive in the country
1:00:55 > 1:00:57to clarify the situation amid international calls for calm
1:00:57 > 1:01:07and greater democracy.
1:01:18 > 1:01:19Good morning.
1:01:19 > 1:01:21It's Thursday 16 November.
1:01:21 > 1:01:22Also this morning:
1:01:22 > 1:01:25Scientists will warn world leaders that the effects of climate change
1:01:25 > 1:01:28are inevitable, even if major cuts are made to carbon dioxide
1:01:28 > 1:01:33emissions.
1:01:33 > 1:01:39Leonardo's Salvator Mundi selling here.
1:01:39 > 1:01:40400 million is the bid.
1:01:40 > 1:01:41The piece is sold!

1:01:44 > 1:01:56in the '50s, goes under the hammer in New York for £340 million.
1:01:56 > 1:02:01We are expecting a big fall in profits from the Royal Mail, despite
1:02:01 > 1:02:03cost cuts.

1:02:04 > 1:02:07Sir Bradley Wiggins says his life's been a living hell as it's revealed
1:02:07 > 1:02:09he'll face no charges following an investigation
1:02:09 > 1:02:13into the contents of a mystery package delivered to him at the end
1:02:13 > 1:02:14of a race in 2011.
1:02:14 > 1:02:16And Matt has the weather:
1:02:16 > 1:02:18Your Thursday start, fairly mild but there is colder air
1:02:18 > 1:02:22on the way to the next few days.
1:02:22 > 1:02:26Bright sunny skies, though, and more details coming up.
1:02:26 > 1:02:27First, our main story.
1:02:27 > 1:02:30The future of Zimbabwe's long time leader, Robert Mugabe remains
1:02:30 > 1:02:32unclear this morning, after he was placed under house
1:02:32 > 1:02:39arrest by the country's military.
1:02:39 > 1:02:41Two envoys from South Africa have arrived in the capital,
1:02:41 > 1:02:44Harare, to try to hold talks with the 93-year-old
1:02:44 > 1:02:47and with the country's generals - who deny there's been a coup.
1:02:47 > 1:02:51It's been seen by many as a move to prevent Mr Mugabe's wife Grace
1:02:51 > 1:02:52from succeeding him in power.
1:02:52 > 1:02:53Laura Westbrook reports.
1:02:53 > 1:02:56What would have been unthinkable only a few weeks ago has happened:
1:02:56 > 1:02:59Robert Mugabe, the world's oldest leader, has lost control
1:02:59 > 1:03:01of the country he has ruled for 37 years.
1:03:01 > 1:03:05The military denied staging a coup, but it is clear that Robert Mugabe
1:03:05 > 1:03:06is no longer calling the shots.
1:03:06 > 1:03:10Zimbabwe's ruling party, the ZANU-PF, were emphatic.
1:03:10 > 1:03:13He's the man in charge of Zimbabwe, officially, right now.
1:03:13 > 1:03:14A lot has happened.
1:03:14 > 1:03:21But what has happened is a not coup.
1:03:21 > 1:03:23The language is important, and key regional bloc,
1:03:23 > 1:03:26the African Union, has given its full support
1:03:26 > 1:03:36to the country's legal situations.
1:03:36 > 1:03:47Zanu-PF.
1:03:47 > 1:03:50On one side, this man, Emmerson Mnangagwa, and on this side
1:03:50 > 1:03:52Robert Mugabe's wife, Grace, one of the most powerful
1:03:52 > 1:03:53politicians in the country.
1:03:53 > 1:03:57It is believed her being groomed to succeed Mr Mugabe has
1:03:57 > 1:04:00sparked this takeover.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03There has to be a transition away from Robert Mugabe but any
1:04:03 > 1:04:16transition needs to be credible.
1:04:16 > 1:04:18Zimbabweans are waking up to a country that
1:04:18 > 1:04:19has changed dramatically.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22But whether it is the change they had been hoping
1:04:22 > 1:04:23for is far from clear.
1:04:23 > 1:04:27Laura Westbrook, BBC News.
1:04:27 > 1:04:33Our correspondence is in Zimbabwe. Tell us what is happening.People
1:04:33 > 1:04:40have been going back to school, state television has been urging
1:04:40 > 1:04:48civil servants to go back to work. There is uncertainty as to who is in
1:04:48 > 1:04:52charge of the country but what is clear is the military as can -- is
1:04:52 > 1:04:57in control but President Mugabe remains in power so the next day,
1:04:57 > 1:05:00the next days are going to be very important in providing direction for
1:05:00 > 1:05:05this country. The African Union as was the United Kingdom have said
1:05:05 > 1:05:09they need to return to constitutional order so they are
1:05:09 > 1:05:16very keen to see the situation in Zimbabwe remains stable and clear
1:05:16 > 1:05:21going forward.Thank you very much.
1:05:21 > 1:05:24The impacts of climate change are already inevitable,
1:05:24 > 1:05:26even if the world immediately and radically cuts its carbon
1:05:26 > 1:05:28dioxide emissions, a new study claims.
1:05:28 > 1:05:30An international research programme called HELIX says sea
1:05:30 > 1:05:33levels will rise by as much as 50 centimetres by the end
1:05:33 > 1:05:34of the century.
1:05:34 > 1:05:37Its findings are being presented at the UN climate talks
1:05:37 > 1:05:43in the Germany city of Bonn, as Andy Moore reports.
1:05:43 > 1:05:45This latest report has been presented to an international
1:05:45 > 1:05:48conference on climate change in Bonn, where world leaders have
1:05:48 > 1:05:51already begun to gather.
1:05:51 > 1:05:54Whatever they can do to restrict carbon, restrict carbon dioxide
1:05:54 > 1:05:55restriction, climate change cannot be avoided.
1:05:55 > 1:05:59Carbon dioxide molecules will warm the atmosphere
1:05:59 > 1:06:07for hundreds of years.
1:06:07 > 1:06:10That extra heat means the sea water steadily expands.
1:06:10 > 1:06:13So the researchers can say with some confidence that half a million
1:06:13 > 1:06:16people in low-lying Bangladesh will be affected by rising sea levels.
1:06:16 > 1:06:18In a worst-case scenario, with rising emissions,
1:06:18 > 1:06:26that figure could reach 12 million by the end of the century.
1:06:26 > 1:06:29Some tropical areas already suffer levels of heat bringing a very high
1:06:29 > 1:06:31risk of human harm - the so-called heat stress.
1:06:31 > 1:06:34The researchers say that with two degrees warming,
1:06:34 > 1:06:37most of of the Indian subcontinent and large areas of Africa
1:06:37 > 1:06:40would get these conditions.
1:06:40 > 1:06:43Rainfall and river levels are hard to predict,
1:06:43 > 1:06:48but scientists say they are confident they will be increased
1:06:48 > 1:06:50flooding on some major rivers, even if emissions
1:06:50 > 1:06:52are strictly reduced.
1:06:52 > 1:06:55And there is no sign of that happening at the moment.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58The conference has already been told that global emissions of carbon
1:06:58 > 1:07:01dioxide, are forecast to rise for the first time in four
1:07:01 > 1:07:10years in 2017.
1:07:10 > 1:07:17That is largely due to the use of coal in China's booming economy.
1:07:17 > 1:07:20The number of guns, drugs and fake goods being smuggled into the UK
1:07:20 > 1:07:22could rise after Brexit, unless a "significant" number
1:07:22 > 1:07:24of extra border staff are recruited.
1:07:24 > 1:07:26That's according to a cross-party group of MPs.
1:07:26 > 1:07:28A spokesman for the Government said it
1:07:28 > 1:07:31will ensure that resources were available to run an effective
1:07:31 > 1:07:31customs system once Britain leaves the EU,
1:07:39 > 1:07:43The ball as staff -- the border. Often do customs checks of the
1:07:43 > 1:07:47border. Those cheques are going to increase, there is a real risk that
1:07:47 > 1:07:50border Force staff will be pulled up security checks and illegal
1:07:50 > 1:07:54immigration checks and we cannot have failings in Brexit
1:07:54 > 1:07:56implementation putting our security at risk.
1:07:56 > 1:07:58Plans to encourage housing associations to borrow money
1:07:58 > 1:08:01to invest in new homes are being announced by the government.
1:08:01 > 1:08:04It comes after Theresa May pledged to kickstart
1:08:04 > 1:08:12a new generation of council house building last month.
1:08:12 > 1:08:15Labour says there is no coherent plan to address
1:08:15 > 1:08:16the "housing crisis".
1:08:16 > 1:08:18Let's get more on this with our political correspondent
1:08:18 > 1:08:24Leila Nathoo.
1:08:24 > 1:08:31Facebook and Snapchat are looking into cyber bullying. They will
1:08:31 > 1:08:35launch a new code of conduct to the Internet later today urging young
1:08:35 > 1:08:41people. Urging young people to stop, speak and support each other on
1:08:41 > 1:08:46line.
1:08:46 > 1:08:49A 500-year-old painting of Christ, believed to have been created
1:08:49 > 1:08:52by Leonardo da Vinci, has been sold in New York
1:08:52 > 1:08:54for a record 300 million pounds.
1:08:54 > 1:08:57The price for Salvator Mundi - or "Saviour of the World" -
1:08:57 > 1:08:59is the highest ever paid for a painting.
1:08:59 > 1:09:06Here's our arts correspondent, Vincent Dowd.
1:09:06 > 1:09:09Many thought the painting would sell the $100 million,
1:09:09 > 1:09:10around £76 million.
1:09:10 > 1:09:12That was likely to be exceeded comfortably,
1:09:12 > 1:09:20but nobody could guess how comfortable it.
1:09:20 > 1:09:23Dating from around 1506, the image of Jesus Christ is thought
1:09:23 > 1:09:25to have been created for the French royal family.
1:09:25 > 1:09:28Disastrously restored in 1958, it was auctioned in London
1:09:28 > 1:09:35than for a mere £45, at a time most experts thought
1:09:35 > 1:09:39it was by a student of Leonardo, not by the man himself.
1:09:39 > 1:09:40Let's open this at 70, 75...
1:09:40 > 1:09:43Last night, the tension was obvious as Christie's auctioneer kept
1:09:43 > 1:09:44the bids flowing.
1:09:44 > 1:09:46$100 million was reached quickly, than $200 million.
1:09:46 > 1:09:49$190 million is bid.
1:09:49 > 1:09:50$200 million is bid.
1:09:50 > 1:09:53That broke the previous record, held by Picasso's Women of Algiers,
1:09:53 > 1:09:55sold for $179 million in 2015.
1:09:55 > 1:09:57I am selling at $240 million.
1:09:57 > 1:10:02Can you give me $290 million Alex?
1:10:02 > 1:10:09300.
1:10:09 > 1:10:10$300 million.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12It seemed that bidding had reached its climax.
1:10:12 > 1:10:28Until the buyer, who was on the phone, was tempted
1:10:28 > 1:10:30to the extraordinary final amount.
1:10:30 > 1:10:32$400 million is the bid, and the pieces sold.
1:10:32 > 1:10:34It is not known who the buyer was.
1:10:34 > 1:10:38The sale shows the importance of rarity - this could be the last
1:10:38 > 1:10:41Leonardo to ever reach auction, and almost half a millennium
1:10:41 > 1:10:45after his death, he showed us he is still the greatest star
1:10:45 > 1:10:47in the art world.
1:10:47 > 1:10:50Astronomers say they've discovered a planet about the size of Earth,
1:10:50 > 1:10:52with a mild climate which could harbour life.
1:10:52 > 1:10:55It's called Ross 128b and it's 11 light years away.
1:10:55 > 1:10:57Researchers believe the planet's temperature could range
1:10:57 > 1:10:59from -60 to 20 celcius, making it a promising place
1:10:59 > 1:11:15to search for life.
1:11:15 > 1:11:17Plans to encourage housing associations to borrow money
1:11:17 > 1:11:20to invest in new homes are being announced by the government.
1:11:20 > 1:11:22It comes after Theresa May pledged to kickstart
1:11:22 > 1:11:25a new generation of council house building last month.
1:11:25 > 1:11:27Labour says there is no coherent plan to address
1:11:27 > 1:11:28the "housing crisis".
1:11:28 > 1:11:32The Shadow Chancellor joins us. If we can focus on the Budget next
1:11:32 > 1:11:45week. The reason is they want to allow them to raise money more
1:11:45 > 1:11:56cheaply.You remember it was moved onto the balance sheet by the ONS a
1:11:56 > 1:12:08short while ago. A large-scale investment that we need. We have a
1:12:08 > 1:12:15housing crisis that we have not seen since the Second World War. It is
1:12:15 > 1:12:22below what it was in the 1920s. It is not just me saying that. It is
1:12:22 > 1:12:26government supporters and government MPs and ministers. I don't think
1:12:26 > 1:12:32this will allow anything on the scale.Just to be clear. If it
1:12:32 > 1:12:41works, if that proposal are changing that debt, moving from the balance
1:12:41 > 1:12:46sheets, it works, it means housing associations can build more houses,
1:12:46 > 1:12:55that's good, isn't it?But it won't be on any scale. It will be like the
1:12:55 > 1:12:58Tory conference which will not tackle the real problem that we've
1:12:58 > 1:13:02got. The real problem we got is seven years of lack of investment in
1:13:02 > 1:13:06housing. What we need is a large-scale housing programme I
1:13:06 > 1:13:11think led by local councils and if the government can commit towards
1:13:11 > 1:13:15that, we might be able to start tackling the housing crisis that
1:13:15 > 1:13:19we've got. I then thinks this --I don't think this will go anywhere
1:13:19 > 1:13:24near that.How many houses would you build, would a Labour government
1:13:24 > 1:13:30build?We need a million new houses under the next period of government.
1:13:30 > 1:13:36100,000 affordable houses. Social housing each year. We think we can
1:13:36 > 1:13:42build that on the basis of local authorities having the powers now to
1:13:42 > 1:13:48get out there and start building again. This isn't rocket science.
1:13:48 > 1:13:53This is what were done in the past. We've allowed councils to have the
1:13:53 > 1:13:59resources and build the homes that we need. In that way, we can get
1:13:59 > 1:14:02genuinely affordable homes that people can pay.Where is the money
1:14:02 > 1:14:14come from?In the short-term, it is a matter of boring. It pays to
1:14:14 > 1:14:18itself at the end of the day. When you build these homes and put people
1:14:18 > 1:14:23to work, that is the first thing. In addition to that, people start
1:14:23 > 1:14:28paying the rent. It is cheaper, it is cheaper than paying out large
1:14:28 > 1:14:31amounts of housing benefits to private landlords to house people,
1:14:31 > 1:14:37often in not very good conditions, and it's also cheaper in dealing
1:14:37 > 1:14:41with the real problem that come from homelessness and drop sleeping.
1:14:41 > 1:14:48Which has doubled in our cities. Some people immediately hear what
1:14:48 > 1:14:54you just said and will think, all you are doing is borrowing more
1:14:54 > 1:15:00money to solve genuine problem that everyone recognises. Why not raise
1:15:00 > 1:15:07taxes. Do both things happen at once? What is the real answer?For
1:15:07 > 1:15:11long-term project, the government will go out and borrow. It's not
1:15:11 > 1:15:16just me saying this. The Secretary of State, the conservative Secretary
1:15:16 > 1:15:25of State, he supported our plans. He said exactly the same as me. Now
1:15:25 > 1:15:31interest rates are so low, now is the time to build the homes that we
1:15:31 > 1:15:37need. You cut the costs of the homelessness crisis that we have got
1:15:37 > 1:15:41at the moment. That so many people are now suffering as a result of
1:15:41 > 1:15:46that. It's just sensible government. Rather than these mealymouthed
1:15:46 > 1:15:50measures that the government is bringing forward. We need something
1:15:50 > 1:15:55on scale. We've done it in the past. Both sides have done it. It's
1:15:55 > 1:16:00nothing new. We need to get on with the job. We are appealing to the
1:16:00 > 1:16:04Chancellor. Austerity hasn't worked and when it comes to investing in
1:16:04 > 1:16:09something like housing, you need a long-term plan.
1:16:14 > 1:16:17Many people are talking about Theresa May's government being weak
1:16:17 > 1:16:25due to a number of factors. How does that affect this budget?My worry is
1:16:25 > 1:16:32this budget will be more about saving her job and the payment's job
1:16:32 > 1:16:35rather than addressing the real needs of the country. -- Philip
1:16:35 > 1:16:44Hammond's. We have had many lines about public services. 5000 head
1:16:44 > 1:16:47teachers writing to the Prime Minister to say we have to stop
1:16:47 > 1:16:51cutting education. We have had schools asking parents for
1:16:51 > 1:16:56donations. We have had the NHS mentioning the scale of their
1:16:56 > 1:17:00crisis. The person responsible for advising the government on terrorism
1:17:00 > 1:17:07said we cannot combat terrorism with this amount of police cuts. What we
1:17:07 > 1:17:11are saying is we need an emergency budget. We need an emergency budget
1:17:11 > 1:17:16to tackle the very emergencies the public services are having to
1:17:16 > 1:17:21address. This must not be a budget about stunts, something that will
1:17:21 > 1:17:26just try to protect Theresa May in her job. It has to be a serious
1:17:26 > 1:17:30budget which looks at the real issues facing the community so we
1:17:30 > 1:17:38can start investing in the community and austerity. The first way to do
1:17:38 > 1:17:43that is to stop tax cuts on the rich.Thank you for your time, John
1:17:43 > 1:17:49McDonnell. Let's find out what is
1:17:49 > 1:17:50rich.Thank you for your time, John McDonnell. Let's find out what is
1:17:50 > 1:17:58happening with the weather. Good morning.Good morning.We have dried
1:17:58 > 1:18:07conditions on the A14. Cloudy skies overhead. These are the
1:18:07 > 1:18:13temperatures. A mild start to Thursday morning. The exception is
1:18:13 > 1:18:16Scotland and Northern Ireland, dropping to single figures. Colder
1:18:16 > 1:18:26air pushing in. Going south. Clear it in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
1:18:26 > 1:18:32The morning rush-hour, north and west Wales, increasing. Be prepared
1:18:32 > 1:18:42for rain. Gusty winds as well. Patchy rain in the far south-east of
1:18:42 > 1:18:47England. That will clear. Elsewhere, cloud breaks up. Sunny spells for a
1:18:47 > 1:18:52time. Not always lifting temperatures. Patchy rain to come
1:18:52 > 1:18:56through here. Eventually into the afternoon, East Anglia and the
1:18:56 > 1:19:02south-west, a weather front will be sitting there. The rest will be dry.
1:19:02 > 1:19:0914 is the high. Temperatures drop single figures for most of the
1:19:09 > 1:19:12afternoon. Feeling cold in Scotland with a mixture of strong to gale
1:19:12 > 1:19:18force winds. Some of the rain will be heavy with sleet and snow in
1:19:18 > 1:19:23higher grounds. The showers will continue through the north through
1:19:23 > 1:19:26the night. A breeze will make you feel chilly. Light winds. Clear
1:19:26 > 1:19:34skies. Temperatures falling away sharply. A night with towns and city
1:19:34 > 1:19:38centres just above freezing. Friday morning rush-hour. There could be
1:19:38 > 1:19:47widespread frost to start the day. And then a dry and sunny day on
1:19:47 > 1:19:53Friday. The showers most frequent with gusty winds in Scotland. A
1:19:53 > 1:19:56mixture of rain and hail and sleet and snow. The brightest conditions
1:19:56 > 1:20:01to the east of Scotland. Single figure temperatures for the rest.
1:20:01 > 1:20:07Feeling substantially cold. You will get more sunshine. Cold air trying
1:20:07 > 1:20:12to hold on into the weekend. A battle for the next few days. What
1:20:12 > 1:20:20will wind? Mild air from the south-west? Cloud in the North Wales
1:20:20 > 1:20:25and patchy rain. It will go south through the day. Cold air trying to
1:20:25 > 1:20:28establish itself in eastern areas with bright weather. Sunday. The
1:20:28 > 1:20:35mild air tries again from the west. Not too many inroads. Hopefully on
1:20:35 > 1:20:40Sunday, reasonably bright. Hopefully. Thank you very much.
1:20:40 > 1:20:49Hopefully. You just said to me a moment ago, some figures are easier
1:20:49 > 1:20:54to work through than others. You have been talking about the Royal
1:20:54 > 1:21:01Mail.Yeah. Very complicated. Pages and pages have been released. I have
1:21:01 > 1:21:06been through the numbers. They tell us a familiar picture for the Royal
1:21:06 > 1:21:23Mail. Profits down. Reining in costs. We are sending fewer mail.
1:21:23 > 1:21:29Profits are down 1%. They got a bit of a boost from the general election
1:21:29 > 1:21:34because of the literature. That helps results. They are looking
1:21:34 > 1:21:44towards Christmas. That is the busiest time of the year. They will
1:21:44 > 1:21:47hire another 20,000 temporary staff and have six new sorting centres.
1:21:47 > 1:21:51That is the focus. But there are many issues. They have issues with
1:21:51 > 1:21:57the unions and the pension pot and changes to the way they work. A big
1:21:57 > 1:22:07reform going on. The Royal Mail was privatised in 2013. The latest
1:22:07 > 1:22:16figures suggest they are doing OK. Parcel figures up 4%. Post down.I
1:22:16 > 1:22:21thought the parcel figures were the area of concern because of the
1:22:21 > 1:22:27competition.Yes. They want it back. They have a lucrative contract with
1:22:27 > 1:22:30Amazon at the moment which is helping to boost figures. You are
1:22:30 > 1:22:35correct. So much competition is coming in from private operators.
1:22:35 > 1:22:38They always talk about the universal obligation to deliver to every house
1:22:38 > 1:22:44in the UK. Private companies do not have to do that. But if you have a
1:22:44 > 1:22:49first-class stamp a letter it has to go anywhere you want. It doesn't
1:22:49 > 1:22:54matter whether it is a city centre or remote. Yes, parcel business is
1:22:54 > 1:23:03doing well. Thank you very much.
1:23:03 > 1:23:06The husband of the British-Iranian woman jailed in Tehran says he's had
1:23:06 > 1:23:09positive and constructive talks with the Foreign Secretary,
1:23:09 > 1:23:10Boris Johnson, but has expressed growing concern
1:23:10 > 1:23:12for his wife's welfare.
1:23:12 > 1:23:15Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been held in Iran since April 2016
1:23:15 > 1:23:19after being accused of spying, charges she denies.
1:23:19 > 1:23:21We can now speak to Homa Hoodfar,
1:23:21 > 1:23:24who met Nazanin last summer when she was also imprisoned in
1:23:24 > 1:23:25Iran.
1:23:25 > 1:23:29She's since been released, and joins us from her home in Montreal.
1:23:29 > 1:23:35Thank you very much for talking to us on the BBC today. Can you tell
1:23:35 > 1:23:40us, you saw Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in prison. Can you
1:23:40 > 1:23:44tell us the conditions of that prison and how much interaction you
1:23:44 > 1:23:56had?In the detention centre is where I met her. They kept us
1:23:56 > 1:24:00separately. They don't put people together. A week after I was there
1:24:00 > 1:24:19they moved me from where I was to a cell with three other people, two
1:24:19 > 1:24:22men, and Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. I had not met her before. She told
1:24:22 > 1:24:30me about her daughter. She was talking and crying. But at that
1:24:30 > 1:24:34moment she was hopeful she would be released soon because they had
1:24:34 > 1:24:46promised to if she signed many documents they would clear her case.
1:24:46 > 1:24:53I was a bit suspicious of that. I guess they used her daughter to get
1:24:53 > 1:24:59her to sign documents. She was also talking about having plans to come
1:24:59 > 1:25:07back to Britain and have a second child and have a family. The last
1:25:07 > 1:25:14thing she expected was to have this problem of being arrested in Iran.
1:25:14 > 1:25:21We have spoken to Richard
1:25:21 > 1:25:25problem of being arrested in Iran. We have spoken to Richard. He spoke
1:25:25 > 1:25:28about her mental well-being. Do you understand how that could
1:25:28 > 1:25:36deteriorate in that prison?Yes. Of course, for her, even when I met
1:25:36 > 1:25:43her, she was at a stage of wanting to be released in a few weeks. But
1:25:43 > 1:25:47at that stage her hair was falling out and she was very upset. As she
1:25:47 > 1:25:56talked about her daughter she was crying. Later on, I actually saw
1:25:56 > 1:26:03her. We were taken to the court together. We were not allowed to
1:26:03 > 1:26:09talk to each other but I saw her. I could hear the judge talking to her.
1:26:09 > 1:26:14At that stage they had already given her ten years imprisonment. She was
1:26:14 > 1:26:25crying. She was talking to the judge. She was allowed to write
1:26:25 > 1:26:32notes on the verdict. Normally they do not give it back to the lawyer
1:26:32 > 1:26:39and the person convicted. She was making notes. The next time I saw
1:26:39 > 1:26:44her she had already appealed and was given five years. She was crying.
1:26:44 > 1:26:51After they removed her from my cell, she was staying with one other
1:26:51 > 1:26:59woman. Later, she was moved with me a couple of days. I heard from her
1:26:59 > 1:27:08that she was very depressed and very upset and crying. And she was still
1:27:08 > 1:27:16losing hair. She could not sleep, apparently. She couldn't believe she
1:27:16 > 1:27:22could not see her daughter for this long-time. It was all up setting,
1:27:22 > 1:27:36not just for her, but for all of the women with her. -- upsetting. When
1:27:36 > 1:27:40you are in a detention centre you are in no contact with anyone but
1:27:40 > 1:27:46those who are we you. The conditions were difficult, especially for her,
1:27:46 > 1:27:54as she had missed her daughter. Thank you very much for explaining
1:27:54 > 1:28:01and retelling your experiences while you were in prison with her. Talking
1:28:01 > 1:31:23to us from her home in Montreal.
1:31:23 > 1:31:25I am back with the latest in half an hour.
1:31:25 > 1:31:28Plenty more on the website of the usual address.
1:31:28 > 1:31:29We will see you soon.
1:31:29 > 1:31:30Goodbye.
1:31:36 > 1:31:39Hello this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie
1:31:39 > 1:31:42Stayt.
1:31:42 > 1:31:45We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,
1:31:45 > 1:31:50but also on Breakfast this morning:
1:31:45 > 1:31:50
1:31:50 > 1:31:54Two envoys from South Africa have arrived in the capital of Zimbabwe
1:31:54 > 1:31:58to hold talks with the country's generals who deny their has been a
1:31:58 > 1:32:00coup.
1:32:00 > 1:32:02The impacts of climate change are already inevitable,
1:32:02 > 1:32:04even if the world immediately and radically cuts its carbon
1:32:04 > 1:32:07dioxide emissions, a new study claims. An international research
1:32:07 > 1:32:10programme called HELIX says sea levels will rise by as much as 50
1:32:10 > 1:32:12centimetres by the end of the century.
1:32:12 > 1:32:16Its findings are being presented at the UN climate talks in Germany,
1:32:16 > 1:32:19where world leaders will discuss the future of the Paris accord,
1:32:19 > 1:32:22the climate change treaty that the United States says it wants
1:32:22 > 1:32:23to withdraw from.
1:32:23 > 1:32:25Plans to encourage housing associations to borrow money
1:32:25 > 1:32:27to invest in new homes will be announced later.
1:32:27 > 1:32:31The government is to wipe about £70 billion worth of debt from housing
1:32:31 > 1:32:34associations' balance sheets, allowing them to raise
1:32:34 > 1:32:35money more cheaply.
1:32:35 > 1:32:38It comes after Theresa May pledged to kickstart a new generation
1:32:38 > 1:32:48of council house building last month.
1:32:48 > 1:32:51But Labour said there was no coherent plan to address
1:32:51 > 1:32:55the housing crisis.
1:32:55 > 1:32:59The real problem we have a lack of investment in housing and we need a
1:32:59 > 1:33:02large-scale housing programme led by local councils and if the government
1:33:02 > 1:33:06can commit towards that, we might be able to start tackling the housing
1:33:06 > 1:33:12crisis. I don't think this will go anywhere near that.
1:33:12 > 1:33:15The number of guns, drugs and fake goods being smuggled into the UK
1:33:15 > 1:33:17could rise after Brexit, unless a "significant number"
1:33:17 > 1:33:21of extra border staff are recruited - that's according to a cross-party
1:33:21 > 1:33:21group of MPs.
1:33:21 > 1:33:24A spokesman for the Government said it will ensure that resources
1:33:24 > 1:33:27were available to run an effective customs system once Britain leaves
1:33:27 > 1:33:31the EU, but the Home Affairs Select Committee says ministers must draw
1:33:31 > 1:33:39up contingency plans to prevent long delays at ports and airports.
1:33:39 > 1:33:42Thousands of women with previously untreatable breast cancer are to
1:33:42 > 1:33:47have access to new drugs. They have been shown to slow down advanced
1:33:47 > 1:33:53cancer and have been approved for NHS use in England. A new agreement
1:33:53 > 1:34:01on prices negotiated with the manufacturer.
1:34:01 > 1:34:04A 500-year-old painting of Christ, believed to have been created
1:34:04 > 1:34:07by Leonardo da Vinci, has been sold in New York
1:34:07 > 1:34:08for a record 300 million pounds.
1:34:08 > 1:34:12The price for Salvator Mundi - or "Saviour of the World" -
1:34:12 > 1:34:19is the highest ever paid for a painting.
1:34:19 > 1:34:22He died in 1519 and there are fewer than 20 of
1:34:22 > 1:34:31his paintings in existence.
1:34:31 > 1:34:36It's time to have a look at the sport. And the cost of watching
1:34:36 > 1:34:40football in particular which is proving expensive the young people.
1:34:40 > 1:34:44We were talking about this earlier. There is a way you can find out.
1:34:44 > 1:34:48This website that Ben was explaining, you can put in the team
1:34:48 > 1:34:51and see if your tickets are more expensive. Being quite frugal
1:34:51 > 1:34:57myself, I haven't put it on at that its summary was like-minded. He
1:34:57 > 1:35:04could switch teams.It's just the cost, isn't it? You just want to be
1:35:04 > 1:35:09in the stadium and see those moments, it is expensive.Unless you
1:35:09 > 1:35:14switch clubs. Liverpool, £18 is the cheapest ticket which includes a
1:35:14 > 1:35:19programme and a cup of tea and a pious world.Are they available or
1:35:19 > 1:35:28do they sell out? What kind of pie? I don't know.A fully encased buyer?
1:35:28 > 1:35:33I don't know what is in that pie that I would have thought, a
1:35:33 > 1:35:41selection of chicken and meat.Fully encased or just the topping?I don't
1:35:41 > 1:35:47know. This was a survey the price of football, not buyers. Get on the
1:35:47 > 1:36:03website, put it in and have a look. You can put your team in there and
1:36:03 > 1:36:07find out how much it costs to watch a game for a ticket, papaya, a pint,
1:36:07 > 1:36:12it's all in there. But young people are missing out. 82% said the price
1:36:12 > 1:36:19of football is proving an obstacle. Bradley Wiggins?
1:36:19 > 1:36:28Sir Bradley Wiggins didn't hold back in his assesmnet
1:36:28 > 1:36:29assessment of the
1:36:29 > 1:36:31investigation, which was unable to prove the contents
1:36:31 > 1:36:32of the jiffy bag.
1:36:32 > 1:36:35Wiggins and his team claimed it contained a legal decongestant.
1:36:35 > 1:36:38But UKAD say they couldn't confirm or refute the claim,
1:36:38 > 1:36:40but that no charges will be made.
1:36:40 > 1:36:43Wiggins responded on social media saying there are still questions
1:36:43 > 1:36:54to be answered about the way the investigation was handled.
1:36:54 > 1:36:58Russia's hopes of competing in the Winter Olympics has been dealt a
1:36:58 > 1:37:02blow after the doping agency said they fail to meet standards.
1:37:02 > 1:37:05State-sponsored doping was found in the country apparently but Russia
1:37:05 > 1:37:10denies it was a state- backed programme. Its participation will be
1:37:10 > 1:37:12decided on next month.
1:37:12 > 1:37:15Ireland's disappointing sporting week continues as they missed out
1:37:15 > 1:37:18on hosting the 2023 Rugby World Cup, France the surprise choice
1:37:18 > 1:37:19to host the event.
1:37:19 > 1:37:21South Africa were the favourites after they were recommended
1:37:21 > 1:37:22by World Rugby's board.
1:37:22 > 1:37:27But the French won the vote to host a tournament they last held in 2007.
1:37:27 > 1:37:29And having failed to qulaify for the football world cup,
1:37:29 > 1:37:36Ireland's bid was rejected in the first round.
1:37:36 > 1:37:39Very disappointed - a lot of workers has gone into this
1:37:39 > 1:37:40but when you come
1:37:40 > 1:37:42third of three, you have to take your medicine
1:37:42 > 1:37:45and congratulate France, I'm sure they will do a great job
1:37:45 > 1:37:48in 2023, they are posted some big tournaments before
1:37:48 > 1:37:50in 2023, they have hosted some big tournaments before
1:37:50 > 1:37:52so is congratulations to them so we will
1:37:52 > 1:37:55go home and lick our wounds.
1:37:55 > 1:37:57There could be a three way tussle for the services
1:37:57 > 1:37:59of the Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill.
1:37:59 > 1:38:02The Scottish FA has made an approach to speak to him
1:38:02 > 1:38:04about the their vacancy as head coach.
1:38:04 > 1:38:07O'Neill took his country to Euro 2016 and narrowly missed out
1:38:07 > 1:38:08on World Cup qualification.
1:38:08 > 1:38:11The Irish FA has offered him an improved contract.
1:38:11 > 1:38:14And it's believed he's also in the frame for the manager's
1:38:14 > 1:38:14job at Sunderland.
1:38:14 > 1:38:17Chelsea Ladies are through to the quarter finals
1:38:17 > 1:38:19of the Women's Champions League after beating Rosengard
1:38:19 > 1:38:204-0 on aggregate.
1:38:20 > 1:38:29Chelsea already had a three-goal advantage from the first leg
1:38:29 > 1:38:32and sealed the tie thanks to Ji So Yun's second half strike
1:38:32 > 1:38:33in Sweden.
1:38:33 > 1:38:36Roger Federer has over taken Tiger Woods as the world's highest
1:38:36 > 1:38:38earning athlete as a result of prize money alone.
1:38:38 > 1:38:42His last match at the ATP Tour Finals in London saw his career
1:38:42 > 1:38:43winnings reach £84 million.
1:38:43 > 1:38:58He'll add to that total this afternoon when he plays his last
1:38:58 > 1:39:00round-robin match against Marin Cilic.
1:39:00 > 1:39:02Yesterday, at the O2 Arena, Grigor Dimitrov thrashed
1:39:02 > 1:39:04David Goffin to make it through to the last four
1:39:04 > 1:39:06on his Finals debut.
1:39:06 > 1:39:09The Bulgarian made it two wins out of two with a straight sets victory
1:39:09 > 1:39:13Just a week to go now before Joe Root and his team begin
1:39:13 > 1:39:16the defence of the Ashes, and there are still a number
1:39:16 > 1:39:20of places in the starting XI up for grabs - and a few of the batsmen
1:39:20 > 1:39:22have done themselves no harm this morning.
1:39:22 > 1:39:25Alastair Cook is of course a shoo-in - he scored 70
1:39:25 > 1:39:27against a Cricket Australia XI.
1:39:27 > 1:39:29But his opening partner, Mark Stoneman, has been the start
1:39:29 > 1:39:33of the show, scoring a century as he tries to fill the problem spot
1:39:33 > 1:39:34in the batting line up.
1:39:34 > 1:39:37England are going well.
1:39:37 > 1:39:42Yesterday, we showed you the lengths that is proving and supporters will
1:39:42 > 1:39:53go to support their team. They undertook the services of a shaman.
1:39:53 > 1:39:59Well, New Zealand has the haka. Well, it worked. Interesting I
1:39:59 > 1:40:09think. A shaman is what you need. There were a number of difficulties
1:40:09 > 1:40:21that New Zealand encountered. Their plane had to refuel on the way out.
1:40:21 > 1:40:31That would just be silly. I think the shaman is far more fun. The time
1:40:31 > 1:40:43now is 7:40 a.m..
1:40:43 > 1:40:48Nothing can undo the terrible fire at Grenfell Tower. She was so
1:40:48 > 1:40:52removed by the reports of the disaster, she campaigned for
1:40:52 > 1:40:56holidays to those affected.
1:40:56 > 1:40:58A birthday boy without a care in the world.
1:40:58 > 1:41:02But the reality is his life was uprooted by the fire at Grenfell
1:41:02 > 1:41:15Tower.
1:41:15 > 1:41:18Now, thanks to a unique project, his family are on holiday in
1:41:18 > 1:41:18Cornwall.
1:41:18 > 1:41:20How has your day been?
1:41:20 > 1:41:20Good.
1:41:20 > 1:41:20Yeah?
1:41:20 > 1:41:21Your birthday?
1:41:21 > 1:41:23And how has it been in Cornwall?
1:41:23 > 1:41:23Good?
1:41:23 > 1:41:26Yes.
1:41:26 > 1:41:29He has lost his best friend in the fire.
1:41:29 > 1:41:32So young, he struggled to understand.
1:41:32 > 1:41:36I told him that she is in the sky, she can see you.
1:41:36 > 1:41:48She cannot forget you.
1:41:48 > 1:41:53Every day he would say "Did you see me?"
1:41:53 > 1:41:58"I miss you."
1:41:58 > 1:42:01It is hard for me, missing my child.
1:42:01 > 1:42:03The family lived in a block next to Grenfell Tower
1:42:03 > 1:42:04and cannot go back.
1:42:04 > 1:42:07They have now been staying in a hotel for more
1:42:07 > 1:42:14than five months.
1:42:14 > 1:42:17This was their only chance for a break thanks to Cornish
1:42:17 > 1:42:19businesses offering free holidays to those struggling to cope.
1:42:19 > 1:42:20What can we do?
1:42:20 > 1:42:21We can do this.
1:42:21 > 1:42:22What have we got?
1:42:22 > 1:42:23Beautiful surroundings.
1:42:23 > 1:42:26We don't have much money, but we give what we have got.
1:42:26 > 1:42:28And everyone has come together.
1:42:28 > 1:42:35The group have now helped nearly 200 people get away.
1:42:35 > 1:42:38As well as sightseeing and beach trips, they have had grief
1:42:38 > 1:42:43counselling as well.
1:42:43 > 1:42:47It is a chance for the families to make their own new memories,
1:42:47 > 1:42:51and for many of the children here, this is the first time they have
1:42:51 > 1:42:54surfed, the first time they have ever been in the sea,
1:42:54 > 1:42:58and their parents tell me the first time some of them have smiled
1:42:58 > 1:42:59in a very long time.
1:42:59 > 1:43:05This is just amazing.
1:43:05 > 1:43:08People that don't even know us, they just come and tell us come
1:43:08 > 1:43:15here and surf.
1:43:15 > 1:43:18The holiday ends with a celebration.
1:43:18 > 1:43:22But like many here, his sister does not want to go back.
1:43:22 > 1:43:23It is slightly scary.
1:43:23 > 1:43:37You just feel like the building will fall and you.
1:43:37 > 1:43:41If someone talks about it I just start remembering stuff,
1:43:41 > 1:43:42Make a wish!
1:43:42 > 1:43:44He just wishes he had his friend back.
1:43:44 > 1:43:49Frank McCamley, BBC News, in Cornwall.
1:43:49 > 1:43:54Amazing to help the families, the victims of the tragedy. It is 7:43
1:43:54 > 1:44:05a.m.. Time to take a look at the weather. Quite mild lately.
1:44:09 > 1:44:16This is Swansea. Quite a bit of cloud. Some breaks. Some sunshine.
1:44:16 > 1:44:22Here and in much of the country, not far away from double figures. Look
1:44:22 > 1:44:26at Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures dropping. Cold air
1:44:26 > 1:44:31going south in the wake of a cold front. Rain clearing away from
1:44:31 > 1:44:36Scotland. Showers through the rest of this morning. Through rush-hour,
1:44:36 > 1:44:43the wet spots in northern England and the Pennines and northern Wales.
1:44:43 > 1:44:50Reaching Swansea by ten o'clock in the morning. Getting close to put in
1:44:50 > 1:44:57the Midlands as well. Birmingham not far from it as well by 11. Splashes
1:44:57 > 1:45:01of rain in the south-east corner. Sunny spells. Sunshine for the north
1:45:01 > 1:45:07of the country. Severe gale force in Shetland. Rain and hail and hill
1:45:07 > 1:45:15snow. For the most part, a sunny afternoon. By this stage, the cloud
1:45:15 > 1:45:21is in East Anglia. Patchy rain. Nothing too heavy. 13-14 before
1:45:21 > 1:45:25cloud and patchy rain arrives. Pushing through quickly during the
1:45:25 > 1:45:31first part of the evening rush-hour. Clearer skies. Cold air tonight for
1:45:31 > 1:45:37everyone. The exception is the Channel Islands. Here, the
1:45:37 > 1:45:44temperature is. This is the Friday morning commute. Widespread frost. A
1:45:44 > 1:45:51crisps start to Friday. Cold. A lot brighter as well. England and Wales
1:45:51 > 1:45:55and Northern Ireland, sunny skies. Sunshine. Punctuated by further
1:45:55 > 1:46:00frequent showers through the day to be rain and hail and sleet and hill
1:46:00 > 1:46:04snow. These are the temperatures. Cold in Scotland given the strength
1:46:04 > 1:46:08of the wind. Single figure temperatures for Friday. A chilly
1:46:08 > 1:46:14night. Saturday, mild and tried to push its way back in. More cloud on

1:46:19 > 1:46:26rain starting in Northern Ireland and northern England pushing south.
1:46:26 > 1:46:30Cold weather comes in to the north-east. That will be in place in
1:46:30 > 1:46:38eastern parts. Atlantic get to the west. This weather front tries to
1:46:38 > 1:46:42push in. Brightest in the east with sunshine. But a rather chilly
1:46:42 > 1:46:48breeze. That is how it is looking. Back to you. Thank you. We will talk
1:46:48 > 1:46:59to you later. Today, The Duke of Cambridge will launch an action plan
1:46:59 > 1:47:03to tackle cyber bullying. He has met with technology companies and those
1:47:03 > 1:47:08impacted by the human tragedy of bullying on line. We are joined by
1:47:08 > 1:47:16Lucy whose son took his own life after cyber harassment. And the
1:47:16 > 1:47:19chair of the task force set up by Prince William. Thank you for your
1:47:19 > 1:47:20time
1:47:20 > 1:47:22Prince William. Thank you for your time this morning. Could I ask you
1:47:22 > 1:47:28first about this subject? It is close to your family's height. What
1:47:28 > 1:47:36happened to Felix?He was subject to bullying for seven years from the
1:47:36 > 1:47:46age of ten. At 13 - 14, the on line aspect kicked in with social media.
1:47:46 > 1:47:52It became all-encompassing, could offer seven, and there was no
1:47:52 > 1:48:03escape.How or where were you at the time?We understood he was targeted
1:48:03 > 1:48:08but we did not know just how much it was affecting him, certainly not how
1:48:08 > 1:48:15much it was affecting him, and quite the amount he was getting. It was
1:48:15 > 1:48:20some time before we realised how much.You set up your own projects,
1:48:20 > 1:48:24the Felix Project, which The Duke of Cambridge became aware of,
1:48:24 > 1:48:30contacting you. What did he say to you when he first made contact?He
1:48:30 > 1:48:36was expressing his condolences. As a parent himself, he was deeply

1:48:41 > 1:48:46other children from suffering the same fate.It is a huge issue facing
1:48:46 > 1:48:51so many people right now. In many different ways. Some quite minor.
1:48:51 > 1:48:56Some can have tragic consequences. In practical terms, what difference
1:48:56 > 1:49:02can something like this make?I think the key to this is a change of
1:49:02 > 1:49:08thought, a change of behaviour. And one of the key parts of the campaign
1:49:08 > 1:49:19is the cost of the Internet. We need to stop, speak, and support. We need
1:49:19 > 1:49:23to be upstanders, not bystanders. We need to look after each other.
1:49:23 > 1:49:28Actions have consequences.Cannot ask you now about your expertise in
1:49:28 > 1:49:35the area of the Internet and other things, has there been a sense that
1:49:35 > 1:49:38big companies and organisations and social media has not addressed this
1:49:38 > 1:49:45in the past correctly?I think there is a broader debate about the big
1:49:45 > 1:49:49platforms and how much they are responsible for content. There is a
1:49:49 > 1:49:54broad debate. I think getting them to work together to identify
1:49:54 > 1:49:57solutions like this and realise there is a real problem and they can
1:49:57 > 1:50:03take action is really important. It has taken us 18 months. We are very
1:50:03 > 1:50:07positive about the action plan put forward today by The Duke of
1:50:07 > 1:50:12Cambridge and the task force. But we think we need to monitor it and
1:50:12 > 1:50:16measure it and review it over the next few years to make sure it has
1:50:16 > 1:50:20the impact we all want and Lucy wants.As I understand it, The Duke
1:50:20 > 1:50:26of Cambridge feels this is personal to him and has taken a personal
1:50:26 > 1:50:30interest in it. It is his impetus which has got key figures around the
1:50:30 > 1:50:34table to come up with something tangible.Yes. Any parent
1:50:34 > 1:50:42understands her pain. Getting those incredibly powerful companies around
1:50:42 > 1:50:48one table is a great testimony to the convenient power of the royal
1:50:48 > 1:50:56foundation. A task force that has the CEO of Apple and Snapchat and
1:50:56 > 1:51:01the top representatives of Facebook, Google, and all those, all around
1:51:01 > 1:51:06one table, is powerful, it can have a significant impact.There will be

1:51:23 > 1:51:29and isolated. Seek support. There is support out there. You have to find
1:51:29 > 1:51:35it. Support for your children, support for yourself.With this
1:51:35 > 1:51:39project we are trying to make it easier to find that support. One of
1:51:39 > 1:51:50the platforms launched as a is a -- today is a platform on Snapchat that
1:51:50 > 1:51:57allows you to seek help.Thank you. We have had a special delivery from
1:51:57 > 1:52:04Royal Mail. They brought their results. Parcels are doing well.
1:52:04 > 1:52:09Yes. We mentioned at this morning. The Royal Mail updated us, saying
1:52:09 > 1:52:14that sales were up and profits down for the last six months. The boss
1:52:14 > 1:52:18said it was a good start and they are already looking ahead to
1:52:18 > 1:52:25Christmas. A bit plan to recruit 20,000 temporary staff. -- big plan.
1:52:25 > 1:52:35What is the busiest time of the year, Christmas. We have just had
1:52:35 > 1:52:40these figures in the last hour. What do you make of them?They are where
1:52:40 > 1:52:53we were expecting them. It is a huge surprise. During the IPO there was
1:52:53 > 1:52:58an expectation letter volumes would fall. When they came out saying 5%,
1:52:58 > 1:53:05it is not a huge shock. Parcels is a positive story.Talking about IPO,
1:53:05 > 1:53:10that is when shares went on sale. There was a lot of concern at the
1:53:10 > 1:53:13time they were being sold too cheaply. Where are they?It depends.
1:53:13 > 1:53:21If you applied and got your £750 of shares at the IPO, you are looking
1:53:21 > 1:53:28at a good growth story. It has gone up 15%. They spiked on the day when
1:53:28 > 1:53:37people tried to buy in. If you bought during van, you are down 13%.
1:53:37 > 1:53:47-- that spike. The dividend accounts for a large amount. They plan to
1:53:47 > 1:53:51increase it every year. So far, they have delivered a stronger one than
1:53:51 > 1:53:55expected.It is tough to be the Royal Mail. They have a big issue
1:53:55 > 1:54:00with the unions trying to plug a hole in the pension pot. They are
1:54:00 > 1:54:06trying to cut costs. There is a lot of competition with parcels, like
1:54:06 > 1:54:12from Amazon.It was expected to be the big growth story. I think what
1:54:12 > 1:54:22came as a big blow was when Amazon took the deliveries in house
1:54:22 > 1:54:25inhouse. Amazon has 7% of the delivery market now. That has come
1:54:25 > 1:54:29as a shock. There are many competitors coming into the market.
1:54:29 > 1:54:35When we look at the figures, you can see revenue has gone up, sorry,
1:54:35 > 1:54:40volumes, not revenues. They are being squashed.The big time as
1:54:40 > 1:54:45Christmas. We send parcels and letters. Recruiting 20,000 extra
1:54:45 > 1:54:52staff. As you said, so much competition. They have to get it
1:54:52 > 1:54:56right.There will be a lot of relief. They went on to a process
1:54:56 > 1:55:01with unions voting to have a strike before Christmas. They then went
1:55:01 > 1:55:06through the process and are now in arbitration. A lot of relief. A
1:55:06 > 1:55:12small chance of any action. With the ongoing issues with the unions,
1:55:12 > 1:55:17there is a difficulty. They are under pressure to cut costs. 190
1:55:17 > 1:55:22million pounds needs to be cut. They are looking at the pension, which is
1:55:22 > 1:55:26a difficult area. They have already announced they are closing the
1:55:26 > 1:55:35current pension to help in the spring. They will look at what the
1:55:35 > 1:55:39contribution will look like. If, over time, during the negotiations,
1:55:39 > 1:55:43they have to put in more, that will put pressure on the profits as well.
1:55:43 > 1:55:48A lot to contend with, especially as they get into the busiest time of
1:55:48 > 1:55:57the year. Thank you. More from me after 8am.I expect a special
1:55:57 > 1:59:19delivery from you.
1:59:19 > 1:59:21Plenty more on the website of the usual address.
1:59:21 > 1:59:22We will see you soon.
1:59:44 > 1:59:45Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt

1:59:49 > 1:59:52Doubt surrounds the future of Zimbabwe's long time leader,
1:59:52 > 1:59:54Robert Mugabe, after he was placed under house arrest by
1:59:54 > 1:59:55the country's military.
1:59:55 > 1:59:57Envoys from neighbouring South Africa arrive in the country

2:00:15 > 2:00:16Good morning.
2:00:16 > 2:00:21It's Thursday 16 November.
2:00:21 > 2:00:23Also this morning:
2:00:23 > 2:00:25scientists will warn world leaders
2:00:25 > 2:00:27that the effects of climate change are inevitable, even if major
2:00:27 > 2:00:32cuts are made to carbon dioxide emissions.
2:00:32 > 2:00:37Leonardo's Salvator Mundi selling here.
2:00:37 > 2:00:40At Christie's.
2:00:40 > 2:00:41Here's the bid.
2:00:41 > 2:00:44The piece is sold!
2:00:44 > 2:00:47A painting by Leonardo da Vinci, which sold for £45
2:00:47 > 2:00:50in the '50s, goes under the hammer in New York for £340 million.
2:00:50 > 2:00:54The Royal Mail has delivered a mixed set of results this morning, letters
2:00:54 > 2:01:00business is down. I'm looking at what is on the cards for Christmas.
2:01:00 > 2:01:04In sport, Sir Bradley Wiggins says that his life has been a living hell
2:01:04 > 2:01:08as it is revealed that he will face no charges following investigation

2:01:11 > 2:01:18the end of a race in 2011.A whale's eye view of the deep ocean - we have
2:01:18 > 2:01:21the inside story on how these amazing picturs of a mother and her
2:01:21 > 2:01:25calf were filmed. Above ground, Matt has the weather.Good morning,
2:01:25 > 2:01:29rush-hour rain for some of you, but sunny weather on the way, the
2:01:29 > 2:01:34downside, set to get colder, get ready to do the ice scraper shuffle
2:01:34 > 2:01:42tomorrow! Details coming up then.
2:01:42 > 2:01:44First, our main story.
2:01:44 > 2:01:46The future of Zimbabwe's long time leader, Robert Mugabe remains
2:01:46 > 2:01:48unclear this morning, after he was placed under house
2:01:48 > 2:01:49arrest by the country's military.
2:01:49 > 2:01:52Two envoys from South Africa have arrived in the capital, Harare,
2:01:52 > 2:01:54to try to hold talks with the 93-year-old
2:01:54 > 2:01:57and with the country's generals, who deny there's been a coup.
2:01:57 > 2:01:58Laura Westbrook reports.
2:01:59 > 2:02:09What would have been unthinkable only a few weeks ago has
2:02:11 > 2:02:13happened: President Mugabe has lost control of the country
2:02:13 > 2:02:14he has ruled for 37 years.
2:02:14 > 2:02:16The military denied staging a coup.
2:02:16 > 2:02:18Zimbabwe's ruling party, the ZANU-PF, were emphatic.
2:02:18 > 2:02:19President Mugabe is still in power.
2:02:19 > 2:02:22He's the man in charge of Zimbabwe, officially, right now.
2:02:22 > 2:02:23A lot has happened.
2:02:23 > 2:02:30But what has happened is a not coup.
2:02:30 > 2:02:34The language is important, and key regional block,
2:02:34 > 2:02:36the African Union,
2:02:36 > 2:02:46has given its full support to the country's legal situations.
2:02:48 > 2:02:53This boils down to an internal power struggle within ZANU-PF, Emmerson
2:02:53 > 2:02:57Mnangagwa was fired last week, on the other side, and wife of Robert
2:02:57 > 2:03:02Mugabe, Grace, one of the most powerful politicians in the country.
2:03:02 > 2:03:06It is believed that her being groomed to succeed Robert Mugabe is
2:03:06 > 2:03:08what sparked this takeover.
2:03:08 > 2:03:11There has to be a transition away from Robert Mugabe but it
2:03:11 > 2:03:20needs to be credible.
2:03:20 > 2:03:22Zimbabweans are waking up to a country that has
2:03:22 > 2:03:23changed dramatically.
2:03:23 > 2:03:26But whether it is the change they had been hoping
2:03:26 > 2:03:27for is far from clear.
2:03:27 > 2:03:37Laura Westbrook, BBC News.
2:03:38 > 2:03:41Mid-morning in Zimbabwe now, what can you tell us of the atmosphere
2:03:41 > 2:03:46that might happen next.Calm and quiet, the reality still holds,
2:03:46 > 2:03:51president Robert Mugabe is under house arrest, nobody coming in to
2:03:51 > 2:03:54try to rescue him, instead, what we understand is happening behind
2:03:54 > 2:03:58closed doors, pressure exerted to try to persuade him to legitimise
2:03:58 > 2:04:03what has happened, to say, this was not a clue, I am resigning. Can they
2:04:03 > 2:04:07persuade him to do so and what sort of concessions will he want in terms
2:04:07 > 2:04:12of protection for his family, for his supporters, for his wife, and so
2:04:12 > 2:04:17on. A long haggling is likely to continue, at some point we may get a
2:04:17 > 2:04:23breakthrough. After that, perhaps years, perhaps months of transition,
2:04:23 > 2:04:27two allows Bob way to get over this extraordinary moment, and re-gain
2:04:27 > 2:04:35some sort of constitutional legitimacy. -- to allow Zimbabwe to
2:04:35 > 2:04:39get over this extraordinary moment.
2:04:40 > 2:04:42The impacts of climate change are already inevitable,
2:04:42 > 2:04:44even if the world immediately and radically cuts its carbon
2:04:44 > 2:04:45dioxide emissions, a new study claims.
2:04:45 > 2:04:50An international research programme called HELIX says sea levels
2:04:50 > 2:04:59will rise by as much as 50 centimetres
2:04:59 > 2:05:07by the end of the century.
2:05:07 > 2:05:10Its findings are being presented at the UN climate talks
2:05:10 > 2:05:12in the Germany city of Bonn, as Andy Moore reports.
2:05:12 > 2:05:14This latest report has been presented to an international
2:05:14 > 2:05:17conference on climate change in Bonn, where world leaders have
2:05:17 > 2:05:18already begun to gather.
2:05:18 > 2:05:20Whatever they can do to restrict carbon, restrict carbon
2:05:20 > 2:05:21dioxide restriction, climate change cannot be avoided.
2:05:21 > 2:05:23Carbon dioxide molecules will warm the atmosphere
2:05:23 > 2:05:24for hundreds of years.
2:05:24 > 2:05:26That extra heat means the water steadily expands.
2:05:26 > 2:05:29So the researchers can say with some confidence that half a million
2:05:29 > 2:05:31people in low-lying Bangladesh will be affected
2:05:31 > 2:05:32by rising sea levels.
2:05:32 > 2:05:33In a worst-case scenario, with rising emissions,
2:05:33 > 2:05:38that figure could reach 12 million by the end of the century.
2:05:38 > 2:05:41Some tropical areas already suffer levels of heat bringing a very high
2:05:41 > 2:05:45risk of human harm, the so-called heat stress.
2:05:45 > 2:05:51The researchers say with two degrees warming,
2:05:51 > 2:05:54most of of the Indian subcontinent and large areas of North Africa
2:05:54 > 2:05:55would get these conditions.
2:05:55 > 2:05:57Rainfall and river levels are hard to predict, but scientists say
2:05:57 > 2:06:00they are confident they will be increased flooding on some major
2:06:00 > 2:06:03rivers, even if emissions are strictly reduced.
2:06:03 > 2:06:05And there is no sign of that happening at the moment.
2:06:05 > 2:06:07The conference has already been told that global
2:06:07 > 2:06:10emissions of carbon dioxide, are forecast to rise for the first
2:06:10 > 2:06:13time in four years in 2017.
2:06:13 > 2:06:23That is largely due to the use of coal in China's booming economy.
2:06:24 > 2:06:26Plans to encourage housing associations to borrow money
2:06:26 > 2:06:29to invest in new homes will be announced later.
2:06:29 > 2:06:31It comes after Theresa May pledged to kickstart
2:06:31 > 2:06:34a new generation of council house building last month.
2:06:34 > 2:06:36But Labour said there was no coherent plan to address
2:06:36 > 2:06:40the "housing crisis".
2:06:40 > 2:06:45Lets get more on this with our political correspondent. Not much
2:06:45 > 2:06:48new in the announcement but a step forward, that is how the government
2:06:48 > 2:06:52is putting it across.That is right, there is a recognition within
2:06:52 > 2:06:57government circles that there is a crisis in the government's words on
2:06:57 > 2:07:01house-building, the number of houses available in England, and a
2:07:01 > 2:07:05recognition that this is a politically significant policy area,
2:07:05 > 2:07:09I think the government believes that if they make an offer on housing in
2:07:09 > 2:07:15the budget, we are less than one week away, that this is a four point
2:07:15 > 2:07:20of appeal -- core point of appeal to younger voters. So we have a
2:07:20 > 2:07:23technical announcement today about housing associations, borrowing
2:07:23 > 2:07:27being taken from government books, so it will not be counted anymore in
2:07:27 > 2:07:31public borrowing, in theory that frees them up to borrow more and
2:07:31 > 2:07:35build more and conveniently wipes off some of the debt the government
2:07:35 > 2:07:39has, so perhaps gives Philip Hammond some wriggle room in the budget to
2:07:39 > 2:07:45do more. Labour, as you say, calling this nowhere near enough, describing
2:07:45 > 2:07:48the housing association borrowing figures as creative accountancy.
2:07:48 > 2:07:55They are talking about borrowing billions more to pay for a larger
2:07:55 > 2:08:01scale programme of house-building. I think this goes to show that housing
2:08:01 > 2:08:04is a politically salient area at the moment and Philip Hammond is going
2:08:04 > 2:08:08to be under a lot of pressure to make a big offer on housing in the
2:08:08 > 2:08:21budget next week.We will be keeping a close eye on it, thank you.
2:08:24 > 2:08:27Honest as must draw up contingency plans to prevent long delays at
2:08:27 > 2:08:35ports and airports when Britain leaves the EU. The number of guns,
2:08:35 > 2:08:38drugs and fake goods being smuggled into the UK could rise after Brexit,
2:08:38 > 2:08:40unless a "significant" number of extra border staff are recruited.
2:08:40 > 2:08:44That's according to a cross-party group of MPs.
2:08:44 > 2:08:46The social media companies Facebook and Snapchat are to trial
2:08:46 > 2:08:48a new service offering direct support to victims of cyberbullying
2:08:48 > 2:08:51It's after a campaign led by the Duke of Cambridge,
2:08:51 > 2:08:53who set up a taskforce looking into the issue.
2:08:53 > 2:08:56He'll launch a new code of conduct for the internet later today,
2:08:56 > 2:08:58urging young people to "stop, speak and support"
2:08:58 > 2:08:59each other online.
2:08:59 > 2:09:01A 500-year-old painting of Christ, believed to have been created
2:09:01 > 2:09:04by Leonardo da Vinci has gone under the hammer
2:09:04 > 2:09:07in New York for a record £400 million,
2:09:07 > 2:09:10that's just over £300 million.
2:09:10 > 2:09:13The price for Salvator Mundi,
2:09:13 > 2:09:16or "Saviour of the World", is the highest ever paid
2:09:16 > 2:09:19for a painting Da Vinci died in 1519 and there are fewer than 20
2:09:19 > 2:09:20of his paintings in existence.
2:09:20 > 2:09:22Christie 's New York had estimated Leonardo da Vinci's sulphur tour
2:09:22 > 2:09:28Monday would sell for $100 million, around £76 million, they knew that
2:09:28 > 2:09:31was likely to be exceeded comfortably, nobody could have
2:09:31 > 2:09:36guessed how comfortably. -- Salvatore Mundi. Dating from 1506,
2:09:36 > 2:09:39the image of Jesus Christ is the two have been created for the French
2:09:39 > 2:09:44royal family, disastrously restored in 1958, it was auctioned in London
2:09:44 > 2:09:51for a mere £45, at a time when most experts thought it was by a student
2:09:51 > 2:09:57of Leonardo, not by the man himself. Last night, the tension was obvious,
2:09:57 > 2:10:02as Christies auctioneer kept the bits flowing, $100 million was
2:10:02 > 2:10:13reached quickly, then, $200 million. That broke the previous record for a
2:10:13 > 2:10:18picture sold at auction, this Picasso, sold for $179 million in
2:10:18 > 2:10:282015
2:10:30 > 2:10:34full up once or twice it seemed bidding had reached its climax,
2:10:34 > 2:10:37until the buyer on the phone was tempted to an extraordinary final
2:10:37 > 2:10:40amount.
2:10:41 > 2:10:47The piece is sold.It is not known who the buyer was, the sale shows
2:10:47 > 2:10:52the importance of rarity, this could be the last Leonardo ever to reach
2:10:52 > 2:10:55auction, and almost half a millennium after his death, he has
2:10:55 > 2:10:59shown himself the greatest star in the art world.
2:11:02 > 2:11:10Those are the main stories. Robert Mugabe has said he wants to live to
2:11:10 > 2:11:13a hundred and rule for life, but after 37 years in power, it looks as
2:11:13 > 2:11:16though his grip on Zimbabwe may be close to an end. The 93-year-old is
2:11:16 > 2:11:18under house arrest in Harare after the military declared it had
2:11:18 > 2:11:28temporarily taken control of the country. We're joined now by George
2:11:28 > 2:11:38Shire, a supporter of the ruling Zanu PF party, and by Makusha Mugabe
2:11:38 > 2:11:42from the Movement For Democratic Change. What you think has happened
2:11:42 > 2:11:46to push this situation to the point it is under now, Robert Mugabe under
2:11:46 > 2:11:51house arrest and seemingly not being offered a way to stay.Turn it on
2:11:51 > 2:11:58its head, I think that some of the time, the language, the vocabulary,
2:11:58 > 2:12:02the designation uses, indicating a preferred outcome, there's not
2:12:02 > 2:12:09unable us to understand what is going on. -- does not. This is
2:12:09 > 2:12:18musical chairs, this is, if you like, it is the hardliners, who have
2:12:18 > 2:12:24been for the most part Robert Mugabe's closest advisers, OK,
2:12:24 > 2:12:28putting their stamp on it, and so, what is happening is musical chairs
2:12:28 > 2:12:36within the party.Did you think that Robert Mugabe is going to go? You
2:12:36 > 2:12:40are a supporter of his.That is another fiction, I will deal with
2:12:40 > 2:12:45that in another way. This is not about Robert Mugabe, it is about
2:12:45 > 2:12:49clearing the decks of people around him, who have become around him in
2:12:49 > 2:12:57the last year or so. And that is why the Army is getting at people who
2:12:57 > 2:13:01have been involved in criminality, just for example, alleged yesterday,
2:13:01 > 2:13:08the minister of finance, was found in his car, 10 million US dollars...
2:13:08 > 2:13:12And if you think about it that way, then you can see why that language
2:13:12 > 2:13:18explains it. So those people who see... Probably because most people,
2:13:18 > 2:13:22certainly beans the two since there were, are tempted to think that
2:13:22 > 2:13:25ZANU-PF is led by Robert Mugabe alone, but I choose the other way
2:13:25 > 2:13:32around.You want to pick this up, to be clear, you are from the movement
2:13:32 > 2:13:37for Democratic change, opposition party, in Zimbabwe, as she was
2:13:37 > 2:13:41saying, this is not about Robert Mugabe, take us... You understand
2:13:41 > 2:13:48the situation as it stands right now.I think from all the reporting
2:13:48 > 2:13:59that has been going on, it is very clear that a clue has taken place.
2:13:59 > 2:14:05We are grateful there has been no loss of life, but it is clear that
2:14:05 > 2:14:11the soldiers are... Yes, there was a power grab, within ZANU-PF, but they
2:14:11 > 2:14:17are actually trying to get Robert Mugabe to go, no question about it.
2:14:17 > 2:14:23Take us through, from your point of view, if Robert Mugabe is going, or
2:14:23 > 2:14:27has already gone, and there is a lack of clarity on that, what's
2:14:27 > 2:14:33next?What the soldiers are trying to do, from what we understand, and
2:14:33 > 2:14:42that was clear from their statement as well, they want to initiate some
2:14:42 > 2:14:47kind of transitional situation, because they have said a military
2:14:47 > 2:14:51lead transition, that is what they have called for, a military led
2:14:51 > 2:14:53transition government, but transition to what, that is the
2:14:53 > 2:14:53question.
2:15:00 > 2:15:07As a political party ourselves and I think there huge excitement in
2:15:07 > 2:15:12Zimbabwe at the moment, to say, yes, let's have a new dispensation but it
2:15:12 > 2:15:17can only happen in a constitutional way.What does that look like? The
2:15:17 > 2:15:24elections are due next year.Yes. We would like if it was possible... The
2:15:24 > 2:15:27government has said there will be negotiations going on but what we
2:15:27 > 2:15:34would like to keep to that timetable is... Because, we would like a
2:15:34 > 2:15:38return to constitutionality as soon as possible.You want to pick up on
2:15:38 > 2:15:43the what next?I kept on saying to you earlier, most people have a
2:15:43 > 2:15:47preferred outcome and that is not the same thing as things as they
2:15:47 > 2:15:54exist, we really need to pay attention.What next?Just a minute.
2:15:54 > 2:15:59Zanu PF is the party in government, it was dating government until the
2:15:59 > 2:16:04next election, what you will see is the hardliners taking over the party
2:16:04 > 2:16:09in government.So we will not see Robert Mugabe?Just a minute, there
2:16:09 > 2:16:15is no such thing, forget transition, we focus on the continuation of Zanu
2:16:15 > 2:16:25PF being in government.What will be the role of Grace Mugabe?She
2:16:25 > 2:16:30remains a member of Zanu PF, she is not a member of government, she is a
2:16:30 > 2:16:33member of the party, she is secretary of the women's league, it
2:16:33 > 2:16:38is the women's league who decide whether she continues to lead them.
2:16:38 > 2:16:42Some of the problem is, people have seen her as the heir apparent,
2:16:42 > 2:16:45appointed by Robert Mugabe and that's what people are unhappy
2:16:45 > 2:16:49about, that's why we are asking you about who leads the country
2:16:49 > 2:16:55regardless of whether Zanu PF stays in ahead of the election.You will
2:16:55 > 2:16:58see why, there have been three factions which have been vying for
2:16:58 > 2:17:02trying to influence Robert Mugabe one way or the other or taking the
2:17:02 > 2:17:08party one way or the other. It garnered with talks, called in 2015,
2:17:08 > 2:17:14then generation 40 and now this one. They are all three sides of Zanu PF
2:17:14 > 2:17:24and each one of them wanting to see... Nobody in politics is against
2:17:24 > 2:17:26intergenerational politics, the question is whether this is
2:17:26 > 2:17:31generated enough and that is what has been going on. You ask a
2:17:31 > 2:17:37question for a disgrace Maghaberry fit into? It's obvious if she's been
2:17:37 > 2:17:42connected to generation 40 and its generation 40 the Army accuses of
2:17:42 > 2:17:46looting stuff. The answer comes that way, it's not the individual in the
2:17:46 > 2:17:49way in which you set out the argument it's looking at these three
2:17:49 > 2:17:55factions which have been resting for power within Zanu PF.If I may, I
2:17:55 > 2:18:01want to get this last spot, our correspondent in Zimbabwe is saying
2:18:01 > 2:18:04things are tranquil, amongst all the other things that are confusing,
2:18:04 > 2:18:08that is one thing that is good because at the moment it a scam.It
2:18:08 > 2:18:14is calm and we would like...I think the important thing is really, this
2:18:14 > 2:18:21has thrown light on Zimbabwe to the international community. And if the
2:18:21 > 2:18:27international community can really engage now it's wonderful that it
2:18:27 > 2:18:33has happened peacefully. And then we see how the political parties and
2:18:33 > 2:18:40other actors can all come together and have some kind of proper
2:18:40 > 2:18:42transition with international guarantees.That's exactly what we
2:18:42 > 2:18:50are looking for. Thank you both for your time.
2:18:50 > 2:18:54Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:19:00 > 2:19:05Good morning. How about this for a start to the day? A drop in
2:19:05 > 2:19:09temperature, for some to get to sunny skies you will have to expect
2:19:09 > 2:19:15a spell of rain, that includes Lily Mae in Keighley. Colder weather
2:19:15 > 2:19:19arriving, these temperatures if you are ready to step out the door,
2:19:19 > 2:19:22temperatures dropping across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
2:19:22 > 2:19:28Colder are working its way southwards after the passage of this
2:19:28 > 2:19:33boundary. Showers throughout the day across north and west Scotland,
2:19:33 > 2:19:38gusty winds, windy conditions around this area of rain spreading
2:19:38 > 2:19:41southwards across northern England, across the north and west of Wales
2:19:41 > 2:19:46and by the time we get to 10am appropriate into Swansea, north-west
2:19:46 > 2:19:50of Birmingham and to the north of Doncaster. That rain band continuing
2:19:50 > 2:19:55to work its way south, as a weaker band, lighter rain pushing through
2:19:55 > 2:20:01the Midlands and the latter stage of the morning. Severe gales in the far
2:20:01 > 2:20:04north of Scotland, showers continuing, some of those heavy with
2:20:04 > 2:20:08Howard Lilyman founder. Across the South more sunshine than we have
2:20:08 > 2:20:12seen, lifting temperatures around 14 degrees, cloud and patchy rain
2:20:12 > 2:20:17arriving later, while the sunshine is out, Wales come at the Midlands
2:20:17 > 2:20:21Northwoods, single figure maximum today, for some temperatures
2:20:21 > 2:20:26dropping throughout the day rather than lifting, feeling colder but at
2:20:26 > 2:20:30least many will have sunshine. Colder are chasing rain away from
2:20:30 > 2:20:33the south-east corner into the first part of this evening, still some
2:20:33 > 2:20:38cloud and patchy rain in the Channel Islands, for most cold air in place,
2:20:38 > 2:20:43showers continuing in Scotland, very chilly breeze, clear skies across
2:20:43 > 2:20:47many areas, going to be the coldest night of the week so far,
2:20:47 > 2:20:50temperatures below freezing away from towns and city centres. The
2:20:50 > 2:20:55commute tomorrow morning may start with a scraping of frostbite a
2:20:55 > 2:20:58bright start, England, Wales and part of Northern Ireland. Good, dry
2:20:58 > 2:21:04sunny day, one or two showers north-west England, Northern
2:21:04 > 2:21:11Ireland. Some of those heavy with Hill, plunder, sleet and hill snow,
2:21:11 > 2:21:15temperatures quite widely in single figures. Further south you are my
2:21:15 > 2:21:19twins and sunshine to compensate. A battle into the weekend between cold
2:21:19 > 2:21:24air to the north and east, mild air from the south and West, uncertain
2:21:24 > 2:21:30for the weekend at the moment, Saturday looks cloudy Franklin,
2:21:30 > 2:21:32Wells, Northern Ireland patchy rain pushing in, sunny conditions
2:21:32 > 2:21:36developing from the North, colder weather in the East. Back to you.
2:21:39 > 2:21:46Thank you. Royal Mail has just delivered its results.Good morning,
2:21:46 > 2:21:48Ben. In mixed bag this morning, the
2:21:48 > 2:21:52Ben. In mixed bag this morning, the parcels business doing well stop the
2:21:52 > 2:21:57letters business not so well, familiar tale. We send fewer and
2:21:57 > 2:22:01fewer letters, they concentrate on the parcels business, we are doing a
2:22:01 > 2:22:05lot more shopping online so they have to get that to our house. A big
2:22:05 > 2:22:11growth market. It's been plagued by all sorts of problems. Part
2:22:11 > 2:22:14privatised back in 2013, the government sold off a big stick to
2:22:14 > 2:22:18private investors, it's now been looking at how much money it has to
2:22:18 > 2:22:21invest to get the business bag up and running, facing a lot of
2:22:21 > 2:22:24competition from rivals coming into the market especially with a liquid
2:22:24 > 2:22:28of parcel delivery. Business just around the corner, the busiest time
2:22:28 > 2:22:33of the year. These results this morning it says it will open six
2:22:33 > 2:22:36temporary sorting centres and hire 20,000 temporary staff to cover the
2:22:36 > 2:22:42Christmas cards we are set to send. But at the same time, they will
2:22:42 > 2:22:47spend £190 million in cost savings, that has not gone down well with
2:22:47 > 2:22:49staff, lots of problems with the unions in terms of working
2:22:49 > 2:22:54conditions. The pension pot but also has a black hole in it. A lot for it
2:22:54 > 2:22:57to contend with now, they are gearing up for the important
2:22:57 > 2:23:02Christmas period but that familiar tale, letters business struggling,
2:23:02 > 2:23:06the parcels business growing, or for all, it means profit was down
2:23:06 > 2:23:12slightly, 1% lower.When was the last time you send a letter?I had
2:23:12 > 2:23:16to send something to my bank and I had to have it in writing. I
2:23:16 > 2:23:23wouldn't even have writing paper and a pen.You don't have a pen? You are
2:23:23 > 2:23:30sorted, you have one now.You are going to ask this back in a minute?
2:23:30 > 2:23:41Aren't you? I'm not joking. It is a 23 AM. -- it is 8:23am.
2:23:41 > 2:23:43Time is running out to stop climate change.
2:23:43 > 2:23:45That's the view of the UN Secretary General, who's described
2:23:45 > 2:23:47global warming as as "the defining threat of our time".
2:23:47 > 2:23:50His comments come as world leaders gather in Germany
2:23:50 > 2:23:52for their first big meeting since Donald Trump announced
2:23:52 > 2:23:54that the U-S is to pull out of the Paris Agreement
2:23:54 > 2:23:56on climate change.
2:23:56 > 2:23:57Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin is at
2:23:57 > 2:23:58the conference in Bonn.
2:23:58 > 2:24:01Roger, good morning. Where does this warning come in relation to warnings
2:24:01 > 2:24:08we have had before?We are seeing consolidating evidence, we have had
2:24:08 > 2:24:13the last three years that have been the warmest on record. Carbon
2:24:13 > 2:24:18dioxide emissions rising again, but wildfires in California and Portugal
2:24:18 > 2:24:22which scientists say are not caused directly by climate change but made
2:24:22 > 2:24:26worse by it. We've had the massive heatwave in southern Europe and
2:24:26 > 2:24:31today we have a new report saying that even if, even if emissions were
2:24:31 > 2:24:35cut to the absolute maximum level now which they probably won't be,
2:24:35 > 2:24:38that would bring us one and a half degrees warming and that would
2:24:38 > 2:24:44inevitably lead to a sea-level rise which would affect two and a half
2:24:44 > 2:24:48million Bangladesh people, increasing flood risk for between
2:24:48 > 2:24:539-20,000,000 Chinese, the evidence stacking up and 13 US agencies last
2:24:53 > 2:24:58week said there is no other plausible cause of this but humans.
2:24:58 > 2:25:03So whatever you might hear in the pub there that in mind. I am here
2:25:03 > 2:25:07now with Jennifer Morgan the Executive Director of Greenpeace
2:25:07 > 2:25:09International. How are you reacting to what's going on with the latest
2:25:09 > 2:25:14science?I think it's clear, the evidence is so clear, people around
2:25:14 > 2:25:19the world are suffering now and will get even worse. We are reacting by
2:25:19 > 2:25:24pushing for 100% renewable energy, phasing out fossil fuels and call,
2:25:24 > 2:25:29taking the Norwegian government to Court today, there is a Court case
2:25:29 > 2:25:32going on because we think they are drilling in the Arctic, against the
2:25:32 > 2:25:36constitution and we are working with people everywhere who are so much
2:25:36 > 2:25:39more engaged than they've ever been because of all of this that the
2:25:39 > 2:25:44report lays out.This Conference, how much do you think it's been
2:25:44 > 2:25:48affected by the decision of President Trump to withdraw from the
2:25:48 > 2:25:51Paris climate accord, he cannot withdraw yet because of the rules
2:25:51 > 2:25:56but he has decided he is going to withdraw. How much has that affected
2:25:56 > 2:26:01them is?On a technical level it hasn't affected things at all,
2:26:01 > 2:26:04countries moving forward, doing technical work, if anything it has
2:26:04 > 2:26:08consolidated them together, they know they need to keep going and
2:26:08 > 2:26:10implement the Paris agreement.It's still bad news from your point of
2:26:10 > 2:26:16view and the climate's point of view?It is, you need a fight has in
2:26:16 > 2:26:19the right direction but the other thing here was an alternative US
2:26:19 > 2:26:23delegation of governors and senators and players who were here to say we
2:26:23 > 2:26:25are still in, this is the real America world and we want to work
2:26:25 > 2:26:30with you.Jennifer Morgan, thank you. I should say having attended
2:26:30 > 2:26:34these conferences for many years I should add that despite the gloom
2:26:34 > 2:26:40around the science there is a level of optimism I have not seen before
2:26:40 > 2:26:43because renewable technology has come on so much faster and further
2:26:43 > 2:26:49than anyone could possibly have imagined with China and India taking
2:26:49 > 2:26:55very clear global leads and that is new.Back to you. Roger, thank you.
2:26:55 > 2:26:59Plenty to come on breakfast.
2:26:59 > 2:30:17Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
2:30:17 > 2:30:18newsroom in half an hour.
2:30:18 > 2:30:20Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
2:30:20 > 2:30:23Bye for now.
2:30:27 > 2:30:36Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
2:30:36 > 2:30:40The future of Zimbabwe's long-time leader, Robert Mugabe,
2:30:40 > 2:30:43remains unclear, after he was placed under house arrest by
2:30:43 > 2:30:44the country's military.
2:30:44 > 2:30:46Two envoys from South Africa have arrived in the capital, Harare,
2:30:46 > 2:30:48to try to hold talks with the 93-year-old
2:30:48 > 2:30:51and with the country's generals, who deny there's been a coup.
2:30:51 > 2:30:53The impacts of climate change are already inevitable,
2:30:53 > 2:30:55even if the world immediately and radically cuts its carbon
2:30:55 > 2:30:59dioxide emissions, a new study claims.
2:30:59 > 2:31:07An international research programme called Helix says sea levels
2:31:07 > 2:31:10will rise by as much as half a metre by the end
2:31:10 > 2:31:11of the century.
2:31:11 > 2:31:14Its findings are being presented at the UN climate talks in Germany,
2:31:14 > 2:31:17where world leaders will discuss the future of the Paris accord,
2:31:17 > 2:31:20the climate change treaty that has been rejected by the United States.
2:31:20 > 2:31:21Plans to encourage housing associations to borrow money
2:31:21 > 2:31:25to invest in new homes will be announced later.
2:31:25 > 2:31:27The Government is to wipe about £70 billion worth
2:31:27 > 2:31:30of debt from housing associations' balance sheets, allowing them
2:31:30 > 2:31:31to raise money more cheaply.
2:31:31 > 2:31:33It comes after Theresa May pledged to kickstart
2:31:33 > 2:31:35a new generation of council house building last month.
2:31:35 > 2:31:37But Labour said there was no coherent plan to address
2:31:37 > 2:31:39the housing crisis.
2:31:39 > 2:31:42The number of guns, drugs and fake goods being smuggled into the UK
2:31:42 > 2:31:44could rise after Brexit, unless a "significant" number
2:31:44 > 2:31:51of extra border staff are recruited.
2:31:51 > 2:31:52That's according to a group of MPs.
2:31:52 > 2:31:55The Home Affairs Select Committee says ministers must draw up
2:31:55 > 2:31:57contingency plans to prevent long delays at ports and airports
2:31:57 > 2:31:58when Britain leaves the EU.
2:31:58 > 2:32:01The Government says it will ensure enough resources are available.
2:32:01 > 2:32:03Thousands of women with previously untreatable breast cancer
2:32:03 > 2:32:06are to have access to two new drugs that can delay the need
2:32:06 > 2:32:13for chemotherapy.
2:32:13 > 2:32:15Palbociclib and ribociclib have been shown to slow down advanced cancer.
2:32:15 > 2:32:18They've been approved for NHS use in England by the National Institute
2:32:18 > 2:32:21for Health and Care Excellence, after it negotiated an agreement
2:32:21 > 2:32:23on price with the manufacturer.
2:32:23 > 2:32:26The social media companies Facebook and Snapchat are to trial
2:32:26 > 2:32:28a new service offering direct support to victims
2:32:28 > 2:32:29of cyberbullying.
2:32:29 > 2:32:35It's after a campaign led by the Duke of Cambridge,
2:32:35 > 2:32:41Who will launch a new code of conduct for the internet
2:32:41 > 2:32:42later today, urging young people to "stop,
2:32:42 > 2:32:47speak and support" each other online.
2:32:47 > 2:32:49Prince William has
2:32:49 > 2:32:54Prince William has seen the effect first-hand.It is real lives that
2:32:54 > 2:32:57get affected, and the consequences, that is the big thing, the

2:33:08 > 2:33:18A 500-year-old painting of Christ, believed to have been created
2:33:21 > 2:33:23by Leonardo da Vinci, has gone under the hammer
2:33:23 > 2:33:26in New York for a record $400 million - that's just over
2:33:26 > 2:33:27£300 million.
2:33:27 > 2:33:30The price for Salvator Mundi or "Saviour of the World"
2:33:30 > 2:33:32is the highest ever paid for a painting.
2:33:32 > 2:33:34Da Vinci died in 1519 and there are fewer than 20
2:33:34 > 2:33:35of his paintings in existence.
2:33:35 > 2:33:41This was bought for £20 in the 1950s and now selling for £300 million.
2:33:41 > 2:33:44Most expensive painting ever. I can't imagine wanting a painting
2:33:44 > 2:33:50that much to spend that much money. Extraordinary.
2:33:50 > 2:33:53It's not often that people awarded the freedom of a town or city take
2:33:53 > 2:33:59the accolade literally...
2:33:59 > 2:34:02But this is the artist Harold Riley, who was trained by LS Lowry,
2:34:02 > 2:34:05celebrating being given the Freedom of Salford by exercising his
2:34:05 > 2:34:07ancient right to drive sheep through the city.
2:34:07 > 2:34:0982-year-old Mr Riley is famous for sketching world leaders,
2:34:09 > 2:34:10including Nelson Mandela.
2:34:10 > 2:34:14We understood he borrowed the sheep from an obliging farmer.
2:34:14 > 2:34:17Why not?
2:34:17 > 2:34:20And coming up here on Breakfast this morning...
2:34:20 > 2:34:23As the search to find the missing British explorer
2:34:23 > 2:34:25Benedict Allen continues, we'll speak to his close
2:34:25 > 2:34:33friend, the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner.
2:34:33 > 2:34:39How the team behind Blue Planet tracked some of the world's most
2:34:39 > 2:34:41elusive creatures - sperm whales - by fitting them
2:34:41 > 2:34:45with special, stick on cameras.
2:34:45 > 2:34:50Cheer up, old pal. Someone is bound to marry you one of these days.What
2:34:50 > 2:34:59about me?
2:34:59 > 2:35:02And we'll be joined by Howards End star Hayley Atwell, who plays
2:35:02 > 2:35:04the feisty Margaret Schlegel, in the latest adaptation
2:35:04 > 2:35:05of E.M Forsters' classic novel.
2:35:05 > 2:35:09Taking a look at the "Price of Football" survey...
2:35:09 > 2:35:14And how much it costs young fans in particular. The cost of going to
2:35:14 > 2:35:21watch football, it is hitting them hard, it really is. The cheapest
2:35:21 > 2:35:26season ticket, Huddersfield, £100. Arsenal, £891, one of the
2:35:26 > 2:35:30interesting thing is that clubs are doing, Liverpool have the cheapest
2:35:30 > 2:35:33much they experience ticket including etiquette, tea, a pie and
2:35:33 > 2:35:38a programme to £18.40, that sounds more affordable. You can look at
2:35:38 > 2:35:42some of the interesting stats on the BBC sport website this morning and
2:35:42 > 2:35:46you can put your club in there and find out how much it costs to watch
2:35:46 > 2:35:50your club on a match day, some interesting things as well.
2:35:50 > 2:35:55Liverpool offering 10% of soft drinks if fans purchase a return bus
2:35:55 > 2:36:01ticket, so plenty on there to look at this morning.
2:36:01 > 2:36:05Sir Bradley Wiggins says the investigation into the content of a
2:36:05 > 2:36:10mystery package delivered to him in 2011 at times not a witchhunt. In an
2:36:10 > 2:36:14angry post on social media he said his life had been a living hell
2:36:14 > 2:36:16after UK Anti-Doping revealed it will not be bringing charges but
2:36:16 > 2:36:21could not prove his and his team's claims that it contained legal
2:36:21 > 2:36:25decongestant.
2:36:25 > 2:36:27Russia's hopes of competing at next year's Winter Olympics
2:36:27 > 2:36:30have been dealt a blow as the World Anti-Doping Agency said
2:36:30 > 2:36:33the country is still not meeting anti-doping standards.
2:36:33 > 2:36:35Last year, a report found evidence of state-sponsored
2:36:35 > 2:36:38doping in the country.
2:36:38 > 2:36:40Russian authorities deny it was a state-backed programme.
2:36:40 > 2:36:45The IOC said it will decide on Russia's participation
2:36:45 > 2:36:46in South Korea at its next board meeting.
2:36:46 > 2:36:49Ireland's disappointing sporting week continues as they missed out
2:36:49 > 2:36:51on hosting the 2023 Rugby World Cup, France the surprise choice
2:36:51 > 2:36:52to stage the event.
2:36:52 > 2:36:55South Africa were the favourites after they were recommended
2:36:55 > 2:36:57by World Rugby's board.
2:36:57 > 2:37:04But the French won the vote at the last minute.
2:37:04 > 2:37:07And for Ireland, having failed to qualify for the football World
2:37:07 > 2:37:14Cup, their bid was rejected in the first round.
2:37:14 > 2:37:17Very disappointed - a lot of work has gone into this
2:37:17 > 2:37:20but when you come third of three, you have to take your medicine
2:37:20 > 2:37:22and congratulate France, I'm sure they will do a great job
2:37:22 > 2:37:29in 2023, they have hosted big tournaments before
2:37:29 > 2:37:32so congratulations to them, and I suppose we will go home
2:37:32 > 2:37:33and lick our wounds.
2:37:33 > 2:37:34He's a wanted man, is the Nortehrn Ireland
2:37:34 > 2:37:36manager Michael O'Neill.
2:37:36 > 2:37:38The Scottish FA has made an approach to speak to him
2:37:38 > 2:37:40about the their vacancy as head coach.
2:37:40 > 2:37:42His stock had risen, taking Northern Ireland to Euro 2016
2:37:42 > 2:37:44and narrowly missed out on World Cup qualification.
2:37:44 > 2:37:46The Irish FA has offered him an improved contract.
2:37:46 > 2:37:48They are desperate for him to stay.
2:37:48 > 2:37:50And it's believed he's also in the frame for
2:37:50 > 2:37:52the manager's job at Sunderland.
2:37:52 > 2:37:58England are warming up with just a week to go before the Ashes.
2:37:58 > 2:38:07Mark Stoneman has been the start of the show so far,
2:38:07 > 2:38:09scoring a century.
2:38:09 > 2:38:11Alastair Cook, Joe Root and Dawid Malan have
2:38:11 > 2:38:21all scored half centuries.
2:38:22 > 2:38:27England closed on 337-7, a lead of 87 runs.
2:38:27 > 2:38:29And yesterday on Breakfast, we showed you the lengths Peru
2:38:29 > 2:38:32supporters would go to in a bid to get their nation to qualify
2:38:32 > 2:38:35for next year's World Cup, using a Shaman to put a curse
2:38:35 > 2:38:36on New Zealand.
2:38:36 > 2:38:40Are they all shame on or just one of them?
2:38:40 > 2:38:45The leader at the front, yes. They have a stake there, standing on the
2:38:45 > 2:38:50New Zealand team, as you can see. If that was not enough, how about the
2:38:50 > 2:38:53fireworks the supporters let off outside the team hotel at 3:30am,
2:38:53 > 2:38:57that will not help New Zealand get a great night's sleep ahead of the
2:38:57 > 2:39:02game. And also a flyby as well by several jets as the intimidation
2:39:02 > 2:39:09continues. But it worked! Le Roux winning 2-0 to take the last but at
2:39:09 > 2:39:17the World Cup. You have kind of got to admire them.
2:39:17 > 2:39:21No stone unturned. That is naughty.
2:39:21 > 2:39:27What was the result? 2-0 last night, it was goalless from
2:39:27 > 2:39:30the first leg. I wonder if it will catch on. John,
2:39:30 > 2:39:36thanks.
2:39:36 > 2:39:40Three weeks ago, most of us had no idea that there are lakes
2:39:40 > 2:39:46at the bottom of the ocean, or that fish with feet lurk
2:39:46 > 2:39:491000 metres below the surface, but, since then, Blue Planet 2 has
2:39:49 > 2:39:50revealed some extraordinary things about our seas.
2:39:50 > 2:39:54The fish with Pete is one of my highlights so far, extraordinary.
2:39:54 > 2:39:58This Sunday we'll get a front-row seat into the life of one
2:39:58 > 2:40:00of the world's cleverest and most elusive creatures, the sperm whale.
2:40:00 > 2:40:04Let's take a look.
2:40:04 > 2:40:08Sperm whales don't wait for their prey to raced to the surface, they
2:40:08 > 2:40:15slimmed down into the depths to find it. They take a series of heavy
2:40:15 > 2:40:29breaths. To saturate their blood with oxygen. Then... Down they go.
2:40:38 > 2:40:46RAPID CLICKING.The calf sticks to its mother as closely as it can.
2:40:46 > 2:40:55Touching her frequently. As if for reassurance.
2:41:07 > 2:41:11But, 300 metres down, it seems the calf can't hold its breath any
2:41:11 > 2:41:18longer.
2:41:31 > 2:41:34We're joined by Blue Planet 2 series producer Mark Brownlow
2:41:34 > 2:41:38and John Ruthven, producer for this week's episode.
2:41:38 > 2:41:43Good morning to you both. Shall we start with the sperm whale, the fact
2:41:43 > 2:41:48that start coming through, but how you got the pictures?This is one of
2:41:48 > 2:41:52the cameras that would have got pictures like that, it is very
2:41:52 > 2:41:56simple, really, it is eight suck that system and it sticks on the
2:41:56 > 2:41:59wail on a long pole, very carefully...Can I just hope that up
2:41:59 > 2:42:08and you can describe it to us? How do you stick it on?Who knew
2:42:08 > 2:42:12that things that looked like bathroom suckers would stick on
2:42:12 > 2:42:16Wales? We work with a scientist who has studied Wales for 15 years,
2:42:16 > 2:42:20developing systems like this. What we did was put the camera on it and
2:42:20 > 2:42:23pressure proved that because we know they died very deep, there is not
2:42:23 > 2:42:27much food on the surface for them so they dive to get the squid.Is this
2:42:27 > 2:42:31one of the ones that went down with them?Yes, that has been on the back
2:42:31 > 2:42:41of Awale?How Depoitre that have been?We tested them to 1500 metres.
2:42:41 > 2:42:45It has a bit of wear and Ted, there is due around the side, it looks
2:42:45 > 2:42:49cobbled together but I guess it does not matter as long as it works?We
2:42:49 > 2:42:54made them ourselves with the help of a scientist, it is one-of-a-kind. We
2:42:54 > 2:42:58are lucky to have this one because a few floated off into the Atlantic,
2:42:58 > 2:43:04they are not easy to retrieve!How do you get them back?There are two
2:43:04 > 2:43:08things, one is putting them on and the other is getting them back. It
2:43:08 > 2:43:11has a mechanism to release the suction and after six to 12 hours it
2:43:11 > 2:43:16comes up to the service, it is designed to be buoyant and this
2:43:16 > 2:43:20aerial is a signal aerial and it will make a strong signal from 20
2:43:20 > 2:43:24miles away.So then you scour the ocean to recover...But you might
2:43:24 > 2:43:28have to wait 24 hours before it pops up again and you have no idea where
2:43:28 > 2:43:33it will bestow you rely on the signal and hope the current will
2:43:33 > 2:43:36sweep it into the mid-Atlantic.The pictures you get from this are quite
2:43:36 > 2:43:44extraordinary, you get the mother's I view?We had several attempts but
2:43:44 > 2:43:47we were very lucky to get one of these cameras on the mother, who
2:43:47 > 2:43:52effectively filmed the calf going down, that is unique, no one has
2:43:52 > 2:43:56done that before, so we saw behaviours like you see in the clip,
2:43:56 > 2:44:00the bumping, the calf bumps the mother, that was not really known
2:44:00 > 2:44:06before.A beautiful tenderness as they give each other these
2:44:06 > 2:44:10reassuring bumps, and obviously the calf wants to get down as deep as it
2:44:10 > 2:44:14come with its mother but cannot dive as far so has to leave and the
2:44:14 > 2:44:18mother carries on.Wonderful. I wonder how you decide what stays in
2:44:18 > 2:44:23and what goes out, because we are obviously seeing the best of all the
2:44:23 > 2:44:27footage that you have decided but that implies there would be a lot of
2:44:27 > 2:44:32beautiful stuff that you left out? It depends which episode we have
2:44:32 > 2:44:38left out, we have a shooting ratio of 100: One, but every minute that
2:44:38 > 2:44:43makes it, 99 minutes was squeezed out. It is so hard to get the unique
2:44:43 > 2:44:49images that there is hardly anything left over in some parts.What do we
2:44:49 > 2:44:53know about their feeding habits and what did you learn?One of the
2:44:53 > 2:44:58themes of the programme this Sunday is about the open ocean, which is a
2:44:58 > 2:45:03really beautiful place, very, very clear, hardly any food at the
2:45:03 > 2:45:07surface, so the puzzle is how a 30 tonne whale manages to make a living
2:45:07 > 2:45:12there and the answer is, they don't, they dive deep to the squid below,
2:45:12 > 2:45:17maybe up to a mile below, where there is plentiful food, and they
2:45:17 > 2:45:23are involved to work in this unique environment.And what is fabulous
2:45:23 > 2:45:27about this system is it also has an acoustic sensor, so you are able to
2:45:27 > 2:45:36record the moment that the mother whale switches her click from
2:45:36 > 2:45:40communication to a kind of catering mode to track down the squid, this
2:45:40 > 2:45:45rapid-fire moment where it is locked onto the prey, then silence.Just
2:45:45 > 2:45:50explain the clicking, this is the language that we now understand the
2:45:50 > 2:45:54sperm whale uses?Each family has its own different set of clicks, for
2:45:54 > 2:46:01instance there is the one plus one plus three and they have a
2:46:01 > 2:46:04communication click, but that will change to a hunting clicks, almost
2:46:04 > 2:46:08like a bat, where they put out great pulses of sound to try to find the
2:46:08 > 2:46:15squid because it is totally dark.We have so many questions, sorry!
2:46:15 > 2:46:20Dolphins, do they not make a noise that is not dissimilar?Yes, all the
2:46:20 > 2:46:25whales and dolphins do that, some of the whales thing, sperm whales make
2:46:25 > 2:46:29pics and we are just beginning to understand the language, they have
2:46:29 > 2:46:33at least 20 different blocks that we have understood and we are just
2:46:33 > 2:46:35realising what an amazing, intelligent creatures they are, the
2:46:35 > 2:46:40biggest rain on the planet.Even the calf has its own signature click,
2:46:40 > 2:46:46almost like it has its own name.The click that you just did, was that
2:46:46 > 2:46:49just you clicking or was that actually... You will hear on the
2:46:49 > 2:46:53recording it is true to nature, we have the sound recordings because it
2:46:53 > 2:46:57is simultaneous, the cameras record the sound as well so we can see
2:46:57 > 2:47:02those interesting sound changes.So have you learned them?The scientist
2:47:02 > 2:47:05we are working with is interested in some of the extra footage we have
2:47:05 > 2:47:10been able to supply, he studies the acoustics anyway, but now we have
2:47:10 > 2:47:15been able to get him some pictures as well.So can you say something in
2:47:15 > 2:47:25clicking?A Caribbean sperm whale will go... CLICKING. That is like a
2:47:25 > 2:47:29football chant, that says, I am the Caribbean sperm whale. All around
2:47:29 > 2:47:32the world there are different groups of sperm whales with different cool
2:47:32 > 2:47:44signs.Different dialects.There are also amazing pictures of the
2:47:44 > 2:47:50Can you explain the boiling seas? This is a fisherman's tail, the
2:47:50 > 2:47:55second most deep sea fish comes up to spawn and the tuna and dolphin
2:47:55 > 2:47:59feed on them. The trouble is, trying to find this was one of the biggest
2:47:59 > 2:48:04challenges. John did the first shoot off the coast of Australia, where we
2:48:04 > 2:48:09didn't come back with much.No, it's vast, 65% of our planet and you are
2:48:09 > 2:48:12sometimes searching areas the size of Belgium and there is nothing day
2:48:12 > 2:48:15after day after day, that is one of the hardest things, having nothing
2:48:15 > 2:48:21to film. But that particular shoot was unusually hard.Looks like it
2:48:21 > 2:48:26might be quite alarming to be close to that, and the sheer scale of what
2:48:26 > 2:48:35is going on around you?Yes.We got scuttled by El Nino when the high
2:48:35 > 2:48:39temperatures of Australia happened. 18 months later we went to Costa
2:48:39 > 2:48:45Rica where we filmed this giant event. The cameraman, Ronner Munns
2:48:45 > 2:48:52described what it was like to be, he said it was like having torpedo-like
2:48:52 > 2:48:59tuna flying at him at 40mph. They have two metre wing spans -- Roger
2:48:59 > 2:49:04Munns. The fish know where you are and scoot by you. It's not for the
2:49:04 > 2:49:09faint-hearted.Got to talk about the ratings at the moment because what,
2:49:09 > 2:49:1414 million saw episode one, it's holding its viewership as well. It's
2:49:14 > 2:49:18almost changing the way or challenging the idea that we don't
2:49:18 > 2:49:25buy into appointment to view TV any more?It's fantastic. We have spent
2:49:25 > 2:49:296,000 hours under water trying to film with new camera technology
2:49:29 > 2:49:35these new stories. I think what we have been able to do is introduce
2:49:35 > 2:49:41you to a new world with characters that live in the ocean. We wouldn't
2:49:41 > 2:49:49have imagined it possible. We have jelly-filled fish heads, fish whose
2:49:49 > 2:49:54fins turn into feet, dolphins that can unlock the medicinal properties
2:49:54 > 2:49:58of coral reefs, I mean the oceans are just filled with surprise and
2:49:58 > 2:50:03wonder and, of course, all packaged up with the wonderful tones of Sir
2:50:03 > 2:50:07David Attenborough.It absolutely works. I'll hand that back to you.
2:50:07 > 2:50:11It survived the deep and the breakfast sofa as well.Thank you
2:50:11 > 2:50:23very much.8dpm Sunday night for Blue Planet 2.
2:50:23 > 2:50:25Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:50:25 > 2:50:26Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:50:26 > 2:50:33Good morning. Some of you have enjoyed quite a bit of sunshine this
2:50:33 > 2:50:37morning. The wetter weather is moving across Cumbria. The sunshine
2:50:37 > 2:50:41will be with you very shortly in the north of the country because, whilst
2:50:41 > 2:50:48we have temperatures in England and Wales in double firs -- double
2:50:48 > 2:50:51figures, the cold is on its way.
2:50:59 > 2:51:03To the north, the chilly air pushes in. Showers for Scotland. Maybe
2:51:03 > 2:51:08severe gales in Orkney and Shetland. Those will ease into the afternoon.
2:51:08 > 2:51:13The rain will be down fairly light and patchy across southern England
2:51:13 > 2:51:16towards East Anglia, taking away some of the sunshine you will enjoy
2:51:16 > 2:51:21for the first half of the day. Once the rain has cleared, sunshine out
2:51:21 > 2:51:25and temperatures single figures. Colder weather to end the day,
2:51:25 > 2:51:28especial shrill once the patchy rain is cleared from the south-east
2:51:28 > 2:51:31corner. Stays for a good part of the Northern Ireland across the Channel
2:51:31 > 2:51:36Islands. With clear skies, away from the showers, it will be a cold night
2:51:36 > 2:51:40tonight, the coldest night of the week, a widespread frost will
2:51:40 > 2:51:44develop so you will be scraping the car tomorrow morning but it will be
2:51:44 > 2:51:48a lovely, crisp start. Sunshine and patchy cloud in the west. Breezy in
2:51:48 > 2:51:53Northern Ireland with a few showers in the north. Showers like today
2:51:53 > 2:51:57frequent in north and west Scotland. Heavy with hail and thunder and
2:51:57 > 2:52:02sleet and snow on higher ground. The wind making it feel colder than the
2:52:02 > 2:52:07temperatures suggest. Single figure highs away from the Channel Islands.
2:52:07 > 2:52:11A cold end to Friday and into Saturday. The battle between cold
2:52:11 > 2:52:16air to the north and east, milderary to the south and south-west. --
2:52:16 > 2:52:20south and west.
2:52:22 > 2:52:26Temperatures lift a touch on Saturday. Back to single figures
2:52:26 > 2:52:31further north and east though with a bit more sunshine to the east. That
2:52:31 > 2:52:35will continue into Sunday. There is a chance we'll see more cloud and
2:52:35 > 2:52:39patchy rain move into the west. It's a case of which one ultimately wins.
2:52:39 > 2:52:44At the moment, it's the colder air that will have the edge on Sunday.
2:52:44 > 2:52:50Brighter weather too. That is what is happening in the UK. We have
2:52:50 > 2:52:55talked about Greece recently. Italy too has seen floods. Nasty air of
2:52:55 > 2:52:59low pressure rumbling around the central area of the Mediterranean.
2:52:59 > 2:53:02That will remain in place today and tomorrow, producing over a month's
2:53:02 > 2:53:08worth of rain in the space of 24 hours. Severe to gale force winds,
2:53:08 > 2:53:11big rough seas and Greece will see some of the most severe storms to
2:53:11 > 2:53:15take us through Thursday into Friday. More on that tomorrow.
2:53:27 > 2:53:33We are going to talk about the person that went missing whilst
2:53:33 > 2:53:37filming a documentary. Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner is a
2:53:37 > 2:53:42close friend of him and has been following this as there's been
2:53:42 > 2:53:47concern about him?There's been concern because he missed his flight
2:53:47 > 2:53:50home via Hong Kong on Sunday and I can give you some good news this
2:53:50 > 2:53:59morning. He has been sighted alive and well near a row mote airstrip in
2:53:59 > 2:54:06Papua New Guinea having tracked huge distances. He's requested rescue and
2:54:06 > 2:54:10rescue is on its way. This is the second sighting. It's a tribal
2:54:10 > 2:54:13commission that have been looking for him and they've reported him in.
2:54:13 > 2:54:18Unless they have got it horribly wrong and I'm not aware of any other
2:54:18 > 2:54:22lost British explorers in Papua new begin neerks Benedict Allen is safe
2:54:22 > 2:54:27and well.Frank, you know him, you have travelled with him, he's an
2:54:27 > 2:54:32experienced traveller, isn't he? But obviously the reason he was flagged
2:54:32 > 2:54:36up, his family says he was due to be in contact with them?Yes, I've got
2:54:36 > 2:54:40to say I'm quite annoyed with him as his friend. He had no evacuation
2:54:40 > 2:54:46plan. He didn't give anybody any idea from where he was going from
2:54:46 > 2:54:50A-to-B so it's hardly surprised he's missed his flight and he's caused
2:54:50 > 2:54:53actually a lot of people to be very worried about him, people who care
2:54:53 > 2:55:00about him. He's an extraordinarily tough, resilient, resourceful and
2:55:00 > 2:55:05curious traveller. He loves to immerse himself amongst people. I'm
2:55:05 > 2:55:10not sure he's that great on logistics because he has really
2:55:10 > 2:55:14caused people a lot of worry here, including myself because I'm his
2:55:14 > 2:55:19friend and I knew that this was going to be quite a tricky trip. I
2:55:19 > 2:55:23just wish he'd, I don't know, given a little bit of safety net, you
2:55:23 > 2:55:27know. He didn't want to take a satellite phone or GPS or anything
2:55:27 > 2:55:33like that, he didn't want any kind of modern intrusion and I'm sure
2:55:33 > 2:55:37he'll come out with an incredible story to tell which will be
2:55:37 > 2:55:41fascinating and he'll regale ordinances at the Royal Geographical
2:55:41 > 2:55:44Society and elsewhere but we could have done without this worry on his
2:55:44 > 2:55:50behalf.I'm sure. He did tweet about where he was going or what he
2:55:50 > 2:55:55planned. He said:
2:55:57 > 2:56:01I mean, he obviously is determined to go and explore the wilderness, so
2:56:01 > 2:56:07to speak. But what happens when these concerns are raised by the
2:56:07 > 2:56:15family, what machinery and processes are employed?He's very lucky in his
2:56:15 > 2:56:21case because Steven Ballantine, the expedition leader and scout for the
2:56:21 > 2:56:25trips he did in Papua New Guinea has amazing contacts, so he's been able
2:56:25 > 2:56:30to get hold of tribal chiefs, the local police chief in the Highlands
2:56:30 > 2:56:34and he's got a particularly resourceful guy called Casper who
2:56:34 > 2:56:38knows the whole area, so they were able to push out contacts and be
2:56:38 > 2:56:42able to... Communications are really difficult there, people don't have
2:56:42 > 2:56:47mobile phones. Even this they did, there was no signal so it's
2:56:47 > 2:56:51practically bush telegraph and takes days for messages to reach people.
2:56:51 > 2:56:55They've been able to push stuff out. I'm not sure that the Foreign Office
2:56:55 > 2:56:59has been able to do very much because they don't have any better
2:56:59 > 2:57:09connections than anybody else into the kind of remote valleys and peaks
2:57:09 > 2:57:12of mountainous Papua New Guinea but ultimately probably a helicopter
2:57:12 > 2:57:16will have to be sent to rescue him from a remote airstrip. This is very
2:57:16 > 2:57:20unlikely to be a car Macthing, it will be a flattened field somewhere
2:57:20 > 2:57:31in the jungle. -- tarmac Thing. It's a place where if you have an
2:57:31 > 2:57:36infection, it will rage through your body quickly. It happened to me at
2:57:36 > 2:57:41the end of our trip. They said we couldn't take the chance because if
2:57:41 > 2:57:47a cut goes Septemberic, it can within -- septic, within 48 Hours
2:57:47 > 2:57:51you can develop septicaemia and you die quickly. He's taken great risks
2:57:51 > 2:57:56here but he's a very resourceful guy, a big tall lanky guy, he's 57
2:57:56 > 2:58:01and yet he has the strength and endurance of a 30-year-old. So he's
2:58:01 > 2:58:06walked an amazing distance and, as I say, he'll have an incredible story
2:58:06 > 2:58:10to tell.He certainly will have. Frank, thanks so much. Great that we
2:58:10 > 2:58:16have some good news that we have had these couple of sightings.
2:58:16 > 2:58:20Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner there. Please don't watch
2:58:20 > 2:58:24what I did, this is your Margaret, that was the advice that Emma
2:58:24 > 2:58:28Thompson gave to the next guest as she prepared to take the role of
2:58:28 > 2:58:36feisty Margaret from the silver to the small screen.
2:58:36 > 2:58:42Hayley Atwell was hand-picked for the part in the new adaptation of EM
2:58:42 > 2:58:44Forster's classic Howards End. Let's have a look at her in action.
2:58:44 > 2:58:51Good afternoon.Good afternoon. No doubt you can remember the last
2:58:51 > 2:58:59occasion on which we met?Not exactly.My brother said we saw your
2:58:59 > 2:59:03umbrella from the Prince Regent? They were playing Beethoven's's
2:59:03 > 2:59:08fifth that day.I do remember... Quite inadvertently. I suppose you
2:59:08 > 2:59:14can guess the reason for my visit? Has he gone missing a game.Would
2:59:14 > 2:59:21you like to come inside?Thank you, I should like to explain.We are
2:59:21 > 2:59:24about to sit down for tea, I do hope you will join us.I don't like to
2:59:24 > 2:59:32impose?I would be very happy too. Come this way.Thank you, after you.
2:59:32 > 2:59:36Thank you.
2:59:36 > 2:59:40Hayley Atwell joins us now.
2:59:40 > 2:59:47We were discussing the fact that you have a dog called Howard. I do,
2:59:47 > 2:59:50coincidentally, pre-Howards End.You did not call the dog Howard after
2:59:50 > 2:59:55appearing at the TV show?No, I didn't! It was very synchronistic
2:59:55 > 2:59:59that I got Howards End, I think he is my lucky charm.We were talking
2:59:59 > 3:00:06about the advice you were given to play your Margret?Yes, exactly.
3:00:06 > 3:00:10When you do a play, someone goes, oh, didn't Judi Dench do Lady
3:00:10 > 3:00:17Macbeth? And you think, well, we are remaking something, it is an
3:00:17 > 3:00:19adaptation of something that has been seen before on the screen,
3:00:19 > 3:00:26there is an expectation, but Helena is a mental and a friend to me and
3:00:26 > 3:00:31said, rightly so, any character we have seen before, it is an
3:00:31 > 3:00:35adaptation of it.Had you seen her in the previous...Of course, it is
3:00:35 > 3:00:42at an amazing performance.How easy is it to not do it like Helena?I
3:00:42 > 3:00:45couldn't, I can't impersonate her, I was like, I can't even try, that is
3:00:45 > 3:00:50fine. This is for hours, as opposed to a film, which is more like 90
3:00:50 > 3:00:54minutes, it is more of the book so there is lots in it that you would
3:00:54 > 3:00:57not see in the film.We can see more of you in the modern version, shall
3:00:57 > 3:01:03we say?If only I had not to go home to Swanage tomorrow when you girls
3:01:03 > 3:01:08are wanting me the most.What is dead and what doesn't Helen mind?
3:01:08 > 3:01:15Oh, my poor brokenhearted girl. Am I? What is the matter?The Wilcox 's
3:01:15 > 3:01:26have taken the fanatic -- the flat the street.Have they?Oh, Helen,
3:01:26 > 3:01:33you don't mind them coming, do you? Of course she does.Of course I
3:01:33 > 3:01:36don't mind, only you and make are being grave about it when there is
3:01:36 > 3:01:40nothing to be great about at all. So, it is a costume drama, any
3:01:40 > 3:01:45dramas in the costume department? Just wearing a corset and a
3:01:45 > 3:01:49microphone and God knows what else underneath to keep you up right. It
3:01:49 > 3:01:54is a little uncomfortable.It takes a while to get used to?The main
3:01:54 > 3:01:59thing the costume designer wanted us to do was not make it feel austere
3:01:59 > 3:02:03and goal and melancholic.You can tell but with the colours, they are
3:02:03 > 3:02:07not as beige?Exactly, and you will also see a lot of lightness of
3:02:07 > 3:02:11touch, the language goes by really quickly, it is written by Kenny
3:02:11 > 3:02:16Lonergan who won the Oscar for Manchester By The Seat and he made
3:02:16 > 3:02:22sure there was lots of energy to it and we spoke as we would now, it is
3:02:22 > 3:02:26not too laddered, Margaret is running through the streets after a
3:02:26 > 3:02:30carriage in the first episode, we found pictures of women in Edwardian
3:02:30 > 3:02:34London striding through the streets with their skirts kind of moving,
3:02:34 > 3:02:37head back, laughing, joking, books under their arm, and they were so
3:02:37 > 3:02:41animated that we thought, well, that is how they would have been, let's
3:02:41 > 3:02:46make it feel that it has a very modern quality to it.One of the
3:02:46 > 3:02:48significant things about that time and place and the women you play is
3:02:48 > 3:03:00that they are changing, the way they are behaving, the way they speak,
3:03:00 > 3:03:02how they address things is changing a lot?Yes, it is essentially about
3:03:02 > 3:03:05three families who exist in different parts of the class system,
3:03:05 > 3:03:07the Schlegels, Margaret Schlegel, who I play, I want to say the
3:03:07 > 3:03:10intellectual set, but she is an original thinker, she has her own
3:03:10 > 3:03:14mind, quite independent, although she is I would say a liberal, she is
3:03:14 > 3:03:19furious about how other people think and function and how we can all
3:03:19 > 3:03:22coexist together so she is a woman very much ahead of her time.They
3:03:22 > 3:03:26are strong women throughout this, there is a feeling of good feminism?
3:03:26 > 3:03:31Yes, and Emma Thompson said to me, EM Forster, who wrote the novel, was
3:03:31 > 3:03:40considered one of literature's first read feminist, not in an aggressive
3:03:40 > 3:03:43way, beating you over the head with political views, but very much
3:03:43 > 3:03:45going, well, these women existed, let's remember them and honour them,
3:03:45 > 3:03:48it is part of our heritage.They were not just there to laugh and be
3:03:48 > 3:03:57meant's partners.Looking louche on a Shays long.Is that how you do it?
3:03:57 > 3:04:04Yes, in a corset!All of the stuff about hearing the voices, it ties
3:04:04 > 3:04:08into a certain, I am trying to make a link with what is going on at the
3:04:08 > 3:04:12moment, women's voices being heard a lot more in your business and
3:04:12 > 3:04:15elsewhere.Yes, from what I have seen as well, from a lot of people
3:04:15 > 3:04:18coming forward, men and women, particularly in Hollywood, it is
3:04:18 > 3:04:22potentially a very exciting time, Hollywood gets the attention because
3:04:22 > 3:04:27there is an element of Fame do it, it is a public platform, but to
3:04:27 > 3:04:32raise the issue of harassment in the workplace in general, this is the
3:04:32 > 3:04:35time for possibly a new language to form, change to happen, for people
3:04:35 > 3:04:40to feel they can come forward and call things out, whereas before they
3:04:40 > 3:04:44may have been normalising it, not aware of subtle sexism or
3:04:44 > 3:04:48undermining or abuse.But also a shift of power in terms of the
3:04:48 > 3:04:58producers as well, Reese Witherspoon, for example, a powerful
3:04:58 > 3:05:01woman now in Hollywood because she is behind the camera with her own
3:05:01 > 3:05:02production company as well, so women pushing forward production?
3:05:02 > 3:05:05Absolutely, going, we want their stories, we want them to produce,
3:05:05 > 3:05:08direct, behind the camera as well as in front of the camera, just being
3:05:08 > 3:05:13the visual impact, and using their wit and charm and brains to tell the
3:05:13 > 3:05:16stories, and it is essential that those women come forward, and that
3:05:16 > 3:05:22often comes with a feeling of having the confidence to do that. When you
3:05:22 > 3:05:28give women the space to do that, they can come into their power, and
3:05:28 > 3:05:31I think this is despite the sadness and the grief of the awful Expose
3:05:31 > 3:05:36that has happened, which is heartbreaking, but it is a
3:05:36 > 3:05:40possibility for something quite extraordinary to happen, a
3:05:40 > 3:05:45possibility for change.Which outfit do you prefer the most, how End or
3:05:45 > 3:05:50playing agent Carter?I preferred dungarees because I can veg out in
3:05:50 > 3:05:58them and feel like a child! The costumes... I tend to like wearing
3:05:58 > 3:06:07clothes that I can daydreaming, they tend to make me feel like I am
3:06:07 > 3:06:10inhabiting a different world, a different posture, natural
3:06:10 > 3:06:13authority.I should dig up my dungarees, I have not won them for a
3:06:13 > 3:06:17long time. I associate them with children's entertainers.Not a bad
3:06:17 > 3:06:21thing, you would make a great children's entertainer!I don't know
3:06:21 > 3:06:28what that means, what does that mean?!
3:06:28 > 3:06:32Howards End is on BBC One, on Sunday at 9am.
3:06:32 > 3:06:34Haley, it has been such a joy to talk to you!
3:06:34 > 3:06:37In a moment we'll chat to one of the stars of Kay Mellor's
3:06:37 > 3:08:11new BBC one drama, Love, Lies and Records.
3:08:11 > 3:08:12This afternoon it will turn cloudier with some patchy light rain.
3:08:12 > 3:08:13A top temperature 14 degrees.
3:08:13 > 3:08:16I am back at 1:30pm with the lunchtime news. Whatever you are
3:08:16 > 3:08:19doing, have a lovely morning, goodbye.
3:08:21 > 3:08:23"A microcosm of life itself."
3:08:23 > 3:08:28That's how the Bafta-award winning writer Kay Mellor has described
3:08:28 > 3:08:31the setting of her latest BBC series, Love, Lies And Records.
3:08:31 > 3:08:33Revolving around the daily workings of a registry office,
3:08:33 > 3:08:36the drama captures the joys and the heartbreaks behind those
3:08:36 > 3:08:38little bits of paper that mark the milestones of our lives.
3:08:38 > 3:08:40Kenny Doughty is one of its stars.
3:08:40 > 3:08:50We'll chat to him in a moment, but first, let's take a look.
3:08:56 > 3:09:02I'm not interrupting anything and my?No, definitely not.I just
3:09:02 > 3:09:07thought I'd let you know that it is done.I don't believe it? You are
3:09:07 > 3:09:12crazy.I know, but I couldn't think of anything else to do. The
3:09:12 > 3:09:18conference room is free if you want to...No, it is fine. This is Ella,
3:09:18 > 3:09:22she has come to register the death of her father.Oh, Judy, thank you
3:09:22 > 3:09:28for telling Kenny about the complaint. You need to set up in
3:09:28 > 3:09:35case the traffic is bad.Are you doing the wedding? It looks like it.
3:09:35 > 3:09:40Inevitably it is dealing with important things, births, deaths...
3:09:40 > 3:09:42And the implications they have on people's lives, we have all
3:09:42 > 3:09:49experienced it at some point.And your character?He is a deputy
3:09:49 > 3:09:53registrar, he is a bit cheeky, he has a big heart, I think you need to
3:09:53 > 3:09:56when you work there because you are working with people a lot, but I
3:09:56 > 3:10:00think sometimes his big heart might get him into trouble. But he is a
3:10:00 > 3:10:04good, caring man.I suppose you don't really think of registrars and
3:10:04 > 3:10:11the emotional impact their jobs could have on them? Every part,
3:10:11 > 3:10:15birth, death, marriage, they are all emotional.When we did research for
3:10:15 > 3:10:19it and met registrars in Leeds, they do that Comey have a berth in the
3:10:19 > 3:10:23morning, marriage in the afternoon, a mix of emotions in a short space
3:10:23 > 3:10:28of time and they found they would take it home with them but did not
3:10:28 > 3:10:32normalise it and they were really caring, sensitive people, it was
3:10:32 > 3:10:36interesting.And like a lot of those places where important things
3:10:36 > 3:10:39happen, dramas unfold, presumably things go wrong, that is what
3:10:39 > 3:10:43happens?Yes, basically in this world that we have got in the
3:10:43 > 3:10:46register office, you have all the people who work there and their
3:10:46 > 3:10:49emotions of what is happening and the people who bring the stories, so
3:10:49 > 3:10:59you will have a wedding, you will have somebody who has had a sham
3:10:59 > 3:11:02wedding and the impact it has on the characters themselves, so you can
3:11:02 > 3:11:05feel this world where you are being affected by it.It seems that you
3:11:05 > 3:11:09get touched by the characters you play, is that fair?I think so, yes.
3:11:09 > 3:11:12The reason I ask, earlier in the programme we were talking about a
3:11:12 > 3:11:16new cyber bullying campaign, led by the Duke of Cambridge to get social
3:11:16 > 3:11:21media companies to set up a cyber-bullying line because that is
3:11:21 > 3:11:26often how children are bullied these days. When you decided to act, it
3:11:26 > 3:11:32was maybe a release for you because you were bullied?I was, at school,
3:11:32 > 3:11:35it was quite tough and I was bullied, one of the ways I could
3:11:35 > 3:11:40escape was that I did a school play and found myself getting out of the
3:11:40 > 3:11:43playground and avoiding the animosity and difficulty of being
3:11:43 > 3:11:47bullied at school, and I found that I enjoyed acting, enjoyed escaping
3:11:47 > 3:11:55into the lives of the world, and the first played that I did was about
3:11:55 > 3:11:59children who worked in the pit, and mining disaster, and thought it was
3:11:59 > 3:12:03a nicely for me to get away from that kind of difficult area.In a
3:12:03 > 3:12:08funny way you are putting yourself in the spotlight by going on stage,
3:12:08 > 3:12:13it is kind of counterintuitive?It is, and I think a lot of actors are
3:12:13 > 3:12:16generally quite shy, surprisingly, yet you put yourself out in the
