0:00:07 > 0:00:10Hello - this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Theresa May gets the backing of her cabinet to offer

0:00:13 > 0:00:14a bigger Brexit payout.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Senior ministers have agreed that Britain should offer

0:00:16 > 0:00:18more money to the EU,

0:00:16 > 0:00:18

0:00:18 > 0:00:22if it clears the path for trade talks to begin.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25But the Prime Minister is facing anger from some of her own MPs

0:00:25 > 0:00:30who are accusing the EU of holding the UK to ransom.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Good morning - it's Tuesday the 21st of November.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Zimbabwe's parliament prepares to take legal action to force

0:00:53 > 0:00:54Robert Mugabe from power.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Early screening for lung cancer.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01Doctors say a trial using mobile scanners in supermarket car parks

0:01:01 > 0:01:04has proved a huge success.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08Work experience is the link between education and the economy.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12But in some places fewer than 1 in 10 young people get any.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm taking a look at how to improve that.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17In sport, could Mike Ashley's days at Newcastle be numbered

0:01:17 > 0:01:22following a formal bid for the football club?

0:01:22 > 0:01:25And it's only November, but could getting in the festive

0:01:25 > 0:01:34mood early but help improve your winter wellbeing?

0:01:34 > 0:01:39It's like celebrating joy. Like, I was so excited to come to the

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Christmas markets this evening. Christmas trees up at ridiculous

0:01:42 > 0:01:47times. Everyone is waiting to put pictures of Christmas trees on

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Facebook.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53And Carol has the weather.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58You can see the lights of Regent Street behind me. It is mild around

0:01:58 > 0:02:03London, mile across many parts of the UK. Some rain in the north and

0:02:03 > 0:02:07the West so that further east you are, the dry conditions are here but

0:02:07 > 0:02:09more details on 15 minutes.

0:02:09 > 0:02:09Good morning.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11First, our main story.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Theresa May looks set to offer the EU a bigger divorce bill payment

0:02:15 > 0:02:17in return for starting trade talks next month.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20The BBC understands the move was approved at a meeting of senior

0:02:20 > 0:02:21cabinet ministers yesterday.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24The UK had been told it must make more progress

0:02:24 > 0:02:26on its financial offer, if talks are to move

0:02:26 > 0:02:27into the next phase.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29But political uncertainty in Germany has complicated

0:02:29 > 0:02:32the picture, with Chancellor Angela Merkel saying she would prefer

0:02:32 > 0:02:36new elections rather than lead a minority government.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40It follows a breakdown in coalition talks, which plunged the country

0:02:40 > 0:02:42into political crisis.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45We can get the latest on that from our correspondent,

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Damien McGuinness, who is in Berlin.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49But first, let's speak to our Political Correspondent Alex

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Forsyth in Westminster.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Alex, what else came out of yesterday's meeting?

0:02:54 > 0:02:59We are. To reason they effectively gathered some of her senior figures

0:02:59 > 0:03:04around her to try to thrash out the issue of money because that has been

0:03:04 > 0:03:08stuck just -- such as stumbling block -- block and part of the

0:03:08 > 0:03:11problem for to reason they is there a different views about what should

0:03:11 > 0:03:15be done in Cabinet, some saying let's agree to some more, others

0:03:15 > 0:03:20saying, if you give away too much, you have no cards that to play down

0:03:20 > 0:03:24the line. To reason they had already indicated the UK would meet its

0:03:24 > 0:03:33current Budget obligations. That amounts to some 20 billion euros. It

0:03:33 > 0:03:39is understood when the meeting took place, there was broad agreement the

0:03:39 > 0:03:44UK must up its financial offer but only if the European Union agrees to

0:03:44 > 0:03:48start talking trade in December in return. No figures have been

0:03:48 > 0:03:52discussed yet but the danger for to reason they is if she agrees to pay

0:03:52 > 0:03:58too much, she could anger some of her own Brexit MPs who say it is a

0:03:58 > 0:04:01fine line to keep everyone happy and there is this added convocation

0:04:01 > 0:04:05because there is a time pressure on these talks and now there is

0:04:05 > 0:04:08political uncertainty in Germany, one of the EU's biggest figures

0:04:08 > 0:04:12which could further complicates things or slow things up and sum up

0:04:12 > 0:04:16thinking that to reason they should have waited to see how that plays

0:04:16 > 0:04:20out before giving more in terms of money.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Our correspondent, Damien McGuinness, is in Berlin.

0:04:22 > 0:04:31Could we see a snap election in Germany in the coming months?

0:04:31 > 0:04:36It really depends what happens over the next few days. Right now, there

0:04:36 > 0:04:42is political gridlock because as Alex said, there is a failure really

0:04:42 > 0:04:46to form a coalition here. It's important not to overstate the

0:04:46 > 0:04:50connection between Brexit in the political crisis in Germany because

0:04:50 > 0:04:54there is no direct impact in one sense. That is because the

0:04:54 > 0:05:01negotiations feature exactly zero Times in the coalition talks. There

0:05:01 > 0:05:07was a document in which Brexit was not mentioned once and any attempts

0:05:07 > 0:05:13by pro- Brexit MPs would be rebuffed. German politicians across

0:05:13 > 0:05:19the board are united in the Brussels stance effectively and how it's been

0:05:19 > 0:05:23dealing with Brexit. Having said that, it's also true that political

0:05:23 > 0:05:28instability here in Germany is not good for the EU as a whole and it

0:05:28 > 0:05:32there is a deadlock year and gridlock in a long drawn-out process

0:05:32 > 0:05:40of new elections, that does mean it heart are potentially for Germany to

0:05:40 > 0:05:44offer or take part in pushing forward. To many of the Britain a

0:05:44 > 0:05:50better deal. It does make things more difficult and does mean there

0:05:50 > 0:05:55could be more political instability over the next few months.Much to

0:05:55 > 0:05:56consider.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59We'll speak to Conservative MP Nigel Evans and Green Party

0:05:59 > 0:06:08co-leader Caroline Lucas about this just after 8 o'clock.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11A scheme aimed at detecting lung cancer, earlier is to be extended

0:06:11 > 0:06:13to thousands more patients.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15NHS England says the use of mobile scanners at supermarkets

0:06:15 > 0:06:17and shopping centres in Greater Manchester proved

0:06:17 > 0:06:20so successful, similar schemes will now be rolled out to other

0:06:20 > 0:06:21parts of the country.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Caroline Rigby has more.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28It has saved my life, definitely saved my life, because I could have

0:06:28 > 0:06:34gone maybe two or three years and it could have spread everywhere.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Michael Brady was diagnosed with lung cancer thanks to a project

0:06:38 > 0:06:42which offered extra screening to smokers and former smokers in some

0:06:42 > 0:06:47of the poorest Manchester areas. Patients thought to be most at risk

0:06:47 > 0:06:50were given CT scans in Mobile trucks and supermarkets at shopping

0:06:50 > 0:06:56centres. Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer in the UK, claiming

0:06:56 > 0:07:0135,000 each year. NHS England says during the pilot one case was

0:07:01 > 0:07:05detected every 33 people screamed and four out of five cases were

0:07:05 > 0:07:10diagnosed early when the disease is easier to treat. -- easier. Similar

0:07:10 > 0:07:16schemes in London and the North of England. Many have welcomed it but

0:07:16 > 0:07:22there are warnings there will be extra staff needed if more lives are

0:07:22 > 0:07:24to be saved.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26President Trump has announced that the US is re-designating

0:07:26 > 0:07:29North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism, nine years

0:07:29 > 0:07:31after it was removed from the list.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33He said the move would trigger "very large"

0:07:33 > 0:07:36additional sanctions to be announced later.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Mr Trump blamed the country's nuclear programme, and support

0:07:38 > 0:07:43for what he called international acts of terrorism.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45South Korea has welcomed the move.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Robert Mugabe is faces being impeached after refusing

0:07:47 > 0:07:50to step down as President of Zimbabwe.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, could ask parlimament to begin

0:07:53 > 0:08:01the process today.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03The 93-year old, who remains under armed guard

0:08:03 > 0:08:06in the Presidential palace, is accused of allowing his wife

0:08:06 > 0:08:09to usurp power and many believe he is now incapable of governing.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Last night, the military suggested a plan was emerging

0:08:12 > 0:08:16for the transfer of power.

0:08:16 > 0:08:21We have made the consultation with the President to agree on a roadmap

0:08:21 > 0:08:27to the prevailing situation in the country. The Zimbabwe defence and

0:08:27 > 0:08:32security services, are encouraged by new developments which include

0:08:32 > 0:08:41conduct between the President and the former vice president. He is

0:08:41 > 0:08:45expected in the country shortly.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47The Argentine Navy says noises picked up by two ships

0:08:47 > 0:08:50in the South Atlantic on their sonar equipment are not coming

0:08:50 > 0:08:52from a missing Argentine submarine.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55The sub with 44 crew on board disappeared 6 days ago

0:08:55 > 0:08:56off the coast of Argentina.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Relatives are waiting patiently for news.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03The United States has sent specialist underwater rescue

0:09:03 > 0:09:06equipment to help in the search, which has been hampered

0:09:06 > 0:09:10by heavy winds.

0:09:10 > 0:09:17Paul Hollywood has accused former presenters Mary Berry and Mel and

0:09:17 > 0:09:22Sue of abandoning the show when it moved to Channel 4. He says the

0:09:22 > 0:09:26criticism he received was not fun and that he felt he became the most

0:09:26 > 0:09:34hated man in the country. You can't have a pop at Mary Berry, can you? I

0:09:34 > 0:09:40don't know. He is on the front page of many of the papers. You are going

0:09:40 > 0:09:45to be with us for the papers but you have all the sport fries as well.I

0:09:45 > 0:09:53got my glasses on. For reading the paper later. Can't read the paper

0:09:53 > 0:10:00without them?No. Those are excellent.Aren't they brilliant?I

0:10:00 > 0:10:11will have a go. Hello.Oh, my goodness. Very good. Can I do them

0:10:11 > 0:10:19now? We have all tried my glasses on.They are fabulous.I just love

0:10:19 > 0:10:30them. Anyway. What's going to happen at Newcastle?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Newcastle have been quite a leaky club at the moment. Would be

0:10:34 > 0:10:37interesting to find out where information is coming from.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Could Mike Ashley's time as owner of Newcastle United be coming

0:10:40 > 0:10:41to an end?

0:10:41 > 0:10:42A financial firm led by British businesswoman

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Amanda Staveley has launched a takeover bid

0:10:44 > 0:10:46in the region of £300 million.

0:10:46 > 0:10:54Newcastle are yet to comment publicly on the news.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Brighton twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at home to Stoke.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00They are now unbeaten in five Premier League matches while Stoke

0:11:00 > 0:11:05are only four points above the relegation zone.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Australia rugby union head coach Michael Cheika is being investigated

0:11:07 > 0:11:10over his comments and conduct during the defeat against

0:11:10 > 0:11:11England on Saturday.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14He reacted angrily when a series of decisions went against his team

0:11:14 > 0:11:27at Twickenham.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31And the rematch between David Haye and Tony Bellew has been pushed back

0:11:31 > 0:11:32to either March or May next year.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Haye has torn a bicep in a freak training accident.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Bellew won the original fight - and the second clash had been due

0:11:39 > 0:11:48to take place at London's O2 Arena next month.

0:11:48 > 0:11:53You as training and training on the stairs, we have seen his extreme

0:11:53 > 0:11:58training regime. -- he was. He was on stairs and he fell down. They

0:11:58 > 0:12:05were just stairs. In the gym, there are sets of stairs.Justin Johnson

0:12:05 > 0:12:09did that? He fell down the stairs and he was the overwhelming

0:12:09 > 0:12:15favourite.What was -- was he training?He was foolishly wearing

0:12:15 > 0:12:19socks. I've fallen down the stairs a couple of times before. It's not

0:12:19 > 0:12:31nice. Top to bottom of the stairs. And I didn't have anything to drink.

0:12:31 > 0:12:37At first? No, tumbling.Twice in two months. Was it the middle of the

0:12:37 > 0:12:46night and was a dark?I'd just had new baby. I was discombobulated.

0:12:46 > 0:12:53That is a good work -- good word. There was no style involved. Full

0:12:53 > 0:13:01tumble and crying.We are all glad you have recovered. Moving on from

0:13:01 > 0:13:08the stairs tumble. Paul Hollywood is on the front page of the newspapers.

0:13:08 > 0:13:16Also front page of the mail as well. We are talking about people being

0:13:16 > 0:13:27offered cancer scans. The front page of the Times this morning.

0:13:27 > 0:13:33Mentioning the death of Charles Manson. The picture of here is of

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Angela Merkel. The possibility of another German election next few

0:13:38 > 0:13:50months. The Brexit bill. The likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg who are saying

0:13:50 > 0:13:55that Brexit talks should stall. I love how newspapers use pictures

0:13:55 > 0:14:00to tell a story. That is the Angela Merkel front page. She might have

0:14:00 > 0:14:03had something in her right. It made the Telegraph?

0:14:03 > 0:14:10In a different form. Angela Merkel facing battle for

0:14:10 > 0:14:14survival. You could use that for an eye test.

0:14:14 > 0:14:20In America, you get politicians, like Ed Miliband doing the cough

0:14:20 > 0:14:25mixture. This is an interesting story.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Sailors from the Royal Navy will perform that first changing of the

0:14:29 > 0:14:33guards next week at Buckingham Palace. What are you reading over

0:14:33 > 0:14:38there?

0:14:38 > 0:14:42British Gas, you might remember that announced they were getting rid of

0:14:42 > 0:14:47the standard variable tariff, the most expensive tariff, which people

0:14:47 > 0:14:52can end up on, where it is variable depending on what is happening with

0:14:52 > 0:14:56gas prices and electricity prices, which is leading the papers this

0:14:56 > 0:15:00morning. The government, you will remember, Theresa May suggested she

0:15:00 > 0:15:07would bring a cap on energy prices, so it is energy companies trying to

0:15:07 > 0:15:11pre-empt what might happen. They say that is not why they have done it.

0:15:11 > 0:15:17It is good news for people who are on these rates. Just another story,

0:15:17 > 0:15:22obviously there is lots of food delivery companies now, mainly to

0:15:22 > 0:15:27your home, but apparently you can get it to the pub. If you are in a

0:15:27 > 0:15:31pub, or an establishment that doesn't serve food, you can deliver

0:15:31 > 0:15:36it now to serve food straight to the pub. I am sure I have done that

0:15:36 > 0:15:47before. I am sure I have had Peter in a pub.Have you?Yes -- pizza in

0:15:47 > 0:15:55a pub.Talking about weird injuries, Stuart broad, get in on this picture

0:15:55 > 0:16:00here, he has been mysteriously injured in Brisbane ahead of the

0:16:00 > 0:16:06first test on Thursday. That is a bruise. Do you know what happened?

0:16:06 > 0:16:13He was hit by a stray golf ball. An assailant overhit his driver and

0:16:13 > 0:16:17struck him on the back. Joe Root was having a laugh. It could be quite

0:16:17 > 0:16:24serious. We need him. And before I go, I want to show you this.

0:16:24 > 0:16:31Favourite headline, who else would you call if you had a club and

0:16:31 > 0:16:37needed a manager? Fireman Sam, West Brom in talks with Sam Allardyce. I

0:16:37 > 0:16:41have not given any way to that. I thought it was a nice headline.

0:16:41 > 0:16:53Lovely stories as well about Jana Novotna, she worked for the BBC for

0:16:53 > 0:16:57BBC Wimbledon. She was so warmhearted and brilliant. The news

0:16:57 > 0:17:04of her death hit many people hard. Thank you.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06From festive adverts to music in the shops,

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Christmas seems to arrive earlier and earlier every year.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11But how soon is too soon to start celebrating?

0:17:11 > 0:17:14It's been suggested that putting up your decorations sooner can

0:17:14 > 0:17:15actually make you feel happier.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Do you agree?

0:17:16 > 0:17:23We went to the Manchester Christmas Markets to find out if people

0:17:23 > 0:17:26are feeling warm and fuzzy inside or frustrated that it's too

0:17:26 > 0:17:34much too soon.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38I love Christmas. It is my favourite time of year.November is a good

0:17:38 > 0:17:45time.No, I think December onwards, not November.The earlier, the

0:17:45 > 0:17:52better. I love the vibes. I have been looking forward for this.Yes.

0:17:52 > 0:17:57By the time Christmas comes, I am fed up with John Lewis and

0:17:57 > 0:18:03Sainsbury's.Wait until December. When I was little, we put it up on

0:18:03 > 0:18:10Christmas Eve.It can start in September, we will still be here.It

0:18:10 > 0:18:16is celebrating joy. I was so excited to come this evening.People start

0:18:16 > 0:18:21putting up the trees at ridiculous times. Everyone is rating to put up

0:18:21 > 0:18:25pictures of Christmas trees on Facebook.As soon as Halloween is

0:18:25 > 0:18:28done, anything can come out Christmas related. Is it

0:18:28 > 0:18:36controversial?I think we need to know what you think about this.I

0:18:36 > 0:18:39really want to hold on until December the first.That is too

0:18:39 > 0:18:47early for me.I can see.The weekend of the ninth or the 10th, giving you

0:18:47 > 0:18:53a buildup to get the juices flowing. Lots of you have got your

0:18:53 > 0:18:56decorations up. Some of you like to start early and some of you just

0:18:56 > 0:19:01before Christmas.As soon as the tree goes up, I start eating Brazil

0:19:01 > 0:19:07nuts.Nothing wrong with that.You can't have an entire month of nuts.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11It looks like Christmas has come early.Good morning, Carol.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13It looks like Christmas has come early.Good morning, Carol. Good

0:19:13 > 0:19:19morning. Keep Christmas in December. You see why businesses have to start

0:19:19 > 0:19:24early. Look at the magnificent light twinkling in the darkness on Regents

0:19:24 > 0:19:28Street. London is a light with Christmas lights. As indeed are at

0:19:28 > 0:19:34many other towns and villages in the UK. The forecast for us all is

0:19:34 > 0:19:40fairly cloudy and mild, and some will see some rain at times. If we

0:19:40 > 0:19:44start looking around the country at nine o'clock this morning, we have

0:19:44 > 0:19:48some rain across northern England and Scotland, and a little dry

0:19:48 > 0:19:52weather to start with as well. It is very mild at the moment.

0:19:52 > 0:19:58Temperatures will go up quite high for the time of year. We have rain

0:19:58 > 0:20:02from the west moving east through the course of the day. So the dry

0:20:02 > 0:20:06weather will be across central and eastern areas with cloud at times.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10We might see a little drizzle coming out of the cloud at times and

0:20:10 > 0:20:14brightness in the shelter of the hills. By the time we get to three

0:20:14 > 0:20:18o'clock in the afternoon we will have the rain moving north across

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Scotland. Further south into northern England we will have rain

0:20:22 > 0:20:24crossing the Pennines. For north-east England you will have

0:20:24 > 0:20:28some bright skies and then for the Midlands there is rain across the

0:20:28 > 0:20:33north Midlands, nothing very heavy, four East Anglia, Essex, Kent, the

0:20:33 > 0:20:38Isle of Wight, a lot of cloud around with limited brightness. To the

0:20:38 > 0:20:42south-west of England, we have a fair bit of cloud, the odd spot of

0:20:42 > 0:20:46rain or drizzle coming out of that, and we have rain across parts of

0:20:46 > 0:20:51Wales as well, a lot where it is not raining, and for Northern Ireland

0:20:51 > 0:20:55one or two showers and a little brightness across the north of

0:20:55 > 0:21:02Northern Ireland. It is unseasonably mild today. As we move through the

0:21:02 > 0:21:05evening in overnight we have distinctive band of rain. One in the

0:21:05 > 0:21:09north of Scotland will be heavy and persistent with winter is across the

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Northern Isles. And here the wind will strengthen gusting to gales or

0:21:13 > 0:21:18possibly even severe gales. But a mild night for most of us. The final

0:21:18 > 0:21:22for Scotland, the north-east, in cold conditions. But for the rest of

0:21:22 > 0:21:26us, double figures. As we head on into tomorrow, more rain in the

0:21:26 > 0:21:32north and west. Some of it will be heavy and persistent, particularly

0:21:32 > 0:21:36so across, for example, Cumbrian Fels, Snowdonia. The further east,

0:21:36 > 0:21:42it will be dry. This rain is heading towards the east. Still mild for

0:21:42 > 0:21:45many but cooler conditions spreading across into northern England and

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Northern Ireland. And then by the time we get to Thursday we have the

0:21:49 > 0:21:53rain clearing away from the south-east, a new band will come in

0:21:53 > 0:21:56across the south-west and we also have a band across the northern half

0:21:56 > 0:22:01of Scotland, which will turn wintry later on in the day as it is going

0:22:01 > 0:22:04to be colder. In between, there will be some dry weather, and just south

0:22:04 > 0:22:08by then that looks like it is hanging onto the milder conditions.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11For the rest of us, temperatures will be tumbling. It is lovely here

0:22:11 > 0:22:13this morning, I must say.

0:22:13 > 0:22:13will be tumbling. It is lovely here this morning, I must say.Isn't it

0:22:13 > 0:22:25lovely, I must say. Thank you.Let's move to one of the main stories this

0:22:25 > 0:22:26morning, Zimbabwe.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29His party want to impeach him and the military are on the streets

0:22:29 > 0:22:32of the capital, Harare, but despite this, Robert Mugabe

0:22:32 > 0:22:33remains the President of Zimbabwe.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37So what now for the man who has ruled the country for 37 years?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Gilbert Nyambabvu is editor of the news website,

0:22:39 > 0:22:41New Zimbabwe, and he joins us now.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Good morning and thank you very much for joining us. It has been an

0:22:45 > 0:22:48extraordinary couple of days. So what will happen? There is talk of

0:22:48 > 0:22:53impeachment. Is it likely to start happening today?The more important

0:22:53 > 0:22:56development overnight, contact has been initiated between the two

0:22:56 > 0:23:03principal players in this farcical drama. Mugabe spoke with the former

0:23:03 > 0:23:09vice president, thought to be behind the coup. And he is expected to be

0:23:09 > 0:23:14continuing negotiations with Mugabe so I expect that should lead to a

0:23:14 > 0:23:20resolution of the crisis one way or another.In terms of the possibility

0:23:20 > 0:23:24of impeachment, what sort of process would that take, and where would

0:23:24 > 0:23:28that lead Robert Mugabe to eventually beat, maybe in prison,

0:23:28 > 0:23:33would he leave Zimbabwe, what do you think?It is not easy for the ruling

0:23:33 > 0:23:38party. What will have to happen is the process be initiated this

0:23:38 > 0:23:43morning. A committee of parliament will be chosen to discuss it. Then,

0:23:43 > 0:23:46if the committee thinks there are grounds for impeachment, it comes

0:23:46 > 0:23:50back to a joint sitting of the Senate and they also have an

0:23:50 > 0:23:54assembly to carry through the impeachment, after which Mugabe

0:23:54 > 0:23:58won't be president. And then what happens after that is the vice

0:23:58 > 0:24:02president takes over for a period of up to 90 days in which time the

0:24:02 > 0:24:06ruling party must advise the Speaker of who their new leader is.Could

0:24:06 > 0:24:11Robert Mugabe ignore the process, like he has ignored the calls to

0:24:11 > 0:24:17step down?It is difficult for him to ignore the impeachment process

0:24:17 > 0:24:21but I am not sure how sincere the ruling party are on the impeachment

0:24:21 > 0:24:25process. I suspect they are using that to force him to negotiate. The

0:24:25 > 0:24:29impeachment is not the easiest route for the ruling party. They will have

0:24:29 > 0:24:33to make serious concessions to the opposition. They need the support of

0:24:33 > 0:24:38the opposition to carry through. Not all of these MPs support what is

0:24:38 > 0:24:42going on. Some of the concessions the opposition demand include

0:24:42 > 0:24:47political reforms to ensure free and fair elections and ZANU-PF will

0:24:47 > 0:24:52never reform itself out of power. They also demanded a coalition

0:24:52 > 0:24:59government. ZANU-PF does not want that. My sense is the impeachment

0:24:59 > 0:25:02process is to force Mugabe to come to an agreement in this process

0:25:02 > 0:25:07which started with Mugabe.How much support do you think there is in

0:25:07 > 0:25:13Zimbabwe for Robert Mugabe?In terms of the ordinary people?Yes.He

0:25:13 > 0:25:17would have got a sense of that on Saturday. Generally, Zimbabwean clue

0:25:17 > 0:25:22that won him to go. His spokesperson said something important with the

0:25:22 > 0:25:26Financial Times -- Zimbabweans want him to go. It is not on the will of

0:25:26 > 0:25:30the people but with those who wield power and those who wield power at

0:25:30 > 0:25:34the moment the military. In his view, he really doesn't care what

0:25:34 > 0:25:40people think, that is why he can't ignore is ignored the demonstration

0:25:40 > 0:25:47on Saturday.There is no sign of Grace Mugabe?No, it is believed it

0:25:47 > 0:25:53is at the family private home.OK. And how key is what happens to her

0:25:53 > 0:26:02to the future of Zimbabwe?I think it is important, Mugabe will seek

0:26:02 > 0:26:05guarantees for her safety, if he decides to set down, which I don't

0:26:05 > 0:26:10expect he will. He has always said he will retire the Mugabe way, which

0:26:10 > 0:26:15means going out in glory, in a dignified way. So he will try to

0:26:15 > 0:26:19ensure that he is allowed to continuing office until the ZANU-PF

0:26:19 > 0:26:24congress in December, which might choose a new leader, allowing him to

0:26:24 > 0:26:29finish his term, which should end next year during the elections. So

0:26:29 > 0:26:34than a contest will be held.It sounds as you say unlikely he will

0:26:34 > 0:26:38spend any time in jail eventually because if he goes there will have

0:26:38 > 0:26:42to be a deal signed that will allow him to leave with his head held

0:26:42 > 0:26:48high?Exactly, he will try avoid any of this.Good to talk to you, thank

0:26:48 > 0:26:50you for talking to us.Thank you for having me.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58We have a packed programme, we haven't even mentioned Paloma Faith

0:26:58 > 0:30:20is coming on the programme.You have now.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24Vanessa Feltz has a Breakfast show on BBC Radio London from 7am until

0:30:24 > 0:30:3010am and I will be back in half an hour.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

0:30:38 > 0:30:40but also on Breakfast this morning:

0:30:40 > 0:30:43We'll be looking at why so many older people feel excluded

0:30:43 > 0:30:45from the high street and why more seating could help

0:30:45 > 0:30:46tackle the problem.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49The government has promised to scrap tampon tax next year.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52But with the budget looming, we'll discuss whether the move goes

0:30:52 > 0:30:56far enough to end so-called period poverty.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04She has a big voice and she's using it

0:31:04 > 0:31:07to tackle big issues.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11Paloma Faith will be here to tell us how she's using music to explore

0:31:11 > 0:31:15modern society and politics.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17Good morning.

0:31:17 > 0:31:24Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

0:31:24 > 0:31:29to reason they look set to offer the EU are bigger divorce and returned

0:31:29 > 0:31:33the trade talks. The BBC understands the move was given a go-ahead at a

0:31:33 > 0:31:38meeting of senior Cabinet ministers. The Prime Minister is acted to put

0:31:38 > 0:31:42the offer to the EU later this week, Britain told it must make more

0:31:42 > 0:31:46progress if talks are to move on to the next phase.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48Robert Mugabe faces being impeached after refusing to step down

0:31:48 > 0:31:49as President of Zimbabwe.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, could ask parliament to begin

0:31:52 > 0:31:53the process today.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57The 93-year old, who remains under armed guard

0:31:57 > 0:32:00in the Presidential palace, is accused of allowing his wife

0:32:00 > 0:32:03to usurp power and many believe he is now incapable of governing.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05Last night, the military suggested a plan was emerging

0:32:05 > 0:32:13for the transfer of power.

0:32:13 > 0:32:19We have made further consultation with the President to agree on the

0:32:19 > 0:32:26roadmap in the prevailing situation in the country. The Zimbabwe defence

0:32:26 > 0:32:31and security services are encouraged by new developments which include

0:32:31 > 0:32:43conduct between the President and the former vice president, Emmerson

0:32:43 > 0:32:48Mnangagwa, who is expected in the country shortly.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51A scheme aimed at detecting lung cancer, earlier is to be extended

0:32:51 > 0:32:52to thousands more patients.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55NHS England says the use of mobile scanners at supermarkets

0:32:55 > 0:32:57and shopping centres in Greater Manchester proved

0:32:57 > 0:33:00so successful, similar schemes will now be rolled out to other

0:33:00 > 0:33:01parts of the country.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05There is an increase in cages found at stage one or two when the disease

0:33:05 > 0:33:06is more easily treated.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09President Trump has re-declared North Korea as a state sponsor

0:33:09 > 0:33:12of terrorism - nine years after it was removed from the list.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15Mr Trump said the move would trigger very large

0:33:15 > 0:33:16additional sanctions, which will be announced

0:33:16 > 0:33:17in the future.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20He blamed the country's nuclear programme, as well as its support

0:33:20 > 0:33:22for what he called "international acts of terrorism".

0:33:22 > 0:33:26South Korea has welcomed the move.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28The Argentine Navy says noises picked up by two ships

0:33:28 > 0:33:31in the South Atlantic on their sonar equipment are not coming

0:33:31 > 0:33:33from a missing Argentine submarine.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37The sub - with 44 crew members on board - disappeared six days ago

0:33:37 > 0:33:38off the coast of Argentina.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40The United States has sent specialist underwater rescue

0:33:40 > 0:33:43equipment to help with the search, which has been hampered

0:33:43 > 0:33:52by heavy winds.

0:33:52 > 0:33:59Paul Hollywood has accused his former Bake Off colleagues including

0:33:59 > 0:34:04Mary Berry of abandoning the show. She and Mel and Sue that the

0:34:04 > 0:34:08programme when it moved to Channel 4. He says the criticism he received

0:34:08 > 0:34:13was not fun and that he felt he became the most hated man in the

0:34:13 > 0:34:23country. There you go. That brings you up-to-date with Bake Off news.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27The latest Bake Off news. If you didn't want to be the most hated man

0:34:27 > 0:34:32in the country, would you criticise Mary Barry? Would you do that? Let's

0:34:32 > 0:34:35not go there.

0:34:35 > 0:34:42Let's talk about Mike Ashley instead. His time as owner of

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Newcastle United could in fact be coming to an end.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48A financial firm led by British businesswoman

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Amanda Staveley has launched a takeover bid

0:34:51 > 0:34:53in the region of £300 million.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Newcastle are yet to comment publicly on the news.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58Brighton twice came from behind to deny Stoke all three points

0:34:58 > 0:35:01at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League last night.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Stoke took the lead through Choupo-Moting -

0:35:03 > 0:35:06his third goal of the season.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10Jose Izquierdo got the final goal of the night to earn Chris Hughton's

0:35:10 > 0:35:19side a point - Brighton are now unbeaten in five league matches.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23I would have liked more, certainly, it probably the overall performance

0:35:23 > 0:35:28wasn't good enough to get all three points and I thought we showed great

0:35:28 > 0:35:34credit and character to come back twice from being behind the Wallaby

0:35:34 > 0:35:36overall, I think the draw was a fair result.

0:35:36 > 0:35:40West Bromwich Albion are looking for a new manager after sacking Tony

0:35:40 > 0:35:41Pulis.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44A 4-nil home defeat to Chelsea left the club one point

0:35:44 > 0:35:47above the relegation zone and ended Pulis's reign after less than three

0:35:47 > 0:35:48years in charge.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51He is the fifth Premier League manager to be dismissed this season.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Gary Megson has been put in temporary charge.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56Australia head coach Michael Cheika is being investigated

0:35:56 > 0:35:58for his comments and conduct during Saturday's match

0:35:58 > 0:35:59against England at Twickenham.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02The disciplinary authorities are investigating

0:36:02 > 0:36:04with an update expected later.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07Cheika reacted strongly to a series of decisions that went

0:36:07 > 0:36:11against his side in the 30 points to 6 defeat, while he also

0:36:11 > 0:36:15was involved in an exchange with a supporter.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Staying with rugby union and Sarah Hunter will win her

0:36:17 > 0:36:19hundredth cap for England women later.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22She'll lead the Red Roses out against Canada for the second match

0:36:22 > 0:36:23in their autumn series.

0:36:23 > 0:36:33The 2014 World Cup winner was named World Player of the Year last year.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35David Haye's heavyweight rematch with Tony Bellew has been postponed

0:36:35 > 0:36:37after a freak training accident.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39The fight was due to take place next month,

0:36:39 > 0:36:42but Haye slipped during a stair conditioning session

0:36:42 > 0:36:45and tore his bicep when he grabbed a bannister to stop himself falling.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48He's had surgery and it's now hoped the fight will go ahead next

0:36:48 > 0:36:56March or May.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59After retiring from football, former Liverpool and Manchester United

0:36:59 > 0:37:01striker Michael Owen turned his attention horse racing.

0:37:01 > 0:37:02And ownership in particular.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06(OOV) But now for the first time he'll compete as a jockey -

0:37:06 > 0:37:12his first race will be at Ascot in aid of the Prince's Countryside

0:37:12 > 0:37:13Fund.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15Owen will be the only novice in the race.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19He first sat on a horse less than a year ago and started riding

0:37:19 > 0:37:25for the first time in April.

0:37:25 > 0:37:30We tried to put the on the nice horses to start with, one is that

0:37:30 > 0:37:34aren't keen spin and spin around so I've had a gentle introduction but

0:37:34 > 0:37:38there is no hiding place, you have to go and do it and the ups and

0:37:38 > 0:37:43downs, the weight loss, getting dumped on the floor, the pain. It's

0:37:43 > 0:37:48all been a massive learning curve and way harder than I thought.

0:37:48 > 0:37:53He must have known how hard it was going to be. Anybody knows that

0:37:53 > 0:38:03jockeys are about as tough as boxes, they had to be incredibly tough.

0:38:03 > 0:38:08Just one year he has done that.Have you ever been on one of those fake

0:38:08 > 0:38:13bourse machines?We always send Michael Rushall to go there when

0:38:13 > 0:38:19that happens.Have you done that? I tried it but it looked ridiculous.I

0:38:19 > 0:38:24am not built to be a jockey. Me neither.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27From cleaners to security guards, more than 3 million people

0:38:27 > 0:38:29in the UK are outsourced to companies rather than being

0:38:29 > 0:38:30employed directly by them.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33That can mean less generous pensions, as well as holiday

0:38:33 > 0:38:34and sick pay.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37But a group of staff are seeking a landmark tribunal

0:38:37 > 0:38:39ruling that they have the right to negotiate better terms

0:38:39 > 0:38:42and conditions at the university where they work.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44It could have wide implications for other outsourced workers.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46Let's discuss this with Hannah Reed who works

0:38:46 > 0:38:52in employment rights at the TUC.

0:38:52 > 0:39:00They give are joining us. What exactly is the problem?There is a

0:39:00 > 0:39:03real concern. When we go into the workplace we see different

0:39:03 > 0:39:06colleagues and we think we are all employed by the same organisation

0:39:06 > 0:39:11that many will have been outsourced and they will often be receiving

0:39:11 > 0:39:17less pay, losing out on sick pay and most importantly, they will not have

0:39:17 > 0:39:20a say over how their working lives are organised. This case really

0:39:20 > 0:39:26looks at ensuring that everybody in the workplace has a fair deal,

0:39:26 > 0:39:31everybody gets the same decent pay and conditions.You talk about being

0:39:31 > 0:39:35outsourced. Most of them all many of them will be employed by an agency

0:39:35 > 0:39:40is why does the agency not have responsibility for them?They may be

0:39:40 > 0:39:45employed by an agency also this company but the real concern is a

0:39:45 > 0:39:48lot of employers choose to outsourced workers in order to cut

0:39:48 > 0:39:52back on wages and cut back on pay and conditions so these individuals

0:39:52 > 0:39:56who might have previously been directly employed by the same

0:39:56 > 0:40:00employer will find they are being paid less per hour and losing out on

0:40:00 > 0:40:06holiday pay and sick pay.Let's get back to the agency thing. Why are

0:40:06 > 0:40:12the agencies not pay in holiday pay? They might well be paying minimum

0:40:12 > 0:40:16standards that many outsourced workers don't receive the going rate

0:40:16 > 0:40:23for the job. Many individuals who are outsourced workers are women,

0:40:23 > 0:40:28BME workers who are already disadvantaged. What's the TUC

0:40:28 > 0:40:31believes is that all working people should receive the going rate for

0:40:31 > 0:40:39the job.I know they are pursuing this. How would it work the UN and

0:40:39 > 0:40:43ideal world? Would you judge on everybody in the same building? How

0:40:43 > 0:40:51would you begin to judge things?The TUC believes the government should

0:40:51 > 0:40:56bring together unions and employers to agree on what the going rate

0:40:56 > 0:41:01should be to make sure there was a level playing field and make sure

0:41:01 > 0:41:06whether you are employed directly by a company or by a service company or

0:41:06 > 0:41:11an agency, you receive that going rate of pay. We believe it's

0:41:11 > 0:41:13important that all individuals whether they are employed to an

0:41:13 > 0:41:18agency or a service company, they should have a voice in the workplace

0:41:18 > 0:41:22and the best voice you can get in the workplace is having a trade

0:41:22 > 0:41:30union representing you.With the university, if they were to go on

0:41:30 > 0:41:36and win their case, would there be widespread changes?Means employers

0:41:36 > 0:41:45would consider thinking twice and keep staff directly employed that it

0:41:45 > 0:41:50could mean the main employers, the employers at the top of the chain,

0:41:50 > 0:41:52would have a responsibility to ensure that whenever they outsource

0:41:52 > 0:41:58their staff, those staff receive a fair deal but also to ensure they

0:41:58 > 0:42:05are getting paid the rate for the job.We talk about holiday pay and

0:42:05 > 0:42:11pensions. Some of these people might have missed out on all of those

0:42:11 > 0:42:15pensions, holiday pay.What happens to that? This case particularly

0:42:15 > 0:42:21involving cleaners, when cleaning contractor outsourced, individuals

0:42:21 > 0:42:27receive lower rates of pay. What we are arguing is there should be a

0:42:27 > 0:42:32level playing field for everyone. Thank you for your time and

0:42:32 > 0:42:41practised.Not many 91 -year-olds are asked to help with dancing,

0:42:41 > 0:42:45particularly when they describe their owners dancing. Next year is

0:42:45 > 0:42:52the 70th anniversary of the SS Empire Windrush, bringing the first

0:42:52 > 0:43:00wave of post-war Caribbean immigrants to the UK Colin Patterson

0:43:00 > 0:43:04has been to rehearsals to find out more.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08The Empire Windrush brings to Britain many Jamaicans. They served

0:43:08 > 0:43:20this country well. History being turned into dance. Next year as the

0:43:20 > 0:43:2470th anniversary of the Empire Windrush bringing the first large

0:43:24 > 0:43:28group of post-war Caribbean immigrants to the UK. Swing, swing.

0:43:28 > 0:43:33Don't go too soon. Sharon Watson is the artistic dance director of dance

0:43:33 > 0:43:37company in Leeds, inspired by her own mother's journey from Jamaica in

0:43:37 > 0:43:441960s and decided to create a piece about Empire Windrush.It resonates

0:43:44 > 0:43:48without family in leaving a home and place. Relocating somewhere new,

0:43:48 > 0:43:54somewhere different.I picked her brain considerably. Her mum had come

0:43:54 > 0:43:58along to see the work in progress and it was bringing back memories of

0:43:58 > 0:44:04own arrival in the UK.You could see icicles hanging down from the

0:44:04 > 0:44:11windows which you don't see now. I had a big coat on a big boat and we

0:44:11 > 0:44:18had never seen them before. It was a bit unusual for me.Members of Leeds

0:44:18 > 0:44:20Caribbean community had also been invited Sydney could give feedback

0:44:20 > 0:44:29based on their own voyages.That Windrush, it reminds me so much,

0:44:29 > 0:44:34like sardines packed in that boat. And they are thrilled the story will

0:44:34 > 0:44:39be on stage next February.When the younger people come and see what's

0:44:39 > 0:44:44going on, they understand what the old ladies and old gentleman had to

0:44:44 > 0:44:52go through.So this is Leeds, 1940... 1948. Phoenix has also made

0:44:52 > 0:44:58an old discovery they hope they can show. Alfred Gardiner is 91, lives

0:44:58 > 0:45:03in Leeds and came over on Windrush. His agreed to share his memories to

0:45:03 > 0:45:07help shape the production. He was a mechanic in the RAF in Britain

0:45:07 > 0:45:11during the Second World War and a lack of work at home made him want

0:45:11 > 0:45:17to come back.In Jamaica at the time, if you haven't got a job, you

0:45:17 > 0:45:25are a nobody.What was it like on Windrush?We had six ex- army boys

0:45:25 > 0:45:30who want to commandeer our money. Between us, we got them on the boat.

0:45:30 > 0:45:37We were busy hiding the money. Three men in a toilet hiding.That is what

0:45:37 > 0:45:44happened. What can I say, it's part of history now. It is history. And

0:45:44 > 0:45:5070 years on, Alford, who worked in factories and had nine children,

0:45:50 > 0:45:55thinks getting on Windrush was a great decision.I have family,

0:45:55 > 0:46:04music. I support. After them three things, good luck for everything

0:46:04 > 0:46:08else.You strike me as a man who has enjoyed life.And I am still

0:46:08 > 0:46:15enjoying it. And I will always be enjoying it.

0:46:15 > 0:46:1710am and I will be back in half an hour.

0:46:17 > 0:46:21Oh, what a charming man.Yeah.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23Windrush: Movement of The People will premiere

0:46:23 > 0:46:25at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in February, before

0:46:25 > 0:46:27touring the country.

0:46:27 > 0:46:33Shall we find out about the weather? Carol is looking festive. It might

0:46:33 > 0:46:33be cold.

0:46:33 > 0:46:37Carol is looking festive. It might be cold.It might indeed. Today, it

0:46:37 > 0:46:44is mild. Look at this display of Christmas lights, the Spirit of

0:46:44 > 0:46:48Christmas on Regents Street, which comprise of 300,000 LED lights, they

0:46:48 > 0:46:53are or nor mind. It is mild to start the day across many areas. If we go

0:46:53 > 0:46:58from Northern Ireland over to England - Scotland borders, even

0:46:58 > 0:47:04south of that, roughly between ten and 14 degrees at the moment. It is

0:47:04 > 0:47:09cold in Scotland. Generally, for most of us, the forecast is a mild

0:47:09 > 0:47:14one, it is fairly cloudy and there is also some rain in the forecast.

0:47:14 > 0:47:18So, the rain at the moment is across Scotland and northern England. A lot

0:47:18 > 0:47:22of dry weather currently. However, we have another band of rain which

0:47:22 > 0:47:27is going to swing in from the west through the course of the day. So,

0:47:27 > 0:47:31the further east that you are, it will be drier. Even as we head into

0:47:31 > 0:47:35the afternoon, we have a move north across Scotland, so the Central

0:47:35 > 0:47:39Lowlands, into the Highlands and the Grampians. South of that, cloudy and

0:47:39 > 0:47:44dry and very mild with temperatures in double figures. South across

0:47:44 > 0:47:48northern England, fairly cloudy, rain across the Pennines. North-east

0:47:48 > 0:47:52of England have something bright. And we have rain in parts of the

0:47:52 > 0:47:57north Midlands. In East Anglia, Essex, Kent, down to the Isle of

0:47:57 > 0:48:01Wight, a lot of cloud, limited brightness and the cloud for example

0:48:01 > 0:48:05in the south-west of England is thick enough for the odd spot of

0:48:05 > 0:48:10rain but nothing too heavy. Moving into Wales, more rain, the north

0:48:10 > 0:48:14hanging on to some cloud, with breaks in the sheltered hills, and

0:48:14 > 0:48:17for Northern Ireland, rain to the south of Northern Ireland, not

0:48:17 > 0:48:20immune to some showers, a little brightness in the north of Northern

0:48:20 > 0:48:25Ireland. Through the course of the evening and overnight there are two

0:48:25 > 0:48:28distinctive band of rain you can see on the charts. The first across the

0:48:28 > 0:48:32north of Scotland is likely to be heavy and persistent. And across the

0:48:32 > 0:48:35Northern Isles, where it will be cold, we are looking at wintry

0:48:35 > 0:48:40showers. For the rest of us, it is going to be another mild night,

0:48:40 > 0:48:45unseasonably so, with temperatures in double figures. Then as we head

0:48:45 > 0:48:48into tomorrow, increasingly tomorrow, the wind is going to

0:48:48 > 0:48:53strengthen, especially in the west, with Gusts to gale force. Windy in

0:48:53 > 0:48:57southern counties as well, and more rain coming in across the north and

0:48:57 > 0:49:02the west, some of which will be heavy and persistent, particularly

0:49:02 > 0:49:05across Snowdonia, the Cumbrian Fels, and drifting eastward. Tomorrow,

0:49:05 > 0:49:10London might hit 15 Celsius. Then as we head into Thursday, the rain will

0:49:10 > 0:49:14clear from the south-east, then later in the day we've got more rain

0:49:14 > 0:49:18coming in across the south-west, and we've also got rain and snow across

0:49:18 > 0:49:22the northern half of Scotland, primarily the Grampians and the

0:49:22 > 0:49:25Highlands, and some of that snow will get down to road level.

0:49:25 > 0:49:29Something to bear in mind if you are travelling. Then the cooler air will

0:49:29 > 0:49:35filter in that bit further south as well. Did you know that Regents

0:49:35 > 0:49:39Street was the first St to actually have festive Christmas lights? That

0:49:39 > 0:49:44was way back in 1954. Dan, did you switch them on?Oh, what?

0:49:44 > 0:49:54(LAUGHTER)..Carol.Hang on a minute! That was unnecessary. I have

0:49:54 > 0:49:56been really nice this week.

0:49:56 > 0:49:57minute! That was unnecessary. I have been really nice this week.That was

0:49:57 > 0:50:02unexpected, wasn't it?She has been working on that for a while, you

0:50:02 > 0:50:06ratbag.Thank you very much indeed. Excellent, they would have looked

0:50:06 > 0:50:13different in 1954.Thank you. I was going to chat to Carol, but I can't

0:50:13 > 0:50:19be bothered any more. We are talking about Christmas decorations.Yes.

0:50:19 > 0:50:23And we mentioned it last week, when did they go up in your house?You

0:50:23 > 0:50:28have to wait till December.At least December?Yes.Lots of people have

0:50:28 > 0:50:33gone very early.I know. That was the Christmas decoration falling

0:50:33 > 0:50:38down in the background.They don't go up in the studio and to two weeks

0:50:38 > 0:50:41before Christmas. We will get some comments on this in

0:50:41 > 0:50:45a moment. Lots of people have got in contact to say when it is right,

0:50:45 > 0:50:50wrong and playing insane.Yes, more on that later.First of all, Steph

0:50:50 > 0:50:53is talking about unpaid work experience.Lots of discussion about

0:50:53 > 0:50:59this. Did you do work experience? Yes, the BBC World Service Latin

0:50:59 > 0:51:06American section.It led you to a great job. Dan?I put floppy disks

0:51:06 > 0:51:12in the olden days into piles of ten. That was my work experience.Who did

0:51:12 > 0:51:17you work for?Packaging company near Gatwick airport.And it has served

0:51:17 > 0:51:24you well, clearly.Yes, thank you. Good morning. Work experience is a

0:51:24 > 0:51:28great way of bridging the gap between what you do at school and

0:51:28 > 0:51:32what he might do for a living and for business it is good to connect

0:51:32 > 0:51:35with talent. There has been some criticism about it with some

0:51:35 > 0:51:38employers exploiting these young people who come and work for them.

0:51:38 > 0:51:41What can be done to make sure this doesn't happen?

0:51:41 > 0:51:43I'm joined by businesswoman Sherry Coutu, who wants

0:51:43 > 0:51:47to change that.

0:51:47 > 0:51:52Good morning. What is it you want to do?I want to make it really easy

0:51:52 > 0:51:56for all young children between 16 and 18 to find great work experience

0:51:56 > 0:51:59with small companies and large companies and medium-sized

0:51:59 > 0:52:04companies. And there is research that shows 140 hours of work

0:52:04 > 0:52:09experience between 16 and 18 makes it much easier to think about jobs

0:52:09 > 0:52:14they will hold or create later on in life. And with the world going very

0:52:14 > 0:52:18quickly, bringing it all together in a single place, making it easier for

0:52:18 > 0:52:23the young person, on a mobile phone, is a dream.This is a charity

0:52:23 > 0:52:28launch, so what are the issues with work experience? It is a great way

0:52:28 > 0:52:31to solve the skills gap to have young people getting skills early

0:52:31 > 0:52:36on, but many young people struggle to get work experience.Often they

0:52:36 > 0:52:40will go to companies at a no. But there are 5 million companies in the

0:52:40 > 0:52:45UK. -- that they know. It is hard if you don't know them or your teacher

0:52:45 > 0:52:49doesn't know them and you don't know where to look. So you go to the

0:52:49 > 0:52:53large ones. 100% of new jobs come from small and medium-size companies

0:52:53 > 0:52:57in the UK. If you put them into a single place and they like using

0:52:57 > 0:53:01phones, so we put it on the phone, and you just make it easy so with a

0:53:01 > 0:53:07couple of taps you can say, I am interested in that, so you get

0:53:07 > 0:53:10recommendation engines to say, well, have you thought of this one, or

0:53:10 > 0:53:14this one? So the same thing that an engaged parent or teacher can do,

0:53:14 > 0:53:19but we go further afield than what you would with your own contacts.

0:53:19 > 0:53:23Essentially it is to help young people find work experience. What

0:53:23 > 0:53:27about the employers' side of it, how you can make sure they will provide

0:53:27 > 0:53:33good work experience for people? Yes, good enough work experience -

0:53:33 > 0:53:36the children rate the work experience that they have and if you

0:53:36 > 0:53:39provide not great work experience then you know what to do better. We

0:53:39 > 0:53:43provide The Briefing and everything. So these work experience types for

0:53:43 > 0:53:49children this age, you know, try a project, there are lots of how to

0:53:49 > 0:53:53guides so that the business leaders know confident in what they are

0:53:53 > 0:53:58doing. So you think, will this be meaningful, will it make a

0:53:58 > 0:54:02difference? Everyone wants to make a difference. If you run a small

0:54:02 > 0:54:06company, you love the company, so it provides great experience. It just

0:54:06 > 0:54:10gives them role models that allows them to know what they need to do.

0:54:10 > 0:54:14What is the definition of meaningful work experience, what would you say?

0:54:14 > 0:54:19I think one where the young person knows they made contribution and for

0:54:19 > 0:54:24the business I don't want someone just filing discs like you said, I

0:54:24 > 0:54:28would rather a project that you know will help the company. So to be

0:54:28 > 0:54:33about work experience, you know, what can we do that would be great

0:54:33 > 0:54:39for the young person? Have them on the Monday, present a project on

0:54:39 > 0:54:43Friday, and that is a deal with a beginning, middle and end.That can

0:54:43 > 0:54:47be a lot of work and it can be tough to get people responsibility if they

0:54:47 > 0:54:51are only teenagers.I don't think it is tough. There is a lot of things

0:54:51 > 0:54:56we can all do. And we know that the single biggest issue we have a small

0:54:56 > 0:54:59business is the talent coming in the door will stop they don't really

0:54:59 > 0:55:04know how to work. If I have someone coming in from 18 who has had a

0:55:04 > 0:55:08summer job and an Easter job and another one and I know they are far

0:55:08 > 0:55:11more thoughtful and they feel comfortable about what they will do.

0:55:11 > 0:55:16I think we all need to lean in and make a difference here. There is one

0:55:16 > 0:55:23point a million children who are 16, 17 or 18, -- 1.8 million people. The

0:55:23 > 0:55:28world is changing really fast. So without helping... I think about

0:55:28 > 0:55:32Dunkirk, the move. When you see all of the soldiers on the beach and you

0:55:32 > 0:55:36think, there is no way we can help them all. But actually what they did

0:55:36 > 0:55:40is they got all of the people on the small boats to come across the

0:55:40 > 0:55:44Channel and pick them up. To me, that is the analogy. Look at the

0:55:44 > 0:55:47children on the beach. Let's help them make the bridge into the world

0:55:47 > 0:55:50of work a lot more easily. Fascinating. I wish we had more

0:55:50 > 0:55:55time. That is it for now. That was really interesting. Thank you. And

0:55:55 > 0:55:55good advice.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57You're watching And good advice.

0:55:57 > 0:56:03Breakfast.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05-- You're watching Breakfast.

0:56:05 > 0:56:06Still to come this morning:

0:56:06 > 0:56:09They've entertained fans for almost a century and the Pope

0:56:09 > 0:56:10and Whoopi Goldberg are honorary members.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13We'll be talking extreme stunts and slam dunks

0:56:13 > 0:59:35with the Harlem Globetrotters a little later.

0:59:35 > 0:59:36until 10am and I will be back in half an hour.

1:00:09 > 1:00:12Hello - this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:00:12 > 1:00:14Theresa May gets the backing of her cabinet to offer

1:00:14 > 1:00:25a bigger Brexit payout.

1:00:25 > 1:00:28Senior ministers have agreed that Britain should offer

1:00:28 > 1:00:30more money to the EU,

1:00:28 > 1:00:30

1:00:30 > 1:00:32if it clears the path for trade talks to begin.

1:00:32 > 1:00:36But the Prime Minister is facing anger from some of her own MPs

1:00:36 > 1:00:44who are accusing the EU of holding the UK to ransom.

1:00:44 > 1:00:49Good morning - it's Tuesday the 21st of November.

1:00:49 > 1:00:52Zimbabwe's parliament prepares to take legal action to force

1:00:52 > 1:00:54Robert Mugabe from power.

1:00:54 > 1:00:56Early screening for lung cancer.

1:00:56 > 1:00:59Doctors say a trial using mobile scanners in supermarket car parks

1:00:59 > 1:01:04has proved a huge success.

1:01:04 > 1:01:07I'll be speaking to the boss of budget airline EasyJet -

1:01:07 > 1:01:09about how they're swooping in on struggling rivals,

1:01:09 > 1:01:11after the airline industry's tough summer.

1:01:11 > 1:01:14In sport, could Mike Ashley's days at Newcastle be numbered

1:01:14 > 1:01:19following a formal bid for the football club?

1:01:19 > 1:01:24And it's only November, but could getting in the festive

1:01:24 > 1:01:26mood early help improve your winter wellbeing?

1:01:26 > 1:01:28It's like celebrating joy.

1:01:28 > 1:01:31Like, I was so excited to come to the Christmas

1:01:31 > 1:01:32markets this evening.

1:01:32 > 1:01:36Christmas trees up at ridiculous times.

1:01:36 > 1:01:41Everyone is waiting to put pictures of Christmas trees on Facebook.

1:01:41 > 1:01:45And Carol has the weather.

1:01:45 > 1:01:52You can see the lights of Regent Street behind me.

1:01:52 > 1:01:57It is mild around across many parts of the UK.

1:01:57 > 1:01:58Except Scotland.

1:01:58 > 1:02:02Some rain in the north and the West so that further east you are,

1:02:02 > 1:02:05the dry conditions are here but more details in 15 minutes.

1:02:05 > 1:02:06Good morning.

1:02:06 > 1:02:07First, our main story.

1:02:07 > 1:02:11Theresa May looks set to offer the EU a bigger divorce bill payment

1:02:11 > 1:02:19in return for starting trade talks next month.

1:02:19 > 1:02:22The BBC understands the move was approved at a meeting of senior

1:02:22 > 1:02:23cabinet ministers yesterday.

1:02:23 > 1:02:26The UK had been told it must make more progress

1:02:26 > 1:02:33on its financial offer, if talks are to move

1:02:33 > 1:02:34into the next phase.

1:02:34 > 1:02:36But political uncertainty in Germany has complicated

1:02:36 > 1:02:39the picture, with Chancellor Angela Merkel saying she would prefer

1:02:39 > 1:02:45new elections rather than lead a minority government.

1:02:45 > 1:02:47It follows a breakdown in coalition talks, which plunged the country

1:02:47 > 1:02:50into political crisis.

1:02:50 > 1:02:56We can get the latest on that from our correspondent,

1:02:56 > 1:03:03Alex Forsyth in Westminster.

1:03:03 > 1:03:07Money has been a huge problem. Not just for the EU which wanted more

1:03:07 > 1:03:11but that the UK government. There were different views about what the

1:03:11 > 1:03:17UK needed to pay. To reason they got some senior figures to thrash out

1:03:17 > 1:03:21the government's negotiating position. We understand there is

1:03:21 > 1:03:26broad agreement they should up the financial offer that only if the EU

1:03:26 > 1:03:30agrees to start talking about trade in transition when they next meet in

1:03:30 > 1:03:35December. There is no figure that has been mentioned in part of the

1:03:35 > 1:03:41reason that is deliberate. To reason they knows that if they pay a

1:03:41 > 1:03:45certain amount, that might anger some MPs in their own backbenchers,

1:03:45 > 1:03:49particularly those who are adamant we shouldn't be paying the European

1:03:49 > 1:03:56Union too much. Getting the agreement from Cabinet might up the

1:03:56 > 1:04:00offer that there is this extra layer of political instability coming from

1:04:00 > 1:04:06Germany. That matters because Germany is influential in the EU. It

1:04:06 > 1:04:14is a chance the UK to push the negotiations forward. Others feel

1:04:14 > 1:04:17about the strength and stability of Angela Merkel, it could affect

1:04:17 > 1:04:23things.Damien McGuinness in Berlin. The front page of the Times mentions

1:04:23 > 1:04:30what Alex said. They say to reason they needs to exploit Angela

1:04:30 > 1:04:38Merkel's political weakness. What is the situation in Germany?Right now,

1:04:38 > 1:04:44it is political uncertainty. We are in a state of gridlock. Talks broke

1:04:44 > 1:04:49down to the new coalition government. Today, the German

1:04:49 > 1:04:52President is meeting with the leaders of various parties to

1:04:52 > 1:04:55persuade them to get back to the table. A couple of different

1:04:55 > 1:05:02options. Those potential partners, it could be fresh elections or a

1:05:02 > 1:05:09minority government. Neither option is ideal. She does come out of both

1:05:09 > 1:05:14options potentially weakened. The Brexit connection is interesting.

1:05:14 > 1:05:19There is no real direct link in a sense. Brexit wasn't mentioned

1:05:19 > 1:05:22during four weeks of coalition negotiations between those for

1:05:22 > 1:05:30parties. All politicians in Germany are pretty united on saying that

1:05:30 > 1:05:34actually it's Brussels that needs to deal with the UK. In a sense,

1:05:34 > 1:05:39whatever happens on German politics -- in German politics doesn't have a

1:05:39 > 1:05:46direct effect. As Alex mentioned, what happens in the EU's largest

1:05:46 > 1:05:50economy does have an impact on the broader EU and if anything it could

1:05:50 > 1:05:55make Britain's position worse because it there is a weakened and

1:05:55 > 1:05:59divided EU, it might make it more difficult for Brussels to give

1:05:59 > 1:06:06Britain a good deal.Damien, thank you. We will discuss this further

1:06:06 > 1:06:14with conservative MP Nigel Evans and Green Party MP Caroline Lucas.

1:06:14 > 1:06:16Robert Mugabe is faces being impeached after refusing

1:06:16 > 1:06:18to step down as President of Zimbabwe.

1:06:18 > 1:06:20The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, could ask parlimament to begin

1:06:20 > 1:06:21the process today.

1:06:21 > 1:06:26The 93-year old, who remains under armed guard

1:06:26 > 1:06:28in the Presidential palace, is accused of allowing his wife

1:06:28 > 1:06:32to usurp power and many believe he is now incapable of governing.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34Last night, the military suggested a plan was emerging

1:06:34 > 1:06:35for the transfer of power.

1:06:35 > 1:06:39We have made further consultation with the President to agree

1:06:39 > 1:06:47on a roadmap on the prevailing situation in the country.

1:06:47 > 1:06:49The Zimbabwe defence and security services are encouraged

1:06:49 > 1:06:53by new developments which include

1:06:53 > 1:07:02conduct between the President and the former vice-president,

1:07:02 > 1:07:04comrade Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is expected in the country

1:07:04 > 1:07:07shortly.

1:07:07 > 1:07:10President Trump has announced that the US is re-designating

1:07:10 > 1:07:12North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism, nine years

1:07:12 > 1:07:14after it was removed from the list.

1:07:14 > 1:07:16He said the move would trigger very large

1:07:16 > 1:07:26additional sanctions to be announced later.

1:07:26 > 1:07:30Washington's latest and most anticipate -- anticipated salvo in

1:07:30 > 1:07:34its war of words with North Korea, Donald Trump expected to use

1:07:34 > 1:07:39pressure on the regime.This will impose further sanctions and

1:07:39 > 1:07:43penalties on North Korea and related persons and supports a maximum

1:07:43 > 1:07:49pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime.The President says

1:07:49 > 1:07:59this should have been done long time ago. The is compelling. President

1:07:59 > 1:08:05Trump is warning of what he calls large sanctions. North Korea is

1:08:05 > 1:08:08under crippling international pressure and there is not much more

1:08:08 > 1:08:13the US can do. We still hope for diplomacy. The President's Secretary

1:08:13 > 1:08:17of State is holding the door open, talks are still the preferred way to

1:08:17 > 1:08:21end the stand-off. More than two months since North Korea last

1:08:21 > 1:08:25carried out a missile test. Authorities in South Korea say

1:08:25 > 1:08:29further tests could come at any time but they are not seeing any

1:08:29 > 1:08:34tell-tale signs of preparation. This morning, the government welcomed

1:08:34 > 1:08:39Washington's latest move but it would not halt efforts to get North

1:08:39 > 1:08:44Korea back to the moment -- negotiating table. But the regime in

1:08:44 > 1:08:48Pyongyang is keeping up its rhetoric. It called Donald Trump and

1:08:48 > 1:08:53old lunatic whose recent visit to South Korea was all nonsense. Amid

1:08:53 > 1:08:57this war of insults and pressure, it's not clear how or if

1:08:57 > 1:09:05negotiations can resume.

1:09:05 > 1:09:07Staff employed by an outsourcing company Cordant are asking

1:09:07 > 1:09:11a tribunal to rule that they have the right to negotiate better terms

1:09:11 > 1:09:13and conditions with the University of London where they work.

1:09:13 > 1:09:16If the tribunal agrees that the university should be

1:09:16 > 1:09:18recognised as the workers' joint employer it could have implications

1:09:18 > 1:09:21for more than 3 million people in the UK who work

1:09:21 > 1:09:22for facilities companies.

1:09:22 > 1:09:25The university says it doesn't employ any of the staff.

1:09:25 > 1:09:27Unions say the workers have a strong case.

1:09:27 > 1:09:33Young Persons Railcard which -- rail cards are to be extended to 30

1:09:33 > 1:09:36-year-olds. The Chancellor is set to announce a change in Wednesday's

1:09:36 > 1:09:47Budget.

1:09:47 > 1:09:50Things didn't go according to plan for one unfortunate cameraman

1:09:50 > 1:09:53waiting to capture the moment the old Georgia Dome sports stadium

1:09:53 > 1:09:54in Atlanta, Georgia was demolished.

1:09:54 > 1:10:00He was all set up for the money shot, when this happened.

1:10:09 > 1:10:15You can't see it. At bus pulled up right in front of the camera.

1:10:15 > 1:10:15completely

1:10:15 > 1:10:17obscuring his view.

1:10:17 > 1:10:22Needless to say he wasn't too happy - we've bleeped out what he says.

1:10:22 > 1:10:26You got to question his positioning?

1:10:26 > 1:10:29It's the end of an era for the stadium, which during its 25

1:10:29 > 1:10:34year history, hosted two Superbowls and an Olympics.

1:10:34 > 1:10:38We had a stunning performance in that Olympics. One solitary gold

1:10:38 > 1:10:47medal. Steve Redgrave.Imagine that poor cameraman as well.I think it

1:10:47 > 1:10:54was a man, because you could hear it. He had one chance to get the

1:10:54 > 1:10:59shot.

1:10:59 > 1:11:02A scheme aimed at detecting lung cancer earlier is to be extended

1:11:02 > 1:11:03to thousands more patients.

1:11:03 > 1:11:06NHS England says the use of mobile scanners at supermarkets

1:11:06 > 1:11:08and shopping centres in Greater Manchester proved

1:11:08 > 1:11:11so successful, similar schemes will now be rolled out to other

1:11:11 > 1:11:12parts of the country.

1:11:12 > 1:11:13Caroline Rigby has more.

1:11:13 > 1:11:15It has saved my life, definitely saved my life,

1:11:15 > 1:11:19because I could have gone maybe two or three years and it

1:11:19 > 1:11:23could have spread everywhere.

1:11:23 > 1:11:26Michael Brady was diagnosed with lung cancer thanks to a project

1:11:26 > 1:11:29which offered extra screening to smokers and former smokers

1:11:29 > 1:11:39in some of the poorest Manchester areas.

1:11:39 > 1:11:42In an effort to boost early detection, patients thought to be

1:11:42 > 1:11:44most at risk were given CT scans in mobile trucks

1:11:44 > 1:11:46and supermarkets at shopping centres.

1:11:46 > 1:11:48Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer in the UK,

1:11:48 > 1:11:50claiming 35,000 lives year.

1:11:50 > 1:11:51NHS England says during the Manchester pilot,

1:11:51 > 1:11:55one case was detected every 33 people screened and four out of five

1:11:55 > 1:11:59cases were diagnosed early when the disease is easier to treat.

1:11:59 > 1:12:08Similar schemes are being rolled out in London and the north of England.

1:12:08 > 1:12:11Many have welcomed it but Cancer Research UK warns

1:12:11 > 1:12:14there will need to be extra staff needed if more

1:12:14 > 1:12:18lives are to be saved.

1:12:18 > 1:12:24Brian Hope is a GP and is with us now. The papers have said they will

1:12:24 > 1:12:28be tests in supermarket car parks. What they have done in Manchester is

1:12:28 > 1:12:32they have piloted and targeted people or an area that actually has

1:12:32 > 1:12:37a very high level of lung cancer. I think that is important in

1:12:37 > 1:12:40screening. Screening is not diagnosis. It is trying to pick out

1:12:40 > 1:12:47a population that will be more at risk than the general population. I

1:12:47 > 1:12:52think that's where this has been really successful in that one, it's

1:12:52 > 1:12:58been accessible for people. We are the people who don't get screened

1:12:58 > 1:13:02are often the people who should get screened. In cervical cancer

1:13:02 > 1:13:12screening, we often don't get it. We often don't get the 20, 30%.When we

1:13:12 > 1:13:16look specifically at lung cancer survival rates which is poor in the

1:13:16 > 1:13:23UK, is that because the right people are not being screened?It's very

1:13:23 > 1:13:27positive because we know that if we catch it early, your chances of

1:13:27 > 1:13:35survival are much greater. The higher up that number you get, the

1:13:35 > 1:13:39less survival rate is you get up. Catching it early is absolutely

1:13:39 > 1:13:46critical.There will be a wider expansion of these mobile schemes.

1:13:46 > 1:13:51What's good as they have pirate -- piloted it. They have proved its

1:13:51 > 1:13:58worth. We know that it's actually going to be effective and that's a

1:13:58 > 1:14:10really good thing. Also talking about an introduction, or extension.

1:14:10 > 1:14:18The one we have at the minute, when you have a screening programme. You

1:14:18 > 1:14:23don't have a lot of false positives and a lot of false negatives. This

1:14:23 > 1:14:29new test is a Pacific. If it positive, it means you definitely

1:14:29 > 1:14:33need to do something about it so looking through the whole system of

1:14:33 > 1:14:37the NHS, we are not clogging the system up with people who have a

1:14:37 > 1:14:48false positive. Having tests done that might not need to be done.

1:14:48 > 1:14:53Getting people early, that is one of the key things in treatment.We have

1:14:53 > 1:14:57screening programmes already. It means that people are reluctant

1:14:57 > 1:15:03because people are frightened by the word, to come forward and all of us

1:15:03 > 1:15:09say, if I don't do anything, it's the opposite of that. The more we do

1:15:09 > 1:15:15get tested appropriately, that gives a better chance of survival.

1:15:15 > 1:15:17So if people go to a supermarket car

1:15:17 > 1:15:19So if people go to a supermarket car park or a shopping centre and they

1:15:19 > 1:15:24see these screening areas, is it not on the door or go in?I don't think

1:15:24 > 1:15:30that is happening. You have to have an appointment, to be referred or

1:15:30 > 1:15:35whatever, because that's what happens with screening programmes.

1:15:35 > 1:15:40People say, why am I not in it? You have to have a system or else it

1:15:40 > 1:15:44gets overloaded and the knock-on effect to the NHS could be negative.

1:15:44 > 1:15:49So there has to be as system of calling people in and having it done

1:15:49 > 1:15:54in an appropriate manner.Very interesting, thank you. Let us know

1:15:54 > 1:15:56what you think about that.

1:15:56 > 1:16:00We have been talking about the Regents Street Christmas lights,

1:16:00 > 1:16:07which they have put up since the 1950s. Here is how it was reported

1:16:07 > 1:16:12back in 1957.The Mayor of Westminster will switch on one of

1:16:12 > 1:16:22London's Christmas displays, the regions -- Regents Street.I love

1:16:22 > 1:16:30that. Absolutely brilliant. They are still putting up the lights on

1:16:30 > 1:16:33Regents Street. Carroll, the first to have Christmas lights?That's

1:16:33 > 1:16:42right. Good morning. Lots of others followed of course and you can see

1:16:42 > 1:16:46them behind me and the theme is the spirit of Christmas. They were

1:16:46 > 1:16:53switched on by Paloma Faith, who will be here at 9:05am, and she will

1:16:53 > 1:17:02be with Michael Ball, and of course Emma Bunton as well. Now, the

1:17:02 > 1:17:06weather is lovely and mild across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

1:17:06 > 1:17:10At the moment, temperatures are between 11 and 14 degrees. In

1:17:10 > 1:17:15Scotland, they are lower with a range roughly between five and ten.

1:17:15 > 1:17:22In parts of the Grampians, they are as low as freezing. For most of the

1:17:22 > 1:17:23day, the forecast is cloudy

1:17:23 > 1:17:24as low as freezing. For most of the day, the forecast is cloudy and mild

1:17:24 > 1:17:28and some will see some rain at times. Some of us already have some

1:17:28 > 1:17:32rain. This morning at 9am we have rain in northern England and

1:17:32 > 1:17:36Scotland. There is a lot of dry weather around. It is breezy today

1:17:36 > 1:17:40with a Federal cloud. The cloud is thick enough for the odd spot of

1:17:40 > 1:17:45rain is all. -- with a fair bit of cloud. We have another band through

1:17:45 > 1:17:49the day from the west. If we start the forecast this afternoon in

1:17:49 > 1:17:53Scotland at three o'clock you can see the rain north of the central

1:17:53 > 1:17:57belt moving steadily northwards. South of that in the southern

1:17:57 > 1:18:00uplands and northern England, there is a lot of cloud and across the

1:18:00 > 1:18:04Pennines we also have rain moving from the west to the east. So at

1:18:04 > 1:18:09this stage north-east England has brighter skies. For the Midlands,

1:18:09 > 1:18:13into East Anglia and southern counties, a lot of cloud. The north

1:18:13 > 1:18:17Midlands seeing some spots of rain. And as we drift to the south-west,

1:18:17 > 1:18:21we are looking at the cloud thick enough for the odd spot of rain, but

1:18:21 > 1:18:25nothing too heavy. Then we run into the rain across Wales, a lot of

1:18:25 > 1:18:30cloud, raining all the time, when not it will be fairly grey, and for

1:18:30 > 1:18:36Northern Ireland, to the south this afternoon, with the spot out of the

1:18:36 > 1:18:41cloud. The bright skies north of England. It will be unseasonably

1:18:41 > 1:18:45mild temperatures into the midteens. . Then into the evening and

1:18:45 > 1:18:48overnight you can see the distinctive banns of rain on the

1:18:48 > 1:18:51charts with their heaviest and most persistent across the north of

1:18:51 > 1:18:56Scotland. Here across the Northern Isles it will be wintry. It is going

1:18:56 > 1:19:01to feel cold here and the wind will be picking up. For the rest of the

1:19:01 > 1:19:05UK it is going to be relatively mild once again in the night with

1:19:05 > 1:19:08temperatures in double figures. On Wednesday, more rain across the

1:19:08 > 1:19:13north and west, some of that will be heavy and persistent, particularly

1:19:13 > 1:19:17so across, for example, Snowdonia, the Cumbrian Fels, we will see large

1:19:17 > 1:19:21totals and the other feature is it will be very windy, particularly so

1:19:21 > 1:19:25in the west with exposure and gusting winds across the south and

1:19:25 > 1:19:29the English Channel. Tomorrow, London could hit 15 Celsius. Then as

1:19:29 > 1:19:33we head into Thursday, the rain clears away from the south-east,

1:19:33 > 1:19:41there is a dry spell and then we have more rain coming in from the

1:19:41 > 1:19:45south-west, and at the same time from the word go there will be some

1:19:45 > 1:19:48rain across Scotland falling as no even down to road level across the

1:19:48 > 1:19:52Highlands and also the Grampians, something to bear in mind if you are

1:19:52 > 1:19:55travelling. And you will notice the cooler conditions filtering that bit

1:19:55 > 1:19:55further

1:19:55 > 1:19:57cooler conditions filtering that bit further south, so the very south of

1:19:57 > 1:20:00England hangs on by the skin of its teeth to double-figure temperatures.

1:20:00 > 1:20:02OK, thank you very much.

1:20:02 > 1:20:06Going to have a look at some of the front pages of the papers.I am

1:20:06 > 1:20:10ready to go.We were talking about the cancer test and moment ago and I

1:20:10 > 1:20:14was saying a moment earlier about how a picture can be used to tell a

1:20:14 > 1:20:17picture and this is about Angela Merkel fighting for her future after

1:20:17 > 1:20:21the collapse of talks to form a coalition government. Angela Merkel

1:20:21 > 1:20:25faces a battle for survival. It is the use of the picture which is

1:20:25 > 1:20:29clever. My favourite story here is sailors from the Royal Navy next

1:20:29 > 1:20:33week will perform their first changing of the guard, 90 of which

1:20:33 > 1:20:37trained in the routines and real movement needed for the Royal guard

1:20:37 > 1:20:41duties at Buckingham Palace.And Paul Hollywood was giving an

1:20:41 > 1:20:47interview with the radio Times which accuses three old Bake-Off

1:20:47 > 1:20:51colleagues leaving him in the lurch when he moved to Channel 4. And he

1:20:51 > 1:20:54is in there for a different reason, the breakup for Hollywood and his

1:20:54 > 1:20:58wife of 20 years and the main story is what we were talking with Doctor

1:20:58 > 1:21:05Brian Hope about, cancer scan at the supermarket, slightly polished, this

1:21:05 > 1:21:08story, still really interesting development in the treatment of

1:21:08 > 1:21:12cancer and scanning of cancer in this country.Paul Hollywood is

1:21:12 > 1:21:18fodder in this Sun and the Mirror as well. What else?I've got a cat

1:21:18 > 1:21:26story.All-white.Interesting cat dog story -- all right. They

1:21:26 > 1:21:33kitten's site are saved by a great Dane. Look at Zephyr, with painful

1:21:33 > 1:21:38eyes. This expert vet suggested the way to deal with this was to take

1:21:38 > 1:21:42blood from a healthy big dog and try to inject it into the eyes. It

1:21:42 > 1:21:48sounds a bit we had. So, a long Qaim Hali, a great Dane, and what they

1:21:48 > 1:22:03did -- along came Harley, they used the clear fluid, then...It is like

1:22:03 > 1:22:07you are a scientist.They put it into the cat's rise and stopped it

1:22:07 > 1:22:11from degrading and now Zephyr is fully healthy thanks to his big mate

1:22:11 > 1:22:15the great Dane.And I love the way the great Dane doesn't like cats.It

1:22:15 > 1:22:22is one of those...It is a classic story.I was out of my depth,

1:22:22 > 1:22:26delving into science, and I rescued it.And this cat was rescued.As

1:22:26 > 1:22:30soon as I started mentioning plasma, my biology lessons from the GCSE

1:22:30 > 1:22:31came back.

1:22:31 > 1:22:35When you're out shopping it can be nice to find a seat for a quick rest

1:22:35 > 1:22:37and to take the load off your feet.

1:22:37 > 1:22:40But for some the availability of seating can be the deciding

1:22:40 > 1:22:43factor in whether it's possible to go out at all.

1:22:43 > 1:22:46New research suggests around a quarter of older people feel

1:22:46 > 1:22:47excluded from our high streets.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49Breakfast's John McGuire has been to find out more.

1:22:49 > 1:22:57Will you walk around a Sainsbury's, or sitdown?Sitdown.Clive and

1:22:57 > 1:23:01Margaret enjoy getting out and about in the local town of Fleet in

1:23:01 > 1:23:06Hampshire.If you are tired, sitdown.It is OK.They like

1:23:06 > 1:23:11exercise, fresh air and the chance to see what they are buying. That

1:23:11 > 1:23:16looks nice, that lemon cake.It is nice to choose your own fruit and

1:23:16 > 1:23:20vegetables rather than have them delivered and get the wrong number

1:23:20 > 1:23:24or the wrong variety.But also very important, somewhere to sit down and

1:23:24 > 1:23:28take the weight off their feet. Would you choose a supermarket that

1:23:28 > 1:23:33had seating over one that didn't? Yes, we would, because we wouldn't

1:23:33 > 1:23:37want to stand for half an hour.Some you have to wander around and stand

1:23:37 > 1:23:45forever, you know.The Anchor trust, which houses all the people, says

1:23:45 > 1:23:49access to the high street is a real concern and, as the population ages,

1:23:49 > 1:23:55also a growing one.Potentially retailers are missing out on 4.5

1:23:55 > 1:24:01billion pounds a year by 2030 by not providing adequate seating, so this

1:24:01 > 1:24:07talk about the high-streets kind of dying and the death of the

1:24:07 > 1:24:10high-street, it is premature and actually there is a really big

1:24:10 > 1:24:14opportunity for retailers to provide seats for shoppers of the future.

1:24:14 > 1:24:20The charity asked 1000 over 70s for their views on going shopping.

1:24:20 > 1:24:25Almost a quarter of the people questioned by the survey, 23%, in

1:24:25 > 1:24:30fact, said they felt excluded from the modern high-street. Unexpected

1:24:30 > 1:24:35item in the bagging area, around 24% people are put off with these self

1:24:35 > 1:24:40scan machines. And are there enough places to sit down in towns and

1:24:40 > 1:24:43cities centres? 60% of people thought not. The charity has

1:24:43 > 1:24:49launched this idea. Standing up for sitting down. It is backed by large

1:24:49 > 1:24:53chains including Sainsburys, Morrisons and Debenhams and more

1:24:53 > 1:24:58than 200 independent shops.So this is our chair and we have it for

1:24:58 > 1:25:04anybody that comes into the shop, used often for Alves in a older

1:25:04 > 1:25:08guests and customers if they want to sit down and have a break when they

1:25:08 > 1:25:12are shopping. Even if it is a tiny thing, it is really important so

1:25:12 > 1:25:15they can take a break if they want to.And the campaign says it

1:25:15 > 1:25:20benefits both older shoppers and retailers, aiming to see some of the

1:25:20 > 1:25:27grey pounds spent online coming back into high-street til. -- tills.

1:25:27 > 1:25:30The British Retail Consortium says retailers have been working to bring

1:25:30 > 1:25:33in seating, as well as introduce other initiatives to make high

1:25:33 > 1:25:35streets more accessible to more people.

1:25:35 > 1:25:40Tell us what you think about that. Do you find difficulties as well?

1:25:40 > 1:25:41You're watching Breakfast.

1:25:41 > 1:25:44Still to come this morning: She's been described as "Britain's most

1:25:44 > 1:25:47wanted boss" and Dame Carolyn McCall will be speaking to Steph ahead

1:25:47 > 1:25:53of her move from easyJet to ITV.

1:25:53 > 1:25:56Yes, she will be here with us in a few minutes' time.

1:25:56 > 1:29:16Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

1:29:16 > 1:29:19and things get much colder as we head through Saturday.

1:29:31 > 1:29:35Theresa May looks set to offer the EU a bigger divorce bill payment

1:29:35 > 1:29:36in return for trade talks.

1:29:36 > 1:29:39The BBC understands the move was given the go-ahead

1:29:39 > 1:29:41during a meeting of senior cabinet ministers yesterday.

1:29:41 > 1:29:44The Prime Minister is expected to put the offer

1:29:44 > 1:29:47to the EU later this week.

1:29:47 > 1:29:49Britain had been told it must make more progress,

1:29:49 > 1:30:06if talks are to move on to the next phase.

1:30:06 > 1:30:10Angela Merkel has said she would prefer to call a snap election and

1:30:10 > 1:30:13run under a minority government.

1:30:13 > 1:30:15Robert Mugabe faces being impeached after refusing to step down

1:30:15 > 1:30:17as President of Zimbabwe.

1:30:17 > 1:30:19The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, could ask parliament to begin

1:30:19 > 1:30:20the process today.

1:30:20 > 1:30:22The 93-year old, who remains under armed guard

1:30:22 > 1:30:25in the Presidential palace, is accused of allowing his wife

1:30:25 > 1:30:28to seize power illegally and many believe Mr Mugabe is now

1:30:28 > 1:30:29incapable of governing.

1:30:29 > 1:30:31Last night, the military suggested a plan was emerging

1:30:31 > 1:30:38for the transfer of power.

1:30:38 > 1:30:41We have made further consultation with the President to agree

1:30:41 > 1:30:44on a roadmap on the prevailing situation in the country.

1:30:44 > 1:30:49The Zimbabwe defence and security services are encouraged

1:30:49 > 1:30:54by new developments which include conduct between the President

1:30:54 > 1:31:04and the former vice-president, comrade Emmerson Mnangagwa,

1:31:04 > 1:31:06who is expected in the country shortly.

1:31:06 > 1:31:09Lung cancer screening will be offered at supermarkets and shopping

1:31:09 > 1:31:12centres in some areas of England, as part of a drive

1:31:12 > 1:31:13to speed up diagnosis.

1:31:13 > 1:31:18A pilot scheme, which targeted smokers and former

1:31:18 > 1:31:20smokers in Greater Manchester, saw a significant rise

1:31:20 > 1:31:22in early detection rates.

1:31:22 > 1:31:25There was a four-fold increase in the number of cases found

1:31:25 > 1:31:28at stage one or two when the disease is more easily

1:31:28 > 1:31:29treated.

1:31:29 > 1:31:34President Trump has re-declared North Korea as a state sponsor

1:31:34 > 1:31:37of terrorism nine years after it was removed from the list.

1:31:37 > 1:31:39Mr Trump said the move would trigger very large

1:31:39 > 1:31:41additional sanctions, which will be announced

1:31:41 > 1:31:43in the future.

1:31:43 > 1:31:46He blamed the country's nuclear programme, as well as its support

1:31:46 > 1:31:49for what he called international acts of terrorism.

1:31:49 > 1:31:54South Korea has welcomed the move.

1:31:54 > 1:31:57TV presenter Paul Hollywood has accused his former Bake Off

1:31:57 > 1:31:59colleagues - including fellow judge Mary Berry -

1:31:59 > 1:32:00of abandoning the show.

1:32:00 > 1:32:02Mary Berry, along with presenters Mel and Sue,

1:32:02 > 1:32:05left the programme when it moved to Channel 4.

1:32:05 > 1:32:07In an interview with the Radio Times, he said

1:32:07 > 1:32:11the criticism he received after his decision to stay

1:32:11 > 1:32:15with the show was not fun and that he felt he became the most

1:32:15 > 1:32:20hated man in the country.

1:32:20 > 1:32:23Coming up in the programme, Carol will have the weather

1:32:23 > 1:32:28in around 10 minutes.

1:32:28 > 1:32:31She is staring down Regent Street which we have learnt was the first

1:32:31 > 1:32:40St to have Christmas lights back in 1954, 19 56. In the 50s! Carol

1:32:40 > 1:32:46knows, thankfully.I'm talking about Mike Ashley this morning and

1:32:46 > 1:32:50rumblings coming out of Newcastle about the potential sale of the

1:32:50 > 1:32:57club. He is not particularly happy about the amount of money being

1:32:57 > 1:33:04offered. There is a suggestion it is around £300 million but he suggests

1:33:04 > 1:33:07the figure could be much lower.

1:33:07 > 1:33:10Mike Ashley's time as owner of Newcastle United could be coming

1:33:10 > 1:33:11to an end.

1:33:11 > 1:33:13A financial firm led by British businesswoman

1:33:13 > 1:33:15Amanda Staveley has launched a takeover bid

1:33:15 > 1:33:17in the region of £300 million.

1:33:17 > 1:33:22Newcastle are yet to comment publicly on the news.

1:33:22 > 1:33:25Brighton twice came from behind to deny Stoke all three points

1:33:25 > 1:33:30at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League last night.

1:33:30 > 1:33:32Stoke took the lead through Choupo-Moting -

1:33:32 > 1:33:34his third goal of the season.

1:33:34 > 1:33:37Jose Izquierdo got the final goal of the night to earn Chris Hughton's

1:33:37 > 1:33:43side a point - Brighton are now unbeaten in five league matches.

1:33:43 > 1:33:48We would have liked more, certainly, probably the overall performance

1:33:48 > 1:33:54wasn't good enough to get all three points and I thought we showed great

1:33:54 > 1:33:57credit and character to come back twice from being behind

1:33:57 > 1:34:00but overall, I think the draw was a fair result.

1:34:00 > 1:34:03West Bromwich Albion are looking for a new manager after sacking Tony

1:34:03 > 1:34:03Pulis.

1:34:03 > 1:34:07(OOV) A four nil home defeat to Chelsea left the club one point

1:34:07 > 1:34:10above the relegation zone and ended Pulis's reign after less than three

1:34:10 > 1:34:13years in charge.

1:34:13 > 1:34:16He is the fifth Premier League manager to be dismissed this season.

1:34:16 > 1:34:20Gary Megson has been put in temporary charge.

1:34:20 > 1:34:22Australia head coach Michael Cheika is being investigated

1:34:22 > 1:34:24for his comments and conduct during Saturday's match

1:34:24 > 1:34:27against England at Twickenham.

1:34:27 > 1:34:30The disciplinary authorities are investigating

1:34:30 > 1:34:32with an update expected later.

1:34:32 > 1:34:37Cheika reacted strongly to a series of decisions that went

1:34:37 > 1:34:40against his side in the 30 points to 6 defeat, while he also

1:34:40 > 1:34:43was involved in an exchange with a supporter.

1:34:43 > 1:34:46Staying with rugby union and Sarah Hunter will win her

1:34:46 > 1:34:48hundredth cap for England women later.

1:34:48 > 1:34:51She'll lead the Red Roses out against Canada for the second match

1:34:51 > 1:34:52in their Autumn series.

1:34:52 > 1:35:10The 2014 World Cup winner was named World Player of the Year last year.

1:35:10 > 1:35:13David Haye's heavyweight rematch with Tony Bellew has been postponed

1:35:13 > 1:35:15after a freak training accident.

1:35:15 > 1:35:17The fight was due to take place next month,

1:35:17 > 1:35:19but Haye slipped during a stair conditioning session

1:35:19 > 1:35:23and tore his bicep when he grabbed a bannister to stop himself falling.

1:35:23 > 1:35:26He's had surgery and it's now hoped the fight will go ahead next

1:35:26 > 1:35:28March or May.

1:35:28 > 1:35:33He's had lots of trouble in the past with all sorts of injuries. Not a

1:35:33 > 1:35:37nice thing. You can imagine, trying not to fall over. The first thing

1:35:37 > 1:35:43you do is reach out. Tearing a bicep is really painful.

1:35:43 > 1:35:56March or May for a full recovery.

1:35:56 > 1:35:59After retiring from football, former Liverpool and Manchester United

1:35:59 > 1:36:01striker Michael Owen turned his attention horse racing.

1:36:01 > 1:36:06And ownership in particular.

1:36:06 > 1:36:07from football, former Liverpool and Manchester United

1:36:07 > 1:36:10striker Michael Owen turned his attention horse racing.

1:36:10 > 1:36:11And ownership in particular.

1:36:11 > 1:36:14But now for the first time he'll compete as a jockey -

1:36:14 > 1:36:17his first race will be at Ascot in aid of the Prince's Countryside

1:36:17 > 1:36:18Fund.

1:36:18 > 1:36:20Owen will be the only novice in the race.

1:36:20 > 1:36:24He first sat on a horse less than a year ago and started riding

1:36:24 > 1:36:26for the first time in April.

1:36:26 > 1:36:29We tried to put the on the nice horses to start with,

1:36:29 > 1:36:33ones that aren't keen to spin and spin around so I've had a gentle

1:36:33 > 1:36:36introduction but there is no hiding place, you have to go and do it

1:36:36 > 1:36:39and the ups and downs, the weight loss, getting dumped

1:36:39 > 1:36:41on the floor, the pain.

1:36:41 > 1:36:44It's all been a massive learning curve and way harder than I thought.

1:36:44 > 1:36:48He said he thought he'd give it a go because he wanted to lose weight. He

1:36:48 > 1:36:52wanted something to do. He wanted the challenge. The horsey will be

1:36:52 > 1:36:58riding at Ascot I think is the technical term, a little more

1:36:58 > 1:37:04feisty.Skittish.Very good luck to him. He absolutely loves

1:37:04 > 1:37:10horseracing. He will happily talk you about football but if you talk

1:37:10 > 1:37:16about horses, is off.Why hasn't he done this before? He couldn't. He

1:37:16 > 1:37:24wasn't allowed. He was allowed to sit on a horse.But that jockey

1:37:24 > 1:37:29thing now, sleeping on a hot bath, wearing a massive towel.That's

1:37:29 > 1:37:55Woody said. He is eating nothing. Poor man. The first major wave of

1:37:55 > 1:38:00Caribbean immigrants is being celebrated by dense company.Colin

1:38:00 > 1:38:04Patterson has been to meet them.

1:38:04 > 1:38:07The Empire Windrush brings to Britain many Jamaicans.

1:38:07 > 1:38:08They served this country well.

1:38:08 > 1:38:09History being turned into dance.

1:38:09 > 1:38:16Next year is the 70th anniversary of the Empire Windrush bringing

1:38:16 > 1:38:19the first large group of post-war Caribbean immigrants to the UK.

1:38:19 > 1:38:25Swing, swing.

1:38:25 > 1:38:26Don't go too soon.

1:38:26 > 1:38:29Sharon Watson is the artistic dance director of Phoenix Dance Company

1:38:29 > 1:38:32in Leeds, inspired by her own mother's journey from Jamaica

1:38:32 > 1:38:33in 1960s and decided

1:38:33 > 1:38:41to create a piece about Windrush.

1:38:41 > 1:38:44It resonates with our family in leaving a home and place.

1:38:44 > 1:38:45Relocating somewhere new, somewhere different.

1:38:45 > 1:38:49I picked her brain considerably.

1:38:49 > 1:38:52Her mum had come along to see the work in progress

1:38:52 > 1:38:58and it was bringing back memories of own arrival in the UK.

1:38:58 > 1:39:00You could see icicles hanging down from the windows

1:39:00 > 1:39:03which you don't see now.

1:39:03 > 1:39:07I had a big coat on a big boat and we had never seen them before.

1:39:07 > 1:39:11It was a bit unusual for me.

1:39:11 > 1:39:14Members of Leeds' Caribbean community had also been invited

1:39:14 > 1:39:19so they could give feedback based on their own voyages.

1:39:20 > 1:39:23That Windrush, it reminds me so much,

1:39:23 > 1:39:27like sardines packed in that boat.

1:39:28 > 1:39:32And they are thrilled the story will be on stage next February.

1:39:32 > 1:39:36When the younger people come and see what's going on,

1:39:36 > 1:39:39they understand what the old ladies and old gentleman had to go through.

1:39:39 > 1:39:42So this is Leeds, 1940...

1:39:42 > 1:39:441948.

1:39:44 > 1:39:47Phoenix Dance Company has also made an old discovery

1:39:47 > 1:39:53they hope they can show.

1:39:53 > 1:39:55Alford Gardiner is 91, lives in Leeds

1:39:55 > 1:39:56and came over on Windrush.

1:39:56 > 1:40:00He's agreed to share his memories to help shape the production.

1:40:00 > 1:40:04He was a mechanic in the RAF in Britain during the Second World War

1:40:04 > 1:40:08and a lack of work at home made him want to come back.

1:40:08 > 1:40:11In Jamaica at the time, if you haven't got a job,

1:40:11 > 1:40:14you are a nobody.

1:40:14 > 1:40:20What was it like on Windrush?

1:40:20 > 1:40:23We had six ex-army boys who wanted to commandeer our money.

1:40:23 > 1:40:32Between us, we got them on the boat.

1:40:32 > 1:40:33We were busy hiding them.

1:40:33 > 1:40:35Three men in a toilet hiding.

1:40:35 > 1:40:36That is what happened.

1:40:36 > 1:40:39What can I say, it's part of history now.

1:40:39 > 1:40:39It is history.

1:40:39 > 1:40:42And 70 years on, Alford, who worked in factories

1:40:42 > 1:40:43and had nine children,

1:40:43 > 1:40:47thinks getting on Windrush was a great decision.

1:40:47 > 1:40:58I have family, music.

1:40:58 > 1:41:04-- I live on three principles -

1:41:04 > 1:41:07family, music and sport.

1:41:07 > 1:41:09After them three things, good luck for everything else.

1:41:09 > 1:41:12You strike me as a man who has enjoyed life.

1:41:12 > 1:41:13And I am still enjoying it.

1:41:13 > 1:41:21And I will always be enjoying it.

1:41:21 > 1:41:25What a charming man. It will premiere in Yorkshire in February

1:41:25 > 1:41:27and then will tour the country.

1:41:27 > 1:41:30Women spend an average of 1,600 pounds on tampons and sanitary

1:41:30 > 1:41:33towels during their lifetime and that includes more than 160

1:41:33 > 1:41:34pounds of VAT.

1:41:34 > 1:41:37The government has promised to scrap the so-called Tampon Tax by next

1:41:37 > 1:41:39year, but does that go far enough?

1:41:39 > 1:41:42The BBC's devised an online calculator so women can work out how

1:41:42 > 1:41:44much they're likely to spend on sanitary products.

1:41:44 > 1:41:47The BBC's Christine Jeavans was behind that tool and she joins

1:41:47 > 1:41:51us now from London.

1:41:51 > 1:41:55Here in the studio we have Chella Quint,

1:41:55 > 1:41:59who's the founder of the Period Positive campaign.

1:41:59 > 1:42:05They give adjoining ours. Tell us about why you have come up with this

1:42:05 > 1:42:10idea.Our team decided to put together this calculator because we

1:42:10 > 1:42:14felt it was an issue that affects most women and it's something that

1:42:14 > 1:42:21people will be really interested in and it's been five different VAT

1:42:21 > 1:42:26rates on sanitary products since VAT was introduced in 1973. It is

1:42:26 > 1:42:33difficult to work out how much you have spent yourself.VAT is meant to

1:42:33 > 1:42:38be on luxury goods, isn't it? Currently, sanitary products are

1:42:38 > 1:42:45taxed at the reduced rate of 5% but prior to 2001, they were at the full

1:42:45 > 1:42:52standard rate of VAT which was 17.5%.I know you have had a go at

1:42:52 > 1:42:58the calculator. What do you think?I have spent about three months of

1:42:58 > 1:43:04mortgage on menstrual products. I think the calculator is fascinating.

1:43:04 > 1:43:09It would be great to use. I'm amazed at how many menstrual products I

1:43:09 > 1:43:18have brought.From your point of view, removing the VAT would be the

1:43:18 > 1:43:26first step?Not necessarily. It's been decreasing over the years. It's

1:43:26 > 1:43:30currently around the rate of things that we throw away. It's important

1:43:30 > 1:43:37to look at the sustainability. If we use around 11,000 menstrual

1:43:37 > 1:43:41products, there will be more menstruate is in Parliament in 1973,

1:43:41 > 1:43:46it would never have been taxed in the first place. -- if there were

1:43:46 > 1:43:53more people who menstruated.You are hoping to make the city a period

1:43:53 > 1:43:58positive place.What is that mean? Period Positive came out of my

1:43:58 > 1:44:03research, my masters of education. I worked with young people who wanted

1:44:03 > 1:44:12a symbol or an emblem that would show teachers were OK to talk about

1:44:12 > 1:44:16periods and they could get on menstrual product on the spot. It is

1:44:16 > 1:44:21a symbol with a smiley face and it would be a Charter Mark. A citywide

1:44:21 > 1:44:30charter. Challenging taboos. Making sure managing menstruation is

1:44:30 > 1:44:39appropriate and helpful. So that kids aren't worried. The whole city

1:44:39 > 1:44:42is on board with that. Schools are being offered free training and

1:44:42 > 1:44:48support from me and Period Positive, the Children's Hospital staff who

1:44:48 > 1:44:54are involved. It's a citywide initiative. I hope other cities will

1:44:54 > 1:45:03take part.You are saying menstrual products rather than sanitary

1:45:03 > 1:45:10products.It is not unsanitary. They are either all gross or they'll all

1:45:10 > 1:45:18fine. It's personal choice. You don't need to keep it secret.

1:45:18 > 1:45:24Periods are no more less unsanitary than any other bodily functions.

1:45:24 > 1:45:29Some retailers treat these products differently?Off the back of

1:45:29 > 1:45:38interest in the tampon tax, Morrisons, Tesco, Co-op and Waitrose

1:45:38 > 1:45:48decided to shoulder the 5%. If and when we go to zero rated VAT on

1:45:48 > 1:45:53these products, we will pass on the price cut to customers.

1:45:53 > 1:45:55Do you think they should be

1:45:55 > 1:45:59Do you think they should be free? Absolutely not, because companies

1:45:59 > 1:46:03are profiting from them, so someone is paying and for last 100 years

1:46:03 > 1:46:07corporations have used shame and secrecy to get us up in arms about

1:46:07 > 1:46:11periods without challenging this early or often enough. Education is

1:46:11 > 1:46:16a good long-term solution to period poverty. Supporting communities and

1:46:16 > 1:46:20not being afraid to ask, and looking at sustainability in future. Not

1:46:20 > 1:46:25everybody likes reusable products. Teaching people about all of them

1:46:25 > 1:46:31out there, and teaching boys and other kids is the most available way

1:46:31 > 1:46:35to make it free in future.Thank you very much. It was good to talk to

1:46:35 > 1:46:44you. If you want to do the sums, it is all set up for you. Visit: And it

1:46:44 > 1:46:50will tell you how much you spend and also the VAT on that. It is quite a

1:46:50 > 1:46:55difficult calculation. It has changed over the years. Good

1:46:55 > 1:46:56morning.

1:46:56 > 1:47:00You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

1:47:00 > 1:47:05We have Paloma Faith on the programme later on.

1:47:05 > 1:47:09And Carol was telling us earlier that she watched as the lights were

1:47:09 > 1:47:13switched on this morning. And behind her, the aforementioned lights

1:47:13 > 1:47:15switched on by the aforementioned guest this

1:47:15 > 1:47:16switched on by the aforementioned guest this morning.

1:47:16 > 1:47:24Good morning. Are they not gorgeous? They are twinkling down on Regent

1:47:24 > 1:47:29Street, 300,000 LEDs creating that beautiful spectacle. Now, we just

1:47:29 > 1:47:35heard recently that the term "Fairy lights" came from 1882 at the

1:47:35 > 1:47:44production of the Gilbert and Sullivan Yolanthe, and they became

1:47:44 > 1:47:54stuck. Not as many as the 300,000 as we can see behind us. It is breezy

1:47:54 > 1:47:58ahead of us and some of us will see some rain at times. Some of us

1:47:58 > 1:48:04already have the rain. Temperatures currently in Flintshire and Northern

1:48:04 > 1:48:09Ireland are resting at 14 Celsius. So we have the rain across northern

1:48:09 > 1:48:13England and Scotland. There is a lot of dry weather, cloud and some of

1:48:13 > 1:48:17the cloud is thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle. Through the day

1:48:17 > 1:48:21more rain will come in from the west. It won't be particular heavy

1:48:21 > 1:48:26at this stage. So by mid afternoon the rain will migrate north across

1:48:26 > 1:48:30Scotland. It will be north of the central belt by then. For the

1:48:30 > 1:48:33southern uplands, it will be cloudy, as it will be across northern

1:48:33 > 1:48:38England. Look at the temperatures. Across the Pennines there will be

1:48:38 > 1:48:45some rain. Bright skies for north-east England. All points south

1:48:45 > 1:48:50and east, it is cloudy. As we move to the south-west, it is also

1:48:50 > 1:48:54cloudy. It is thick enough for some spots of rain. We will have rain in

1:48:54 > 1:48:58Wales this afternoon. When it is not raining it will be fairly cloudy.

1:48:58 > 1:49:02The rain is just south of Northern Ireland by three o'clock and still

1:49:02 > 1:49:06it will be thick enough for the odd spot. Bright skies across the north

1:49:06 > 1:49:10of Northern Ireland. Through this evening and overnight you can see

1:49:10 > 1:49:13two distinctive dance of rain on the chart. The heaviest and persistent

1:49:13 > 1:49:19across northern Scotland. The wind is going to strengthen. It will be a

1:49:19 > 1:49:23cold easterly. Showers across the Northern Isles will be wintry in

1:49:23 > 1:49:27nature. And here it is going to be cold. For most of the UK tonight it

1:49:27 > 1:49:32is going to be unseasonably mild. So, tomorrow we start with the rain

1:49:32 > 1:49:37across the north and the west of the UK. Some of that will be heavy and

1:49:37 > 1:49:40persistent, particularly with height, for example, Snowdonia and

1:49:40 > 1:49:45the Cumbrian Fels. The other feature of tomorrow's whether it is it will

1:49:45 > 1:49:48be windy, continuing to strengthen through the day in the west with

1:49:48 > 1:49:51gusty wind in the south. But the further east you are, the drier it

1:49:51 > 1:49:56will be, with highs in London up to 15 Celsius. Then for Thursday the

1:49:56 > 1:50:00rain continues to push to the east, clearing the south-east through the

1:50:00 > 1:50:04morning, with a dry and cloudy spell and bright breaks and then another

1:50:04 > 1:50:07band of rain comes in from the south-west. We will have rain from

1:50:07 > 1:50:12the word go across Scotland and some of that will be falling as snow down

1:50:12 > 1:50:15to road level across the Highlands and the Grampians. But by then you

1:50:15 > 1:50:18will notice the cooler conditions filtering that bit further south.

1:50:18 > 1:50:19The far south of England hangs

1:50:19 > 1:50:20filtering that bit further south. The far south of England hangs on to

1:50:20 > 1:50:25temperatures in double figures. Thank you very much indeed. We have

1:50:25 > 1:50:29been having so much fun hearing all of the history about the lights. We

1:50:29 > 1:50:35will be back with you in about half an hour. We will have Paloma Faith a

1:50:35 > 1:50:39little bit later. She switched on the Christmas lights on Regent

1:50:39 > 1:50:43Street. She is here to talk about the new album. What time is it on? I

1:50:43 > 1:51:00don't know. Nine o'clock.And then the whole -- low crosses --

1:51:00 > 1:51:05Globetrotters coming on shortly.I love that you have been told we are

1:51:05 > 1:51:09not allowed to do that and I haven't been told. You are the naughty one.

1:51:09 > 1:51:13Well, it is since the world's strongest man came in, it has

1:51:13 > 1:51:20changed things. Steph is going to come over here.Yes, we are just

1:51:20 > 1:51:26waiting for our guest, the easyJet CEO, obviously a very busy woman. We

1:51:26 > 1:51:31just have the latest results from them. They have said this morning it

1:51:31 > 1:51:38made a profit of £480 million, which is down 17% on last year. And that

1:51:38 > 1:51:42is mainly because of what's been going on in the currency market. So,

1:51:42 > 1:51:46obviously, with the fall in the Valley of the pound, it has

1:51:46 > 1:51:49pressured the airline industry. It has been really tough for all of

1:51:49 > 1:51:59them. We had Air Italia, Air Berlin, and all of the problems with

1:51:59 > 1:52:03Ryanair, with pilot issues and cancellations of flights and various

1:52:03 > 1:52:08things, so the chief executive, hopefully we will speak to her

1:52:08 > 1:52:13shortly.She can hear us, so we are getting there. A couple of moments.

1:52:13 > 1:52:23Are we nearly ready?I love live TV. Good morning. Thank you for bearing

1:52:23 > 1:52:28with us with those technical issues. Can I ask you this morning, you have

1:52:28 > 1:52:31described this in your results as a robust performance by easyJet and

1:52:31 > 1:52:36yet profits are falling. Tell us about why.Yes, of course, it is a

1:52:36 > 1:52:39strong performance if you think about it. The underlying profit is

1:52:39 > 1:52:45actually up 3%. The entire headwind has been 100 million on foreign

1:52:45 > 1:52:50exchange as you pointed out. And it is the top range of guidance, so

1:52:50 > 1:52:54there are no surprises for the market, no surprises for anybody. We

1:52:54 > 1:52:58started the year knowing that was going to be the outcome and in fact

1:52:58 > 1:53:02we have exceeded the expectations. So I think that's what's happened.

1:53:02 > 1:53:07The reason for that is the devaluation of the pound. We buy

1:53:07 > 1:53:11fuel in dollars. There is nothing you can do about that. It is a very

1:53:11 > 1:53:16hefty headwind. We have done very well. Passenger numbers are up to 80

1:53:16 > 1:53:21million. More pleasing is 60 million passengers are returning passengers.

1:53:21 > 1:53:24Very loyal passengers. Which is showing customer service, the

1:53:24 > 1:53:28product offering is all strong. The brand is in very good health. And

1:53:28 > 1:53:34load factors are very high. And the revenue is up. Revenue is over £5

1:53:34 > 1:53:40billion, it is up 8%. When you look forward, actually, that is really

1:53:40 > 1:53:45where you see the dislocation, the effect. As of October, the new

1:53:45 > 1:53:49financial year, you will see the fact that capacity comes out of the

1:53:49 > 1:53:54market, whether that is Ryanair, Monarch, Air Berlin, Air Italia,

1:53:54 > 1:53:58feeding into the first half of the financial year.You have done well

1:53:58 > 1:54:05off the back of that?We have done very well. We are a good airline

1:54:05 > 1:54:09that does great customer service and I think a lot of passengers have

1:54:09 > 1:54:13rebooked with easyJet and that is working very well for us. Capacity

1:54:13 > 1:54:17coming out of the market is of course very helpful. Capacity drives

1:54:17 > 1:54:22revenue. And that's what's happening. So actually, when you

1:54:22 > 1:54:26look at the first six months of the year, without the Air Berlin

1:54:26 > 1:54:29transaction and the costs associated, it would be profit

1:54:29 > 1:54:33upgraded to 12% and as you pointed out we have actually taken advantage

1:54:33 > 1:54:38of the weakness in the market and we have actually bought part of Air

1:54:38 > 1:54:42Berlin, which gives us a clear number one position in the Berlin

1:54:42 > 1:54:46market from two airports.And he mentions the weakness in the market

1:54:46 > 1:54:50and you described in your resort a difficult year for the aviation

1:54:50 > 1:54:54industry. How tough is it to be in the airline industry at the moment

1:54:54 > 1:55:02and white?Look, it is tough anyway -- why? It is a tough business and

1:55:02 > 1:55:05it is 24/7, relentless. You are constantly looking at everything

1:55:05 > 1:55:09going on. There are a lot of external factors. It has been

1:55:09 > 1:55:13extremely tough in the last two years. A combination of events, you

1:55:13 > 1:55:18know, Brexit, devaluing pound, we buy fuel in dollars, it is a huge

1:55:18 > 1:55:21hit and it will have been an important factor in Monarch not

1:55:21 > 1:55:26being able to survive that storm, because, as a UK airline, they would

1:55:26 > 1:55:30have been affected by that, they have stated that. External factors

1:55:30 > 1:55:34are well-known in 2016, and of external impacts, that has been

1:55:34 > 1:55:39going on, and in addition there has been capacity in the market in

1:55:39 > 1:55:442016-17, which has now come out of the market, so that is what will

1:55:44 > 1:55:50start to drive more discipline in the market and that means things

1:55:50 > 1:55:54look very good for people that are strong. So if you have a strong

1:55:54 > 1:55:58balance sheet you can take advantage of the market as easyJet can and

1:55:58 > 1:56:01that is what has happened with Air Berlin and that will happen quickly.

1:56:01 > 1:56:05I am conscious of the time and I know that you have been at easyJet

1:56:05 > 1:56:10for seven years and you are about to leave to be the boss of ITV. To a

1:56:10 > 1:56:15lot of viewers that sounds magical. How do you make that transition?

1:56:15 > 1:56:17Seventh

1:56:17 > 1:56:20How do you make that transition? seven and a half years has been

1:56:20 > 1:56:24fantastic. I love the people at easyJet and I am proud of what we

1:56:24 > 1:56:27have achieved. And all of them are amazing. And we have turned the

1:56:27 > 1:56:32company into a really great airline. So I leave with sadness but I also

1:56:32 > 1:56:36think there is always a time to leave and I would rather be leaving

1:56:36 > 1:56:41when things are starting to look very positive and that is why I am

1:56:41 > 1:56:45leaving. I think seven and a half years is the right time.Thank you

1:56:45 > 1:56:48very much. Lovely. Thank you.

1:56:48 > 1:56:51You're watching Breakfast.

1:56:51 > 1:56:55Still to come this morning:

1:56:55 > 1:56:58With extreme stunts and slam dunks, the Harlem Globetrotters

1:56:58 > 1:57:04have entertained fans for almost a century.

1:57:04 > 1:57:09Just a moment ago, they were doing brilliantly.You are live on the TV.

1:57:09 > 1:57:17That is it, start bouncing. Here we go. That is Moves and Dizzy.That is

1:57:17 > 1:57:24great. Excellent. They will be here later. Just warming up outside. One

1:57:24 > 1:57:32of them might be in the great big Breakfast mug.There you go.

1:57:32 > 1:57:38LAUGHTER Oh, they are fantastic. If you forget the first ten seconds,

1:57:38 > 1:57:39that was working perfectly.

1:57:39 > 2:00:59Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

2:00:59 > 2:00:59Rain heading

2:01:01 > 2:01:03Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:01:03 > 2:01:06Theresa May gets the backing of her Cabinet to offer

2:01:06 > 2:01:11a bigger Brexit payout.

2:01:11 > 2:01:13Senior ministers have agreed that Britain should offer

2:01:13 > 2:01:15more money to the EU, if it clears the path

2:01:15 > 2:01:17for trade talks to begin.

2:01:17 > 2:01:20But the Prime Minister is facing anger from some of her own MPs

2:01:20 > 2:01:23who are accusing the EU of holding the UK to ransom.

2:01:36 > 2:01:39Good morning. It's Tuesday the 21st of November.

2:01:39 > 2:01:43Also this morning.

2:01:43 > 2:01:46Zimbabwe's parliament prepares to take legal action to force

2:01:46 > 2:01:47Robert Mugabe from power.

2:01:47 > 2:01:49Early screening for lung cancer.

2:01:49 > 2:01:52Doctors say a trial using mobile scanners in supermarket car parks

2:01:52 > 2:01:59has proved a huge success.

2:01:59 > 2:02:04Good morning, easyJet has said it made a profit of £408 million, a

2:02:04 > 2:02:08fall when compared to the previous year. I've been talking to the boss,

2:02:08 > 2:02:10Carolyn McCall, about why.

2:02:10 > 2:02:12Could Mike Ashley's days at Newcastle be numbered

2:02:12 > 2:02:15following a formal bid for the football club?

2:02:20 > 2:02:26# Cry, baby # Who's you don't have to keep it

2:02:26 > 2:02:28inside. # She is on course for her first UK

2:02:28 > 2:02:32number one album this week, up against Taylor Swift as well, Paloma

2:02:32 > 2:02:37Faith will be here to tell us all about it. And Carol is out and

2:02:37 > 2:02:39about. Good morning from the roof of the

2:02:39 > 2:02:42BBC in London overlooking the fabulous Christmas lights on Regent

2:02:42 > 2:02:46Street. It is a mild start to the day here and across most of the UK

2:02:46 > 2:02:51except for Scotland. It is also cloudy and some of us will see some

2:02:51 > 2:02:54rain, more particularly in the north and west. More details in 15

2:02:54 > 2:02:58minutes. We will see you then.

2:02:58 > 2:03:00Good morning. First, our main story.

2:03:00 > 2:03:03Theresa May looks set to offer the EU a bigger divorce bill payment

2:03:03 > 2:03:05in return for starting trade talks next month.

2:03:05 > 2:03:07The BBC understands the move was approved at a meeting of senior

2:03:07 > 2:03:11Cabinet ministers yesterday.

2:03:11 > 2:03:13The UK had been told it must make more progress

2:03:13 > 2:03:14on its financial offer,

2:03:14 > 2:03:18if talks are to move into the next phase.

2:03:18 > 2:03:20But political uncertainty in the EU's most powerful

2:03:20 > 2:03:23member, Germany, has complicated the picture.

2:03:23 > 2:03:25There could be new elections there, following Chancellor Angela Merkel's

2:03:25 > 2:03:27failure to form a coalition government.

2:03:27 > 2:03:30We'll speak to Damien McGuinness in Berlin in a moment.

2:03:30 > 2:03:33But first, let's speak to our political correspondent

2:03:33 > 2:03:35Alex Forsyth in Westminster.

2:03:35 > 2:03:43Alex, what else came out of yesterday's meeting?

2:03:43 > 2:03:48We know that money has been a problem in these negotiations. The

2:03:48 > 2:03:52EU, put simply, wants the UK to commit to more. Yesterday, Theresa

2:03:52 > 2:03:56May gathered some senior figures to try to thrash out a negotiating

2:03:56 > 2:04:01position and we understand there was broad agreement that the UK should

2:04:01 > 2:04:06up its financial offer but only if the EU agrees to move on, to talk

2:04:06 > 2:04:09trade and transition when EU leaders next meet in December and we

2:04:09 > 2:04:13understand there were no specific figures discussed. That may be in

2:04:13 > 2:04:24part deliberate because the government does not want to paint

2:04:24 > 2:04:27things down too soon but also, they are concerned they might anger some

2:04:27 > 2:04:29on the Conservative backbenches who don't think the UK should be paying

2:04:29 > 2:04:32the EU too much. No doubt number ten will hope the agreement that has

2:04:32 > 2:04:34been reached will help move things forward in negotiations but as you

2:04:34 > 2:04:36say, there is another element now, the political instability in

2:04:36 > 2:04:43Germany. Angela Merkel, the Chancellor, a key voice around the

2:04:43 > 2:04:47negotiating table and try to get a Brexit deal, and some think the

2:04:47 > 2:04:50instability there may make it harder for an agreement to be reached but

2:04:50 > 2:04:54others suggest this could be an opportunity and any instability

2:04:54 > 2:04:58amongst the EU 27 could be a strength for the UK.Thank you.

2:04:58 > 2:05:01Our Correspondent, Damien McGuinness, is in Berlin.

2:05:01 > 2:05:07Listening to what Alex was saying, there. What is happening in Germany

2:05:07 > 2:05:10at the moment, as people will read in the papers this morning, has a

2:05:10 > 2:05:15real impact on the Brexit negotiations, doesn't it?Yes,

2:05:15 > 2:05:19potentially. At the moment in Germany, it is political stalemate,

2:05:19 > 2:05:23the coalition talks have broken down and today, the president is going to

2:05:23 > 2:05:27try to bash some heads together, of the political leaders and say they

2:05:27 > 2:05:30have do get together to form an agreement and if that does not

2:05:30 > 2:05:33happen, we could potentially see fresh elections which would mean

2:05:33 > 2:05:36months of political uncertainty. There is no guarantee it would have

2:05:36 > 2:05:40a direct impact on Brexit because actually, Berlin has always been of

2:05:40 > 2:05:47the opinion that Brussels deals with London on this. Any attempts by

2:05:47 > 2:05:51pro-Brexit MPs to talk directly with Berlin have always been rebuffed and

2:05:51 > 2:05:54German politicians are completely united in their position on Brexit.

2:05:54 > 2:05:58Whatever colour the government ends up does not really have a direct

2:05:58 > 2:06:01impact on the EU stance on Britain but of course, as Alex correctly

2:06:01 > 2:06:10pointed out, any instability within the EU largest economy -- EU's

2:06:10 > 2:06:12largest economy could potentially mean there's a certain amount of

2:06:12 > 2:06:16uncertainty in the EU in general because the leading country is in a

2:06:16 > 2:06:20state of political limbo so it could have an indirect impact on the

2:06:20 > 2:06:22Brexit talks, certainly.Thank you.

2:06:22 > 2:06:24We'll speak to Conservative MP Nigel Evans and Green Party

2:06:24 > 2:06:31co-leader Caroline Lucas about this in a few minutes' time.

2:06:31 > 2:06:35In other news, a scheme aimed at detecting lung cancer early is to be

2:06:35 > 2:06:38extended to thousands more patients. A and nothing views of mobile

2:06:38 > 2:06:41scanners in supermarkets and shopping centres in greater

2:06:41 > 2:06:44Manchester was so successful they are going to try to roll it out for

2:06:44 > 2:06:47other parts of the country. Caroline Rigby has the details.Definitely

2:06:47 > 2:06:53saved my life because I could have gone maybe two or three years. It

2:06:53 > 2:06:57would then have spread everywhere. Michael Brady was diagnosed with

2:06:57 > 2:07:00lung cancer thanks to a project which offered extra screening to

2:07:00 > 2:07:04smokers and former smokers in some of the poorest areas of Manchester.

2:07:04 > 2:07:07In an effort to boost early detection, patients thought to be

2:07:07 > 2:07:10most at risk were given CT scan Timo Boll trucks at supermarkets and

2:07:10 > 2:07:17shopping centres. Lung cancer is the UK's biggest cancer killer, claiming

2:07:17 > 2:07:2235,000 lives a year. NHS England says during the Manchester pilot,

2:07:22 > 2:07:26one case was detected every 33 people screamed and four out of five

2:07:26 > 2:07:33cases were diagnosed early when the disease is easier to treat.We have

2:07:33 > 2:07:36screening programmes are ready but people are reluctant because they

2:07:36 > 2:07:42are frightened by the C word to come forward, and lots of people think

2:07:42 > 2:07:45"If I don't really think I'll be all right", when actually it is the

2:07:45 > 2:07:48opposite, actually, the more we get tested appropriately, then that

2:07:48 > 2:07:52gives us a chance of survival. Similar schemes are now being rolled

2:07:52 > 2:07:57out in London and other parts of the north of England. Many have welcomed

2:07:57 > 2:08:00the plans but Cancer Research UK warns that the NHS will need extra

2:08:00 > 2:08:04staff to carry out the tests, a thousands more lives are to be

2:08:04 > 2:08:10saved. Caroline Rigby, BBC News.

2:08:10 > 2:08:12Robert Mugabe faces no action after refusing to step down as the

2:08:12 > 2:08:18resident of Zimbabwe. The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, could ask

2:08:18 > 2:08:22parliament to begin legal proceedings as early as today.

2:08:22 > 2:08:25Our correspondent Ben Brown is in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital.

2:08:25 > 2:08:28We talk to you yesterday at this time so where are we now and is it

2:08:28 > 2:08:34clear what is happening with Robert Mugabe?Welcome it is clear that he

2:08:34 > 2:08:38is not resigning, that is for sure, he refused to resign in the TV

2:08:38 > 2:08:40address yesterday, there was a deadline of midday local time for

2:08:40 > 2:08:44him to resign and he just refused once again to resign. So what is

2:08:44 > 2:08:48going to happen today is that in the parliament just behind me in Harare

2:08:48 > 2:08:52is that in about four hours' time, they will start proceedings to

2:08:52 > 2:08:56impeach him, launched by Zanu-PF, his own party, who want to impeach

2:08:56 > 2:09:00him. What will happen if there will be a vote in parliament on whether

2:09:00 > 2:09:04to launch proceedings. If they agree to do that, they will set up a

2:09:04 > 2:09:07committee to investigate Mr Mugabe. There are various charges under the

2:09:07 > 2:09:12constitution under which he can be impeached, serious misconduct in

2:09:12 > 2:09:15office, incapacity, violation of the Constitution and so on. If that

2:09:15 > 2:09:24committee recommends you should be impeached, they take a vote on it,

2:09:24 > 2:09:27it would need a two thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament. At the

2:09:27 > 2:09:30moment, it is not clear that Zanu-PF and the people who want to get rid

2:09:30 > 2:09:32of Mr Mugabe would have a clear majority. Zanu-PF would have to work

2:09:32 > 2:09:35with opposition parties and at the moment they are saying they would

2:09:35 > 2:09:38want to extract a price, concessions from Zanu-PF in terms of free and

2:09:38 > 2:09:42fair elections next year. It isn't by any means certain that he will be

2:09:42 > 2:09:45impeached but those who think he could be say it could all be over in

2:09:45 > 2:09:51a couple of days.OK, Ben Brown, thank you for your analysis.

2:09:51 > 2:09:54Staff employed by an outsourcing company are asking a tribunal

2:09:54 > 2:09:56to rule that they have the right to negotiate better terms

2:09:56 > 2:09:59and conditions with the University of London where they work.

2:09:59 > 2:10:00The landmark case has implications for more

2:10:00 > 2:10:02than three million workers in the UK's business

2:10:02 > 2:10:07services industry.

2:10:07 > 2:10:15They are hired through facilities companies.

2:10:15 > 2:10:16The university says it doesn't

2:10:16 > 2:10:19employ any of the workers

2:10:19 > 2:10:21and doesn't accept their concept of "joint employment".

2:10:27 > 2:10:29The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, is set to announce the change

2:10:29 > 2:10:32in Wednesday's Budget.

2:10:32 > 2:10:38Does that mean 30 is classed as a young person these days?Yes!That

2:10:38 > 2:10:40is good news!It is!

2:10:40 > 2:10:42Things didn't go according to plan for one unfortunate cameraman

2:10:42 > 2:10:44waiting to capture the moment the old Georgia Dome

2:10:44 > 2:10:48sports stadium in Atlanta, Georgia was demolished.

2:10:48 > 2:10:52He was all set up for the shot, when this happened.

2:10:52 > 2:10:59It is a great setup. Good shot, he has framed it nicely. That is the

2:10:59 > 2:11:02stadium and the explosion, it's about to implode. But we're not
