0:00:04 > 0:00:11Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin
0:00:11 > 0:00:13The Chancellor Philip Hammond promises to use
0:00:13 > 0:00:16today's budget to secure a bright future for Britain.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The famous red box is expected to contain plans
0:00:19 > 0:00:22for housing and schools, but Mr Hammond is a man under
0:00:22 > 0:00:29pressure from all sides.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32I'm Eleanor Garnier, and I will have all the political
0:00:32 > 0:00:35analysis ahead of a key day for the residents of both Numbers 10
0:00:35 > 0:00:41and 11 Downing Street.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I'll be looking at the economics.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I've been finding out how members from one family are feeling
0:00:46 > 0:00:50the squeeze and what the Chancellor can best do to help them,
0:00:50 > 0:00:51young and old.
0:00:55 > 0:01:02Good morning, it's Wednesday the 22nd of November.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05A new dawn for the people of Zimbabwe after President Mugabe's
0:01:05 > 0:01:1137 years in power come to an end.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14How different types of alcohol bring out different emotions,
0:01:14 > 0:01:19a major study looks at the link between your drink and your mood.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Liverpool throw away a 3-0 lead in Seville,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23meaning qualification for the knockout stages
0:01:23 > 0:01:26of the Champions League will have to wait a little longer.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And Carol has the weather.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Good morning. A fairly cloudy day for many once again, we have heavy
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and persistent rain across the north-west of the country. The
0:01:40 > 0:01:44brighter skies will be in the south-east and East Anglia and it
0:01:44 > 0:01:48will be pretty windy across England and Wales. More in 15 minutes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Good morning.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50First, our main story.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52The Chancellor Philip Hammond will present his Budget
0:01:52 > 0:01:53in Parliament later.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56He'll set out what he describes as his plans to seize
0:01:56 > 0:01:58the opportunities from Brexit, while tackling deep-seated economic
0:01:58 > 0:02:00challenges in the country head on.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Mr Hammond is under pressure to balance the books but also ease
0:02:03 > 0:02:05austerity amid significant tensions within the Tory party.
0:02:05 > 0:02:14Our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier, reports.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20When the Chancellor opens his red box to reveal his tax and spending
0:02:20 > 0:02:24plans, money will be tight as the government keeps saying. The
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Chancellor's under huge pressure to loosen the purse strings to put more
0:02:28 > 0:02:33cash into public services like the NHS. But few expect the Chancellor
0:02:33 > 0:02:38to go on a big spending spree. Brexit is the backdrop to everything
0:02:38 > 0:02:42in Westminster. The tensions over the talks with Brussels and division
0:02:42 > 0:02:48in government over the EU don't make the Chancellor's job any easier. Any
0:02:48 > 0:02:52controversial budget plans, like tax rises or spending cuts, will be a
0:02:52 > 0:02:58difficult sell without an overall majority in the Commons. The Tories
0:02:58 > 0:03:01hoped for a reboot at the General Election and the party conference
0:03:01 > 0:03:06both failed. Now many think it's up to the Chancellor to deliver a big
0:03:06 > 0:03:11budget that will trigger the revival the party and the Prime Minister
0:03:11 > 0:03:15need. The stakes are high for the Chancellor and with some in his own
0:03:15 > 0:03:19party wanting him sacked, any slipups and he could find himself
0:03:19 > 0:03:24out of a job. Eleanor Garnier, BBC News, Westminster.
0:03:24 > 0:03:33And Eleanor joins us now from Downing Street.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37You mentioned it's a high-pressure day for Philip Hammond and on top of
0:03:37 > 0:03:42that we've had all this talk of last-minute changes forced upon him
0:03:42 > 0:03:46by the Prime Minister as well?I think the Chancellor really does
0:03:46 > 0:03:50have very little room form an Uber, politically but financially too.
0:03:50 > 0:03:57There are many conservatives in Westminster who would want the
0:03:57 > 0:04:00budget to lift the post-election Bloom they've been dealing with --
0:04:00 > 0:04:05room form an Uber. Banish all memories of recent Cabinet
0:04:05 > 0:04:09resignations and smooth over the external tensions with Brexit but
0:04:09 > 0:04:14many know the Chancellor is starting with a pretty weak hand. We can
0:04:14 > 0:04:17expect plans to target the housing crisis, there will be extra money
0:04:17 > 0:04:22for teacher training in England and cash to boost the number of students
0:04:22 > 0:04:27taking maths after 16, and for young people the discounted rail cards are
0:04:27 > 0:04:32extended from 26 to 30 -year-olds. But will there be any good news for
0:04:32 > 0:04:36paid off for public sector workers? What can the Chancellor do to
0:04:36 > 0:04:40address concerns over the waiting time for Universal Credit? Big
0:04:40 > 0:04:45questions and lots of pressure. Labour is calling for the Chancellor
0:04:45 > 0:04:49to call time on austerity and boost public services. The Chancellor will
0:04:49 > 0:04:54try to improve the government's fortunes, but really the economic
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and political backdrop leave him with few options.Eleanor, thanks
0:04:57 > 0:05:03very much, we will speak to you later.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05There have been euphoric scenes in Zimbabwe following the resignation
0:05:05 > 0:05:14of Robert Mugabe as President.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17The sacking of Emmerson Mnangagwa earlier this month prompted military
0:05:17 > 0:05:20intervention a week ago, which brought to an end Mr Mugabe's
0:05:20 > 0:05:2137-year grip on power.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Mr Mnangagwa is expected to be sworn in as the country's
0:05:24 > 0:05:26new leader in the next two days.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Despite this, Zimbabwe is waking up to an uncertain future.
0:05:28 > 0:05:35Our Africa correspondent Anne Soy reports.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Zimbabweans from across the political divide
0:05:37 > 0:05:38united in celebration.
0:05:38 > 0:05:47It's been a long time coming.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51The end of an era many will remember for its repression and brutality.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53The man most of these people only ever knew
0:05:53 > 0:05:54as President leaves disgraced.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56This is history in the making.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59We never thought that this was going to happen in Zimbabwe.
0:05:59 > 0:05:59Yes! Yes!
0:05:59 > 0:06:04This is history, you guys.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07This is what we have been fighting for since independence.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10One man has been taking us back, and we are very happy
0:06:10 > 0:06:11that he has done, now.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13The announcement came from an unlikely venue.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Parliament was in the process of impeaching Robert Mugabe,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18but they did not need to, in the end.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24The Speaker read out the resignation letter.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Hereby, I formally tender my resignation as President
0:06:26 > 0:06:28of the Republic of Zimbabwe with immediate effect.
0:06:28 > 0:06:39APPLAUSE
0:06:39 > 0:06:45The ruling party plans to have the former vice president Emmerson
0:06:45 > 0:06:54Mnangagwa is warning to complete Robert Mugabe's term before
0:06:54 > 0:06:57elections are held next year.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Critics say the two men are cut from same cloth.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So as Zimbabwe celebrates the end of Robert Mugabe's rural,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05in the coming days, there will be reflections on the future
0:07:05 > 0:07:09of the country and whether this political transition is the change
0:07:09 > 0:07:10that they had hoped for.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Anne Soy, BBC News.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14More on that through the morning for you as well.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17A UN war crimes tribunal is due to deliver its verdict later this
0:07:17 > 0:07:19morning on a former Bosnian-Serb general Ratko Mladic,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21who's accused of orchestrating the worst act
0:07:21 > 0:07:24of genocide in Europe since the Second World War.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Mladic is charged with the murders of 8,000 Muslim men
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and boys in Srebrenica
0:07:28 > 0:07:29in 1995, as well as the four-year
0:07:29 > 0:07:32siege of Sarajevo, in which 10,000 people died.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Now aged 74, he's been on trial at The Hague for more
0:07:35 > 0:07:36than five years.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39There are fears the crew of a submarine that disappeared
0:07:39 > 0:07:41in the southern Atlantic could be running out of oxygen.
0:07:41 > 0:07:4344 people are on board the San Juan,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45which went missing last Wednesday after it reported
0:07:45 > 0:07:46an electric breakdown.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49A spokesman for the Argentine navy said the massive search operation
0:07:49 > 0:08:01would continue until the vessel is located.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05We will be speaking to someone who's been helping with the rescue effort
0:08:05 > 0:08:10and people involved in that a little bit later
0:08:10 > 0:08:11and people involved in that a little bit later.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14The American actor and musician, David Cassidy, has died in Florida
0:08:14 > 0:08:15at the age of 67.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18He was admitted to hospital last week after suffering
0:08:18 > 0:08:18multiple organ failure.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21The '70s icon shot to fame in the sitcom
0:08:21 > 0:08:24The Partridge Family before going on to have a successful
0:08:24 > 0:08:25solo career in music.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Our North America correspondent,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Peter Bowes, joins us from Los Angeles.
0:08:28 > 0:08:36Peter, very sad day, good morning. Extremely sad. We knew he was ill,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40he went into hospital about a week ago and we were told he was
0:08:40 > 0:08:44suffering from multiple organ failure but at only 67, you're
0:08:44 > 0:08:48absolutely right, it is a sad loss and lots of people may be of a
0:08:48 > 0:08:54certain age will remember him in the 1970s, the Cartridge Family, the
0:08:54 > 0:08:58show that catapulted him to stardom. You couldn't get much bigger than
0:08:58 > 0:09:04David Cassidy as a pop star in those days -- Partridge. It was bubblegum
0:09:04 > 0:09:08pop that made him a star and the show went on for about four years,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13album after album and then it ended and he went on to a solo career,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17which wasn't quite as successful for him, and at one point he almost
0:09:17 > 0:09:22seemed to rebel against the times he was very successful. He had quite a
0:09:22 > 0:09:26troubled private life, a few run-ins with the law and drink driving
0:09:26 > 0:09:30offences, and towards the end of his life he wasn't particularly well. In
0:09:30 > 0:09:34fact earlier this year he will announced he would be ending his
0:09:34 > 0:09:39career after five decades. -- announced. There have been many
0:09:39 > 0:09:44tributes, led by Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys, who tweeted he is
0:09:44 > 0:09:48sad about David Cassidy, they got together in the late 70s and they
0:09:48 > 0:09:52started writing a song together, he was very talented and a nice person.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Tributes have been paid to the comic actor Rodney Bewes,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58who has died aged 79.
0:09:58 > 0:10:05English girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses, like
0:10:05 > 0:10:08wallpaper on the March!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12He found fame playing Bob Ferris in the BBC sitcom The Likely Lads
0:10:12 > 0:10:14alongside James Bolam, although the pair eventually fell
0:10:14 > 0:10:15out in real life.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18He went on to enjoy other roles on stage and screen,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21including a sitcom he wrote called Dear Mother...Love Albert.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23One of Hollywood's most successful animators and the co-founder
0:10:23 > 0:10:26of Disney's Pixar studio, John Lasseter, is the latest high
0:10:26 > 0:10:27profile media figure to face allegations
0:10:27 > 0:10:40of inappropriate behaviour.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Lasseter, who worked on films such as Toy Story,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45A Bug's Life, and Frozen, is taking a six month leave
0:10:45 > 0:10:48of absence and has apologised for what he called missteps,
0:10:48 > 0:10:49including giving staff unwanted hugs.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Uber has admitted that it concealed a massive global breach
0:10:52 > 0:10:54of the personal information of 57 million customers and drivers
0:10:54 > 0:10:56which took place in October last year.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59The ride-sharing firm confirmed it had paid the hackers
0:10:59 > 0:11:02responsible £75,000 pounds to delete the data, which included customer
0:11:02 > 0:11:07names, e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Different types of alcohol change and shape your mood in different
0:11:10 > 0:11:12ways, according to a major new study.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Researchers for the Global Drug Survey have found
0:11:15 > 0:11:17major links between types of alcohol and the emotions they create.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20For example, spirits were associated with feelings of aggression,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22while red wine and beer were linked to feeling relaxed.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26James Gallagher reports.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28How do you feel when you drink?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Sleepy or rowdy?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Excited, or maybe even tearful?
0:11:32 > 0:11:37The on-line Global Drug Survey filled out by nearly 30,000 young
0:11:37 > 0:11:39adults suggests what's in your glass is linked
0:11:39 > 0:11:42to your mood.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It showed spirits had the strongest link.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47More than half associated drinks like gin, rum,
0:11:47 > 0:11:53and vodka, with confidence and energy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56But nearly a third also link those drinks to aggressive feelings.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The survey said a feeling of relaxation was linked mostly
0:11:59 > 0:12:00to red wine or beer.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03The researchers say varying alcohol levels in the beverages might be
0:12:03 > 0:12:05having different impacts on the brain.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Younger people in particular were more likely to report
0:12:07 > 0:12:10a stronger emotional connection, both on the positive
0:12:10 > 0:12:11and the negative side.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14But also women were more likely than men to report different high
0:12:14 > 0:12:17levels of emotional outcomes, if you like, with different drinks,
0:12:17 > 0:12:23except for aggression, where men were more likely than women.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28The study shows only an association, it cannot prove different drinks
0:12:28 > 0:12:31alter mood, and it didn't assess our motions before
0:12:31 > 0:12:36they started drinking.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38The researchers describe their work as an initial exploration
0:12:38 > 0:12:39and say understanding the relationship
0:12:39 > 0:12:42between drink and emotion could help tackle alcohol abuse.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46James Gallagher, BBC News.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I think that's interesting but I probably could have guessed it
0:12:49 > 0:12:55depends on what you drink.The other thing, which will talk about this
0:12:55 > 0:12:59later, volume, whether that affects your mood, whether it is down to the
0:12:59 > 0:13:03type of drink that makes you feel a certain weight.And whether you mix
0:13:03 > 0:13:10them.You are taking things a whole new level there! -- a certain way.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16Very early for us but it is 5pm somewhere!That is true! What have
0:13:16 > 0:13:22you got?Liverpool, Champions League, throwing away the 3-0 lead,
0:13:22 > 0:13:28a spectacular first 30 minutes and then it all went to pot. Throwing
0:13:28 > 0:13:33away the chance to go through to the knockout stages for the first time
0:13:33 > 0:13:36since 2009.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane had put
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Jurgen Klopp's men 3-0 up inside half an hour.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44But a second half collapse was completed deep into injury time
0:13:44 > 0:13:45when Guido Pizarro equalised.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48But Tottenham and Manchester City know they'll finish top
0:13:48 > 0:13:50of their groups after winning last night.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Spurs beat Borussia Dortmund to finish above Real Madrid.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57England's women have secured a series victory over Canada
0:13:57 > 0:13:59with a Test to spare.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03They were 49-12 winners at Twickenham.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And the waiting's nearly over.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09This time tomorrow the men's Ashes series will be well under way
0:14:09 > 0:14:14way in Brisbane.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Today the captains face the media.
0:14:17 > 0:14:24We have Matt Prior coming on later. Overnight did you see Nathan Lyon
0:14:24 > 0:14:28said that some Englishmen were scared in the Ashes, it ruined their
0:14:28 > 0:14:32career, he said he was looking forward to ruining more. Matt Prior
0:14:32 > 0:14:37is a good guess to have on today considering.He said it was rubbish,
0:14:37 > 0:14:43all words to that effect.I believe that's correct. -- or words.I know
0:14:43 > 0:14:50I'm jumping ahead to the papers, but the Sun has turned Nathan Lyon into
0:14:50 > 0:14:54the cowardly Lyon from the wizard of Oz, and England have hit back saying
0:14:54 > 0:15:00he is talking rubbish. The time of year for that!We love a bit of
0:15:00 > 0:15:04buildup, all starts tomorrow at the Gabba. Midnight tonight. All the
0:15:04 > 0:15:08details tomorrow. Let's look at some of the front pages, starting with
0:15:08 > 0:15:16the Guardian. Good morning as well, Steph.
0:15:16 > 0:15:24McGarvey family relinquishes power, celebrations taking place in Harare
0:15:24 > 0:15:30and other parts of Zimbabwe after Robert Mugabe stood down -- Mugabe
0:15:30 > 0:15:37family. The Daily Telegraph with a pretty similar front page. Another
0:15:37 > 0:15:43picture from Zimbabwe. Look at the sign he is holding up, Mugabe go
0:15:43 > 0:15:47home and rest. And ahead of the budget, they are talking about the
0:15:47 > 0:15:54relationship between Number Ten and number 11, talking about May's
0:15:54 > 0:16:05budget wall with -- war with Hammond. The real reason Jack was
0:16:05 > 0:16:09booted out of the jungle is their front page, going back to some
0:16:09 > 0:16:14tweets sent in the past, and they have been found and he has been
0:16:14 > 0:16:19accused of various things. His representatives said he has come out
0:16:19 > 0:16:27the jungle to resolve that. And PM cuts police budget, that is the
0:16:27 > 0:16:31front page of the Mirror this morning. On the front page of the
0:16:31 > 0:16:38Sun, talking about Angela Merkel, and again, we were talking about the
0:16:38 > 0:16:42pictures of Angela Merkel yesterday, and how they very much tell a story.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47The way they put it is Britain will soon be out of your hair, cheer up.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Their main story is savers urged to boycott banks who have not passed on
0:16:52 > 0:17:01this month's rise in interest rates. I feel sorry for people that
0:17:01 > 0:17:09constantly have cameras.They take lots and lots of photos, and use the
0:17:09 > 0:17:14photo which fits the story.It is like when the former Governor of the
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Bank of England used to go to Wimbledon and permanently set with a
0:17:17 > 0:17:23smile, so they didn't have any shots they could use.If you are very
0:17:23 > 0:17:28famous...Well, you can't have one anywhere, including newsrooms, as we
0:17:28 > 0:17:41saw last week.There is a journalist somewhere jotting all this down.
0:17:41 > 0:17:51Obviously I am covering the budget today, and innovative -- in a bit of
0:17:51 > 0:17:58good news, a surge in demand from overseas, and this is obviously the
0:17:58 > 0:18:02alternative to retailers that struggle with the fall in the value
0:18:02 > 0:18:06of the pound. For our manufacturers it is good news because it makes our
0:18:06 > 0:18:09products cheaper for those buying them from abroad. There are always
0:18:09 > 0:18:13winners and losers when you look at what is happening in the currency
0:18:13 > 0:18:21market.And you have a busy day for budget day. You will be covering it
0:18:21 > 0:18:26on Breakfast.You are the Eye which never sleeps.Apart from during the
0:18:26 > 0:18:36shifts.And the war of words. Liam Phillips, a former BMX world
0:18:36 > 0:18:39champion and Olympian, finally retired. His last injury was the
0:18:39 > 0:18:46final one. His right wrist had to be plated, so it was all over. There is
0:18:46 > 0:18:50a nice illustration of how many injuries, more than a dozen over the
0:18:50 > 0:18:54course of his career. His clavicle has had to be plated three times on
0:18:54 > 0:18:59both sides, and he has said enough is enough.I rode a BMX around with
0:18:59 > 0:19:03him, in the build-up to the Olympics, I think he beat me by
0:19:03 > 0:19:13about 15 minutes!It has been a bit of a tough run.You know when you
0:19:13 > 0:19:17get stuff sent in the post and it is inappropriately rapped or covered in
0:19:17 > 0:19:21bubble wrap and has miles of cardboard around it, well, this guy
0:19:21 > 0:19:25called Paul Jacobs ordered a role of bubble wrap from Amazon and look
0:19:25 > 0:19:30what it came wrapped in, 100 foot of paper. This is his role of bubble
0:19:30 > 0:19:35wrap, and when it turned up it was covered in this, to protect it.Just
0:19:35 > 0:19:40in case something happens.Just in case there was any sort of injury to
0:19:40 > 0:19:47the bubble wrap, which of course is used for that purpose.You can get a
0:19:47 > 0:19:50great role of it, put it on the floor and walk on it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54And you and
0:19:54 > 0:19:57And you and I have done the classic, gone to our different wardrobes and
0:19:57 > 0:20:01chosen almost exactly the same dress.You couldn't make it up,
0:20:01 > 0:20:06could you? This morning is quite mild. If we were to draw a line from
0:20:06 > 0:20:10north Wales across the Lincolnshire, all point out that are currently
0:20:10 > 0:20:15resting at 13 or 14 Celsius. As we go past the middle part of this
0:20:15 > 0:20:19week, it will turn more mild. This morning, wet and windy weather. If
0:20:19 > 0:20:23you are in the west, you have got both. Low pressure is driving our
0:20:23 > 0:20:28weather once again. We have a weather front in the west and the
0:20:28 > 0:20:33north, both producing rain, heavy and persistent rain, and the wind is
0:20:33 > 0:20:36really going to strengthen later in the morning and into the afternoon
0:20:36 > 0:20:40across England and Wales. This morning is a quiet start, there is a
0:20:40 > 0:20:45lot of cloud around. Temperatures in London, 7am, 14 Celsius and one or
0:20:45 > 0:20:48two back brighter breaks here and there. Across northern England we
0:20:48 > 0:20:52have some rain, and the most heavy and persistent will be coming in
0:20:52 > 0:20:55from the north-west. In southern Scotland the heaviest rain from the
0:20:55 > 0:21:00south-west at this stage. A lot of dry weather, chilli in Scotland and
0:21:00 > 0:21:03a wintry mix in the Northern Isles. For Northern Ireland, not as windy
0:21:03 > 0:21:07for you but we do have persistent rain coming across, heavy at times
0:21:07 > 0:21:11as well, and that is moving across the Irish Sea, across the Isle of
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Man, fringing in the north Wales, the rest of Wales at this stage
0:21:15 > 0:21:23staying mostly dry. Through the course of the day the rain comes in.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26It will be heavy. They will be surface water and spray on the roads
0:21:26 > 0:21:30to content with, but the wind will be a feature. Strengthening in the
0:21:30 > 0:21:33morning, into the afternoon, and we will also have some snow. Not just
0:21:33 > 0:21:37the hills in Scotland but possibly down to low levels and some of the
0:21:37 > 0:21:41roads north of the Central Belt, as well. Inland, we are looking at
0:21:41 > 0:21:45gusts around 40 to 50, with exposure in the coast, 60 to 70. It will be
0:21:45 > 0:21:51windy tonight, not quite as strong, though. We still have the rain and
0:21:51 > 0:21:54increasingly the rain turning the snow, again not just on the hills in
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Scotland. Here, it will be cold. The cold air is starting to filter
0:21:58 > 0:22:02further south as we go through the course of the night. Tomorrow, we
0:22:02 > 0:22:07start off with this rain and snow in the north. Increasingly through the
0:22:07 > 0:22:12day it will start to recede. We lose the rain from south-east England. In
0:22:12 > 0:22:15between, a lot of dry weather, some showery breaks as well coming
0:22:15 > 0:22:20through. But again, a blustery day. Temperature-wise, look how this
0:22:20 > 0:22:24column of air is continuing to filter south. The far south of
0:22:24 > 0:22:28England hangs on to the double digit temperatures, and also south Wales,
0:22:28 > 0:22:33as well. As we move into Friday we still have low pressure to the north
0:22:33 > 0:22:37and the south of us, dragging this weather front, bringing some rain in
0:22:37 > 0:22:40the southern counties. The wind comes to a more north and
0:22:40 > 0:22:45north-westerly direction, and that is a colder direction for us. The
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Friday and into the weekend, it is going to turn colder as illustrated
0:22:48 > 0:22:54by the blue in the charts, some of us will see regular showers, some of
0:22:54 > 0:22:57us winter showers, and some of us sunshine. At times it will be
0:22:57 > 0:22:59blustery as well, so it is
0:22:59 > 0:22:59sunshine. At times it will be blustery as well, so it is all
0:22:59 > 0:23:04happening in the weather.Isn't it? And a rainy day for some of us
0:23:04 > 0:23:05today.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09It is a big day for the Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, who will deliver
0:23:09 > 0:23:10his budget later.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Its contents won't be a complete surprise,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14though, as we have already been given some insight
0:23:14 > 0:23:16about the Government's plans for the coming year.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Steph is here.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22What can we expect?
0:23:22 > 0:23:28We get an update, first, on the economy.Yes, we get an update on
0:23:28 > 0:23:39the economy, how much we have been borrowing and the like.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43There is still a lot of detail to come, but here are some
0:23:43 > 0:23:44of the big things.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48First up, amongst all the numbers we will hear today, we will learn
0:23:48 > 0:23:51how much cash the Government has to borrow to run the country.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Because we have a deficit, meaning the Government spends more
0:23:54 > 0:23:57money every month than it has coming in, it thought we would have
0:23:57 > 0:24:00to borrow £58.3 billion this year to cover the difference.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04In fact, the Government has spent a bit less and made a bit more
0:24:04 > 0:24:06in taxes than we thought this year.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11What can the cube and you tell us about homes? Building homes is a big
0:24:11 > 0:24:16part of it.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19We already know that the Government is committing itself to 300,000
0:24:19 > 0:24:24new homes in England.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29That is around double what we are building at the moment.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33What we don't know is what that will cost, where he will get
0:24:33 > 0:24:36the cash from, nor where those houses will be built,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38or in fact what kinds of homes that will be.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Worth adding here that house-building decisions
0:24:40 > 0:24:45is devolved, so Scotland and Wales will be making
0:24:45 > 0:24:47their own choices, too.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49They are hoping new houses will attract young voters back
0:24:49 > 0:24:50to the Conservatives.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53What else are they offering for young people from this Budget?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56The other big announcement is extending the young person's
0:24:56 > 0:24:58railcard, currently only for those aged 16-25,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01but from next year will be available up to the age of 30.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05It is not free, it will cost £30, but will offer a third off
0:25:05 > 0:25:13most non-peak fares.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15This is one of a handful of policy announcements.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18He is also investing in skills and education for hi-tech jobs
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and courses designed to appeal to younger votes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23The Conservative Government are worried they are losing ground
0:25:23 > 0:25:30to Labour there.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35You must remember your young person's card, to take it with you,
0:25:35 > 0:25:41as well. And this public sector pay going to feature?
0:25:41 > 0:25:48And there is growing pressure to increase public-sector pay.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Police and prison officers have had modest pay increases,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54but teachers, nurses, doctors and others have had a cap
0:25:54 > 0:26:05on their wages for seven years.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08It would cost about £6 billion a year, but that squeeze
0:26:08 > 0:26:18on families is hurting.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21One of the big financial watchdogs said one in six households
0:26:21 > 0:26:24with a mortgage would struggle to absorb an extra £50
0:26:24 > 0:26:34a month in bills.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38There is so much for the Chancellor to try and do. Thank you very much,
0:26:38 > 0:26:47and I love your cubes.Is that the special budget cube? I would like to
0:26:47 > 0:26:51get the cube back as a regular feature. What does the cube think of
0:26:51 > 0:26:53this?
0:26:53 > 0:30:16Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Top temperature, about 14 Celsius.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
0:30:20 > 0:30:22in half an hour.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41since the Second World War and today Ratko Mladic is expected to be found
0:30:41 > 0:30:46guilty of genocide.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48We'll get reaction from former BBC foreign correspondent
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Martin Bell, who gave evidence at the trial.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53The government wants driverless cars to be ferrying us
0:30:53 > 0:30:54around within three years.
0:30:54 > 0:31:05So we've taken one for a test drive to see whether they're on track.
0:31:05 > 0:31:13If I could have the pleasure of your company...Sweet, sweet...I'd stay
0:31:13 > 0:31:17on key and tried to say hello. You're doing great.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Praise indeed from Bing Crosby, who Sir Michael Parkinson credits
0:31:19 > 0:31:22as one of the artists who helped shape his life.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25The chat show host will be here to tell us more
0:31:25 > 0:31:29about the soundtrack to some of his most special memories.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31That's wonderful!
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Good morning, here's a summary of this morning's
0:31:33 > 0:31:37main stories from BBC News:

0:31:49 > 0:31:53Hammond will be seeking to restore the government's fortunes after
0:31:53 > 0:31:58months of Tory infighting over Brexit and two Cabinet
0:31:58 > 0:32:03resignations in recent weeks.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Zimbabwe's former Vice President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is expected
0:32:05 > 0:32:09to be sworn in as the country's new leader in the next two days.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Wild celebrations have been taking place overnight
0:32:11 > 0:32:13in the captial Harare, following the resignation
0:32:13 > 0:32:14of Robert Mugabe as President.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Mr Mnangagwa's sacking earlier this month prompted the military
0:32:16 > 0:32:19intervention last week, which brought to an end Mr Mugabe's
0:32:19 > 0:32:2637-year grip on power.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29A UN war crimes tribunal is due to deliver its verdict later this
0:32:29 > 0:32:32morning on a former Bosnian-Serb general, Ratko Mladic,

0:32:35 > 0:32:36since the Second World War.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Mladic is charged with the murders of 8,000 Muslim men
0:32:39 > 0:32:40and boys in Srebrenica in 1995,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42as well as the four-year siege of Sarajevo,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44in which 10,000 people died.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47The 74-year-old has been on trial at The Hague for more
0:32:47 > 0:32:49than five years.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51There are fears the crew of a submarine that disappeared
0:32:51 > 0:32:54in the southern Atlantic could be running out of oxygen.
0:32:54 > 0:32:5644 people are on board the San Juan,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58which went missing last Wednesday after it reported
0:32:58 > 0:32:59an electric breakdown.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02A spokesman for the Argentine navy said the massive search operation
0:33:02 > 0:33:15would continue until the vessel is found.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18The American actor and musician David Cassidy, has died in hospital

0:33:23 > 0:33:25before having a successful solo music career.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29At the peak of his fame in the 1970s, his fan club had more

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Tributes have been paid to the comic actor Rodney Bewes,
0:33:34 > 0:33:35who has died aged 79.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38English girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses,
0:33:38 > 0:33:43like wallpaper on the march!
0:33:43 > 0:33:46He found fame playing Bob Ferris in the BBC sitcom The Likely Lads
0:33:46 > 0:33:48alongside James Bolam, although the pair eventually fell
0:33:48 > 0:33:50out in real life.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52He went on to enjoy other roles on stage and screen,
0:33:52 > 0:33:59including a sitcom he wrote called Dear Mother...Love Albert.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04Some lovely tributes being paid to him and David Cassidy overnight as
0:34:04 > 0:34:04well.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Uber has admitted that it concealed a massive global breach
0:34:08 > 0:34:10of the personal information of 57 million customers and drivers,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12which took place in October last year.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15The firm confirmed it had paid the hackers responsible £75,000
0:34:15 > 0:34:17to delete the data, which included customer names,
0:34:17 > 0:34:24e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Alcohol can shape a person's mood according to the type of drink,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29according to a major new study.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Research from the Global Drug Survey found links
0:34:31 > 0:34:34between types of alcohol and the emotions they create.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36For example, spirits were associated with feelings of aggression,
0:34:36 > 0:34:42while beer was linked to feeling relaxed.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45It's nearly Thanksgiving and that means the annual November ritual
0:34:45 > 0:34:48of Presidential turkey pardoning in the United States.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50President Trump used his authority to grant a turkey
0:34:50 > 0:34:52freedom from the dinner table.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57It's a White House tradition which goes back to the 19th century.
0:34:57 > 0:35:04Rather ironically, this year, the lucky bird's name was Drumstick.
0:35:04 > 0:35:12Drumstick will not be on a table or be a drumstick this year.I never
0:35:12 > 0:35:17find out what happens to them once they have been pardoned.Some
0:35:17 > 0:35:21investigative journalism for next year.Maybe they go on holiday
0:35:21 > 0:35:27somewhere. Back to a farm?A lovely farm.Maybe it's only a pardon for
0:35:27 > 0:35:34one year. Is that bad?He could be next year's drumstick. Good morning.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Do you remember when Liverpool came back from 3-0 down and won the
0:35:39 > 0:35:45Champions League in 2005.I was there in Istanbul.It was on the
0:35:45 > 0:35:48other foot last night, not quite the Champions League but they could have
0:35:48 > 0:35:52made it through to the knockout stages.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Well, last night the football boot was very much on the other foot.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Victory over Sevilla in Spain would have seen Liverpool qualify
0:35:59 > 0:36:01for the knock out stages of the competition for the first
0:36:01 > 0:36:03time in nine years.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06They were 3-0 up after half an hour thanks to Roberto Firmino
0:36:06 > 0:36:07and Sadio Mane.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10They collapsed in the second half and conceded an equaliser deep
0:36:10 > 0:36:10into injury time.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13A draw in their final game against Spartak Moscow will see
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Jurgen Klopp's side through.
0:36:15 > 0:36:182/2 times, two different half times, fantastic first half from us, from
0:36:18 > 0:36:23my side, from my team, in the second half we made a mistake and we didn't
0:36:23 > 0:36:27carry on playing football. It's normal that you try to control the
0:36:27 > 0:36:32game but a team like we are, we have to control the game with the ball
0:36:32 > 0:36:33and we didn't play football any more.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Tottenham ensured they'll finish top of their group after they came
0:36:36 > 0:36:38from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Harry Kane equalised and then Dele Alli set up Heung Min Son
0:36:41 > 0:36:42as Spurs won 2-1.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45It means they'll definitely finish above champions Real Madrid whatever
0:36:45 > 0:36:47happens in the last round of games.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50And Manchester City know they'll also be top of their group,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52though they left it late to beat Feyenoord.
0:36:52 > 0:37:04Raheem Sterling's goal won it for them at the Etihad.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07England striker Jodie Taylor will leave Arsenal Women and sign
0:37:07 > 0:37:10for Australian side Melbourne City for six weeks before moving
0:37:10 > 0:37:13to Seattle Reign in the US on a permanent basis.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Taylor was the top goalscorer at Euro 2017,
0:37:15 > 0:37:17scoring five goals for England in four appearances.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20She's been at Arsenal since March 2016 but says she's looking
0:37:20 > 0:37:25for a fresh challenge.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29They've been probably the most dominant club. The core group of
0:37:29 > 0:37:34players, the core values of the team, the location as well,
0:37:34 > 0:37:37absolutely love the Pacific Northwest. The thing I admire the
0:37:37 > 0:37:41most about Seattle as well is the drive and motivation they've got to
0:37:41 > 0:37:43succeed and to keep pushing forward.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46England's women secured a series victory over Canada with a Test
0:37:46 > 0:37:49to spare with a comfortable 49-12 win at Twickenham last night.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Captain Sarah Hunter led out her side on her 100th cap
0:37:52 > 0:37:55in a fixture that saw the Red Roses score eight tries,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57with Rachel Burford and 18-year-old Ellie Kildunne
0:37:57 > 0:37:58both crossing twice.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00England will secure a series whitewashwith victory in the final
0:38:00 > 0:38:10Test on Saturday.
0:38:10 > 0:38:16If you had a more productive night than Wigan winger Ryan Corr cloth
0:38:16 > 0:38:28than let us know -- Ryan Colclough.
0:38:28 > 0:38:35I think I have gone ahead on the story!You can tell us about it
0:38:35 > 0:38:43later maybe tomorrow?It's fine. Ryan Colclough, scored two goals and
0:38:43 > 0:38:48then went off to see the birth of his baby.You can do it now, here we
0:38:48 > 0:39:02go.It is just a photo.We have got a photo of the cricket crazy
0:39:02 > 0:39:11actually, we have got it!There we go, we have got it.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15The White House turkeys go off to a farm and live their life out in
0:39:15 > 0:39:20peace. Between 2005 and 2009 they were sent to Disneyland.That sounds
0:39:20 > 0:39:22a bit made up!
0:39:22 > 0:39:25It's been described as the most significant war crime
0:39:25 > 0:39:25trial since Nuremberg.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Later this morning the UN's International Criminal Tribunal
0:39:27 > 0:39:31for the former Yugoslavia will deliver its verdict in the case
0:39:31 > 0:39:31of Ratko Mladic.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34The former Bosnian Serb warlord is expected to be found
0:39:34 > 0:39:36guilty of committing the last genocide in Europe.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39In a moment we'll speak to Martin Bell, the former BBC
0:39:39 > 0:39:41correspondent who covered the conflict.
0:39:41 > 0:39:50First, let's remind ourselves of some of Mladic's alleged crimes.
0:39:50 > 0:39:57His name is Ratko Mladic, but to most of the world he'll be
0:39:57 > 0:40:01remembered by his nickname, the Butcher of Lyon Balkans. As
0:40:01 > 0:40:05commander of the Bosnian Serb forces when Yugoslavia collapsed into
0:40:05 > 0:40:10brutal civil war in the early 1990s, he is accused of playing a leading
0:40:10 > 0:40:15role in two of the most notorious horrors of that conflict. The
0:40:15 > 0:40:18four-year siege of Sarajevo claimed at least 10,000 lives, while the
0:40:18 > 0:40:23genocide of 8000 men and boys in the town of Srebrenica was Europe's
0:40:23 > 0:40:27worst atrocity since the Second World War. When the conflict ended
0:40:27 > 0:40:34in 1995, Mladic went into hiding but was captured after 16 years. Now
0:40:34 > 0:40:39aged 74, he's been on trial at The Hague since 2012, charged with two
0:40:39 > 0:40:44counts of genocide and nine of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48The UN tribunal will deliver its verdict later this morning.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Martin Bell covered those events as a Foreign correspondent
0:40:51 > 0:40:52for the BBC and was injured
0:40:52 > 0:40:54by shrapnel while reporting from Sarajevo.
0:40:54 > 0:41:03We can speak to him now.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07In some ways this is an historic moment but let's take you back to
0:41:07 > 0:41:11those days when you were reporting on what was going on, and many of
0:41:11 > 0:41:14our audience will remember your reporting but some of this was
0:41:14 > 0:41:20horrific, wasn't it?It was an ordeal for everyone. The siege of
0:41:20 > 0:41:27Sarajevo lasted for 3.5 years. The war itself for that long. 98,000
0:41:27 > 0:41:33people were killed in that war, not just Muslims, what we now call
0:41:33 > 0:41:38Bosnia acts, but Serbs and Croats as well. Something like 2 million were
0:41:38 > 0:41:43driven from their homes in a country of only 4.5 million so it was a long
0:41:43 > 0:41:47ordeal and a terrible conflict and I always argue we could have brought
0:41:47 > 0:41:54to -- brought it to an end earlier. You think Britain could have played
0:41:54 > 0:41:59a role to make a difference?The Western democracies were rather
0:41:59 > 0:42:04hands off from the start, believing this was the revival of ancient
0:42:04 > 0:42:09hatreds. I remember talking to a senior officer has it all ended and
0:42:09 > 0:42:13I said, Major, actually, he was a colonel, you could have stopped this
0:42:13 > 0:42:18earlier, he said yes and. At the time of the Srebrenica massacre, we
0:42:18 > 0:42:23all remember today, the deliberate killing of 8000 men and boys, there
0:42:23 > 0:42:29were 34,000 UN troops in Bosnia, the leading contributors contributors
0:42:29 > 0:42:33were the English and the Dutch but there was in the political will to
0:42:33 > 0:42:38save those people.Tell us about Ratko Mladic's role in this, you met
0:42:38 > 0:42:47him, what was his role and what was he like?We met him and he said he
0:42:47 > 0:42:51didn't need the press because he would be exonerated by history. In
0:42:51 > 0:42:56the eyes of the soldiers under his command he was a good soldier. He
0:42:56 > 0:43:00was a frontline soldier. He was a professional soldier. He saw himself
0:43:00 > 0:43:11as being correct. But something happened in the siege of Sarajevo.
0:43:11 > 0:43:16... Srebrenica was meant to be a UN declared safe area but it wasn't.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21The Serbs took it on the 12th of July, 1995. There was no attempt by
0:43:21 > 0:43:27Nato or the UN force to save it, and what happened happened. It was a
0:43:27 > 0:43:32total tragedy.You gave evidence I know in the trial, what will happen
0:43:32 > 0:43:37today do you think? How significant is all of this, the fact he's been
0:43:37 > 0:43:41on trial?I think it's very significant. Of course he was in
0:43:41 > 0:43:45hiding for a long time. These trials are immensely protected and his has
0:43:45 > 0:43:49been going on for five years, but this is the last case before the war
0:43:49 > 0:43:54crimes tribunal at The Hague which started its first case, I was there,
0:43:54 > 0:43:59in June, 1990s X, this is its last case and its biggest case and maybe
0:43:59 > 0:44:06it's defining case -- 1996. There is some pros is of international
0:44:06 > 0:44:11justice but it has been flawed. -- process. Many war criminals who
0:44:11 > 0:44:15should have been brought before the tribunal happened been.What about
0:44:15 > 0:44:18the sentence, what would be appropriate in your view?It's for
0:44:18 > 0:44:26the judge to decide. This is an old and sick man and even a short
0:44:26 > 0:44:30sentence in his case would probably be a life sentence. But for the
0:44:30 > 0:44:35victims and the families of the victims of the Srebrenica massacre,
0:44:35 > 0:44:39it represents a kind of necessary closure.Martin Bell, we appreciate
0:44:39 > 0:44:45your time. Thanks for talking to us on Breakfast.
0:44:45 > 0:44:50We will bring you details on that judgement at some stage on the BBC
0:44:50 > 0:44:51today.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
0:44:55 > 0:45:00I know it is not all about us, Carol, but when I got out of bed it
0:45:00 > 0:45:04was raining the entire way this morning. How was it looking for the
0:45:04 > 0:45:08rest of the UK?You are right, there is definitely rain in the forecast,
0:45:08 > 0:45:12the heaviest in south-west Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England
0:45:12 > 0:45:17and north Wales. But there is also rain elsewhere as well. A windy day
0:45:17 > 0:45:22across England and Wales. Gusts up to 70 miles an hour with exposure.
0:45:22 > 0:45:27Inland gust, 40 to 50 mph. What is driving our weather is low pressure
0:45:27 > 0:45:30today. We have low pressure in the north and in the south. This is
0:45:30 > 0:45:35where the heaviest, most persistent rain will be, and you can see how
0:45:35 > 0:45:38the isobars squeeze together as we go through the morning, into the
0:45:38 > 0:45:42afternoon. So the wind is going to strengthen during that period. First
0:45:42 > 0:45:46thing this morning across south-west England there is a lot of dry
0:45:46 > 0:45:50weather around, a fair bit of cloud as well, and it is the same across
0:45:50 > 0:45:54southern counties, into East Anglia and the Midlands. The cloud is thick
0:45:54 > 0:45:58enough for the odd spot of rain, or indeed some drizzle, but the other
0:45:58 > 0:46:04thing you will notice is it is very mild. Rain already coming across
0:46:04 > 0:46:07north-west England, heading into the north-east, the same southern
0:46:07 > 0:46:10England. In Scotland it is chilly and we have some rain with a wintry
0:46:10 > 0:46:14flavour across the Northern Isles. You have the rain already in
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Northern Ireland. The wind here is lighter and you will have rain on
0:46:17 > 0:46:20and off for the day. The rain continuing to drift eastwards
0:46:20 > 0:46:23through the day and here as well this the wind will strengthen. The
0:46:23 > 0:46:26rain moves across southern and central Scotland, it moves across
0:46:26 > 0:46:31northern England and all of Wales. I had a bit there will be a fair bit
0:46:31 > 0:46:35of cloud, but we will some dull Maxis some breaks around parts of
0:46:35 > 0:46:38the Midlands, especially East Anglia and the south-east. Don't forget the
0:46:38 > 0:46:42wind is going to be a feature of the weather today across England, and
0:46:42 > 0:46:45also Wales. Very mild in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, cooler
0:46:45 > 0:46:49in Scotland with some hill snow. Through the evening and overnight,
0:46:49 > 0:46:54although the winds will easy touch, it will be a windy night and a wet
0:46:54 > 0:46:58one, and by the end of the night we will not just be seeing snow on the
0:46:58 > 0:47:03heels of Scotland. Some of that will be at lower levels as well. Here it
0:47:03 > 0:47:06will be cold, as it will be in northern England and Northern
0:47:06 > 0:47:09Ireland. We are just hanging the milder conditions in the south.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Tomorrow we start off with the remnants of the rain eventually
0:47:12 > 0:47:16pushing away from the south-east. We will still have some snow for a time
0:47:16 > 0:47:20north of the Central Belt, but even at lower levels for a time, and a
0:47:20 > 0:47:23rush of showers coming in around the area of low pressure. In between,
0:47:23 > 0:47:27there will be a fair bit of sunshine. No heat wave because you
0:47:27 > 0:47:32can see the colder air already in the north is starting to push that
0:47:32 > 0:47:34it further south to all but the far
0:47:34 > 0:47:34the north is starting to push that it further south to all but the far
0:47:34 > 0:47:39south-east of England.I don't think your dresses are that similar. I
0:47:39 > 0:47:44know you said that.Don't you?The colours are the same, but a very
0:47:44 > 0:47:49different styles. Yours is a bit more of a round neck, Carol's is
0:47:49 > 0:47:55different.That was so observant, I didn't notice that.I didn't notice
0:47:55 > 0:48:00you had a haircut until our viewers pointed it out. I am trying to get
0:48:00 > 0:48:00better.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03At lunchtime today the Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, will deliver
0:48:03 > 0:48:06a Budget he hopes will appeal to many, from big business
0:48:06 > 0:48:08to students and parents to the retired.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12But it is not going to be an easy job to balance both public-pleasing
0:48:12 > 0:48:13policies with spending within our means.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Steph has been chatting to one family about the options,
0:48:16 > 0:48:25and how they might affect them.
0:48:25 > 0:48:32The fact that we now have a budget each year, rather than the budget,
0:48:32 > 0:48:37there is a lot of focus on it. He is trying to make sure he provides the
0:48:37 > 0:48:41services we need, and pays those providing them the right money,
0:48:41 > 0:48:45while also not spending too much money, it is that balancing act that
0:48:45 > 0:48:49to be honest we as households have to do as well. You have to make sure
0:48:49 > 0:48:53you are not spending more than you are bringing in as income. So,
0:48:53 > 0:48:57because it is putting a lot of pressure on families at the moment,
0:48:57 > 0:49:02with the cost of living going up and wait is not going up as fast, I went
0:49:02 > 0:49:05to talk to the Richardsons, from Darlington.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07Nicola is a teacher, Dave is a postman.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11They have a little boy already, and a new baby on the way.
0:49:11 > 0:49:22So I joined them and Nicola's mum, Susan, for a brew.
0:49:22 > 0:49:28How old is Alfie?Here's two.And you have another one on the way?
0:49:28 > 0:49:33Yes, another boy, just for fun.What would you say is the biggest thing
0:49:33 > 0:49:37that, like Tom you worry about in terms of money?Things like food
0:49:37 > 0:49:42prices going up, and petrol always seems to be changing. And it does
0:49:42 > 0:49:49make a difference, week on week.Our weekly food bill has gone up, hasn't
0:49:49 > 0:49:54it, 10%, 20% more?The amount of money that's been added to our fuel
0:49:54 > 0:49:57bills has been quite phenomenal.We think twice about putting the
0:49:57 > 0:50:02heating on, sometimes, don't we? In the 1960s and 1970s you wouldn't
0:50:02 > 0:50:07have had the heating on all the time, if you have it.We probably
0:50:07 > 0:50:11didn't worry as much about fuel bills. Fuel poverty is not a term
0:50:11 > 0:50:17that used to hear, you do now, people having to make choices
0:50:17 > 0:50:21between heating and eating.How is life as a teacher at the moment?
0:50:21 > 0:50:26Have you seen your salary change at all?We have had 0.5% increases, but
0:50:26 > 0:50:31it has been frozen for the last five years or so. We have had a lot of
0:50:31 > 0:50:34family and friends that have lost their jobs, and have had to find
0:50:34 > 0:50:38them with not much warning. A bit of a pressure point, isn't it, because
0:50:38 > 0:50:43there are not enough jobs to go around, is there?And if you do, it
0:50:43 > 0:50:47is part-time or have agency staff where you are not even getting
0:50:47 > 0:50:54minimum wage after all the fees. So it is tough.Do you think it is
0:50:54 > 0:50:58tougher in the north-east?Yes, you feel a bit left home. People say, oh
0:50:58 > 0:51:03yes, wages are writing -- rising.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17This is the kind of area
0:51:17 > 0:51:20where jobs in the public sector
0:51:20 > 0:51:26Were the best jobs you could get. What about the future?They might be
0:51:26 > 0:51:31doing jobs that don't exist yet. Going back to the 70s, things won't
0:51:31 > 0:51:37that easy, actually, anyway. And we did have a mortgage, and of course
0:51:37 > 0:51:40interest rates were in, like, double figures that you were paying back
0:51:40 > 0:51:45then. So I don't know whether we were better off then, but I think we
0:51:45 > 0:51:50felt things were improving.We are just trying to do our best for the
0:51:50 > 0:51:55next two, so to speak and have some fun on the way. As we have got a
0:51:55 > 0:51:59nice house, we have got some food on the covers, that kind of thing. And
0:51:59 > 0:52:09a lot of people don't actually have that, very often.Say goodbye,
0:52:09 > 0:52:18Steph.Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22They are very typical of lots of families, really. Families very much
0:52:22 > 0:52:25living within their means but having to cut back on things because of
0:52:25 > 0:52:31cost of has been going up while at the same time that he hasn't. They
0:52:31 > 0:52:34have less money to spend on things they normally would have. They were
0:52:34 > 0:52:38telling me they don't really go abroad for holidays, and they are
0:52:38 > 0:52:42really frugal with their shopping, and things. And it is interesting
0:52:42 > 0:52:46because the Financial Conduct Authority has done some research on
0:52:46 > 0:52:49families generally and how they would cope if Ilves went up for
0:52:49 > 0:52:53them, and they worked out that one in six households with a mortgage
0:52:53 > 0:52:58would really struggle struggled to cope with a £50 increase in bills
0:52:58 > 0:53:06every month. It wouldn't take much for a family like that to be unable
0:53:06 > 0:53:10to get their head above water. So it will be interesting to see whether
0:53:10 > 0:53:15she gets a pay rise as a teacher, or local services in their areas, as
0:53:15 > 0:53:20well, and the job situation.If you are on that budget line, than those
0:53:20 > 0:53:23small changes can make a difference either way.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Staying with the budget, and the Chancellor is due
0:53:26 > 0:53:28to announce regulation changes which would allow more driverless
0:53:28 > 0:53:30cars to be tested on Britain's roads.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33But you might not be aware that some robotic vehicles are already
0:53:33 > 0:53:34on our streets.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36You might even pass one today.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38So would you trust a vehicle that controls itself?
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott has been
0:53:40 > 0:53:46for a test-drive.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50It is not just humans that must learn to drive. Computers need
0:53:50 > 0:53:54lessons as well, and they have to start from scratch. One lesson the
0:53:54 > 0:53:58car has got to learn is that things look different in the autumn. So the
0:53:58 > 0:54:03leaves might be orange but not green, but it has got to know it is
0:54:03 > 0:54:07still a tree. It has also got to know what to do if a pedestrian
0:54:07 > 0:54:10doesn't this. This is what the computer store, and there is me,
0:54:10 > 0:54:14looking like a character in a videogame. What is extraordinary
0:54:14 > 0:54:18about this car is how ordinary it looks. It's going to be driving
0:54:18 > 0:54:21around the streets of Oxfordshire and London, you will barely notice
0:54:21 > 0:54:26any difference, apart from the writing down the side. But it is
0:54:26 > 0:54:29fully autonomous. Sir Alex, do you want to get the computer driving.
0:54:29 > 0:54:36Yes, it is just a single press of a button. I press that button on the
0:54:36 > 0:54:40car takes over.And it is just as we are coming to a roundabout, as well,
0:54:40 > 0:54:44so let's see how it copes with the first proper obstacle. We are on a
0:54:44 > 0:54:47test track, but this car has been driving on normal roads, dealing
0:54:47 > 0:54:50with the usual daily obstacles, cyclists, buses, and some unusual
0:54:50 > 0:54:54ones as well. You may have crossed in front of it without realising, or
0:54:54 > 0:54:58you may have seen this and wondered what was going on. The on-board
0:54:58 > 0:55:01computer has been learning all those things you can't really teach.
0:55:01 > 0:55:07Honestly, the truly hard thing about living in autonomous car is all the
0:55:07 > 0:55:10unexpected crazy stuff that can happen on the road. You would never
0:55:10 > 0:55:13think to programme about, dropped shopping bags in the middle of the
0:55:13 > 0:55:17street, it could be a shopping trolley that is blowing in the wind.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20We were once somewhere and a whole bunch of pheasants flew in very
0:55:20 > 0:55:24quickly from the side. We were fine with that stuff, but those were
0:55:24 > 0:55:28things that you wouldn't script as part of your driving test.The
0:55:28 > 0:55:31government says it wants robotic cars driving us around within three
0:55:31 > 0:55:35years. But for some that seems ambitious. They still need to sort
0:55:35 > 0:55:40the insurance, to work out what happens if the human driver has to
0:55:40 > 0:55:44suddenly take back control. And they have got to convince people that it
0:55:44 > 0:55:49is safe.I think it is really scary. Look at some of the drivers
0:55:49 > 0:55:52nowadays, they go on the wrong side of the roads. So what computer
0:55:52 > 0:55:57driven cars would be like, I don't know.I heard someone say how does
0:55:57 > 0:56:02it make decisions like, say, it was going to crash into a kid or an
0:56:02 > 0:56:07adult? It make decisions like that, moral sort of stuff?I think it is a
0:56:07 > 0:56:10good idea, but obviously I have concerns with regards to not having
0:56:10 > 0:56:14a human intelligence. It is a machine, at the end of the day.
0:56:14 > 0:56:19Computer drives your power forward you. So what do you do? You are a
0:56:19 > 0:56:24passenger? Can you get some sleep? It is up to you.No way. As long as
0:56:24 > 0:56:30I could steer it, maybe.Britain is a front runner in driverless vehicle
0:56:30 > 0:56:34software, and that should be worth billions.Think really big. Think
0:56:34 > 0:56:38about all the vehicles that move. Yes, autonomous vehicles are
0:56:38 > 0:56:42amazing, but think about all the forklifts, all the vehicles at
0:56:42 > 0:56:46airports, imports, in farms, in mines, these are all vehicles that
0:56:46 > 0:56:52had to answer questions, where am I, what is around me, what do I do?
0:56:52 > 0:56:56They are already answering those questions.Robot cars are already
0:56:56 > 0:57:00driving on our roads but it will be a few years before you can go and
0:57:00 > 0:57:05buy one.
0:57:05 > 0:57:11I think I would trust a driverless car.I like to be in control of my
0:57:11 > 0:57:14own destiny.What if you had a driverless car but you were able to
0:57:14 > 0:57:19take over. So you could be there, but if anything went wrong.Would
0:57:19 > 0:57:23you be concentrating at the right moment?That is not the point, is
0:57:23 > 1:00:46it?I am a little bit sceptical.Ten years, we will all be there.
1:00:46 > 1:00:50head into Friday. It is getting much cooler for the weekend.
1:00:50 > 1:00:51head into Friday. It is getting much cooler for the weekend.

1:00:55 > 1:00:57preview.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:01:00 > 1:01:02The Chancellor Philip Hammond promises to use
1:01:02 > 1:01:04today's budget to secure a bright future for Britain.
1:01:04 > 1:01:07The famous red box is expected to contain plans
1:01:07 > 1:01:10for housing and schools, but Mr Hammond is a man under
1:01:10 > 1:01:13pressure from all sides.
1:01:13 > 1:01:17I'll be looking at the economics.
1:01:17 > 1:01:20I've been finding out how members from one family are feeling
1:01:20 > 1:01:21the squeeze and what the Chancellor can best do to help them.
1:01:35 > 1:01:44Good morning, it's Wednesday the 22nd of November.
1:01:44 > 1:01:45Also on the programme:
1:01:45 > 1:01:47A new dawn for the people of Zimbabwe
1:01:47 > 1:01:50after President Mugabe's 37 years in power come to an end.
1:01:50 > 1:01:52How different types of alcohol bring out different emotions,
1:01:52 > 1:01:57a major study looks at the link between your drink and your mood.
1:01:57 > 1:02:01Liverpool throw away a 3-0 lead in Seville,
1:02:01 > 1:02:02meaning qualification for the knockout stages
1:02:02 > 1:02:05of the Champions League will have to wait a little longer.
1:02:05 > 1:02:07And Carol has the weather.
1:02:07 > 1:02:13Good morning.
1:02:13 > 1:02:14Good morning.
1:02:14 > 1:02:18A fairly cloudy day ahead with heavy and persistent rain in the north and
1:02:18 > 1:02:22west. Brighter skies in East Anglia and the south-east and a windy day
1:02:22 > 1:02:28across England and Wales. More details in 15 minutes.
1:02:28 > 1:02:28Good morning.
1:02:28 > 1:02:30First, our main story.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32The Chancellor Philip Hammond will present his Budget
1:02:32 > 1:02:33in Parliament later.
1:02:33 > 1:02:36He'll set out what he describes as his plans to seize
1:02:36 > 1:02:38the opportunities from Brexit, while tackling deep-seated economic
1:02:38 > 1:02:40challenges in the country head on.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43Mr Hammond is under pressure to balance the books but also ease
1:02:43 > 1:02:50austerity amid significant tensions within the Tory party.
1:02:50 > 1:02:51Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports.
1:02:51 > 1:02:56When the Chancellor opens his red box to reveal his tax and spending
1:02:56 > 1:03:00plans, money will be tight, as the government keeps saying.
1:03:00 > 1:03:03The Chancellor's under huge pressure to loosen the purse strings to put
1:03:03 > 1:03:08more cash into public services like the NHS.
1:03:08 > 1:03:11But few expect the Chancellor to go on a big spending spree.
1:03:11 > 1:03:15Brexit is the backdrop to everything in Westminster.
1:03:15 > 1:03:18The tensions over the talks with Brussels and division
1:03:18 > 1:03:23in government over the EU don't make the Chancellor's job any easier.
1:03:23 > 1:03:27Any controversial budget plans, like tax rises or spending cuts,
1:03:27 > 1:03:29will be a difficult sell without an overall majority
1:03:29 > 1:03:33in the Commons.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36The Tories' hope for a reboot at the General Election
1:03:36 > 1:03:39and the party conference both failed.
1:03:39 > 1:03:43Now many think it's up to the Chancellor to deliver a big
1:03:43 > 1:03:45budget that will trigger the revival the party
1:03:45 > 1:03:49and the Prime Minister need.
1:03:49 > 1:03:51The stakes are high for the Chancellor, and with some
1:03:51 > 1:03:55in his own party wanting him sacked, any slipups and he could find
1:03:55 > 1:03:56himself out of a job.
1:03:56 > 1:04:01Eleanor Garnier, BBC News, Westminster.
1:04:01 > 1:04:07And Eleanor joins us now from Downing Street.
1:04:07 > 1:04:08The papers
1:04:08 > 1:04:12The papers are full of pre- analysis. You talked about in there,
1:04:12 > 1:04:17but there's a lot of pressure to get this right, isn't there?They're
1:04:17 > 1:04:21absolutely is. I think the Chancellor has very little room for
1:04:21 > 1:04:26and over, both politically and financially. There are many
1:04:26 > 1:04:30conservatives in Westminster who would like the budget to lift the
1:04:30 > 1:04:34party's post-election gloom, to banish those memories of recent
1:04:34 > 1:04:39cabinet resignations -- little room for manoeuvre. And his move over the
1:04:39 > 1:04:42internal tensions over Brexit but they know the Chancellor is starting
1:04:42 > 1:04:47with a week and -- and to smooth over. We know there will be plans
1:04:47 > 1:04:52for the housing crisis and how to tackle it. -- weak hand. There will
1:04:52 > 1:04:56be extra money for teacher training across England and more cash to
1:04:56 > 1:05:01boost the number of students taking maths after 16. For young voters,
1:05:01 > 1:05:06those discounted rail cards are being extended from 26 to 30
1:05:06 > 1:05:10-year-olds. But will there be any good news on pay for public sector
1:05:10 > 1:05:15workers and what can the Chancellor do to ease those concerns over the
1:05:15 > 1:05:19waiting time for Universal Credit? He's really under a huge amount of
1:05:19 > 1:05:23pressure. Labour is urging the Chancellor to call time on austerity
1:05:23 > 1:05:28and to boost public services. But the Chancellor will try to improve
1:05:28 > 1:05:33the government's fortunes, but he knows, and I think politicians here
1:05:33 > 1:05:37know, that the backdrop, both economically and financially, leave
1:05:37 > 1:05:41him with very few options.Eleanor, we will be discussing this
1:05:41 > 1:05:44throughout the programme. Thank you for the moment.
1:05:44 > 1:05:47There have been euphoric scenes in Zimbabwe following the resignation
1:05:47 > 1:05:48of Robert Mugabe as President.
1:05:48 > 1:05:51The sacking of Emmerson Mnangagwa earlier this month prompted military
1:05:51 > 1:05:54intervention a week ago, which brought to an end Mr Mugabe's
1:05:54 > 1:05:5537-year grip on power.
1:05:55 > 1:05:58Mr Mnangagwa is expected to be sworn in as the country's
1:05:58 > 1:05:59new leader in the next two days.
1:06:02 > 1:06:07Ben Brown is in Harare this morning. It's been good to talk to you over
1:06:07 > 1:06:10the last few days, despite the celebrations we've seen this morning
1:06:10 > 1:06:15and last night, really uncertain in Zimbabwe at the moment?Absolutely
1:06:15 > 1:06:21right, Dan. There are a few sore heads in Harare this morning, people
1:06:21 > 1:06:25were partying in the streets right through the night. Wild
1:06:25 > 1:06:30celebrations. As people wake up now to what they hope is a new dawn and
1:06:30 > 1:06:35a new era for Zimbabwe, they will, as the euphoria subsides, the a bit
1:06:35 > 1:06:39wary about this man, Emmerson Mnangagwa, the former vice president
1:06:39 > 1:06:44-- be a bit wary. Let's talk about him and who he was under the Mugabe
1:06:44 > 1:06:50regime, he was one of Mugabe's key henchmen, a man accused of brutal
1:06:50 > 1:06:54repression, rigging elections and human rights abuses, corruption,
1:06:54 > 1:06:59known as the Crocodile, but he fell out with the Mugabes, he fled for
1:06:59 > 1:07:03his life, he said he would be arrested and killed so he went into
1:07:03 > 1:07:08exile earlier this month. Today he's coming back and in a few hours we
1:07:08 > 1:07:12think he will be sworn in either today or tomorrow as the new
1:07:12 > 1:07:17president. People here are hoping because he's an economic reformer,
1:07:17 > 1:07:21it is said, and potentially a pragmatist, he could be a much
1:07:21 > 1:07:25better ruler than Robert Mugabe. But no one is quite sure, they want to
1:07:25 > 1:07:30keep a close eye on him, and as one opposition leader said, we've
1:07:30 > 1:07:34replaced a tyrant but not Mr Serevi a tyranny.Then, thanks for that, we
1:07:34 > 1:07:42will be back in Harare later to get more reaction to that news -- Ben --
1:07:42 > 1:07:46but not necessarily a tyranny.
1:07:46 > 1:07:49A UN war crimes tribunal is due to deliver its verdict later this
1:07:49 > 1:07:51morning on a former Bosnian-Serb general Ratko Mladic,
1:07:51 > 1:07:53who's accused of orchestrating the worst act
1:07:53 > 1:07:56of genocide in Europe since the Second World War.
1:07:56 > 1:07:59Mladic is charged with the murders of 8,000 Muslim men
1:07:59 > 1:08:00and boys in Srebrenica
1:08:00 > 1:08:01in 1995, as well as the four-year
1:08:01 > 1:08:04siege of Sarajevo, in which 10,000 people died.
1:08:04 > 1:08:07Now aged 74, he's been on trial at The Hague for more
1:08:07 > 1:08:08than five years.
1:08:13 > 1:08:17Baidu Lawney is there this morning. People will want to know what his
1:08:17 > 1:08:22sentence will be and it's a significant day, isn't it?It is
1:08:22 > 1:08:26hugely significant. Picking up the morning papers here in Bosnia, we've
1:08:26 > 1:08:30got the headline, judgement for the blood letter. Look over my shoulder
1:08:30 > 1:08:35and you will see the white tombstones in the graveyard on the
1:08:35 > 1:08:39Hill in Sarajevo, many people who died in the siege of Sarajevo,
1:08:39 > 1:08:4310,000 are buried up there. There's a children's monument in the middle
1:08:43 > 1:08:46of town which is pretty heartbreaking. I've been there with
1:08:46 > 1:08:51a father who lost his teenage son during the siege and to be honest,
1:08:51 > 1:08:55it is hard not to be moved when he puts a photograph of it next to the
1:08:55 > 1:08:59monument and kissing it, the stakes are high for people and they are
1:08:59 > 1:09:03eagerly waiting what will happen with Ratko Mladic in The Hague.
1:09:03 > 1:09:10Thanks very much. . It will take about an hour to read the verdict.
1:09:10 > 1:09:13There are fears the crew of a submarine that disappeared
1:09:13 > 1:09:15in the southern Atlantic could be running out of oxygen.
1:09:15 > 1:09:1844 people are on board the San Juan,
1:09:18 > 1:09:20which went missing last Wednesday after it reported
1:09:20 > 1:09:22an electric breakdown.
1:09:22 > 1:09:25A spokesman for the Argentine navy said the massive search operation
1:09:25 > 1:09:27would continue until the vessel is located.
1:09:27 > 1:09:30We will be speaking to someone who's been helping with the rescue effort
1:09:30 > 1:09:35and people involved in that a little bit later.
1:09:35 > 1:09:38The American actor and musician, David Cassidy, has died in Florida
1:09:38 > 1:09:39at the age of 67.
1:09:39 > 1:09:41He was admitted to hospital last week after suffering
1:09:41 > 1:09:42multiple organ failure.
1:09:42 > 1:09:45The '70s icon shot to fame in the sitcom
1:09:45 > 1:09:47The Partridge Family before going on to have a successful
1:09:47 > 1:09:49solo career in music.
1:09:49 > 1:09:53At the peak of his fame in the 1970s his fan club had more members than
1:09:53 > 1:09:58those of the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
1:09:58 > 1:10:01Tributes have been paid to the comic actor Rodney Bewes,
1:10:01 > 1:10:02who has died aged 79.
1:10:02 > 1:10:05English girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses,
1:10:05 > 1:10:06like wallpaper on the march!
1:10:06 > 1:10:10He found fame playing Bob Ferris in the BBC sitcom The Likely Lads
1:10:10 > 1:10:12alongside James Bolam, although the pair eventually fell
1:10:12 > 1:10:13out in real life.
1:10:13 > 1:10:16He went on to enjoy other roles on stage and screen,
1:10:16 > 1:10:20including a sitcom he wrote called Dear Mother...Love Albert.
1:10:20 > 1:10:24If you have a look at the BBC website, there's glowing tributes to
1:10:24 > 1:10:25Rodney Bewes.
1:10:25 > 1:10:29One of Hollywood's most successful animators and the co-founder
1:10:29 > 1:10:32of Disney's Pixar studio, John Lasseter, is the latest high
1:10:32 > 1:10:33profile media figure to face allegations
1:10:33 > 1:10:34of inappropriate behaviour.
1:10:34 > 1:10:37Lasseter, who worked on films such as Toy Story,
1:10:37 > 1:10:40A Bug's Life, and Frozen, is taking a six month leave
1:10:40 > 1:10:42of absence and has apologised for what he called missteps,
1:10:42 > 1:10:50including giving staff unwanted hugs.
1:10:50 > 1:10:52Uber has admitted that it concealed a massive global breach
1:10:52 > 1:10:55of the personal information of 57 million customers and drivers
1:10:55 > 1:10:57which took place in October last year.
1:10:57 > 1:10:59The ride-sharing firm confirmed it had paid the hackers
1:10:59 > 1:11:02responsible £75,000 pounds to delete the data, which included customer
1:11:02 > 1:11:15names, e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers.
1:11:15 > 1:11:19Did you know the type of alcohol you drink can affect your mood in
1:11:19 > 1:11:24different ways?
1:11:24 > 1:11:26Research from the Global Drug Survey found links
1:11:26 > 1:11:29between types of alcohol and the emotions they create.
1:11:29 > 1:11:31For example, spirits were associated with feelings of aggression,
1:11:31 > 1:11:35while beer was linked to feeling relaxed.
1:11:35 > 1:11:39That is good information to know. We will investigate that more later in
1:11:39 > 1:11:44the programme.
1:11:44 > 1:11:48Let's go back to something we've been discussing over the last few
1:11:48 > 1:11:54weeks. The vice president in Harare is expected to be sworn in following
1:11:54 > 1:12:05Robert Mugabe's resignation. The country is waking up to an uncertain
1:12:05 > 1:12:05future.
1:12:05 > 1:12:08In a moment, we'll speak to journalist
1:12:08 > 1:12:14Rashweat Mukundu, who's in Harare.
1:12:14 > 1:12:16First though, let's talk to activist Vimbai Musvaburi,
1:12:16 > 1:12:18who's also in the country's capital.
1:12:18 > 1:12:22We heard the scenes of celebration and we heard from Ben Brown in
1:12:22 > 1:12:28Harare this morning, has the news sunk in, how are you and other
1:12:28 > 1:12:32Zimbabweans feeling this morning? Thank you for having me on your show
1:12:32 > 1:12:38today. I must mention the fact I grew up on the streets of Southend
1:12:38 > 1:12:43in my teenage years so I'm excited to be on the show today. The
1:12:43 > 1:12:49excitement is still a pic. I must say it has begun to sink in. This is
1:12:49 > 1:12:54the time where we actually start to drill in the idea of having a new
1:12:54 > 1:13:00leader. -- dell epic. Especially because we've got the reality to
1:13:00 > 1:13:06face in regards to who is actually taking power next. -- still epic.
1:13:06 > 1:13:12The rumours do say that Emmerson Mnangagwa is being sworn in. But I
1:13:12 > 1:13:20must say that there is a lot of uncertainty with Zimbabweans. A lot
1:13:20 > 1:13:30of people are thinking, OK, is this going to be better? But I believe
1:13:30 > 1:13:34that Zimbabweans will not allow anybody to put them through what
1:13:34 > 1:13:38they've been put through by Robert Mugabe over the last three decades.
1:13:38 > 1:13:50We need change. Emmerson Mnangagwa maybe Mr B or C, but he is someone
1:13:50 > 1:14:03different and Zimbabwe is aware of their surroundings. INAUDIBLE they
1:14:03 > 1:14:08need to get to a point where democracy is taking place in our
1:14:08 > 1:14:13country.We are having a few sound issues but we will press on, we
1:14:13 > 1:14:19could also speak to Rashweat Mukundu in Harare. You spend time in the UK
1:14:19 > 1:14:23and you moved back to Zimbabwe ten years later, how did the country
1:14:23 > 1:14:30change in the time you were awake and what did you see?I can safely
1:14:30 > 1:14:35tell you that the country went down. I went back to Zimbabwe in 2009
1:14:35 > 1:14:41during the time where there was no food in the shops, people would
1:14:41 > 1:14:46queue up for anything because there was absolutely nothing, there was no
1:14:46 > 1:15:00maze, no, the trees, there was absolutely nothing to hold on to --
1:15:00 > 1:15:06no commodities. Compare to 1999 when I left, the country was in a better
1:15:06 > 1:15:13state of them as compared to 2009 -- compared to. Then at least there was
1:15:13 > 1:15:17still good education, there was still food and there were still
1:15:17 > 1:15:23jobs. The industries were still functional. The economy was still at
1:15:23 > 1:15:33a discussion phase. Now there's nothing to discuss. Eight years
1:15:33 > 1:15:38after I came back to Zimbabwe, it has deteriorated. There was an
1:15:38 > 1:15:41inclusive government at one point and we are now hopeful things will
1:15:41 > 1:15:49be better in our country. Now is an historical moment, Zimbabweans have
1:15:49 > 1:15:54a hope. They will be more active to make sure their country leads them
1:15:54 > 1:16:05to a better place.Listening to our correspondent that, and the change
1:16:05 > 1:16:08she saw in Zimbabwe, I wonder whether you think there will be real
1:16:08 > 1:16:18change? Yes, Mugabe may have gone, but ZANU PF is still there, and will
1:16:18 > 1:16:25the new man be any different?Well, we still have the same political
1:16:25 > 1:16:33situation with ZANU PF, and there is a high expectation that once the new
1:16:33 > 1:16:36leader pens his signature to the oath of office, he will begin to
1:16:36 > 1:16:40tackle the many challenges that Zimbabwe has been facing, especially
1:16:40 > 1:16:45for the past two decades. There is likely to be a crisis of
1:16:45 > 1:16:51expectations, in that there are enormous challenges, be they
1:16:51 > 1:16:55political or social, that Emmerson Mnangagwa has to tackle. The good
1:16:55 > 1:17:04thing is that a break with the past in Mnangagwa gives a chance to start
1:17:04 > 1:17:09on a clean slate, to introduce a new political approach to Zimbabwe, to
1:17:09 > 1:17:15introduce a new set of economic and socio political reforms. So he has
1:17:15 > 1:17:19the opportunity to be a reformist. He has the support of the people of
1:17:19 > 1:17:23Zimbabwe to start a New Movement in Zimbabwe, but the challenge is that
1:17:23 > 1:17:28the system that has been so used to patronage and corruption, that has
1:17:28 > 1:17:32been so used to impunity, may not allow him to reform the system. But
1:17:32 > 1:17:36what has happened is the people of Zimbabwe, they have a new-found
1:17:36 > 1:17:40confidence to confront the challenges that they have faced in
1:17:40 > 1:17:45the past 20 years.And I suppose one of the first week tests that will be
1:17:45 > 1:17:51next year, if Mr Mnangagwa gets into power, that there are free elections
1:17:51 > 1:17:56that he allows to take place next year in Zimbabwe.That is the
1:17:56 > 1:18:02biggest challenge for Mnangagwa, that he has to organise an election
1:18:02 > 1:18:07according to the Constitution. He has been giving the right statements
1:18:07 > 1:18:12up until now. He is expounding on the need for democracy, for unity,
1:18:12 > 1:18:18to focus on service delivery and reviving the economy. So he has to
1:18:18 > 1:18:23be held accountable by civil society and the opposition, so he can
1:18:23 > 1:18:27deliver on a free and fair election. Whereas I think there is an
1:18:27 > 1:18:31acceptance that this may not necessarily happen according to our
1:18:31 > 1:18:37expectation, I think the civil society in Zimbabwe is now
1:18:37 > 1:18:41emboldened to challenge the political elite, including Mnangagwa
1:18:41 > 1:18:45himself, should he fail to deliver on some of the promises he has made
1:18:45 > 1:18:50up until now.Really good to talk to you, a fascinating insight into what
1:18:50 > 1:18:55is happening in Zimbabwe this morning. I suppose the next question
1:18:55 > 1:18:59is what happens to Robert Mugabe himself, and hopefully we will find
1:18:59 > 1:19:01that out in the days and weeks to come.
1:19:01 > 1:19:08Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
1:19:08 > 1:19:14I am guessing from the picture it is going to be stormy.For some of us,
1:19:14 > 1:19:18it certainly is. We are looking at Dales with exposure in the west and
1:19:18 > 1:19:21south of England and Wales. If you are in the west, you have a
1:19:21 > 1:19:26combination of the wet and windy weather. We have been watching the
1:19:26 > 1:19:29rain gathering across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland, northern
1:19:29 > 1:19:32England and west Wales as we go through the early hours of today.
1:19:32 > 1:19:36That process will continue as it journeys northwards and eastwards.
1:19:36 > 1:19:41So pretty wet day ahead for Northern Ireland, but a mild one. Breezy
1:19:41 > 1:19:44ahead, the rain across northern Scotland. Brighter skies and a
1:19:44 > 1:19:49wintry mix across the Northern Isles. Coming south in the northern
1:19:49 > 1:19:52England, we have heavy and persistent rain across Cumbria,
1:19:52 > 1:19:56Lancashire, heading over the Pennines to the east. Coming south
1:19:56 > 1:20:00again, over the Midlands and East Anglia, a fair bit of cloud around,
1:20:00 > 1:20:07thick enough for the of rain. The same the south-west England. One or
1:20:07 > 1:20:11two brighter breaks, mild, a lot of cloud around, and the wind
1:20:11 > 1:20:15continuing to strengthen. The wind will continue to strengthen across
1:20:15 > 1:20:19Wales, and the wind will continue as well. The rain will clip south-west
1:20:19 > 1:20:23England, heading up towards Sheffield, Derbyshire, northern
1:20:23 > 1:20:27England and Scotland, following the snow in the hills. The wind
1:20:27 > 1:20:30strengthening this morning. It will be very windy by this afternoon
1:20:30 > 1:20:35across England and Wales. As I mentioned, gusts to gale force,
1:20:35 > 1:20:40severe gales with exposure but even inland we will have gusty winds. The
1:20:40 > 1:20:44brightest conditions will be in the sunshine in East Anglia and the
1:20:44 > 1:20:48south-east. As we head on through the evening and overnight, it will
1:20:48 > 1:20:51still be windy, just not quite as windy as during the day. It will
1:20:51 > 1:20:55still be wet and by the end of the night that rain will be readily
1:20:55 > 1:20:59turning to snow. Not just in the hills in Scotland but also at lower
1:20:59 > 1:21:03levels, north of the Central Belt. Cooler air pushing south, milder
1:21:03 > 1:21:06conditions in the south. Tomorrow we have the remnants of the rain
1:21:06 > 1:21:11clearing away from the south-east. Then there will be a lot of dry
1:21:11 > 1:21:14weather, a fair bit of sunshine around tomorrow, and increasingly as
1:21:14 > 1:21:18this band of rain edges northwards, it will tend to break up and
1:21:18 > 1:21:21fragment generally. Around the area of low pressure which is dominating
1:21:21 > 1:21:25our weather, we will see bands of showers. Tomorrow, you will notice
1:21:25 > 1:21:29the cool air starting to filter that bit further south. Into Friday, low
1:21:29 > 1:21:33pressure to the north and south, the front taking a swipe at us,
1:21:33 > 1:21:37introducing some rain, but the wind will be the salient thing once again
1:21:37 > 1:21:43as we head to Friday and the weekend. It has more of a northerly
1:21:43 > 1:21:46component to it, which is a cold direction for us, and into the
1:21:46 > 1:21:50weekend we can see how we are all bathed in cooler conditions. Into
1:21:50 > 1:21:59Sunday, the weather is all over the place at the moment.
1:21:59 > 1:22:01Sunday, the weather is all over the place at the moment.
1:22:01 > 1:22:07It is a day when we get out the most famous man bag in the country.I
1:22:07 > 1:22:14never thought of it as a man bag.I suppose the interesting thing is the
1:22:14 > 1:22:18contents and what will be in there. And before we get to the
1:22:18 > 1:22:22details of the budget today, we get an assessment of where we are as an
1:22:22 > 1:22:26economy at the moment.Yes, because before they give us where the money
1:22:26 > 1:22:30will be spent on the taxes put up, they will talk about what the
1:22:30 > 1:22:36forecasts are for the future. The Chancellor has to try and make sure
1:22:36 > 1:22:40this budget is as balanced as it possibly can be, so we are not
1:22:40 > 1:22:44spending more than we are actually bringing in from money we get from
1:22:44 > 1:22:50things like taxes.
1:22:50 > 1:22:53Plus, we have a deficit, meaning the Government spends more
1:22:53 > 1:22:55money every month than it has coming in.
1:22:55 > 1:22:57Yesterday, we learned that the Government did have
1:22:57 > 1:23:00to borrow more last month, mostly due to paying more interest
1:23:00 > 1:23:07on those debts.
1:23:07 > 1:23:11We can expect a bit more detail on how that will pan
1:23:11 > 1:23:27out later today.
1:23:27 > 1:23:32I do love the graphics you have here.Yes, the cube.Tell us about
1:23:32 > 1:23:40homes.Off and policies are leaked beforehand, because there is so much
1:23:40 > 1:23:44to get through in one day, they like to drip feed us a bit before.
1:23:44 > 1:23:47We already know that the Government is committing itself to 300,000
1:23:47 > 1:23:49new homes in England.
1:23:49 > 1:23:50Worth adding here that house-building decisions
1:23:50 > 1:23:53is devolved, so Scotland and Wales will be making
1:23:53 > 1:23:55their own choices, too.
1:23:55 > 1:23:58What we don't know is what that will cost, where he will get
1:23:58 > 1:24:01the cash from, nor where those houses will be built,
1:24:01 > 1:24:09or in fact what kinds of homes that will be.
1:24:09 > 1:24:12So watch out for that, plus possible changes to stamp duty,
1:24:12 > 1:24:19and help for first-time buyers.
1:24:19 > 1:24:21This is one of a handful of policy announcements.
1:24:21 > 1:24:24He is also investing in skills and education for hi-tech jobs
1:24:24 > 1:24:26and courses, designed to appeal to younger votes.
1:24:26 > 1:24:29The Conservative Government are worried they are losing ground
1:24:29 > 1:24:30to Labour there.
1:24:30 > 1:24:32The other big announcement is extending the young person's
1:24:32 > 1:24:34railcard, currently only for those aged 16-25,
1:24:34 > 1:24:38but from next year will be available up to the age of 30.
1:24:38 > 1:24:42It is not free, it will cost £30, but might make a difference to those
1:24:42 > 1:24:59who do a lot of travel for work.
1:24:59 > 1:25:02It is interesting is off-peak, because you can't necessarily use it
1:25:02 > 1:25:04to go to work.
1:25:04 > 1:25:06And this is unlikely, but unions, campaigners and politicians have
1:25:06 > 1:25:09been arguing to ease the cap on pay for five
1:25:09 > 1:25:10million public-sector workers.
1:25:10 > 1:25:12Police and prison officers have had modest pay increases,
1:25:12 > 1:25:15but teachers, nurses, doctors and others have had a cap
1:25:15 > 1:25:17on their wages for seven years.
1:25:17 > 1:25:18It ain't cheap.
1:25:18 > 1:25:20It would cost about £6 billion a year.
1:25:20 > 1:25:22But that squeeze on families is hurting.
1:25:22 > 1:25:24One of the big financial watchdogs said one in six households
1:25:24 > 1:25:27with a mortgage would struggle to absorb an extra £50
1:25:27 > 1:25:40a month in bills.
1:25:40 > 1:25:45There is some hope there will be a lift, and pay will go up, but it
1:25:45 > 1:25:57will cost an awful lot of money. You just mentioned the pressure, the
1:25:57 > 1:26:02front page of many of the papers is all about the budgets and stories
1:26:02 > 1:26:08about Zimbabwe as well. The wall with Hammond, pressure on the man
1:26:08 > 1:26:12himself, but also on the Prime Minister, she wanted information
1:26:12 > 1:26:17about schools in the budget. There will be so many eyes on what he says
1:26:17 > 1:26:22today.And it is interesting, I was talking to a minister last week who
1:26:22 > 1:26:27was saying we all want a bit but at the end of the day, it is the
1:26:27 > 1:26:31treasurer who will decide, and he will tell us exactly where the money
1:26:31 > 1:26:36is going to be going.There will of course be analysis across the BBC,
1:26:36 > 1:26:41and you are back here on Breakfast tomorrow to explain.Possibly with
1:26:41 > 1:26:49cubes, I quite like this little cube.It is a Monday to Thursday
1:26:49 > 1:26:50exclusive!
1:26:50 > 1:26:51You are watching Breakfast.
1:26:51 > 1:26:53Still to come this morning: Whether it makes you relaxed
1:26:53 > 1:26:56or aggressive, it is no secret alcohol affects people's moods.
1:26:56 > 1:26:59But new research suggests our feelings are actually related
1:26:59 > 1:27:00to what we drink.
1:27:00 > 1:27:04We will be speaking to the man behind that study to find out why.
1:27:04 > 1:27:13Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:27:13 > 1:30:33My mum banned me from wearing orange squash,
1:30:33 > 1:30:36and we'll really notice that as we head into Friday,
1:30:36 > 1:30:38and things getting much cooler for the weekend.
1:30:38 > 1:30:41I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
1:30:41 > 1:30:42in half an hour.
1:30:42 > 1:30:53Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:30:53 > 1:30:56Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News:
1:30:56 > 1:30:59Philip Hammond will present his budget in Parliament later today
1:30:59 > 1:31:01amid intense pressure to announce far-reaching measures to tackle
1:31:01 > 1:31:03the housing shortage, put more money into the NHS
1:31:03 > 1:31:04and he's austerity.
1:31:04 > 1:31:06Mr Hammond will be seeking to restore
1:31:06 > 1:31:09the government's fortunes after months of Tory infighting over
1:31:09 > 1:31:15Brexit and two Cabinet resignations in recent weeks.
1:31:15 > 1:31:18Zimbabwe's former vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is expected
1:31:18 > 1:31:21to be sworn in as the country's new leader in the next two days.
1:31:21 > 1:31:23Wild celebrations have been taking place overnight
1:31:23 > 1:31:25in the captial Harare, following the resignation
1:31:25 > 1:31:27of Robert Mugabe as President.
1:31:27 > 1:31:29Mr Mnangagwa's sacking earlier this month prompted the military
1:31:29 > 1:31:32intervention last week, which brought to an end Mr Mugabe's
1:31:32 > 1:31:3637-year grip on power.
1:31:36 > 1:31:40A UN war crimes tribunal is due to deliver its verdict later this
1:31:40 > 1:31:42morning on a former Bosnian-Serb general, Ratko Mladic,
1:31:42 > 1:31:45who's accused of orchestrating the worst act of genocide in Europe
1:31:45 > 1:31:46since the Second World War.
1:31:46 > 1:31:49Mladic is charged with the murders of 8,000 Muslim men
1:31:49 > 1:31:51and boys in Srebrenica in 1995,
1:31:51 > 1:31:53as well as the four-year siege of Sarajevo,
1:31:53 > 1:32:00in which 10,000 people died.
1:32:00 > 1:32:03The 74-year-old has been on trial at The Hague for more
1:32:03 > 1:32:07than five years.
1:32:07 > 1:32:09There are fears the crew of a submarine that disappeared
1:32:09 > 1:32:12in the southern Atlantic could be running out of oxygen.
1:32:12 > 1:32:1444 people are on board the San Juan,
1:32:14 > 1:32:17which went missing last Wednesday after it reported
1:32:17 > 1:32:18an electric breakdown.
1:32:18 > 1:32:21A spokesman for the Argentine navy said the massive search operation
1:32:21 > 1:32:28would continue until the vessel is found.
1:32:28 > 1:32:31The American actor and musician David Cassidy has died in hospital
1:32:31 > 1:32:33in Florida at the age of 67.
1:32:33 > 1:32:35He shot to fame in the sitcom The Partridge Family
1:32:35 > 1:32:37before having a successful solo music career.
1:32:37 > 1:32:41At the peak of his fame in the 1970s, his fan club had more
1:32:41 > 1:32:47members than those of The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
1:32:47 > 1:32:50Tributes have been paid to the comic actor Rodney Bewes,
1:32:50 > 1:32:51who has died aged 79.
1:32:51 > 1:32:57English girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses,
1:32:57 > 1:33:00like wallpaper on the march!
1:33:00 > 1:33:04He found fame playing Bob Ferris in the BBC sitcom The Likely Lads
1:33:04 > 1:33:06alongside James Bolam, although the pair eventually fell
1:33:06 > 1:33:07out in real life.
1:33:07 > 1:33:10He went on to enjoy other roles on stage and screen,
1:33:10 > 1:33:14including a sitcom he wrote called Dear Mother...Love Albert.
1:33:14 > 1:33:17One of Hollywood's most successful animators and the co-founder
1:33:17 > 1:33:19of Disney's Pixar studio, John Lasseter, is the latest high
1:33:19 > 1:33:21profile media figure to face allegations
1:33:21 > 1:33:26of inappropriate behaviour.
1:33:26 > 1:33:28Lasseter, who worked on films such as Toy Story,
1:33:28 > 1:33:33A Bug's Life, and Frozen, is taking a six month leave
1:33:33 > 1:33:36of absence and has apologised for what he called missteps,
1:33:36 > 1:33:41including giving staff unwanted hugs.
1:33:41 > 1:33:43Uber has admitted that it concealed a massive global breach
1:33:43 > 1:33:46of the personal information of 57 million customers and drivers,
1:33:46 > 1:33:48which took place in October last year.
1:33:48 > 1:33:51The firm confirmed it had paid the hackers responsible £75,000
1:33:51 > 1:33:53to delete the data, which included customer names,
1:33:53 > 1:34:02e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers.
1:34:02 > 1:34:06Alcohol can shape a person's mood according to the type of drink,
1:34:06 > 1:34:08according to a major new study.
1:34:08 > 1:34:10Research from the Global Drug Survey found links
1:34:10 > 1:34:12between types of alcohol and the emotions they create.
1:34:12 > 1:34:14For example, spirits were associated with feelings of aggression,
1:34:14 > 1:34:25while beer was linked to feeling relaxed.
1:34:25 > 1:34:29I suppose red wine affects you in a slightly different way as well?It
1:34:29 > 1:34:37makes you relaxed.Not you. I'm not saying you! You are swigging red
1:34:37 > 1:34:40wine every morning, Louise, I'm not sure that affects you... She doesn't
1:34:40 > 1:34:47by the way! I'm digging myself into a horrible hole here!You need to be
1:34:47 > 1:34:48pardoned!
1:34:48 > 1:34:50It's nearly Thanksgiving and that means the annual November ritual
1:34:50 > 1:34:53of Presidential turkey pardoning in the United States.
1:34:53 > 1:34:55President Trump used his authority to grant a turkey
1:34:55 > 1:34:56freedom from the dinner table.
1:34:56 > 1:35:00It's a White House tradition which goes back to the 19th century.
1:35:00 > 1:35:07Rather ironically, this year, the lucky bird's name was Drumstick.
1:35:07 > 1:35:12We found out earlier it goes to a farm and spends the rest of its life
1:35:12 > 1:35:16fluttering around and enjoying itself.Lucky Drumstick.Lucky
1:35:16 > 1:35:23Drumstick! Carol has the weather in about ten minutes.
1:35:23 > 1:35:27Sonali is talking here with reflections on the Champions League
1:35:27 > 1:35:34and less than a day before the Ashes?Shall we say it is today
1:35:34 > 1:35:44technically tomorrow but it is overnight.
1:35:44 > 1:35:51Jake Ball has been picked over Overton. England went confirmed the
1:35:51 > 1:35:54batting order until the toss. They are being pretty secretive about
1:35:54 > 1:35:56that.
1:35:56 > 1:35:59Captains Joe Root and Steve Smith have been posing with the big prize
1:35:59 > 1:36:01that is the little urn this morninng.
1:36:01 > 1:36:04England were beaten 5-0 the last time they toured Australia,
1:36:04 > 1:36:08and the Aussies haven't lost a Test match at the Gabba since 1986.
1:36:08 > 1:36:11The hosts by the way have called up all-rounder Glenn Maxwell as cover
1:36:11 > 1:36:13for opener David Warner, who has a neck problem,
1:36:13 > 1:36:16and Shaun Marsh, who has a sore back.
1:36:16 > 1:36:21I think we're about to, aren't we, to win here. It's a reason why
1:36:21 > 1:36:24Australia play the first test of a series here all the time because
1:36:24 > 1:36:30they've got such a good record here. But what a way to start the series.
1:36:30 > 1:36:36If we can go 1-0 up here it really upsets the apple and can give us a
1:36:36 > 1:36:45lot of going into the rest of it.-- a lot of momentum.
1:36:45 > 1:36:48Now many of you will remember Liverpool coming from 3-0 down
1:36:48 > 1:36:50to win the Champions League in 2005.
1:36:50 > 1:36:54Well, last night the football boot was very much on the other foot.
1:36:54 > 1:36:56Victory over Sevilla in Spain would have seen Liverpool qualify
1:36:56 > 1:36:59for the knock out stages of the competition for the first
1:36:59 > 1:37:01time in nine years.
1:37:01 > 1:37:04They were 3-0 up after half an hour thanks to Roberto Firmino
1:37:04 > 1:37:05and Sadio Mane.
1:37:05 > 1:37:08They collapsed in the second half and conceded an equaliser deep
1:37:08 > 1:37:08into injury time.
1:37:08 > 1:37:11A draw in their final game against Spartak Moscow will see
1:37:11 > 1:37:13Jurgen Klopp's side through.
1:37:13 > 1:37:15Two half-times, two different half-times, fantastic first half
1:37:15 > 1:37:19from us, from my side, from my team, in the second half we made a mistake
1:37:19 > 1:37:21and we didn't carry on playing football.
1:37:21 > 1:37:25It's normal that you try to control the game but a team like we are,
1:37:25 > 1:37:29we have to control the game with the ball and we didn't play
1:37:29 > 1:37:29football any more.
1:37:29 > 1:37:32Tottenham ensured they'll finish top of their group after they came
1:37:32 > 1:37:34from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund.
1:37:34 > 1:37:37Harry Kane equalised and then Dele Alli set up Heung Min Son
1:37:37 > 1:37:38as Spurs won 2-1.
1:37:38 > 1:37:41It means they'll definitely finish above champions Real Madrid whatever
1:37:41 > 1:37:43happens in the last round of games.
1:37:43 > 1:37:46And Manchester City know they'll also be top of their group,
1:37:46 > 1:37:48though they left it late to beat Feyenoord.
1:37:48 > 1:37:51Raheem Sterling's goal won it for them at the Etihad.
1:37:51 > 1:37:54England striker Jodie Taylor will leave Arsenal Women and sign
1:37:54 > 1:37:56for Australian side Melbourne City for six weeks before moving
1:37:56 > 1:37:59to Seattle Reign in the US on a permanent basis.
1:37:59 > 1:38:01Taylor was the top goalscorer at Euro 2017,
1:38:01 > 1:38:03scoring five goals for England in four appearances.
1:38:03 > 1:38:06She's been at Arsenal since March 2016 but says she's looking
1:38:06 > 1:38:07for a fresh challenge.
1:38:07 > 1:38:09They've been probably the most dominant club.
1:38:09 > 1:38:12The core group of players, the core values of the team,
1:38:12 > 1:38:13the location as well,
1:38:13 > 1:38:20absolutely love the Pacific Northwest.
1:38:20 > 1:38:23The thing I admire the most about Seattle as well is the drive
1:38:23 > 1:38:27and motivation they've got to succeed and to keep pushing forward.
1:38:27 > 1:38:30England's women secured a series victory over Canada with a Test
1:38:30 > 1:38:33to spare with a comfortable 49-12 win at Twickenham last night.
1:38:33 > 1:38:36Captain Sarah Hunter led out her side on her 100th cap
1:38:36 > 1:38:39in a fixture that saw the Red Roses score eight tries,
1:38:39 > 1:38:41with Rachel Burford and 18-year-old Ellie Kildunne
1:38:41 > 1:38:42both crossing twice.
1:38:42 > 1:38:44England will secure a series whitewashwith victory in the final
1:38:44 > 1:39:00Test on Saturday.
1:39:00 > 1:39:04And I don't know what you guys were doing last night but whatever
1:39:04 > 1:39:07it was I bet it wasn't as eventful as the night Wigan winger
1:39:07 > 1:39:08Ryan Colclough had.
1:39:08 > 1:39:10Playing against Doncaster Rovers, he scored two goals before
1:39:10 > 1:39:14being substituted so that he could see the birth of his second child.
1:39:14 > 1:39:17Colclough had already scored to put Wigan 2-0 up
1:39:17 > 1:39:20at half-time, when he found out his partner had gone into labour.
1:39:20 > 1:39:23But not content with dashing off to hospital he scored again
1:39:23 > 1:39:25but was taken off three minutes later.
1:39:25 > 1:39:28He made it to hospital still in his full kit.
1:39:28 > 1:39:30Wigan's chairman tweeted this picture after the game.
1:39:30 > 1:39:34Cutting it fine if you go back on the pitch! At least he made it, my
1:39:34 > 1:39:38husband never did for the birth of our second.And it isn't still sore,
1:39:38 > 1:39:42is it?Give me time!For the birth of our second I was in Wimbledon
1:39:42 > 1:39:45watching the first game ever under the roof, Murray against Wawrinka,
1:39:45 > 1:39:49the roof had been closed and I called my mother-in-law, she said my
1:39:49 > 1:39:55wife had gone into labour. That game went on until 11pm. I had to go
1:39:55 > 1:40:00early, I was the only person that left early.You won't let anybody
1:40:00 > 1:40:04forget that!I mention it now and again but obviously it was important
1:40:04 > 1:40:10to be there for the birth of our child!Oh, Sonali, how funny!These
1:40:10 > 1:40:11things happen!
1:40:11 > 1:40:15From unwinding at home with a glass of red to getting teary after one
1:40:15 > 1:40:17too many gin and tonics, different types of alcohol
1:40:17 > 1:40:20affect your mood in distinctive ways, according to a major
1:40:20 > 1:40:21new study.
1:40:21 > 1:40:23The research, which is due to be published
1:40:23 > 1:40:25in the British Medical Journal, found that spirits were associated
1:40:25 > 1:40:28with feelings of aggression, while red wine and beer were linked
1:40:28 > 1:40:29to being relaxed.
1:40:29 > 1:40:38We visited a bar in Salford to ask locals whether they agreed.
1:40:38 > 1:40:41I think that spirits make you feel like you're having a bit more fun
1:40:41 > 1:40:46but it's white wine, I do normally end up in a taxi in tears.
1:40:46 > 1:40:51I think it depends on the way you feel before you drink as well. It
1:40:51 > 1:40:56obviously has a dependent. Also you assume things like red wine make you
1:40:56 > 1:41:00more sleepy, but maybe you have red wine because you are more sleepy and
1:41:00 > 1:41:05maybe you drink gin and tonic because you may be feeling a bit
1:41:05 > 1:41:08unhappy. The main alcoholic beverages that I
1:41:08 > 1:41:12ever touch our wine or cider, and they don't make me feel any type of
1:41:12 > 1:41:16way because I don't drink enough for it to change my, kind of like,
1:41:16 > 1:41:23feeling in that moment.Run works out, it gives me, like, a lot of
1:41:23 > 1:41:29party energy. It feels silly to say that I feel a bit like a pirate.
1:41:29 > 1:41:30Yeah!
1:41:30 > 1:41:32We're joined now by Professor Mark Bellis,
1:41:32 > 1:41:34Director of Policy, Research and International Development
1:41:34 > 1:41:39for Public Health Wales and co-author of the report.
1:41:39 > 1:41:44I expect people watching today will have guessed different types of
1:41:44 > 1:41:47alcohol affect their mood, but what have you found?They do but
1:41:47 > 1:41:53particularly spirits have a stronger relationship with all sorts of
1:41:53 > 1:41:56emotions, feeling energised, confident, people might expect that
1:41:56 > 1:42:00but when you add into that it also makes people feel aggressive more
1:42:00 > 1:42:04often then we need to be more concerned about that. That's one
1:42:04 > 1:42:10thing with spirits. Red wine is more relaxed and more tired, and beer is
1:42:10 > 1:42:13somewhere in between about the sorts of emotions people expect when they
1:42:13 > 1:42:18drinking it.How did you do the test, how many people were in it and
1:42:18 > 1:42:23what was it a case of doing, taste this and tell us how you feel?It
1:42:23 > 1:42:29was a survey of 30,000 people.A big number?A big number of people from
1:42:29 > 1:42:3321 countries. To answer those questions, they had to drink all the
1:42:33 > 1:42:37different types of alcohol in the last 12 months so they could comment
1:42:37 > 1:42:41on the different sorts of emotions each drink gave.Was there a
1:42:41 > 1:42:44difference in different countries? There were differences between the
1:42:44 > 1:42:47countries but we haven't focused a lot on that because there are other
1:42:47 > 1:42:53differences. Certainly there will be cultural elements in there as well
1:42:53 > 1:42:58as the strength of the alcohol and the settings people drink in.How
1:42:58 > 1:43:02does that tally in terms of the different alcohol affecting people
1:43:02 > 1:43:06differently with the sort of volume consumed? Surely that is a factor as
1:43:06 > 1:43:11well?It's going to be a factor as well. Spirits may give you a bigger
1:43:11 > 1:43:15rush because they've got a higher alcohol concentration but people
1:43:15 > 1:43:19actually drink them in shops specifically to get drunk quickly,
1:43:19 > 1:43:24whereas red wine might be drunk with a meal quite slowly -- shots. It's a
1:43:24 > 1:43:28combination of the setting and the expectation people get from
1:43:28 > 1:43:32advertising.You found a difference between the way women and men feel
1:43:32 > 1:43:35about having drunk different types of alcohol?We get stronger
1:43:35 > 1:43:41emotional relationships with women across every type of emotion, except
1:43:41 > 1:43:50for aggression. We saw a stronger relationship with aggression in men.
1:43:50 > 1:43:54I'm not trying to be... I'm trying to dig a little, could the emotions
1:43:54 > 1:43:59be connected to the way people feel naturally? Is it the drink that
1:43:59 > 1:44:03brings out that emotion? If you are naturally aggressive then the drink
1:44:03 > 1:44:07might exacerbate that a little?We were careful we asked people who
1:44:07 > 1:44:11drank all those different types of alcohol, it wasn't someone who
1:44:11 > 1:44:15specifically drunk one type, it was someone who tried all of them. That
1:44:15 > 1:44:20should have effectively cancelled itself out.What can we learn from
1:44:20 > 1:44:23this? You work in public health, this is why you're interested, what
1:44:23 > 1:44:27could we learned that might make a difference?Especially at this time
1:44:27 > 1:44:30of year we expect people who are well-informed drinkers to make
1:44:30 > 1:44:36sensible choices about drinking and they see positive choices about
1:44:36 > 1:44:39alcohol at the moment, making sure people understand the negative sides
1:44:39 > 1:44:43of the thinking especially stronger drinks to push them to a point where
1:44:43 > 1:44:46they have a bad night is an important message. The more people
1:44:46 > 1:44:51drink the more they report positive emotions, but we see a rapid
1:44:51 > 1:44:56increase in heavy drinkers with negative emotions.Aggression for
1:44:56 > 1:45:01example. Thanks very much. A few comments here, too much gin can make
1:45:01 > 1:45:05me a aggressive says Emma, whiskey makes me feel happy and relaxed.
1:45:05 > 1:45:11Cheap spirits make me a emotional. Beer makes me sick and not calm.
1:45:11 > 1:45:15Wine, are used to strip the paint off the walls. This is rubbish, your
1:45:15 > 1:45:20choice of drink reflects your mood, not the other way round -- are used
1:45:20 > 1:45:23to. Thanks very much indeed and thanks
1:45:23 > 1:45:25for all your
1:45:25 > 1:45:29Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
1:45:29 > 1:45:30Good morning to you.
1:45:30 > 1:45:35Good morning to you. This morning it is pretty wet for some of us. It is
1:45:35 > 1:45:40also windy, the wind continuing to strengthen. And if you are in the
1:45:40 > 1:45:43west you will have both of those things as we go through the course
1:45:43 > 1:45:47of the day. We have been watching the rain coming in across Northern
1:45:47 > 1:45:50Ireland, parts of Wales, northern England, and the odd splash of rain
1:45:50 > 1:45:54here in there. The main bulk of it will be across Northern Ireland,
1:45:54 > 1:45:58northern England, southern Scotland and Wales, and that will be moving
1:45:58 > 1:46:02northwards as we go through the course of the day, leaving behind at
1:46:02 > 1:46:06a fair bit of cloud, some brighter rakes here and there, but the wind
1:46:06 > 1:46:08strengthening, that will be a feature of the weather across
1:46:08 > 1:46:12England and Wales today. For Northern Ireland, the rain will be
1:46:12 > 1:46:17with you for much of the day, on and off. As the rain engages with cold
1:46:17 > 1:46:21air across Scotland, you will find it in higher ground, north of the
1:46:21 > 1:46:25central belt, and it will be falling as snow. As we come towards northern
1:46:25 > 1:46:29England, there will be a lot of surface water and spray on the roads
1:46:29 > 1:46:32today. But a lot of cloud coming around that band of rain. Brighter
1:46:32 > 1:46:36skies with some sunny spells. Alone's share will be across East
1:46:36 > 1:46:39Anglia and the south-east, with temperatures easily into double
1:46:39 > 1:46:46figures. As we drift west, we run back into the cloud. Strong winds
1:46:46 > 1:46:49again, and that rain cribbing south-west England. To give you an
1:46:49 > 1:46:55idea of the strength of wind with exposure in the south, gusts of 60
1:46:55 > 1:47:01mph, inland, 40 to 50 mph. It will be windy and wet as our rain moves
1:47:01 > 1:47:04northwards and eastwards, and by the end of the night we will be seeing
1:47:04 > 1:47:08snow not only in the hills of Scotland, but also at lower levels,
1:47:08 > 1:47:12again this is north of the Central Lowlands. Tomorrow we start with
1:47:12 > 1:47:15that scenario are increasingly through the day, as this band of
1:47:15 > 1:47:19rain moves northwards it will start to fragment and become more patchy
1:47:19 > 1:47:22in nature, but low pressure is in charge of our weather, though all
1:47:22 > 1:47:26the showers are rotating around that area of low pressure. As we lose the
1:47:26 > 1:47:30rain around the south-east there will be a lot of dry weather and a
1:47:30 > 1:47:34lot of sunshine, but it is starting to feel colder. Those lower
1:47:34 > 1:47:37temperatures starting to seep further south. The far south of
1:47:37 > 1:47:40England and Wales hanging on double-figure temperatures. As we
1:47:40 > 1:47:45move on into Friday, low pressure to the north of us, low pressure to the
1:47:45 > 1:47:49south, various fronts taking a swipe at us, introducing some rain, but if
1:47:49 > 1:47:53you look at the air coming around the low pressure, it is coming from
1:47:53 > 1:47:57more of a northerly direction. That is a colder direction for us,
1:47:57 > 1:48:02illustrated quite nicely here as we go through Friday and into the
1:48:02 > 1:48:06weekend. It penetrates the whole of the UK but by the end of the weekend
1:48:06 > 1:48:10something a bit milder by the looks of it coming in from the west.
1:48:10 > 1:48:11something a bit milder by the looks of it coming in from the west. So it
1:48:11 > 1:48:15is all change once again.Thank you very much for that, precious
1:48:15 > 1:48:17information, the cold will bite this weekend.
1:48:17 > 1:48:19At lunchtime today the Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, will
1:48:19 > 1:48:20deliver the budget.
1:48:20 > 1:48:28Steph has been looking at what it might mean for families.
1:48:28 > 1:48:32We have just seen ministers going on for the prebudget meeting, but so
1:48:32 > 1:48:37much pressure on him today. And pressure on families, as well, you
1:48:37 > 1:48:43have been looking at that particular year.It is, we have been in a time
1:48:43 > 1:48:48of austerity for years now. For lots of people, their cost of living has
1:48:48 > 1:48:52been going up while they have not seen their pay go up. That means it
1:48:52 > 1:48:56feels like, in real terms you have less money to spend on the things
1:48:56 > 1:49:00you might have done in the past. That has put a lot of pressure on
1:49:00 > 1:49:05people. At the same time you have a government which is real in a lot of
1:49:05 > 1:49:09debt. We still have something like £1.8 trillion worth of debt. That is
1:49:09 > 1:49:13a totally unimaginable number, isn't it? And we haven't been able to pay
1:49:13 > 1:49:17down that debt, because we are still spending more than we are bringing
1:49:17 > 1:49:21in from taxes, so we are still in what we call the deficit. So what
1:49:21 > 1:49:26the Chancellor has to do is try and work out how to make sure the
1:49:26 > 1:49:29country can keep running, and we can keep providing the services we all
1:49:29 > 1:49:33need, and we'll have a nice life, and the same time not make that
1:49:33 > 1:49:37deficit any bigger. So eventually we can get rid of it and start paying
1:49:37 > 1:49:40off the debt. There is also pressure for families, themselves, with their
1:49:40 > 1:49:42own household budgets to run.
1:49:42 > 1:49:45So I went to chat to the Richardsons, from Darlington.
1:49:45 > 1:49:47Nicola is a teacher, Dave is a postman.
1:49:47 > 1:49:50They have a little boy already, and a new baby on the way.
1:49:50 > 1:49:53So I joined them and Nicola's mum, Susan, for a brew.
1:49:53 > 1:49:55How old is Alfie?
1:49:55 > 1:49:55He's two.
1:49:55 > 1:49:57And you have another one on the way?
1:49:57 > 1:49:59Yes, another boy, just for fun.
1:49:59 > 1:50:01What would you say is the biggest thing that,
1:50:01 > 1:50:04like, you worry about, in terms of money?
1:50:04 > 1:50:06Things like food prices going up, and petrol always seems
1:50:06 > 1:50:07to be changing.
1:50:07 > 1:50:09And it does make a difference, week on week.
1:50:09 > 1:50:12Our weekly food bill has gone up, hasn't it?
1:50:12 > 1:50:1310%, 20% more.
1:50:13 > 1:50:16The amount of money that's been added to our fuel bills has
1:50:16 > 1:50:17been quite phenomenal.
1:50:17 > 1:50:23We think twice about putting the heating on,
1:50:23 > 1:50:32sometimes, don't we?
1:50:32 > 1:50:35In the 1960s and 1970s, you wouldn't have had the heating
1:50:35 > 1:50:37on all the time, if you had it.
1:50:37 > 1:50:40We probably didn't worry as much about fuel bills.
1:50:40 > 1:50:42Fuel poverty is not a term that used to hear.
1:50:42 > 1:50:46You do now, people having to make choices between heating and eating.
1:50:46 > 1:50:48How is life as a teacher at the moment?
1:50:48 > 1:50:50Have you seen your salary change at all?
1:50:50 > 1:50:53We've had 0.5% increases, but it's been frozen for the last
1:50:53 > 1:50:59five years or so.
1:50:59 > 1:51:01We've had a lot of family and friends that have
1:51:01 > 1:51:05lost their jobs, and have had to find them with not much warning.
1:51:05 > 1:51:09A bit of a pressure point, isn't it, because there are not enough jobs
1:51:09 > 1:51:17to go around, is there?
1:51:17 > 1:51:20And if you do, it's part-time or have agency staff,
1:51:20 > 1:51:22where you're not even getting minimum wage,
1:51:22 > 1:51:23after all the fees.
1:51:23 > 1:51:24So it is tough.
1:51:24 > 1:51:27Do you think it is tougher in the north-east?
1:51:27 > 1:51:28Yes, you feel a bit left out.
1:51:28 > 1:51:30People say, oh, yeah, wages are rising.
1:51:30 > 1:51:34This is the kind of area where jobs in the public sector were the best
1:51:34 > 1:51:35jobs you could get.
1:51:35 > 1:51:37What about the future?
1:51:37 > 1:51:39They might be doing jobs that don't exist yet.
1:51:39 > 1:51:41Going back to the '70s, things weren't that
1:51:41 > 1:51:42easy, actually, anyway.
1:51:42 > 1:51:54And we did have a mortgage, and of course interest rates
1:51:54 > 1:51:57were in, like, double figures that you were paying back then.
1:51:57 > 1:52:00So I don't know whether we were better off then,
1:52:00 > 1:52:16but I think we felt things were improving.
1:52:16 > 1:52:21If we need a hospital we have to travel at least 20 miles. The
1:52:21 > 1:52:25hospital in town is being changed because of cutbacks, they are going
1:52:25 > 1:52:29to close the maternity wing and everything. We have never have
1:52:29 > 1:52:32envisaged that a town the size of Darlington would lose theirs.
1:52:32 > 1:52:35We're just trying to do our best for the next two, so to speak,
1:52:35 > 1:52:37and have some fun on the way.
1:52:37 > 1:52:41As we've got a nice house, we've got some food in the cupboards,
1:52:41 > 1:52:42that kind of thing.
1:52:42 > 1:52:45And a lot of people don't actually have that, very often.
1:52:45 > 1:52:46Say bye, Steph.
1:52:46 > 1:52:58Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye.
1:52:58 > 1:53:03That was the best goodbye I have ever had. That family very typical
1:53:03 > 1:53:06of lots of families under pressure.
1:53:06 > 1:53:09The Chancellor is also due to announce that driverless cars
1:53:09 > 1:53:13to be tested on Britain's roads, but you might not be aware that some
1:53:13 > 1:53:15robotic vehicles are already on our streets.
1:53:15 > 1:53:17Perhaps you will even pass one today.
1:53:17 > 1:53:19So would you trust a vehicle that controls itself?
1:53:19 > 1:53:21Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott has been
1:53:21 > 1:53:22for a test-drive.
1:53:22 > 1:53:24It is not just humans that must learn to drive.
1:53:24 > 1:53:28Computers need lessons too, and they have to start from scratch.
1:53:28 > 1:53:31One lesson the car has got to learn is that things look different
1:53:31 > 1:53:32in the autumn.
1:53:32 > 1:53:35So the leaves might be orange, but not green, but it has got
1:53:35 > 1:53:37to know it is still a tree.
1:53:37 > 1:53:41It has also got to know what to do if a pedestrian does this.
1:53:41 > 1:53:44This is what the computer saw, and there is me, looking
1:53:44 > 1:53:46like a character in a videogame.
1:53:46 > 1:53:49What is extraordinary about this car is how ordinary it looks.
1:53:49 > 1:53:51It's going to be driving around the streets of
1:53:51 > 1:53:54Oxfordshire and London.
1:53:54 > 1:53:57You will barely notice any difference, apart from the writing
1:53:57 > 1:53:59down the side, but it is fully autonomous.
1:53:59 > 1:54:02So Alex, do you want to get the computer driving?
1:54:02 > 1:54:04Yes, it's just a single press of a button.
1:54:04 > 1:54:07I press that button, and the car takes over.
1:54:07 > 1:54:10And it is just as we are coming to a roundabout, too,
1:54:10 > 1:54:13so let's see how it copes with the first proper obstacle.
1:54:13 > 1:54:14We're on a test track.
1:54:14 > 1:54:17But this car has been driving on normal roads,
1:54:17 > 1:54:19dealing with the usual daily obstacles, cyclists,
1:54:19 > 1:54:21buses, and some unusual ones, as well.
1:54:21 > 1:54:23You may have crossed in front of it without realising,
1:54:23 > 1:54:27or you may have seen this and wondered what was going on.
1:54:27 > 1:54:29The on-board computer has been learning all those things
1:54:29 > 1:54:30you can't really teach.
1:54:30 > 1:54:33Honestly, the truly hard thing about driving an autonomous car
1:54:33 > 1:54:36is all the unexpected crazy stuff that can happen on the road
1:54:36 > 1:54:38you would never think to programme about.
1:54:38 > 1:54:40Dropped shopping bags in the middle of the street.
1:54:40 > 1:54:43It could be a shopping trolley that's blowing in the wind.
1:54:43 > 1:54:47We were once somewhere and a whole bunch of pheasants flew in very
1:54:47 > 1:54:50quickly from the side.
1:54:50 > 1:54:53We were fine with that stuff, but those were things that
1:54:53 > 1:54:55you wouldn't script as part of your driving test.
1:54:55 > 1:54:58The Government says it wants robotic cars driving us around
1:54:58 > 1:55:00within three years.
1:55:00 > 1:55:02But, for some, that seems ambitious.
1:55:02 > 1:55:05They still need to sort the insurance, to work out
1:55:05 > 1:55:08what happens if the human driver has to suddenly take back control.
1:55:08 > 1:55:22And they have got to convince people that it is safe.
1:55:22 > 1:55:24I think it's really scary.
1:55:24 > 1:55:26Look at some of the drivers nowadays.
1:55:26 > 1:55:28They go on the wrong side of the roads,
1:55:28 > 1:55:31so what computer-driven cars would be like, I don't know.
1:55:31 > 1:55:34I heard someone say, how does it make decisions like,
1:55:34 > 1:55:37say, it was going to crash into a kid or an adult?
1:55:37 > 1:55:40How will it make decisions like that - moral sort of stuff?
1:55:40 > 1:55:43I think it's a good idea, but obviously I have concerns
1:55:43 > 1:55:45with regards to not having a human intelligence.
1:55:45 > 1:55:48It is a machine, at the end of the day.
1:55:48 > 1:55:51The computer drives your car for you, so what do you do?
1:55:51 > 1:55:52You are a passenger?
1:55:52 > 1:55:54Can you get some sleep?
1:55:54 > 1:55:55It is up to you.
1:55:55 > 1:55:56No way.
1:55:56 > 1:55:58As long as I could steer it, maybe.
1:55:58 > 1:56:00Britain is a frontrunner in driverless vehicle software,
1:56:00 > 1:56:02and that should be worth billions.
1:56:02 > 1:56:02Think really big.
1:56:02 > 1:56:04Think about all the vehicles that move.
1:56:04 > 1:56:06Yes, autonomous vehicles are amazing.
1:56:06 > 1:56:09But think about all the forklifts, all the vehicles at airports,
1:56:09 > 1:56:10in ports, in farms, in mines.
1:56:10 > 1:56:13These are all vehicles that have to answer questions.
1:56:13 > 1:56:16Where am I, what is around me, what do I do?
1:56:16 > 1:56:23They are already answering those questions.
1:56:23 > 1:56:25Robot cars are already driving on our roads,
1:56:25 > 1:56:35but it will be a few years before you can go and buy one.
1:56:35 > 1:56:42So many questions.That is fascinating. Carl says doesn't the
1:56:42 > 1:56:45government think our roads are dangerous enough, without backing
1:56:45 > 1:56:51self driving cars? Jenny says if you are able to throw a transparent
1:56:51 > 1:56:55ping-pong ball at a car from behind and it stops, she would consider
1:56:55 > 1:56:59buying one. And Rob makes the point, I never cease to be amazed that
1:56:59 > 1:57:06people are happy to take a long haul flight, the majority of which will
1:57:06 > 1:57:10be computer-controlled, yet worry about driving in a car in a similar
1:57:10 > 2:00:30fashion.
2:00:30 > 2:00:30in half an hour.
2:00:35 > 2:00:40Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:00:40 > 2:00:42It's make or break Budget for the Chancellor, Philip Hammond,
2:00:42 > 2:00:44as he promises to secure a bright future for Britain.
2:00:44 > 2:00:48The famous red box is expected to contain plans for housing
2:00:48 > 2:00:52and schools, but Mr Hammond is a man under pressure from all sides.
2:00:52 > 2:00:54I'll be looking at the economics.
2:00:54 > 2:00:56I've been finding out how families are feeling about their household
2:00:56 > 2:01:01budgets and what the Chancellor can best do to help them.
2:01:12 > 2:01:15Good morning. It's Wednesday, 22nd, November.
2:01:15 > 2:01:22Also this morning:
2:01:22 > 2:01:26A new dawn for the people of Zimbabwe after President Mugabe's
2:01:26 > 2:01:2937 years in power comes to an end.
2:01:29 > 2:01:32And how different types of alcohol bring out different emotions,
2:01:32 > 2:01:36a major study looks at the link between your drink and your mood.
2:01:36 > 2:01:42Good morning. In sport, England pick Jake Ball for the first Ashes Test
2:01:42 > 2:01:53which begins at midnight. # If I can have the pleasure of your
2:01:53 > 2:01:56company, sweet, sweet. #
2:01:56 > 2:01:58And the legendary chat show host Sir Michael Parkinson,
2:01:58 > 2:02:01who you can see duetting with Bing Crosby, will be
2:02:01 > 2:02:03here to tell us about some of the great musicians he's met
2:02:03 > 2:02:08and how their songs have influenced him.
2:02:08 > 2:02:12You may well be singing in the rain because there is rain in the
2:02:12 > 2:02:15forecast across the north and the west of the UK. Some of that's heavy
2:02:15 > 2:02:19and persistent. There is a lot of cloud as well. The brightest skies
2:02:19 > 2:02:22in East Anglia and the South East and it will be a windy day across
2:02:22 > 2:02:26England and Wales. But I'll have more in 15 minutes.Thank you,
2:02:26 > 2:02:31Carol. We will see you at 8.15am.
2:02:31 > 2:02:32Good morning.
2:02:32 > 2:02:34The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, will present his Budget
2:02:34 > 2:02:35in Parliament later.
2:02:35 > 2:02:38He'll set out what he describes as his plans to "seize
2:02:38 > 2:02:40the opportunities" from Brexit, while tackling deep-seated economic
2:02:40 > 2:02:42challenges in the country "head on".
2:02:42 > 2:02:44Mr Hammond is under pressure to balance the books
2:02:44 > 2:02:49but also ease austerity, amid significant tensions
2:02:49 > 2:02:50within his party.
2:02:50 > 2:02:51Our Political Correspondent, Eleanor Garnier, reports.
2:02:51 > 2:02:55When the Chancellor opens his red box to reveal his tax and spending
2:02:55 > 2:02:57plans, money will be tight, as the Government keeps saying.
2:02:57 > 2:03:01The Chancellor's under huge pressure to loosen the purse strings to put
2:03:01 > 2:03:07more cash into public services like the NHS.
2:03:07 > 2:03:11But few expect the Chancellor to go on a big spending spree.
2:03:11 > 2:03:14Brexit is the backdrop to everything in Westminster.
2:03:14 > 2:03:18The tensions over the talks with Brussels and division
2:03:18 > 2:03:24in government over the EU don't make the Chancellor's job any easier.
2:03:24 > 2:03:27Any controversial budget plans, like tax rises or spending cuts,
2:03:27 > 2:03:30will be a difficult sell without an overall
2:03:30 > 2:03:32majority in the Commons.
2:03:32 > 2:03:36The Tories' hope for a reboot at the general election and the party
2:03:36 > 2:03:37conference both failed.
2:03:37 > 2:03:40Now many think it's up to the Chancellor to deliver a big
2:03:40 > 2:03:43Budget that will trigger the revival the party and the
2:03:43 > 2:03:46Prime Minister need.
2:03:46 > 2:03:48The stakes are high for the Chancellor, and with some
2:03:48 > 2:03:51in his own party wanting him sacked, any slip-ups and he could find
2:03:51 > 2:04:01himself out of a job.
2:04:01 > 2:04:06Eleanor joins us now from Downing Street.
2:04:06 > 2:04:11The ministers have been arriving at Downing Street. Now, you say he is
2:04:11 > 2:04:15under pressure, and it's how he performs as well which will be
2:04:15 > 2:04:19coming under the spotlight today as well?That's right right, Dan, not
2:04:19 > 2:04:25just what he says, how he says it, how it is interpreted and how well
2:04:25 > 2:04:28all the measures he announces stack up as all the detail of the Budget
2:04:28 > 2:04:32is unpicked. Now we have just seen all the ministers arriving for their
2:04:32 > 2:04:35special Cabinet meeting ahead of the Budget this morning. I think we have
2:04:35 > 2:04:40seen the Brexit secretary, David Davis, the Education Secretary, just
2:04:40 > 2:04:45teen Greening, the new Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson who has
2:04:45 > 2:04:49only been in the past a matter of weeks and we have had the Business
2:04:49 > 2:04:51Secretary, the Northern Ireland Secretary, Boris Johnson, as well,
2:04:51 > 2:04:55the Foreign Secretary, they have all been going in this morning to get
2:04:55 > 2:04:59their first glimpse of the Budget, but as you say the Chancellor really
2:04:59 > 2:05:04does have very little room for manoeuvre, politically, but
2:05:04 > 2:05:06financially too and there are many Conservatives here in Westminster
2:05:06 > 2:05:12who would like this Budget to lift the party's post election gloom, to
2:05:12 > 2:05:17banish any memories of the recent Cabinet resignations and also smooth
2:05:17 > 2:05:21over those internal tensions over Brexit. But they know the Chancellor
2:05:21 > 2:05:27is starting with a very weak hand. We can expect in this Budget
2:05:27 > 2:05:30announcements on housing, tackling the housing crisis and also new
2:05:30 > 2:05:37money for schools, to get more pupils to study maths to A-level.
2:05:37 > 2:05:42Labour is calling on the Chancellor to end austerity and put more into
2:05:42 > 2:05:45public services. The Chancellor will try to improve the Government's
2:05:45 > 2:05:49fortunes, but the political and economic backdrop don't leave him
2:05:49 > 2:05:55many options.Eleanor, thank you very much. A busy day for Eleanor
2:05:55 > 2:05:59and Steph as well. You can see what's going to be said in the
2:05:59 > 2:06:03Budget at 12.30 throughout the BBC over the course of the next few
2:06:03 > 2:06:10hours. There will be in-depth analysis on Breakfast tomorrow.
2:06:10 > 2:06:13There have been euphoric scenes in Zimbabwe,
2:06:13 > 2:06:15following the resignation of Robert Mugabe after 37
2:06:15 > 2:06:18years as President.
2:06:18 > 2:06:20The Vice President, Mr Mnangagwa, who he sacked earlier this month,
2:06:20 > 2:06:23is expected to be sworn in as the country's new leader
2:06:23 > 2:06:24in the next two days.
2:06:24 > 2:06:27Our Correspondent, Ben Brown, is in Harare this morning.
2:06:27 > 2:06:35What is the future, is it sill uncertain, Ben?It is Louise. I
2:06:35 > 2:06:38think as that euphoria begins to subside people are asking a lot of
2:06:38 > 2:06:41questions, this new man, Emmerson Mnangagwa, the former
2:06:41 > 2:06:45Vice-President, he fell out with the Mugabes, he will be sworn in as
2:06:45 > 2:06:50president probably today, but he's got a very dodgy past. He was the
2:06:50 > 2:06:55strong man in the Mugabe regime. He was known as the Crocodile. He is
2:06:55 > 2:06:59alleged to have masterminded massacres in the 1980s. A lot of
2:06:59 > 2:07:03Human Rights abuses. He is alleged to have rigged elections as well.
2:07:03 > 2:07:06So, is Zimbabwe just swapping one tyrant for another? I think this
2:07:06 > 2:07:11country is going to have to be very careful. There are questions today
2:07:11 > 2:07:21about the Mugabes and what will happen to them. What about Grace
2:07:21 > 2:07:26Mugabe? A very reviled figure across this country, could she be
2:07:26 > 2:07:31prosecuted perhaps? She is accused of corruption on a large scale. All
2:07:31 > 2:07:37have the Mugabes been given private assurances about their safety and
2:07:37 > 2:07:42also immunity from prosecution. Some that we will have to wait and see.
2:07:42 > 2:07:46A UN war crimes tribunal is due to deliver its verdict later this
2:07:46 > 2:07:49morning on a former Bosnian-Serb general, Ratko Mladic,
2:07:49 > 2:07:52who's accused of orchestrating the worst act of genocide in Europe
2:07:52 > 2:07:59since the Second World War.
2:07:59 > 2:08:02Mladic is charged with the murders of 8,000 Muslim men
2:08:02 > 2:08:06and boys in Srebrenica in 1995, as well as the four-year
2:08:06 > 2:08:08siege of Sarajevo, in which 10,000 people died.
2:08:08 > 2:08:11Our Correspondent, Anna Holligan, is at The Hague, where the trial has
2:08:11 > 2:08:13been taking place for more than five years.
2:08:13 > 2:08:17What more do we know about whether he is going to be present for the
2:08:17 > 2:08:20verdict today? Because there were rumours that he might not be there?
2:08:20 > 2:08:24Indeed. His lawyers have been trying to delay this on the grounds of his
2:08:24 > 2:08:29ill-health. We understand he is expected to be in court today and
2:08:29 > 2:08:32it's very difficult to predict how he will behave because we have seen
2:08:32 > 2:08:37a whole range of antics over the past five years. He has been defiant
2:08:37 > 2:08:41throughout, despite the fact that he is a very frail old man now, 74
2:08:41 > 2:08:45years old. I want to show you the scene around here because it is
2:08:45 > 2:08:49pretty chaotic. This is probably one of the most significant judgments to
2:08:49 > 2:08:53be handed down by this court which is closing at the end of the year. I
2:08:53 > 2:09:06want to show you one image from the camp.
2:09:06 > 2:09:10This the victims want it to be about them. For so many he is the man who
2:09:10 > 2:09:14they feel is most responsible for their suffering. He was the
2:09:14 > 2:09:19commander of the army and two of the most notorious crimes, Srebrenica
2:09:19 > 2:09:26and the siege, the three year siege on Sarajevo, the most serious charge
2:09:26 > 2:09:29on the indictment is genocide and that's also the hardest to prove.
2:09:29 > 2:09:37The judges here have to be convinced that he acted with intent to create
2:09:37 > 2:09:41an ethnic pure estate.We were speaking to our correspondent
2:09:41 > 2:09:45earlier and he was saying how interested and how important this
2:09:45 > 2:09:53judgment is for so many people across Europe?Indeed. It was the
2:09:53 > 2:09:57worst atrocity committed in Europe since the Second World War. I want
2:09:57 > 2:10:01to show you around here we have some of the mothers. They were telling us
2:10:01 > 2:10:04it is partly this judgment is important partly because of history.
2:10:04 > 2:10:10It's will legacy. It's about how Mladic will go down history as a war
2:10:10 > 2:10:14hero as he is remembered by so many back home still or as a war
2:10:14 > 2:10:18criminal. A mass murderer, but it's also about the future. They say
2:10:18 > 2:10:23they're hoping that people who are in their 20s and 30s today are
2:10:23 > 2:10:28watching this and learning the lessons from the past.
2:10:28 > 2:10:33Anna, thank you very much for that. There is a lot going on around you
2:10:33 > 2:10:40this morning, but it is really interesting to see what is taking
2:10:40 > 2:10:43place at The Hague. I remember clearly that picture
2:10:43 > 2:10:47which was on the front page of Time magazine. Amazing to see that man
2:10:47 > 2:10:50there as well.
2:10:51 > 2:10:53There are fears the crew of a submarine that disappeared
2:10:53 > 2:10:56in the southern Atlantic could be running out of oxygen.
2:10:56 > 2:10:5944 people are on board the San Juan which went missing last
2:10:59 > 2:11:01Wednesday after it reported an electric breakdown.
2:11:01 > 2:11:04A spokesman for the Argentine Navy said the massive search
2:11:04 > 2:11:10operation would continue until the vessel is found.
2:11:10 > 2:11:14In the next half an hour, we are speaking to someone who is helping
2:11:14 > 2:11:18with the rescue effort and they will be explaining how they are trying to
2:11:18 > 2:11:22find the submarine. On every half-hour, everyone goes
2:11:22 > 2:11:26silent and you bang on the walls of the submarine and everyone is quiet.
2:11:26 > 2:11:31Hopefully they will be able to hear them.Fascinating detail. Hopefully
2:11:31 > 2:11:34we will get more on that rescue later on.
2:11:35 > 2:11:37The American actor and musician David Cassidy, has died in hospital
2:11:37 > 2:11:39in Florida at the age of 67.
2:11:39 > 2:11:42He shot to fame in the sitcom The Partridge Family before having
2:11:42 > 2:11:43a successful solo music career.
2:11:43 > 2:11:46At the peak of his fame in the 1970s, his fan club had more
2:11:46 > 2:11:51members than those of The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
2:11:51 > 2:11:53Tributes are being paid to the comic actor, Rodney Bewes,
2:11:53 > 2:11:59who died yesterday aged 79.
2:11:59 > 2:12:03English girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses like
2:12:03 > 2:12:06wallpaper on the march!
2:12:06 > 2:12:09He found fame playing Bob Ferris in the BBC sitcom The Likely Lads.
2:12:09 > 2:12:12He went on to enjoy other roles on stage and screen,
2:12:12 > 2:12:22including a sitcom he wrote called Dear Mother, Love Albert.
2:12:23 > 2:12:26Uber has admitted that it concealed a massive global breach
2:12:26 > 2:12:28of the personal information of 57 million customers
2:12:28 > 2:12:37and drivers, which took place in October last year.
2:12:37 > 2:12:41The firm confirmed it had paid the hackers responsible £75,000
2:12:41 > 2:12:43pounds to delete the data, which included customer names, e-mail
2:12:43 > 2:12:45addresses and mobile phone numbers.
2:12:45 > 2:12:47Let's return to our main story.
2:12:47 > 2:12:49The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, will be under pressure to announce
2:12:49 > 2:12:51far-reaching measures to tackle the housing crisis, boost public
2:12:51 > 2:12:54sector pay and ease austerity when he presents his Budget
2:12:54 > 2:12:56in Parliament later.
2:12:56 > 2:13:03Brexit is also likely to weigh heavily on his mind,
2:13:03 > 2:13:05following months of uncertainty and tensions within the Tory Party.
2:13:05 > 2:13:07Let's speak to the Justice Minister, Dominic Raab, who joins
2:13:07 > 2:13:08us from Westminster.
2:13:08 > 2:13:11Good morning to you. Thank you very much for joining us. We know the
2:13:11 > 2:13:14Chancellor is under Britishure from all sides including his own party.
2:13:14 > 2:13:20What is he going to offer today to families under pressure?We are
2:13:20 > 2:13:23focussed on building Britain for the future and you're right about the
2:13:23 > 2:13:25pressures. So I expect the Chancellor to take a balanced
2:13:25 > 2:13:30approach. We've cut the deficit, the Government deficit, by £100 billion,
2:13:30 > 2:13:33we've got to maintain responsible public finances otherwise we're
2:13:33 > 2:13:36heaping more debt on the next generation, but we've tried to keep
2:13:36 > 2:13:42taxes low. That's what helps business fire up the job creation
2:13:42 > 2:13:45that we have seen over the last eight years and provides the revenue
2:13:45 > 2:13:48to invest in our public services. I don't know the details, but I would
2:13:48 > 2:13:52expect focussed on two things. One investment in skills and
2:13:52 > 2:13:56infrastructure, things like rail and road because that's what boosts real
2:13:56 > 2:14:00wages for your viewers and secondly, we built 200,000 new homes last
2:14:00 > 2:14:06year. We want to do more on that, to deliver on the home owning democracy
2:14:06 > 2:14:09that's a Conservative vision and the British dream and we will hear more
2:14:09 > 2:14:13about that at 12.30.Is that enough to really make a difference? We know
2:14:13 > 2:14:17he botched the last Budget. The national insurance hike on
2:14:17 > 2:14:20self-employed having to reign back on that and he botched the
2:14:20 > 2:14:23preannouncement on this Budget saying there are no unemployed. Are
2:14:23 > 2:14:26you confident at this moment, this important moment for the country and
2:14:26 > 2:14:31for the party, he can get it right? Absolutely. I don't think a lot of
2:14:31 > 2:14:36voters and certainly a lot of your viewers care a lot about the
2:14:36 > 2:14:39Westminster drama and pantomime, what they care about is having a
2:14:39 > 2:14:43stable economy that's fit for the future and the percentage of workers
2:14:43 > 2:14:49in low paid work according to the Resolution Foundation is the lowest
2:14:49 > 2:14:54since the 80s, income equality is at the lowest since the 80s, as well as
2:14:54 > 2:14:59making sure we do the things that people expect, the incredible record
2:14:59 > 2:15:02of job creation under this government is not just meant people
2:15:02 > 2:15:06can look after themselves and their families, but has meant a massive
2:15:06 > 2:15:10increase in revenue that we can put into schools, into the NHS, and into
2:15:10 > 2:15:15other precious public services.But we know that the cost of living, for
2:15:15 > 2:15:20example, is going up. Wages are not keeping up.You're certainly right
2:15:20 > 2:15:23about the pinch on lower middle income families, but we know from
2:15:23 > 2:15:27the Bank of England inflation peaked at 3% in October and is now starting
2:15:27 > 2:15:32to come back down. You know, I might just say it reached 5.4% under
2:15:32 > 2:15:35Gordon Brown, but that's why we've introduced the national Living Wage
2:15:35 > 2:15:41and cut income tax for the basic rate taxpayer so their take-home pay
2:15:41 > 2:15:44is £1,000 more each year and that's the record we want to build on, but
2:15:44 > 2:15:48ultimately you need a strong economy, creating jobs, creating
2:15:48 > 2:15:50revenue and that's the foundation for all the other things we want to
2:15:50 > 2:15:52do in relation to public services and social justice.
2:15:52 > 2:15:56I want to know as well, you talk about the Westminster bubble, but
2:15:56 > 2:16:03people will be interested for example, the front page of the Daily
2:16:03 > 2:16:08Telegraph, "May's Budget war with Hammond." Is that true or not?No,
2:16:08 > 2:16:13it's tittle-tattle and people discounted large chunks of what they
2:16:13 > 2:16:19read in the media. I'm focussed on the team effort. Building a country
2:16:19 > 2:16:23that's fit for the future. We can't let the public finances run out of
2:16:23 > 2:16:26control the way the Labour Party did under Gordon Brown and president way
2:16:26 > 2:16:29they certainly would under Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell, but we
2:16:29 > 2:16:33need to make sure we've got that strong economy, creating jobs. We've
2:16:33 > 2:16:37had three million new jobs and for all the attack on the gig economy,
2:16:37 > 2:16:40three-quarters of those three million new jobs have been full-time
2:16:40 > 2:16:44and at the same time, we want to make sure people have got quality
2:16:44 > 2:16:46public services and increase people's confidence in the schools
2:16:46 > 2:16:52and the NHS. Cancer survival rates are at record high. That's the
2:16:52 > 2:16:55record we want to build on to make this country fit for the next
2:16:55 > 2:16:59generation.You talk about building and jobs and investment, but the
2:16:59 > 2:17:02facts are productivity, for example, in this country, is still low
2:17:02 > 2:17:09compared for example to other counterparts in Europe?
2:17:09 > 2:17:13I agree with that, productivity has been a long-standing problem that
2:17:13 > 2:17:17has afflicted successive generations...What do you mean by
2:17:17 > 2:17:21that?I think, if you ask a lot of economists, on the left or the
2:17:21 > 2:17:25right, they would say that we have an issue here which is that we are
2:17:25 > 2:17:29not as productive, which means the output per unit of the workforce in
2:17:29 > 2:17:32this country, compared to some of the leading international
2:17:32 > 2:17:35competition, but the way you deal with that, and that is why I said at
2:17:35 > 2:17:40the beginning of the interview, I think you will see a renewed focus
2:17:40 > 2:17:44on skills, investment in road and rail infrastructure, because that
2:17:44 > 2:17:47boost productivity. It is important because it is the biggest driver of
2:17:47 > 2:17:51increasing wages. Inflation has been high, wages have not caught up with
2:17:51 > 2:17:56that. We know inflation is coming down, we want to boost productivity
2:17:56 > 2:18:01so wages go up, so alongside the extra revenue we have got by keeping
2:18:01 > 2:18:04taxes low and the job creation we have got by encouraging businesses
2:18:04 > 2:18:10to hire more is the key to a balanced approach to make sure this
2:18:10 > 2:18:13country is fit for the future.Do you think the Chancellor can do love
2:18:13 > 2:18:16this and effectively save the party, which has had a very difficult six
2:18:16 > 2:18:24months?The election did not go the way we wanted, but I am fresh here
2:18:24 > 2:18:28from helping to steer the Brexit Bill through the House of Commons,
2:18:28 > 2:18:32we are only eight days through the committee stage, but we have won
2:18:32 > 2:18:38every vote. People have talked about rebels bringing us down, but we have
2:18:38 > 2:18:42had a constructive approach, and now we are moving on to the Budget, and
2:18:42 > 2:18:45I think you will see that balanced approach, dealing with productivity,
2:18:45 > 2:18:51but also making sure that we, for example, we build 200,000 new homes
2:18:51 > 2:18:55last year, and we need to do more on that front. From the bread and
2:18:55 > 2:19:00butter, the nuts and bolts of the economy, to the British team, the
2:19:00 > 2:19:05desire for the next generation to get on the housing ladder. You will
2:19:05 > 2:19:10see a concerted effort...Can I...? Can I say just one thing? We have
2:19:10 > 2:19:14got greater opportunities in this country, it is important we grasp
2:19:14 > 2:19:19them.We are running short of time, but another question about the
2:19:19 > 2:19:23Budget and planning for Brexit, front page of the Financial Times
2:19:23 > 2:19:27today, talking about the divorce bill - they say there may be a deal
2:19:27 > 2:19:33within three weeks, how much will it cost? Have you signed up to this £40
2:19:33 > 2:19:39billion now?The figure that has been put on it is just prospective
2:19:39 > 2:19:41Asian and tittle-tattle, but I certainly think, you know, people
2:19:41 > 2:19:50were saying the thing was in the balance, but we are making good
2:19:50 > 2:19:54progress on the money, on Northern Ireland, on citizen's rights. But
2:19:54 > 2:19:58ultimately there is no deal in these negotiations until we have got the
2:19:58 > 2:20:02whole deal, and people at home on to see the package in the round. Sooner
2:20:02 > 2:20:07rather than later, we need to talk about the wider issues - trade,
2:20:07 > 2:20:10security, and we are going for a win-win deal with our European
2:20:10 > 2:20:14friends, good for Britain and for our European partners.Thank you for
2:20:14 > 2:20:24your time on Breakfast this morning. Good morning, that does not look
2:20:24 > 2:20:27pretty, I don't know where that is, but I wouldn't like to be stuck
2:20:27 > 2:20:29there!
2:20:29 > 2:20:31but I wouldn't like to be stuck there! Quite right, it is going to
2:20:31 > 2:20:36be windy across England and Wales, up to 70 mph with exposure in parts
2:20:36 > 2:20:42of the West and south. Inland, 40-50 mph. And we have got some rain as
2:20:42 > 2:20:47well. Not all of us will see some conditions, but in the west you will
2:20:47 > 2:20:52see both. No pressure is governing the weather, to the north and south
2:20:52 > 2:20:56of us, look at those isobars, they will squeeze together, hence we are
2:20:56 > 2:21:01going to see the wind strengthening, a fair bit of rain around as well.
2:21:01 > 2:21:07We have already got that, actually, across Northern Ireland, Wales,
2:21:07 > 2:21:09northern England and southern Scotland, moving northwards through
2:21:09 > 2:21:15the course of the day, falling snow on the hills in Scotland. The other
2:21:15 > 2:21:20side of that band of rain, some brighter skies. Into the afternoon,
2:21:20 > 2:21:24windy across south-west England, especially with exposure, the rain
2:21:24 > 2:21:29clipping the North Devon, Cornwall and the Somerset. Wet and windy
2:21:29 > 2:21:34across Wales, especially so with exposure, but breezy across Northern
2:21:34 > 2:21:37Ireland, the rain easing off a touch. But extending through
2:21:37 > 2:21:42northern Scotland, snow on the hills, not getting indicated and
2:21:42 > 2:21:48Sutherland, still cold across the Northern Isles with wintry mix. A
2:21:48 > 2:21:55lot of cloud in the north, but brighter skies in East Anglia, even
2:21:55 > 2:21:58in the Midlands we could see glimmers of sunshine before the
2:21:58 > 2:22:03cloud builds. Through the evening and overnight, a band of rain pushes
2:22:03 > 2:22:08towards the east and south, and one towards the north. It is going to be
2:22:08 > 2:22:10a windy night, and increasingly through the night snow not just on
2:22:10 > 2:22:14the hills north of the central lowlands, but also, by the end of
2:22:14 > 2:22:19the night, at lower levels as well. It will be a cold night except for
2:22:19 > 2:22:26in the south. That is how we start tomorrow morning at four, so we lose
2:22:26 > 2:22:29the rain from the south-east through the day, still windy for a time. The
2:22:29 > 2:22:32rain and snow across Scotland will push northwards, fragmenting as it
2:22:32 > 2:22:37does so. No pressure still dominating our weather, everything
2:22:37 > 2:22:40rotates in an anticlockwise direction across the low pressure,
2:22:40 > 2:22:45so showers coming from the West. There will be a lot of dry and sunny
2:22:45 > 2:22:49conditions. But note the temperatures, look out below
2:22:49 > 2:22:54temperatures are pushing further south, the far south of England and
2:22:54 > 2:22:58Wales will hang on to double figures, but it will not last. Low
2:22:58 > 2:23:01pressure to the north and south will bring rain during the course of
2:23:01 > 2:23:06Friday, but the wind is salient because it has another component, a
2:23:06 > 2:23:11cold direction, so Friday to Sunday especially, it will feel cold and
2:23:11 > 2:23:14then change again as milder conditions start to show their hand
2:23:14 > 2:23:15from the West.
2:23:21 > 2:23:25It has been a week since the Argentine submarine disappeared in
2:23:25 > 2:23:29the southern Atlantic, and there are growing fears that the crew may soon
2:23:29 > 2:23:33run out of oxygen. It is a really desperate story. We are joined by
2:23:33 > 2:23:37Stewart Little, a former Royal Navy submariner. We were just talking to
2:23:37 > 2:23:41you before we came to you, they are in a desperate situation, tell us
2:23:41 > 2:23:46what this might be like for them right now. We have had no contact,
2:23:46 > 2:23:51what will they be doing?It has been approximately six days now since the
2:23:51 > 2:23:56submarine was last heard from. There is almost a 100% chance that it is
2:23:56 > 2:24:01on the bottom. The depth of water, I don't know what it is, nobody has
2:24:01 > 2:24:04found the submarine, that is the first thing. For the people on
2:24:04 > 2:24:09board, it is a desperate situation, they will be running out of a
2:24:09 > 2:24:12electrical supplies, controllable atmosphere, and the big problems
2:24:12 > 2:24:16will be oxygen, which will be reducing as they breathe it in, and
2:24:16 > 2:24:21carbon dioxide, as they breed it out. Those at the two big problems,
2:24:21 > 2:24:26and the atmosphere. They will have seven days of life-support stores on
2:24:26 > 2:24:33board, enabling them to control the on board atmosphere for that period.
2:24:33 > 2:24:38Seven days will be approximately tomorrow or the day after. It is a
2:24:38 > 2:24:42serious problem.It paints a clear picture of what they will be going
2:24:42 > 2:24:47through, and in terms of conserving oxygen, what will they be doing?
2:24:47 > 2:24:51They will be minimising oxygen consumption, which is very simple,
2:24:51 > 2:24:56they send everybody to bed. Minimise all activity, reduce the amount of
2:24:56 > 2:25:02air that people are breathing. Just go to bed and do nothing. There are
2:25:02 > 2:25:07certain things that they will have to do, they will probably still have
2:25:07 > 2:25:11some damage control activities going on, because something has forced
2:25:11 > 2:25:15that submarine to the bottom, it did not go there of its own accord, and
2:25:15 > 2:25:20they will be trying desperately to be found.I know you are feeling
2:25:20 > 2:25:25quite a mistake, but if they were to find it, how would they get them out
2:25:25 > 2:25:32of this situation?Well, a submarine rescue is a well practised and
2:25:32 > 2:25:36well-known event for submariners and rescue teams. There are a lot of
2:25:36 > 2:25:38submarine rescue teams around the world, and the one involved in this
2:25:38 > 2:25:48one is the US submarine rescue service based in San Diego, and they
2:25:48 > 2:25:56are deployed to be seen. There is an ROV, the provisional emergency
2:25:56 > 2:26:00life-support stores, which will provide the submarine the capability
2:26:00 > 2:26:04of controlling its atmosphere.And we were saying earlier, we mentioned
2:26:04 > 2:26:09to our viewers when you are coming on, it is recognised that in this
2:26:09 > 2:26:12situation, every half-hour and on the hour, everything goes quiet and
2:26:12 > 2:26:15you listen carefully for one of the submariners banging on the wall of
2:26:15 > 2:26:19the submarine, because sound will travel a long way, doesn't it?It
2:26:19 > 2:26:24does, and that is a standard response to this sort of thing,
2:26:24 > 2:26:30submariners know it, the surface search forces know it, so on the
2:26:30 > 2:26:33hour and a half hour for five minutes everybody goes quiet, and
2:26:33 > 2:26:37somebody will make as much noise as they can. The best way to do that is
2:26:37 > 2:26:43to bang on the hole with a hammer, a saucepan, anything metallic. Bang on
2:26:43 > 2:26:47the hull or one of the frames inside to generate noise through the water.
2:26:47 > 2:26:51The hope is that will happen in the next 24 hours, because oxygen
2:26:51 > 2:26:56supplies are running out, it is desperate times.It is getting very
2:26:56 > 2:26:59critical for these people, 43 men and one woman on board that
2:26:59 > 2:27:03submarine, and it is coming down to the very critical times. The search
2:27:03 > 2:27:08force will be doing their utmost to find it, and the rescue forces
2:27:08 > 2:27:15themselves are doing their utmost to provide what is required once the
2:27:15 > 2:27:18submarine has been found. But until it is found, they cannot do
2:27:18 > 2:27:20anything.Gosh, thank you so much for that insight.
2:27:20 > 2:27:25We hope for the best, obviously. Time to get news, travel and weather
2:27:25 > 2:27:27wherever you are watching.
2:30:53 > 2:30:59Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:30:59 > 2:31:02Let's bring you up-to-date with the main headlines this morning. It is
2:31:02 > 2:31:04budget day.
2:31:04 > 2:31:06The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, will present his Budget
2:31:06 > 2:31:07in Parliament today.
2:31:07 > 2:31:09His statement comes amid intense pressure to announce far-reaching

2:31:29 > 2:31:33thinking. -- Dominic Ryan.I don't know the details but I would expect
2:31:33 > 2:31:37him to focus on two things, investment in skills and
2:31:37 > 2:31:39infrastructure, things like rail and road because that is what boosts
2:31:39 > 2:31:44real wages for the viewers and secondly, we build 200,000 new homes
2:31:44 > 2:31:48last year and we are restless to do more on that to deliver on the
2:31:48 > 2:31:52homeowning democracy that I think if the Conservative vision, the British
2:31:52 > 2:31:55dream and I think we will hear more about that at 12:30pm.
2:31:55 > 2:31:57Zimbabwe's former Vice President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is expected
2:31:57 > 2:32:01to be sworn in as the country's new leader in the next two days.
2:32:01 > 2:32:03Wild celebrations have been taking place overnight
2:32:03 > 2:32:04in the captial Harare, following the resignation
2:32:04 > 2:32:06of Robert Mugabe as President.
2:32:06 > 2:32:08Mr Mnangagwa's sacking earlier this month prompted the military

2:32:21 > 2:32:25who's accused of orchestrating the worst act of genocide in Europe
2:32:25 > 2:32:27since the Second World War.
2:32:27 > 2:32:31Mladic is charged with the murders of 8,000 Muslim men
2:32:31 > 2:32:34and boys in Srebrenica in 1995,
2:32:34 > 2:32:36as well as the four-year siege of Sarajevo,
2:32:36 > 2:32:39in which 10,000 people died.
2:32:39 > 2:32:41The 74-year-old has been on trial at The Hague
2:32:41 > 2:32:44for more than five years.
2:32:44 > 2:32:47There are fears the crew of a submarine that disappeared
2:32:47 > 2:32:53in the southern Atlantic could be running out of oxygen.
2:32:53 > 2:32:57We were just talking about this with Stuart Little, a sub Mariner, here.
2:32:57 > 2:33:0044 people are on board the San Juan, which went missing last
2:33:00 > 2:33:02Wednesday after it reported an electric breakdown.
2:33:02 > 2:33:05A spokesman for the Argentine navy said the massive search operation
2:33:05 > 2:33:07would continue until the vessel is found.
2:33:07 > 2:33:10But as our guest was telling us, the situation is now critical.
2:33:10 > 2:33:13The American actor and musician David Cassidy has died in hospital
2:33:13 > 2:33:14in Florida at the age of 67.
2:33:14 > 2:33:17He shot to fame in the sitcom The Partridge Family before having
2:33:17 > 2:33:21a successful solo music career.
2:33:21 > 2:33:24At the peak of his fame in the 1970s, his fan club had more
2:33:24 > 2:33:31members than those of The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
2:33:31 > 2:33:35Not such a thing as a fan club any more, really, is there? I suppose it
2:33:35 > 2:33:39is followers. Your plan, your people.
2:33:39 > 2:33:41Tributes are being paid to the comic actor, Rodney Bewes,
2:33:41 > 2:33:43who died yesterday aged 79.
2:33:43 > 2:33:46English girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses
2:33:46 > 2:33:48like wallpaper on the march!
2:33:48 > 2:33:52LAUGHTER.
2:33:52 > 2:33:56He found fame playing Bob Ferris in the BBC sitcom The Likely Lads.
2:33:56 > 2:33:58He went on to enjoy other roles on stage and screen,
2:33:58 > 2:34:02including a sitcom he wrote called Dear Mother, Love Albert.
2:34:02 > 2:34:06Uber has admitted that it concealed a massive global breach
2:34:06 > 2:34:09of the personal information of 57 million customers
2:34:09 > 2:34:12and drivers, which took place in October last year.
2:34:12 > 2:34:18The firm confirmed it had paid the hackers responsible £75,000
2:34:18 > 2:34:21to delete the data, which included customer names, email
2:34:21 > 2:34:28addresses and mobile phone numbers.
2:34:28 > 2:34:32Did you know the type of alcohol you drink can affect your mood in
2:34:32 > 2:34:36different ways? A major new study by the global drug survey found links
2:34:36 > 2:34:40between types of alcohol and emotions they create. For example,
2:34:40 > 2:34:43spirits were associated with feelings of aggression while beer
2:34:43 > 2:34:48and red wine was linked to feeling a bit more relaxed.
2:34:48 > 2:34:51Thanks for your comment on all of that! I have enjoyed looking at
2:34:51 > 2:34:51them.
2:34:51 > 2:34:53Coming up here on Breakfast this morning.
2:34:53 > 2:34:56The talking is done and now it's time for action as England attempt
2:34:56 > 2:34:57to retain the Ashes.
2:34:57 > 2:35:00But can they lay to rest the ghosts of that 5-0
2:35:00 > 2:35:01whitewash four years ago?
2:35:01 > 2:35:05We'll get the thoughts of former England cricketer Matt Prior.
2:35:05 > 2:35:07He is sitting next to us now.
2:35:07 > 2:35:10Coronation Street is no stranger to tackling tough issues and this
2:35:10 > 2:35:13week, the soap sees Robert Preston face a testicular cancer scare.
2:35:13 > 2:35:15The actor who plays him, Tristan Gemmill, will be here
2:35:15 > 2:35:18to talk about the responsibility he felt when taking
2:35:18 > 2:35:24on the storyline.
2:35:24 > 2:35:32# If I can have the pleasure of your company. #
2:35:32 > 2:35:35Sweet, sweet. # I'll stay on key and try to sing
2:35:35 > 2:35:38along. # You're doing great.
2:35:38 > 2:35:40Praise indeed from Bing Crosby, who Sir Michael Parkinson credits
2:35:40 > 2:35:43as one of the artists who helped shape his life.
2:35:43 > 2:35:45The chat show host will be here to tell us more
2:35:45 > 2:35:51about the soundtrack to some of his most special memories.
2:35:51 > 2:35:55At least he was good at his proper job!
2:35:55 > 2:35:59I'm not saying he was bad, but singing is a thing.
2:35:59 > 2:36:02Not wonderful. We said we were introducing Matt Prior, that the
2:36:02 > 2:36:06talking is done what we are going to talk about the Ashes now with a man
2:36:06 > 2:36:10who knows a thing or two about winning it.Three-time winner Matt
2:36:10 > 2:36:14Prior is build up and after all the build-up, the Ashes start tonight,
2:36:14 > 2:36:16England's men start their defence and this morning Jake Ball has been
2:36:16 > 2:36:20announced as the fourth bowler instead of Craig Overton. What do
2:36:20 > 2:36:25you make of that? The batting line-up has not been revealed yet.
2:36:25 > 2:36:30Yes, we are going to have to wait for the batting line-up.What do you
2:36:30 > 2:36:33think?I think Joe Root is going to stay at number four and James Vince
2:36:33 > 2:36:39will bat at number three. An Dawid Malan at number five. I think the
2:36:39 > 2:36:42one question was, was it over to nor Jake Ball and I think they have got
2:36:42 > 2:36:46it right, going with Jake Ball, no real surprises and I like the look
2:36:46 > 2:36:52of this England starting 11.As expected with the Ashes Series, the
2:36:52 > 2:36:57mind games are there, in full swing and you have come out fighting, got
2:36:57 > 2:37:00involved, Nathan Lyon saying you were scared when you were in
2:37:00 > 2:37:04Australia.Yeah, it was quite a shock, I was minding my business in
2:37:04 > 2:37:07the UK and I suddenly get a phone call saying I apparently wanted to
2:37:07 > 2:37:12go home before the third Test match in Perth. I'm going to say right now
2:37:12 > 2:37:15it is absolute rubbish. I think James Anderson summed it up quite
2:37:15 > 2:37:20well that Nathan Lyon must have lost a bet, having to go into the press
2:37:20 > 2:37:23conference and talk the way he did. Ashes banter and the hype and
2:37:23 > 2:37:27everything else is one thing but to wish for fellow players careers to
2:37:27 > 2:37:30end is pretty strong and quite disrespectful I think. Yes, there's
2:37:30 > 2:37:34going to be the banter, as we say and the hype but you have to make
2:37:34 > 2:37:38sure you keep respecting the game. He said he was a big trend a few
2:37:38 > 2:37:43careers and you said, "It might be yours".You've got to be careful,
2:37:43 > 2:37:46it's a funny old game, professional sport can turn around pretty quickly
2:37:46 > 2:37:49as a few of us know.You talked about the Australian public turning
2:37:49 > 2:37:54on the team as well.It is one of the things that we said, Graham
2:37:54 > 2:37:59Gooch before we got on the plane in 2010-11, he said England teams will
2:37:59 > 2:38:02cop it because that is the reality of playing in Australia but if you
2:38:02 > 2:38:05earn their respect, the public and the media will then turn on their
2:38:05 > 2:38:08own players and we watched it happen as we performed well, we got ahead
2:38:08 > 2:38:12of the game and suddenly, the Australian press that were so hard
2:38:12 > 2:38:16on us when we arrived turned completely on their own team.
2:38:16 > 2:38:20Legends of the game like Ricky Ponting and those guys were taking a
2:38:20 > 2:38:25huge amount of flak. If England can get on top, that is the challenge,
2:38:25 > 2:38:28to get on top, earn the respect of the Australian press and public and
2:38:28 > 2:38:32they very quickly turn.It is funny Nathan Lyon came out and said that
2:38:32 > 2:38:36because it is a bit out of context with the rest of the build-up, it
2:38:36 > 2:38:39has come out of nowhere and stoked the fire that was not really there.
2:38:39 > 2:38:43I saw Alastair Cook in his press conference, saying I spoke to him
2:38:43 > 2:38:45earlier in the day, and he had no idea whether comments from Nathan
2:38:45 > 2:38:53Lyon came from.I played against Nathan in three Ashes Series and he
2:38:53 > 2:38:56really said nothing at any stage so it is very much out of character
2:38:56 > 2:38:59which is why people think he must have been put up to it or something
2:38:59 > 2:39:02along those lines. But to walk into the ground the next morning and ask
2:39:02 > 2:39:04Alastair Cook out his family are the is not really Marriott, does it?
2:39:04 > 2:39:09Look, I think hearing what Alistair came out with yesterday, the talking
2:39:09 > 2:39:13is done for the players, the team has been selected and they will be
2:39:13 > 2:39:16in the hotel, trying not to think too much about what may or may not
2:39:16 > 2:39:20happen but just looking forward to getting on with playing cricket now.
2:39:20 > 2:39:24So many predictions in the papers today, and Michael Vaughan is saying
2:39:24 > 2:39:293-1 Australia because of Ben Stokes. How much are England going to miss
2:39:29 > 2:39:32him?Ben Stokes is a phenomenal Boerrigter, we all know that, not
2:39:32 > 2:39:35just what he does with the bat and ball but his influence in the
2:39:35 > 2:39:40dressing room as well, vice captain. He is a stalwart that Joe Root will
2:39:40 > 2:39:43miss and the rest of the team will miss so it will not be the same
2:39:43 > 2:39:46without him but if you have a look at the replacements that come in,
2:39:46 > 2:39:51you hear people say, Chris Woakes need to be able -- needs to be a Ben
2:39:51 > 2:39:55Stokes, I don't agree, Chris Woakes needs to be the best way he can beat
2:39:55 > 2:40:00which is, by the way, a fantastic cricketer. You look at the line-up,
2:40:00 > 2:40:02Cook, Broad, Anderson, Jonny Bairstow has been flying
2:40:02 > 2:40:05fantastically, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, for me it is a pretty strong
2:40:05 > 2:40:10team. -- has been playing fantastically. And I like that
2:40:10 > 2:40:16England are going there as underdogs and being written.Tell us about
2:40:16 > 2:40:22playing at the Gabba. It has a swimming pool.I think it is new.It
2:40:22 > 2:40:26is part of trying to make cricket more interesting for younger... You
2:40:26 > 2:40:31have been playing with kids this morning.Absolutely, I've been
2:40:31 > 2:40:36working with Chance To Shine Hoover launched an online portal today,
2:40:36 > 2:40:39free to download for schools, bringing cricket into schools,
2:40:39 > 2:40:42helping not only the playing but actually the learning which is
2:40:42 > 2:40:51fantastic. Chance To Shine as the website, lovely logo.They are over
2:40:51 > 2:40:56there, morning! We've got an audience. There's loads of them. Not
2:40:56 > 2:41:02everybody brings their own audience. It is the Matt Prior fan club.This
2:41:02 > 2:41:07is your rider, you demand an entourage.That is how we roll.
2:41:07 > 2:41:14Graeme Swann sat here a few weeks ago and said...I wondered why the
2:41:14 > 2:41:17seat was all.Graeme Swann feels it is going to go to- one England who
2:41:17 > 2:41:22it's going to go the way. Do you feel that?Are not just saying that,
2:41:22 > 2:41:25I honestly have that feeling, when the squad was first announced, I
2:41:25 > 2:41:29thought it was going to be good but in the background because of the
2:41:29 > 2:41:32Stokes chat and everything, no one was looking at Australia, and they
2:41:32 > 2:41:35are in turmoil, they don't know the best wicketkeeper so they've picked
2:41:35 > 2:41:38what they think is the safest option which is very dangerous going into
2:41:38 > 2:41:43an Ashes Series. Certain things have flipped and turned around, the
2:41:43 > 2:41:46Nathan Lyon staff almost shows where they are at, they are trying to
2:41:46 > 2:41:49create something that really isn't fair. They are trying to say it is
2:41:49 > 2:41:54like Mitchell Johnson, who was bowling 97 mph, not 90, 90 is what
2:41:54 > 2:41:59you are used to, what you get in international cricket. I have a
2:41:59 > 2:42:03funny feeling England will do something special.OK, nice note to
2:42:03 > 2:42:08end on. I'm sure the kids will enjoy it as well. Give a round of applause
2:42:08 > 2:42:12for Matt Prior? APPLAUSE That entourage you asked for.It is
2:42:12 > 2:42:15like the Steve Wright show!
2:42:15 > 2:42:18And a reminder you can hear every ball of every Test live
2:42:18 > 2:42:21with the Test Match Special team on BBC Radio 5Live Sports Extra
2:42:21 > 2:42:23and the BBC Sport website and app.
2:42:23 > 2:42:25Liverpool missed the chance to qualify for the knockout stages
2:42:25 > 2:42:28of the Champions League for the first time in nine years
2:42:28 > 2:42:30by throwing away a 3-0 lead.
2:42:30 > 2:42:33They had that scoreline after half an hour thanks
2:42:33 > 2:42:35to Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
2:42:35 > 2:42:37But Liverpool collapsed in the second half and conceded
2:42:37 > 2:42:38an equaliser deep into injury time.
2:42:38 > 2:42:42A draw in their final game against Spartak Moscow will see
2:42:42 > 2:42:48Jurgen Klopp's side through.
2:42:48 > 2:42:51Tottenham ensured they'll finish top of their group after they came
2:42:51 > 2:42:52from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund.
2:42:52 > 2:42:54Harry Kane equalised and then Dele Alli set up
2:42:54 > 2:42:58Son Heung Min as Spurs won 2-1.
2:42:58 > 2:43:00It means they'll definitely finish above champions Real Madrid whatever
2:43:00 > 2:43:03happens in the last round of games.
2:43:03 > 2:43:06And Manchester City know they'll also be top of their group,
2:43:06 > 2:43:08though they left it late to beat Feyenoord.
2:43:08 > 2:43:12Raheem Sterling's goal won it for them at the Etihad.
2:43:12 > 2:43:17England's women secured a series victory over Canada with a Test
2:43:17 > 2:43:23to spare with a comfortable 49-12 win at Twickenham last night.
2:43:23 > 2:43:26Captain Sarah Hunter led out her side on her 100th cap
2:43:26 > 2:43:28in a fixture that saw the Red Roses score eight tries,
2:43:28 > 2:43:30with Rachel Burford and 18-year-old Ellie Kildunne
2:43:30 > 2:43:35both crossing twice.
2:43:35 > 2:43:37England will secure a series whitewash with victory
2:43:37 > 2:43:45in the final Test on Saturday.
2:43:45 > 2:43:47Ashes begins at midnight, today's the day.
2:43:47 > 2:43:51Matt Prior was in a Twitter rage last night.He really got involved.
2:43:51 > 2:43:54He was fired up and ready.
2:43:57 > 2:43:59Zimbabwe's former Vice President, Emmerson Mnangagwa is expected
2:43:59 > 2:44:00to land in Harare shortly.
2:44:00 > 2:44:03He's due to be sworn in as the country's new leader,
2:44:03 > 2:44:06following Robert Mugabe's resignation.
2:44:06 > 2:44:11Our correspondent, Ben Brown, is in Harare this morning.
2:44:11 > 2:44:14Tell us about last night because I understand there were wild
2:44:14 > 2:44:20celebrations going on.Yeah, the party went on deep into the night.
2:44:20 > 2:44:23Amazing scenes, really, people blaring car horns, dancing in the
2:44:23 > 2:44:26streets. They could not really believe he had finally resigned
2:44:26 > 2:44:32after 37 years. Now is the euphoria subsides, questions about the new
2:44:32 > 2:44:37man, Emmerson Mnangagwa, he has got a very questionable record, he was a
2:44:37 > 2:44:41henchman of the Mugabe regime for many years, he is alleged to have
2:44:41 > 2:44:44masterminded massacres in Matabeleland in the 80s and to have
2:44:44 > 2:44:50rigged elections. Let's talk to a human rights lawyer here in Harare.
2:44:50 > 2:44:54What do you think of the new man who's going to become your new
2:44:54 > 2:44:58president, probably sworn in today, Emmerson Mnangagwa. Does Zimbabwe
2:44:58 > 2:45:03need to be gathered about him?Yes, I think Zimbabwe needs to be very
2:45:03 > 2:45:10careful of this man, Emmerson Mnangagwa. As you have just said, he
2:45:10 > 2:45:14has quite a dark history in Zimbabwe, dating back from when he
2:45:14 > 2:45:19was Minister of State Security, during which time we saw the
2:45:19 > 2:45:22massacres in Matabeleland, and equally during the 2008 elections,
2:45:22 > 2:45:28he is alleged to have been the mastermind behind the rigging of the
2:45:28 > 2:45:34elections that year. He has got quite a lot to prove if he is to
2:45:34 > 2:45:39bring anything positive to Zimbabwe. At the same time in the last few
2:45:39 > 2:45:41days, we have seen demonstrations on the street, people power and there
2:45:41 > 2:45:44is a great surge of optimism that there is possibly a new dawn for
2:45:44 > 2:45:47Zimbabwe.
2:45:52 > 2:45:54I think Zimbabweans need to be cautious about embracing this as the
2:45:54 > 2:46:01dawn of a new era. As far as I can see it, Mnangagwa will only serve
2:46:01 > 2:46:06out the last few months of Mr Mugabe's term in office. That's in
2:46:06 > 2:46:08terms of the constitution. Afterwards, we have to have
2:46:08 > 2:46:15elections. So, as things stand, he's not, as I would put it, a legitimate
2:46:15 > 2:46:19leader.Do you think he could win the elections next year then?
2:46:19 > 2:46:23Because the Zanu-PF candidate or maybe it's time for a change in
2:46:23 > 2:46:27Zimbabwe and a different political party in power?It would be
2:46:27 > 2:46:31extremely difficult for Zimbabwe to hold free and fair elections until
2:46:31 > 2:46:37and unless we have reforms in the all body politic. So for now, we
2:46:37 > 2:46:41would rather have reforms in the system of elections before we can
2:46:41 > 2:46:45have elections.OK, thank you very much indeed for being with us. So
2:46:45 > 2:46:50hope here in Zimbabwe. But also a lot of questions still to be
2:46:50 > 2:46:54answered and that new president likely to be sworn in in a few
2:46:54 > 2:46:57hours, Emmerson Mnangagwa. Back to you in the studio.Thank you very
2:46:57 > 2:47:01much indeed. It has been very interesting times, Ben, thank you
2:47:01 > 2:47:10very much indeed. Carol as changed her pictures. It is
2:47:10 > 2:47:15more positive.If you are in East Anglia or the South East of England,
2:47:15 > 2:47:19you will see some of the best weather today.
2:47:21 > 2:47:25A beautiful picture sent in from Norfolk. It will be wet or windy
2:47:25 > 2:47:29today. If you are in the west, you will have wet and windy conditions.
2:47:29 > 2:47:32What's happening is low pressure to the north and south of it governing
2:47:32 > 2:47:37our weather. Look at the squeeze on the isobars across England and
2:47:37 > 2:47:39Wales. The winds strengthen through this morning into the afternoon,
2:47:39 > 2:47:44evening as well and it will be windy tonight. Couple that with some rain,
2:47:44 > 2:47:50the rain has been heavy and there are reports of flooding in Cumbria.
2:47:50 > 2:47:53Heavy and persistent rain for Northern Ireland, Wales, northern
2:47:53 > 2:47:58England, and Scotland and that rain migrating northwards, engaging with
2:47:58 > 2:48:02the cold air in the Highlands and the Grampians, the brighter skies
2:48:02 > 2:48:05out towards the east. By the afternoon it is going to be very
2:48:05 > 2:48:09windy across south-west England and Wales. With exposure, we are looking
2:48:09 > 2:48:13at gusts 60mph to 70mph. Inland, we are looking at 40mph to 50mph.
2:48:13 > 2:48:17Couple that with a lot of rain, some nasty travelling conditions. It will
2:48:17 > 2:48:21be breezy across Northern Ireland with still some rain falling and the
2:48:21 > 2:48:24rain continuing to move northwards across Scotland, falling as snow on
2:48:24 > 2:48:28the hills. Not quite in Caithness and souther land. Here too, it will
2:48:28 > 2:48:31feel cold. For northern England, you have got the rain coming in from the
2:48:31 > 2:48:35west drifting east. Some brighter skies in the east. Some brighter
2:48:35 > 2:48:38skies for a time across the Midlands, but for East Anglia and
2:48:38 > 2:48:43the South East that's where we will see the lion's share of any sunshine
2:48:43 > 2:48:46with highs of 14 Celsius in Southampton. Overnight the wind
2:48:46 > 2:48:51arrows are still on. It will be windy. We have got a band of rain
2:48:51 > 2:48:55moving north and another one moving towards the South East, we will see
2:48:55 > 2:48:58some snow falling, not just on the hills, but through the nismt
2:48:58 > 2:49:01certainly by morning. North of the Central Lowlands, we will have some
2:49:01 > 2:49:05of that at lower levels. From really the North Midlands northwards, it
2:49:05 > 2:49:08will be a cold night. We are hanging on to double figure temperatures as
2:49:08 > 2:49:12we push further south. Tomorrow, we see the back edge of the wet and
2:49:12 > 2:49:16windy weather moving away from the South East. The rain and the snow
2:49:16 > 2:49:20continuing to push northwards across Scotland. Fragmenting as it does so
2:49:20 > 2:49:25and then we've got a rash of showers coming in from the west on the wind.
2:49:25 > 2:49:30Not all of us will catch one, many of us will have a dry day with
2:49:30 > 2:49:33sunshine, but you can see how the cooler air is filtering further
2:49:33 > 2:49:37south. It is the far south-east and southern parts of England and Wales
2:49:37 > 2:49:40hanging on to double figure temperatures. Then for Friday, we've
2:49:40 > 2:49:44got low pressure to the north and the south of us with the weather
2:49:44 > 2:49:47fronts taking a swipe. It is the wind I want to point out. The wind
2:49:47 > 2:49:51will have a northerly component to it. Into the weekend it will turn
2:49:51 > 2:49:55colder for us. By day and by night and then look what happens, the mild
2:49:55 > 2:50:00air comes back from the west by the end of the weekend, Dan and Lou.I
2:50:00 > 2:50:04think I'd like double temperatures anyway, Carol. Thank you very much.
2:50:04 > 2:50:06Who doesn't?
2:50:11 > 2:50:13At lunchtime today, the Chancellor, Phillip Hammond,
2:50:13 > 2:50:18will deliver the budget.
2:50:18 > 2:50:21The Chancellor is under a lot of pressure today from within his own
2:50:21 > 2:50:28party, from the Prime Minister, asking him to asked things in at the
2:50:28 > 2:50:32last minute and the way he delivers it will be very much focussed on as
2:50:32 > 2:50:37well?Yeah, he will have practised it, let me tell you. Everyone
2:50:37 > 2:50:40analyses politicians don't they when they are doing something like this?
2:50:40 > 2:50:44Whoever is chancellor at the time has an enormous job to do on a day
2:50:44 > 2:50:47like this. There is a lot of pressure, but there is a lot of
2:50:47 > 2:50:50people out there who feel they should be given more help from the
2:50:50 > 2:50:54Government. So, for a long time we have seen the cost of living going
2:50:54 > 2:50:57up faster than how much wages have been going up by so that's meant in
2:50:57 > 2:51:00real terms lots of people felt squeezed in terms of how much money
2:51:00 > 2:51:04they have got, but on top of that, the Government is spending lots of
2:51:04 > 2:51:08money on our services, that we need, so there is a real question about
2:51:08 > 2:51:13where do you make the sacrifices in order to have other things you need
2:51:13 > 2:51:17in life and that's the balance he has got to work out to make sure we
2:51:17 > 2:51:20bring money in from taxes and don't overspend on the services we need. I
2:51:20 > 2:51:24have been talking to families about this. And there is one family in
2:51:24 > 2:51:28particular, the Richardsons, you have got heavily pregnant mum Nicola
2:51:28 > 2:51:33who is a teacher. Dave, her husband, is the postman and then also who
2:51:33 > 2:51:41came around for a cuppa was her mum, Susan who is a retired teacher. I
2:51:41 > 2:51:43went to meet them and have a chat with them.
2:51:43 > 2:51:45How old is Alfie?
2:51:45 > 2:51:46He's two.
2:51:46 > 2:51:48And you have another one on the way?
2:51:48 > 2:51:49Yes, another boy, just for fun.
2:51:49 > 2:51:51What would you say is the biggest thing that,
2:51:51 > 2:51:54like, you worry about, in terms of money?
2:51:54 > 2:51:57Little things like food prices going up and petrol always
2:51:57 > 2:51:58seems to be changing.
2:51:58 > 2:52:01It does make a difference, week on week.
2:52:01 > 2:52:03Yeah, our weekly food bill has gone up, hasn't it?
2:52:03 > 2:52:0810%, 20% more.
2:52:08 > 2:52:11The amount of money that's been added to our fuel bills has
2:52:11 > 2:52:12been quite phenomenal.
2:52:12 > 2:52:14We think twice about putting the heating on sometimes, don't we?
2:52:14 > 2:52:16In the 1960s and 1970s, you wouldn't have had
2:52:16 > 2:52:21the heating on all the time, if you had it.
2:52:21 > 2:52:28We probably didn't worry as much about things like fuel bills.
2:52:28 > 2:52:32Fuel poverty is not a term you used to hear like you do now,
2:52:32 > 2:52:34people having to make choices between heating and eating.
2:52:34 > 2:52:37How is life as a teacher at the moment then?
2:52:37 > 2:52:41Have you seen your salary change at all?
2:52:41 > 2:52:44We've had like 0.5% increases in pay, but it's been frozen
2:52:44 > 2:52:45for the last five years or so.
2:52:45 > 2:52:55We've had a lot of family and friends who have
2:52:57 > 2:53:01lost their jobs and had to find them but with not much warning.
2:53:01 > 2:53:03A bit of a pressure point, isn't it, because there
2:53:03 > 2:53:05are not enough jobs to go around, is there?
2:53:05 > 2:53:08And if you do, it's part-time or have agency staff where you're
2:53:08 > 2:53:10not even getting minimum wage after all the fees.
2:53:10 > 2:53:11So it is tough.
2:53:11 > 2:53:13Do you think it's tougher in the north-east?
2:53:13 > 2:53:17Yes, you feel a bit left out.
2:53:17 > 2:53:19People say, "Oh, yeah, wages are rising".
2:53:19 > 2:53:22I don't know anyone that's had a pay rise in years.
2:53:22 > 2:53:28I mean this is the kind of area where jobs in the public sector
2:53:28 > 2:53:33were the best jobs that you could get.
2:53:33 > 2:53:36The lost of public sector jobs has hit areas like this really hard.
2:53:36 > 2:53:43What do you think of the roads, the rail system, that type of thing?I
2:53:43 > 2:53:47think that massive amounts of investment are needed.They say HS2
2:53:47 > 2:53:50is in the north, is it like Birmingham and Manchester or Leeds
2:53:50 > 2:53:56or whatever? That's where it stops, isn't it? If you're further north
2:53:56 > 2:54:00than that, you're left behind.If we need a hospital, we have to travel
2:54:00 > 2:54:05at least 20 miles.The hospital in town has been changed because of
2:54:05 > 2:54:11cutbacks. They're going to close the maternity wing and everything.We
2:54:11 > 2:54:14would never have envisaged a down the size of Darlington would lose
2:54:14 > 2:54:19theirs.We are trying to do the best for the next two so to speak and
2:54:19 > 2:54:24have fun on the way. We've got a nice house. We've got some food in
2:54:24 > 2:54:27the cupboards, that kind of thing and a lot of people don't actually
2:54:27 > 2:54:42have that very often.Say bye-bye to Steph.Bye-bye.
2:54:44 > 2:54:50He provided a lot of entertainment that day. The Richardson familiar
2:54:50 > 2:54:54there, a lovely family and Nicola, it is not long until she is giving
2:54:54 > 2:54:58birth again, but they are typical of lots of families. They don't see
2:54:58 > 2:55:01themselves as being poor, but they're certainly not on a level
2:55:01 > 2:55:04where they can afford to do a lot of the things they might have perhaps
2:55:04 > 2:55:09done in the past like go on foreign holidays and the like.A small
2:55:09 > 2:55:13amount of money makes a difference. There was research out recently from
2:55:13 > 2:55:16the Financial Conduct Authority which said one in six households
2:55:16 > 2:55:20with a mortgage would really struggle to cope if their bills went
2:55:20 > 2:55:24up by £50. So there is lots of families who are very much on the
2:55:24 > 2:55:28breadline in terms of the money they have. So, it will be interesting to
2:55:28 > 2:55:31see if the Chancellor has got anything to help a family like that.
2:55:31 > 2:55:35Whether there might be an increase in pay for the public sector. There
2:55:35 > 2:55:41is five million people who work in it, Nicola is one of them. Doctors
2:55:41 > 2:55:44and nurses and teachers and people like that wondering if they will see
2:55:44 > 2:55:49a pay increase. I doubt it, but there might be other areas where
2:55:49 > 2:55:52there is more incentives for childcare or skills and education,
2:55:52 > 2:55:55they are concerned about their children's futures. All of that at
2:55:55 > 2:55:5912.30.You will pick through it and you will be here on Breakfast...
2:55:59 > 2:56:05Back on the box tomorrow with the analysis.
2:56:05 > 2:56:08The soap, Coronation Street, has never been one to shy away
2:56:08 > 2:56:11from tackling difficult issues.
2:56:11 > 2:56:14This week sees the start of a new storyline which focuses
2:56:14 > 2:56:15on the devastating effects of testicular cancer
2:56:15 > 2:56:25after the character, Robert Preston, finds a lump.
2:56:26 > 2:56:29We will be joined by Tristan Gemmill, who plays Robert.
2:56:29 > 2:56:32We'll speak to him in a moment, but let's first take a look
2:56:32 > 2:56:34at the moment he learns it could be something serious.
2:56:34 > 2:56:36You're right, there is a definite lump and you're in discomfort with.
2:56:36 > 2:56:40I will arrange a scan for this afternoon.You think it's serious?I
2:56:40 > 2:56:44think it would be silly for any of us to jump to conclusions. That's
2:56:44 > 2:56:50why we need to do a scan. Are you happy?I didn't even ask for the
2:56:50 > 2:56:54examination.Mr Preston due to the pain you're experiencing and the
2:56:54 > 2:56:57signs of increased blood supply in the area, it can't be sure the lump
2:56:57 > 2:57:04is benign. I would strongly recommend we do a scan.
2:57:04 > 2:57:07It is something which many people have gone through and will go
2:57:07 > 2:57:12through. Good morning by the way! Good morning.It is the sort of
2:57:12 > 2:57:15thing that Coronation Street deals with really well. When it was first
2:57:15 > 2:57:19suggested to you by the producers, what did you think?Oh, I was up for
2:57:19 > 2:57:24it. I knew it would be a challenge, but yeah, it's something that the
2:57:24 > 2:57:29show does. It takes its role, its social responsibility role very
2:57:29 > 2:57:33seriously. We saw that with Michelle's baby loss story and the
2:57:33 > 2:57:38Bethany grooming story. So, it was great for me to have an opportunity
2:57:38 > 2:57:45as an actor to go down one of those interesting challenging roads.How
2:57:45 > 2:57:51does your character, Robert cope? Not very well. Like many soaps, the
2:57:51 > 2:57:55way he deals with it is a sort of the blueprint of how not to deal
2:57:55 > 2:57:58with it.It maybe similar to other people who are experiencing it?Yes,
2:57:58 > 2:58:03and that's how you tell stories as well. He is kind of old-fashioned. A
2:58:03 > 2:58:08bit old school. He doesn't want to deal with it. There is that denial
2:58:08 > 2:58:14aspect that he certainly feels and he's got family history of cancer.
2:58:14 > 2:58:18He watched his father die from cancer.Which makes him afraid.So
2:58:18 > 2:58:23he has a big phobia about that as well.How does it test your
2:58:23 > 2:58:29relationship with Michelle played by Kim Marsh?It puts a lot of pressure
2:58:29 > 2:58:33on it because he, assures her that he's going to go and get it checked
2:58:33 > 2:58:38out and he doesn't and in the meantime, other not great stuff
2:58:38 > 2:58:45happens. But she stays with him and she is very loyal and she keeps at
2:58:45 > 2:58:49him until he does something about it.Shall we have a look at the
2:58:49 > 2:58:56clip.Sure.You know you can tell me anything, don't you? Your worst
2:58:56 > 2:59:17fears. Death. Dying. Not holding this for
2:59:17 > 2:59:29the next 40 years.Have present tense.
2:59:29 > 2:59:34I know you don't like watching that but it is very emotional.Isn't it a
2:59:34 > 2:59:38bit much for breakfast on?But these are real discussions are people will
2:59:38 > 2:59:41have to have and since the news is, that your character will have
2:59:41 > 2:59:45testicular cancer, lots of people have got in touch of you -- with
2:59:45 > 2:59:50you, haven't they?Yes, I've had a lot of contact from social networks
2:59:50 > 2:59:53and organisations saying it's great that we are talking about it, thank
2:59:53 > 2:59:57you for doing it, like it's my idea, which it's not but it goes to show
2:59:57 > 3:00:01that there is a need for stories like this and it makes you feel
3:00:01 > 3:00:06better about what you are doing.In terms of research for the role, have
3:00:06 > 3:00:12you spoken to people who have been it? We have had John Hartson on the
3:00:12 > 3:00:14sofa, who speaks very powerfully about his battle with testicular
3:00:14 > 3:00:17cancer and now goes around the country giving talks to people to
3:00:17 > 3:00:23educate them as well. I wonder if you feel educated yourself?A bit,
3:00:23 > 3:00:29there are lots of resources out there, I was contacted by this guy
3:00:29 > 3:00:35who I can't remember his name off the double my head and body won a
3:00:35 > 3:00:38competition called Britain's Manlius man and he is a survivor and an RAF
3:00:38 > 3:00:42pilot as well and he does the same things as John Hartson, talks around
3:00:42 > 3:00:46the country. He was one of the people that got in touch and said
3:00:46 > 3:00:52well done for getting the message out. I did a bit of online research.
3:00:52 > 3:00:58There is something like one in 200 men will contract testicular cancer
3:00:58 > 3:01:02during their lifetime which is quite a high number of people.And the way
3:01:02 > 3:01:05you are playing it, from the way you describe it being written, that is,
3:01:05 > 3:01:09I don't want to generalise, but a lot of men will not go to a doctor
3:01:09 > 3:01:14even if they think they've got a problem.Yeah, I think men, Michelle
3:01:14 > 3:01:18even says it to Robert in the show, if a woman finds a lump in her
3:01:18 > 3:01:22breast, you go straight to see someone about it. Men are a little
3:01:22 > 3:01:27bit, not for the first time, a little bit behind on this sort of
3:01:27 > 3:01:31self-care thing.My mother-in-law is an avid Coronation Street fan and
3:01:31 > 3:01:36I'm sure the last my wander past her television when she had it on
3:01:36 > 3:01:40copyright different coloured hair. Explain the change. It was brown for
3:01:40 > 3:01:44quite a long time.It was, it caused much more of a buzz than I thought
3:01:44 > 3:01:48it would. I thought people would go, oh, yeah, right. He goes to prison
3:01:48 > 3:01:51for six or eight weeks or something, and when he comes out from his hair
3:01:51 > 3:01:58is a different colour. We don't necessarily explain it but there are
3:01:58 > 3:02:00explanations out there if you want to find them.That was deliberately
3:02:00 > 3:02:08done?Yes, it's not like, oh, continuity, someone forgot!We've
3:02:08 > 3:02:13got if there was a different colour! It might be relieved you because I
3:02:13 > 3:02:17imagine this might be more...Maybe there is no hair dye in prison or
3:02:17 > 3:02:22maybe he was so worried about not saving his girlfriend's live from
3:02:22 > 3:02:25the crazy stalker that he went grey overnight or maybe there is another
3:02:25 > 3:02:34reason. Maybe there's not a reason at all.I have not recovered from
3:02:34 > 3:02:38them changing Jim Robinson on Neighbours.At least I'm still the
3:02:38 > 3:02:43same person biologically!Thank you for joining us. As you say, it is a
3:02:43 > 3:02:45really important subject and break that our nation street are dealing
3:02:45 > 3:02:45with it.
3:02:45 > 3:02:51Coronation Street continues tonight on ITV.
3:02:51 > 3:02:54In a moment, we will be joined by Sir Michael Parkinson talking about
3:02:54 > 3:02:55the soundtrack to his life.
3:02:55 > 3:02:57Now a last, brief look at the headlines where
3:02:57 > 3:04:31you are this morning.
3:04:31 > 3:04:32reaches around 15 Celsius.
3:04:32 > 3:04:34That's it.
3:04:34 > 3:04:36I'll be back with the lunchtime news at 1.30 on BBC One.
3:04:42 > 3:04:43It's quite intimidating being here with our
3:04:43 > 3:04:46It's quite intimidating being here with our next guest really. I feel
3:04:46 > 3:04:49bad about all the questions I'm going to ask. As the undisputed king
3:04:49 > 3:04:53of the talk it his injuries have given us an insight into the lives
3:04:53 > 3:04:55of many of the biggest stars.
3:04:55 > 3:04:58Now, Sir Michael Parkinson is revealing the music and artists
3:04:58 > 3:05:00that helped shape his life.
3:05:00 > 3:05:04He is with us. Good morning.Good morning.You can test our questions
3:05:04 > 3:05:08in a moment. But here he is performing with one of the great,
3:05:08 > 3:05:12Bing Crosby.
3:05:12 > 3:05:16# May I have the pleasure of your company?
3:05:16 > 3:05:20# Won't you join me in this happy little song?
3:05:20 > 3:05:31# If I can have the pleasure of your companySweet, sweet.
3:05:31 > 3:05:37# I'll stay on key and try to sing along.You're doing great.
3:05:37 > 3:05:45# Old pal, old boy, it's such a joy, # This band has now become your toy.
3:05:45 > 3:05:51# But really, I'm all at sea, rescue me.
3:05:51 > 3:05:55# So may I have the pleasure of your company?
3:05:55 > 3:06:01# And with this song, we'll make the rafters ring.
3:06:01 > 3:06:11# And with this song, we'll make the rafters ring. #
3:06:11 > 3:06:15APPLAUSE
3:06:15 > 3:06:19Sir Michael Parkinson joins us now.
3:06:19 > 3:06:28I love that!I loved it, too. I was trembling. I thought I was stupid,
3:06:28 > 3:06:31singing with him but it was such a thrill and he was such a nice man.
3:06:31 > 3:06:35He said to me before, "Listen, if you're any good at this, I'm going
3:06:35 > 3:06:42to retire and which were the road". At the end, I said, "How was it?" He
3:06:42 > 3:06:47said, "Guess I'm going back on the road again".An early version of
3:06:47 > 3:06:51Gabor karaoke, how much did you practise?Not a lot because it
3:06:51 > 3:06:55wasn't going to improve, if you can't think you can't sing but you
3:06:55 > 3:06:58always have the ambition, you sing in the bar for ever and you love to
3:06:58 > 3:07:01sing to your wife when you are dancing or whatever, you think it
3:07:01 > 3:07:07makes a difference but you don't, you just get pushed further away.
3:07:07 > 3:07:10But at that time, he was a massive figure in popular music and in my
3:07:10 > 3:07:15life, I grew up with Bing Crosby's music and songs and things. And the
3:07:15 > 3:07:19album, I have got a three CD album, it is a reminder to me of that kind
3:07:19 > 3:07:23of music and the part those people played in my life, people like Frank
3:07:23 > 3:07:27Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.Most people enjoy
3:07:27 > 3:07:30the music you are talking about that is on the album but you are in the
3:07:30 > 3:07:38privileged position where you met most of the people who made it.
3:07:38 > 3:07:41Absolutely, and Bing Crosby was a joy, he loved being on TV and he had
3:07:41 > 3:07:44a wonderful thing where he would arrive, we set the limo for him and
3:07:44 > 3:07:47it came back saying he went in a cab instead. I asked him why he got in a
3:07:47 > 3:07:50cab and did not take the limo. He said, "I've been coming here 42
3:07:50 > 3:07:54years now and I've never had to pay my fair. I get in the back of the
3:07:54 > 3:08:03cab and the guy says, for all the joy you have given me in the family,
3:08:03 > 3:08:07this one's on me." It's the definition of a free ride, a London
3:08:07 > 3:08:10cabbie. I said there must be a couple of occasions when he's not
3:08:10 > 3:08:13recognised. He said it happens a couple of times. I asked what he
3:08:13 > 3:08:19did. Then he said, he would open the communication window and sing three
3:08:19 > 3:08:23bars of White Christmas! He was that kind of guy. He used to arrive
3:08:23 > 3:08:27without much entourage of any and he would have a little hatbox in his
3:08:27 > 3:08:31hand and he'd walk up to the desk at the BBC Television Centre, and say,
3:08:31 > 3:08:37"My name's Bing Crosby, where's the gal's going to fix my toupee?" He
3:08:37 > 3:08:45had his week in the box. -- creat is debating the box.Tell us about
3:08:45 > 3:08:48discovering new music of Ella Fitzgerald because the album covers
3:08:48 > 3:08:51lots of different people, as you say, what did it meet you at the
3:08:51 > 3:08:56time, that kind of music?When I was about ten or 12, the music on the
3:08:56 > 3:09:02BBC in those days, just after the basically, was boring, full of
3:09:02 > 3:09:05adenoidal crooners from the Savoy hotel or it was full of, I don't
3:09:05 > 3:09:10know what it was, it wasn't me, things like How Much Is That Doggie
3:09:10 > 3:09:14In The Window and all of that stuff and one day I was fiddling with the
3:09:14 > 3:09:17radio and I got the American forces network in Germany and I heard a man
3:09:17 > 3:09:20singing and playing the trumpet, Louis Armstrong. I'd never heard
3:09:20 > 3:09:23anything like it and thought it was wonderful. Then the next record was
3:09:23 > 3:09:26Ella Fitzgerald and I'd never heard that either and that divide my music
3:09:26 > 3:09:33for the next 60 years. I mean I'm lucky of live through two great
3:09:33 > 3:09:36periods, that was great, from then to the 60s and then the 60s were the
3:09:36 > 3:09:41next great period, I was at Granada and then we had the Beatles on the
3:09:41 > 3:09:45show is our resident group, how lucky can you be? I mean, come on.
3:09:45 > 3:09:49I've not been lost for people.What a life and career you have had which
3:09:49 > 3:09:54is why people care so much. You have featured celebrity people's lives
3:09:54 > 3:09:58and homes, people care passionately about you. In recent years, you have
3:09:58 > 3:10:02spoken about your battle with prostate cancer, talking about
3:10:02 > 3:10:04Coronation Street dealing with testicular cancer. Ryder that was a
3:10:04 > 3:10:08good interview and he's right about men, men are stupid, they wait too
3:10:08 > 3:10:12long for these things.They are somehow ashamed to go to the doctor
3:10:12 > 3:10:15but they can't do it. Every moment counts, the first minute you feel
3:10:15 > 3:10:19good if you've got a problem, go, please, because you know, an
3:10:19 > 3:10:24aggressive form can take you very quickly.How are you now?I'm good,
3:10:24 > 3:10:28that's not the problem, I had a back operation just which is the other
3:10:28 > 3:10:31problem and has slowed me down a bit because I had to learn how to walk
3:10:31 > 3:10:36again. You should have filmed that. It was hilarious. I used to skate
3:10:36 > 3:10:41down those stairs, Jack the lad, but to see it now, sliding down the
3:10:41 > 3:10:48banister, crashing to the bottom. Couldn't do that these days?I did
3:10:48 > 3:10:50it with Fred Astaire, he was backstage, very nervous and I was a
3:10:50 > 3:10:53kid, and I said I had two great walks I would copy, his John Wayne
3:10:53 > 3:10:57and I walked down the stairs to calm him down and I slipped on the top
3:10:57 > 3:11:03step the bottom. I came down and he was killing himself laughing and he
3:11:03 > 3:11:07said I'd got mixed up between him and John Wayne.I love the way you
3:11:07 > 3:11:12just casually dropped the names into the conversation.It's terrible!The
3:11:12 > 3:11:17Beatles, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire! Just looking back at the music and
3:11:17 > 3:11:21the music now, I used to listening to this?There's a lot of great
3:11:21 > 3:11:24popular music being written now and if you look at some of the output of
3:11:24 > 3:11:29the Beatles, Paul Simon, Hal David and those people, music is wonderful
3:11:29 > 3:11:32now. But I go back to my roots because I have so many happy
3:11:32 > 3:11:37memories and also, I think the big difference nowadays, to make a
3:11:37 > 3:11:40criticism of modern music, is that there are not the lyricist that
3:11:40 > 3:11:43there were, I think there's been an intellectual downgrade in the kind
3:11:43 > 3:11:49of songs that they write and the kind of verse.I'm also interested
3:11:49 > 3:11:52in what you make of in the last month or so, all these allegations
3:11:52 > 3:11:55that have come out after Harvey Weinstein, do you think there has
3:11:55 > 3:11:59been a cultural shift in some ways as well?No, I think things are very
3:11:59 > 3:12:06much as they used to be.In a bad way?Yes. Once we have become more
3:12:06 > 3:12:11acutely aware of more sensitive to is the propriety of it all. -- what
3:12:11 > 3:12:15we have become. Times change and attitudes change but you know, the
3:12:15 > 3:12:18business is, I find it much more difficult nowadays to actually come
3:12:18 > 3:12:24when I look back at my life and the kind of manners of the time, none of
3:12:24 > 3:12:29us would have existed today.Right. We just wouldn't, the majority of it
3:12:29 > 3:12:37was innocent, was just joshing, it was fun. But I'm not talking about
3:12:37 > 3:12:39serious things, I'm talking about meet and greets and that kind of
3:12:39 > 3:12:44thing and that was then in those days and it is there today. Today it
3:12:44 > 3:12:47is more recognised. Taking Harvey Weinstein out of the equation
3:12:47 > 3:12:50because he seems to be a particular predator, and a man who needs more
3:12:50 > 3:12:57than a caution, you stand back for that, you are sad and when people
3:12:57 > 3:12:59like Kevin Spacey get caught up in this, talent bid to people but it's
3:12:59 > 3:13:04got nothing to do with it. -- talented people. But it is something
3:13:04 > 3:13:07they have to do they need some treatment for it, I believe. To
3:13:07 > 3:13:11think it is just happening now is a nonsense. It has a whisper the same.
3:13:11 > 3:13:16A fascinating insight, I wish we had more time to talk!I think it's an
3:13:16 > 3:13:20important subject, we need to address... Maybe have we gone a bit
3:13:20 > 3:13:24too far, got a bit too sensitive, can we draw a line which is a bit
3:13:24 > 3:13:29further north than the one at present? Allow for a bit more freely
3:13:29 > 3:13:34expressed views between people. Well, I think you have probably
3:13:34 > 3:13:38started or joined in the debate. I wish we had more time. We are going
3:13:38 > 3:13:41to do a Facebook live with Sir Michael is maybe we will more
3:13:41 > 3:13:42questions later.
3:13:42 > 3:13:44Michael's compilation album is called Our Kind of Music
3:13:44 > 3:13:47and he'll be touring theatres across the UK next year.
3:13:47 > 3:13:51Lovely to have you won, as ever, and great to see you looking so well.
3:13:51 > 3:13:53That's all we have time for on Breakfast this morning.
3:13:53 > 3:13:56Charlie and Naga will be here tomorrow from 6am,
3:13:56 > 3:13:59They will be talking about the budget and what it means. And
3:13:59 > 3:14:03they've got an astronaut on the programme. We will see you tomorrow.
3:14:07 > 3:14:08There's been a murder -
3:14:08 > 3:14:09and we need you to solve it.
3:14:09 > 3:14:11Piece together the clues.
