0:00:09 > 0:00:12Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Robert Mugabe clings to power, as he refuses to stand down

0:00:15 > 0:00:16as President of Zimbabwe.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19In an extraordinary speech live on TV, in which he had been expected

0:00:19 > 0:00:22to quit, the 93-year-old instead promised to stay

0:00:22 > 0:00:31on for weeks to come.

0:00:31 > 0:00:38The operation I have alluded to did not amount to a threat to our world

0:00:38 > 0:00:43cherished constitutional order. Nor was it a challenge to my authority

0:00:43 > 0:00:48as head of state and government.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Good morning, it is Monday 20 November.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Also this morning: Two days before the Budget,

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Theresa May sets out a plan for better transport between English

0:01:07 > 0:01:15cities and their surrounding suburbs.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Reducing the number of stillborn babies.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Pregnant mums are told that sleeping on their sides

0:01:19 > 0:01:23could save hundreds of lives.

0:01:23 > 0:01:2570 years since their marriage at Westminster Abbey,

0:01:25 > 0:01:28the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh celebrate their platinum wedding

0:01:28 > 0:01:38anniversary with the release of three new portraits.

0:01:38 > 0:01:44Good morning from this co-op distribution centre, as we look at

0:01:44 > 0:01:48how retailers are preparing for the festive period. If analysts are

0:01:48 > 0:01:52correct, it will be a tough one. I am looking at why.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54In sport: A terrible return to the Premier League

0:01:54 > 0:01:57for David Moyes, as his West Ham side are beaten 2-0 by Watford

0:01:57 > 0:01:59in his first match in charge.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04And Carol has the weather.

0:02:04 > 0:02:10Good morning. A fairly cloudy day ahead. We have some rain and drizzle

0:02:10 > 0:02:14in the west, drifting eastwards, depositing some snow on the hills

0:02:14 > 0:02:18north of the Central Belt. And for most of us today it will feel

0:02:18 > 0:02:23milder. I will have more details in 15 minutes.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25The Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, has shocked

0:02:25 > 0:02:28the nation by refusing widespread demands for him to stand down.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Giving a speech live on TV while under house arrest,

0:02:30 > 0:02:33during which he had been expected to resign, he instead

0:02:33 > 0:02:35announced his intention to lead next month's congress

0:02:35 > 0:02:36of the ruling party.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40He has now been given a deadline of midday today to quit,

0:02:40 > 0:02:40or face action.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Our Africa editor Fergal Keane has this report.

0:02:43 > 0:02:43MARIMBA MUSIC.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46The very music seemed designed to drain any drama out

0:02:46 > 0:02:48of the moment.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50And perhaps the geniality of the encounter was a giveaway.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Robert Mugabe didn't look like a man about to walk into the wilderness.

0:02:54 > 0:03:00And his words, delivered 15 minutes into a rambling address,

0:03:00 > 0:03:08confirmed that he intended to stay as leader of the country and party,

0:03:08 > 0:03:15The congress is due in a few weeks from now.

0:03:15 > 0:03:23I will preside over its processes, which must not be prepossessed

0:03:23 > 0:03:27by any acts calculated to undermine it, or to compromise the outcomes

0:03:27 > 0:03:31in the eyes of the public.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34He praised the military and acknowledged the crisis

0:03:34 > 0:03:41in his country and party.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43This appearance has shocked Zimbabweans, who were prepared

0:03:43 > 0:03:46to witness his resignation.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51I think we're being played.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52We're being played.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53I feel let down.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58By now we should have produced some sort of result,

0:03:58 > 0:03:59but we have nothing.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03It's like we are back to square one.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I think the whole nation was expecting him to resign,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07and we're all shocked.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08I think people will be depressed, confused.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10There are big questions now.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13How can Robert Mugabe preside over a party which today removed him

0:04:13 > 0:04:14from the leadership?

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Once-loyal supporters met to warn that he would be impeached

0:04:17 > 0:04:30by parliament if he did't step down from the presidency

0:04:30 > 0:04:34This is the moment when Robert Mugabe lost power in his own party,

0:04:34 > 0:04:38the party he dominated for so long, and has now been replaced as party

0:04:38 > 0:04:41leader by a man who was one of his closest allies for decades.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42The Crocodile...

0:04:42 > 0:04:44The new leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is known as 'the Crocodile,'

0:04:44 > 0:04:47celebrated here for his ruthless cunning.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48But when it gets his prey...

0:04:48 > 0:04:52He may have agreed to pause, but he is unlikely to stop

0:04:52 > 0:04:57until he ousts his old comrade.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01We will be speaking to a member of ZANU-PF about this in just over

0:05:01 > 0:05:02half an hour.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04The Government has announced plans to transform transport links

0:05:04 > 0:05:07in cities across the UK, making it easier to get

0:05:07 > 0:05:08from the suburbs to the centre.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11It comes just days before the Chancellor delivers his first

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Autumn Budget.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier joins us

0:05:13 > 0:05:19now from Westminster.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22You really got ascends from the newspapers and the news over the

0:05:22 > 0:05:28weekend that the Chancellor is under a lot of pressure --. Ascends.And

0:05:28 > 0:05:33the prime Minister has a busy day ahead of her as well, with a budget

0:05:33 > 0:05:36just a few days away. The Prime Minister and the business Secretary

0:05:36 > 0:05:40will be in the West Midlands, spelling out some of those plans to

0:05:40 > 0:05:45improve transport links between city centres and suburbs, all with the

0:05:45 > 0:05:48aim of improving prosperity. Later on, the Prime Minister will be

0:05:48 > 0:05:53chairing what I think could be a very significant meeting of the

0:05:53 > 0:05:58Cabinet's Brexit committee. That is a group of senior ministers who

0:05:58 > 0:06:01decide the government's negotiating position. We know that in those

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Brexit negotiations money has been a key sticking point. That is partly

0:06:05 > 0:06:08because the EU and the UK have taken very different approaches to

0:06:08 > 0:06:13settling the bill. It is also because the UK has been making sure

0:06:13 > 0:06:17taxpayers here don't pay any more than they need to. It is also

0:06:17 > 0:06:22because, within the Cabinet, there has not yet been agreement on the

0:06:22 > 0:06:26way forward when it comes to the cash. So at that crucial meeting

0:06:26 > 0:06:30today, will those ministers come to an agreement? As EU politicians

0:06:30 > 0:06:34remind us, time is ticking. I think we can expect a lively meeting.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Germany is facing a political crisis after Angela Merkel's attempts

0:06:37 > 0:06:39to form a three-party coalition government failed,

0:06:39 > 0:06:40following weeks of negotiations.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42The leaders of the pro-business Free Democrats unexpectedly pulled

0:06:42 > 0:06:44out of talks last night.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46It represents a serious setback for Mrs Merkel,

0:06:46 > 0:06:49who during 12 years in power was seen as a symbol of stable

0:06:49 > 0:06:51government in Europe.

0:06:51 > 0:06:59government in Europe.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Police say there were no injuries to suggest any other person

0:07:02 > 0:07:04was involved in the death of missing teenager Gaia Pope.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08The 19-year-old's body was found on Saturday in a field near Swanage,

0:07:08 > 0:07:1011 days after she was last seen.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Dorset Police are treating her death as unexplained,

0:07:12 > 0:07:18pending toxicology results.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Today marks the 70th wedding anniversary of the Queen

0:07:20 > 0:07:21and the Duke of Edinburgh.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24They have been married longer than any other royal

0:07:24 > 0:07:25couple in history.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28They will celebrate the latest in their long line of milestones

0:07:28 > 0:07:30privately with family and friends at Windsor.

0:07:30 > 0:07:40Our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell reports.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43In the gloom of postwar Britain, their marriage was, in the words

0:07:43 > 0:07:45of Winston Churchill, a flash of colour.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49He was the dashing naval officer, she the future Queen.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52In the 70 years since, theirs has proved to be

0:07:52 > 0:07:58a relationship which has truly stood the test of time.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02It's worked because their personalities and their characters

0:08:02 > 0:08:08complement one another.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10They're quite different, in many ways, but Prince Philip

0:08:10 > 0:08:12is the first to make the Queen laugh

0:08:12 > 0:08:15uproariously, and is probably the only person who can also

0:08:15 > 0:08:17tell her to shut up.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Pictured in 1939, 18-year-old Philip first caught Princess Elizabeth's

0:08:20 > 0:08:22eye on a visit to Dartmouth Naval College.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24It was the beginning of a friendship which grew

0:08:24 > 0:08:27into a lifelong partnership.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31The Queen has referred to him as her strength and stay,

0:08:31 > 0:08:35the Duke remarked that tolerance is essential to any happy marriage

0:08:35 > 0:08:38and the Queen, he added, has that quality in abundance.

0:08:38 > 0:08:4370 years after the royal couple exchanged their vows here,

0:08:43 > 0:08:46the bells of Westminster Abbey will peal for more than three hours

0:08:46 > 0:08:48in their honour.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51These images have been released by the Palace to mark

0:08:51 > 0:08:53the couple's milestone anniversary.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56The Queen and Prince Philip will celebrate at a private party

0:08:56 > 0:09:05at Windsor Castle this evening.

0:09:05 > 0:09:10Some breaking news in the last few minutes. Criminal and former cult

0:09:10 > 0:09:15leader Charles Manson has died in prison in California. He was 83. His

0:09:15 > 0:09:19followers committed a series of notorious murders in 1969. Their

0:09:19 > 0:09:24victims included the actress Sharon Tate, wife of the director Roman

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Polanski, at their home in Hollywood. Manson himself was

0:09:27 > 0:09:32originally centred to death before that penalty was abolished in

0:09:32 > 0:09:36California. Instead his sentence was changed to life in prison. Over the

0:09:36 > 0:09:40course of his life in prison he applied for parole on 12 separate

0:09:40 > 0:09:45occasions. Last time that took place in 2012. The parole board said he

0:09:45 > 0:09:50appeared to have not made any effort to rehabilitate himself. He killed

0:09:50 > 0:09:53no one himself but his followers carried out those murders on his

0:09:53 > 0:09:58orders and he was convicted of those murders and sentenced to death in

0:09:58 > 0:10:031971, which was then commuted to life in prison.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Olympic gold-medallist and the chair of UK Sport Dame Katherine Grainger

0:10:06 > 0:10:09has urged British sports to improve the welfare of athletes.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10Several governing bodies are embroiled in bullying

0:10:10 > 0:10:13allegations, and Grainger said they must rise to the challenge

0:10:13 > 0:10:14of improving high-performance culture.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18It comes as UK Sport releases new guidance to coaches and staff

0:10:18 > 0:10:36on how to treat athletes with more respect.

0:10:36 > 0:10:42And she will be joining us at 8:10 a.m.. We are talking about Platinum

0:10:42 > 0:10:47wedding anniversaries for Her Majesty, the Queen, but how about

0:10:47 > 0:10:50this.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52We all start out hoping that marriage will last a lifetime.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56But when you go out and buy your household appliances together,

0:10:56 > 0:10:57you probably give them five years, tops.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01But one couple in Exeter are selling off some whitegoods they bought more

0:11:01 > 0:11:04than 50 years ago, and they are still in working order.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Sydney Saunders and his wife, Rachel, have a tumble-dryer,

0:11:06 > 0:11:08water boiler, cooker, and washing machine.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11They bought some of them when they got married in 1956,

0:11:11 > 0:11:13and have been using most of them ever since.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17We would be interested to hear from you if you have any appliances

0:11:17 > 0:11:19as old, or even older, than those.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22So, if you have got anything, get in touch with your stories

0:11:22 > 0:11:27and pictures via e-mail or on social media.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32I am sure my parents have some knocking around somewhere. We

0:11:32 > 0:11:36returned to our main story this morning, news coming in from

0:11:36 > 0:11:40Zimbabwe where Robert Mugabe made a speech in which he was expected to

0:11:40 > 0:11:47stand down. He said he will stay on for at least a few weeks while ZANU

0:11:47 > 0:11:51PF, the ruling party, hold a series of meetings. Let's go to Zimbabwe's

0:11:51 > 0:11:59capital, Harare. What is the latest that we no?Well, the latest,

0:11:59 > 0:12:05really, is that that deadline for Robert Mugabe still stands. From his

0:12:05 > 0:12:09ruling party, ZANU PF, who fired him as their leader yesterday, they set

0:12:09 > 0:12:13him a deadline of resigning by mid- day to day local time. That is less

0:12:13 > 0:12:19than four hours' time, and if he hasn't resigned by then they will

0:12:19 > 0:12:23commence impeachment proceedings against him. He clearly isn't going

0:12:23 > 0:12:27to resign, he made that rambling speech last night when most of

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Zimbabwe expected him to say he would quit. At the end of 20 minutes

0:12:31 > 0:12:35he had not talked about all the concerns about him at all. It was

0:12:35 > 0:12:39extraordinary, people looked at each other and said what on earth

0:12:39 > 0:12:43happened to that, because he is just continuing for a few weeks, at

0:12:43 > 0:12:47least. The deadline stands. The impeachment process could begin

0:12:47 > 0:12:52tomorrow in the Parliament kindly, and they would need a two thirds

0:12:52 > 0:12:57majority in both chambers of Parliament to impeach him.And we

0:12:57 > 0:13:01will have more reaction to that and be speaking to somebody from the

0:13:01 > 0:13:07Zanu-PF Party a little later on this morning, about 6:40 a.m..You know

0:13:07 > 0:13:11the Times for everything!I know, I have memorised them.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Sport now, and Sally is here.

0:13:14 > 0:13:23I wonder if David Moyes ever looks back and things I should have stayed

0:13:23 > 0:13:31at Everton in the glory years?Well, he does need a challenge.He was not

0:13:31 > 0:13:33looking entirely happy yesterday in his new job.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36David Moyes's first game in charge of West Ham ended in defeat.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39They lost 2-0 at Watford, with goals in either half

0:13:39 > 0:13:40from Will Hughes and Richarlison.

0:13:40 > 0:13:52West Ham remain in the Premier League's bottom three.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Not the best start for David Moyes, and the fans not happy.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Chris Coleman is the new manager of Sunderland.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Coleman resigned as Wales boss on Friday and takes over

0:14:00 > 0:14:03the north-east side, who are bottom of the championship

0:14:03 > 0:14:04after one win in 17 games.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Has tennis got a new star?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Grigor Dimitrov wins the world tour title in London,

0:14:08 > 0:14:11and will finish the year third in the world.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14The race to Dubai, the contest to be the European Tour's top golfer,

0:14:14 > 0:14:18goes right down to the final hole, as England's Tommy Fleetwood beats

0:14:18 > 0:14:20fellow countryman Justin Rose to take home the trophy

0:14:20 > 0:14:26for the first time.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31He was hugely emotional after that win, with a lot of lovely pictures

0:14:31 > 0:14:35in the papers today. We will talk about him and just a moment.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Let's take a look at what's happening with the weather.

0:14:38 > 0:14:38Let's take a look at what's happening with the weather.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39Here's Carol.

0:14:39 > 0:14:47Good morning. We have a mixture of weather this week coming our way.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51Low pressure will dominate through the week. Mild conditions. Some

0:14:51 > 0:14:57could hit 15 degrees. There will be rain and snow at times largely in

0:14:57 > 0:15:03the hills and it will often be windy from tomorrow. Today we have low

0:15:03 > 0:15:09pressure moving west to east. We have a band of rain and Rizal. We

0:15:09 > 0:15:14also have south-westerly wind. This mild air is putting in. It will be

0:15:14 > 0:15:17coldest around Cape Ness and the Northern Ireland. Across Scotland it

0:15:17 > 0:15:24is a cold start. We have re- moving west to east, snow on the heels Hill

0:15:24 > 0:15:31-- hills in the north. Across Northern Ireland and England we have

0:15:31 > 0:15:36a band of rain moving from the west to the east, not particularly heavy,

0:15:36 > 0:15:41though at times it could be, and that extends in towards Kent. Behind

0:15:41 > 0:15:47it, there will be a lot of cloud, but not the temperatures, tens, 11s

0:15:47 > 0:15:53and 12s. Through the day the rain pushes east and it will be quite

0:15:53 > 0:15:56murky and wet in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland with

0:15:56 > 0:16:00some rain coming in across the south-west. Any sunshine today will

0:16:00 > 0:16:06be at a premium. If we see it it is likely in east Wales, Herefordshire

0:16:06 > 0:16:09for example, and the west Midlands. Temperatures are not worthy because

0:16:09 > 0:16:14in central England at this time of year the average temperature is

0:16:14 > 0:16:18seven or eight. For some of us it will continue to climb through the

0:16:18 > 0:16:24week. As we move overnight, we have rain from today across Scotland and

0:16:24 > 0:16:28another ban comes in behind it moving west to east. There will be a

0:16:28 > 0:16:33lot of cloud, murky conditions, and one or two breaks. These are the

0:16:33 > 0:16:36night-time temperatures. You can see in Scotland it won't be as cold as

0:16:36 > 0:16:42the night that has just gone. Tomorrow a band of rain continues to

0:16:42 > 0:16:45move north eastwards. A lot of cloud coming in behind it. And another

0:16:45 > 0:16:50weather front comes from the west, bringing more rain. But we are still

0:16:50 > 0:16:53in the south-westerly flow. Tomorrow it will be a windy day wherever you

0:16:53 > 0:16:58are. You will see some gales with exposure. Look at the temperatures.

0:16:58 > 0:17:05Ten in Aberdeen, 12s, 13s, 14s even into the south-west. Tuesday to

0:17:05 > 0:17:10Wednesday we have an array of weather fronts coming our Way and an

0:17:10 > 0:17:14array of low pressure as well, but behind this, embedded in this area,

0:17:14 > 0:17:20we will see some cold conditions coming our way. If we look at

0:17:20 > 0:17:25Wednesday, a lot of cloud, windy and mild, then the cold air comes in

0:17:25 > 0:17:30during the course of Thursday. For some of us by the time we get to

0:17:30 > 0:17:34Friday there is the chance of some snow on the hills not just across

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Scotland, at the Pennines and hills of Wales as well. But that of course

0:17:38 > 0:17:42could change as Friday is a long way off. Thank you.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46Not as cold as I was expecting it to be.I know. Slightly disappointing.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Not as cold as I was expecting it to be.I know. Slightly disappointing.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51I was ready for all of the layers.I know. Me too.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Let's take a look at today's papers.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59If you are wondering, step is out and about.I am going to start with

0:17:59 > 0:18:05the Platinum couple. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. One of these

0:18:05 > 0:18:10three portraits to mark the 70th anniversary. And lots of papers

0:18:10 > 0:18:15talking about Zimbabwe. Even last night they were saying Mugabe clings

0:18:15 > 0:18:22on. He was expected to resign in the TV address but he didn't. The other

0:18:22 > 0:18:27thing is Theresa May may offer more in the Brexit divorce deal - that is

0:18:27 > 0:18:31being discussed. There is a Cabinet meeting later today.The Mirror also

0:18:31 > 0:18:37has a picture of the royal couple. 70 years together in pictures. And

0:18:37 > 0:18:45the UK is vulnerable, it says. And Ant and Dec...The programme

0:18:45 > 0:18:51started.Yes, yesterday. The first appearance from Ant since going

0:18:51 > 0:18:56through rehab as well. Yes, absolutely. And they were back to

0:18:56 > 0:19:00their best.And on the Financial Times, because death is out, looking

0:19:00 > 0:19:07at Mugabe and Zimbabwe. And talking about this earlier, this Brexit

0:19:07 > 0:19:12divorce deal earlier, May might set it higher than first thought.On the

0:19:12 > 0:19:18front of the Mail, millions spied on by greedy top universities, spying

0:19:18 > 0:19:23on ex- students in a drive for donations. And a picture of Alan

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Jones, taken off air over sex harassment claims -- Aled Jones. He

0:19:27 > 0:19:31says he won't appear on the BBC till it is sorted out.The Daily

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Telegraph is similar to the other papers as well. But at the bottom of

0:19:35 > 0:19:39the newspaper, on their front page, bargain hunters hope to find

0:19:39 > 0:19:43unbeatable discounts during the Black Friday shopping frenzy. The

0:19:43 > 0:19:46deals are often no different to others during the year. I might have

0:19:46 > 0:19:52guessed it.You mean they are pulling the wool of our eyes?

0:19:52 > 0:19:59Unbelievable.The Mirror, lovely picture of Tommy Fleetwood, here he

0:19:59 > 0:20:05is, and can you just see him and his wife and baby Frankie, who is seven

0:20:05 > 0:20:09weeks old. Can we just say congratulations for even being

0:20:09 > 0:20:18there. Of course, Tommy Fleetwood, he won the Race to Dubai. His baby

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Frankie fast asleep throughout. He is to get married in a couple of

0:20:21 > 0:20:27weeks. What a year for him. They it would be great if he goes to

0:20:27 > 0:20:35Hollywood. What, Frankie?No?No. Maybe not.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39LAUGHTER I want to bring your attention to this.I will keep

0:20:39 > 0:20:46going, shall I? A picture of Tony Pulis. Fantastic interview on Radio

0:20:46 > 0:20:525 Live, he is really talking straight about his future. I just

0:20:52 > 0:20:56want to bring your attention to this. Fans expect to see ambition.

0:20:56 > 0:21:02No one goes to the cinema to watch the news.They used to.They used

0:21:02 > 0:21:09to, given a?In the old days. Sometimes it is so crazy -- didn't

0:21:09 > 0:21:13they?I want to show you a bit of panic in a moment, but one thing,

0:21:13 > 0:21:19the £1 bingo competition was banned after council accused pensioners

0:21:19 > 0:21:20based on

0:21:20 > 0:21:22after council accused pensioners based on illegal gambling dens. It

0:21:22 > 0:21:24is true.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27based on illegal gambling dens. It is true. The Gambling act says you

0:21:27 > 0:21:31cannot participate in bingo it in towards cash prizes paid for by an

0:21:31 > 0:21:40entry fee.I can see there are rules.Maureen Price is not happy.

0:21:40 > 0:21:4576, great-grandmother, said "It is stupid. We only play for peanuts. It

0:21:45 > 0:21:49is a bit of fun and it is disappointing that they won't let us

0:21:49 > 0:21:55do it any more".I am with them on that. I agree, yes. Silly.Anyway,

0:21:55 > 0:22:04yes. Interesting story. Now, we mentioned Ant and Dec. Strictly.

0:22:04 > 0:22:09Gemma Atkinson will be here as well. And also Blue Planet. So many people

0:22:09 > 0:22:17in tears. Because of the pilot whale.Yes. I am thankful I went to

0:22:17 > 0:22:23bed before this moment. Thank you. We are going to play a sad piece

0:22:23 > 0:22:30from Blue Planet.Pilot whales have big brains. They can certainly

0:22:30 > 0:22:38experience emotions. Judging from the behaviour of the adults, the

0:22:38 > 0:22:51loss of the infant has affected the entire family. Unless the flow of

0:22:51 > 0:22:57plastics and industrial pollution into the world's oceans is reduced,

0:22:57 > 0:23:06marine life will be poisoned by them for many centuries to come.Such a

0:23:06 > 0:23:09sad thing. It was to do with pollution, that is what they

0:23:09 > 0:23:14thought?Not conclusive proof. That is what they think. There was a big

0:23:14 > 0:23:19section about plastic and David Attenborough said 100 years ago we

0:23:19 > 0:23:24invented plastic and now it is causing issues. It was just really

0:23:24 > 0:23:29moving to see the pilot whale cling on to its calf. The rest of the pot

0:23:29 > 0:23:34affected by that as well.The other interesting thing was about the

0:23:34 > 0:23:38plastic ducks that went over the side of the container ship. It was

0:23:38 > 0:23:42an experiment. All of the oceans are interconnected.It was a 15-year-old

0:23:42 > 0:23:47rubber duck that went around all of the world's oceans and ended up in

0:23:47 > 0:23:52Scotland.Amazing.That is a proper Kroos, though, isn't it? One other

0:23:52 > 0:23:59thing, which I have lost, OK. Tech speak helps English rather than

0:23:59 > 0:24:04Harms it. People were moaning about the use of emojis, irregular

0:24:04 > 0:24:07spelling and abbreviation in text messages, but they are deaf, not

0:24:07 > 0:24:13sloppy, or a sign of the decline in written English. So-called textism

0:24:13 > 0:24:19helps to convey meaning in the absence of conversation, according

0:24:19 > 0:24:24to Hampton University in New York, they say they often add lols and

0:24:24 > 0:24:27smiley faces to communication for the sake of clarity of expression.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31Not all bad.So don't moan at your kids.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35Women are being advised to sleep on their side in the last three

0:24:35 > 0:24:37months of pregnancy to avoid having a stillborn baby.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41A study of just over 1,000 women found the risk doubles if women go

0:24:41 > 0:24:43to sleep on their backs in the third trimester.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47Our reporter Ali Fortescue has more.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51I knew something was wrong. I woke up in the morning and I knew

0:24:51 > 0:24:57something was wrong. And we went to the hospital and when they couldn't

0:24:57 > 0:25:02find the heartbeat they nipped off to go and find a doctor, I knew that

0:25:02 > 0:25:07there was something not quite right. Lots of cards. These are his

0:25:07 > 0:25:11footprints.Great lost baby Lewy at 35 weeks and she still doesn't know

0:25:11 > 0:25:18what caused her stillbirth.-- Grace. He was just so tiny, he was

0:25:18 > 0:25:24perfectly formed. He had a beautiful upper lip. And I think you always

0:25:24 > 0:25:29think about the what-ifs, what if I did this differently, why has this

0:25:29 > 0:25:38happened? What have I done wrong? A lot of guilt. Just sadness beyond

0:25:38 > 0:25:44anything that I have ever experienced.Grace says she was

0:25:44 > 0:25:48never given any advice on sleep positions when she was pregnant. She

0:25:48 > 0:25:52is one of around 1000 women to have taken part in the Midlands and north

0:25:52 > 0:25:56of England stillbirth study, the largest of its kind. It found that

0:25:56 > 0:26:01one in 225 pregnancies in the UK ended in stillbirth. That is around

0:26:01 > 0:26:0511 babies a day. It also found that the risk of stillbirth drops nearly

0:26:05 > 0:26:114% if women sleep on their site in the third trimester. That could save

0:26:11 > 0:26:17around 130 live the year in the UK -- side.# there were two in the bed

0:26:17 > 0:26:21and the little one said rollover. The study comes alongside a Charity

0:26:21 > 0:26:25campaign. The advice is simple, sleeping on your site could halve

0:26:25 > 0:26:28the risk of a stillbirth.You might end up in all sorts of positions

0:26:28 > 0:26:32when asleep. But the important thing to remember is to start on your

0:26:32 > 0:26:36side.It is hard to know for sure but it is thought when you like on

0:26:36 > 0:26:39your back you might put weight on important blood vessels and

0:26:39 > 0:26:45restricting the flow of blood vessels to the baby. Research has

0:26:45 > 0:26:49shown that the number of stillbirth in the UK has gone down but the

0:26:49 > 0:26:52figures are still high and above those in many other high income

0:26:52 > 0:26:56countries.We want to be one of the best countries in the world and one

0:26:56 > 0:27:01of the safest places to have a baby. So there is lots of work to do. This

0:27:01 > 0:27:05study will contribute to that. It has simple advice to give to women

0:27:05 > 0:27:08to cut the risk of having a stillbirth.Grace has now started a

0:27:08 > 0:27:11new chapter. Nine months ago, Rubin joined the family.Hearing the baby

0:27:11 > 0:27:15cry in the delivery room was just amazing.She will never know what

0:27:15 > 0:27:19would have happened if she had this advice but Grace hopes her story and

0:27:19 > 0:27:24her part in the study can save lives.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28And that is really interesting. They say to sleep on your site because

0:27:28 > 0:27:32you are most likely to stay on your side for a considerable amount of

0:27:32 > 0:27:36time.Don't worry if you wake up on your back.Yes.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39We'll be speaking to an obstetrician involved in the study just

0:27:39 > 0:27:40after 8am this morning.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43You can get details of organisations offering support with the issues

0:27:43 > 0:27:50discussed in that film at bbc.co.uk/actionline.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53We told you that Steph was in here for the paper run.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55The run up to Christmas is traditionally a time

0:27:55 > 0:27:59when shoppers splash the cash, but there are signs we might be

0:27:59 > 0:28:01planning to spend a little less this year.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03That is what Steph is investigating this morning.

0:28:03 > 0:28:08Good morning. Yes, I am in a distribution centre. You can see

0:28:08 > 0:28:15this truck has just been emptied. They have something like 3600

0:28:15 > 0:28:20products sent to 260 shops in this region and 200 people work here

0:28:20 > 0:28:26doing that. As you say, we are here talking about spending this festive

0:28:26 > 0:28:31period. Analysts are suggesting that we will spend less this year than in

0:28:31 > 0:28:36the past. If you look at what we are likely to spend less on, it is

0:28:36 > 0:28:41clothing, travel and big-ticket household items. The reason why it

0:28:41 > 0:28:46is because of what is happening with our pay and the fact that prices we

0:28:46 > 0:28:50pay for things are going up faster than wages. In other words, in real

0:28:50 > 0:28:55terms, we have less money than we did. If you look at the stats on

0:28:55 > 0:28:59where we are spending the money, one third of it is spent online rather

0:28:59 > 0:29:04than in shops. I will talk about all of this little later on. First, the

0:29:04 > 0:32:23news, travel

0:32:23 > 0:32:24rest of the week.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

0:32:26 > 0:32:28in half an hour.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Now, though, it's back to Dan and Lou.

0:32:30 > 0:32:31Bye for now.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:32:35 > 0:32:36It is 6:30am.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43But also on Breakfast this morning: As the Queen and Prince Philip

0:32:43 > 0:32:46celebrate 70 years of marriage, Breakfast has been to meet another

0:32:46 > 0:32:49platinum couple, to find out the secret of staying together

0:32:49 > 0:32:50for seven decades.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53From Olympic legend to one of the most powerful people

0:32:53 > 0:32:55in British sport - Dame Katherine Grainger will be

0:32:55 > 0:32:59here to tell us how she will use her new job to take on sport's

0:32:59 > 0:33:00culture of fear.

0:33:00 > 0:33:04After this week's American Smooth brought their highest score yet,

0:33:04 > 0:33:07we will be asking Strictly's Gemma and Aljaz if they can

0:33:07 > 0:33:12dance their way to the top of the leaderboard.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15Good morning.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Here is a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News:

0:33:18 > 0:33:20The Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, has defied widespread

0:33:20 > 0:33:21demands that he step down.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24In a highly anticipated speech to the nation,

0:33:24 > 0:33:26during which he had been expected to resign, he instead

0:33:26 > 0:33:29announced his intention to lead next month's congress of the ruling

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Zanu-PF Party, much to the disappointment of those

0:33:31 > 0:33:38who had gathered to celebrate.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39I think we're being played.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41We're being played.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44I feel let down.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48I think by now we should have produced some sort of result,

0:33:48 > 0:33:48but we have nothing.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52It's like we're back to square one.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55I think the whole nation was expecting him to resign.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59I think we're all shocked.

0:33:59 > 0:34:05I think people are going to be depressed, confused.

0:34:05 > 0:34:12I think it is enough, enough is enough.The people of Zimbabwe have

0:34:12 > 0:34:23shown that they are sick of it.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26The American criminal and former cult leader Charles Manson has died

0:34:26 > 0:34:27in prison in California.

0:34:27 > 0:34:28He was 83.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29Manson's followers committed a series of notorious

0:34:29 > 0:34:30murders in 1969.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Their victims included the actress Sharon Tate,

0:34:32 > 0:34:35wife of the director Roman Polanski, at her home in Hollywood.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Manson himself was initially sentenced to death, before

0:34:37 > 0:34:40the penalty was abolished in California, as James Cook reports.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44Charles Manson. The name itself is synonymous with evil, a killer who

0:34:44 > 0:34:49did no killing, but whose crimes shocked the world. In August 1969,

0:34:49 > 0:34:54followers of his cult broke into the Hollywood home of Sharon Tate. The

0:34:54 > 0:34:58pregnant actress, who was married to the director Roman Polanski, was

0:34:58 > 0:35:02brutally murdered along with four of her friends. The next night, the

0:35:02 > 0:35:07so-called Manson family killed again, tying up and murdering a

0:35:07 > 0:35:10wealthy couple. This was the ramshackle mansion, death Valley,

0:35:10 > 0:35:15where Manson lived in a commune with his young runaway fans. They

0:35:15 > 0:35:20apparently used LSD and saw the guitar playing ex-convict is a kind

0:35:20 > 0:35:24of saint, or perhaps a devil. Charles Manson was charged not with

0:35:24 > 0:35:27wielding a knife or firing a gun but with controlling and directing the

0:35:27 > 0:35:34killers.I don't accept the court, I don't accept the whole situation. I

0:35:34 > 0:35:39was in the desert minding my business. This confusion belongs to

0:35:39 > 0:35:44you. It is your confusion. I don't have any confusion. I know what I

0:35:44 > 0:35:51have done, and no man can judge me. I judge me.What have you done,

0:35:51 > 0:35:57Charlie?And why had he done it? Apparently to start a race war. It

0:35:57 > 0:36:02would be called Helter-skelter, and he would use it to seize power. In

0:36:02 > 0:36:061971 Manson was sentenced to death on seven counts of murder, later

0:36:06 > 0:36:10commuted to life in prison. Over the years, Charles Manson applied for

0:36:10 > 0:36:14parole Time and time again, but he died a prisoner, having shattered

0:36:14 > 0:36:19the peace and love of the 1960s with diabolical violence.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Germany is facing a political crisis, after Angela Merkel's

0:36:22 > 0:36:24attempts to form a three-party coalition government failed

0:36:24 > 0:36:25following weeks of negotiations.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28The leaders of the pro-business Free Democrats unexpectedly pulled

0:36:28 > 0:36:29out of talks last night.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31It represents a serious setback for Mrs Merkel,

0:36:31 > 0:36:35who during 12 years in power was seen as a symbol of stable

0:36:35 > 0:36:40government in Europe.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Police say there were no injuries to suggest any other person

0:36:43 > 0:36:45was involved in the death of missing teenager Gaia Pope.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49The 19-year-old's body was found on Saturday in a field near Swanage,

0:36:49 > 0:36:5011 days after she was last seen.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Dorset Police are treating her death as unexplained,

0:36:53 > 0:37:02pending toxicology results.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Today it is the 70th wedding anniversary of the Queen

0:37:05 > 0:37:06and the Duke of Edinburgh.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09They have been married longer than any other royal

0:37:09 > 0:37:09couple in history.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12They are celebrating their platinum wedding anniversary with the release

0:37:12 > 0:37:15of three new portraits, and will be spending their day

0:37:15 > 0:37:23with friends and family privately at Windsor.

0:37:23 > 0:37:28There are pictures of them on most of the front pages, some very nice

0:37:28 > 0:37:35quotes, as well. 70 is an awfully long time.It is, in a good way.

0:37:35 > 0:37:40Congratulations to them. And how long will David Moyes last in his

0:37:40 > 0:37:46new job?Hopefully more than one game.You never know, maybe we will

0:37:46 > 0:37:51turn him around. It is very early days, too early to say.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53West Ham remain in the Premier League's relegation zone,

0:37:53 > 0:37:55after David Moyes lost his first game in charge.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57They were beaten 2-0 at Watford.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Watford's goals came in either half, from Will Hughes and this

0:38:00 > 0:38:01strike from Richarlison.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Another impressive performance from Marco Silva's side -

0:38:03 > 0:38:06the Watford boss remains linked with the vacant manager's

0:38:06 > 0:38:06job at Everton.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09And disappointment for Moyes, in his 500th Premier League game

0:38:09 > 0:38:16as a manager.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18We made a couple of chances to get ourselves goals.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20We didn't get them today.

0:38:20 > 0:38:21You know, the goals change games.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24If you get them, you know, it covers a multitude of sins.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26We didn't take the chances today.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29So we have to play better, that's what I think.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33I didn't really enjoy bits of the performance.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36But, if we'd got the goals in, I think it would have turned things

0:38:36 > 0:38:37around a bit.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39In the Scottish Premiership, Hearts returned to Tynecastle

0:38:39 > 0:38:42after six months away while the main stand was redeveloped.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45They could only manage a 1-1 draw against Partick Thistle,

0:38:45 > 0:38:48though, Kris Doolan's late equaliser spoiling the home side's day.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Chris Coleman's new job after resigning as manager of Wales

0:38:50 > 0:38:53will be to take charge of Championship side Sunderland.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56They are bottom of the table, after just one win in 17 matches.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Coleman has signed a 2.5-year deal to replace Simon Grayson,

0:38:59 > 0:39:00who was sacked last month.

0:39:00 > 0:39:04He will be in charge for tomorrow night's game at Aston Villa.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07No Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal or Andy Murray in the end-of-season

0:39:07 > 0:39:10World Tour Final in London, but we still got plenty

0:39:10 > 0:39:12of entertainment, and a victory for Grigor Dimitrov.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15He was up against David Goffin, in a final few predicted.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Dimitrov is called Baby Fed, because his style is like Federer's,

0:39:18 > 0:39:21and he showed off his skill in the decisive third set.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24He went on to win the biggest title of his career,

0:39:24 > 0:39:37and in the process, earn nearly £2 million.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40It has been a tremendous two weeks for me, honestly. It is such an

0:39:40 > 0:39:48honour to play here. This two weeks has been one of the best two weeks I

0:39:48 > 0:39:53have ever had. I am lost for words, I am not going to live. Usually I am

0:39:53 > 0:39:59good at that, but today is just one of those days.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02The finale to the European golf season came down to the very last

0:40:02 > 0:40:06hole, but Tommy Fleetwood has won the race to Dubai for the first

0:40:06 > 0:40:08time, just ahead of fellow Englishman Justin Rose.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Rose had started the day in terrific form.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13But the wheels came off his round on the 12th hole,

0:40:13 > 0:40:15putting his second shot into the water.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Two more mistakes handed Fleetwood the title.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19He had an anxious wait before it was confirmed,

0:40:19 > 0:40:26but it has been quite a year for the 26-year-old from Southport.

0:40:26 > 0:40:27It's been a big one.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Baby Frankie arriving safely, and he's great.

0:40:29 > 0:40:34I'm going to get married in a couple of weeks.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37And yeah, I mean, it's been the best year of my life,

0:40:37 > 0:40:38by an absolute mile.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41And, you know, on the course, it's been great.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45I've played some of the best golf of my career, and done things

0:40:45 > 0:40:49that I've never done before.

0:40:49 > 0:40:55And, off the course, I'm just such a happy person.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58So, it's - you know, we'll have to think

0:40:58 > 0:40:59of ways to better this one.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02Champions Exeter have gone back to the top of rugby union's

0:41:02 > 0:41:05English Premiership, but they were made to work for it

0:41:05 > 0:41:06by Harlequins at Sandy Park.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09It wasn't the best performance from the defending champions,

0:41:09 > 0:41:12but they ended up sealing a bonus-point win thanks to two

0:41:12 > 0:41:13tries from Jonny Hill.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15That puts them two points clear of Saracens.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17There were also wins yesterday for Bath and Leicester.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21It has seemed like a long build-up, but England have arrived in Brisbane

0:41:21 > 0:41:24ahead of the first Test at the Gabba, starting on Thursday.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27No Ben Stokes, of course, as the all-rounder awaits the result

0:41:27 > 0:41:29of the investigation into an incident outside a Bristol

0:41:29 > 0:41:30nightclub in September.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33The ECB have said Stokes won't join the tour while he remains

0:41:33 > 0:41:34under police investigation.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37His team-mates, though, are still hopeful he can play a part

0:41:37 > 0:41:38at some stage.

0:41:38 > 0:41:42It'd be amazing if Stokesy comes out here.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45I am sure you guys would all think the same.

0:41:45 > 0:41:46He's a fantastic cricketer.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49We don't know what's going on at the moment.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52That's completely out of our hands, and until that's resolved,

0:41:52 > 0:41:57we actually don't know what is going to happen.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00But I'm sure that it will get resolved, sooner rather than later,

0:42:00 > 0:42:04we hope, because at the end of the day, we want the best

0:42:04 > 0:42:07cricketers playing in the Ashes.

0:42:07 > 0:42:12It does feel like quite a long build-up. Definitely ready for it to

0:42:12 > 0:42:17start.Are you ready for Christmas? I am actually really organised. I

0:42:17 > 0:42:21have done a whole lot of wrapping. Shops, rats and delivered.Haven't

0:42:21 > 0:42:36shopped. -- shopped, wrapped and delivered.Louise has no interest in

0:42:36 > 0:42:41this story.No, I have spent all my money and what they are saying,

0:42:41 > 0:42:48Steph, is many people might not.I can't believe that. That is made

0:42:48 > 0:42:52that you already have your Christmas sorted. I need you in my life. Let

0:42:52 > 0:42:57me tell you where I am. I am at a distribution centre in the

0:42:57 > 0:43:01north-east. It is here you will get all the products coming out, about

0:43:01 > 0:43:04130 trucks every day bringing products in, getting organised,

0:43:04 > 0:43:10sending them out again, all over the region to about 260 shops. Certainly

0:43:10 > 0:43:15a busy operation. The reason we are here is that at this time of year is

0:43:15 > 0:43:19when these guys get really busy. John is the divisional director for

0:43:19 > 0:43:23the North, the Co-op. What does it involve, getting ready for

0:43:23 > 0:43:28Christmas? How much have things changed for you?Along with the

0:43:28 > 0:43:32summer, Christmas is our biggest trading period of the year.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35Customers tend to trade up at Christmas and buy lots of different

0:43:35 > 0:43:39products. So we have done a lot of work in terms of building our

0:43:39 > 0:43:42festive ranges and ensuring we are best placed to serve customers every

0:43:42 > 0:43:50day.Does it involve getting more staff? Will this place get busier,

0:43:50 > 0:43:57what does it mean in practical terms?Generally we will be busier

0:43:57 > 0:44:00as we get things right for customers, so exceptionally busy.

0:44:00 > 0:44:04And obviously the reason we are here is that our statistics out from

0:44:04 > 0:44:08analysts suggesting we will not be spending as much this Christmas as

0:44:08 > 0:44:12we have done in the past. What does that mean for you? Do you change the

0:44:12 > 0:44:17way you do things? What does it mean?So for us, we are hoping and

0:44:17 > 0:44:22planning to be busy, to have real growth. So the convenience sector is

0:44:22 > 0:44:31buoyant. Customers are increasingly busy, and are looking to shop, often

0:44:31 > 0:44:35all the time. We expect to do well over the course of the period, and

0:44:35 > 0:44:41we plan for a busy festive period. Thank you very much, we appreciate

0:44:41 > 0:44:44talking to you this morning. It is important to talk about the bigger

0:44:44 > 0:44:48picture, as well, what it means for all retailers. And we have Diana

0:44:48 > 0:44:53here. I know we talk a lot about what is going on in the retail

0:44:53 > 0:44:56world. What do you make of this stuff from analysts, saying that

0:44:56 > 0:45:00people will not be spending as much this Christmas?

0:45:00 > 0:45:04All of the data released has been similar to what we

0:45:04 > 0:45:05All of the data released has been similar to what we released, and

0:45:05 > 0:45:10Visa saw sales drop in October, and that is a product of high inflation

0:45:10 > 0:45:15and an interest-rate rise. It is reflecting what consumers are

0:45:15 > 0:45:19feeling, which is the fact that household budgets are constrained.

0:45:19 > 0:45:23When we talk about inflation figures, what it means in real terms

0:45:23 > 0:45:27is people just don't have as much money because wages haven't been

0:45:27 > 0:45:32keeping up with prices going up. Absolutely. Our wages are fixed.

0:45:32 > 0:45:36They are going up by minimal amounts. Yet prices are going up

0:45:36 > 0:45:41more than that. The overall inflation rate of 3% is average.

0:45:41 > 0:45:45Some products are going up by more than that. If you are buying those

0:45:45 > 0:45:51products, they are much more expensive. Inevitably, budgets are

0:45:51 > 0:45:54brought back and something has to give.Who are the winners and

0:45:54 > 0:46:00losers?It is interesting, with the visa data this perennial and

0:46:00 > 0:46:05increasing demand for experiences is still continuing. So the restaurant

0:46:05 > 0:46:09chains and eating out venues will still continue to work because

0:46:09 > 0:46:13people want experiences. We have had enough of stuff. People will buy

0:46:13 > 0:46:18presents of course but yet they want to have more eating out and leisure,

0:46:18 > 0:46:22so that will be a winner. Fashion is really struggling at the moment,

0:46:22 > 0:46:28really having a tough time, and the visa data reflects what we see with

0:46:28 > 0:46:32sales data, which is fashion is finding it tough.And where are we

0:46:32 > 0:46:35spending money, because we have talked in the past about the growth

0:46:35 > 0:46:39of online. Is it still happening, are we spending more online?The

0:46:39 > 0:46:44growth is happening. But it is slowing. That is inevitable. With

0:46:44 > 0:46:49every new venue and sector, there is huge growth in the beginning and

0:46:49 > 0:46:53overtime that growth minimises and levels off. And that is the same

0:46:53 > 0:46:57with online. Yes, it is growing. And convenience is perfect. We don't

0:46:57 > 0:47:04want to go out to destinations necessarily and over budget. We do

0:47:04 > 0:47:08that on data, but it is still a small proportion of the total spend.

0:47:08 > 0:47:1580% is still in store.Interesting. Thank you. I just want to take you

0:47:15 > 0:47:19further down here. It is fascinating. They have 3500

0:47:19 > 0:47:24different products. You can just imagine. It goes on for miles, all

0:47:24 > 0:47:30of the different shelves of products going out to around 260 shops in the

0:47:30 > 0:47:35region. 400 people work here. I was speaking with a lot of them who

0:47:35 > 0:47:39started earlier on. You have the milk distribution centre as well. A

0:47:39 > 0:47:43really busy time this morning to get the fresh milk to the shops.

0:47:43 > 0:47:48Certainly a very busy operation. And it is quite cool as well because of

0:47:48 > 0:47:54energy-saving lights. They come on when you walk down the aisle to make

0:47:54 > 0:47:58sure it is not wasting energy. I will be here through the morning to

0:47:58 > 0:48:00talk about how retailers are preparing for this busy time.

0:48:00 > 0:48:07Although it feels quite spoolily quiet. You are all on your own. --

0:48:07 > 0:48:10spookily. Jump around. See you little bit

0:48:10 > 0:48:14later. Thank you. It is 6:48am.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:48:16 > 0:48:19The main stories this morning: Zimbabwe's leader Robert Mugabe has

0:48:19 > 0:48:22vowed to stay in power for several weeks, despite mounting calls

0:48:22 > 0:48:30for him to stand down.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33Charles Manson, notorious head of a cult which he directed to commit

0:48:33 > 0:48:40nine murders, has died in hospital aged 83.

0:48:40 > 0:48:47I was thinking of the weather.I think you were.In your revelation,

0:48:47 > 0:48:52almost everybody at Christmas is ready.It has thrown new.I was

0:48:52 > 0:48:57thinking, where is my gift? Apparently I have been left out. You

0:48:57 > 0:49:04have one.It is early days.Bless you. Yes, Lou has a month to get to

0:49:04 > 0:49:07the shops.I know where I am on the list.

0:49:07 > 0:49:11LAUGHTER. I know that Steph hasn't finished

0:49:11 > 0:49:12either because I haven't sent her my

0:49:12 > 0:49:12I know that Steph hasn't finished either because I haven't sent her my

0:49:12 > 0:49:19list. Anyway. This morning we have Christmas like weather, with some

0:49:19 > 0:49:23snow on high ground in Scotland. And through the week it will be mild.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27Much more mild than we would expect at the end of November. There will

0:49:27 > 0:49:32be rain and it will be windy, particularly from tomorrow. What is

0:49:32 > 0:49:35happening today is low pressure is dominating the weather with a set of

0:49:35 > 0:49:40fronts to bring rain from the west towards the east and some transient

0:49:40 > 0:49:44snow on the higher routes north of Central Lowlands and we have some

0:49:44 > 0:49:49south-westerly winds. That is a mild direction for us. It is pulling all

0:49:49 > 0:49:55of this Atlantic air across most of the UK except for the far north-east

0:49:55 > 0:49:58of Scotland, Cape Ness and the Northern Isles, where it is still

0:49:58 > 0:50:01cold. It is cold to start across Scotland with rain and drizzle

0:50:01 > 0:50:05moving from the west to the east. Snow on higher ground, slushy areas

0:50:05 > 0:50:10to look out for. And we have rain moving across Northern Ireland and

0:50:10 > 0:50:13northern England. You can see it extending down three East Anglia

0:50:13 > 0:50:20into Kent as well. And we are looking at 8am. Behind it, there

0:50:20 > 0:50:24will be cloud, murky conditions, and look at the temperatures, tens and

0:50:24 > 0:50:2811s, which would be good maximum temperatures at this time of year.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32Through the day the rain continues out of Northern Ireland, across

0:50:32 > 0:50:36Scotland, Northern Ireland, cloud behind it, showers, south-westerly

0:50:36 > 0:50:43winds moving in. Any sunshine will be are likely. If you see it, most

0:50:43 > 0:50:46places likely in eastern Wales around Herefordshire and the west

0:50:46 > 0:50:52Midlands. Temperatures range from six to 13 degrees. You can see how

0:50:52 > 0:50:56the north-east Scotland is looking, it still cold at this stage. Through

0:50:56 > 0:51:00this evening and overnight, there will be a lot of cloud around. We

0:51:00 > 0:51:04have today's rain across Scotland, a fresh band coming in moving

0:51:04 > 0:51:08north-east was through the course of the night, leaving cloud in its

0:51:08 > 0:51:13wake. Still, south-westerly wind, still mild, but now it is pushing

0:51:13 > 0:51:17northwards across a large chunk of Scotland, except for the Northern

0:51:17 > 0:51:21Isles. Tomorrow we start off with all of the rain, still moving

0:51:21 > 0:51:24north-east was, still a lot of cloud around, still the south-westerly

0:51:24 > 0:51:32wind, then another weather front the west. In between these fronts we

0:51:32 > 0:51:36have a warm sector and you will see temperature-wise, well, 12s, 13s,

0:51:36 > 0:51:39even in the Northern Isles, temperatures start to creep up. So

0:51:39 > 0:51:43on Wednesday there is an array of low pressures and weather fronts,

0:51:43 > 0:51:47with a cold front here. There will be some cold conditions following

0:51:47 > 0:51:53behind. For the end of the week, the forecasts we are looking at is

0:51:53 > 0:51:58Wednesday, a lot of cloud and mild weather, rain coming in, then the

0:51:58 > 0:52:02cold front comes in, things turned chilly apart from in the south, and

0:52:02 > 0:52:07the other thing is on Friday we will all feel the draft. And we could see

0:52:07 > 0:52:12some snow on the hills as far south as Wales, but of course it is a long

0:52:12 > 0:52:14way off and it could still change. So some

0:52:14 > 0:52:15way off and it could still change. So some Christmas like weather here

0:52:15 > 0:52:19and there.You promised some sort of Christmas like weather. Thank you

0:52:19 > 0:52:24very much.Pleasure. Let's return to our top story.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29Zimbabwe's embattled leader Robert Mugabe has vowed to stay

0:52:29 > 0:52:31in power, despite mounting calls for him to stand down.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34In a televised address, he said he intends to lead next

0:52:34 > 0:52:36month's congress of the ruling party, Zanu-PF.

0:52:36 > 0:52:39Yesterday, he was sacked as its leader and told he has

0:52:39 > 0:52:41until 10am today to resign, or face impeachment.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43Let's speak now to Zimbabwean journalist Georgina Godwin

0:52:43 > 0:52:45and Zanu-PF's UK representative Nick Mangwana.

0:52:45 > 0:52:51Good morning and thank you for joining us. Step back at it, this

0:52:51 > 0:52:55televised address, many said they were expecting him to stand down

0:52:55 > 0:52:59gracefully. That is not what happened.It didn't happen and

0:52:59 > 0:53:03everyone watching around the world was stunned. I think that the army

0:53:03 > 0:53:08knew what he would say and sanctioned what he would say. There

0:53:08 > 0:53:12were suggestions that maybe he read from a speech, swapped pages. I

0:53:12 > 0:53:15don't think that happened. The army wanted to give him a dignified

0:53:15 > 0:53:20excerpts. The problem is a disconnect between the army and the

0:53:20 > 0:53:24party. And I think that there has not been sufficient communication.

0:53:24 > 0:53:28The party has said they want to impeach him. War veterans have been

0:53:28 > 0:53:31aggressive in language and they might take the fight to the streets.

0:53:31 > 0:53:36It is very difficult. What happens now with the impeachment is that

0:53:36 > 0:53:42parliament will meet and, of course, many parliamentarians have been

0:53:42 > 0:53:50expelled because they were part of Grace Mugabe G40 group. It is

0:53:50 > 0:53:56step-by-step, it will take possibly weeks. They will need the opposition

0:53:56 > 0:54:00to vote with them to make up the two thirds majority that is needed. This

0:54:00 > 0:54:08is the one chance that we, as Zimbabweans have, in the great

0:54:08 > 0:54:11March, the ringing endorsement of Zanu-PF and the army, the people

0:54:11 > 0:54:17that have oppressed us for 37 years, we did not say it at any point, what

0:54:17 > 0:54:21we really need is electoral reform and we need to completely change the

0:54:21 > 0:54:26way that the security forces work. Now, the opposition have a window to

0:54:26 > 0:54:32do that during this impeachment process.How long a road is it from

0:54:32 > 0:54:36Mugabe being taken from power and then free elections? Does it seem

0:54:36 > 0:54:42like a long way away for you, a long way off?The elections have to take

0:54:42 > 0:54:48place within five years, which means August 2018. Zanu-PF and the army

0:54:48 > 0:54:53are in such disarray that is not possible. They would have to be

0:54:53 > 0:54:56constitutional tinkering. There will be a transitional body. It depends

0:54:56 > 0:55:01how long that hangs on. White that is an extraordinary length of time,

0:55:01 > 0:55:06really, isn't it, five years.You say that is the earliest?

0:55:06 > 0:55:10By-election has to take place five years after the last one, so August

0:55:10 > 0:55:152018, but it will have to be extended.We have seen people out on

0:55:15 > 0:55:19the street. They were celebrating. How dangerous is the situation right

0:55:19 > 0:55:24now?There are a couple of flashpoints we need to be careful

0:55:24 > 0:55:32of. The General, does he have support of the rank and file? Are

0:55:32 > 0:55:37they angry he has made a deal with Mugabe? Are the people angry. Mugabe

0:55:37 > 0:55:41says he would abide by the people. The people have spoken. I think we

0:55:41 > 0:55:48as Zimbabweans are very peaceful. A flashpoint is unlikely. We have to

0:55:48 > 0:55:52look at the regional bodies, the African Union. The language has been

0:55:52 > 0:55:58very careful. That it is not a coup. That is so that there are no boots

0:55:58 > 0:56:03on the ground from the regions. We hope. And then of course the last

0:56:03 > 0:56:08thing is China, who are bankrolling Zimbabwe to an enormous degree. This

0:56:08 > 0:56:16could not have happened without their say so. And V NDC have this

0:56:16 > 0:56:20window because I think unless they do something to open the economy,

0:56:20 > 0:56:26which means Zimbabwe is a stable place to invest, then they will lose

0:56:26 > 0:56:31China and the economy will totally collapse.Thank you very much for

0:56:31 > 0:56:35coming to talk to us. I imagine we will talk to you again.Thank you.

0:56:35 > 0:59:58And the big day. That deadline is 10am, so we will follow that

0:59:58 > 1:00:01I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

1:00:01 > 1:00:02in half an hour.

1:00:02 > 1:00:03Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

1:00:33 > 1:00:38Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:00:38 > 1:00:41Robert Mugabe clings to power, as he refuses to stand down

1:00:41 > 1:00:42as President of Zimbabwe.

1:00:42 > 1:00:45In an extraordinary speech live on TV, in which he had been expected

1:00:45 > 1:00:48to quit, the 93-year-old instead promised to stay

1:00:48 > 1:00:52on for weeks to come.

1:00:52 > 1:00:58The operation I have alluded to did not amount to a threat

1:00:58 > 1:01:04to our well-cherished constitutional order.

1:01:04 > 1:01:07Nor was it a challenge to my authority as head

1:01:07 > 1:01:12of state and government.

1:01:22 > 1:01:25Good morning, it is Monday 20 November.

1:01:25 > 1:01:27Also this morning: Reducing the number of stillborn babies.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30Pregnant mums are told that sleeping on their sides

1:01:30 > 1:01:33could save hundreds of lives.

1:01:33 > 1:01:37Charles Manson, the notorious head of an American cult he directed to

1:01:37 > 1:01:45carry out a series of murders, has died in hospital aged 83.

1:01:45 > 1:01:4870 years since their marriage at Westminster Abbey,

1:01:48 > 1:01:51the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh celebrate their platinum wedding

1:01:51 > 1:02:01anniversary with the release of three new portraits.

1:02:01 > 1:02:05Good morning from this Co-op distribution centre, where today we

1:02:05 > 1:02:10are looking at how retailers prepare for the festive period. According to

1:02:10 > 1:02:14the analysts, it is going to be a tough one for them. I will be

1:02:14 > 1:02:15looking at why.

1:02:15 > 1:02:17In sport: A terrible return to the Premier League

1:02:17 > 1:02:21for David Moyes, as his West Ham side are beaten 2-0 by Watford

1:02:21 > 1:02:22in his first match in charge.

1:02:22 > 1:02:28And Carol has the weather.

1:02:28 > 1:02:32Good morning. It is a fairly cloudy day ahead. We have some rain and

1:02:32 > 1:02:38drizzle moving from the west towards the east, with some snow on hills in

1:02:38 > 1:02:42Scotland, north of the Central Belt. For most of us, it is going to be

1:02:42 > 1:02:47unseasonably mild. I will have more details in around 15 minutes.

1:02:47 > 1:02:49The Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, has shocked

1:02:49 > 1:02:51the nation by refusing widespread demands for him to stand down.

1:02:51 > 1:02:54Giving a speech live on TV while under house arrest,

1:02:54 > 1:02:57during which he had been expected to resign, he instead

1:02:57 > 1:02:59announced his intention to lead next month's congress

1:02:59 > 1:03:00of the ruling party.

1:03:00 > 1:03:04He has now been given a deadline of midday today to quit

1:03:04 > 1:03:04or face action.

1:03:04 > 1:03:15Our Africa editor Fergal Keane has this report.

1:03:15 > 1:03:16MARIMBA MUSIC.

1:03:16 > 1:03:19The very music seemed designed to drain any drama out

1:03:19 > 1:03:20of the moment.

1:03:20 > 1:03:24And perhaps the geniality of the encounter was a giveaway.

1:03:24 > 1:03:28Robert Mugabe didn't look like a man about to walk into the wilderness.

1:03:28 > 1:03:31And his words, delivered 15 minutes into a rambling address,

1:03:31 > 1:03:36confirmed that he intended to stay as leader of the country and party.

1:03:36 > 1:03:42The congress is due in a few weeks from now.

1:03:42 > 1:03:52I will preside over its processes, which must not be prepossessed

1:03:52 > 1:03:55by any acts calculated to undermine it, or to compromise the outcomes

1:03:55 > 1:04:04in the eyes of the public.

1:04:04 > 1:04:06He praised the military and acknowledged the crisis

1:04:06 > 1:04:08in his country and party.

1:04:08 > 1:04:10This appearance has shocked Zimbabweans, who were preparing

1:04:10 > 1:04:14to witness his resignation.

1:04:14 > 1:04:17I think we're being played.

1:04:17 > 1:04:18We are being played.

1:04:18 > 1:04:19I feel let down.

1:04:19 > 1:04:22I think by now we should have produced some sort of result,

1:04:22 > 1:04:23but we have nothing.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25It's like we're back to square one.

1:04:25 > 1:04:28I think the whole nation was expecting him to resign.

1:04:28 > 1:04:29I think we're all shocked.

1:04:29 > 1:04:32I think people are going to be depressed, confused.

1:04:32 > 1:04:33There are big questions now.

1:04:33 > 1:04:36How can Robert Mugabe preside over a party which today removed him

1:04:36 > 1:04:39from the leadership?

1:04:39 > 1:04:41Once-loyal supporters met to warn that he would be impeached

1:04:41 > 1:04:46by parliament if he did't step down from the presidency.

1:04:46 > 1:04:51This is the moment when Robert Mugabe lost power in his own party,

1:04:51 > 1:04:54the party he dominated for so long, and has now been replaced as party

1:04:54 > 1:05:01leader by a man who was one of his closest allies for decades.

1:05:01 > 1:05:02A Crocodile...

1:05:02 > 1:05:05The new leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is known as 'the Crocodile,'

1:05:05 > 1:05:07celebrated here for his ruthless cunning.

1:05:07 > 1:05:11But when it gets his prey...

1:05:11 > 1:05:14He may have agreed to pause, but he is unlikely to stop

1:05:14 > 1:05:27until he ousts his old comrade.

1:05:27 > 1:05:30The American criminal and former cult leader Charles Manson has died

1:05:30 > 1:05:31in prison in California.

1:05:31 > 1:05:32He was 83.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34Manson's followers committed a series of notorious

1:05:34 > 1:05:37murders in 1969.

1:05:37 > 1:05:40Their victims included the actress Sharon Tate,

1:05:40 > 1:05:42wife of director Roman Polanski, at her

1:05:42 > 1:05:43home in Hollywood.

1:05:43 > 1:05:45Manson himself was initially sentenced to death, before

1:05:45 > 1:05:48the penalty was abolished in California, as James Cook reports.

1:05:48 > 1:05:52Charles Manson - the name itself is synonymous with evil,

1:05:52 > 1:05:56a killer who did no killing, but whose crimes shocked the world.

1:05:56 > 1:05:59In August 1969, followers of his cult broke into the Hollywood

1:05:59 > 1:06:04home of Sharon Tate.

1:06:04 > 1:06:06The pregnant actress, who was married to the director

1:06:06 > 1:06:08Roman Polanski, was brutally murdered, along with four

1:06:08 > 1:06:11of her friends.

1:06:11 > 1:06:13The next night, the so-called Manson Family killed again,

1:06:13 > 1:06:23tying up and murdering a wealthy couple.

1:06:23 > 1:06:26This was the ramshackle ranch in Death Valley where Manson lived

1:06:26 > 1:06:28in a commune with his young, runaway fans.

1:06:28 > 1:06:30They apparently used LSD, and saw the guitar playing

1:06:30 > 1:06:33ex-convict as a kind of saint, or perhaps a devil.

1:06:33 > 1:06:36Charles Manson was charged not with wielding a knife or firing

1:06:36 > 1:06:40a gun, but with controlling and directing the killers.

1:06:40 > 1:06:45I don't accept the court, I don't accept the whole situation.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47Like, I was in the desert, minding my business.

1:06:47 > 1:06:53This confusion belongs to you.

1:06:53 > 1:06:54It's your confusion.

1:06:54 > 1:06:58I don't have any confusion.

1:06:58 > 1:07:00I don't have any guilt.

1:07:00 > 1:07:03I know what I've done, and no man can judge me.

1:07:03 > 1:07:04I judge me.

1:07:04 > 1:07:05What have you done, Charlie?

1:07:05 > 1:07:07And why had he done it?

1:07:07 > 1:07:08Apparently to start a race war.

1:07:08 > 1:07:12It would be called Helter-Skelter, and he would use it to seize power.

1:07:12 > 1:07:15In 1971, Manson was sentenced to death on seven counts of murder,

1:07:15 > 1:07:17later commuted to life in prison.

1:07:17 > 1:07:20Over the years, Charles Manson applied for parole time

1:07:20 > 1:07:24and time again.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27But he died a prisoner, having shattered the peace and love

1:07:27 > 1:07:29of the 1960s with diabolical violence.

1:07:29 > 1:07:33Let's get the very latest on this story from our LA reporter Peter

1:07:33 > 1:07:37Bowes.

1:07:37 > 1:07:42Thank you very much for your time this morning. He always wanted to be

1:07:42 > 1:07:48a famous rockstar. You know, we are talking about him now, and this name

1:07:48 > 1:07:53many years on still causes so many painful memories for so many people.

1:07:53 > 1:07:58It certainly does, and strikes fear through the heart of those people

1:07:58 > 1:08:03who lived through that time in the late 1960s. 1969 it was when the

1:08:03 > 1:08:07killings were carried out, and for a brief period before the killers were

1:08:07 > 1:08:11caught and eventually taken to court, people in this town of Los

1:08:11 > 1:08:15Angeles were terrified. The gruesome nature of those killings, Sharon

1:08:15 > 1:08:20Tate, and of course the other four people in her home who were stabbed,

1:08:20 > 1:08:25and over are two night period the next night, apparently choosing a

1:08:25 > 1:08:32random the home of a wealthy couple in the heart of Los Angeles, and

1:08:32 > 1:08:36they were brutal killings as well. Some people remember those days with

1:08:36 > 1:08:40a tremendous amount of fear, and the trial was the longest trial in

1:08:40 > 1:08:44American history at that time, full of drama. And, as we have just been

1:08:44 > 1:08:51hearing in games's report, all the parole hearings that he has appeared

1:08:51 > 1:08:54out over the years, once again reviving memories for people who

1:08:54 > 1:09:01lived through those times -- James's report.Peter, thank you very much.

1:09:01 > 1:09:04Peter reflecting on the news that Charles Manson has died at the age

1:09:04 > 1:09:08of 83.

1:09:08 > 1:09:10The Government has announced plans to transform transport links

1:09:10 > 1:09:13in cities across the UK, making it easier to get

1:09:13 > 1:09:15from the suburbs to the centre.

1:09:15 > 1:09:19It comes just days before the Chancellor delivers his first

1:09:19 > 1:09:20Autumn Budget.

1:09:20 > 1:09:22Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier joins us

1:09:22 > 1:09:24now from Westminster.

1:09:24 > 1:09:29Another essential day ahead.That's right, and it could be a pretty

1:09:29 > 1:09:34significant meeting of this Brexit Cabinet committee. It is basically a

1:09:34 > 1:09:37group of senior ministers who decide the government's negotiating

1:09:37 > 1:09:42position. And we know that part of the sticking point with Brussels in

1:09:42 > 1:09:46these Brexit negotiations is muggy. That is partly because the EU and

1:09:46 > 1:09:49the UK have taken different approaches to settling the bill. It

1:09:49 > 1:09:53is also partly because the UK has been pushing back to make sure

1:09:53 > 1:09:57taxpayers here do not pay any more than they need to. But it is also

1:09:57 > 1:10:01because, so far, the Cabinet has not yet agreed on a way forward when it

1:10:01 > 1:10:05comes to the cash. So when these ministers get together with the

1:10:05 > 1:10:10Prime Minister later on, will they be able to come to an agreement?

1:10:10 > 1:10:13Well, as EU politicians continuously point out, the clock is ticking. So

1:10:13 > 1:10:19the pressure is certainly on, and it is a busy day for the Prime

1:10:19 > 1:10:23Minister. She will be in the West Midlands with the Chancellor,

1:10:23 > 1:10:26highlighting plans to improve transport links between cities and

1:10:26 > 1:10:38suburbs, all with the aim of improving productivity.

1:10:38 > 1:10:41Germany is facing a political crisis, after Angela Merkel's

1:10:41 > 1:10:43attempts to form a three-party coalition government failed

1:10:43 > 1:10:44following weeks of negotiations.

1:10:44 > 1:10:46The leaders of the pro-business Free Democrats unexpectedly pulled

1:10:46 > 1:10:48out of talks last night.

1:10:48 > 1:10:52It represents a serious setback for Mrs Merkel,

1:10:52 > 1:10:55who during 12 years in power was seen as a symbol of stable

1:10:55 > 1:11:05government in Europe.

1:11:05 > 1:11:07Today it is the 70th wedding anniversary of the Queen

1:11:07 > 1:11:09and the Duke of Edinburgh.

1:11:09 > 1:11:11They have been married longer than any other royal

1:11:11 > 1:11:12couple in history.

1:11:12 > 1:11:15They are celebrating their platinum wedding anniversary with the release

1:11:15 > 1:11:17of three new portraits, and will be spending their day

1:11:17 > 1:11:19with friends and family privately at Windsor.

1:11:19 > 1:11:21Our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell reports.

1:11:21 > 1:11:24In the gloom of postwar Britain, their marriage was, in the words

1:11:24 > 1:11:26of Winston Churchill, a flash of colour.

1:11:26 > 1:11:29He was the dashing naval officer, she the future Queen.

1:11:29 > 1:11:31In the 70 years since, theirs has proved to be

1:11:31 > 1:11:36a relationship which has truly stood the test of time.

1:11:36 > 1:11:43It's worked because their personalities and their characters

1:11:43 > 1:11:45complement one another.

1:11:45 > 1:11:47They're quite different, in many ways, but Prince Philip

1:11:47 > 1:11:50is the first to make the Queen laugh uproariously,

1:11:50 > 1:11:54and is probably the only person who can also tell her to shut up.

1:11:54 > 1:12:02Pictured in 1939, 18-year-old Philip first caught Princess Elizabeth's

1:12:02 > 1:12:04eye on a visit to Dartmouth Naval College.

1:12:04 > 1:12:07It was the beginning of a friendship which grew

1:12:07 > 1:12:12into a lifelong partnership.

1:12:12 > 1:12:15The Queen has referred to him as her strength and stay.

1:12:15 > 1:12:18the Duke remarked that tolerance is essential to any happy marriage,

1:12:18 > 1:12:20and the Queen, he added, has that quality in abundance.

1:12:20 > 1:12:2370 years after the royal couple exchanged their vows here,

1:12:23 > 1:12:27the bells of Westminster Abbey will peal for more than three hours

1:12:27 > 1:12:27in their honour.

1:12:27 > 1:12:30These images have been released by the Palace to mark

1:12:30 > 1:12:31the couple's milestone anniversary.

1:12:31 > 1:12:34The Queen and Prince Philip will celebrate at a private party

1:12:34 > 1:12:49at Windsor Castle this evening.

1:12:49 > 1:12:53Some lovely quotes from the front pages. Prior to the wedding, Prince

1:12:53 > 1:12:57Philip told the Queen Mother he had fallen in love completely with her

1:12:57 > 1:13:01daughter. Philip once remarked my job, first, second and last, is

1:13:01 > 1:13:09never too late the Queen down.70 years, quite something.

1:13:09 > 1:13:12The President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has defied demands

1:13:12 > 1:13:14from the army and his own party to step down.

1:13:14 > 1:13:18In an address to the nation last night, the 93-year-old made no

1:13:18 > 1:13:20mention of a resignation, even though the ruling Zanu-PF Party

1:13:20 > 1:13:23has given him until 10:00am today to hand over power

1:13:23 > 1:13:26or face impeachment.

1:13:26 > 1:13:28Our correspondent Ben Brown is in the country's capital,

1:13:28 > 1:13:29Harare, for us.

1:13:29 > 1:13:34What has the reaction been?

1:13:34 > 1:13:38So many people expecting him to perhaps stand down, and that is not

1:13:38 > 1:13:43what he did.Good morning, Louise. A huge sense of disappointment and

1:13:43 > 1:13:47anger, really, among many Zimbabweans who watch that speech

1:13:47 > 1:13:52last night, just assuming he was finally going to resign. Especially

1:13:52 > 1:13:56after being sacked by his own ZANU PF ruling party. This is the

1:13:56 > 1:14:00headline in one of the newspapers this morning, Louise, arrogant

1:14:00 > 1:14:06Mugabe disregards ZANU PF and says he is going nowhere. Let's get some

1:14:06 > 1:14:12reaction now from one of the opposition members of Parliament.

1:14:12 > 1:14:17James is from the opposition party in Zimbabwe. What was your reaction

1:14:17 > 1:14:22when you saw the speech last night? There is nothing Mugabe said which I

1:14:22 > 1:14:27did not expect. You must know the system in ZANU PF of entitlement and

1:14:27 > 1:14:32impunity. So that was entitlement and impunity at play.Are you angry

1:14:32 > 1:14:36he has refused to resign, despite all this pressure, the

1:14:36 > 1:14:41demonstrations we saw here?I am angry he remains president, because

1:14:41 > 1:14:45his sell by date was in the year 2000, when he lost to the opposition

1:14:45 > 1:14:51party, and again he lost in 2002, 2005 and 2008. So President Mugabe

1:14:51 > 1:14:57has no business, or status.We gather there will be an impeachment

1:14:57 > 1:15:01process if he doesn't resign in the next few hours. Tell us about that.

1:15:01 > 1:15:06How long would that take, to impeach him?

1:15:06 > 1:15:09It depends how fast parliament moves. It could take a few months.

1:15:09 > 1:15:16The beauty ease it is a process provided for in the Constitution

1:15:16 > 1:15:19section 90 seven. It is the only hope for the country that the

1:15:19 > 1:15:24President is removed in terms of that section of the Constitution.

1:15:24 > 1:15:28What about the people, we saw thousands demonstrating over the

1:15:28 > 1:15:32weekend on the streets behind us. They were euphoric. They thought

1:15:32 > 1:15:36Robert Mugabe was on the verge of going. Do you think there will be

1:15:36 > 1:15:39more demonstrations now he is refusing to resign?I'm not sure

1:15:39 > 1:15:45about that but what you saw was an expression of the anger people have

1:15:45 > 1:15:50had over the years. It might surprise someone like you that there

1:15:50 > 1:15:55was all of that euphoria. It doesn't surprise a person like me. People

1:15:55 > 1:16:01have wanted President Mugabe to go since 2000, when we started voting

1:16:01 > 1:16:07for the MDCT.Mugabe, the oldest head of state at 93, and it looks

1:16:07 > 1:16:11like he could still be around, as you have said, for at least a couple

1:16:11 > 1:16:17of weeks or months even.What we must now tell Zimbabwe is that the

1:16:17 > 1:16:25removal of Mugabe must follow due process. We want to go to

1:16:25 > 1:16:29constitutionalism. That is what the community expects us to do. And we

1:16:29 > 1:16:33must follow the Constitution. The best way to do it is either

1:16:33 > 1:16:38President Mugabe resigns by notifying the Speaker of parliament

1:16:38 > 1:16:42in terms of 96 section one of the Constitution, he informs the Speaker

1:16:42 > 1:16:48of parliament, or he is removed by impeachment.Thank you very much for

1:16:48 > 1:16:58being with us, opposition MP here in Harare, capital Zimbabwe. The

1:16:58 > 1:17:01impeachment proceedings might take time, and against all of the

1:17:01 > 1:17:06pressure from the people, his own party and the army, Robert Mugabe is

1:17:06 > 1:17:10still technically President of this country, even though,

1:17:10 > 1:17:14extraordinarily, he is still technically under house arrest after

1:17:14 > 1:17:17the military takeover.Yes, extraordinary times. Thank you very

1:17:17 > 1:17:18much indeed.

1:17:18 > 1:17:20You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

1:17:20 > 1:17:24The main stories this morning:

1:17:24 > 1:17:30That is where we start, the embattled President Robert Mugabe is

1:17:30 > 1:17:34facing a deadline set by his own party to resign after a surprise

1:17:34 > 1:17:40speech where he refused to stand down. Charles Manson, notorious head

1:17:40 > 1:17:44of a cold, which he directed to commit nine murders, has died in

1:17:44 > 1:17:52hospital aged 83. We will have more on that news about Charles Manson

1:17:52 > 1:17:55with the man who wrote a very interesting book about his life and

1:17:55 > 1:17:56times as well.

1:17:56 > 1:17:59Time now to take a look at this morning's weather with Carol.

1:17:59 > 1:18:00That is a very nice

1:18:00 > 1:18:03That is a very nice picture, a bit of splashing about in the mud.Yes,

1:18:03 > 1:18:08it is a cracker. For some of us we have some rain. And the forecast is

1:18:08 > 1:18:12quite unsettled. One thing you will notice is it is going to be mild

1:18:12 > 1:18:16through the course of the day and for some it is already miles.

1:18:16 > 1:18:20Tomorrow it will be windy offence. Quite strong wind as well. Today low

1:18:20 > 1:18:24pressure is dominating the weather with fronts moving west to east,

1:18:24 > 1:18:29taking rain with it. Snow on the Scottish hills. Look at this heat

1:18:29 > 1:18:32coming from the Atlantic. South-westerly winds, which for us

1:18:32 > 1:18:37is a mild direction, as indicated in yellow here. It moves across the

1:18:37 > 1:18:40British Isles, except for the north-east of Scotland, where it is

1:18:40 > 1:18:45still cold and away from the west of Scotland it is a cold start with

1:18:45 > 1:18:49rain, snow on the hills north of the Central Lowlands, so some slushy

1:18:49 > 1:18:52weather on the high routes and rain moving across Northern Ireland and

1:18:52 > 1:18:55northern England this morning. Here we are already into the high

1:18:55 > 1:19:00temperatures as you can see. In the west, 11 and 12s. That rain will

1:19:00 > 1:19:06move east through the morning. It will leave a lot of clout behind it,

1:19:06 > 1:19:08some murky conditions, damp and drizzly weather, but nothing wrong

1:19:08 > 1:19:11with those temperatures for this time of November. Through the day we

1:19:11 > 1:19:15hang onto a lot of rain across northern England and Scotland. It

1:19:15 > 1:19:20will be particularly heavy. -- it won't be particular heavy. This

1:19:20 > 1:19:23noble fate and wrangle will turn later and then showers across Wales

1:19:23 > 1:19:31coming in. Some brightness across parts of east Wales, Herefordshire,

1:19:31 > 1:19:33the west Midlands, for example. Temperatures above where they should

1:19:33 > 1:19:37be at the state in November. The average is seven or eight. We are

1:19:37 > 1:19:42looking at 13s. The tempo to will continue to climb. Across Scotland,

1:19:42 > 1:19:46three in the Northern Isles, and about seven. Those temperatures will

1:19:46 > 1:19:51also climb. Through this evening and overnight rain rejuvenates across

1:19:51 > 1:19:54Scotland. We have a band coming from the south-west moving north

1:19:54 > 1:20:00eastwards. This south-westerly wind, this cloud and murky weather. Look

1:20:00 > 1:20:03at the temperatures now. Even at night across the north of the

1:20:03 > 1:20:06country we are looking at temperatures higher than they

1:20:06 > 1:20:10currently are. As we move through tomorrow we still have the rainbows

1:20:10 > 1:20:14in north eastwards. Then later in the day we have a new band of rain

1:20:14 > 1:20:18coming in across Northern Ireland, fringing into western parts of the

1:20:18 > 1:20:23UK. A feature of tomorrow's weather will be the wind. It will be quite

1:20:23 > 1:20:27windy. In the west in exposed areas we are looking at some gales.

1:20:27 > 1:20:32Temperatures climbing up. 10 degrees in Aberdeen. 14 in Plymouth and St

1:20:32 > 1:20:37Helier. As we head into the end of the week, low pressure is driving

1:20:37 > 1:20:40the weather and we have a cold front putting in an appearance. Behind

1:20:40 > 1:20:44that we see a return to some cooler conditions. So to translate that

1:20:44 > 1:20:50onto the charts, on Wednesday it is still cloudy, still very mild for

1:20:50 > 1:20:54the time of year, but it is turning cooler on Thursday.Thank you very

1:20:54 > 1:20:55much.

1:20:58 > 1:21:02Let's take you back to the story that has been breaking over the last

1:21:02 > 1:21:06hour. The notorious cult leader Charles Manson, convicted of the

1:21:06 > 1:21:11murder of nine people, has died in prison. Geoff Quinn wrote a

1:21:11 > 1:21:15biography about Charles and joins us from Texas on the phone. Thank you

1:21:15 > 1:21:20for coming on the programme. So, reacting to the news Charles Manson

1:21:20 > 1:21:26has died at the age of 83. For those viewers just turning on their TVs,

1:21:26 > 1:21:32remind us why he was so notorious. Charles Manson was not only

1:21:32 > 1:21:40notorious for the so-called Tate Lobbe murders in America, in 1969,

1:21:40 > 1:21:47but also for his great sense of public relations. He played the

1:21:47 > 1:21:53American people and people across the globe like a puppet master.

1:21:53 > 1:21:59Always able every few years to get back to our attention with an

1:21:59 > 1:22:04incendiary interview, claiming he was engaged to a young follower, a

1:22:04 > 1:22:08couple of years ago there was a near death, supposedly. Frankly, I am a

1:22:08 > 1:22:13little surprised that he expired this time. If Manson somehow could

1:22:13 > 1:22:19be a where of the reaction to his death, he would be thrilled. What he

1:22:19 > 1:22:22always wanted more than anything else was attention. And obviously

1:22:22 > 1:22:27right until the end that's what he got.He always carefully managed

1:22:27 > 1:22:30that attention and the press interest in him as well. These

1:22:30 > 1:22:35murders took place at the end of the 1960s. It is worth reminding people

1:22:35 > 1:22:40that he did not take part in the murders. He convinced others as part

1:22:40 > 1:22:47of this Manson family to take the lives of others.That is true.

1:22:47 > 1:22:51People always forget when we say that that he was in fact personally

1:22:51 > 1:23:01involved in the murder of a ranch hand in LA named Shorty Shea, after

1:23:01 > 1:23:05the Tate murders, so despite what mythology would tell us, Charles

1:23:05 > 1:23:10Manson shed blood and killed himself, so he was not only someone

1:23:10 > 1:23:16who incited others to murder, he was a murderer himself.And, Jeff, you

1:23:16 > 1:23:21looked into his early life in your book - did you discover anything, or

1:23:21 > 1:23:25speak to anyone that suggested that there may be things to be learned

1:23:25 > 1:23:31which led to what he did in later life?Actually, I was able to talk

1:23:31 > 1:23:36to his sister and his cousin and these were people who had never been

1:23:36 > 1:23:43interviewed before that always tried to stay out of sight. Even as a

1:23:43 > 1:23:48child, five, six years old, Manson was fascinated with violence, he was

1:23:48 > 1:23:50particularly interested... (INAUDIBLE).

1:23:50 > 1:23:59And he actually attacked his cousin with a sickle when he was still a

1:23:59 > 1:24:03tiny child. He was disagreeable from an early age. He was violent.

1:24:03 > 1:24:07Hundreds of people who have talked about him and dealt with in three is

1:24:07 > 1:24:12life, I could not find one person who could ever recall one kind thing

1:24:12 > 1:24:16he had done for another person or a generous thing he had done. He was

1:24:16 > 1:24:21simply a despicable human being. Thank you for your time this

1:24:21 > 1:24:30morning. The Life and Times of Charles Manson. Charles Manson has

1:24:30 > 1:24:35died at the age of 83. The law changed in California and he was

1:24:35 > 1:24:40sentenced to life in prison. It is just coming up to 7:25am.

1:24:40 > 1:24:44Women are being advised to sleep on their side in the last three

1:24:44 > 1:24:46months of pregnancy to avoid having a stillborn baby.

1:24:46 > 1:24:50A study of just over 1,000 women found the risk doubles if women go

1:24:50 > 1:24:52to sleep on their backs in the third trimester.

1:24:52 > 1:24:56Our reporter Ali Fortescue has more.

1:24:56 > 1:25:00I knew something was wrong.

1:25:00 > 1:25:04I woke up in the morning and I just knew something was wrong.

1:25:04 > 1:25:07And we went to the hospital and when they couldn't find

1:25:07 > 1:25:10the heartbeat they nipped off to go and find a doctor,

1:25:10 > 1:25:12I knew that there was something not quite right.

1:25:12 > 1:25:13Lots of cards.

1:25:13 > 1:25:16These are his footprints.

1:25:16 > 1:25:18Grace lost baby Lewy at 35 weeks.

1:25:18 > 1:25:23She still doesn't know what caused her stillbirth.

1:25:23 > 1:25:26He was so tiny, he was just perfectly formed.

1:25:26 > 1:25:29He had a beautiful upper lip.

1:25:29 > 1:25:33And I think you always think about the what-ifs,

1:25:33 > 1:25:35what if I did this differently, why has this happened,

1:25:35 > 1:25:37what have I done wrong?

1:25:37 > 1:25:38A lot of guilt.

1:25:38 > 1:25:48Just sadness beyond anything that I have ever experienced.

1:25:48 > 1:25:51Grace says she was never given any advice on sleep positions

1:25:51 > 1:25:55when she was pregnant.

1:25:55 > 1:25:59She's one of around 1,000 women to have taken part in the Midlands

1:25:59 > 1:26:02and North of England Stillbirth Study, which is the largest

1:26:02 > 1:26:03of its kind.

1:26:03 > 1:26:08It found that one in 225 pregnancies in the UK ended in stillbirth.

1:26:08 > 1:26:12That's around 11 babies a day.

1:26:12 > 1:26:16It also found that the risk of stillbirth drops by nearly 4%

1:26:16 > 1:26:16if women sleep on their side in the third trimester.

1:26:16 > 1:26:19if women sleep on their side in the third trimester,

1:26:19 > 1:26:22which could save around 130 lives a year in the UK.

1:26:22 > 1:26:25# There were two in the bed, then the little one said,

1:26:25 > 1:26:26"Roll over".

1:26:26 > 1:26:28The study comes alongside a Charity campaign.

1:26:28 > 1:26:30The advice is simple, sleeping on your side could halve

1:26:30 > 1:26:32the risk of a stillbirth.

1:26:32 > 1:26:35You might end up in all sorts of positions when asleep.

1:26:35 > 1:26:39But the important thing to remember is to start on your side.

1:26:39 > 1:26:47It's hard to know for sure but it's thought when you lie

1:26:47 > 1:26:50on your back you could be putting weight on important blood vessels

1:26:50 > 1:26:52and restrict the flow of blood to the baby.

1:26:52 > 1:26:56Research has shown that the number of stillbirths in the UK has gone

1:26:56 > 1:26:59down, but the figures here are still high and above those

1:26:59 > 1:27:00in many other high-income countries.

1:27:00 > 1:27:04We want to be one of the best countries in the world and one

1:27:04 > 1:27:06of the safest places to have a baby.

1:27:06 > 1:27:08So there's lots of work to do.

1:27:08 > 1:27:10And, actually, this study will contribute to that,

1:27:10 > 1:27:12because it has given us some simple advice to give to women to cut

1:27:13 > 1:27:15the risk of having a stillbirth.

1:27:15 > 1:27:16Grace has now started a new chapter.

1:27:16 > 1:27:18Nine months ago, Rubin joined the family.

1:27:18 > 1:27:23Hearing the baby cry in the delivery room was just amazing.

1:27:23 > 1:27:27She'll never know what would have happened if she'd had this advice,

1:27:27 > 1:27:30but Grace hopes her story and her part in the study

1:27:30 > 1:27:31can save lives.

1:27:31 > 1:27:34We'll be speaking to an obstetrician involved in the study just

1:27:34 > 1:27:36after 8am this morning.

1:27:36 > 1:27:38You can get details of organisations offering support with the issues

1:27:38 > 1:27:45discussed in that film at bbc.co.uk/actionline.

1:27:45 > 1:27:49Let us know what you think about that and anything else we are

1:27:49 > 1:27:52covering this morning. We are going to get the news, travel and weather

1:27:52 > 1:31:14wherever you are this morning. We will see

1:31:14 > 1:31:16as we head into the rest of the week.

1:31:16 > 1:31:19I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

1:31:19 > 1:31:22in half an hour.

1:31:22 > 1:31:25Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:31:25 > 1:31:28Here is a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News:

1:31:28 > 1:31:30The Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, has defied widespread

1:31:30 > 1:31:32demands that he step down.

1:31:32 > 1:31:35In an address to the nation last night, the 93-year-old made no

1:31:35 > 1:31:38mention of a resignation, even though the ruling Zanu-PF Party

1:31:38 > 1:31:40has given him until 10:00am today to hand over power

1:31:40 > 1:31:49or face impeachment.

1:31:49 > 1:31:52Germany is facing a political crisis, after Angela Merkel's

1:31:52 > 1:31:54attempts to form a three-party coalition government failed

1:31:54 > 1:31:55following weeks of negotiations.

1:31:55 > 1:31:57The leaders of the pro-business Free Democrats unexpectedly pulled

1:31:57 > 1:31:59out of talks last night.

1:31:59 > 1:32:01It represents a serious setback for Mrs Merkel,

1:32:01 > 1:32:05who during 12 years in power was seen as a symbol of stable

1:32:05 > 1:32:12government in Europe.

1:32:12 > 1:32:15Police say there were no injuries to suggest any other person

1:32:15 > 1:32:18was involved in the death of missing teenager Gaia Pope.

1:32:18 > 1:32:21The 19-year-old's body was found on Saturday in a field near Swanage,

1:32:21 > 1:32:2311 days after she was last seen.

1:32:23 > 1:32:25Dorset Police are treating her death as unexplained,

1:32:25 > 1:32:39pending toxicology results.

1:32:39 > 1:32:41Officials says the search for an Argentine naval submarine

1:32:41 > 1:32:44that went missing with 44 crew on board is being hampered

1:32:44 > 1:32:45by bad weather conditions.

1:32:45 > 1:32:47Teams from several countries have intensified their efforts

1:32:47 > 1:32:51in the South Atlantic to find the ARA San Juan submarine,

1:32:51 > 1:32:53which vanished last Wednesday off the Argentine coast.

1:32:53 > 1:32:56The US navy has sent a second ship with special tracking equipment

1:32:56 > 1:32:58and deep-sea rescue modules to join the search.

1:32:58 > 1:33:01Today it is the 70th wedding anniversary of the Queen

1:33:01 > 1:33:02and the Duke of Edinburgh.

1:33:02 > 1:33:05They have been married longer than any other Royal

1:33:05 > 1:33:05couple in history.

1:33:05 > 1:33:08They are celebrating their platinum wedding anniversary with the release

1:33:08 > 1:33:11of three new portraits, and will be spending their day

1:33:11 > 1:33:20with friends and family privately at Windsor.

1:33:20 > 1:33:24And that picture and the others are on the front page of many of the

1:33:24 > 1:33:28papers. There is a lovely piece in the Telegraph, saying she loved him

1:33:28 > 1:33:32from the first time she saw him. He was her act of rebellion, she her

1:33:32 > 1:33:34act of conformity.

1:33:34 > 1:33:39In ten minutes' time, we will bring you the weather, with Carol.

1:33:39 > 1:33:44I was going to say the weather will have Carol, but it is the other way

1:33:44 > 1:33:54around, normally.Which came first, Carol or the weather?You can do the

1:33:54 > 1:34:00weather, if you like.No, I can barely do the sport! David Moyes has

1:34:00 > 1:34:05had a tricky start, and you do look at him sometimes, I said to you

1:34:05 > 1:34:09earlier, a penny for those thoughts, having left Everton, gone to

1:34:09 > 1:34:14Manchester United, gone abroad, back again.What about positive thoughts?

1:34:14 > 1:34:20He is thinking I am at a new club, I will turn things around and we will

1:34:20 > 1:34:22have a great rest of season.

1:34:22 > 1:34:24West Ham remain in the Premier League's relegation zone,

1:34:24 > 1:34:27after David Moyes lost his first game in charge.

1:34:27 > 1:34:28They were beaten 2-0 at Watford.

1:34:28 > 1:34:31Watford's goals came in either half, from Will Hughes and this

1:34:31 > 1:34:32strike from Richarlison.

1:34:32 > 1:34:34Another impressive performance from Marco Silva's side -

1:34:34 > 1:34:37the Watford boss remains linked with the vacant manager's

1:34:37 > 1:34:38job at Everton.

1:34:38 > 1:34:41And disappointment for Moyes, in his 500th Premier League game

1:34:41 > 1:34:45as a manager.

1:34:45 > 1:34:48We made a couple of chances to get ourselves goals.

1:34:48 > 1:34:49We didn't get them today.

1:34:49 > 1:34:51You know, the goals change games.

1:34:51 > 1:34:54If you get them, you know, it covers a multitude of sins.

1:34:54 > 1:34:56We didn't take the chances today.

1:34:56 > 1:34:59So we have to play better, that's what I think.

1:34:59 > 1:35:01I didn't really enjoy bits of the performance.

1:35:01 > 1:35:05But, if we'd got the goals in, I think it would have turned things

1:35:05 > 1:35:05around a bit.

1:35:05 > 1:35:08In the Scottish Premiership, Hearts returned to Tynecastle

1:35:08 > 1:35:10after six months away while the main stand was redeveloped.

1:35:10 > 1:35:13They could only manage a 1-1 draw against Partick Thistle,

1:35:13 > 1:35:16though, Kris Doolan's late equaliser spoiling the home side's day.

1:35:16 > 1:35:19Chris Coleman's new job after resigning as manager of Wales

1:35:19 > 1:35:21will be to take charge of Championship side Sunderland.

1:35:21 > 1:35:25They are bottom of the table, after just one win in 17 matches.

1:35:25 > 1:35:27Coleman has signed a 2.5-year deal to replace Simon Grayson,

1:35:27 > 1:35:29who was sacked last month.

1:35:29 > 1:35:36He will be in charge for tomorrow night's game at Aston Villa.

1:35:36 > 1:35:39No Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal or Andy Murray in the end-of-season

1:35:39 > 1:35:42World Tour Final in London, but we still got plenty

1:35:42 > 1:35:44of entertainment, and a victory for Grigor Dimitrov.

1:35:44 > 1:35:47He was up against David Goffin, in a final few predicted.

1:35:47 > 1:35:50Dimitrov is called Baby Fed, because his style is like Federer's,

1:35:50 > 1:35:53and he showed off his skill in the decisive third set.

1:35:53 > 1:35:56He went on to win the biggest title of his career,

1:35:56 > 1:36:03and in the process, earn nearly £2 million.

1:36:03 > 1:36:05It's been a tremendous two weeks for me, honestly.

1:36:05 > 1:36:07It's such an honour to play here.

1:36:07 > 1:36:11This two weeks has been one of the best two weeks I've ever had.

1:36:11 > 1:36:14I'm lost for words, I'm not going to lie.

1:36:14 > 1:36:23Usually I'm good at that, but today is just one of those days.

1:36:23 > 1:36:26The finale to the European golf season came down to the very last

1:36:26 > 1:36:29hole, but Tommy Fleetwood has won the race to Dubai for the first

1:36:29 > 1:36:32time, just ahead of fellow Englishman Justin Rose.

1:36:32 > 1:36:34Rose had started the day in terrific form.

1:36:34 > 1:36:37But the wheels came off his round on the 12th hole,

1:36:37 > 1:36:39putting his second shot into the water.

1:36:39 > 1:36:41Two more mistakes handed Fleetwood the title.

1:36:41 > 1:36:43He had an anxious wait before it was confirmed,

1:36:43 > 1:36:52but it has been quite a year for the 26-year-old from Southport.

1:36:52 > 1:36:54It's been a big one.

1:36:54 > 1:36:56Baby Frankie arriving safely, and he's great.

1:36:56 > 1:36:58I'm going to get married in a couple of weeks.

1:36:58 > 1:37:02And yeah, I mean, it's been the best year of my life,

1:37:02 > 1:37:03by an absolute mile.

1:37:03 > 1:37:05And, you know, on the course, it's been great.

1:37:05 > 1:37:09I've played some of the best golf of my career, and done things that

1:37:09 > 1:37:10I've never done before.

1:37:10 > 1:37:13And, off the course, I'm just such a happy person.

1:37:13 > 1:37:16So, it's - you know, we'll have to think of ways

1:37:16 > 1:37:18to better this one.

1:37:18 > 1:37:21Champions Exeter have gone back to the top of rugby union's

1:37:21 > 1:37:24English Premiership, but they were made to work for it

1:37:24 > 1:37:25by Harlequins at Sandy Park.

1:37:25 > 1:37:28It wasn't the best performance from the defending champions,

1:37:28 > 1:37:31but they ended up sealing a bonus-point win thanks to two

1:37:31 > 1:37:32tries from Jonny Hill.

1:37:32 > 1:37:34That puts them two points clear of Saracens.

1:37:34 > 1:37:40There were also wins yesterday for Bath and Leicester.

1:37:40 > 1:37:43It has seemed like a long build-up, but England have arrived in Brisbane

1:37:43 > 1:37:46ahead of the first Test at the Gabba, starting on Thursday.

1:37:46 > 1:37:49No Ben Stokes, of course, as the all-rounder awaits the result

1:37:49 > 1:37:51of the investigation into an incident outside a Bristol

1:37:51 > 1:37:53nightclub in September.

1:37:53 > 1:37:56The ECB have said Stokes won't join the tour while he remains

1:37:56 > 1:37:57under police investigation.

1:37:57 > 1:38:00His team-mates, though, are still hopeful he can play a part

1:38:00 > 1:38:03at some stage.

1:38:03 > 1:38:05It'd be amazing if Stokesy comes out here.

1:38:05 > 1:38:08I am sure you guys would all think the same.

1:38:08 > 1:38:09He's a fantastic cricketer.

1:38:09 > 1:38:12We don't know what's going on at the moment.

1:38:12 > 1:38:14That's completely out of our hands, and until that's resolved,

1:38:14 > 1:38:17we actually don't know what is going to happen.

1:38:17 > 1:38:20But I'm sure that it will get resolved, sooner rather than later,

1:38:20 > 1:38:23we hope, because at the end of the day, we want the best

1:38:23 > 1:38:29cricketers playing in the Ashes.

1:38:29 > 1:38:34I have been listening to a lot of the players being interviewed over

1:38:34 > 1:38:38the last few days, and one of the great things they talk about is how

1:38:38 > 1:38:45the locals are supporting, you know, obviously the home side, and just

1:38:45 > 1:38:52giving already a little tiny bit of needling to the ponds, already.--

1:38:52 > 1:39:01Poms.

1:39:01 > 1:39:05We are cutting down on spending this year compared to last year.Is that

1:39:05 > 1:39:19why you haven't got the present?I have got Sally one, Carol, Naga...

1:39:19 > 1:39:23Steph has a present coming her way. If you want to pick one up, for me,

1:39:23 > 1:39:28that would be lovely.I have loads of ideas. Not least there are 60,000

1:39:28 > 1:39:36bottles of the sector in this distribution centre alone --

1:39:36 > 1:39:44prosecco. We have thousands of Ox is of sweets, as well. I think Dan will

1:39:44 > 1:39:48be up for that. Louise is a very healthy person, so I will have to

1:39:48 > 1:39:52look at what I will get her, and Sally might like some prosecco as

1:39:52 > 1:39:56well. It is around 3500 different product lines. Easy for them at this

1:39:56 > 1:40:01time of year. There are around 400 people who work here, and we are

1:40:01 > 1:40:04talking about this today because new research suggests we are not going

1:40:04 > 1:40:08to spend as much this Christmas as we have done in previous years. I

1:40:08 > 1:40:12will talk a bit about why that is the case in a minute. First we will

1:40:12 > 1:40:17chat to John, he is the managing director for this division, this

1:40:17 > 1:40:22region. Tell us a bit about how you prepare for Christmas.Hello, Steph.

1:40:22 > 1:40:26At the core, Christmas is our biggest trading period of the year

1:40:26 > 1:40:29so a lot of planning and preparation goes into ensuring that we get it

1:40:29 > 1:40:34right. Our customers tend to trade up at Christmas, so we have a lot of

1:40:34 > 1:40:40exciting, new, irresistible products from deserts to party food to

1:40:40 > 1:40:46delicious confectionery. And our stores are geared up to suggest that

1:40:46 > 1:40:51we can serve customers over the Christmas period -- dessert. Both in

1:40:51 > 1:40:56stores and remotely, there is a lot of extra work, but a great time of

1:40:56 > 1:40:59year in terms of customers.And how are people shopping? What is

1:40:59 > 1:41:03interesting is how people have changed from the big shop two more,

1:41:03 > 1:41:07Little and often. We absolutely see that. What we tend

1:41:07 > 1:41:16to find is that people are increasingly busy so they tend to

1:41:16 > 1:41:19shop more, little and often, and from a convenience point of view

1:41:19 > 1:41:22that is convenient for us. We're enjoying that changing customer a

1:41:22 > 1:41:30beer.Thank you for your time this morning. That is one perspective,

1:41:30 > 1:41:35from the co-operative group. What do other retailers say? This research

1:41:35 > 1:41:39from These are you saying that it could be a tough time from all

1:41:39 > 1:41:43retailers this year -- Visa. This is something we have talked a lot about

1:41:43 > 1:41:48in the past, haven't we? Tell us your thoughts on what is happening

1:41:48 > 1:41:53in retail at the moment.Inflation has gone up 3% now, so household

1:41:53 > 1:41:58budgets are squeezed, as wages are not going up by anywhere near that.

1:41:58 > 1:42:04An inflation rate of 3% is an average, so some prices are going up

1:42:04 > 1:42:08by more than 3%, and if you are paying for those products, and your

1:42:08 > 1:42:14wages are only going up by 1%, you are clearly worse off. People are

1:42:14 > 1:42:18feeling the pinch.Who are the winners and losers?Fashion is

1:42:18 > 1:42:21finding it really tough at the moment. Sales in fashion have

1:42:21 > 1:42:26declined. They have for a long time and you will see that in the sales

1:42:26 > 1:42:30going on. Experienced retailers, so food and beverage, hospitality, they

1:42:30 > 1:42:36have all seen increases in sales, actually. People want to go out have

1:42:36 > 1:42:39experiences, and leisure. In a way they are substituting that for

1:42:39 > 1:42:43buying product now. We can do that online and when people want to go

1:42:43 > 1:42:46out, they want to have fun and have an enjoyable time.You mentioned

1:42:46 > 1:42:56online. I will bring in James from Experion.We have experienced a boom

1:42:56 > 1:43:01in online logistics, because of the changing way we all shop. While big

1:43:01 > 1:43:05distribution centres like this and delivery vehicles are the kind of

1:43:05 > 1:43:10visual manifestation of that, it is all powered by data.And how much is

1:43:10 > 1:43:15that changing? Is online still way we are seeing a lot of growth?We

1:43:15 > 1:43:18are certainly witnessing a boom. Last year on Black Friday and cyber

1:43:18 > 1:43:23Monday alone weep processed 24 million address validation checks,

1:43:23 > 1:43:28which is vital to make sure that people get their presence in time.

1:43:28 > 1:43:32And this will increase further, by about 20%.Thank you very much for

1:43:32 > 1:43:36your time. Before we go, we will have a look down this isle. It is

1:43:36 > 1:43:43fascinating is seeing how this work, works, they scan things, and I will

1:43:43 > 1:43:47go and carry on looking for presents. I am actually rubbish at

1:43:47 > 1:43:52buying presents. I am to obvious, I need some inspiration.I think you

1:43:52 > 1:43:56might have been a bit obvious with your 60,000 bottles of prosecco for

1:43:56 > 1:44:07Carol. Thank you, so you a bit later on.-- see you a bit later on.

1:44:07 > 1:44:10A plan to improve public transport links in cities across the UK,

1:44:10 > 1:44:12and backing for driverless cars.

1:44:12 > 1:44:15It is a fitting way to start the week for a Government

1:44:15 > 1:44:19that is trying to show it does still have a sense of direction.

1:44:19 > 1:44:21Some £250 million have been allocated to the West Midlands.

1:44:21 > 1:44:23Business Minister Greg Clark can tell us more.

1:44:23 > 1:44:26He joins us now from our Birmingham newsroom.

1:44:26 > 1:44:30I know you are in Birmingham because you are talking about an

1:44:30 > 1:44:34announcement on transport today. No new money, but you are talking about

1:44:34 > 1:44:37improving transport links between city centres and suburbs. Can you

1:44:37 > 1:44:43give me a sort of practical example of

1:44:43 > 1:44:48Yes, I will. It is any investment that will be

1:44:48 > 1:44:49Yes, I will. It is any investment that will be available to city

1:44:49 > 1:44:54regions like Birmingham. One of the things we know is, if you think of

1:44:54 > 1:44:58London, it is quite easy to get around London. You can go from

1:44:58 > 1:45:03Croydon to central London in 20 minutes. In and around our the

1:45:03 > 1:45:08cities you have towns are not far apart but quite hard to get around

1:45:08 > 1:45:13to. It is not as easy to zip backwards and forwards. So what this

1:45:13 > 1:45:20will do is to say to places like Birmingham and the West Midlands and

1:45:20 > 1:45:27other areas across the country where the travel between the city centre

1:45:27 > 1:45:31and the surrounding towns, between the smaller towns themselves, slows

1:45:31 > 1:45:37people down, takes a long time to get to work, difficult for business

1:45:37 > 1:45:42to get in touch with clients, they should be upgraded so that you can

1:45:42 > 1:45:46improve the productivity of those areas.And I want to know if you are

1:45:46 > 1:45:52putting your money where your mouth is. If we look back at London, 1.3

1:45:52 > 1:45:56billion spent in London, you say the links are better, Birmingham will

1:45:56 > 1:46:02get £250 million, what do you say to those who say that there is this

1:46:02 > 1:46:07north- south divide.This is part of the long-term industrial strategy

1:46:07 > 1:46:10which is for the first time looking at those connections between the

1:46:10 > 1:46:15smaller towns and the big cities. What we will set out next week is a

1:46:15 > 1:46:19whole series of measures so that places right across the country will

1:46:19 > 1:46:26have more funds themselves. The Mayor of the West Midlands here has

1:46:26 > 1:46:31been campaigning for precisely this. One of the things he wants to do is

1:46:31 > 1:46:36connect the light rail from the Black Country, Riley Hill near

1:46:36 > 1:46:41Dudley, to the rest of the connections in the West Midlands. It

1:46:41 > 1:46:45is going to make a big difference. This is something that they have

1:46:45 > 1:46:51been campaigning. I think it is right that we devolve those funds so

1:46:51 > 1:46:54that people in charge locally can make those decisions and there is

1:46:54 > 1:46:58more to come.Let's talk about the budget which is of course this week

1:46:58 > 1:47:01as well. And we know that the election was meant to revitalise the

1:47:01 > 1:47:04party along with the party conference. What does Philip Hammond

1:47:04 > 1:47:10have to do to make sure that happens?One of the important things

1:47:10 > 1:47:16that we have to do is to address some of the opportunities but also

1:47:16 > 1:47:20some of the challenges over the next few years. And one of the things we

1:47:20 > 1:47:25are talking about today is the future of new technology in cars. In

1:47:25 > 1:47:29West Midlands, famous the world over for its cars. Cars are changing and

1:47:29 > 1:47:35there is a revolution in how they are powered. They are going from

1:47:35 > 1:47:39diesel and petrol to electric. They are being automated. You've got

1:47:39 > 1:47:43intelligence systems driving them. We need to be at the forefront of

1:47:43 > 1:47:48that. We can be. We have one of the best reputations in the world. To be

1:47:48 > 1:47:52at the forefront you have to invest in it and so what we are doing

1:47:52 > 1:47:56through the budget and this will be a big theme of it is investing in

1:47:56 > 1:48:01the areas for the future in research and development and also in the

1:48:01 > 1:48:05skills people will need to make use of these technologies. So looking to

1:48:05 > 1:48:10the long-term, making sure we are fit for the future as a country, is

1:48:10 > 1:48:15the aim of the project.I want to ask specifically about Philip

1:48:15 > 1:48:20Hammond. He has been in the papers this weekend. He was given the

1:48:20 > 1:48:29nickname "Friendless feel", others say he is set up to fail. Is it his

1:48:29 > 1:48:34last budget?Anyone in his position faces a difficult job to balance the

1:48:34 > 1:48:37requirements that we have, to properly fund the public services

1:48:37 > 1:48:44and also to invest in the future. He is a guy with a cool head, he has

1:48:44 > 1:48:47been looking at all of the requirements that are there. The

1:48:47 > 1:48:54fact that what we are talking about today here in the West Midlands,

1:48:54 > 1:48:58investment, new investment in the industries of the future, investment

1:48:58 > 1:49:02in training for people so that they have those skills, investment in

1:49:02 > 1:49:06making sure that our towns and cities are better connected, I think

1:49:06 > 1:49:10it shows the whole government is looking at what we need in the

1:49:10 > 1:49:14long-term to be prosperous and to improve our productivity.Let's talk

1:49:14 > 1:49:18about Brexit as well. We know that there is a Cabinet meeting as far as

1:49:18 > 1:49:22I understand. There is a suggestion that we might be prepared, the

1:49:22 > 1:49:26government may be prepared to double the divorce bill. Would you back

1:49:26 > 1:49:31that? Figures of £40 billion. ARU suggesting it is the right idea?

1:49:31 > 1:49:38Forgive me, the right approach to any negotiations, including this

1:49:38 > 1:49:48one, is to exercise discipline, and as the EU is doing, that you form

1:49:48 > 1:49:52your negotiating position, you deploy that in a united way, rather

1:49:52 > 1:49:58than talking about it in advance. We want to get a good deal. I think

1:49:58 > 1:50:02everyone... There is a real groundswell of opinion not just in

1:50:02 > 1:50:07this country but I think on the continent that we want and need to

1:50:07 > 1:50:13get the deal that brings us together.OK, can I just...And go

1:50:13 > 1:50:17on to talk about these important terms on the final deal as to how to

1:50:17 > 1:50:22trade with each other which, given the opportunities that I have just

1:50:22 > 1:50:28been talking about, it would be crazy to do that in a full hearted

1:50:28 > 1:50:32and vigorous way.Would you back money being spent and how would you

1:50:32 > 1:50:36sell that to other members of your party who seem vehemently opposed?

1:50:36 > 1:50:44As I say, I take a simple view on this. When we discuss our

1:50:44 > 1:50:49negotiating position, you have to do that in private. I think you need to

1:50:49 > 1:50:53maintain the discipline of that. He set out your position and then you

1:50:53 > 1:50:58take that to deploy in the negotiations to come. It doesn't

1:50:58 > 1:51:02serve our national interest for individual ministers to speculate

1:51:02 > 1:51:08about what that position should be. The Business Secretary joining us

1:51:08 > 1:51:10from Birmingham, Greg Clark, thank you for your time.

1:51:10 > 1:51:13Let's find out what the weather has in store.

1:51:13 > 1:51:21It was milder than we expected it to be. You are quite right. The last

1:51:21 > 1:51:25three Mondays it has been really cold. Today away from the west it is

1:51:25 > 1:51:29fairly mild to start the day with temperatures in double figures. And

1:51:29 > 1:51:34through the day it will be a mild week for most of it. There will be

1:51:34 > 1:51:38some rain at times. It will be windy especially from tomorrow. What we

1:51:38 > 1:51:41have at the moment is low pressure dominating the weather. With the

1:51:41 > 1:51:42fronts taking rain from

1:51:42 > 1:51:43dominating the weather. With the fronts taking rain from the west to

1:51:43 > 1:51:48the east, it will deposit snow on the Scottish hills above the Central

1:51:48 > 1:51:52Lowlands, and also want again we've got some south-westerly wind coming

1:51:52 > 1:51:57in, that is a mild direction for us, as indicated by the yellow on the

1:51:57 > 1:52:00chart. Still the Northern Isles and the north-east Scotland sticking out

1:52:00 > 1:52:06in the blues for you. It is cold. It is a cold start across Scotland this

1:52:06 > 1:52:09morning. We have snow in the Highlands of the hills, so there is

1:52:09 > 1:52:19going to -- there will be some slushy weather. And then there will

1:52:19 > 1:52:23be some band of rain coming in and some drizzle. So this afternoon it

1:52:23 > 1:52:26is cloudy and wet across northern England. The rain won't be very

1:52:26 > 1:52:31heavy foremost. Cloud across East Anglia, down to Kent, the Midlands,

1:52:31 > 1:52:35the Isle of Wight, and that is thick enough for the odd spot of light

1:52:35 > 1:52:39rain and drizzle. The same into south-west England. You can see the

1:52:39 > 1:52:44odd spot of rain coming out of the cloud. It would be raining all of

1:52:44 > 1:52:48the time. In north Wales around Herefordshire and the west Midlands

1:52:48 > 1:52:52we could well see some sunshine. Northern Ireland, lots of cloud

1:52:52 > 1:52:59through the day. Some splashes of rain at times. Cloudy and still cold

1:52:59 > 1:53:02particularly in the Northern Isles. The maximum temperature only two

1:53:02 > 1:53:07degrees. Through the evening and overnight we see the rain rejuvenate

1:53:07 > 1:53:14across Scotland with Winterman is in the hills. South-westerly winds

1:53:14 > 1:53:18again. Look a mild it is. These would be good daytime temperatures

1:53:18 > 1:53:22for the time of year. The mild weather pushes up further north into

1:53:22 > 1:53:26Scotland. It won't be as cold at night as well. Tomorrow we start

1:53:26 > 1:53:30with the rain in Scotland continuing to drift north eastwards. Then a new

1:53:30 > 1:53:34band comes in across Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and

1:53:34 > 1:53:40south-west England. Tomorrow will be noticeably windy and gales in the

1:53:40 > 1:53:45north-west. Temperatures by then 11 in Glasgow, ten in Aberdeen. Quite

1:53:45 > 1:53:50different from today. 14 as we push into the south-west. Heading into

1:53:50 > 1:53:54Wednesday, low pressure is dominating the weather. We have a

1:53:54 > 1:53:58couple of cold fronts coming in. At the end of the week on Friday it

1:53:58 > 1:54:03will start to turn a bit colder from the north.Thank you very much

1:54:03 > 1:54:03will start to turn a bit colder from the north.Thank you very much for

1:54:03 > 1:54:13that. Are you an apology.Why? Someone said I love your new haircut

1:54:13 > 1:54:18and I didn't notice you have had a haircut.I don't mind. It is fine.

1:54:18 > 1:54:25Is it too late?No.

1:54:25 > 1:54:28As we've been hearing this morning, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

1:54:28 > 1:54:30are marking their 70th wedding anniversary.

1:54:30 > 1:54:33But how do you make a success of a long marriage?

1:54:33 > 1:54:35By noticing things, I think.

1:54:35 > 1:54:38To find out, Breakfast's John McGuire has been speaking to one

1:54:38 > 1:54:40couple who are also celebrating seven decades together,

1:54:40 > 1:54:43and are as happy today as they were on their wedding day.

1:54:43 > 1:54:49We are delighted to share such a special year with you and hope that

1:54:49 > 1:54:55your celebrations are particularly happy and memorable.Among the cards

1:54:55 > 1:54:59in honour of Jim and Betty's wedding anniversary is one from another

1:54:59 > 1:55:05platinum couple.We had one for our 60th, one for our 60 feet and this

1:55:05 > 1:55:13one.They first met as teenagers as Bettie, evacuee from Bristol, writer

1:55:13 > 1:55:19Jim's place in Gloucestershire. They were married five years later in

1:55:19 > 1:55:251947.The Princess has been in the Abbey for nearly an hour.The royal

1:55:25 > 1:55:28wedding of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh took place in

1:55:28 > 1:55:33Westminster Abbey before Kings, queens and outside hundreds of

1:55:33 > 1:55:39thousands of people. Although of course there celebrations were more

1:55:39 > 1:55:43modest, Betty and Jim were determined not to let post-war

1:55:43 > 1:55:49austerity hamper their special day. Clothing coupons, you know. I had to

1:55:49 > 1:55:56borrow a wedding dress.I had a little car that are sold to my

1:55:56 > 1:56:06father and he gave me the money that I used.We were lucky to have a

1:56:06 > 1:56:10wedding cake. A two tier wedding cake. Usually the cakes were made

1:56:10 > 1:56:14out of cardboard and then they would lift it up and there would be a

1:56:14 > 1:56:18little cake inside. Food was rationed.From the palace twopenny,

1:56:18 > 1:56:22Elizabeth and her husband waived to the crowds.The Queen's golden

1:56:22 > 1:56:30anniversary were invited to Buckingham Palace. And 20 years on

1:56:30 > 1:56:34Betty and Jim are the guests of honour at a family party with their

1:56:34 > 1:56:44five daughters, 14 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Yes, I like

1:56:44 > 1:56:48to see them after school, on the weekend and stuff. And you know they

1:56:48 > 1:56:52have been to Buckingham Palace?Have a?Yes, when they were married for

1:56:52 > 1:56:5650 years.I didn't know that.Do you know who else has been married for

1:56:56 > 1:57:0170 years?The Queen.My friends at school were like, that is a long

1:57:01 > 1:57:05time.It is indeed. What is their secret?We have always loved each

1:57:05 > 1:57:14other. We have always been very loving. That is the thing. We don't

1:57:14 > 1:57:18treat each other like strangers. We always kiss good night. Hold hands.

1:57:18 > 1:57:28Yes. So, has Jim and Betty danced the

1:57:28 > 1:57:33anniversary waltz or possibly their 70th time, hopefully they will keep

1:57:33 > 1:57:38dancing for many more.

1:57:38 > 1:57:44I love them. I think there was a clue in their chairs they were

1:57:44 > 1:57:48sitting in. They were very close together. It was definitely his and

1:57:48 > 1:57:55hers. See what I mean?And did you notice that Betsy said quite a lot

1:57:55 > 2:01:21and Jim just said yes. He just agreed. That is the key.

2:01:23 > 2:01:26Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

2:01:26 > 2:01:29Robert Mugabe clings to power as he refuses to stand down

2:01:29 > 2:01:32as president of Zimbabwe.

2:01:32 > 2:01:34In an extraordinary speech live on TV

2:01:34 > 2:01:36in which he had been expected to quit,

2:01:36 > 2:01:46the 93-year-old instead promised to stay on for weeks to come.

2:01:46 > 2:01:54The operation I have alluded to did not amount to a threat to our well

2:01:54 > 2:01:58cherished constitutional order, nor what it a challenge to my authority

2:01:58 > 2:02:09as head of state and government.

2:02:11 > 2:02:13Good morning.

2:02:13 > 2:02:16It's Monday 20th November.

2:02:16 > 2:02:21Also this morning: Charles Manson, the notorious head of an American

2:02:21 > 2:02:23cult which he directed to carry out a series of murders,

2:02:23 > 2:02:29has died in hospital aged 83.

2:02:29 > 2:02:31Reducing the number of still born babies -

2:02:31 > 2:02:33pregnant mums are told that sleeping on their sides

2:02:33 > 2:02:35could save hundreds of lives.

2:02:35 > 2:02:4070 years since their marriage at Westminster Abbey,

2:02:40 > 2:02:43the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

2:02:43 > 2:02:45celebrate their platinum wedding anniversary with the release

2:02:45 > 2:02:50of three new portraits.

2:02:50 > 2:02:56Good morning from this distribution centre where today, I am talking

2:02:56 > 2:03:00about how retailers prepare for the festive season. If the analysts are

2:03:00 > 2:03:03right, it's going to be a tough one, so I will be looking at what is

2:03:03 > 2:03:05happening.

2:03:05 > 2:03:07In sport - a terrible return to the Premier League

2:03:07 > 2:03:08for David Moyes

2:03:08 > 2:03:11as his West Ham side are beaten 2-0 by Watford

2:03:11 > 2:03:14in his first match in charge.

2:03:14 > 2:03:16West Ham remain in the relegation zone.

2:03:16 > 2:03:20And Carol has the weather.

2:03:20 > 2:03:25It's a cloudy start the day. It will be cloudy throughout much of the

2:03:25 > 2:03:28day, with the rain pushing from the west east and possibly some snow in

2:03:28 > 2:03:31the hills of the Highlands. But it is much milder and becoming milder

2:03:31 > 2:03:37as we go through this week.

2:03:37 > 2:03:40The Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, has shocked

2:03:40 > 2:03:45the nation by refusing widespread demands for him to stand down.

2:03:45 > 2:03:48Giving a speech live on TV while under house arrest

2:03:48 > 2:03:50during which he had been expected to resign, he instead

2:03:50 > 2:03:52announced his intention to lead next month's congress

2:03:52 > 2:03:54of the ruling party.

2:03:54 > 2:03:56He's now been given a deadline until ten o'clock this morning

2:03:56 > 2:03:57to quit or face action.

2:03:57 > 2:04:07Our Africa Editor Fergal Keane has this report.

2:04:09 > 2:04:11MARIMBA MUSIC.

2:04:11 > 2:04:13The very music seemed designed to drain any

2:04:13 > 2:04:15drama out of the moment.

2:04:15 > 2:04:17And perhaps the geniality of the encounter was a giveaway.

2:04:17 > 2:04:20Robert Mugabe didn't look like a man about to walk into the wilderness.

2:04:20 > 2:04:24And his words, delivered 15 minutes into a rambling address,

2:04:24 > 2:04:28confirmed that he intended to stay as leader of the country and party.

2:04:28 > 2:04:37The congress is due here in a few weeks from now.

2:04:37 > 2:04:40I will preside over its processes, which must not be prepossessed

2:04:40 > 2:04:43by any acts calculated to undermine it, or to compromise the outcomes

2:04:43 > 2:04:53in the eyes of the public.

2:04:54 > 2:04:56He praised the military and acknowledged the crisis

2:04:56 > 2:04:58in his country and party.

2:04:58 > 2:05:00This appearance has shocked Zimbabweans, who were preparing

2:05:00 > 2:05:04to witness his resignation.

2:05:04 > 2:05:05I think we're being played.

2:05:05 > 2:05:07We are being played.

2:05:07 > 2:05:09I feel let down.

2:05:09 > 2:05:12I think by now we should have produced some sort of result,

2:05:12 > 2:05:13but we have nothing.

2:05:13 > 2:05:15It's like we're back to square one.

2:05:15 > 2:05:17I think the whole nation was expecting him to resign.

2:05:17 > 2:05:18I think we're all shocked.

2:05:18 > 2:05:21I think people are going to be depressed, confused.

2:05:21 > 2:05:22There are big questions now.

2:05:22 > 2:05:25How can Robert Mugabe preside over a party which removed him

2:05:25 > 2:05:28from the leadership?
