Hello - this is Breakfast,
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Theresa May gets the backing
of her cabinet to offer | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
a bigger Brexit payout. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
Senior ministers have agreed that
Britain should offer | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
more money to the EU, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | ||
if it clears the path for trade
talks to begin. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
But the Prime Minister is facing
anger from some of her own MPs | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
who are accusing the EU
of holding the UK to ransom. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
Good morning - it's Tuesday
the 21st of November. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Zimbabwe's parliament prepares
to take legal action to force | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Robert Mugabe from power. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
Early screening for lung cancer. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Doctors say a trial using mobile
scanners in supermarket car parks | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
has proved a huge success. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Work experience is the link
between education and the economy. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
But in some places fewer than 1
in 10 young people get any. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm taking a look at
how to improve that. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
In sport, could Mike Ashley's days
at Newcastle be numbered | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
following a formal bid
for the football club? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
And it's only November,
but could getting in the festive | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
mood early but help improve
your winter wellbeing? | 0:01:25 | 0:01:34 | |
It's like celebrating joy. Like, I
was so excited to come to the | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
Christmas markets this evening.
Christmas trees up at ridiculous | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
times. Everyone is waiting to put
pictures of Christmas trees on | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
Facebook. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
And Carol has the weather. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
You can see the lights of Regent
Street behind me. It is mild around | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
London, mile across many parts of
the UK. Some rain in the north and | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
the West so that further east you
are, the dry conditions are here but | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
more details on 15 minutes. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Good morning. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:09 | |
First, our main story. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Theresa May looks set to offer
the EU a bigger divorce bill payment | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
in return for starting
trade talks next month. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
The BBC understands the move
was approved at a meeting of senior | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
cabinet ministers yesterday. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
The UK had been told it
must make more progress | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
on its financial offer,
if talks are to move | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
into the next phase. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
But political uncertainty
in Germany has complicated | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
the picture, with Chancellor Angela
Merkel saying she would prefer | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
new elections rather than lead
a minority government. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
It follows a breakdown in coalition
talks, which plunged the country | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
into political crisis. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
We can get the latest on that
from our correspondent, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Damien McGuinness, who is in Berlin. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
But first, let's speak
to our Political Correspondent Alex | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Forsyth in Westminster. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
Alex, what else came out
of yesterday's meeting? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
We are. To reason they effectively
gathered some of her senior figures | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
around her to try to thrash out the
issue of money because that has been | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
stuck just -- such as stumbling
block -- block and part of the | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
problem for to reason they is there
a different views about what should | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
be done in Cabinet, some saying
let's agree to some more, others | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
saying, if you give away too much,
you have no cards that to play down | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
the line. To reason they had already
indicated the UK would meet its | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
current Budget obligations. That
amounts to some 20 billion euros. It | 0:03:24 | 0:03:33 | |
is understood when the meeting took
place, there was broad agreement the | 0:03:33 | 0:03:39 | |
UK must up its financial offer but
only if the European Union agrees to | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
start talking trade in December in
return. No figures have been | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
discussed yet but the danger for to
reason they is if she agrees to pay | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
too much, she could anger some of
her own Brexit MPs who say it is a | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
fine line to keep everyone happy and
there is this added convocation | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
because there is a time pressure on
these talks and now there is | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
political uncertainty in Germany,
one of the EU's biggest figures | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
which could further complicates
things or slow things up and sum up | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
thinking that to reason they should
have waited to see how that plays | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
out before giving more in terms of
money. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
Our correspondent,
Damien McGuinness, is in Berlin. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Could we see a snap election
in Germany in the coming months? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:31 | |
It really depends what happens over
the next few days. Right now, there | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
is political gridlock because as
Alex said, there is a failure really | 0:04:36 | 0:04:42 | |
to form a coalition here. It's
important not to overstate the | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
connection between Brexit in the
political crisis in Germany because | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
there is no direct impact in one
sense. That is because the | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
negotiations feature exactly zero
Times in the coalition talks. There | 0:04:54 | 0:05:01 | |
was a document in which Brexit was
not mentioned once and any attempts | 0:05:01 | 0:05:07 | |
by pro- Brexit MPs would be
rebuffed. German politicians across | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
the board are united in the Brussels
stance effectively and how it's been | 0:05:13 | 0:05:19 | |
dealing with Brexit. Having said
that, it's also true that political | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
instability here in Germany is not
good for the EU as a whole and it | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
there is a deadlock year and
gridlock in a long drawn-out process | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
of new elections, that does mean it
heart are potentially for Germany to | 0:05:32 | 0:05:40 | |
offer or take part in pushing
forward. To many of the Britain a | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
better deal. It does make things
more difficult and does mean there | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
could be more political instability
over the next few months. Much to | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
consider. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
We'll speak to Conservative MP
Nigel Evans and Green Party | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
co-leader Caroline Lucas about this
just after 8 o'clock. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:08 | |
A scheme aimed at detecting lung
cancer, earlier is to be extended | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
to thousands more patients. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
NHS England says the use of mobile
scanners at supermarkets | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
and shopping centres
in Greater Manchester proved | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
so successful, similar schemes
will now be rolled out to other | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
parts of the country. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
Caroline Rigby has more. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
It has saved my life, definitely
saved my life, because I could have | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
gone maybe two or three years and it
could have spread everywhere. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:34 | |
Michael Brady was diagnosed with
lung cancer thanks to a project | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
which offered extra screening to
smokers and former smokers in some | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
of the poorest Manchester areas.
Patients thought to be most at risk | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
were given CT scans in Mobile trucks
and supermarkets at shopping | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
centres. Lung cancer is the biggest
cancer killer in the UK, claiming | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
35,000 each year. NHS England says
during the pilot one case was | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
detected every 33 people screamed
and four out of five cases were | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
diagnosed early when the disease is
easier to treat. -- easier. Similar | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
schemes in London and the North of
England. Many have welcomed it but | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
there are warnings there will be
extra staff needed if more lives are | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
to be saved. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
President Trump has announced
that the US is re-designating | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
North Korea a state sponsor
of terrorism, nine years | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
after it was removed from the list. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
He said the move would
trigger "very large" | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
additional sanctions
to be announced later. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
Mr Trump blamed the country's
nuclear programme, and support | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
for what he called international
acts of terrorism. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
South Korea has welcomed the move. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
Robert Mugabe is faces
being impeached after refusing | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
to step down as
President of Zimbabwe. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF,
could ask parlimament to begin | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
the process today. | 0:07:53 | 0:08:01 | |
The 93-year old, who
remains under armed guard | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
in the Presidential palace,
is accused of allowing his wife | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
to usurp power and many believe
he is now incapable of governing. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
Last night, the military
suggested a plan was emerging | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
for the transfer of power. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
We have made the consultation with
the President to agree on a roadmap | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
to the prevailing situation in the
country. The Zimbabwe defence and | 0:08:21 | 0:08:27 | |
security services, are encouraged by
new developments which include | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
conduct between the President and
the former vice president. He is | 0:08:32 | 0:08:41 | |
expected in the country shortly. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
The Argentine Navy says noises
picked up by two ships | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
in the South Atlantic on their sonar
equipment are not coming | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
from a missing Argentine submarine. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
The sub with 44 crew on board
disappeared 6 days ago | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
off the coast of Argentina. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
Relatives are waiting
patiently for news. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
The United States has sent
specialist underwater rescue | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
equipment to help in the search,
which has been hampered | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
by heavy winds. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
Paul Hollywood has accused former
presenters Mary Berry and Mel and | 0:09:10 | 0:09:17 | |
Sue of abandoning the show when it
moved to Channel 4. He says the | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
criticism he received was not fun
and that he felt he became the most | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
hated man in the country. You can't
have a pop at Mary Berry, can you? I | 0:09:26 | 0:09:34 | |
don't know. He is on the front page
of many of the papers. You are going | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
to be with us for the papers but you
have all the sport fries as well. I | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
got my glasses on. For reading the
paper later. Can't read the paper | 0:09:45 | 0:09:53 | |
without them? No. Those are
excellent. Aren't they brilliant? I | 0:09:53 | 0:10:00 | |
will have a go. Hello. Oh, my
goodness. Very good. Can I do them | 0:10:00 | 0:10:11 | |
now? We have all tried my glasses
on. They are fabulous. I just love | 0:10:11 | 0:10:19 | |
them. Anyway. What's going to happen
at Newcastle? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:30 | |
Newcastle have been quite a leaky
club at the moment. Would be | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
interesting to find out where
information is coming from. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Could Mike Ashley's time as owner
of Newcastle United be coming | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
to an end? | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
A financial firm led
by British businesswoman | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
Amanda Staveley has
launched a takeover bid | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
in the region of £300 million. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Newcastle are yet to comment
publicly on the news. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:54 | |
Brighton twice came from behind
to draw 2-2 at home to Stoke. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
They are now unbeaten in five
Premier League matches while Stoke | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
are only four points
above the relegation zone. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
Australia rugby union head coach
Michael Cheika is being investigated | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
over his comments and conduct
during the defeat against | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
England on Saturday. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
He reacted angrily when a series
of decisions went against his team | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
at Twickenham. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:27 | |
And the rematch between David Haye
and Tony Bellew has been pushed back | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
to either March or May next year. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
Haye has torn a bicep
in a freak training accident. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Bellew won the original fight -
and the second clash had been due | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
to take place at London's
O2 Arena next month. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:48 | |
You as training and training on the
stairs, we have seen his extreme | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
training regime. -- he was. He was
on stairs and he fell down. They | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
were just stairs. In the gym, there
are sets of stairs. Justin Johnson | 0:11:58 | 0:12:05 | |
did that? He fell down the stairs
and he was the overwhelming | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
favourite. What was -- was he
training? He was foolishly wearing | 0:12:09 | 0:12:15 | |
socks. I've fallen down the stairs a
couple of times before. It's not | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
nice. Top to bottom of the stairs.
And I didn't have anything to drink. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:31 | |
At first? No, tumbling. Twice in two
months. Was it the middle of the | 0:12:31 | 0:12:37 | |
night and was a dark? I'd just had
new baby. I was discombobulated. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:46 | |
That is a good work -- good word.
There was no style involved. Full | 0:12:46 | 0:12:53 | |
tumble and crying. We are all glad
you have recovered. Moving on from | 0:12:53 | 0:13:01 | |
the stairs tumble. Paul Hollywood is
on the front page of the newspapers. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:08 | |
Also front page of the mail as well.
We are talking about people being | 0:13:08 | 0:13:16 | |
offered cancer scans. The front page
of the Times this morning. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:27 | |
Mentioning the death of Charles
Manson. The picture of here is of | 0:13:27 | 0:13:33 | |
Angela Merkel. The possibility of
another German election next few | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
months. The Brexit bill. The likes
of Jacob Rees-Mogg who are saying | 0:13:38 | 0:13:50 | |
that Brexit talks should stall.
I love how newspapers use pictures | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
to tell a story. That is the Angela
Merkel front page. She might have | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
had something in her right.
It made the Telegraph? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
In a different form.
Angela Merkel facing battle for | 0:14:03 | 0:14:10 | |
survival. You could use that for an
eye test. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
In America, you get politicians,
like Ed Miliband doing the cough | 0:14:14 | 0:14:20 | |
mixture.
This is an interesting story. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
Sailors from the Royal Navy will
perform that first changing of the | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
guards next week at Buckingham
Palace. What are you reading over | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
there? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
British Gas, you might remember that
announced they were getting rid of | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
the standard variable tariff, the
most expensive tariff, which people | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
can end up on, where it is variable
depending on what is happening with | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
gas prices and electricity prices,
which is leading the papers this | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
morning. The government, you will
remember, Theresa May suggested she | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
would bring a cap on energy prices,
so it is energy companies trying to | 0:15:00 | 0:15:07 | |
pre-empt what might happen. They say
that is not why they have done it. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
It is good news for people who are
on these rates. Just another story, | 0:15:11 | 0:15:17 | |
obviously there is lots of food
delivery companies now, mainly to | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
your home, but apparently you can
get it to the pub. If you are in a | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
pub, or an establishment that
doesn't serve food, you can deliver | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
it now to serve food straight to the
pub. I am sure I have done that | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
before. I am sure I have had Peter
in a pub. Have you? Yes -- pizza in | 0:15:36 | 0:15:47 | |
a pub. Talking about weird injuries,
Stuart broad, get in on this picture | 0:15:47 | 0:15:55 | |
here, he has been mysteriously
injured in Brisbane ahead of the | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
first test on Thursday. That is a
bruise. Do you know what happened? | 0:16:00 | 0:16:06 | |
He was hit by a stray golf ball. An
assailant overhit his driver and | 0:16:06 | 0:16:13 | |
struck him on the back. Joe Root was
having a laugh. It could be quite | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
serious. We need him. And before I
go, I want to show you this. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:24 | |
Favourite headline, who else would
you call if you had a club and | 0:16:24 | 0:16:31 | |
needed a manager? Fireman Sam, West
Brom in talks with Sam Allardyce. I | 0:16:31 | 0:16:37 | |
have not given any way to that. I
thought it was a nice headline. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
Lovely stories as well about Jana
Novotna, she worked for the BBC for | 0:16:41 | 0:16:53 | |
BBC Wimbledon. She was so
warmhearted and brilliant. The news | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
of her death hit many people hard.
Thank you. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:04 | |
From festive adverts
to music in the shops, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
Christmas seems to arrive earlier
and earlier every year. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
But how soon is too soon
to start celebrating? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
It's been suggested that putting
up your decorations sooner can | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
actually make you feel happier. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:15 | |
Do you agree? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
We went to the Manchester Christmas
Markets to find out if people | 0:17:16 | 0:17:23 | |
are feeling warm and fuzzy
inside or frustrated that it's too | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
much too soon. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:34 | |
I love Christmas. It is my favourite
time of year. November is a good | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
time. No, I think December onwards,
not November. The earlier, the | 0:17:38 | 0:17:45 | |
better. I love the vibes. I have
been looking forward for this. Yes. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:52 | |
By the time Christmas comes, I am
fed up with John Lewis and | 0:17:52 | 0:17:57 | |
Sainsbury's. Wait until December.
When I was little, we put it up on | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
Christmas Eve. It can start in
September, we will still be here. It | 0:18:03 | 0:18:10 | |
is celebrating joy. I was so excited
to come this evening. People start | 0:18:10 | 0:18:16 | |
putting up the trees at ridiculous
times. Everyone is rating to put up | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
pictures of Christmas trees on
Facebook. As soon as Halloween is | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
done, anything can come out
Christmas related. Is it | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
controversial? I think we need to
know what you think about this. I | 0:18:28 | 0:18:36 | |
really want to hold on until
December the first. That is too | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
early for me. I can see. The weekend
of the ninth or the 10th, giving you | 0:18:39 | 0:18:47 | |
a buildup to get the juices flowing.
Lots of you have got your | 0:18:47 | 0:18:53 | |
decorations up. Some of you like to
start early and some of you just | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
before Christmas. As soon as the
tree goes up, I start eating Brazil | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
nuts. Nothing wrong with that. You
can't have an entire month of nuts. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:07 | |
It looks like Christmas has come
early. Good morning, Carol. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
It looks like Christmas has come
early. Good morning, Carol. Good | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
morning. Keep Christmas in December.
You see why businesses have to start | 0:19:13 | 0:19:19 | |
early. Look at the magnificent light
twinkling in the darkness on Regents | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
Street. London is a light with
Christmas lights. As indeed are at | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
many other towns and villages in the
UK. The forecast for us all is | 0:19:28 | 0:19:34 | |
fairly cloudy and mild, and some
will see some rain at times. If we | 0:19:34 | 0:19:40 | |
start looking around the country at
nine o'clock this morning, we have | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
some rain across northern England
and Scotland, and a little dry | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
weather to start with as well. It is
very mild at the moment. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
Temperatures will go up quite high
for the time of year. We have rain | 0:19:52 | 0:19:58 | |
from the west moving east through
the course of the day. So the dry | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
weather will be across central and
eastern areas with cloud at times. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
We might see a little drizzle coming
out of the cloud at times and | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
brightness in the shelter of the
hills. By the time we get to three | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
o'clock in the afternoon we will
have the rain moving north across | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
Scotland. Further south into
northern England we will have rain | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
crossing the Pennines. For
north-east England you will have | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
some bright skies and then for the
Midlands there is rain across the | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
north Midlands, nothing very heavy,
four East Anglia, Essex, Kent, the | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
Isle of Wight, a lot of cloud around
with limited brightness. To the | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
south-west of England, we have a
fair bit of cloud, the odd spot of | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
rain or drizzle coming out of that,
and we have rain across parts of | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
Wales as well, a lot where it is not
raining, and for Northern Ireland | 0:20:46 | 0:20:51 | |
one or two showers and a little
brightness across the north of | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
Northern Ireland. It is unseasonably
mild today. As we move through the | 0:20:55 | 0:21:02 | |
evening in overnight we have
distinctive band of rain. One in the | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
north of Scotland will be heavy and
persistent with winter is across the | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
Northern Isles. And here the wind
will strengthen gusting to gales or | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
possibly even severe gales. But a
mild night for most of us. The final | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
for Scotland, the north-east, in
cold conditions. But for the rest of | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
us, double figures. As we head on
into tomorrow, more rain in the | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
north and west. Some of it will be
heavy and persistent, particularly | 0:21:26 | 0:21:32 | |
so across, for example, Cumbrian
Fels, Snowdonia. The further east, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
it will be dry. This rain is heading
towards the east. Still mild for | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
many but cooler conditions spreading
across into northern England and | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Northern Ireland. And then by the
time we get to Thursday we have the | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
rain clearing away from the
south-east, a new band will come in | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
across the south-west and we also
have a band across the northern half | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
of Scotland, which will turn wintry
later on in the day as it is going | 0:21:56 | 0:22:01 | |
to be colder. In between, there will
be some dry weather, and just south | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
by then that looks like it is
hanging onto the milder conditions. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
For the rest of us, temperatures
will be tumbling. It is lovely here | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
this morning, I must say. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
will be tumbling. It is lovely here
this morning, I must say. Isn't it | 0:22:13 | 0:22:13 | |
lovely, I must say. Thank you. Let's
move to one of the main stories this | 0:22:13 | 0:22:25 | |
morning, Zimbabwe. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
His party want to impeach him
and the military are on the streets | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
of the capital, Harare,
but despite this, Robert Mugabe | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
remains the President of Zimbabwe. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
So what now for the man who has
ruled the country for 37 years? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
Gilbert Nyambabvu is editor
of the news website, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
New Zimbabwe, and he joins us now. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Good morning and thank you very much
for joining us. It has been an | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
extraordinary couple of days. So
what will happen? There is talk of | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
impeachment. Is it likely to start
happening today? The more important | 0:22:48 | 0:22:53 | |
development overnight, contact has
been initiated between the two | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
principal players in this farcical
drama. Mugabe spoke with the former | 0:22:56 | 0:23:03 | |
vice president, thought to be behind
the coup. And he is expected to be | 0:23:03 | 0:23:09 | |
continuing negotiations with Mugabe
so I expect that should lead to a | 0:23:09 | 0:23:14 | |
resolution of the crisis one way or
another. In terms of the possibility | 0:23:14 | 0:23:20 | |
of impeachment, what sort of process
would that take, and where would | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
that lead Robert Mugabe to
eventually beat, maybe in prison, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
would he leave Zimbabwe, what do you
think? It is not easy for the ruling | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
party. What will have to happen is
the process be initiated this | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
morning. A committee of parliament
will be chosen to discuss it. Then, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
if the committee thinks there are
grounds for impeachment, it comes | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
back to a joint sitting of the
Senate and they also have an | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
assembly to carry through the
impeachment, after which Mugabe | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
won't be president. And then what
happens after that is the vice | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
president takes over for a period of
up to 90 days in which time the | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
ruling party must advise the Speaker
of who their new leader is. Could | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
Robert Mugabe ignore the process,
like he has ignored the calls to | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
step down? It is difficult for him
to ignore the impeachment process | 0:24:11 | 0:24:17 | |
but I am not sure how sincere the
ruling party are on the impeachment | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
process. I suspect they are using
that to force him to negotiate. The | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
impeachment is not the easiest route
for the ruling party. They will have | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
to make serious concessions to the
opposition. They need the support of | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
the opposition to carry through. Not
all of these MPs support what is | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
going on. Some of the concessions
the opposition demand include | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
political reforms to ensure free and
fair elections and ZANU-PF will | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
never reform itself out of power.
They also demanded a coalition | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
government. ZANU-PF does not want
that. My sense is the impeachment | 0:24:52 | 0:24:59 | |
process is to force Mugabe to come
to an agreement in this process | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
which started with Mugabe. How much
support do you think there is in | 0:25:02 | 0:25:07 | |
Zimbabwe for Robert Mugabe? In terms
of the ordinary people? Yes. He | 0:25:07 | 0:25:13 | |
would have got a sense of that on
Saturday. Generally, Zimbabwean clue | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
that won him to go. His spokesperson
said something important with the | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
Financial Times -- Zimbabweans want
him to go. It is not on the will of | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
the people but with those who wield
power and those who wield power at | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
the moment the military. In his
view, he really doesn't care what | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
people think, that is why he can't
ignore is ignored the demonstration | 0:25:34 | 0:25:40 | |
on Saturday. There is no sign of
Grace Mugabe? No, it is believed it | 0:25:40 | 0:25:47 | |
is at the family private home. OK.
And how key is what happens to her | 0:25:47 | 0:25:53 | |
to the future of Zimbabwe? I think
it is important, Mugabe will seek | 0:25:53 | 0:26:02 | |
guarantees for her safety, if he
decides to set down, which I don't | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
expect he will. He has always said
he will retire the Mugabe way, which | 0:26:05 | 0:26:10 | |
means going out in glory, in a
dignified way. So he will try to | 0:26:10 | 0:26:15 | |
ensure that he is allowed to
continuing office until the ZANU-PF | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
congress in December, which might
choose a new leader, allowing him to | 0:26:19 | 0:26:24 | |
finish his term, which should end
next year during the elections. So | 0:26:24 | 0:26:29 | |
than a contest will be held. It
sounds as you say unlikely he will | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
spend any time in jail eventually
because if he goes there will have | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
to be a deal signed that will allow
him to leave with his head held | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
high? Exactly, he will try avoid any
of this. Good to talk to you, thank | 0:26:42 | 0:26:48 | |
you for talking to us. Thank you for
having me. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |

We'll bring you all the latest
news and sport in a moment, | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
but also on Breakfast this morning: | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
We'll be looking at why so many
older people feel excluded | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
from the high street and why
more seating could help | 0:30:43 | 0:30:45 | |
tackle the problem. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:46 | |
The government has promised to scrap
tampon tax next year. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
But with the budget looming,
we'll discuss whether the move goes | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
far enough to end
so-called period poverty. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
She has a big voice
and she's using it | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
to tackle big issues. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
Paloma Faith will be here to tell us
how she's using music to explore | 0:31:07 | 0:31:11 | |
modern society and politics. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:15 | |
Good morning. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:24 | |
to reason they look set to offer the
EU are bigger divorce and returned | 0:31:24 | 0:31:29 | |
the trade talks. The BBC understands
the move was given a go-ahead at a | 0:31:29 | 0:31:33 | |
meeting of senior Cabinet ministers.
The Prime Minister is acted to put | 0:31:33 | 0:31:38 | |
the offer to the EU later this week,
Britain told it must make more | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
progress if talks are to move on to
the next phase. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
Robert Mugabe faces being impeached
after refusing to step down | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
as President of Zimbabwe. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:49 | |
The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF,
could ask parliament to begin | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
the process today. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:53 | |
The 93-year old, who
remains under armed guard | 0:31:53 | 0:31:57 | |
in the Presidential palace,
is accused of allowing his wife | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
to usurp power and many believe
he is now incapable of governing. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
Last night, the military
suggested a plan was emerging | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
for the transfer of power. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:13 | |
We have made further consultation
with the President to agree on the | 0:32:13 | 0:32:19 | |
roadmap in the prevailing situation
in the country. The Zimbabwe defence | 0:32:19 | 0:32:26 | |
and security services are encouraged
by new developments which include | 0:32:26 | 0:32:31 | |
conduct between the President and
the former vice president, Emmerson | 0:32:31 | 0:32:43 | |
Mnangagwa, who is expected in the
country shortly. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:48 | |
A scheme aimed at detecting lung
cancer, earlier is to be extended | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
to thousands more patients. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
NHS England says the use of mobile
scanners at supermarkets | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
and shopping centres
in Greater Manchester proved | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
so successful, similar schemes
will now be rolled out to other | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
parts of the country. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:01 | |
There is an increase in cages found
at stage one or two when the disease | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
is more easily treated. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:06 | |
President Trump has re-declared
North Korea as a state sponsor | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
of terrorism - nine years
after it was removed from the list. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
Mr Trump said the move
would trigger very large | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
additional sanctions,
which will be announced | 0:33:15 | 0:33:16 | |
in the future. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:17 | |
He blamed the country's nuclear
programme, as well as its support | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
for what he called "international
acts of terrorism". | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
South Korea has welcomed the move. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
The Argentine Navy says noises
picked up by two ships | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
in the South Atlantic on their sonar
equipment are not coming | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
from a missing Argentine submarine. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
The sub - with 44 crew members
on board - disappeared six days ago | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
off the coast of Argentina. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:38 | |
The United States has sent
specialist underwater rescue | 0:33:38 | 0:33:40 | |
equipment to help with the search,
which has been hampered | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
by heavy winds. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:52 | |
Paul Hollywood has accused his
former Bake Off colleagues including | 0:33:52 | 0:33:59 | |
Mary Berry of abandoning the show.
She and Mel and Sue that the | 0:33:59 | 0:34:04 | |
programme when it moved to Channel
4. He says the criticism he received | 0:34:04 | 0:34:08 | |
was not fun and that he felt he
became the most hated man in the | 0:34:08 | 0:34:13 | |
country. There you go. That brings
you up-to-date with Bake Off news. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:23 | |
The latest Bake Off news. If you
didn't want to be the most hated man | 0:34:23 | 0:34:27 | |
in the country, would you criticise
Mary Barry? Would you do that? Let's | 0:34:27 | 0:34:32 | |
not go there. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
Let's talk about Mike Ashley
instead. His time as owner of | 0:34:35 | 0:34:42 | |
Newcastle United could in fact be
coming to an end. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
A financial firm led
by British businesswoman | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
Amanda Staveley has
launched a takeover bid | 0:34:48 | 0:34:51 | |
in the region of £300 million. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
Newcastle are yet to comment
publicly on the news. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
Brighton twice came from behind
to deny Stoke all three points | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
at the Amex Stadium
in the Premier League last night. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
Stoke took the lead
through Choupo-Moting - | 0:35:01 | 0:35:03 | |
his third goal of the season. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
Jose Izquierdo got the final goal
of the night to earn Chris Hughton's | 0:35:06 | 0:35:10 | |
side a point - Brighton are now
unbeaten in five league matches. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:19 | |
I would have liked more, certainly,
it probably the overall performance | 0:35:19 | 0:35:23 | |
wasn't good enough to get all three
points and I thought we showed great | 0:35:23 | 0:35:28 | |
credit and character to come back
twice from being behind the Wallaby | 0:35:28 | 0:35:34 | |
overall, I think the draw was a fair
result. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
West Bromwich Albion are looking
for a new manager after sacking Tony | 0:35:36 | 0:35:40 | |
Pulis. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:41 | |
A 4-nil home defeat to Chelsea
left the club one point | 0:35:41 | 0:35:44 | |
above the relegation zone and ended
Pulis's reign after less than three | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
years in charge. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:48 | |
He is the fifth Premier League
manager to be dismissed this season. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
Gary Megson has been put
in temporary charge. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
Australia head coach Michael Cheika
is being investigated | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
for his comments and conduct
during Saturday's match | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
against England at Twickenham. | 0:35:58 | 0:35:59 | |
The disciplinary authorities
are investigating | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
with an update expected later. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
Cheika reacted strongly to a series
of decisions that went | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
against his side in the 30 points
to 6 defeat, while he also | 0:36:07 | 0:36:11 | |
was involved in an exchange
with a supporter. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:15 | |
Staying with rugby union
and Sarah Hunter will win her | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
hundredth cap for
England women later. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
She'll lead the Red Roses out
against Canada for the second match | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
in their autumn series. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:23 | |
The 2014 World Cup winner was named
World Player of the Year last year. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:33 | |
David Haye's heavyweight rematch
with Tony Bellew has been postponed | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
after a freak training accident. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
The fight was due to
take place next month, | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
but Haye slipped during a stair
conditioning session | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
and tore his bicep when he grabbed
a bannister to stop himself falling. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
He's had surgery and it's now hoped
the fight will go ahead next | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
March or May. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:56 | |
After retiring from football, former
Liverpool and Manchester United | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
striker Michael Owen
turned his attention horse racing. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
And ownership in particular. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:02 | |
(OOV) But now for the first time
he'll compete as a jockey - | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
his first race will be at Ascot
in aid of the Prince's Countryside | 0:37:06 | 0:37:12 | |
Fund. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:13 | |
Owen will be the only
novice in the race. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
He first sat on a horse less
than a year ago and started riding | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
for the first time in April. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:25 | |
We tried to put the on the nice
horses to start with, one is that | 0:37:25 | 0:37:30 | |
aren't keen spin and spin around so
I've had a gentle introduction but | 0:37:30 | 0:37:34 | |
there is no hiding place, you have
to go and do it and the ups and | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
downs, the weight loss, getting
dumped on the floor, the pain. It's | 0:37:38 | 0:37:43 | |
all been a massive learning curve
and way harder than I thought. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:48 | |
He must have known how hard it was
going to be. Anybody knows that | 0:37:48 | 0:37:53 | |
jockeys are about as tough as boxes,
they had to be incredibly tough. | 0:37:53 | 0:38:03 | |
Just one year he has done that. Have
you ever been on one of those fake | 0:38:03 | 0:38:08 | |
bourse machines? We always send
Michael Rushall to go there when | 0:38:08 | 0:38:13 | |
that happens. Have you done that? I
tried it but it looked ridiculous. I | 0:38:13 | 0:38:19 | |
am not built to be a jockey. Me
neither. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:24 | |
From cleaners to security guards,
more than 3 million people | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
in the UK are outsourced
to companies rather than being | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
employed directly by them. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:30 | |
That can mean less generous
pensions, as well as holiday | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
and sick pay. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:34 | |
But a group of staff
are seeking a landmark tribunal | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
ruling that they have the right
to negotiate better terms | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
and conditions at the
university where they work. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
It could have wide implications
for other outsourced workers. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
Let's discuss this with
Hannah Reed who works | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
in employment rights at the TUC. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:52 | |
They give are joining us. What
exactly is the problem? There is a | 0:38:52 | 0:39:00 | |
real concern. When we go into the
workplace we see different | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
colleagues and we think we are all
employed by the same organisation | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
that many will have been outsourced
and they will often be receiving | 0:39:06 | 0:39:11 | |
less pay, losing out on sick pay and
most importantly, they will not have | 0:39:11 | 0:39:17 | |
a say over how their working lives
are organised. This case really | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
looks at ensuring that everybody in
the workplace has a fair deal, | 0:39:20 | 0:39:26 | |
everybody gets the same decent pay
and conditions. You talk about being | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |
outsourced. Most of them all many of
them will be employed by an agency | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
is why does the agency not have
responsibility for them? They may be | 0:39:35 | 0:39:40 | |
employed by an agency also this
company but the real concern is a | 0:39:40 | 0:39:45 | |
lot of employers choose to
outsourced workers in order to cut | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
back on wages and cut back on pay
and conditions so these individuals | 0:39:48 | 0:39:52 | |
who might have previously been
directly employed by the same | 0:39:52 | 0:39:56 | |
employer will find they are being
paid less per hour and losing out on | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
holiday pay and sick pay. Let's get
back to the agency thing. Why are | 0:40:00 | 0:40:06 | |
the agencies not pay in holiday pay?
They might well be paying minimum | 0:40:06 | 0:40:12 | |
standards that many outsourced
workers don't receive the going rate | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
for the job. Many individuals who
are outsourced workers are women, | 0:40:16 | 0:40:23 | |
BME workers who are already
disadvantaged. What's the TUC | 0:40:23 | 0:40:28 | |
believes is that all working people
should receive the going rate for | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
the job. I know they are pursuing
this. How would it work the UN and | 0:40:31 | 0:40:39 | |
ideal world? Would you judge on
everybody in the same building? How | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
would you begin to judge things? The
TUC believes the government should | 0:40:43 | 0:40:51 | |
bring together unions and employers
to agree on what the going rate | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
should be to make sure there was a
level playing field and make sure | 0:40:56 | 0:41:01 | |
whether you are employed directly by
a company or by a service company or | 0:41:01 | 0:41:06 | |
an agency, you receive that going
rate of pay. We believe it's | 0:41:06 | 0:41:11 | |
important that all individuals
whether they are employed to an | 0:41:11 | 0:41:13 | |
agency or a service company, they
should have a voice in the workplace | 0:41:13 | 0:41:18 | |
and the best voice you can get in
the workplace is having a trade | 0:41:18 | 0:41:22 | |
union representing you. With the
university, if they were to go on | 0:41:22 | 0:41:30 | |
and win their case, would there be
widespread changes? Means employers | 0:41:30 | 0:41:36 | |
would consider thinking twice and
keep staff directly employed that it | 0:41:36 | 0:41:45 | |
could mean the main employers, the
employers at the top of the chain, | 0:41:45 | 0:41:50 | |
would have a responsibility to
ensure that whenever they outsource | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
their staff, those staff receive a
fair deal but also to ensure they | 0:41:52 | 0:41:58 | |
are getting paid the rate for the
job. We talk about holiday pay and | 0:41:58 | 0:42:05 | |
pensions. Some of these people might
have missed out on all of those | 0:42:05 | 0:42:11 | |
pensions, holiday pay. What happens
to that? This case particularly | 0:42:11 | 0:42:15 | |
involving cleaners, when cleaning
contractor outsourced, individuals | 0:42:15 | 0:42:21 | |
receive lower rates of pay. What we
are arguing is there should be a | 0:42:21 | 0:42:27 | |
level playing field for everyone.
Thank you for your time and | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
practised. Not many 91 -year-olds
are asked to help with dancing, | 0:42:32 | 0:42:41 | |
particularly when they describe
their owners dancing. Next year is | 0:42:41 | 0:42:45 | |
the 70th anniversary of the SS
Empire Windrush, bringing the first | 0:42:45 | 0:42:52 | |
wave of post-war Caribbean
immigrants to the UK Colin Patterson | 0:42:52 | 0:43:00 | |
has been to rehearsals to find out
more. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:04 | |
The Empire Windrush brings to
Britain many Jamaicans. They served | 0:43:04 | 0:43:08 | |
this country well. History being
turned into dance. Next year as the | 0:43:08 | 0:43:20 | |
70th anniversary of the Empire
Windrush bringing the first large | 0:43:20 | 0:43:24 | |
group of post-war Caribbean
immigrants to the UK. Swing, swing. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:28 | |
Don't go too soon. Sharon Watson is
the artistic dance director of dance | 0:43:28 | 0:43:33 | |
company in Leeds, inspired by her
own mother's journey from Jamaica in | 0:43:33 | 0:43:37 | |
1960s and decided to create a piece
about Empire Windrush. It resonates | 0:43:37 | 0:43:44 | |
without family in leaving a home and
place. Relocating somewhere new, | 0:43:44 | 0:43:48 | |
somewhere different. I picked her
brain considerably. Her mum had come | 0:43:48 | 0:43:54 | |
along to see the work in progress
and it was bringing back memories of | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
own arrival in the UK. You could see
icicles hanging down from the | 0:43:58 | 0:44:04 | |
windows which you don't see now. I
had a big coat on a big boat and we | 0:44:04 | 0:44:11 | |
had never seen them before. It was a
bit unusual for me. Members of Leeds | 0:44:11 | 0:44:18 | |
Caribbean community had also been
invited Sydney could give feedback | 0:44:18 | 0:44:20 | |
based on their own voyages. That
Windrush, it reminds me so much, | 0:44:20 | 0:44:29 | |
like sardines packed in that boat.
And they are thrilled the story will | 0:44:29 | 0:44:34 | |
be on stage next February. When the
younger people come and see what's | 0:44:34 | 0:44:39 | |
going on, they understand what the
old ladies and old gentleman had to | 0:44:39 | 0:44:44 | |
go through. So this is Leeds,
1940... 1948. Phoenix has also made | 0:44:44 | 0:44:52 | |
an old discovery they hope they can
show. Alfred Gardiner is 91, lives | 0:44:52 | 0:44:58 | |
in Leeds and came over on Windrush.
His agreed to share his memories to | 0:44:58 | 0:45:03 | |
help shape the production. He was a
mechanic in the RAF in Britain | 0:45:03 | 0:45:07 | |
during the Second World War and a
lack of work at home made him want | 0:45:07 | 0:45:11 | |
to come back. In Jamaica at the
time, if you haven't got a job, you | 0:45:11 | 0:45:17 | |
are a nobody. What was it like on
Windrush? We had six ex- army boys | 0:45:17 | 0:45:25 | |
who want to commandeer our money.
Between us, we got them on the boat. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:30 | |
We were busy hiding the money. Three
men in a toilet hiding. That is what | 0:45:30 | 0:45:37 | |
happened. What can I say, it's part
of history now. It is history. And | 0:45:37 | 0:45:44 | |
70 years on, Alford, who worked in
factories and had nine children, | 0:45:44 | 0:45:50 | |
thinks getting on Windrush was a
great decision. I have family, | 0:45:50 | 0:45:55 | |
music. I support. After them three
things, good luck for everything | 0:45:55 | 0:46:04 | |
else. You strike me as a man who has
enjoyed life. And I am still | 0:46:04 | 0:46:08 | |
enjoying it. And I will always be
enjoying it. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:15 | |
10am and I will be back in half an
hour. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:17 | |
Oh, what a charming man. Yeah. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
Windrush: Movement of
The People will premiere | 0:46:21 | 0:46:23 | |
at the West Yorkshire Playhouse
in February, before | 0:46:23 | 0:46:25 | |
touring the country. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:27 | |
Shall we find out about the weather?
Carol is looking festive. It might | 0:46:27 | 0:46:33 | |
be cold. | 0:46:33 | 0:46:33 | |
Carol is looking festive. It might
be cold. It might indeed. Today, it | 0:46:33 | 0:46:37 | |
is mild. Look at this display of
Christmas lights, the Spirit of | 0:46:37 | 0:46:44 | |
Christmas on Regents Street, which
comprise of 300,000 LED lights, they | 0:46:44 | 0:46:48 | |
are or nor mind. It is mild to start
the day across many areas. If we go | 0:46:48 | 0:46:53 | |
from Northern Ireland over to
England - Scotland borders, even | 0:46:53 | 0:46:58 | |
south of that, roughly between ten
and 14 degrees at the moment. It is | 0:46:58 | 0:47:04 | |
cold in Scotland. Generally, for
most of us, the forecast is a mild | 0:47:04 | 0:47:09 | |
one, it is fairly cloudy and there
is also some rain in the forecast. | 0:47:09 | 0:47:14 | |
So, the rain at the moment is across
Scotland and northern England. A lot | 0:47:14 | 0:47:18 | |
of dry weather currently. However,
we have another band of rain which | 0:47:18 | 0:47:22 | |
is going to swing in from the west
through the course of the day. So, | 0:47:22 | 0:47:27 | |
the further east that you are, it
will be drier. Even as we head into | 0:47:27 | 0:47:31 | |
the afternoon, we have a move north
across Scotland, so the Central | 0:47:31 | 0:47:35 | |
Lowlands, into the Highlands and the
Grampians. South of that, cloudy and | 0:47:35 | 0:47:39 | |
dry and very mild with temperatures
in double figures. South across | 0:47:39 | 0:47:44 | |
northern England, fairly cloudy,
rain across the Pennines. North-east | 0:47:44 | 0:47:48 | |
of England have something bright.
And we have rain in parts of the | 0:47:48 | 0:47:52 | |
north Midlands. In East Anglia,
Essex, Kent, down to the Isle of | 0:47:52 | 0:47:57 | |
Wight, a lot of cloud, limited
brightness and the cloud for example | 0:47:57 | 0:48:01 | |
in the south-west of England is
thick enough for the odd spot of | 0:48:01 | 0:48:05 | |
rain but nothing too heavy. Moving
into Wales, more rain, the north | 0:48:05 | 0:48:10 | |
hanging on to some cloud, with
breaks in the sheltered hills, and | 0:48:10 | 0:48:14 | |
for Northern Ireland, rain to the
south of Northern Ireland, not | 0:48:14 | 0:48:17 | |
immune to some showers, a little
brightness in the north of Northern | 0:48:17 | 0:48:20 | |
Ireland. Through the course of the
evening and overnight there are two | 0:48:20 | 0:48:25 | |
distinctive band of rain you can see
on the charts. The first across the | 0:48:25 | 0:48:28 | |
north of Scotland is likely to be
heavy and persistent. And across the | 0:48:28 | 0:48:32 | |
Northern Isles, where it will be
cold, we are looking at wintry | 0:48:32 | 0:48:35 | |
showers. For the rest of us, it is
going to be another mild night, | 0:48:35 | 0:48:40 | |
unseasonably so, with temperatures
in double figures. Then as we head | 0:48:40 | 0:48:45 | |
into tomorrow, increasingly
tomorrow, the wind is going to | 0:48:45 | 0:48:48 | |
strengthen, especially in the west,
with Gusts to gale force. Windy in | 0:48:48 | 0:48:53 | |
southern counties as well, and more
rain coming in across the north and | 0:48:53 | 0:48:57 | |
the west, some of which will be
heavy and persistent, particularly | 0:48:57 | 0:49:02 | |
across Snowdonia, the Cumbrian Fels,
and drifting eastward. Tomorrow, | 0:49:02 | 0:49:05 | |
London might hit 15 Celsius. Then as
we head into Thursday, the rain will | 0:49:05 | 0:49:10 | |
clear from the south-east, then
later in the day we've got more rain | 0:49:10 | 0:49:14 | |
coming in across the south-west, and
we've also got rain and snow across | 0:49:14 | 0:49:18 | |
the northern half of Scotland,
primarily the Grampians and the | 0:49:18 | 0:49:22 | |
Highlands, and some of that snow
will get down to road level. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:25 | |
Something to bear in mind if you are
travelling. Then the cooler air will | 0:49:25 | 0:49:29 | |
filter in that bit further south as
well. Did you know that Regents | 0:49:29 | 0:49:35 | |
Street was the first St to actually
have festive Christmas lights? That | 0:49:35 | 0:49:39 | |
was way back in 1954. Dan, did you
switch them on? Oh, what? | 0:49:39 | 0:49:44 | |
(LAUGHTER).. Carol. Hang on a
minute! That was unnecessary. I have | 0:49:44 | 0:49:54 | |
been really nice this week. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
minute! That was unnecessary. I have
been really nice this week. That was | 0:49:56 | 0:49:57 | |
unexpected, wasn't it? She has been
working on that for a while, you | 0:49:57 | 0:50:02 | |
ratbag. Thank you very much indeed.
Excellent, they would have looked | 0:50:02 | 0:50:06 | |
different in 1954. Thank you. I was
going to chat to Carol, but I can't | 0:50:06 | 0:50:13 | |
be bothered any more. We are talking
about Christmas decorations. Yes. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:19 | |
And we mentioned it last week, when
did they go up in your house? You | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
have to wait till December. At least
December? Yes. Lots of people have | 0:50:23 | 0:50:28 | |
gone very early. I know. That was
the Christmas decoration falling | 0:50:28 | 0:50:33 | |
down in the background. They don't
go up in the studio and to two weeks | 0:50:33 | 0:50:38 | |
before Christmas.
We will get some comments on this in | 0:50:38 | 0:50:41 | |
a moment. Lots of people have got in
contact to say when it is right, | 0:50:41 | 0:50:45 | |
wrong and playing insane. Yes, more
on that later. First of all, Steph | 0:50:45 | 0:50:50 | |
is talking about unpaid work
experience. Lots of discussion about | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
this. Did you do work experience?
Yes, the BBC World Service Latin | 0:50:53 | 0:50:59 | |
American section. It led you to a
great job. Dan? I put floppy disks | 0:50:59 | 0:51:06 | |
in the olden days into piles of ten.
That was my work experience. Who did | 0:51:06 | 0:51:12 | |
you work for? Packaging company near
Gatwick airport. And it has served | 0:51:12 | 0:51:17 | |
you well, clearly. Yes, thank you.
Good morning. Work experience is a | 0:51:17 | 0:51:24 | |
great way of bridging the gap
between what you do at school and | 0:51:24 | 0:51:28 | |
what he might do for a living and
for business it is good to connect | 0:51:28 | 0:51:32 | |
with talent. There has been some
criticism about it with some | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
employers exploiting these young
people who come and work for them. | 0:51:35 | 0:51:38 | |
What can be done to make sure this
doesn't happen? | 0:51:38 | 0:51:41 | |
I'm joined by businesswoman
Sherry Coutu, who wants | 0:51:41 | 0:51:43 | |
to change that. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:47 | |
Good morning. What is it you want to
do? I want to make it really easy | 0:51:47 | 0:51:52 | |
for all young children between 16
and 18 to find great work experience | 0:51:52 | 0:51:56 | |
with small companies and large
companies and medium-sized | 0:51:56 | 0:51:59 | |
companies. And there is research
that shows 140 hours of work | 0:51:59 | 0:52:04 | |
experience between 16 and 18 makes
it much easier to think about jobs | 0:52:04 | 0:52:09 | |
they will hold or create later on in
life. And with the world going very | 0:52:09 | 0:52:14 | |
quickly, bringing it all together in
a single place, making it easier for | 0:52:14 | 0:52:18 | |
the young person, on a mobile phone,
is a dream. This is a charity | 0:52:18 | 0:52:23 | |
launch, so what are the issues with
work experience? It is a great way | 0:52:23 | 0:52:28 | |
to solve the skills gap to have
young people getting skills early | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
on, but many young people struggle
to get work experience. Often they | 0:52:31 | 0:52:36 | |
will go to companies at a no. But
there are 5 million companies in the | 0:52:36 | 0:52:40 | |
UK. -- that they know. It is hard if
you don't know them or your teacher | 0:52:40 | 0:52:45 | |
doesn't know them and you don't know
where to look. So you go to the | 0:52:45 | 0:52:49 | |
large ones. 100% of new jobs come
from small and medium-size companies | 0:52:49 | 0:52:53 | |
in the UK. If you put them into a
single place and they like using | 0:52:53 | 0:52:57 | |
phones, so we put it on the phone,
and you just make it easy so with a | 0:52:57 | 0:53:01 | |
couple of taps you can say, I am
interested in that, so you get | 0:53:01 | 0:53:07 | |
recommendation engines to say, well,
have you thought of this one, or | 0:53:07 | 0:53:10 | |
this one? So the same thing that an
engaged parent or teacher can do, | 0:53:10 | 0:53:14 | |
but we go further afield than what
you would with your own contacts. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:19 | |
Essentially it is to help young
people find work experience. What | 0:53:19 | 0:53:23 | |
about the employers' side of it, how
you can make sure they will provide | 0:53:23 | 0:53:27 | |
good work experience for people?
Yes, good enough work experience - | 0:53:27 | 0:53:33 | |
the children rate the work
experience that they have and if you | 0:53:33 | 0:53:36 | |
provide not great work experience
then you know what to do better. We | 0:53:36 | 0:53:39 | |
provide The Briefing and everything.
So these work experience types for | 0:53:39 | 0:53:43 | |
children this age, you know, try a
project, there are lots of how to | 0:53:43 | 0:53:49 | |
guides so that the business leaders
know confident in what they are | 0:53:49 | 0:53:53 | |
doing. So you think, will this be
meaningful, will it make a | 0:53:53 | 0:53:58 | |
difference? Everyone wants to make a
difference. If you run a small | 0:53:58 | 0:54:02 | |
company, you love the company, so it
provides great experience. It just | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
gives them role models that allows
them to know what they need to do. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:10 | |
What is the definition of meaningful
work experience, what would you say? | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
I think one where the young person
knows they made contribution and for | 0:54:14 | 0:54:19 | |
the business I don't want someone
just filing discs like you said, I | 0:54:19 | 0:54:24 | |
would rather a project that you know
will help the company. So to be | 0:54:24 | 0:54:28 | |
about work experience, you know,
what can we do that would be great | 0:54:28 | 0:54:33 | |
for the young person? Have them on
the Monday, present a project on | 0:54:33 | 0:54:39 | |
Friday, and that is a deal with a
beginning, middle and end. That can | 0:54:39 | 0:54:43 | |
be a lot of work and it can be tough
to get people responsibility if they | 0:54:43 | 0:54:47 | |
are only teenagers. I don't think it
is tough. There is a lot of things | 0:54:47 | 0:54:51 | |
we can all do. And we know that the
single biggest issue we have a small | 0:54:51 | 0:54:56 | |
business is the talent coming in the
door will stop they don't really | 0:54:56 | 0:54:59 | |
know how to work. If I have someone
coming in from 18 who has had a | 0:54:59 | 0:55:04 | |
summer job and an Easter job and
another one and I know they are far | 0:55:04 | 0:55:08 | |
more thoughtful and they feel
comfortable about what they will do. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:11 | |
I think we all need to lean in and
make a difference here. There is one | 0:55:11 | 0:55:16 | |
point a million children who are 16,
17 or 18, -- 1.8 million people. The | 0:55:16 | 0:55:23 | |
world is changing really fast. So
without helping... I think about | 0:55:23 | 0:55:28 | |
Dunkirk, the move. When you see all
of the soldiers on the beach and you | 0:55:28 | 0:55:32 | |
think, there is no way we can help
them all. But actually what they did | 0:55:32 | 0:55:36 | |
is they got all of the people on the
small boats to come across the | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
Channel and pick them up. To me,
that is the analogy. Look at the | 0:55:40 | 0:55:44 | |
children on the beach. Let's help
them make the bridge into the world | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
of work a lot more easily.
Fascinating. I wish we had more | 0:55:47 | 0:55:50 | |
time. That is it for now. That was
really interesting. Thank you. And | 0:55:50 | 0:55:55 | |
good advice. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:55 | |
You're watching And good advice. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:57 | |

Still to come this morning: | 0:56:05 | 0:56:06 | |
They've entertained fans for almost
a century and the Pope | 0:56:06 | 0:56:09 | |
and Whoopi Goldberg
are honorary members. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:10 | |
We'll be talking extreme
stunts and slam dunks | 0:56:10 | 0:56:13 | |
with the Harlem Globetrotters
a little later. | 0:56:13 | 0:59:35 | |
until 10am and I will be

Hello - this is Breakfast,
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 1:00:09 | 1:00:12 | |
Theresa May gets the backing
of her cabinet to offer | 1:00:12 | 1:00:14 | |
a bigger Brexit payout. | 1:00:14 | 1:00:25 | |
Senior ministers have agreed that
Britain should offer | 1:00:25 | 1:00:28 | |
more money to the EU, | 1:00:28 | 1:00:30 | |
1:00:28 | 1:00:30 | ||
if it clears the path for trade
talks to begin. | 1:00:30 | 1:00:32 | |
But the Prime Minister is facing
anger from some of her own MPs | 1:00:32 | 1:00:36 | |
who are accusing the EU
of holding the UK to ransom. | 1:00:36 | 1:00:44 | |
Good morning - it's Tuesday
the 21st of November. | 1:00:44 | 1:00:49 | |
Zimbabwe's parliament prepares
to take legal action to force | 1:00:49 | 1:00:52 | |
Robert Mugabe from power. | 1:00:52 | 1:00:54 | |
Early screening for lung cancer. | 1:00:54 | 1:00:56 | |
Doctors say a trial using mobile
scanners in supermarket car parks | 1:00:56 | 1:00:59 | |
has proved a huge success. | 1:00:59 | 1:01:04 | |
I'll be speaking to the boss
of budget airline EasyJet - | 1:01:04 | 1:01:07 | |
about how they're swooping
in on struggling rivals, | 1:01:07 | 1:01:09 | |
after the airline
industry's tough summer. | 1:01:09 | 1:01:11 | |
In sport, could Mike Ashley's days
at Newcastle be numbered | 1:01:11 | 1:01:14 | |
following a formal bid
for the football club? | 1:01:14 | 1:01:19 | |
And it's only November,
but could getting in the festive | 1:01:19 | 1:01:24 | |
mood early help improve
your winter wellbeing? | 1:01:24 | 1:01:26 | |
It's like celebrating joy. | 1:01:26 | 1:01:28 | |
Like, I was so excited
to come to the Christmas | 1:01:28 | 1:01:31 | |
markets this evening. | 1:01:31 | 1:01:32 | |
Christmas trees up
at ridiculous times. | 1:01:32 | 1:01:36 | |
Everyone is waiting to put pictures
of Christmas trees on Facebook. | 1:01:36 | 1:01:41 | |
And Carol has the weather. | 1:01:41 | 1:01:45 | |
You can see the lights
of Regent Street behind me. | 1:01:45 | 1:01:52 | |
It is mild around across
many parts of the UK. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:57 | |
Except Scotland. | 1:01:57 | 1:01:58 | |
Some rain in the north and the West
so that further east you are, | 1:01:58 | 1:02:02 | |
the dry conditions are here but more
details in 15 minutes. | 1:02:02 | 1:02:05 | |
Good morning. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:06 | |
First, our main story. | 1:02:06 | 1:02:07 | |
Theresa May looks set to offer
the EU a bigger divorce bill payment | 1:02:07 | 1:02:11 | |
in return for starting
trade talks next month. | 1:02:11 | 1:02:19 | |
The BBC understands the move
was approved at a meeting of senior | 1:02:19 | 1:02:22 | |
cabinet ministers yesterday. | 1:02:22 | 1:02:23 | |
The UK had been told it
must make more progress | 1:02:23 | 1:02:26 | |
on its financial offer,
if talks are to move | 1:02:26 | 1:02:33 | |
into the next phase. | 1:02:33 | 1:02:34 | |
But political uncertainty
in Germany has complicated | 1:02:34 | 1:02:36 | |
the picture, with Chancellor Angela
Merkel saying she would prefer | 1:02:36 | 1:02:39 | |
new elections rather than lead
a minority government. | 1:02:39 | 1:02:45 | |
It follows a breakdown in coalition
talks, which plunged the country | 1:02:45 | 1:02:47 | |
into political crisis. | 1:02:47 | 1:02:50 | |
We can get the latest on that
from our correspondent, | 1:02:50 | 1:02:56 | |
Alex
Forsyth in Westminster. | 1:02:56 | 1:03:03 | |
Money has been a huge problem. Not
just for the EU which wanted more | 1:03:03 | 1:03:07 | |
but that the UK government. There
were different views about what the | 1:03:07 | 1:03:11 | |
UK needed to pay. To reason they got
some senior figures to thrash out | 1:03:11 | 1:03:17 | |
the government's negotiating
position. We understand there is | 1:03:17 | 1:03:21 | |
broad agreement they should up the
financial offer that only if the EU | 1:03:21 | 1:03:26 | |
agrees to start talking about trade
in transition when they next meet in | 1:03:26 | 1:03:30 | |
December. There is no figure that
has been mentioned in part of the | 1:03:30 | 1:03:35 | |
reason that is deliberate. To reason
they knows that if they pay a | 1:03:35 | 1:03:41 | |
certain amount, that might anger
some MPs in their own backbenchers, | 1:03:41 | 1:03:45 | |
particularly those who are adamant
we shouldn't be paying the European | 1:03:45 | 1:03:49 | |
Union too much. Getting the
agreement from Cabinet might up the | 1:03:49 | 1:03:56 | |
offer that there is this extra layer
of political instability coming from | 1:03:56 | 1:04:00 | |
Germany. That matters because
Germany is influential in the EU. It | 1:04:00 | 1:04:06 | |
is a chance the UK to push the
negotiations forward. Others feel | 1:04:06 | 1:04:14 | |
about the strength and stability of
Angela Merkel, it could affect | 1:04:14 | 1:04:17 | |
things. Damien McGuinness in Berlin.
The front page of the Times mentions | 1:04:17 | 1:04:23 | |
what Alex said. They say to reason
they needs to exploit Angela | 1:04:23 | 1:04:30 | |
Merkel's political weakness. What is
the situation in Germany? Right now, | 1:04:30 | 1:04:38 | |
it is political uncertainty. We are
in a state of gridlock. Talks broke | 1:04:38 | 1:04:44 | |
down to the new coalition
government. Today, the German | 1:04:44 | 1:04:49 | |
President is meeting with the
leaders of various parties to | 1:04:49 | 1:04:52 | |
persuade them to get back to the
table. A couple of different | 1:04:52 | 1:04:55 | |
options. Those potential partners,
it could be fresh elections or a | 1:04:55 | 1:05:02 | |
minority government. Neither option
is ideal. She does come out of both | 1:05:02 | 1:05:09 | |
options potentially weakened. The
Brexit connection is interesting. | 1:05:09 | 1:05:14 | |
There is no real direct link in a
sense. Brexit wasn't mentioned | 1:05:14 | 1:05:19 | |
during four weeks of coalition
negotiations between those for | 1:05:19 | 1:05:22 | |
parties. All politicians in Germany
are pretty united on saying that | 1:05:22 | 1:05:30 | |
actually it's Brussels that needs to
deal with the UK. In a sense, | 1:05:30 | 1:05:34 | |
whatever happens on German politics
-- in German politics doesn't have a | 1:05:34 | 1:05:39 | |
direct effect. As Alex mentioned,
what happens in the EU's largest | 1:05:39 | 1:05:46 | |
economy does have an impact on the
broader EU and if anything it could | 1:05:46 | 1:05:50 | |
make Britain's position worse
because it there is a weakened and | 1:05:50 | 1:05:55 | |
divided EU, it might make it more
difficult for Brussels to give | 1:05:55 | 1:05:59 | |
Britain a good deal. Damien, thank
you. We will discuss this further | 1:05:59 | 1:06:06 | |
with conservative MP Nigel Evans and
Green Party MP Caroline Lucas. | 1:06:06 | 1:06:14 | |
Robert Mugabe is faces
being impeached after refusing | 1:06:14 | 1:06:16 | |
to step down as
President of Zimbabwe. | 1:06:16 | 1:06:18 | |
The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF,
could ask parlimament to begin | 1:06:18 | 1:06:20 | |
the process today. | 1:06:20 | 1:06:21 | |
The 93-year old, who
remains under armed guard | 1:06:21 | 1:06:26 | |
in the Presidential palace,
is accused of allowing his wife | 1:06:26 | 1:06:28 | |
to usurp power and many believe
he is now incapable of governing. | 1:06:28 | 1:06:32 | |
Last night, the military
suggested a plan was emerging | 1:06:32 | 1:06:34 | |
for the transfer of power. | 1:06:34 | 1:06:35 | |
We have made further consultation
with the President to agree | 1:06:35 | 1:06:39 | |
on a roadmap on the prevailing
situation in the country. | 1:06:39 | 1:06:47 | |
The Zimbabwe defence and security
services are encouraged | 1:06:47 | 1:06:49 | |
by new developments which include | 1:06:49 | 1:06:53 | |
conduct between the President
and the former vice-president, | 1:06:53 | 1:07:02 | |
comrade Emmerson Mnangagwa,
who is expected in the country | 1:07:02 | 1:07:04 | |
shortly. | 1:07:04 | 1:07:07 | |
President Trump has announced
that the US is re-designating | 1:07:07 | 1:07:10 | |
North Korea a state sponsor
of terrorism, nine years | 1:07:10 | 1:07:12 | |
after it was removed from the list. | 1:07:12 | 1:07:14 | |
He said the move would
trigger very large | 1:07:14 | 1:07:16 | |
additional sanctions
to be announced later. | 1:07:16 | 1:07:26 | |
Washington's latest and most
anticipate -- anticipated salvo in | 1:07:26 | 1:07:30 | |
its war of words with North Korea,
Donald Trump expected to use | 1:07:30 | 1:07:34 | |
pressure on the regime. This will
impose further sanctions and | 1:07:34 | 1:07:39 | |
penalties on North Korea and related
persons and supports a maximum | 1:07:39 | 1:07:43 | |
pressure campaign to isolate the
murderous regime. The President says | 1:07:43 | 1:07:49 | |
this should have been done long time
ago. The is compelling. President | 1:07:49 | 1:07:59 | |
Trump is warning of what he calls
large sanctions. North Korea is | 1:07:59 | 1:08:05 | |
under crippling international
pressure and there is not much more | 1:08:05 | 1:08:08 | |
the US can do. We still hope for
diplomacy. The President's Secretary | 1:08:08 | 1:08:13 | |
of State is holding the door open,
talks are still the preferred way to | 1:08:13 | 1:08:17 | |
end the stand-off. More than two
months since North Korea last | 1:08:17 | 1:08:21 | |
carried out a missile test.
Authorities in South Korea say | 1:08:21 | 1:08:25 | |
further tests could come at any time
but they are not seeing any | 1:08:25 | 1:08:29 | |
tell-tale signs of preparation. This
morning, the government welcomed | 1:08:29 | 1:08:34 | |
Washington's latest move but it
would not halt efforts to get North | 1:08:34 | 1:08:39 | |
Korea back to the moment --
negotiating table. But the regime in | 1:08:39 | 1:08:44 | |
Pyongyang is keeping up its
rhetoric. It called Donald Trump and | 1:08:44 | 1:08:48 | |
old lunatic whose recent visit to
South Korea was all nonsense. Amid | 1:08:48 | 1:08:53 | |
this war of insults and pressure,
it's not clear how or if | 1:08:53 | 1:08:57 | |
negotiations can resume. | 1:08:57 | 1:09:05 | |
Staff employed by an outsourcing
company Cordant are asking | 1:09:05 | 1:09:07 | |
a tribunal to rule that they have
the right to negotiate better terms | 1:09:07 | 1:09:11 | |
and conditions with the University
of London where they work. | 1:09:11 | 1:09:13 | |
If the tribunal agrees
that the university should be | 1:09:13 | 1:09:16 | |
recognised as the workers' joint
employer it could have implications | 1:09:16 | 1:09:18 | |
for more than 3 million
people in the UK who work | 1:09:18 | 1:09:21 | |
for facilities companies. | 1:09:21 | 1:09:22 | |
The university says it doesn't
employ any of the staff. | 1:09:22 | 1:09:25 | |
Unions say the workers
have a strong case. | 1:09:25 | 1:09:27 | |
Young Persons Railcard which -- rail
cards are to be extended to 30 | 1:09:27 | 1:09:33 | |

announce a change in Wednesday's | 1:09:33 | 1:09:36 | |
Budget. | 1:09:36 | 1:09:47 | |
Things didn't go according to plan
for one unfortunate cameraman | 1:09:47 | 1:09:50 | |
waiting to capture the moment
the old Georgia Dome sports stadium | 1:09:50 | 1:09:53 | |
in Atlanta, Georgia was demolished. | 1:09:53 | 1:09:54 | |
He was all set up for the money
shot, when this happened. | 1:09:54 | 1:10:00 | |
You can't see it. At bus pulled up
right in front of the camera. | 1:10:09 | 1:10:15 | |
completely | 1:10:15 | 1:10:15 | |
obscuring his view. | 1:10:15 | 1:10:17 | |
Needless to say he wasn't too happy
- we've bleeped out what he says. | 1:10:17 | 1:10:22 | |
You got to question his positioning? | 1:10:22 | 1:10:26 | |
It's the end of an era
for the stadium, which during its 25 | 1:10:26 | 1:10:29 | |
year history, hosted two
Superbowls and an Olympics. | 1:10:29 | 1:10:34 | |
We had a stunning performance in
that Olympics. One solitary gold | 1:10:34 | 1:10:38 | |
medal. Steve Redgrave. Imagine that
poor cameraman as well. I think it | 1:10:38 | 1:10:47 | |
was a man, because you could hear
it. He had one chance to get the | 1:10:47 | 1:10:54 | |
shot. | 1:10:54 | 1:10:59 | |
A scheme aimed at detecting lung
cancer earlier is to be extended | 1:10:59 | 1:11:02 | |
to thousands more patients. | 1:11:02 | 1:11:03 | |
NHS England says the use of mobile
scanners at supermarkets | 1:11:03 | 1:11:06 | |
and shopping centres
in Greater Manchester proved | 1:11:06 | 1:11:08 | |
so successful, similar schemes
will now be rolled out to other | 1:11:08 | 1:11:11 | |
parts of the country. | 1:11:11 | 1:11:12 | |
Caroline Rigby has more. | 1:11:12 | 1:11:13 | |
It has saved my life,
definitely saved my life, | 1:11:13 | 1:11:15 | |
because I could have gone maybe two
or three years and it | 1:11:15 | 1:11:19 | |
could have spread everywhere. | 1:11:19 | 1:11:23 | |
Michael Brady was diagnosed
with lung cancer thanks to a project | 1:11:23 | 1:11:26 | |
which offered extra screening
to smokers and former smokers | 1:11:26 | 1:11:29 | |
in some of the poorest
Manchester areas. | 1:11:29 | 1:11:39 | |
In an effort to boost early
detection, patients thought to be | 1:11:39 | 1:11:42 | |
most at risk were given CT
scans in mobile trucks | 1:11:42 | 1:11:44 | |
and supermarkets
at shopping centres. | 1:11:44 | 1:11:46 | |
Lung cancer is the biggest
cancer killer in the UK, | 1:11:46 | 1:11:48 | |
claiming 35,000 lives year. | 1:11:48 | 1:11:50 | |
NHS England says during
the Manchester pilot, | 1:11:50 | 1:11:51 | |
one case was detected every 33
people screened and four out of five | 1:11:51 | 1:11:55 | |
cases were diagnosed early
when the disease is easier to treat. | 1:11:55 | 1:11:59 | |
Similar schemes are being rolled out
in London and the north of England. | 1:11:59 | 1:12:08 | |
Many have welcomed it
but Cancer Research UK warns | 1:12:08 | 1:12:11 | |
there will need to be extra
staff needed if more | 1:12:11 | 1:12:14 | |
lives are to be saved. | 1:12:14 | 1:12:18 | |
Brian Hope is a GP and is with us
now. The papers have said they will | 1:12:18 | 1:12:24 | |
be tests in supermarket car parks.
What they have done in Manchester is | 1:12:24 | 1:12:28 | |
they have piloted and targeted
people or an area that actually has | 1:12:28 | 1:12:32 | |
a very high level of lung cancer. I
think that is important in | 1:12:32 | 1:12:37 | |
screening. Screening is not
diagnosis. It is trying to pick out | 1:12:37 | 1:12:40 | |
a population that will be more at
risk than the general population. I | 1:12:40 | 1:12:47 | |
think that's where this has been
really successful in that one, it's | 1:12:47 | 1:12:52 | |
been accessible for people. We are
the people who don't get screened | 1:12:52 | 1:12:58 | |
are often the people who should get
screened. In cervical cancer | 1:12:58 | 1:13:02 | |
screening, we often don't get it. We
often don't get the 20, 30%. When we | 1:13:02 | 1:13:12 | |
look specifically at lung cancer
survival rates which is poor in the | 1:13:12 | 1:13:16 | |
UK, is that because the right people
are not being screened? It's very | 1:13:16 | 1:13:23 | |
positive because we know that if we
catch it early, your chances of | 1:13:23 | 1:13:27 | |
survival are much greater. The
higher up that number you get, the | 1:13:27 | 1:13:35 | |
less survival rate is you get up.
Catching it early is absolutely | 1:13:35 | 1:13:39 | |
critical. There will be a wider
expansion of these mobile schemes. | 1:13:39 | 1:13:46 | |
What's good as they have pirate --
piloted it. They have proved its | 1:13:46 | 1:13:51 | |
worth. We know that it's actually
going to be effective and that's a | 1:13:51 | 1:13:58 | |
really good thing. Also talking
about an introduction, or extension. | 1:13:58 | 1:14:10 | |
The one we have at the minute, when
you have a screening programme. You | 1:14:10 | 1:14:18 | |
don't have a lot of false positives
and a lot of false negatives. This | 1:14:18 | 1:14:23 | |
new test is a Pacific. If it
positive, it means you definitely | 1:14:23 | 1:14:29 | |
need to do something about it so
looking through the whole system of | 1:14:29 | 1:14:33 | |
the NHS, we are not clogging the
system up with people who have a | 1:14:33 | 1:14:37 | |
false positive. Having tests done
that might not need to be done. | 1:14:37 | 1:14:48 | |
Getting people early, that is one of
the key things in treatment. We have | 1:14:48 | 1:14:53 | |
screening programmes already. It
means that people are reluctant | 1:14:53 | 1:14:57 | |
because people are frightened by the
word, to come forward and all of us | 1:14:57 | 1:15:03 | |
say, if I don't do anything, it's
the opposite of that. The more we do | 1:15:03 | 1:15:09 | |
get tested appropriately, that gives
a better chance of survival. | 1:15:09 | 1:15:15 | |
So if people go to a supermarket car | 1:15:15 | 1:15:17 | |
So if people go to a supermarket car
park or a shopping centre and they | 1:15:17 | 1:15:19 | |
see these screening areas, is it not
on the door or go in? I don't think | 1:15:19 | 1:15:24 | |
that is happening. You have to have
an appointment, to be referred or | 1:15:24 | 1:15:30 | |
whatever, because that's what
happens with screening programmes. | 1:15:30 | 1:15:35 | |
People say, why am I not in it? You
have to have a system or else it | 1:15:35 | 1:15:40 | |
gets overloaded and the knock-on
effect to the NHS could be negative. | 1:15:40 | 1:15:44 | |
So there has to be as system of
calling people in and having it done | 1:15:44 | 1:15:49 | |
in an appropriate manner. Very
interesting, thank you. Let us know | 1:15:49 | 1:15:54 | |
what you think about that. | 1:15:54 | 1:15:56 | |
We have been talking about the
Regents Street Christmas lights, | 1:15:56 | 1:16:00 | |
which they have put up since the
1950s. Here is how it was reported | 1:16:00 | 1:16:07 | |
back in 1957. The Mayor of
Westminster will switch on one of | 1:16:07 | 1:16:12 | |
London's Christmas displays, the
regions -- Regents Street. I love | 1:16:12 | 1:16:22 | |
that. Absolutely brilliant. They are
still putting up the lights on | 1:16:22 | 1:16:30 | |
Regents Street. Carroll, the first
to have Christmas lights? That's | 1:16:30 | 1:16:33 | |
right. Good morning. Lots of others
followed of course and you can see | 1:16:33 | 1:16:42 | |
them behind me and the theme is the
spirit of Christmas. They were | 1:16:42 | 1:16:46 | |
switched on by Paloma Faith, who
will be here at 9:05am, and she will | 1:16:46 | 1:16:53 | |
be with Michael Ball, and of course
Emma Bunton as well. Now, the | 1:16:53 | 1:17:02 | |
weather is lovely and mild across
England, Wales and Northern Ireland. | 1:17:02 | 1:17:06 | |
At the moment, temperatures are
between 11 and 14 degrees. In | 1:17:06 | 1:17:10 | |
Scotland, they are lower with a
range roughly between five and ten. | 1:17:10 | 1:17:15 | |
In parts of the Grampians, they are
as low as freezing. For most of the | 1:17:15 | 1:17:22 | |
day, the forecast is cloudy | 1:17:22 | 1:17:23 | |
as low as freezing. For most of the
day, the forecast is cloudy and mild | 1:17:23 | 1:17:24 | |
and some will see some rain at
times. Some of us already have some | 1:17:24 | 1:17:28 | |
rain. This morning at 9am we have
rain in northern England and | 1:17:28 | 1:17:32 | |
Scotland. There is a lot of dry
weather around. It is breezy today | 1:17:32 | 1:17:36 | |
with a Federal cloud. The cloud is
thick enough for the odd spot of | 1:17:36 | 1:17:40 | |
rain is all. -- with a fair bit of
cloud. We have another band through | 1:17:40 | 1:17:45 | |
the day from the west. If we start
the forecast this afternoon in | 1:17:45 | 1:17:49 | |
Scotland at three o'clock you can
see the rain north of the central | 1:17:49 | 1:17:53 | |
belt moving steadily northwards.
South of that in the southern | 1:17:53 | 1:17:57 | |
uplands and northern England, there
is a lot of cloud and across the | 1:17:57 | 1:18:00 | |
Pennines we also have rain moving
from the west to the east. So at | 1:18:00 | 1:18:04 | |
this stage north-east England has
brighter skies. For the Midlands, | 1:18:04 | 1:18:09 | |
into East Anglia and southern
counties, a lot of cloud. The north | 1:18:09 | 1:18:13 | |
Midlands seeing some spots of rain.
And as we drift to the south-west, | 1:18:13 | 1:18:17 | |
we are looking at the cloud thick
enough for the odd spot of rain, but | 1:18:17 | 1:18:21 | |
nothing too heavy. Then we run into
the rain across Wales, a lot of | 1:18:21 | 1:18:25 | |
cloud, raining all the time, when
not it will be fairly grey, and for | 1:18:25 | 1:18:30 | |
Northern Ireland, to the south this
afternoon, with the spot out of the | 1:18:30 | 1:18:36 | |
cloud. The bright skies north of
England. It will be unseasonably | 1:18:36 | 1:18:41 | |
mild temperatures into the midteens.
. Then into the evening and | 1:18:41 | 1:18:45 | |
overnight you can see the
distinctive banns of rain on the | 1:18:45 | 1:18:48 | |
charts with their heaviest and most
persistent across the north of | 1:18:48 | 1:18:51 | |
Scotland. Here across the Northern
Isles it will be wintry. It is going | 1:18:51 | 1:18:56 | |
to feel cold here and the wind will
be picking up. For the rest of the | 1:18:56 | 1:19:01 | |
UK it is going to be relatively mild
once again in the night with | 1:19:01 | 1:19:05 | |
temperatures in double figures. On
Wednesday, more rain across the | 1:19:05 | 1:19:08 | |
north and west, some of that will be
heavy and persistent, particularly | 1:19:08 | 1:19:13 | |
so across, for example, Snowdonia,
the Cumbrian Fels, we will see large | 1:19:13 | 1:19:17 | |
totals and the other feature is it
will be very windy, particularly so | 1:19:17 | 1:19:21 | |
in the west with exposure and
gusting winds across the south and | 1:19:21 | 1:19:25 | |
the English Channel. Tomorrow,
London could hit 15 Celsius. Then as | 1:19:25 | 1:19:29 | |
we head into Thursday, the rain
clears away from the south-east, | 1:19:29 | 1:19:33 | |
there is a dry spell and then we
have more rain coming in from the | 1:19:33 | 1:19:41 | |
south-west, and at the same time
from the word go there will be some | 1:19:41 | 1:19:45 | |
rain across Scotland falling as no
even down to road level across the | 1:19:45 | 1:19:48 | |
Highlands and also the Grampians,
something to bear in mind if you are | 1:19:48 | 1:19:52 | |
travelling. And you will notice the
cooler conditions filtering that bit | 1:19:52 | 1:19:55 | |
further | 1:19:55 | 1:19:55 | |
cooler conditions filtering that bit
further south, so the very south of | 1:19:55 | 1:19:57 | |
England hangs on by the skin of its
teeth to double-figure temperatures. | 1:19:57 | 1:20:00 | |
OK, thank you very much. | 1:20:00 | 1:20:02 | |
Going to have a look at some of the
front pages of the papers. I am | 1:20:02 | 1:20:06 | |
ready to go. We were talking about
the cancer test and moment ago and I | 1:20:06 | 1:20:10 | |
was saying a moment earlier about
how a picture can be used to tell a | 1:20:10 | 1:20:14 | |
picture and this is about Angela
Merkel fighting for her future after | 1:20:14 | 1:20:17 | |
the collapse of talks to form a
coalition government. Angela Merkel | 1:20:17 | 1:20:21 | |
faces a battle for survival. It is
the use of the picture which is | 1:20:21 | 1:20:25 | |
clever. My favourite story here is
sailors from the Royal Navy next | 1:20:25 | 1:20:29 | |
week will perform their first
changing of the guard, 90 of which | 1:20:29 | 1:20:33 | |
trained in the routines and real
movement needed for the Royal guard | 1:20:33 | 1:20:37 | |
duties at Buckingham Palace. And
Paul Hollywood was giving an | 1:20:37 | 1:20:41 | |
interview with the radio Times which
accuses three old Bake-Off | 1:20:41 | 1:20:47 | |
colleagues leaving him in the lurch
when he moved to Channel 4. And he | 1:20:47 | 1:20:51 | |
is in there for a different reason,
the breakup for Hollywood and his | 1:20:51 | 1:20:54 | |
wife of 20 years and the main story
is what we were talking with Doctor | 1:20:54 | 1:20:58 | |
Brian Hope about, cancer scan at the
supermarket, slightly polished, this | 1:20:58 | 1:21:05 | |
story, still really interesting
development in the treatment of | 1:21:05 | 1:21:08 | |
cancer and scanning of cancer in
this country. Paul Hollywood is | 1:21:08 | 1:21:12 | |
fodder in this Sun and the Mirror as
well. What else? I've got a cat | 1:21:12 | 1:21:18 | |
story. All-white. Interesting cat
dog story -- all right. They | 1:21:18 | 1:21:26 | |
kitten's site are saved by a great
Dane. Look at Zephyr, with painful | 1:21:26 | 1:21:33 | |
eyes. This expert vet suggested the
way to deal with this was to take | 1:21:33 | 1:21:38 | |
blood from a healthy big dog and try
to inject it into the eyes. It | 1:21:38 | 1:21:42 | |
sounds a bit we had. So, a long Qaim
Hali, a great Dane, and what they | 1:21:42 | 1:21:48 | |
did -- along came Harley, they used
the clear fluid, then... It is like | 1:21:48 | 1:22:03 | |
you are a scientist. They put it
into the cat's rise and stopped it | 1:22:03 | 1:22:07 | |
from degrading and now Zephyr is
fully healthy thanks to his big mate | 1:22:07 | 1:22:11 | |
the great Dane. And I love the way
the great Dane doesn't like cats. It | 1:22:11 | 1:22:15 | |
is one of those... It is a classic
story. I was out of my depth, | 1:22:15 | 1:22:22 | |
delving into science, and I rescued
it. And this cat was rescued. As | 1:22:22 | 1:22:26 | |
soon as I started mentioning plasma,
my biology lessons from the GCSE | 1:22:26 | 1:22:30 | |
came back. | 1:22:30 | 1:22:31 | |
When you're out shopping it can be
nice to find a seat for a quick rest | 1:22:31 | 1:22:35 | |
and to take the load off your feet. | 1:22:35 | 1:22:37 | |
But for some the availability
of seating can be the deciding | 1:22:37 | 1:22:40 | |
factor in whether it's
possible to go out at all. | 1:22:40 | 1:22:43 | |
New research suggests around
a quarter of older people feel | 1:22:43 | 1:22:46 | |
excluded from our high streets. | 1:22:46 | 1:22:47 | |
Breakfast's John McGuire has
been to find out more. | 1:22:47 | 1:22:49 | |
Will you walk around a Sainsbury's,
or sitdown? Sitdown. Clive and | 1:22:49 | 1:22:57 | |
Margaret enjoy getting out and about
in the local town of Fleet in | 1:22:57 | 1:23:01 | |
Hampshire. If you are tired,
sitdown. It is OK. They like | 1:23:01 | 1:23:06 | |
exercise, fresh air and the chance
to see what they are buying. That | 1:23:06 | 1:23:11 | |
looks nice, that lemon cake. It is
nice to choose your own fruit and | 1:23:11 | 1:23:16 | |
vegetables rather than have them
delivered and get the wrong number | 1:23:16 | 1:23:20 | |
or the wrong variety. But also very
important, somewhere to sit down and | 1:23:20 | 1:23:24 | |
take the weight off their feet.
Would you choose a supermarket that | 1:23:24 | 1:23:28 | |
had seating over one that didn't?
Yes, we would, because we wouldn't | 1:23:28 | 1:23:33 | |
want to stand for half an hour. Some
you have to wander around and stand | 1:23:33 | 1:23:37 | |
forever, you know. The Anchor trust,
which houses all the people, says | 1:23:37 | 1:23:45 | |
access to the high street is a real
concern and, as the population ages, | 1:23:45 | 1:23:49 | |
also a growing one. Potentially
retailers are missing out on 4.5 | 1:23:49 | 1:23:55 | |
billion pounds a year by 2030 by not
providing adequate seating, so this | 1:23:55 | 1:24:01 | |
talk about the high-streets kind of
dying and the death of the | 1:24:01 | 1:24:07 | |
high-street, it is premature and
actually there is a really big | 1:24:07 | 1:24:10 | |
opportunity for retailers to provide
seats for shoppers of the future. | 1:24:10 | 1:24:14 | |
The charity asked 1000 over 70s for
their views on going shopping. | 1:24:14 | 1:24:20 | |
Almost a quarter of the people
questioned by the survey, 23%, in | 1:24:20 | 1:24:25 | |
fact, said they felt excluded from
the modern high-street. Unexpected | 1:24:25 | 1:24:30 | |
item in the bagging area, around 24%
people are put off with these self | 1:24:30 | 1:24:35 | |
scan machines. And are there enough
places to sit down in towns and | 1:24:35 | 1:24:40 | |
cities centres? 60% of people
thought not. The charity has | 1:24:40 | 1:24:43 | |
launched this idea. Standing up for
sitting down. It is backed by large | 1:24:43 | 1:24:49 | |
chains including Sainsburys,
Morrisons and Debenhams and more | 1:24:49 | 1:24:53 | |
than 200 independent shops. So this
is our chair and we have it for | 1:24:53 | 1:24:58 | |
anybody that comes into the shop,
used often for Alves in a older | 1:24:58 | 1:25:04 | |
guests and customers if they want to
sit down and have a break when they | 1:25:04 | 1:25:08 | |
are shopping. Even if it is a tiny
thing, it is really important so | 1:25:08 | 1:25:12 | |
they can take a break if they want
to. And the campaign says it | 1:25:12 | 1:25:15 | |
benefits both older shoppers and
retailers, aiming to see some of the | 1:25:15 | 1:25:20 | |
grey pounds spent online coming back
into high-street til. -- tills. | 1:25:20 | 1:25:27 | |
The British Retail Consortium says
retailers have been working to bring | 1:25:27 | 1:25:30 | |
in seating, as well as introduce
other initiatives to make high | 1:25:30 | 1:25:33 | |
streets more accessible
to more people. | 1:25:33 | 1:25:35 | |
Tell us what you think about that.
Do you find difficulties as well? | 1:25:35 | 1:25:40 | |
You're watching Breakfast. | 1:25:40 | 1:25:41 | |
Still to come this morning: She's
been described as "Britain's most | 1:25:41 | 1:25:44 | |
wanted boss" and Dame Carolyn McCall
will be speaking to Steph ahead | 1:25:44 | 1:25:47 | |
of her move from easyJet to ITV. | 1:25:47 | 1:25:53 | |
Yes, she will be here with us in a
few minutes' time. | 1:25:53 | 1:25:56 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 1:25:56 | 1:29:16 | |
and things get much colder
as we head through Saturday. | 1:29:16 | 1:29:19 | |
I'm back with the latest
from the BBC London newsroom | 1:29:19 | 1:29:21 | |
in half an hour. | 1:29:21 | 1:29:24 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 1:29:24 | 1:29:27 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 1:29:27 | 1:29:31 | |
Theresa May looks set to offer
the EU a bigger divorce bill payment | 1:29:31 | 1:29:35 | |
in return for trade talks. | 1:29:35 | 1:29:36 | |
The BBC understands the move
was given the go-ahead | 1:29:36 | 1:29:39 | |
during a meeting of senior cabinet
ministers yesterday. | 1:29:39 | 1:29:41 | |
The Prime Minister is
expected to put the offer | 1:29:41 | 1:29:44 | |
to the EU later this week. | 1:29:44 | 1:29:47 | |
Britain had been told it
must make more progress, | 1:29:47 | 1:29:49 | |
if talks are to move
on to the next phase. | 1:29:49 | 1:30:06 | |
Angela Merkel has said she would
prefer to call a snap election and | 1:30:06 | 1:30:10 | |
run under a minority government. | 1:30:10 | 1:30:13 | |
Robert Mugabe faces being impeached
after refusing to step down | 1:30:13 | 1:30:15 | |
as President of Zimbabwe. | 1:30:15 | 1:30:17 | |
The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF,
could ask parliament to begin | 1:30:17 | 1:30:19 | |
the process today. | 1:30:19 | 1:30:20 | |
The 93-year old, who
remains under armed guard | 1:30:20 | 1:30:22 | |
in the Presidential palace,
is accused of allowing his wife | 1:30:22 | 1:30:25 | |
to seize power illegally and many
believe Mr Mugabe is now | 1:30:25 | 1:30:28 | |
incapable of governing. | 1:30:28 | 1:30:29 | |
Last night, the military
suggested a plan was emerging | 1:30:29 | 1:30:31 | |
for the transfer of power. | 1:30:31 | 1:30:38 | |
We have made further consultation
with the President to agree | 1:30:38 | 1:30:41 | |
on a roadmap on the prevailing
situation in the country. | 1:30:41 | 1:30:44 | |
The Zimbabwe defence and security
services are encouraged | 1:30:44 | 1:30:49 | |
by new developments which include
conduct between the President | 1:30:49 | 1:30:54 | |
and the former vice-president,
comrade Emmerson Mnangagwa, | 1:30:54 | 1:31:04 | |
who is expected in
the country shortly. | 1:31:04 | 1:31:06 | |
Lung cancer screening will be
offered at supermarkets and shopping | 1:31:06 | 1:31:09 | |
centres in some areas
of England, as part of a drive | 1:31:09 | 1:31:12 | |
to speed up diagnosis. | 1:31:12 | 1:31:13 | |
A pilot scheme, which targeted
smokers and former | 1:31:13 | 1:31:18 | |
smokers in Greater Manchester,
saw a significant rise | 1:31:18 | 1:31:20 | |
in early detection rates. | 1:31:20 | 1:31:22 | |
There was a four-fold increase
in the number of cases found | 1:31:22 | 1:31:25 | |
at stage one or two
when the disease is more easily | 1:31:25 | 1:31:28 | |
treated. | 1:31:28 | 1:31:29 | |
President Trump has re-declared
North Korea as a state sponsor | 1:31:29 | 1:31:34 | |
of terrorism nine years
after it was removed from the list. | 1:31:34 | 1:31:37 | |
Mr Trump said the move
would trigger very large | 1:31:37 | 1:31:39 | |
additional sanctions,
which will be announced | 1:31:39 | 1:31:41 | |
in the future. | 1:31:41 | 1:31:43 | |
He blamed the country's nuclear
programme, as well as its support | 1:31:43 | 1:31:46 | |
for what he called international
acts of terrorism. | 1:31:46 | 1:31:49 | |
South Korea has welcomed the move. | 1:31:49 | 1:31:54 | |
TV presenter Paul Hollywood has
accused his former Bake Off | 1:31:54 | 1:31:57 | |
colleagues - including
fellow judge Mary Berry - | 1:31:57 | 1:31:59 | |
of abandoning the show. | 1:31:59 | 1:32:00 | |
Mary Berry, along with
presenters Mel and Sue, | 1:32:00 | 1:32:02 | |
left the programme when it
moved to Channel 4. | 1:32:02 | 1:32:05 | |
In an interview with
the Radio Times, he said | 1:32:05 | 1:32:07 | |
the criticism he received
after his decision to stay | 1:32:07 | 1:32:11 | |
with the show was not fun
and that he felt he became the most | 1:32:11 | 1:32:15 | |
hated man in the country. | 1:32:15 | 1:32:20 | |
Coming up in the programme,
Carol will have the weather | 1:32:20 | 1:32:23 | |
in around 10 minutes. | 1:32:23 | 1:32:28 | |
She is staring down Regent Street
which we have learnt was the first | 1:32:28 | 1:32:31 | |
St to have Christmas lights back in
1954, 19 56. In the 50s! Carol | 1:32:31 | 1:32:40 | |
knows, thankfully. I'm talking about
Mike Ashley this morning and | 1:32:40 | 1:32:46 | |
rumblings coming out of Newcastle
about the potential sale of the | 1:32:46 | 1:32:50 | |
club. He is not particularly happy
about the amount of money being | 1:32:50 | 1:32:57 | |
offered. There is a suggestion it is
around £300 million but he suggests | 1:32:57 | 1:33:04 | |
the figure could be much lower. | 1:33:04 | 1:33:07 | |
Mike Ashley's time as owner
of Newcastle United could be coming | 1:33:07 | 1:33:10 | |
to an end. | 1:33:10 | 1:33:11 | |
A financial firm led
by British businesswoman | 1:33:11 | 1:33:13 | |
Amanda Staveley has
launched a takeover bid | 1:33:13 | 1:33:15 | |
in the region of £300 million. | 1:33:15 | 1:33:17 | |
Newcastle are yet to comment
publicly on the news. | 1:33:17 | 1:33:22 | |
Brighton twice came from behind
to deny Stoke all three points | 1:33:22 | 1:33:25 | |
at the Amex Stadium
in the Premier League last night. | 1:33:25 | 1:33:30 | |
Stoke took the lead
through Choupo-Moting - | 1:33:30 | 1:33:32 | |
his third goal of the season. | 1:33:32 | 1:33:34 | |
Jose Izquierdo got the final goal
of the night to earn Chris Hughton's | 1:33:34 | 1:33:37 | |
side a point - Brighton are now
unbeaten in five league matches. | 1:33:37 | 1:33:43 | |
We would have liked more, certainly,
probably the overall performance | 1:33:43 | 1:33:48 | |
wasn't good enough to get all three
points and I thought we showed great | 1:33:48 | 1:33:54 | |
credit and character to come back
twice from being behind | 1:33:54 | 1:33:57 | |
but overall,
I think the draw was a fair result. | 1:33:57 | 1:34:00 | |
West Bromwich Albion are looking
for a new manager after sacking Tony | 1:34:00 | 1:34:03 | |
Pulis. | 1:34:03 | 1:34:03 | |
(OOV) A four nil home defeat
to Chelsea left the club one point | 1:34:03 | 1:34:07 | |
above the relegation zone and ended
Pulis's reign after less than three | 1:34:07 | 1:34:10 | |
years in charge. | 1:34:10 | 1:34:13 | |
He is the fifth Premier League
manager to be dismissed this season. | 1:34:13 | 1:34:16 | |
Gary Megson has been put
in temporary charge. | 1:34:16 | 1:34:20 | |
Australia head coach Michael Cheika
is being investigated | 1:34:20 | 1:34:22 | |
for his comments and conduct
during Saturday's match | 1:34:22 | 1:34:24 | |
against England at Twickenham. | 1:34:24 | 1:34:27 | |
The disciplinary authorities
are investigating | 1:34:27 | 1:34:30 | |
with an update expected later. | 1:34:30 | 1:34:32 | |
Cheika reacted strongly to a series
of decisions that went | 1:34:32 | 1:34:37 | |
against his side in the 30 points
to 6 defeat, while he also | 1:34:37 | 1:34:40 | |
was involved in an exchange
with a supporter. | 1:34:40 | 1:34:43 | |
Staying with rugby union
and Sarah Hunter will win her | 1:34:43 | 1:34:46 | |
hundredth cap for
England women later. | 1:34:46 | 1:34:48 | |
She'll lead the Red Roses out
against Canada for the second match | 1:34:48 | 1:34:51 | |
in their Autumn series. | 1:34:51 | 1:34:52 | |
The 2014 World Cup winner was named
World Player of the Year last year. | 1:34:52 | 1:35:10 | |
David Haye's heavyweight rematch
with Tony Bellew has been postponed | 1:35:10 | 1:35:13 | |
after a freak training accident. | 1:35:13 | 1:35:15 | |
The fight was due to
take place next month, | 1:35:15 | 1:35:17 | |
but Haye slipped during a stair
conditioning session | 1:35:17 | 1:35:19 | |
and tore his bicep when he grabbed
a bannister to stop himself falling. | 1:35:19 | 1:35:23 | |
He's had surgery and it's now hoped
the fight will go ahead next | 1:35:23 | 1:35:26 | |
March or May. | 1:35:26 | 1:35:28 | |
He's had lots of trouble in the past
with all sorts of injuries. Not a | 1:35:28 | 1:35:33 | |
nice thing. You can imagine, trying
not to fall over. The first thing | 1:35:33 | 1:35:37 | |
you do is reach out.
Tearing a bicep is really painful. | 1:35:37 | 1:35:43 | |
March or May for a full recovery. | 1:35:43 | 1:35:56 | |
After retiring from football, former
Liverpool and Manchester United | 1:35:56 | 1:35:59 | |
striker Michael Owen
turned his attention horse racing. | 1:35:59 | 1:36:01 | |
And ownership in particular. | 1:36:01 | 1:36:06 | |
from football, former Liverpool
and Manchester United | 1:36:06 | 1:36:07 | |
striker Michael Owen
turned his attention horse racing. | 1:36:07 | 1:36:10 | |
And ownership in particular. | 1:36:10 | 1:36:11 | |
But now for the first time he'll
compete as a jockey - | 1:36:11 | 1:36:14 | |
his first race will be at Ascot
in aid of the Prince's Countryside | 1:36:14 | 1:36:17 | |
Fund. | 1:36:17 | 1:36:18 | |
Owen will be the only
novice in the race. | 1:36:18 | 1:36:20 | |
He first sat on a horse less
than a year ago and started riding | 1:36:20 | 1:36:24 | |
for the first time in April. | 1:36:24 | 1:36:26 | |
We tried to put the on the nice
horses to start with, | 1:36:26 | 1:36:29 | |
ones that aren't keen to spin
and spin around so I've had a gentle | 1:36:29 | 1:36:33 | |
introduction but there is no hiding
place, you have to go and do it | 1:36:33 | 1:36:36 | |
and the ups and downs,
the weight loss, getting dumped | 1:36:36 | 1:36:39 | |
on the floor, the pain. | 1:36:39 | 1:36:41 | |
It's all been a massive learning
curve and way harder than I thought. | 1:36:41 | 1:36:44 | |
He said he thought he'd give it a go
because he wanted to lose weight. He | 1:36:44 | 1:36:48 | |
wanted something to do. He wanted
the challenge. The horsey will be | 1:36:48 | 1:36:52 | |
riding at Ascot I think is the
technical term, a little more | 1:36:52 | 1:36:58 | |
feisty. Skittish. Very good luck to
him. He absolutely loves | 1:36:58 | 1:37:04 | |
horseracing. He will happily talk
you about football but if you talk | 1:37:04 | 1:37:10 | |
about horses, is off. Why hasn't he
done this before? He couldn't. He | 1:37:10 | 1:37:16 | |
wasn't allowed. He was allowed to
sit on a horse. But that jockey | 1:37:16 | 1:37:24 | |
thing now, sleeping on a hot bath,
wearing a massive towel. That's | 1:37:24 | 1:37:29 | |
Woody said. He is eating nothing.
Poor man. The first major wave of | 1:37:29 | 1:37:55 | |
Caribbean immigrants is being
celebrated by dense company. Colin | 1:37:55 | 1:38:00 | |
Patterson has been to meet them. | 1:38:00 | 1:38:04 | |
The Empire Windrush brings
to Britain many Jamaicans. | 1:38:04 | 1:38:07 | |
They served this country well. | 1:38:07 | 1:38:08 | |
History being turned into dance. | 1:38:08 | 1:38:09 | |
Next year is the 70th anniversary
of the Empire Windrush bringing | 1:38:09 | 1:38:16 | |
the first large group of post-war
Caribbean immigrants to the UK. | 1:38:16 | 1:38:19 | |
Swing, swing. | 1:38:19 | 1:38:25 | |
Don't go too soon. | 1:38:25 | 1:38:26 | |
Sharon Watson is the artistic dance
director of Phoenix Dance Company | 1:38:26 | 1:38:29 | |
in Leeds, inspired by her own
mother's journey from Jamaica | 1:38:29 | 1:38:32 | |
in 1960s and decided | 1:38:32 | 1:38:33 | |
to create a piece about Windrush. | 1:38:33 | 1:38:41 | |
It resonates with our family
in leaving a home and place. | 1:38:41 | 1:38:44 | |
Relocating somewhere new,
somewhere different. | 1:38:44 | 1:38:45 | |
I picked her brain considerably. | 1:38:45 | 1:38:49 | |
Her mum had come along to see
the work in progress | 1:38:49 | 1:38:52 | |
and it was bringing back memories
of own arrival in the UK. | 1:38:52 | 1:38:58 | |
You could see icicles hanging
down from the windows | 1:38:58 | 1:39:00 | |
which you don't see now. | 1:39:00 | 1:39:03 | |
I had a big coat on a big boat
and we had never seen them before. | 1:39:03 | 1:39:07 | |
It was a bit unusual for me. | 1:39:07 | 1:39:11 | |
Members of Leeds' Caribbean
community had also been invited | 1:39:11 | 1:39:14 | |
so they could give feedback based
on their own voyages. | 1:39:14 | 1:39:19 | |
That Windrush, it reminds me
so much, | 1:39:20 | 1:39:23 | |
like sardines packed in that boat. | 1:39:23 | 1:39:27 | |
And they are thrilled the story
will be on stage next February. | 1:39:28 | 1:39:32 | |
When the younger people come
and see what's going on, | 1:39:32 | 1:39:36 | |
they understand what the old ladies
and old gentleman had to go through. | 1:39:36 | 1:39:39 | |
So this is Leeds, 1940... | 1:39:39 | 1:39:42 | |
1948. | 1:39:42 | 1:39:44 | |
Phoenix Dance Company has also made
an old discovery | 1:39:44 | 1:39:47 | |
they hope they can show. | 1:39:47 | 1:39:53 | |
Alford Gardiner is 91,
lives in Leeds | 1:39:53 | 1:39:55 | |
and came over on Windrush. | 1:39:55 | 1:39:56 | |
He's agreed to share his memories
to help shape the production. | 1:39:56 | 1:40:00 | |
He was a mechanic in the RAF in
Britain during the Second World War | 1:40:00 | 1:40:04 | |
and a lack of work at home
made him want to come back. | 1:40:04 | 1:40:08 | |
In Jamaica at the time,
if you haven't got a job, | 1:40:08 | 1:40:11 | |
you are a nobody. | 1:40:11 | 1:40:14 | |
What was it like on Windrush? | 1:40:14 | 1:40:20 | |
We had six ex-army boys who wanted
to commandeer our money. | 1:40:20 | 1:40:23 | |
Between us, we got them on the boat. | 1:40:23 | 1:40:32 | |
We were busy hiding them. | 1:40:32 | 1:40:33 | |
Three men in a toilet hiding. | 1:40:33 | 1:40:35 | |
That is what happened. | 1:40:35 | 1:40:36 | |
What can I say, it's
part of history now. | 1:40:36 | 1:40:39 | |
It is history. | 1:40:39 | 1:40:39 | |
And 70 years on, Alford,
who worked in factories | 1:40:39 | 1:40:42 | |
and had nine children, | 1:40:42 | 1:40:43 | |
thinks getting on Windrush
was a great decision. | 1:40:43 | 1:40:47 | |
I have family, music. | 1:40:47 | 1:40:58 | |
-- I live on three
principles - | 1:40:58 | 1:41:04 | |
family, music and sport. | 1:41:04 | 1:41:07 | |
After them three things,
good luck for everything else. | 1:41:07 | 1:41:09 | |
You strike me as a man
who has enjoyed life. | 1:41:09 | 1:41:12 | |
And I am still enjoying it. | 1:41:12 | 1:41:13 | |
And I will always be enjoying it. | 1:41:13 | 1:41:21 | |
What a charming man. It will
premiere in Yorkshire in February | 1:41:21 | 1:41:25 | |
and then will tour the country. | 1:41:25 | 1:41:27 | |
Women spend an average of 1,600
pounds on tampons and sanitary | 1:41:27 | 1:41:30 | |
towels during their lifetime
and that includes more than 160 | 1:41:30 | 1:41:33 | |
pounds of VAT. | 1:41:33 | 1:41:34 | |
The government has promised to scrap
the so-called Tampon Tax by next | 1:41:34 | 1:41:37 | |
year, but does that go far enough? | 1:41:37 | 1:41:39 | |
The BBC's devised an online
calculator so women can work out how | 1:41:39 | 1:41:42 | |
much they're likely to spend
on sanitary products. | 1:41:42 | 1:41:44 | |
The BBC's Christine Jeavans
was behind that tool and she joins | 1:41:44 | 1:41:47 | |
us now from London. | 1:41:47 | 1:41:51 | |
Here in the studio
we have Chella Quint, | 1:41:51 | 1:41:55 | |
who's the founder of
the Period Positive campaign. | 1:41:55 | 1:41:59 | |
They give adjoining ours. Tell us
about why you have come up with this | 1:41:59 | 1:42:05 | |
idea. Our team decided to put
together this calculator because we | 1:42:05 | 1:42:10 | |
felt it was an issue that affects
most women and it's something that | 1:42:10 | 1:42:14 | |
people will be really interested in
and it's been five different VAT | 1:42:14 | 1:42:21 | |
rates on sanitary products since VAT
was introduced in 1973. It is | 1:42:21 | 1:42:26 | |
difficult to work out how much you
have spent yourself. VAT is meant to | 1:42:26 | 1:42:33 | |
be on luxury goods, isn't it?
Currently, sanitary products are | 1:42:33 | 1:42:38 | |
taxed at the reduced rate of 5% but
prior to 2001, they were at the full | 1:42:38 | 1:42:45 | |
standard rate of VAT which was
17.5%. I know you have had a go at | 1:42:45 | 1:42:52 | |
the calculator. What do you think? I
have spent about three months of | 1:42:52 | 1:42:58 | |
mortgage on menstrual products. I
think the calculator is fascinating. | 1:42:58 | 1:43:04 | |
It would be great to use. I'm amazed
at how many menstrual products I | 1:43:04 | 1:43:09 | |
have brought. From your point of
view, removing the VAT would be the | 1:43:09 | 1:43:18 | |
first step? Not necessarily. It's
been decreasing over the years. It's | 1:43:18 | 1:43:26 | |
currently around the rate of things
that we throw away. It's important | 1:43:26 | 1:43:30 | |
to look at the sustainability. If we
use around 11,000 menstrual | 1:43:30 | 1:43:37 | |
products, there will be more
menstruate is in Parliament in 1973, | 1:43:37 | 1:43:41 | |
it would never have been taxed in
the first place. -- if there were | 1:43:41 | 1:43:46 | |
more people who menstruated. You are
hoping to make the city a period | 1:43:46 | 1:43:53 | |
positive place. What is that mean?
Period Positive came out of my | 1:43:53 | 1:43:58 | |
research, my masters of education. I
worked with young people who wanted | 1:43:58 | 1:44:03 | |
a symbol or an emblem that would
show teachers were OK to talk about | 1:44:03 | 1:44:12 | |
periods and they could get on
menstrual product on the spot. It is | 1:44:12 | 1:44:16 | |
a symbol with a smiley face and it
would be a Charter Mark. A citywide | 1:44:16 | 1:44:21 | |
charter. Challenging taboos. Making
sure managing menstruation is | 1:44:21 | 1:44:30 | |
appropriate and helpful. So that
kids aren't worried. The whole city | 1:44:30 | 1:44:39 | |
is on board with that. Schools are
being offered free training and | 1:44:39 | 1:44:42 | |
support from me and Period Positive,
the Children's Hospital staff who | 1:44:42 | 1:44:48 | |
are involved. It's a citywide
initiative. I hope other cities will | 1:44:48 | 1:44:54 | |
take part. You are saying menstrual
products rather than sanitary | 1:44:54 | 1:45:03 | |
products. It is not unsanitary. They
are either all gross or they'll all | 1:45:03 | 1:45:10 | |
fine. It's personal choice. You
don't need to keep it secret. | 1:45:10 | 1:45:18 | |
Periods are no more less unsanitary
than any other bodily functions. | 1:45:18 | 1:45:24 | |
Some retailers treat these products
differently? Off the back of | 1:45:24 | 1:45:29 | |
interest in the tampon tax,
Morrisons, Tesco, Co-op and Waitrose | 1:45:29 | 1:45:38 | |
decided to shoulder the 5%. If and
when we go to zero rated VAT on | 1:45:38 | 1:45:48 | |
these products, we will pass on the
price cut to customers. | 1:45:48 | 1:45:53 | |
Do you think they should be | 1:45:53 | 1:45:55 | |
Do you think they should be free?
Absolutely not, because companies | 1:45:55 | 1:45:59 | |
are profiting from them, so someone
is paying and for last 100 years | 1:45:59 | 1:46:03 | |
corporations have used shame and
secrecy to get us up in arms about | 1:46:03 | 1:46:07 | |
periods without challenging this
early or often enough. Education is | 1:46:07 | 1:46:11 | |
a good long-term solution to period
poverty. Supporting communities and | 1:46:11 | 1:46:16 | |
not being afraid to ask, and looking
at sustainability in future. Not | 1:46:16 | 1:46:20 | |
everybody likes reusable products.
Teaching people about all of them | 1:46:20 | 1:46:25 | |
out there, and teaching boys and
other kids is the most available way | 1:46:25 | 1:46:31 | |
to make it free in future. Thank you
very much. It was good to talk to | 1:46:31 | 1:46:35 | |
you. If you want to do the sums, it
is all set up for you. Visit: And it | 1:46:35 | 1:46:44 | |
will tell you how much you spend and
also the VAT on that. It is quite a | 1:46:44 | 1:46:50 | |
difficult calculation. It has
changed over the years. Good | 1:46:50 | 1:46:55 | |
morning. | 1:46:55 | 1:46:56 | |
You're watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 1:46:56 | 1:47:00 | |
We have Paloma Faith on the
programme later on. | 1:47:00 | 1:47:05 | |
And Carol was telling us earlier
that she watched as the lights were | 1:47:05 | 1:47:09 | |
switched on this morning. And behind
her, the aforementioned lights | 1:47:09 | 1:47:13 | |
switched on by the aforementioned
guest this | 1:47:13 | 1:47:15 | |
switched on by the aforementioned
guest this morning. | 1:47:15 | 1:47:16 | |
Good morning. Are they not gorgeous?
They are twinkling down on Regent | 1:47:16 | 1:47:24 | |
Street, 300,000 LEDs creating that
beautiful spectacle. Now, we just | 1:47:24 | 1:47:29 | |
heard recently that the term "Fairy
lights" came from 1882 at the | 1:47:29 | 1:47:35 | |
production of the Gilbert and
Sullivan Yolanthe, and they became | 1:47:35 | 1:47:44 | |
stuck. Not as many as the 300,000 as
we can see behind us. It is breezy | 1:47:44 | 1:47:54 | |
ahead of us and some of us will see
some rain at times. Some of us | 1:47:54 | 1:47:58 | |
already have the rain. Temperatures
currently in Flintshire and Northern | 1:47:58 | 1:48:04 | |
Ireland are resting at 14 Celsius.
So we have the rain across northern | 1:48:04 | 1:48:09 | |
England and Scotland. There is a lot
of dry weather, cloud and some of | 1:48:09 | 1:48:13 | |
the cloud is thick enough for the
odd spot of drizzle. Through the day | 1:48:13 | 1:48:17 | |
more rain will come in from the
west. It won't be particular heavy | 1:48:17 | 1:48:21 | |
at this stage. So by mid afternoon
the rain will migrate north across | 1:48:21 | 1:48:26 | |
Scotland. It will be north of the
central belt by then. For the | 1:48:26 | 1:48:30 | |
southern uplands, it will be cloudy,
as it will be across northern | 1:48:30 | 1:48:33 | |
England. Look at the temperatures.
Across the Pennines there will be | 1:48:33 | 1:48:38 | |
some rain. Bright skies for
north-east England. All points south | 1:48:38 | 1:48:45 | |
and east, it is cloudy. As we move
to the south-west, it is also | 1:48:45 | 1:48:50 | |
cloudy. It is thick enough for some
spots of rain. We will have rain in | 1:48:50 | 1:48:54 | |
Wales this afternoon. When it is not
raining it will be fairly cloudy. | 1:48:54 | 1:48:58 | |
The rain is just south of Northern
Ireland by three o'clock and still | 1:48:58 | 1:49:02 | |
it will be thick enough for the odd
spot. Bright skies across the north | 1:49:02 | 1:49:06 | |
of Northern Ireland. Through this
evening and overnight you can see | 1:49:06 | 1:49:10 | |
two distinctive dance of rain on the
chart. The heaviest and persistent | 1:49:10 | 1:49:13 | |
across northern Scotland. The wind
is going to strengthen. It will be a | 1:49:13 | 1:49:19 | |
cold easterly. Showers across the
Northern Isles will be wintry in | 1:49:19 | 1:49:23 | |
nature. And here it is going to be
cold. For most of the UK tonight it | 1:49:23 | 1:49:27 | |
is going to be unseasonably mild.
So, tomorrow we start with the rain | 1:49:27 | 1:49:32 | |
across the north and the west of the
UK. Some of that will be heavy and | 1:49:32 | 1:49:37 | |
persistent, particularly with
height, for example, Snowdonia and | 1:49:37 | 1:49:40 | |
the Cumbrian Fels. The other feature
of tomorrow's whether it is it will | 1:49:40 | 1:49:45 | |
be windy, continuing to strengthen
through the day in the west with | 1:49:45 | 1:49:48 | |
gusty wind in the south. But the
further east you are, the drier it | 1:49:48 | 1:49:51 | |
will be, with highs in London up to
15 Celsius. Then for Thursday the | 1:49:51 | 1:49:56 | |
rain continues to push to the east,
clearing the south-east through the | 1:49:56 | 1:50:00 | |
morning, with a dry and cloudy spell
and bright breaks and then another | 1:50:00 | 1:50:04 | |
band of rain comes in from the
south-west. We will have rain from | 1:50:04 | 1:50:07 | |
the word go across Scotland and some
of that will be falling as snow down | 1:50:07 | 1:50:12 | |
to road level across the Highlands
and the Grampians. But by then you | 1:50:12 | 1:50:15 | |
will notice the cooler conditions
filtering that bit further south. | 1:50:15 | 1:50:18 | |
The far south of England hangs | 1:50:18 | 1:50:19 | |
filtering that bit further south.
The far south of England hangs on to | 1:50:19 | 1:50:20 | |
temperatures in double figures.
Thank you very much indeed. We have | 1:50:20 | 1:50:25 | |
been having so much fun hearing all
of the history about the lights. We | 1:50:25 | 1:50:29 | |
will be back with you in about half
an hour. We will have Paloma Faith a | 1:50:29 | 1:50:35 | |
little bit later. She switched on
the Christmas lights on Regent | 1:50:35 | 1:50:39 | |
Street. She is here to talk about
the new album. What time is it on? I | 1:50:39 | 1:50:43 | |
don't know. Nine o'clock. And then
the whole -- low crosses -- | 1:50:43 | 1:51:00 | |
Globetrotters coming on shortly. I
love that you have been told we are | 1:51:00 | 1:51:05 | |
not allowed to do that and I haven't
been told. You are the naughty one. | 1:51:05 | 1:51:09 | |
Well, it is since the world's
strongest man came in, it has | 1:51:09 | 1:51:13 | |
changed things. Steph is going to
come over here. Yes, we are just | 1:51:13 | 1:51:20 | |
waiting for our guest, the easyJet
CEO, obviously a very busy woman. We | 1:51:20 | 1:51:26 | |
just have the latest results from
them. They have said this morning it | 1:51:26 | 1:51:31 | |
made a profit of £480 million, which
is down 17% on last year. And that | 1:51:31 | 1:51:38 | |
is mainly because of what's been
going on in the currency market. So, | 1:51:38 | 1:51:42 | |
obviously, with the fall in the
Valley of the pound, it has | 1:51:42 | 1:51:46 | |
pressured the airline industry. It
has been really tough for all of | 1:51:46 | 1:51:49 | |
them. We had Air Italia, Air Berlin,
and all of the problems with | 1:51:49 | 1:51:59 | |
Ryanair, with pilot issues and
cancellations of flights and various | 1:51:59 | 1:52:03 | |
things, so the chief executive,
hopefully we will speak to her | 1:52:03 | 1:52:08 | |
shortly. She can hear us, so we are
getting there. A couple of moments. | 1:52:08 | 1:52:13 | |
Are we nearly ready? I love live TV.
Good morning. Thank you for bearing | 1:52:13 | 1:52:23 | |
with us with those technical issues.
Can I ask you this morning, you have | 1:52:23 | 1:52:28 | |
described this in your results as a
robust performance by easyJet and | 1:52:28 | 1:52:31 | |
yet profits are falling. Tell us
about why. Yes, of course, it is a | 1:52:31 | 1:52:36 | |
strong performance if you think
about it. The underlying profit is | 1:52:36 | 1:52:39 | |
actually up 3%. The entire headwind
has been 100 million on foreign | 1:52:39 | 1:52:45 | |
exchange as you pointed out. And it
is the top range of guidance, so | 1:52:45 | 1:52:50 | |
there are no surprises for the
market, no surprises for anybody. We | 1:52:50 | 1:52:54 | |
started the year knowing that was
going to be the outcome and in fact | 1:52:54 | 1:52:58 | |
we have exceeded the expectations.
So I think that's what's happened. | 1:52:58 | 1:53:02 | |
The reason for that is the
devaluation of the pound. We buy | 1:53:02 | 1:53:07 | |
fuel in dollars. There is nothing
you can do about that. It is a very | 1:53:07 | 1:53:11 | |
hefty headwind. We have done very
well. Passenger numbers are up to 80 | 1:53:11 | 1:53:16 | |
million. More pleasing is 60 million
passengers are returning passengers. | 1:53:16 | 1:53:21 | |
Very loyal passengers. Which is
showing customer service, the | 1:53:21 | 1:53:24 | |
product offering is all strong. The
brand is in very good health. And | 1:53:24 | 1:53:28 | |
load factors are very high. And the
revenue is up. Revenue is over £5 | 1:53:28 | 1:53:34 | |
billion, it is up 8%. When you look
forward, actually, that is really | 1:53:34 | 1:53:40 | |
where you see the dislocation, the
effect. As of October, the new | 1:53:40 | 1:53:45 | |
financial year, you will see the
fact that capacity comes out of the | 1:53:45 | 1:53:49 | |
market, whether that is Ryanair,
Monarch, Air Berlin, Air Italia, | 1:53:49 | 1:53:54 | |
feeding into the first half of the
financial year. You have done well | 1:53:54 | 1:53:58 | |
off the back of that? We have done
very well. We are a good airline | 1:53:58 | 1:54:05 | |
that does great customer service and
I think a lot of passengers have | 1:54:05 | 1:54:09 | |
rebooked with easyJet and that is
working very well for us. Capacity | 1:54:09 | 1:54:13 | |
coming out of the market is of
course very helpful. Capacity drives | 1:54:13 | 1:54:17 | |
revenue. And that's what's
happening. So actually, when you | 1:54:17 | 1:54:22 | |
look at the first six months of the
year, without the Air Berlin | 1:54:22 | 1:54:26 | |
transaction and the costs
associated, it would be profit | 1:54:26 | 1:54:29 | |
upgraded to 12% and as you pointed
out we have actually taken advantage | 1:54:29 | 1:54:33 | |
of the weakness in the market and we
have actually bought part of Air | 1:54:33 | 1:54:38 | |
Berlin, which gives us a clear
number one position in the Berlin | 1:54:38 | 1:54:42 | |
market from two airports. And he
mentions the weakness in the market | 1:54:42 | 1:54:46 | |
and you described in your resort a
difficult year for the aviation | 1:54:46 | 1:54:50 | |
industry. How tough is it to be in
the airline industry at the moment | 1:54:50 | 1:54:54 | |
and white? Look, it is tough anyway
-- why? It is a tough business and | 1:54:54 | 1:55:02 | |
it is 24/7, relentless. You are
constantly looking at everything | 1:55:02 | 1:55:05 | |
going on. There are a lot of
external factors. It has been | 1:55:05 | 1:55:09 | |
extremely tough in the last two
years. A combination of events, you | 1:55:09 | 1:55:13 | |
know, Brexit, devaluing pound, we
buy fuel in dollars, it is a huge | 1:55:13 | 1:55:18 | |
hit and it will have been an
important factor in Monarch not | 1:55:18 | 1:55:21 | |
being able to survive that storm,
because, as a UK airline, they would | 1:55:21 | 1:55:26 | |
have been affected by that, they
have stated that. External factors | 1:55:26 | 1:55:30 | |
are well-known in 2016, and of
external impacts, that has been | 1:55:30 | 1:55:34 | |
going on, and in addition there has
been capacity in the market in | 1:55:34 | 1:55:39 | |
2016-17, which has now come out of
the market, so that is what will | 1:55:39 | 1:55:44 | |
start to drive more discipline in
the market and that means things | 1:55:44 | 1:55:50 | |
look very good for people that are
strong. So if you have a strong | 1:55:50 | 1:55:54 | |
balance sheet you can take advantage
of the market as easyJet can and | 1:55:54 | 1:55:58 | |
that is what has happened with Air
Berlin and that will happen quickly. | 1:55:58 | 1:56:01 | |
I am conscious of the time and I
know that you have been at easyJet | 1:56:01 | 1:56:05 | |
for seven years and you are about to
leave to be the boss of ITV. To a | 1:56:05 | 1:56:10 | |
lot of viewers that sounds magical.
How do you make that transition? | 1:56:10 | 1:56:15 | |
Seventh | 1:56:15 | 1:56:17 | |
How do you make that transition?
seven and a half years has been | 1:56:17 | 1:56:20 | |
fantastic. I love the people at
easyJet and I am proud of what we | 1:56:20 | 1:56:24 | |
have achieved. And all of them are
amazing. And we have turned the | 1:56:24 | 1:56:27 | |
company into a really great airline.
So I leave with sadness but I also | 1:56:27 | 1:56:32 | |
think there is always a time to
leave and I would rather be leaving | 1:56:32 | 1:56:36 | |
when things are starting to look
very positive and that is why I am | 1:56:36 | 1:56:41 | |
leaving. I think seven and a half
years is the right time. Thank you | 1:56:41 | 1:56:45 | |
very much. Lovely. Thank you. | 1:56:45 | 1:56:48 | |
You're watching Breakfast. | 1:56:48 | 1:56:51 | |
Still to come this morning: | 1:56:51 | 1:56:55 | |
With extreme stunts and slam dunks,
the Harlem Globetrotters | 1:56:55 | 1:56:58 | |
have entertained fans
for almost a century. | 1:56:58 | 1:57:04 | |
Just a moment ago, they were doing
brilliantly. You are live on the TV. | 1:57:04 | 1:57:09 | |
That is it, start bouncing. Here we
go. That is Moves and Dizzy. That is | 1:57:09 | 1:57:17 | |
great. Excellent. They will be here
later. Just warming up outside. One | 1:57:17 | 1:57:24 | |
of them might be in the great big
Breakfast mug. There you go. | 1:57:24 | 1:57:32 | |
LAUGHTER Oh, they are fantastic. If
you forget the first ten seconds, | 1:57:32 | 1:57:38 | |
that was working perfectly. | 1:57:38 | 1:57:39 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 1:57:39 | 2:00:59 | |
Rain heading | 2:00:59 | 2:00:59 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 2:01:01 | 2:01:03 | |
Theresa May gets the backing
of her Cabinet to offer | 2:01:03 | 2:01:06 | |
a bigger Brexit payout. | 2:01:06 | 2:01:11 | |
Senior ministers have agreed that
Britain should offer | 2:01:11 | 2:01:13 | |
more money to the EU,
if it clears the path | 2:01:13 | 2:01:15 | |
for trade talks to begin. | 2:01:15 | 2:01:17 | |
But the Prime Minister is facing
anger from some of her own MPs | 2:01:17 | 2:01:20 | |
who are accusing the EU of holding
the UK to ransom. | 2:01:20 | 2:01:23 | |
Good morning.
It's Tuesday the 21st of November. | 2:01:36 | 2:01:39 | |
Also this morning. | 2:01:39 | 2:01:43 | |
Zimbabwe's parliament prepares
to take legal action to force | 2:01:43 | 2:01:46 | |
Robert Mugabe from power. | 2:01:46 | 2:01:47 | |
Early screening for lung cancer. | 2:01:47 | 2:01:49 | |
Doctors say a trial using mobile
scanners in supermarket car parks | 2:01:49 | 2:01:52 | |
has proved a huge success. | 2:01:52 | 2:01:59 | |
Good morning, easyJet has said it
made a profit of £408 million, a | 2:01:59 | 2:02:04 | |
fall when compared to the previous
year. I've been talking to the boss, | 2:02:04 | 2:02:08 | |
Carolyn McCall, about why. | 2:02:08 | 2:02:10 | |
Could Mike Ashley's days
at Newcastle be numbered | 2:02:10 | 2:02:12 | |
following a formal bid
for the football club? | 2:02:12 | 2:02:15 | |
# Cry, baby
# Who's you don't have to keep it | 2:02:20 | 2:02:26 | |
inside. #
She is on course for her first UK | 2:02:26 | 2:02:28 | |
number one album this week, up
against Taylor Swift as well, Paloma | 2:02:28 | 2:02:32 | |
Faith will be here to tell us all
about it. And Carol is out and | 2:02:32 | 2:02:37 | |
about.
Good morning from the roof of the | 2:02:37 | 2:02:39 | |
BBC in London overlooking the
fabulous Christmas lights on Regent | 2:02:39 | 2:02:42 | |
Street. It is a mild start to the
day here and across most of the UK | 2:02:42 | 2:02:46 | |
except for Scotland. It is also
cloudy and some of us will see some | 2:02:46 | 2:02:51 | |
rain, more particularly in the north
and west. More details in 15 | 2:02:51 | 2:02:54 | |
minutes.
We will see you then. | 2:02:54 | 2:02:58 | |
Good morning.
First, our main story. | 2:02:58 | 2:03:00 | |
Theresa May looks set to offer
the EU a bigger divorce bill payment | 2:03:00 | 2:03:03 | |
in return for starting trade
talks next month. | 2:03:03 | 2:03:05 | |
The BBC understands the move
was approved at a meeting of senior | 2:03:05 | 2:03:07 | |
Cabinet ministers yesterday. | 2:03:07 | 2:03:11 | |
The UK had been told it
must make more progress | 2:03:11 | 2:03:13 | |
on its financial offer, | 2:03:13 | 2:03:14 | |
if talks are to move
into the next phase. | 2:03:14 | 2:03:18 | |
But political uncertainty
in the EU's most powerful | 2:03:18 | 2:03:20 | |
member, Germany, has
complicated the picture. | 2:03:20 | 2:03:23 | |
There could be new elections there,
following Chancellor Angela Merkel's | 2:03:23 | 2:03:25 | |
failure to form a coalition
government. | 2:03:25 | 2:03:27 | |
We'll speak to Damien McGuinness
in Berlin in a moment. | 2:03:27 | 2:03:30 | |
But first, let's speak
to our political correspondent | 2:03:30 | 2:03:33 | |
Alex Forsyth in Westminster. | 2:03:33 | 2:03:35 | |
Alex, what else came out
of yesterday's meeting? | 2:03:35 | 2:03:43 | |
We know that money has been a
problem in these negotiations. The | 2:03:43 | 2:03:48 | |
EU, put simply, wants the UK to
commit to more. Yesterday, Theresa | 2:03:48 | 2:03:52 | |
May gathered some senior figures to
try to thrash out a negotiating | 2:03:52 | 2:03:56 | |
position and we understand there was
broad agreement that the UK should | 2:03:56 | 2:04:01 | |
up its financial offer but only if
the EU agrees to move on, to talk | 2:04:01 | 2:04:06 | |
trade and transition when EU leaders
next meet in December and we | 2:04:06 | 2:04:09 | |
understand there were no specific
figures discussed. That may be in | 2:04:09 | 2:04:13 | |
part deliberate because the
government does not want to paint | 2:04:13 | 2:04:24 | |
things down too soon but also, they
are concerned they might anger some | 2:04:24 | 2:04:27 | |
on the Conservative backbenches who
don't think the UK should be paying | 2:04:27 | 2:04:29 | |
the EU too much. No doubt number ten
will hope the agreement that has | 2:04:29 | 2:04:32 | |
been reached will help move things
forward in negotiations but as you | 2:04:32 | 2:04:34 | |
say, there is another element now,
the political instability in | 2:04:34 | 2:04:36 | |
Germany. Angela Merkel, the
Chancellor, a key voice around the | 2:04:36 | 2:04:43 | |
negotiating table and try to get a
Brexit deal, and some think the | 2:04:43 | 2:04:47 | |
instability there may make it harder
for an agreement to be reached but | 2:04:47 | 2:04:50 | |
others suggest this could be an
opportunity and any instability | 2:04:50 | 2:04:54 | |
amongst the EU 27 could be a
strength for the UK. Thank you. | 2:04:54 | 2:04:58 | |
Our Correspondent,
Damien McGuinness, is in Berlin. | 2:04:58 | 2:05:01 | |
Listening to what Alex was saying,
there. What is happening in Germany | 2:05:01 | 2:05:07 | |
at the moment, as people will read
in the papers this morning, has a | 2:05:07 | 2:05:10 | |
real impact on the Brexit
negotiations, doesn't it? Yes, | 2:05:10 | 2:05:15 | |
potentially. At the moment in
Germany, it is political stalemate, | 2:05:15 | 2:05:19 | |
the coalition talks have broken down
and today, the president is going to | 2:05:19 | 2:05:23 | |
try to bash some heads together, of
the political leaders and say they | 2:05:23 | 2:05:27 | |
have do get together to form an
agreement and if that does not | 2:05:27 | 2:05:30 | |
happen, we could potentially see
fresh elections which would mean | 2:05:30 | 2:05:33 | |
months of political uncertainty.
There is no guarantee it would have | 2:05:33 | 2:05:36 | |
a direct impact on Brexit because
actually, Berlin has always been of | 2:05:36 | 2:05:40 | |
the opinion that Brussels deals with
London on this. Any attempts by | 2:05:40 | 2:05:47 | |
pro-Brexit MPs to talk directly with
Berlin have always been rebuffed and | 2:05:47 | 2:05:51 | |
German politicians are completely
united in their position on Brexit. | 2:05:51 | 2:05:54 | |
Whatever colour the government ends
up does not really have a direct | 2:05:54 | 2:05:58 | |
impact on the EU stance on Britain
but of course, as Alex correctly | 2:05:58 | 2:06:01 | |
pointed out, any instability within
the EU largest economy -- EU's | 2:06:01 | 2:06:10 | |
largest economy could potentially
mean there's a certain amount of | 2:06:10 | 2:06:12 | |
uncertainty in the EU in general
because the leading country is in a | 2:06:12 | 2:06:16 | |
state of political limbo so it could
have an indirect impact on the | 2:06:16 | 2:06:20 | |
Brexit talks, certainly. Thank you. | 2:06:20 | 2:06:22 | |
We'll speak to Conservative MP
Nigel Evans and Green Party | 2:06:22 | 2:06:24 | |
co-leader Caroline Lucas about this
in a few minutes' time. | 2:06:24 | 2:06:31 | |
In other news, a scheme aimed at
detecting lung cancer early is to be | 2:06:31 | 2:06:35 | |
extended to thousands more patients.
A and nothing views of mobile | 2:06:35 | 2:06:38 | |
scanners in supermarkets and
shopping centres in greater | 2:06:38 | 2:06:41 | |
Manchester was so successful they
are going to try to roll it out for | 2:06:41 | 2:06:44 | |
other parts of the country. Caroline
Rigby has the details. Definitely | 2:06:44 | 2:06:47 | |
saved my life because I could have
gone maybe two or three years. It | 2:06:47 | 2:06:53 | |
would then have spread everywhere.
Michael Brady was diagnosed with | 2:06:53 | 2:06:57 | |
lung cancer thanks to a project
which offered extra screening to | 2:06:57 | 2:07:00 | |
smokers and former smokers in some
of the poorest areas of Manchester. | 2:07:00 | 2:07:04 | |
In an effort to boost early
detection, patients thought to be | 2:07:04 | 2:07:07 | |
most at risk were given CT scan Timo
Boll trucks at supermarkets and | 2:07:07 | 2:07:10 | |
shopping centres. Lung cancer is the
UK's biggest cancer killer, claiming | 2:07:10 | 2:07:17 | |
35,000 lives a year. NHS England
says during the Manchester pilot, | 2:07:17 | 2:07:22 | |
one case was detected every 33
people screamed and four out of five | 2:07:22 | 2:07:26 | |
cases were diagnosed early when the
disease is easier to treat. We have | 2:07:26 | 2:07:33 | |
screening programmes are ready but
people are reluctant because they | 2:07:33 | 2:07:36 | |
are frightened by the C word to come
forward, and lots of people think | 2:07:36 | 2:07:42 | |
"If I don't really think I'll be all
right", when actually it is the | 2:07:42 | 2:07:45 | |
opposite, actually, the more we get
tested appropriately, then that | 2:07:45 | 2:07:48 | |
gives us a chance of survival.
Similar schemes are now being rolled | 2:07:48 | 2:07:52 | |
out in London and other parts of the
north of England. Many have welcomed | 2:07:52 | 2:07:57 | |
the plans but Cancer Research UK
warns that the NHS will need extra | 2:07:57 | 2:08:00 | |
staff to carry out the tests, a
thousands more lives are to be | 2:08:00 | 2:08:04 | |
saved. Caroline Rigby, BBC News. | 2:08:04 | 2:08:10 | |
Robert Mugabe faces no action after
refusing to step down as the | 2:08:10 | 2:08:12 | |
resident of Zimbabwe. The country's
ruling party, Zanu-PF, could ask | 2:08:12 | 2:08:18 | |
parliament to begin legal
proceedings as early as today. | 2:08:18 | 2:08:22 | |
Our correspondent Ben Brown
is in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital. | 2:08:22 | 2:08:25 | |
We talk to you yesterday at this
time so where are we now and is it | 2:08:25 | 2:08:28 | |
clear what is happening with Robert
Mugabe? Welcome it is clear that he | 2:08:28 | 2:08:34 | |
is not resigning, that is for sure,
he refused to resign in the TV | 2:08:34 | 2:08:38 | |
address yesterday, there was a
deadline of midday local time for | 2:08:38 | 2:08:40 | |
him to resign and he just refused
once again to resign. So what is | 2:08:40 | 2:08:44 | |
going to happen today is that in the
parliament just behind me in Harare | 2:08:44 | 2:08:48 | |
is that in about four hours' time,
they will start proceedings to | 2:08:48 | 2:08:52 | |
impeach him, launched by Zanu-PF,
his own party, who want to impeach | 2:08:52 | 2:08:56 | |
him. What will happen if there will
be a vote in parliament on whether | 2:08:56 | 2:09:00 | |
to launch proceedings. If they agree
to do that, they will set up a | 2:09:00 | 2:09:04 | |
committee to investigate Mr Mugabe.
There are various charges under the | 2:09:04 | 2:09:07 | |
constitution under which he can be
impeached, serious misconduct in | 2:09:07 | 2:09:12 | |
office, incapacity, violation of the
Constitution and so on. If that | 2:09:12 | 2:09:15 | |
committee recommends you should be
impeached, they take a vote on it, | 2:09:15 | 2:09:24 | |
it would need a two thirds majority
in both Houses of Parliament. At the | 2:09:24 | 2:09:27 | |
moment, it is not clear that Zanu-PF
and the people who want to get rid | 2:09:27 | 2:09:30 | |
of Mr Mugabe would have a clear
majority. Zanu-PF would have to work | 2:09:30 | 2:09:32 | |
with opposition parties and at the
moment they are saying they would | 2:09:32 | 2:09:35 | |
want to extract a price, concessions
from Zanu-PF in terms of free and | 2:09:35 | 2:09:38 | |
fair elections next year. It isn't
by any means certain that he will be | 2:09:38 | 2:09:42 | |
impeached but those who think he
could be say it could all be over in | 2:09:42 | 2:09:45 | |
a couple of days. OK, Ben Brown,
thank you for your analysis. | 2:09:45 | 2:09:51 | |
Staff employed by an outsourcing
company are asking a tribunal | 2:09:51 | 2:09:54 | |
to rule that they have the right
to negotiate better terms | 2:09:54 | 2:09:56 | |
and conditions with the University
of London where they work. | 2:09:56 | 2:09:59 | |
The landmark case has
implications for more | 2:09:59 | 2:10:00 | |
than three million workers
in the UK's business | 2:10:00 | 2:10:02 | |
services industry. | 2:10:02 | 2:10:07 | |
They are hired through facilities
companies. | 2:10:07 | 2:10:15 | |
The university says it doesn't | 2:10:15 | 2:10:16 | |
employ any of the workers | 2:10:16 | 2:10:19 | |
and doesn't accept their concept
of "joint employment". | 2:10:19 | 2:10:21 | |
Young Persons Railcards,
which provide discounted rail travel | 2:10:21 | 2:10:23 | |
to people between the ages of 16
and 25, are to be | 2:10:23 | 2:10:25 | |
extended to 30-year-olds. | 2:10:25 | 2:10:27 | |
The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,
is set to announce the change | 2:10:27 | 2:10:29 | |
in Wednesday's Budget. | 2:10:29 | 2:10:32 | |
Does that mean 30 is classed as a
young person these days? Yes! That | 2:10:32 | 2:10:38 | |
is good news! It is! | 2:10:38 | 2:10:40 | |
Things didn't go according to plan
for one unfortunate cameraman | 2:10:40 | 2:10:42 | |
waiting to capture the moment
the old Georgia Dome | 2:10:42 | 2:10:44 | |
sports stadium in Atlanta,
Georgia was demolished. | 2:10:44 | 2:10:48 | |
He was all set up for the shot,
when this happened. | 2:10:48 | 2:10:52 | |
It is a great setup. Good shot, he
has framed it nicely. That is the | 2:10:52 | 2:10:59 | |
stadium and the explosion, it's
about to implode. But we're not | 2:10:59 | 2:11:02 | |
going to watch it. | 2:11:02 | 2:11:03 | |
A bus pulled right in
front of the camera, | 2:11:03 | 2:11:05 | |
completely obscuring his view. | 2:11:05 | 2:11:06 | |
Needless to say he wasn't too happy
- we've bleeped out what he says. | 2:11:06 | 2:11:11 | |
I really think he has not set that
up well enough. Surely he knows he | 2:11:11 | 2:11:17 | |
is on a thoroughfare, there's a
possibility of bus. But what are the | 2:11:17 | 2:11:21 | |
chances of the bus coming to an old
at that exact moment? And there it | 2:11:21 | 2:11:25 | |
is, the moment lost, the stadium was
gone. | 2:11:25 | 2:11:30 | |
When any long-term relationship
comes to an end, it can be a rather | 2:11:31 | 2:11:34 | |
complicated process to divide
up the assets. | 2:11:34 | 2:11:36 | |
And it seems the Brexit divorce
bill is no different. | 2:11:36 | 2:11:43 | |
The BBC understands there's
broad agreement among | 2:11:43 | 2:11:45 | |
ministers that Britain should
increase its financial offer | 2:11:45 | 2:11:50 | |
to the EU. | 2:11:50 | 2:11:53 | |
But it seems that everyone is happy
about that. | 2:11:53 | 2:11:56 | |
Joining us from Westminster
are the Conservative MP and Brexit | 2:11:56 | 2:11:58 | |
supporter Nigel Evans,
and Green Party co-leader | 2:11:58 | 2:12:00 | |
and remainer Caroline Lucas. | 2:12:00 | 2:12:05 | |
Thank you for joining us. To bring
people up to date, apparently an | 2:12:05 | 2:12:10 | |
agreement in principle last night
with senior Cabinet figures to | 2:12:10 | 2:12:14 | |
increase what we believe the £20
billion divorce payment up | 2:12:14 | 2:12:17 | |
somewhere, not entirely sure what
the figure might be, but I'm | 2:12:17 | 2:12:20 | |
assuming both of you are not happy
about this but for slightly | 2:12:20 | 2:12:24 | |
different reasons. Nigel, let's
start with you. It's not that I'm | 2:12:24 | 2:12:28 | |
unhappy. It was only a month ago
that Jeremy Corbyn was marching | 2:12:28 | 2:12:31 | |
towards Brussels with cap in hand to
see Michel Barnier, and the cap was | 2:12:31 | 2:12:35 | |
full of British taxpayers money and
he was prepared to pay anything in | 2:12:35 | 2:12:38 | |
order to access the single market.
What we have got is a negotiation | 2:12:38 | 2:12:45 | |
about what our contractual
obligations happen to be. The 20 | 2:12:45 | 2:12:48 | |
billion that was referred to a few
weeks ago which was agreed by the | 2:12:48 | 2:12:53 | |
British Cabinet refers to a
traditional arrangement over two | 2:12:53 | 2:12:56 | |
years and 20 billion is roughly what
we would be putting in. The amount | 2:12:56 | 2:13:00 | |
above that would then relate to any
contractual obligations leading to | 2:13:00 | 2:13:04 | |
pensions, projects we have signed up
to, that will last way beyond when | 2:13:04 | 2:13:09 | |
we leave the European Union. I don't
think anyone has got a problem with | 2:13:09 | 2:13:12 | |
that. What we do have a problem with
his paying any ransom money that | 2:13:12 | 2:13:15 | |
Michel Barnier is asking for, simply
for us to exit the EU. We have got | 2:13:15 | 2:13:21 | |
the budget tomorrow and Phillip
Hammond will no doubt be telling us | 2:13:21 | 2:13:24 | |
how economic league and -- are
economically constrained years by | 2:13:24 | 2:13:30 | |
what he can do but he can't then be
shovelling shed. Money towards | 2:13:30 | 2:13:34 | |
Brussels while ignoring that money
could be going towards British | 2:13:34 | 2:13:37 | |
public services in schools and
hospitals throughout the UK. It's | 2:13:37 | 2:13:44 | |
got to relate to what our
contractual obligations happened to | 2:13:44 | 2:13:46 | |
be and yes it is about 20 billion.
Are we being held to ransom? I don't | 2:13:46 | 2:13:52 | |
think we are being held to ransom, I
think the language about shovelling | 2:13:52 | 2:13:55 | |
shed loads of money is pretty
intemperate and let's not forget | 2:13:55 | 2:13:58 | |
that Nigel his fellow band of Brexit
campaigners never told us during the | 2:13:58 | 2:14:04 | |
referendum campaign that this money
would need to be paid. Of course, it | 2:14:04 | 2:14:07 | |
was always clear that it would need
to be paid but I don't think the | 2:14:07 | 2:14:10 | |
British public was ever really told
about that. It has to be about the | 2:14:10 | 2:14:15 | |
contractual obligations. In any real
divorce, what happens is you have to | 2:14:15 | 2:14:18 | |
look at who owns what and you
separate it out. I must say, I'm | 2:14:18 | 2:14:22 | |
very glad that if anyone was in a
real divorce with Nigel, they would | 2:14:22 | 2:14:26 | |
have a pretty hard time grabbing
hold of his record collection and | 2:14:26 | 2:14:29 | |
not letting any bits ago. Not my
record collection! The bottom line | 2:14:29 | 2:14:34 | |
is, if you go in the pub and you
order around and then you decide you | 2:14:34 | 2:14:37 | |
don't want them and walk out, you
still have to pay to them. That is | 2:14:37 | 2:14:42 | |
common sense. It is all about the
quantity of money at the end of the | 2:14:42 | 2:14:45 | |
day, Dan. I can understand people
like Caroline being disappointed | 2:14:45 | 2:14:50 | |
with the way the British people
voted but I can't understand why | 2:14:50 | 2:14:53 | |
they then take a position that they
wouldn't be prepared to almost give | 2:14:53 | 2:14:56 | |
Brussels -- they would be prepared
to give Brussels any sum of money in | 2:14:56 | 2:15:00 | |
order to access the single market.
Have I said that? You want access to | 2:15:00 | 2:15:04 | |
the single market, don't you? I do
but that is not about what this | 2:15:04 | 2:15:08 | |
money is, Nigel is confusing to
things, we have to settle the bill | 2:15:08 | 2:15:12 | |
for what is already contractually
arranged, first, for things we have | 2:15:12 | 2:15:15 | |
said we will pay for like pensions,
staff in Brussels, our own staff. | 2:15:15 | 2:15:20 | |
There is a separate debate is now
about access to the single market | 2:15:20 | 2:15:23 | |
and the customs union and so on.
Those are two different things and | 2:15:23 | 2:15:27 | |
as long as they keep muddling up it
gets more confusing. We're not | 2:15:27 | 2:15:31 | |
muddling them up, I've agreed that
the contractual payments but then we | 2:15:31 | 2:15:35 | |
move onto exactly how much money
then above that may be paid at I'm | 2:15:35 | 2:15:39 | |
saying about that, absolutely
nothing ought to be paid because we | 2:15:39 | 2:15:41 | |
are leaving the single market.
Caroline wants to stay in the single | 2:15:41 | 2:15:45 | |
market. But that is a separate
debate. It is but you would be | 2:15:45 | 2:15:50 | |
prepared to give taxpayers money to
access the single market. Over and | 2:15:50 | 2:15:53 | |
above. What I'm clear is that I want
to stay inside the single market | 2:15:53 | 2:15:57 | |
because the economic benefits also
manifest. Just this week we've | 2:15:57 | 2:16:00 | |
already had another reporter telling
us families are going to be £400 | 2:16:00 | 2:16:04 | |
worse off this year already as a
result of inflation caused by higher | 2:16:04 | 2:16:08 | |
prices, caused by the pound going
down, caused by the prospect of | 2:16:08 | 2:16:12 | |
Brexit. So families are going to be
an awful lot less well off as a | 2:16:12 | 2:16:15 | |
result of Brexit already. Add that
to the way in which this government | 2:16:15 | 2:16:21 | |
is negotiating. It is an absolute
nightmare. We have seen 1000 jobs | 2:16:21 | 2:16:24 | |
lost just yesterday... Can I get a
word in? | 2:16:24 | 2:16:30 | |
I'm enjoying listening to the pair
of you. We were speaking to our | 2:16:35 | 2:16:39 | |
correspondent in Berlin this
morning, talking about how the | 2:16:39 | 2:16:42 | |
situation in Germany might affect
what's happening here. I wonder what | 2:16:42 | 2:16:44 | |
your take is on that, Nigel? Well, I
was in Berlin over the weekend and | 2:16:44 | 2:16:52 | |
clearly, it's always said that
Britain is standing on the cliff | 2:16:52 | 2:16:55 | |
edge, now it is the Chancellor of
Germany, Angela Merkel, that's | 2:16:55 | 2:16:59 | |
standing on the cliff edge.
Three-quarters of a million jobs are | 2:16:59 | 2:17:04 | |
dependant on the car industry. Every
year they send us Mercedes-Benz and | 2:17:04 | 2:17:09 | |
they will want to carry on doing
that. If we are going to go into | 2:17:09 | 2:17:14 | |
another German election it doesn't
give me any joy to look at the | 2:17:14 | 2:17:17 | |
weakness of what is happening in
Germany, but the fact is we are in a | 2:17:17 | 2:17:21 | |
stronger position where we can say
to Germany, we want to carry on | 2:17:21 | 2:17:24 | |
importing your cars into the UK and
this will be no doubt part of the | 2:17:24 | 2:17:28 | |
next German elections that are about
to take place. You won't be | 2:17:28 | 2:17:32 | |
surprised I disagree with that. The
think the weakness of Angela Merkel | 2:17:32 | 2:17:35 | |
is bad news in terms of us wanting
to get a decent deal because it | 2:17:35 | 2:17:39 | |
means her attention is going to be
understandably diverted. Up until | 2:17:39 | 2:17:44 | |
now, she has been a pragmatic
politician and wanted the UK to stay | 2:17:44 | 2:17:49 | |
as close as possible and get a good
deal, my worry is she will be | 2:17:49 | 2:17:53 | |
diverted on to her own domestic
issues and that means the timetable | 2:17:53 | 2:17:57 | |
will slip more and the chances of us
getting a good deal and the time | 2:17:57 | 2:18:01 | |
frame is receding rapidly. I met a
chap out in Germany who was British. | 2:18:01 | 2:18:05 | |
Seven years he has been working in
Germany. And he wanted to know | 2:18:05 | 2:18:09 | |
whether he will be able to stay
there when we leave the European | 2:18:09 | 2:18:12 | |
Union. This is the one thing that I
can't understand why Michel Barnier | 2:18:12 | 2:18:18 | |
and Juncker have not been able to
come to a deal. We have held out the | 2:18:18 | 2:18:22 | |
hands of friendship and said we want
EU citizens to carry on working and | 2:18:22 | 2:18:26 | |
living in the UK as long as British
citizens working and living in the | 2:18:26 | 2:18:29 | |
EU can do the same. You are on
another planet, Nigel. They should | 2:18:29 | 2:18:35 | |
be able to say yes. Our deal for the
EU citizens in our country is less | 2:18:35 | 2:18:40 | |
generous than the one which the EU
offered us. It is us who have to | 2:18:40 | 2:18:44 | |
move here. It is getting really
tiresome to hear you blame Brussels | 2:18:44 | 2:18:50 | |
for everything. Michel Barnier's
foot is on the brake and I'm | 2:18:50 | 2:18:55 | |
cheering him on. I'm cheering on the
British Prime Minister to get a good | 2:18:55 | 2:18:58 | |
deal. No, you're undermining British
families around the country who are | 2:18:58 | 2:19:02 | |
going to see their pockets reduced.
Do you want to come back in, Dan? Do | 2:19:02 | 2:19:06 | |
you want to go and have breakfast
together you two? You're getting on | 2:19:06 | 2:19:10 | |
so well!
I will have a great British | 2:19:10 | 2:19:14 | |
breakfast whilst Caroline no doubt
has one of those German sausages! | 2:19:14 | 2:19:18 | |
I'm a vegetarian you will be pleased
to know! | 2:19:18 | 2:19:22 | |
It is a really interesting debate to
see the difference in opinion. I'm | 2:19:22 | 2:19:26 | |
sure people are interested watching
that at home as well. Nigel Evans | 2:19:26 | 2:19:29 | |
and Caroline Lucas, thank you for
your time. They will, I'm sure, go | 2:19:29 | 2:19:33 | |
off and share a coffee together.
They're smiling! | 2:19:33 | 2:19:41 | |
We have been talking about the
Regent Street Christmas lights. Here | 2:19:41 | 2:19:45 | |
is how the switch on was reported in
1957. | 2:19:45 | 2:19:49 | |
The Mayor of Westminster is ready to
switch on one of the London's big | 2:19:49 | 2:19:54 | |
Christmas displays. The Regent
Street decorations. Things have | 2:19:54 | 2:19:59 | |
changed a bit, haven't they? Just a
little. This is what it looks like | 2:19:59 | 2:20:05 | |
this morning with Carol Kirkwood.
The lights looked gorgeous earlier | 2:20:05 | 2:20:08 | |
in the... In the dark... In the
dark! They were twinkling away. They | 2:20:08 | 2:20:14 | |
were gorgeous. | 2:20:14 | 2:20:15 | |
dark! They were twinkling away. They
were gorgeous. They are come priced | 2:20:15 | 2:20:18 | |
of 300,000LED lights. It is the
capital's largest festive display | 2:20:18 | 2:20:22 | |
and they are on all night as well.
As you said they were lit here, it | 2:20:22 | 2:20:26 | |
was the first street to be lit in
1954 and then other streets followed | 2:20:26 | 2:20:29 | |
on. Now, what we have this morning
is a mild start to the day. It is | 2:20:29 | 2:20:34 | |
also a breezy one and the forecast
for most of us is a cloudy and mild | 2:20:34 | 2:20:38 | |
one with rain at times. Some of us
already have some rain. More notably | 2:20:38 | 2:20:42 | |
at the moment across northern
England and also Scotland. As we go | 2:20:42 | 2:20:45 | |
through the course of the day, we
hang on to a lot of cloud and then a | 2:20:45 | 2:20:49 | |
new band of rain will swing in from
the west. That band won't be as | 2:20:49 | 2:20:53 | |
heavy as the one we currently have.
Where we have got the cloud is thick | 2:20:53 | 2:20:57 | |
enough for the odd spot. It is a
grey start and into the afternoon | 2:20:57 | 2:21:00 | |
you will notice that as the rain
moves northwards, across Scotland, | 2:21:00 | 2:21:04 | |
it won't necessarily brighten up
across the southern uplands, it will | 2:21:04 | 2:21:07 | |
dry up and still be fairly cloudy.
Temperature wise in Glasgow and | 2:21:07 | 2:21:11 | |
Edinburgh this afternoon, around
about 11 to 13 Celsius. For northern | 2:21:11 | 2:21:15 | |
England, by then we will have the
rain coming in from the west, | 2:21:15 | 2:21:19 | |
crossing the Pennines, not
particularly heavy, brighter across | 2:21:19 | 2:21:21 | |
the north-east. Some of that rain
extending into the North Midlands, | 2:21:21 | 2:21:25 | |
but becoming south of that for East
Anglia, Essex and Kent and the south | 2:21:25 | 2:21:29 | |
Midlands and into the south-west,
again, a lot of cloud around, thick | 2:21:29 | 2:21:32 | |
enough for the odd spot of light
rain here and there. For Wales, this | 2:21:32 | 2:21:37 | |
afternoon, you'll have rain. When
it's not raining it will be cloudy, | 2:21:37 | 2:21:40 | |
but we could see some brightness in
the shelter of the hills. For | 2:21:40 | 2:21:44 | |
Northern Ireland, the rain just to
the south of you, but the cloud is | 2:21:44 | 2:21:47 | |
thick enough for the odd spot. The
brightest skies will be in the | 2:21:47 | 2:21:50 | |
north. But it is going to be another
unseasonably mild day for the bulk | 2:21:50 | 2:21:55 | |
of the UK, away from north-east
Scotland. Now as we head through the | 2:21:55 | 2:21:59 | |
evening and overnight, we have two
bands of rain. The heaviest of which | 2:21:59 | 2:22:02 | |
is across the north of Scotland.
That will produce wintry showers | 2:22:02 | 2:22:06 | |
coming in on an easterly wind across
the Northern Isles and here too the | 2:22:06 | 2:22:10 | |
wind will strengthen, touching gales
and even severe gales with exposure. | 2:22:10 | 2:22:14 | |
For the rest of us, it is going to
be a largely mild night. | 2:22:14 | 2:22:18 | |
Temperatures staying in double
figures. So tomorrow, we start off | 2:22:18 | 2:22:21 | |
with the rain across the north and
the west. Through the day, that will | 2:22:21 | 2:22:25 | |
be very slowly moving eastwards. But
a feature of tomorrow's weather will | 2:22:25 | 2:22:28 | |
be the win. It's going to be a windy
day for most of us. The wind | 2:22:28 | 2:22:32 | |
strengthening particularly in the
west and across southern counties | 2:22:32 | 2:22:35 | |
and in some western areas, we are
looking at gusts to gale force, | 2:22:35 | 2:22:39 | |
possibly with exposure and severe
gales, but where it remains dry, we | 2:22:39 | 2:22:42 | |
are looking at highs of 15 Celsius.
By the time we get to Thursday, the | 2:22:42 | 2:22:45 | |
rain will be careering down into the
South East and clearing away. A new | 2:22:45 | 2:22:48 | |
band later in the day will be coming
up from the south-west. In between | 2:22:48 | 2:22:52 | |
there will be a lot of dry weather,
but if you are in Scotland, again | 2:22:52 | 2:22:55 | |
the Highlands and the Grampians, we
have got rain from the word go and | 2:22:55 | 2:22:58 | |
slow down to road level. So
something to consider if you are | 2:22:58 | 2:23:01 | |
travelling. If you note the
temperatures the cooler weather is | 2:23:01 | 2:23:04 | |
filtering that bit further south. It
is the far south of England that | 2:23:04 | 2:23:08 | |
hangs on to double figures. So Lou
and Dan, change is a foot. | 2:23:08 | 2:23:13 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 2:23:13 | 2:23:15 | |
When you go out shopping, is there
enough seats? | 2:23:24 | 2:23:36 | |
A quarter of older people feel
excluded from our high streets. John | 2:23:36 | 2:23:42 | |
Maguire has been to find out more. | 2:23:42 | 2:23:46 | |
Will you walk around
Sainsbury's, or sit down? | 2:23:46 | 2:23:48 | |
Sit down. | 2:23:48 | 2:23:49 | |
Clive and Margaret enjoy getting out
and about in their local town | 2:23:49 | 2:23:52 | |
of Fleet in Hampshire. | 2:23:52 | 2:23:53 | |
If you're tired, sit down. | 2:23:53 | 2:23:54 | |
It's OK. | 2:23:54 | 2:23:56 | |
They like exercise, the fresh air
and the chance to see | 2:23:56 | 2:23:59 | |
what they're buying. | 2:23:59 | 2:24:00 | |
That looks nice, that lemon cake. | 2:24:00 | 2:24:03 | |
It's nice to choose your own fruit
and vegetables, rather than have | 2:24:03 | 2:24:07 | |
them delivered and get the wrong
number or the wrong variety. | 2:24:07 | 2:24:11 | |
But, also very important,
somewhere to sit down and take | 2:24:11 | 2:24:13 | |
the weight off their feet. | 2:24:13 | 2:24:16 | |
Would you choose a supermarket that
had seating over one that didn't? | 2:24:16 | 2:24:20 | |
Yes, we would, because we wouldn't
want to stand for half an hour. | 2:24:20 | 2:24:29 | |
Some of them you have to wander
around and stand forever, you know. | 2:24:29 | 2:24:33 | |
The Anchor Trust, which houses older
people, says access to the high | 2:24:33 | 2:24:35 | |
street is a real concern
and as the population ages, | 2:24:35 | 2:24:38 | |
also a growing one. | 2:24:38 | 2:24:46 | |
Potentially retailers are missing
out on £4.5 billion a year | 2:24:46 | 2:24:51 | |
by 2030 by not providing adequate
seating, so this talk about the high | 2:24:51 | 2:24:54 | |
streets kind of dying,
and the death of the high | 2:24:54 | 2:24:56 | |
street, is premature. | 2:24:56 | 2:24:58 | |
And, actually, there is a really big
opportunity for retailers to provide | 2:24:58 | 2:25:00 | |
seats for shoppers of the future. | 2:25:00 | 2:25:04 | |
The charity asked 1,000 over-70s
for their views on going shopping. | 2:25:04 | 2:25:10 | |
Almost a quarter of the people
questioned by the survey, 23%, | 2:25:10 | 2:25:16 | |
in fact, said that they
felt excluded from | 2:25:16 | 2:25:18 | |
the modern high street. | 2:25:18 | 2:25:19 | |
"Unexpected item
in the bagging area." | 2:25:19 | 2:25:22 | |
Around 24% people are put off
with these self-scan machines. | 2:25:22 | 2:25:26 | |
And are there enough places to sit
down in towns and cities centres? | 2:25:26 | 2:25:30 | |
Well, 60% of people thought not. | 2:25:30 | 2:25:35 | |
So the charity has
launched this idea - | 2:25:35 | 2:25:37 | |
standing up for sitting down. | 2:25:37 | 2:25:38 | |
It's backed by large chains,
including Sainsburys, | 2:25:38 | 2:25:41 | |
Morrisons and Debenhams,
and more than 200 independent shops. | 2:25:41 | 2:25:45 | |
So, this is our chair,
and we have it for anybody that | 2:25:45 | 2:25:49 | |
comes into the shop,
used often for our older guests | 2:25:49 | 2:25:52 | |
and customers if they want to sit
down and have a break | 2:25:52 | 2:26:00 | |
while they are shopping. | 2:26:00 | 2:26:01 | |
Even if it is a tiny thing,
it is really important so they can | 2:26:01 | 2:26:05 | |
take a break if they want to. | 2:26:05 | 2:26:06 | |
And the campaign says it benefits
both older shoppers and retailers, | 2:26:06 | 2:26:09 | |
aiming to see some of the grey
pounds spent online coming back | 2:26:09 | 2:26:12 | |
into high street tills. | 2:26:12 | 2:26:15 | |
I like an old sit down every now and
again just to watch the world go by. | 2:26:19 | 2:26:24 | |
My purpose of going to the shops...
Is get in and get out. Get what you | 2:26:24 | 2:26:29 | |
need and get out of there. | 2:26:29 | 2:26:31 | |
The British Retail Consortium says
retailers have been working to bring | 2:26:31 | 2:26:34 | |
in seating and other initiatives
to make high streets | 2:26:34 | 2:26:36 | |
accessible for people
in all parts of the community. | 2:26:36 | 2:26:41 | |
Let us know what you think about
that. You can get in contact about | 2:26:41 | 2:26:47 | |
Christmas decorations and putting
them up earlier, does it make you | 2:26:47 | 2:26:49 | |
happier? Well, according to
psychologists, it can make you feel | 2:26:49 | 2:26:54 | |
happier. Thank you for your views on
that. | 2:26:54 | 2:26:58 | |
You're watching Breakfast. | 2:26:58 | 2:26:59 | |
Still to come this morning. | 2:26:59 | 2:27:02 | |
He was one of the quickest players

More of the stories I mentioned on
BBC radio London with Vanessa and I | 2:30:37 | 2:30:41 | |
will be back on BBC radio London --
BBC London just after nine o'clock. | 2:30:41 | 2:30:51 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 2:30:51 | 2:30:54 | |
Let's get you up-to-date on the
latest headlines. Theresa May looks | 2:30:54 | 2:30:57 | |
set to offer the EU a bigger divorce
bill payment in turn for trade | 2:30:57 | 2:31:04 | |
talks. Understanding is the go-ahead
was given during a senior cabinet | 2:31:04 | 2:31:08 | |
meeting. The Government is expected
to | 2:31:08 | 2:31:09 | |
meeting. The Government is expected
to put the offer to the EU later | 2:31:09 | 2:31:11 | |
this week Britain were told they
must make more progress if talks | 2:31:11 | 2:31:16 | |
were to move onto the next phase.
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel | 2:31:16 | 2:31:21 | |
said she would prefer to call a snap
election rather than read a minority | 2:31:21 | 2:31:27 | |
government. She was speaking after
four weeks of coalition discussions | 2:31:27 | 2:31:31 | |
collapsed on Sunday, leaving the
nation in a political crisis. Lung | 2:31:31 | 2:31:36 | |
cancer screenings will be offered at
shopping centres and supermarket in | 2:31:36 | 2:31:40 | |
some areas of England as part of a
drive to speed up diagnosis. The | 2:31:40 | 2:31:44 | |
pilot scheme which targeted smokers
and former smokers in Manchester saw | 2:31:44 | 2:31:47 | |
a significant rise in early
detection rates. There was a | 2:31:47 | 2:31:50 | |
fourfold increase in the number of
cases found at stage one or two, | 2:31:50 | 2:31:54 | |
when the disease is far more easily
treated. | 2:31:54 | 2:32:03 | |
It has been 37 years
since Robert Mugabe was installed | 2:32:03 | 2:32:05 | |
as President of Zimbabwe. | 2:32:05 | 2:32:06 | |
This could be the week that
finally sees him fall. | 2:32:06 | 2:32:08 | |
The military last night
talked of a "road map" - | 2:32:08 | 2:32:11 | |
a plan for a transition of power. | 2:32:11 | 2:32:13 | |
In the country's parliament
impechment proceedings | 2:32:13 | 2:32:14 | |
could begin against him today. | 2:32:14 | 2:32:15 | |
Our world affairs editor
John Simpson joins us | 2:32:15 | 2:32:17 | |
from our Oxford studio. | 2:32:17 | 2:32:18 | |
Thanks for joining us. You are
uniquely placed to give us some | 2:32:18 | 2:32:21 | |
perspective on all of this. What do
you think is going to happen? Well, | 2:32:21 | 2:32:23 | |
I assume that Mugabe will be
impeached later today, and there is | 2:32:23 | 2:32:27 | |
this weird thing that he has called
a Cabinet meeting, and insisted that | 2:32:27 | 2:32:32 | |
every minister should be there, but
at the same time the parliament and | 2:32:32 | 2:32:36 | |
his own party, Zanu-PF, is preparing
to impeach him, so I think by the | 2:32:36 | 2:32:45 | |
end of the day we will see the
impeachment process started, and it | 2:32:45 | 2:32:51 | |
could be dart-mac I don't know how
it is going to be, because it has | 2:32:51 | 2:32:54 | |
never happened before in Zimbabwe,
for obvious reasons, but it could be | 2:32:54 | 2:32:59 | |
that the process will go through
quite quickly -- and it could be... | 2:32:59 | 2:33:07 | |
I don't live it is going to be. It
could be that the Zanu-PF party and | 2:33:07 | 2:33:15 | |
opposition parties are all fully in
favour so that should mean he is | 2:33:15 | 2:33:18 | |
out. I have known Robert Mugabe and
watched him so much the last 30 | 2:33:18 | 2:33:22 | |
years. There is always a little
sting in the tail. He always has | 2:33:22 | 2:33:29 | |
some way of getting round things,
and of just spoiling what the other | 2:33:29 | 2:33:34 | |
side is trying to do. You have met
him several times as well. How will | 2:33:34 | 2:33:38 | |
he be reacting, do you think, to all
of this? Well, I think is probably | 2:33:38 | 2:33:45 | |
actually a bit stunned by it. He is
93, and he has been very kind of | 2:33:45 | 2:33:51 | |
protected by his wife, the famously
dreadful Grace Mugabe, and her G40 | 2:33:51 | 2:34:07 | |
group have gathered round him. They
are finished now but up until fairly | 2:34:07 | 2:34:11 | |
recently they were protecting him
quite strongly. I don't know that he | 2:34:11 | 2:34:14 | |
will even know the strength of the
opposition to him, and the fact | 2:34:14 | 2:34:18 | |
that, you know, the people don't
want him. I watched various | 2:34:18 | 2:34:24 | |
dictators over the years fall, and
they all seem... I mean, Getafe, in | 2:34:24 | 2:34:33 | |
Romania as well, they all think that
people love them right up until the | 2:34:33 | 2:34:36 | |
moment when they get executed. --
Colonel Gaddafi. Let's talk about | 2:34:36 | 2:34:41 | |
what has been going on the streets.
There have been many thousands of | 2:34:41 | 2:34:45 | |
people in the street so far but it
seems to have been peaceful? | 2:34:45 | 2:34:51 | |
You have to realise, and it is part
of our ignorance, I think, often, | 2:34:51 | 2:34:55 | |
you have to realise what a peaceful
country Zimbabwe actually is. | 2:34:55 | 2:35:02 | |
In Britain we remember those
appalling farm invasions and so on, | 2:35:02 | 2:35:07 | |
and we tend to think that firstly,
that is still going on, which it | 2:35:07 | 2:35:12 | |
certainly isn't, and secondly, that
the country as a whole is a kind of | 2:35:12 | 2:35:16 | |
seething resentful angry place.
Nothing could be further from the | 2:35:16 | 2:35:20 | |
truth. Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans are
really gentle law-abiding peaceful | 2:35:20 | 2:35:28 | |
people, by and large, and so if the
fullest extent of their resentment | 2:35:28 | 2:35:40 | |
is just to have prayer meetings in
the centre of Harare, for instance, | 2:35:40 | 2:35:44 | |
and to parade through the streets
calling for Mugabe to go, but not | 2:35:44 | 2:35:49 | |
smashing anything, not looking for
people to be top. It is a very | 2:35:49 | 2:35:53 | |
gentle place. OK, John Simpson, our
world affairs editor, thank you very | 2:35:53 | 2:35:59 | |
much -- not looking for people to
beat up. | 2:35:59 | 2:36:12 | |
Vladimir Putin plans to meet the
leaders of Turkey and Iran tomorrow. | 2:36:20 | 2:36:33 | |
EasyJet have a fall in profits of
about 17%, and this is not a shock | 2:36:37 | 2:36:41 | |
given the kind of environment the
airline industry is working at the | 2:36:41 | 2:36:44 | |
moment, because we have seen lots of
problems with Monarch, air Berlin, | 2:36:44 | 2:36:52 | |
Alitalia, and of course you have had
the Ryanair problems as well. I | 2:36:52 | 2:36:56 | |
asked Karen McCall whether it was a
tough environment to be in at the | 2:36:56 | 2:36:59 | |
moment. A tough business, and 24/7,
it is relentless, you're constantly | 2:36:59 | 2:37:05 | |
looking at everything going on, a
lot of factors, so it has been | 2:37:05 | 2:37:09 | |
extremely tough, and extremely tough
the last two years. Combination of | 2:37:09 | 2:37:14 | |
events. Brexit, the re-evaluation of
the pound, and we buy our dollars, | 2:37:14 | 2:37:18 | |
it is a huge hit. Currencies have
been huge thing because of the fall | 2:37:18 | 2:37:22 | |
in the value of the pound, and the
buying in dollars as she said means | 2:37:22 | 2:37:26 | |
they have been hit hard by that.
What as interesting as she speaks | 2:37:26 | 2:37:30 | |
about their figures being robust,
and they have done quite well with | 2:37:30 | 2:37:33 | |
the rest of the industry is
struggling, so the bot off a bit of | 2:37:33 | 2:37:42 | |
Air Berlin, and they have increased
their capacity because of the likes | 2:37:42 | 2:37:45 | |
of Ryanair not being able to fill
their flights, Monarch going bust | 2:37:45 | 2:37:49 | |
and all of that, all of that has
helped easyJet so their figures are | 2:37:49 | 2:37:53 | |
quite robust even though she said it
is a challenging environment. Seven | 2:37:53 | 2:37:56 | |
years as the boss of easyJet, but
she will now be the boss of ITV, so | 2:37:56 | 2:38:02 | |
an interesting move for her. She is
one of those bosses as well that | 2:38:02 | 2:38:05 | |
everyone seems to love, wants to be
the boss of their company, so it | 2:38:05 | 2:38:08 | |
will be interesting to see what she
does at ITV next. Hopefully not | 2:38:08 | 2:38:13 | |
increase their figures from us, but
you never know! No chance! Thank | 2:38:13 | 2:38:18 | |
you! TV presenter Paul Hollywood has
accused his former bake off | 2:38:18 | 2:38:26 | |
colleagues including Mary Berry of
abandoning the show. Mary Bell | 2:38:26 | 2:38:30 | |
leader -- Buried along with Mel and
Sue, you will remember, left the | 2:38:30 | 2:38:39 | |
show. He said his decision to stay
with the show was not fun and he | 2:38:39 | 2:38:43 | |
said he became the most hated man in
the country. Aw. It is 8:38am. | 2:38:43 | 2:38:49 | |
Coming up on Breakfast this morning: | 2:38:49 | 2:38:51 | |
With extreme stunts and slam dunks,
the Harlem Globetrotters | 2:38:51 | 2:38:53 | |
have entertained fans
for almost a century. | 2:38:53 | 2:38:55 | |
Two members of the team have
been warming up for us | 2:38:55 | 2:38:57 | |
this morning and will be
here to share their moves. | 2:38:57 | 2:39:07 | |
They will be speaking to us on the
sofa in a moment. | 2:39:07 | 2:39:10 | |
From festive adverts
to music in the shops, | 2:39:10 | 2:39:12 | |
it may seem like Christmas comes
earlier every year. | 2:39:12 | 2:39:14 | |
But could putting your decorations
up in November actually | 2:39:14 | 2:39:16 | |
make you feel happier? | 2:39:16 | 2:39:23 | |

She has a big voice and she's
using it to tackle big issues. | 2:39:26 | 2:39:29 | |
Paloma Faith will be here to tell us
how she's using music to explore | 2:39:29 | 2:39:32 | |
modern society and politics. | 2:39:32 | 2:39:41 | |
It is about five past nine. She will
be here... Are you trying to do | 2:39:41 | 2:39:46 | |
maths?
LAUGHTER | 2:39:46 | 2:39:47 | |
Coming up soon! I was just having a
little chat to the Globetrotters | 2:39:47 | 2:39:58 | |
outside, and they have plans for
you! Keep watching, everybody! He is | 2:39:58 | 2:40:02 | |
nervous now! | 2:40:02 | 2:40:08 | |
Some ball spinning? Potential! Mike
Ashley's time over Newcastle United | 2:40:08 | 2:40:14 | |
could be coming to an end. A British
firm led by Amanda stably has | 2:40:14 | 2:40:19 | |
launched a takeover bid in the
region of £300 million. Newcastle | 2:40:19 | 2:40:23 | |
are yet to comment publicly on the
news. Brighton twice came from | 2:40:23 | 2:40:29 | |
behind to deny Stoke all three
points at Alnwick Stadium in the | 2:40:29 | 2:40:32 | |
Premier League last night. Stoke
took the lead through Choupo-Moting | 2:40:32 | 2:40:41 | |
-- at the a max Stadium. -- Amex.
There are now unbeaten in five | 2:40:41 | 2:40:51 | |
matches. We would have liked more
certainly but certainly the overall | 2:40:51 | 2:40:54 | |
performance was not good enough for
three points, and I think we showed | 2:40:54 | 2:40:58 | |
great credit and character to come
back twice from being behind, but | 2:40:58 | 2:41:02 | |
probably overall I think a draw was
a fair result. England's women are | 2:41:02 | 2:41:12 | |
playing 2020 as part of their Ashes
Series in Canberra. Australia won | 2:41:12 | 2:41:20 | |
the toss and chose to bat first.
They are going well on 61 proudly. | 2:41:20 | 2:41:24 | |
David Hayes and his rematch with --
going well on 61 proudly. David | 2:41:24 | 2:41:35 | |
Hayes's rematch with Tony Bellew has
been delayed. He fell and had to | 2:41:35 | 2:41:39 | |
grab a banister to stop himself
falling over. He has had surgery now | 2:41:39 | 2:41:43 | |
and it is hoped the fight will now
go ahead next March or May. He has | 2:41:43 | 2:41:47 | |
had some injuries in his time! He
has been injured from the tip of his | 2:41:47 | 2:41:52 | |
tour basically from right to the end
of his fingertip, hasn't he? Finally | 2:41:52 | 2:41:55 | |
from me, have a look at this -- from
the end of his toe. A brilliant own | 2:41:55 | 2:42:01 | |
goal from Holland... Scored by the
Chelsea player. Have a look at this. | 2:42:01 | 2:42:09 | |
No way! I'm not going to say
anything. Will we see that again. | 2:42:09 | 2:42:12 | |
There we go. Beautiful. Really
lovely! The keeper looked like he | 2:42:12 | 2:42:20 | |
could have had that! Of course! Just
thinking, that's not going to go in. | 2:42:20 | 2:42:30 | |
What happened? Left-hand! You could
have got his left fingers on that! I | 2:42:30 | 2:42:33 | |
think he could have. Requires
further investigation! As promised, | 2:42:33 | 2:42:42 | |
the Harlem Globetrotters are
awaiting, to enter this to do. No | 2:42:42 | 2:42:45 | |
ordinary basketball team of course. | 2:42:45 | 2:42:48 | |
For almost a century,
they've wowed fans around the world | 2:42:48 | 2:42:50 | |
with their incredible blend
of skill, showmanship | 2:42:50 | 2:42:52 | |
and the occassional,
extreme slam dunk. | 2:42:52 | 2:42:54 | |
They've also set a fair few world
records along the way. | 2:42:54 | 2:42:57 | |
Two members of the team will be
here in a moment and we might | 2:42:57 | 2:43:00 | |
just try a trick or two. | 2:43:00 | 2:43:01 | |
But first, let's see how it's
supposed to be done. | 2:43:01 | 2:43:06 | |
MUSIC PLAYS | 2:43:06 | 2:43:17 | |
Joining us are Dizzy and Moose. | 2:44:01 | 2:44:06 | |
wonderful to see you here. Wonderful
to be you! Excellent. You have been | 2:44:06 | 2:44:12 | |
showing us some tricks outside. When
did you first start doing kind of | 2:44:12 | 2:44:16 | |
tricks, is both? When I first got on
the team. I came on the team with | 2:44:16 | 2:44:26 | |
basketball skill and athleticism,
the Globetrotters, and of course | 2:44:26 | 2:44:30 | |
this charm. I had veterans who help
me hold my skill and really become | 2:44:30 | 2:44:34 | |
our Globetrotter, and show me how to
hammer the ball. I will probably | 2:44:34 | 2:44:40 | |
terrify the director --. Can I ask
you to stand up? There is a slight | 2:44:40 | 2:44:43 | |
hate difference... -- height
difference. You're a sex addict. | 2:44:43 | 2:44:53 | |
Yes, with my -- you are six foot
eight. Quick story, how I got my | 2:44:53 | 2:45:06 | |
name... You can sit down now. You're
so polite, you two! | 2:45:06 | 2:45:16 | |
I had to think of a way to get past
the guys. I would run circles around | 2:45:16 | 2:45:23 | |
them, get them dizzy. It was easy
for me to score them. That is how I | 2:45:23 | 2:45:27 | |
got my name. And it works as well!
What I love about the Globetrotters, | 2:45:27 | 2:45:33 | |
you have been doing it for nearly a
century, with that, the next | 2:45:33 | 2:45:39 | |
generation, you celebrate their
history and that is part of the | 2:45:39 | 2:45:42 | |
entertainment business, but
remembering what a great | 2:45:42 | 2:45:45 | |
Globetrotters have done in the past
as well, Moose. Absolutely. You | 2:45:45 | 2:45:50 | |
definitely have to be cognisant of
the history. Being a Globetrotter is | 2:45:50 | 2:45:55 | |
not just basketball, it is not just
the entertainment, we goodwill | 2:45:55 | 2:46:00 | |
ambassadors of the world.
Globetrotters have also been able to | 2:46:00 | 2:46:05 | |
cross social barriers where we were
still divided as a country, a | 2:46:05 | 2:46:12 | |
nation, we were able to overcome
that. We let basketball reach all | 2:46:12 | 2:46:18 | |
over the globe and then we have
female Globetrotters also. We are a | 2:46:18 | 2:46:22 | |
lot bigger than just basketball.
Give us an idea, when you are | 2:46:22 | 2:46:27 | |
playing, how much of the moves are
planned? Nothing is planned, we just | 2:46:27 | 2:46:33 | |
play! The only plan we have is to
win. And to look good. You do not | 2:46:33 | 2:46:40 | |
just win? We win in style, we add a
little extra funk. Dunk with front! | 2:46:40 | 2:46:52 | |
I like that. You must have played in
crazy places? I have played on an | 2:46:52 | 2:47:00 | |
ice rink. Freezing outside. I had a
helmet, I was safe. That was | 2:47:00 | 2:47:07 | |
definitely a unique experience. Do
you have your favourite moves? We | 2:47:07 | 2:47:13 | |
have different moves. Moose is a
dunk. I am a dribbler, a shooter. I | 2:47:13 | 2:47:21 | |
cannot get up like he does. I try
every once in awhile. Some of these | 2:47:21 | 2:47:27 | |
shots are absolutely fantastic! The
reaction must be fabulous from the | 2:47:27 | 2:47:33 | |
audience? The reaction from the
crowd keeps us going. You hear them | 2:47:33 | 2:47:37 | |
so excited, they see the video
introducing us, we hear the roar | 2:47:37 | 2:47:42 | |
from the crowd, the smoke clears,
does not matter what you are going | 2:47:42 | 2:47:46 | |
through, it is time to get it on. We
have played all over the UK and | 2:47:46 | 2:47:50 | |
sometimes the fans are a little
hesitant to just let down their | 2:47:50 | 2:47:57 | |
guard and get loose, but it does not
take them long. Then it is party | 2:47:57 | 2:48:01 | |
time. The skills you displayed are
truly incredible. Have many | 2:48:01 | 2:48:08 | |
Globetrotters made it in the NBA?
Our dream was to be professional | 2:48:08 | 2:48:16 | |
basketball players. Overseas, NBA,
Harlem Globetrotters. The | 2:48:16 | 2:48:22 | |
Globetrotters gave us the
opportunity to be professional | 2:48:22 | 2:48:24 | |
basketball players. We take that and
I played college, Cleveland State. | 2:48:24 | 2:48:34 | |
With this opportunity alone, we
cannot ask for anything more, we | 2:48:34 | 2:48:38 | |
touch lives everyday. We sign
autographs 30 minutes after the | 2:48:38 | 2:48:44 | |
game. We interact with the fans on
another level. The fans love it. The | 2:48:44 | 2:48:49 | |
elaborate nature of some of the
things you do, we can see something | 2:48:49 | 2:48:53 | |
here, who plans this sort of thing?
Oh, my goodness! Of course it goes | 2:48:53 | 2:48:58 | |
in! You can see the curvature of the
shot and the angle and all of that, | 2:48:58 | 2:49:05 | |
all planned! I'm curious, how many
times would that have been tried? | 2:49:05 | 2:49:15 | |
Can we see it again? Quite a bit of
movement in the basketball as it | 2:49:15 | 2:49:19 | |
goes down the tower. First shot!
Presumably you get asked this all | 2:49:19 | 2:49:27 | |
the time, can you teach anybody a
trick in 30 seconds, like Dan? Stand | 2:49:27 | 2:49:38 | |
up. Or Louise! You might want to
move the camera is back. Excuse me, | 2:49:38 | 2:49:48 | |
Moose. Hold... Look at that! Dan the
man! We did that together. What | 2:49:48 | 2:50:00 | |
about Louise? You want to try? I
want to try. We are running out of | 2:50:00 | 2:50:09 | |
time. Mind your head. Mind your her!
She is normally much better than | 2:50:09 | 2:50:17 | |
the! Thank you so much. Harlem
Globetrotters will be touring the UK | 2:50:17 | 2:50:24 | |
in 2018. We will not be joining them
yet! Do not waste any time, get your | 2:50:24 | 2:50:29 | |
tickets now. You do not want to be,
like, I missed the Globetrotters! | 2:50:29 | 2:50:38 | |
Oh, bother. Paloma Faith will be
here in 50 minutes. She has had a | 2:50:38 | 2:50:43 | |
busy week. Here she is last night
switching on the Christmas lights on | 2:50:43 | 2:50:47 | |
Regent street in London. That is
where Carol is this morning, feeling | 2:50:47 | 2:50:52 | |
festive? | 2:50:52 | 2:50:53 | |
where Carol is this morning, feeling
festive? | 2:50:53 | 2:50:54 | |
Absolutely. The lights were switched
on last Thursday, beautiful, 300,000 | 2:50:54 | 2:51:01 | |
LED lights on display, cannot see
them so well in the daylight, but | 2:51:01 | 2:51:05 | |
this morning, they were twinkling,
beautiful. It is quite a mild start, | 2:51:05 | 2:51:12 | |
also breezy. Temperatures in
Northern Ireland, England, Wales, | 2:51:12 | 2:51:16 | |
easily in double figures. Up to 14
already. In Scotland, they are that | 2:51:16 | 2:51:22 | |
bit lower. Temperatures in the
Highlands still close to freezing. | 2:51:22 | 2:51:27 | |
The forecast for most of us today is
cloudy. And also mild. There will be | 2:51:27 | 2:51:33 | |
rain at times. Some of us already
have rain. Falling across northern | 2:51:33 | 2:51:38 | |
England and also Scotland. Away from
that, a lot of cloud around. The | 2:51:38 | 2:51:44 | |
cloud thick enough for the odd spot
of drizzle and it is mild. We will | 2:51:44 | 2:51:49 | |
see a little brightness, not a lot.
It will more than likely be in the | 2:51:49 | 2:51:53 | |
shelter of the hills. Another band
of rain coming in from the West this | 2:51:53 | 2:51:58 | |
morning. By the afternoon, starting
in Scotland at 3pm, the rain will | 2:51:58 | 2:52:03 | |
move north, north of the Central
Belt. To the south, a lot of cloud. | 2:52:03 | 2:52:07 | |
Temperatures in the South double
figures. Still cold in the | 2:52:07 | 2:52:12 | |
north-east. Northern England and the
North Midlands, rain coming in from | 2:52:12 | 2:52:15 | |
the West, moving east, not
particularly heavy. A lot of cloud | 2:52:15 | 2:52:20 | |
either side. East Anglia, South
Midlands, Southern counties of | 2:52:20 | 2:52:25 | |
England, the south-west, mostly dry,
a lot of cloud, but here and there, | 2:52:25 | 2:52:37 | |
cloud thick enough for the odd spot
of rain. But I'm lucky if you do see | 2:52:37 | 2:52:40 | |
it, depending on your point of view.
Wales, cloudy. Limited sunshine. Sam | 2:52:40 | 2:52:43 | |
Rayburn. Edging up to the south of
Northern Ireland. Cloudy afternoon | 2:52:43 | 2:52:49 | |
for Northern Ireland | 2:52:49 | 2:52:53 | |
Northern Ireland. Cloudy afternoon
for Northern Ireland. As we go | 2:52:53 | 2:52:57 | |
through the evening and overnight,
two distinctive bands of rain, the | 2:52:57 | 2:53:02 | |
heaviest in the north, wintry
showers across the Northern Isles, | 2:53:02 | 2:53:05 | |
strengthening wind, even severe
gales, for the rest of the UK, | 2:53:05 | 2:53:12 | |
cloudy night, second band of rain,
also will be very mild for the time | 2:53:12 | 2:53:17 | |
of year. Tomorrow, we start off with
the raid in the north and west, some | 2:53:17 | 2:53:22 | |
will be persistent through the day
-- the rain. Windy day tomorrow, | 2:53:22 | 2:53:29 | |
picking up through the day,
particularly in the Western Southern | 2:53:29 | 2:53:32 | |
counties of England. Where it stays
dry in the south-east, the rise of | 2:53:32 | 2:53:37 | |
15. All the rain is moving
south-east will clear on Thursday -- | 2:53:37 | 2:53:43 | |
with highs of 15. Later in the day,
a new band of rain from the | 2:53:43 | 2:53:48 | |
south-west. We continue with the
rain across the Highlands and | 2:53:48 | 2:53:52 | |
Grampians of Scotland with snow down
the road level. We also see the | 2:53:52 | 2:53:55 | |
temperatures coming down across
Scotland, northern England, Northern | 2:53:55 | 2:54:05 | |
Ireland, the Midlands. Change is
coming. We will see. Thank you. | 2:54:05 | 2:54:11 | |
Lovely to see the lights,
particularly at 6am when it was | 2:54:11 | 2:54:14 | |
dark. | 2:54:14 | 2:54:18 | |
After retiring from football,
former England player Michael Owen | 2:54:18 | 2:54:20 | |
forged a new career as a race horse
owner and breeder but had never | 2:54:20 | 2:54:23 | |
considered becoming a jockey.
owner and breeder but had never | 2:54:23 | 2:54:25 | |
Until now, that is.
owner and breeder but had never | 2:54:25 | 2:54:34 | |
A man on a horse! Jockey! | 2:54:36 | 2:54:39 | |
On Friday, he'll compete
in his first race at Ascot. | 2:54:39 | 2:54:42 | |
So, can the man once considered
the quickest on the football pitch | 2:54:42 | 2:54:45 | |
now become the fastest
in the saddle? | 2:54:45 | 2:54:46 | |
Richard Askam went to his yard
in Cheshire to find out how | 2:54:46 | 2:54:49 | |
preparation is going. | 2:54:49 | 2:54:50 | |
A cold morning on the gallops
at Manor house Stables and one | 2:54:50 | 2:54:53 | |
of the hottest strikers
of his generation is | 2:54:53 | 2:54:56 | |
having to learn fast. | 2:54:56 | 2:54:59 | |
Half a tonne of pure muscle
that is fed, that is bred, | 2:54:59 | 2:55:02 | |
that is trained to just
explode into life. | 2:55:02 | 2:55:04 | |
It's so difficult. | 2:55:04 | 2:55:08 | |
Even though he's been involved
with horses as an owner | 2:55:08 | 2:55:11 | |
and breeder for many years,
as a rider, he's a total rookie. | 2:55:11 | 2:55:14 | |
It's like driving
for the first time. | 2:55:14 | 2:55:15 | |
You think you just steer. | 2:55:15 | 2:55:17 | |
But then you think clutch, gears,
indicators and all these things. | 2:55:17 | 2:55:23 | |
Michael has had to think, train,
and, crucially, eat as a jockey. | 2:55:23 | 2:55:25 | |
At the moment, it's fish,
vegetables and water all the way. | 2:55:25 | 2:55:28 | |
I was about 13 stone six,
six weeks ago, and I really had | 2:55:28 | 2:55:31 | |
to get my head down and start
losing the weight. | 2:55:31 | 2:55:33 | |
I would like to be eat
for the energy but I just can't. | 2:55:33 | 2:55:37 | |
Don't worry, I will do it for you! | 2:55:37 | 2:55:38 | |
Onto the next one! | 2:55:38 | 2:55:42 | |
Up at six every morning, Michael
took to the saddle in the spring, | 2:55:42 | 2:55:47 | |
thinking one thing he wouldn't have
to worry about would | 2:55:47 | 2:55:50 | |
be leg strength. | 2:55:50 | 2:55:52 | |
How wrong could he be. | 2:55:52 | 2:55:54 | |
Everyone is saying, "You need
to strengthen your thighs." | 2:55:54 | 2:55:57 | |
I thought, "Look at my thighs. | 2:55:57 | 2:55:59 | |
They are so muscly
compared to a jockey's." | 2:55:59 | 2:56:04 | |
But then you try to actually ride
a horse and, I mean, | 2:56:04 | 2:56:07 | |
I've been in situations probably two
thirds of the way up the gallop | 2:56:07 | 2:56:10 | |
where my thighs have gone. | 2:56:10 | 2:56:11 | |
I think anybody who knows
anything about riding | 2:56:11 | 2:56:13 | |
a horse will appreciate,
you know, you are 37 years old, | 2:56:13 | 2:56:17 | |
you've never sat on one,
takes some guts to just get | 2:56:17 | 2:56:20 | |
on the horse. | 2:56:20 | 2:56:24 | |
Is a bit of you thinking, "You know
what, I'm going to try and win it"? | 2:56:24 | 2:56:28 | |
Not a bit of me, all of me. | 2:56:28 | 2:56:30 | |
I definitely want to win and I've
got a really good horse. | 2:56:30 | 2:56:33 | |
And he says it would be
right up there as one | 2:56:33 | 2:56:35 | |
of his greatest achievements. | 2:56:35 | 2:56:36 | |
Richard Askham, BBC News. | 2:56:36 | 2:56:40 | |
Looking the part as well! I want to
see how that goes. Very good luck to | 2:56:40 | 2:56:47 | |
him. Brave in many ways. | 2:56:47 | 2:56:50 | |
It's said to be the most
wonderful time of the year, | 2:56:50 | 2:56:52 | |
but does the build up to Christmas
begin too early? | 2:56:52 | 2:56:55 | |
Well, psychologists suggest putting
decorations up sooner can actually | 2:56:55 | 2:56:57 | |
make your feel happier. | 2:56:57 | 2:56:59 | |
This is what people
at the Manchester Christmas Markets | 2:56:59 | 2:57:03 | |
had to say about whether November
is a good time to start | 2:57:03 | 2:57:06 | |
feeling festive. | 2:57:06 | 2:57:12 | |
I love Christmas. | 2:57:12 | 2:57:13 | |
It's my favourite time of the year. | 2:57:13 | 2:57:15 | |
Halfway through November
is a good time. | 2:57:15 | 2:57:17 | |
So from now onwards,
it's a good time to start... | 2:57:17 | 2:57:20 | |
No! | 2:57:20 | 2:57:21 | |
I think December onwards. | 2:57:21 | 2:57:22 | |
Not November. | 2:57:22 | 2:57:23 | |
The earlier, the better. | 2:57:23 | 2:57:25 | |
I have been looking forward
to this since the summer. | 2:57:25 | 2:57:30 | |
By the time Christmas comes,
I'm fed up with adverts, | 2:57:30 | 2:57:32 | |
John Lewis and Sainsbury's
and all the Christmas ones. | 2:57:32 | 2:57:35 | |
Wait until December. | 2:57:35 | 2:57:38 | |
I mean, that's early enough. | 2:57:38 | 2:57:39 | |
When I was a little girl,
we never put the tree up | 2:57:39 | 2:57:42 | |
until Christmas Eve. | 2:57:42 | 2:57:44 | |
It's never too early for Christmas. | 2:57:44 | 2:57:46 | |
You can start in September. | 2:57:46 | 2:57:47 | |
It's like celebrating joy. | 2:57:47 | 2:57:49 | |
I was so excited to come to
the Christmas markets this evening. | 2:57:49 | 2:57:53 | |
People start putting Christmas trees
up at ridiculous times. | 2:57:53 | 2:57:57 | |
I think everyone is waiting to put
up pictures of their Christmas | 2:57:57 | 2:58:00 | |
trees on Facebook. | 2:58:00 | 2:58:01 | |
As soon as Halloween is done,
anything can come out, | 2:58:01 | 2:58:04 | |
Christmas related. | 2:58:04 | 2:58:05 | |
Is that controversial? | 2:58:05 | 2:58:11 | |
Differing views from our viewers as
well. I love the Christmas market! | 2:58:11 | 2:58:20 | |
With us now is
psychotherapist Emma Kenny. | 2:58:20 | 2:58:24 | |
You have done some research into
nostalgia and this research seems to | 2:58:24 | 2:58:28 | |
say those who put up decorations
earlier, for some reason, are making | 2:58:28 | 2:58:33 | |
themselves feeling happier. Would
you believe that? Nostalgia | 2:58:33 | 2:58:38 | |
research, 75% of the memories you
have reflection wise which brought | 2:58:38 | 2:58:42 | |
the memories back from the past will
make you feel happier. Anything that | 2:58:42 | 2:58:46 | |
triggers memories we associate with
positives, that will boost your | 2:58:46 | 2:58:50 | |
mood. The research that was done
around this demonstrated two things. | 2:58:50 | 2:58:55 | |
The fact that you are more likely to
feel good if you put up Christmas | 2:58:55 | 2:59:00 | |
lights only because it reminds you
of potentially happy times as a | 2:59:00 | 2:59:04 | |
child. And people who do attend to
be friendlier. You could almost | 2:59:04 | 2:59:08 | |
argue, if you are friendlier, your
mood is probably going to be a bit | 2:59:08 | 2:59:12 | |
higher anyway. A cynical question,
does this play perfectly into the | 2:59:12 | 2:59:18 | |
hands of the retail giants, get your
Christmas decorations done early, by | 2:59:18 | 2:59:22 | |
as many presents as you can? The
commercialisation of Christmas, | 2:59:22 | 2:59:28 | |
increasing commercialisation of
Christmas. That is one layer, but if | 2:59:28 | 2:59:31 | |
you are looking more at this,
emotionally based. The fact you | 2:59:31 | 2:59:36 | |
might like Christmas songs in shops,
that evokes memories, it will not | 2:59:36 | 2:59:39 | |
then make you buy things, but it
will make you think about the | 2:59:39 | 2:59:43 | |
emotional connection with the things
that matter, the variables that | 2:59:43 | 2:59:47 | |
impact on your life positively,
spending time with your family, the | 2:59:47 | 2:59:51 | |
shared experience of connection. And
of course, the excitement through | 2:59:51 | 2:59:56 | |
your children's eyes. The inner
child is always present. When I | 2:59:56 | 2:59:59 | |
think of Christmas, I will not live,
I am a huge Christmas fan, no issue | 2:59:59 | 3:00:04 | |
with anyone putting up their lights
in August, go ahead. I do it in | 3:00:04 | 3:00:08 | |
December. Whatever increases mood...
The thing that is really | 3:00:08 | 3:00:14 | |
interesting, we have control over
our moods to some degree, so if you | 3:00:14 | 3:00:18 | |
can elevate it, go ahead and do it.
Not a bad thing to do. What if | 3:00:18 | 3:00:22 | |
people have bad memories of
Christmas? 75% of reflections, | 3:00:22 | 3:00:27 | |
nostalgia, positive, but 25% are
negative. If you have not got close | 3:00:27 | 3:00:33 | |
connections, isolated at Christmas,
horrible time of year. Some people | 3:00:33 | 3:00:39 | |
now thinking, this is brilliant, I
can now... Putting them up right | 3:00:39 | 3:00:46 | |
now! I heard someone on the BBC
saying, it will make us happier. | 3:00:46 | 3:00:55 | |
Absolutely, knock yourself out. The
problem is in neighbourhoods you | 3:00:55 | 3:00:59 | |
have certain issues, putting up
decorations, like in that vt, but | 3:00:59 | 3:01:10 | |
one of the things to avoid issuing
those pictures on Facebook all the | 3:01:10 | 3:01:14 | |
time, reduce the competitiveness,
and boost the things that make us | 3:01:14 | 3:01:17 | |
happy, with your family, your
community. What has been interesting | 3:01:17 | 3:01:22 | |
about seeing the comments come in,
every family has their own | 3:01:22 | 3:01:27 | |
traditions. I don't put them up
until the 12th, after my son or | 3:01:27 | 3:01:32 | |
daughter's birthday, for example.
Exactly. Probably I think I take it | 3:01:32 | 3:01:39 | |
from the tradition, 1st of December,
then take them down about the 6th of | 3:01:39 | 3:01:43 | |
January. I know people who do it the
way their family dead and I think we | 3:01:43 | 3:01:46 | |
are conditioned to some degree to
carry out our family traditions but | 3:01:46 | 3:01:53 | |
whatever you're doing in life you
should absolutely go ahead and | 3:01:53 | 3:01:55 | |
manifest that as much as possible.
If it is tinsel that does it? | 3:01:55 | 3:02:04 | |
Tinsel, are fairy lights, go ahead.
For me it is the 1st of December. | 3:02:04 | 3:02:09 | |
I'm ridiculous. It is not about
money, it is about celebration. The | 3:02:09 | 3:02:12 | |
whole family is ridiculous. I know
it is about what makes you happy, | 3:02:12 | 3:02:17 | |
but the 12 days of Christmas are
there for a reason? Give yourself a | 3:02:17 | 3:02:21 | |
two week build-up, just under? Yes,
if you are religious, but in a 62% | 3:02:21 | 3:02:30 | |
atheistic culture we are not really
following those traditions, so why | 3:02:30 | 3:02:33 | |
do it when you can have all these
days of it as opposed to just maybe | 3:02:33 | 3:02:41 | |
12? Your enthusiasm is almost
infectious, Emma! And music, it can | 3:02:41 | 3:02:49 | |
be powerful. I find it too much,
Christmas music in August! I used to | 3:02:49 | 3:02:55 | |
work in a book shop, Christmas music
in December, but for the rest of the | 3:02:55 | 3:03:01 | |
year we just had Enya, same album,
playing forever, and when I hear | 3:03:01 | 3:03:08 | |
Sail Away, am not kidding you, it
does really weird things to me, just | 3:03:08 | 3:03:12 | |
get a tingle, because I just heard
it for years on end... That is | 3:03:12 | 3:03:18 | |
almost a version. Yes, it has gone
the other way! But some of those | 3:03:18 | 3:03:23 | |
songs I enjoy quite a lot. Thank you
so much for sending in your festive | 3:03:23 | 3:03:29 | |
pictures. I cannot believe this but
John's tree in Grangemouth is | 3:03:29 | 3:03:34 | |
already up. John! Keith has his
decorations around the fireplace | 3:03:34 | 3:03:39 | |
already. What is happening here?
These must be from last year! | 3:03:39 | 3:03:43 | |
LAUGHTER
It does, seriously, it gets earlier | 3:03:43 | 3:03:50 | |
every year. Some are not convinced.
David Runcorn thinks it is too | 3:03:50 | 3:03:54 | |
early. And this one, there is us and
everything to prove it is now. Is | 3:03:54 | 3:04:00 | |
that now? That is Steph. Keith, what
is happening? For Diane, she waits | 3:04:00 | 3:04:11 | |
until the 1st of December. Which is
still really early! But here is her | 3:04:11 | 3:04:16 | |
tree from last year. Thank you,
Diane, we are not the only ones | 3:04:16 | 3:04:22 | |
holding out for December the 1st. | 3:04:22 | 3:06:04 | |
Diane, we are not the only ones
temperature of 14 Celsius, so not | 3:06:04 | 3:06:04 | |
too cold for the time of year. I
will be back with the lunchtime news | 3:06:04 | 3:06:10 | |
at 1:30pm. Whatever you're doing,
have a very good day. | 3:06:10 | 3:06:17 | |
Welcome back, everyone. | 3:06:17 | 3:06:20 | |
Big voice and flamboyant stage
presence have helped Paloma Faith | 3:06:20 | 3:06:22 | |
become one of Britain's most
succesful female artists. | 3:06:22 | 3:06:24 | |
And now, after a two-year break
from the spotlight, she's back. | 3:06:24 | 3:06:29 | |
And she's here as well. Isn't that
great? | 3:06:29 | 3:06:32 | |
In her latest album,
she uses her music to explore some | 3:06:32 | 3:06:35 | |
of the biggest issues
of modern society. | 3:06:35 | 3:06:37 | |
We'll be speaking to
Paloma in just a moment. | 3:06:37 | 3:06:39 | |
First, here she is performing
for BBC Radio 2 earlier this month. | 3:06:39 | 3:06:42 | |
# Go on and cry, baby
for BBC Radio 2 earlier this month. | 3:06:42 | 3:06:43 | |
# Cry, baby | 3:06:43 | 3:06:44 | |
# You don't have to keep it inside
inside | 3:06:44 | 3:06:50 | |
# Go on and cry, baby | 3:06:50 | 3:06:51 | |
# Cry, baby | 3:06:51 | 3:06:52 | |
# And there's no reason
you've got to hide... | 3:06:52 | 3:06:56 | |
# Baby, I'm guilty | 3:06:56 | 3:07:00 | |
# I'm turning sweet love into poison | 3:07:00 | 3:07:05 | |
# I've got the scars, if you're
talking about hurting yourself | 3:07:05 | 3:07:10 | |
# Baby, I'm guilty as hell | 3:07:10 | 3:07:15 | |
# Don't try to show me | 3:07:15 | 3:07:19 | |
# You don't know me | 3:07:19 | 3:07:20 | |
# Stay away | 3:07:20 | 3:07:24 | |
# I can be wilder
than the wind | 3:07:24 | 3:07:26 | |
# 190 miles an hour | 3:07:26 | 3:07:27 | |
# I'm in a a whole other dimension | 3:07:27 | 3:07:30 | |
# Dancing doubles on the floor | 3:07:30 | 3:07:32 | |
# You think I'm crazy | 3:07:32 | 3:07:34 | |
# A little bit hazy | 3:07:34 | 3:07:36 | |
# But I'm stone cold sober | 3:07:36 | 3:07:42 | |
# You're telling me something | 3:07:42 | 3:07:46 | |
# But there's nothing
cheap as words | 3:07:46 | 3:07:50 | |
# I'm walking away... | 3:07:50 | 3:07:51 | |
#. | 3:07:51 | 3:07:52 | |
Paloma Faith, good morning. | 3:07:52 | 3:07:56 | |
I have seen you perform, but not
there. Tell us a little about the | 3:07:56 | 3:08:00 | |
new album. It has been a while,
hasn't it? You have had a baby. | 3:08:00 | 3:08:05 | |
Congratulations. Thank you. Yes, it
is called The Architect, and it is | 3:08:05 | 3:08:12 | |
out, now, and I am really enjoying
it because it is allowing me a | 3:08:12 | 3:08:18 | |
conversation about things other than
myself. Usually I write quite | 3:08:18 | 3:08:23 | |
narcissistic...
LAUGHTER | 3:08:23 | 3:08:23 | |
This time I think I was influenced
by motherhood and I put my focus on | 3:08:23 | 3:08:29 | |
the world around me and the type of
world I was bringing this person | 3:08:29 | 3:08:32 | |
into. And I've also been thinking,
like, when your baby gets older, | 3:08:32 | 3:08:41 | |
what do you want to have passed to
them? What was the album you want | 3:08:41 | 3:08:45 | |
them to listen to? I think what I
tried to do, and I hope I've | 3:08:45 | 3:08:49 | |
achieved this, is talk about the
human qualities that I think are the | 3:08:49 | 3:08:53 | |
most important ones, kindness,
compassion and empathy, and that was | 3:08:53 | 3:08:57 | |
my focus. I was going to say,
because it is political, but it is | 3:08:57 | 3:09:02 | |
sort of political with a small p. A
moral viewpoint which does then | 3:09:02 | 3:09:13 | |
impact on the politics we see around
us in the world today? I think so, | 3:09:13 | 3:09:16 | |
and I think it is supposed to be
kind of a social observation. My | 3:09:16 | 3:09:19 | |
heart bleeds when I think, why are
we still in certain situations that | 3:09:19 | 3:09:23 | |
we still are? You see homelessness
and loneliness, and we still have a | 3:09:23 | 3:09:26 | |
problem in this country for example
with old people, on their own, and I | 3:09:26 | 3:09:31 | |
just feel like there is a real
demise in community and I wanted to | 3:09:31 | 3:09:35 | |
make a record that spoke in a
hopeful perspective about how we can | 3:09:35 | 3:09:41 | |
all get together and help each other
and be united, rather than this | 3:09:41 | 3:09:46 | |
separateness kind of atmosphere that
there is. Samuel L Jackson is on it! | 3:09:46 | 3:09:52 | |
Tell us about that. I'm so shocked
as well. Even tweeted about it the | 3:09:52 | 3:09:59 | |
other day and I was like... Is
reading something? You opens my | 3:09:59 | 3:10:04 | |
whole record with his powerful
commanding voice. We can look at the | 3:10:04 | 3:10:09 | |
tweet now. How did that come out?
You just rang him up, ordered your | 3:10:09 | 3:10:15 | |
people speak to his people? No, I
met him because he has a charity | 3:10:15 | 3:10:20 | |
called One For The Boys, Charity for
men with testicular cancer. I did | 3:10:20 | 3:10:28 | |
some work for them, doing charity
stuff and he just said, I owe you a | 3:10:28 | 3:10:36 | |
favour, but my attitude was, oh,
he's from Hollywood, so he's just | 3:10:36 | 3:10:40 | |
saying that. And he said, no, I can
tell from your face you don't | 3:10:40 | 3:10:44 | |
believe me and I said, no, I don't,
really. And he said, no, and a man | 3:10:44 | 3:10:49 | |
of my word and I will do you a
favour. I could have asked him to do | 3:10:49 | 3:10:53 | |
my supermarket shop just for fun but
I decided not to waste the | 3:10:53 | 3:10:57 | |
opportunity and put it to good use.
We did the recording. He did it so | 3:10:57 | 3:11:02 | |
quickly, then we spent two errors
just talking about music and life | 3:11:02 | 3:11:06 | |
afterwards. He is such a good man.
-- two hours. Then he tweeted, and I | 3:11:06 | 3:11:16 | |
was just an Shockey was so nice. We
have two of your songs, Guilty and | 3:11:16 | 3:11:22 | |
Crybaby, inspired by The Handmade's
Pale, is that correct? Yes, that is | 3:11:22 | 3:11:29 | |
right, it is quite a dark film as
well it is inspired by about what | 3:11:29 | 3:11:35 | |
dictators have in common in their
childhoods. Interesting, because | 3:11:35 | 3:11:41 | |
both of the videos are sort of
linked to the same thing. The same | 3:11:41 | 3:11:46 | |
theme. Yes, and the subject I was
dealing with, when you implement so | 3:11:46 | 3:11:52 | |
much animosity and lack of a motion
for too long eventually it will | 3:11:52 | 3:11:56 | |
backfire. I know you have spoken
quite a lot about becoming a mum, | 3:11:56 | 3:11:59 | |
haven't you? And you had a difficult
birth which you have been quite | 3:11:59 | 3:12:02 | |
honest with people about. I expect
people are kind of refreshed to know | 3:12:02 | 3:12:08 | |
you're being honest about it,
because that happens to lots of | 3:12:08 | 3:12:11 | |
people, doesn't it? It is amazing
how many people have come towards me | 3:12:11 | 3:12:15 | |
and sort of been like, thank you! I
think there is absolutely of course | 3:12:15 | 3:12:22 | |
a chance for people watching
pregnant and worried, that they will | 3:12:22 | 3:12:26 | |
have an amazing birth, but I think
it is sad that sometimes we feel we | 3:12:26 | 3:12:29 | |
can't say, no, it didn't go very
well for me, because then we are | 3:12:29 | 3:12:32 | |
faced with so much disappointment
afterwards, and I was. I went | 3:12:32 | 3:12:36 | |
through a long period of being,
like, blaming myself, being | 3:12:36 | 3:12:40 | |
frustrated with my own body, but it
is really, like, you know, it | 3:12:40 | 3:12:44 | |
doesn't take away from how much you
love the child in the end. But it | 3:12:44 | 3:12:49 | |
was really the hardest thing I've
ever done, and I do feel like it has | 3:12:49 | 3:12:53 | |
fuelled me coming back better than
ever before. Before I stopped for a | 3:12:53 | 3:12:59 | |
while, they said you will probably
find you feel empowered and full of | 3:12:59 | 3:13:04 | |
courage and bravery and strength,
and you will probably be more | 3:13:04 | 3:13:06 | |
successful than you have ever been,
so I hope that's true! | 3:13:06 | 3:13:09 | |
LAUGHTER
We promised we would ask you about | 3:13:09 | 3:13:13 | |
Christmas decorations. You are a
last minute-monger, is that right, | 3:13:13 | 3:13:21 | |
right at the end? Yes, and also with
a wide -year-old in the house, you | 3:13:21 | 3:13:24 | |
don't want them falling over a tree
before, so I will probably put it up | 3:13:24 | 3:13:29 | |
the day before! Sounds very wise --
with a one-year-old in the house. | 3:13:29 | 3:13:35 | |
Thank you. | 3:13:35 | 3:13:36 | |
Paloma's new album is
called The Architect. | 3:13:36 | 3:13:38 | |
That's all we've got time for this
morning on Breakfast. | 3:13:38 | 3:13:40 | |
We'll be back tomorrow from 6am
when we'll be joined | 3:13:40 | 3:13:42 | |
by Sir Michael Parkinson. | 3:13:42 | 3:13:43 | |
Until then, have a good day. | 3:13:43 | 3:13:45 |
