Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:00:040:00:11

Eruption imminent.

0:00:110:00:13

Bali's airport is closed leaving

thousands stranded as Mount Agung

0:00:130:00:15

becomes increasingly volatile,

with lava and molten rock

0:00:150:00:18

close to the surface.

0:00:180:00:23

The area is now on the highest state

of alert indicating a major

0:00:230:00:27

risk of eruption.

0:00:270:00:31

Hundreds of thousands have been

moved into shelters.

0:00:310:00:35

Good morning, it's Monday

the 27th of November.

0:00:400:00:43

Also this morning:

0:00:430:00:48

The five people

killed when a stolen car smashed

0:00:480:00:50

into a tree in Leeds are named.

0:00:500:00:52

Three are children,

including two brothers.

0:00:520:00:59

Desperate measures.

0:00:590:01:00

Fears that children with special

needs are being failed by the system

0:01:000:01:03

as increasing numbers of parents

are home educting their children.

0:01:030:01:06

The government unveils its strategy

for Britain's post-Brexit industrial

0:01:060:01:08

future with high-tech

sectors top of agenda.

0:01:080:01:16

In sport, England lose

the first Ashes Test.

0:01:160:01:18

Australia get the runs they needed

easily to win by ten

0:01:180:01:21

wickets in Brisbane.

0:01:210:01:29

Macro # I bet you look good on the

dancefloor, I don't know if you're

0:01:290:01:34

looking for romance or, I don't know

what you're looking for...

0:01:340:01:39

Dad dancer or disco diva?

0:01:390:01:40

We'll be asking why research

suggests that three quarters of men

0:01:400:01:43

never or hardly ever

strut their stuff.

0:01:430:01:45

And Matt has the weather.

0:01:450:01:46

Good morning.

A wet and windy start

to the new week for some but it's

0:01:460:01:50

the mildest morning of the week,

cold air throughout, more details on

0:01:500:01:56

that and you're full forecast in 15

minutes.

Thanks, Matt.

0:01:560:02:00

Good morning.

0:02:000:02:01

First, our main story.

0:02:010:02:02

Authorities in Bali have warned that

a volcano on the island

0:02:020:02:05

is in imminent danger

of a full-scale eruption.

0:02:050:02:07

Mount Agung has been sending clouds

of thick ash and smoke

0:02:070:02:10

thousands of feet into

the air since Saturday.

0:02:100:02:12

The airport has been closed

and locals have been ordered

0:02:120:02:15

to leave their homes.

0:02:150:02:16

Andrew Plant has the latest.

0:02:160:02:24

Bali's most sacred mountain, an

ancient volcano rumbling back to

0:02:240:02:27

life with billows of black smoke.

Mount Agung has been sleeping for

0:02:270:02:31

more than half a century, now awake

and angry. Experts believe a major

0:02:310:02:36

eruption could be about to happen.

TRANSLATION:

The volcano has entered

0:02:360:02:42

the magmatic eruption phase. There

is now the possibility of a strong

0:02:420:02:46

explosive eruption.

Those living nearby were evacuated

0:02:460:02:52

in September at the first signs of

activity. Now the exclusion zone is

0:02:520:02:58

a circle 12 miles wide. The thick

ash rising thousands of metres means

0:02:580:03:03

many flights to and from this

popular tourist destination have now

0:03:030:03:08

been grounded.

All the flights were

cancelled so we're just now at the

0:03:080:03:12

airport, we don't know what we're

doing and we are trying to find

0:03:120:03:16

another flight.

In Bali, no one is taking any

0:03:160:03:19

chances. More than 150,000 people

are in temporary shelters. When the

0:03:190:03:25

volcano last erupted in 1963, more

than 1000 people were killed. This

0:03:250:03:32

time the Indonesian government says

it is much better prepared. Andrew

0:03:320:03:36

Plant, BBC News.

0:03:360:03:39

More on that through the programme

for you.

0:03:390:03:41

There are fears children

with special needs are being let

0:03:410:03:44

down by the education system.

0:03:440:03:45

A BBC Breakfast investigation has

revealed an increasing number

0:03:450:03:47

of children have no school place.

0:03:470:03:49

The National Association

of Special Educational Needs

0:03:490:03:51

has told this programme

it is worried that some families

0:03:510:03:54

believe home education

is their only option.

0:03:540:03:56

Our education editor

Branwen Jeffreys has more.

0:03:560:04:04

For more than a year, Emily has been

learning at home. She's been

0:04:040:04:09

diagnosed with autism and ADHD.

School felt noisy and overwhelming.

0:04:090:04:14

A bit stressful because I don't

really like, like, a lot of loud

0:04:140:04:20

noises because it just makes me

really upset and I want to learn

0:04:200:04:25

things that I'm interested in, but,

it's like I can't learn anything

0:04:250:04:30

because I don't know how to and they

don't tell me how.

0:04:300:04:33

Emily would get angry and lash out.

Now she is on medication at home.

0:04:330:04:40

Her mum, Lorna, decided to home

educate after trying free schools.

0:04:400:04:45

I couldn't cope with her going to

school and then coming back with her

0:04:450:04:50

so stressed out, so angry at me and

then not wanting to go to school the

0:04:500:04:55

next day. The meltdowns were

horrendous and I can't pick her up

0:04:550:04:59

and put her in the car and

physically take her to school.

Lorna

0:04:590:05:03

isn't the only parent to reach this

decision. A growing number of

0:05:030:05:07

families with children with special

needs are deciding to home educate.

0:05:070:05:11

The fear is there doing that because

they feel let down by the school

0:05:110:05:15

system. Between 2013 and 2017 there

was a 57% increase in children with

0:05:150:05:24

special needs being home educated,

and that's just children who have a

0:05:240:05:27

statement or equivalent in England,

Wales or Northern Ireland. It's a

0:05:270:05:33

64% increase if you just look at

England. Scotland has a different

0:05:330:05:38

system, making comparisons

difficult.

I think before there was

0:05:380:05:41

people genuinely making a choice

because that was the right thing for

0:05:410:05:45

them and now there are too many

families who are saying they don't

0:05:450:05:48

feel like they have either option so

they're having to resort to home

0:05:480:05:53

education, that can't be right.

Emily is learning differently with

0:05:530:05:57

some extra classes. She's happier

out of schools but misses her

0:05:570:06:01

friends. In England the government

says more special education places

0:06:010:06:05

are being created and its putting

money into the system to make it

0:06:050:06:09

work better. Branwen Jeffreys, BBC

News.

0:06:090:06:13

Throughout the week we are looking

specifically at special education

0:06:130:06:17

needs and what it's like for

children, parents, teachers.

0:06:170:06:22

And Branwen will be here to explain

0:06:220:06:24

more about this in around 20

minutes.

0:06:240:06:27

The families of five people,

including three children,

0:06:270:06:30

who died when a stolen car crashed

into a tree in Leeds have paid

0:06:300:06:33

tribute to their relatives.

0:06:330:06:34

Police are still

investigating the collision,

0:06:340:06:36

which happened on Saturday night.

0:06:360:06:37

Andy Moore reports.

0:06:370:06:38

A vigil last night by the friends

and family of those who died.

0:06:380:06:43

Some struggling to come to terms

with the sudden death

0:06:430:06:46

of so many young people.

0:06:460:06:52

The stolen Renault Clio

crashed into a tree.

0:06:520:06:54

The wreckage was soon removed.

0:06:540:06:56

People who saw it said

0:06:560:06:57

it was simply a crumpled mess,

almost unrecognisable as a car.

0:06:570:07:03

Police are still trying to establish

if all seven people involved

0:07:030:07:06

were in that vehicle.

0:07:060:07:07

All five who died have

now been named locally.

0:07:070:07:11

Brothers Ellis and Elliott

were the youngest, aged just

0:07:110:07:13

12 and 15.

0:07:130:07:16

Darnell Harte, also 15,

was the third child victim.

0:07:160:07:19

Two adults were killed.

0:07:190:07:21

Robbie Meerun, who was 24,

and Anthoney Armour.

0:07:210:07:29

He was 28, a father of two

with a third child on the way.

0:07:290:07:32

Of the two 15-year-old boys arrested

on suspicion of causing death

0:07:320:07:35

by dangerous driving,

one is understood to have been taken

0:07:350:07:38

to hospital with serious,

but not life-threatening injuries.

0:07:380:07:41

Police have described the crash

as a tragic incident.

0:07:410:07:44

They say their investigations

to find out exactly

0:07:440:07:46

what happened are continuing.

0:07:460:07:47

Andy Moore, BBC News.

0:07:470:07:53

Theresa May has said the government

will fund the full cost of dealing

0:07:530:07:57

with the aftermath of the suicide

bombing at the Manchester Arena,

0:07:570:08:00

which killed 22 people in May.

0:08:000:08:02

It comes after the Mayor

of Greater Manchester,

0:08:020:08:06

Andy Burnham, said the government's

initial offer was £5 million too

0:08:060:08:12

low and estimated that £28

million would be needed.

0:08:120:08:15

High-tech industries are set

to receive millions of pounds

0:08:150:08:18

in extra funding to boost

skills and create jobs.

0:08:180:08:20

It's part of the government's

Industrial Strategy,

0:08:200:08:22

which aims to increase economic

performance post-Brexit.

0:08:220:08:24

Sean is in Coventry

for us this morning.

0:08:240:08:34

What's going on?

Good morning. These

are the kind of ideas the government

0:08:340:08:39

wants to see implemented much more.

This is the Manufacturing technology

0:08:390:08:43

centre in Coventry. When you got

something like this, a bit of

0:08:430:08:47

innovation that may have gone on in

one of our universities, the idea of

0:08:470:08:52

this industrial strategy is to get

businesses to invest in that, get

0:08:520:08:56

the skills in that area, create a

hub to enable more investment from

0:08:560:09:01

around the world to make Britain a

leader in whichever area that might

0:09:010:09:04

be. There are five areas this

Industrial Strategy, this white

0:09:040:09:13

paper, set of proposals by the

government want to see implemented,

0:09:130:09:16

fight areas they focus on. Ideas,

that's a big one, the big idea

0:09:160:09:20

overall for all these different

sectors, whether it is life

0:09:200:09:22

sciences, the pharmaceutical sectors

like we are hearing the big

0:09:220:09:25

investment of today, getting those

ideas, everyone talking and getting

0:09:250:09:29

everyone going. People, of course,

with all the productivity issues we

0:09:290:09:33

have, we know we need more

investment in people, the skills and

0:09:330:09:37

education and that will come through

as well and they want those two to

0:09:370:09:41

be co-ordinating. Then you've got

infrastructure, can people travel

0:09:410:09:46

round the country getting to the

jobs they need to and can businesses

0:09:460:09:49

communicate in a good enough way?

That's another thing. Then there's

0:09:490:09:54

business environment, finance,

access to finance for businesses,

0:09:540:09:57

how often have we talked about that

one? All these things when put

0:09:570:10:01

together, the idea is Britain can

become much better. Then finally

0:10:010:10:06

places, not just London centric.

That's a big part of this as well.

0:10:060:10:10

We have the Northern Powerhouse and

we've heard about the Midland engine

0:10:100:10:14

but it's across the country these

ideas need to be in fermented and

0:10:140:10:18

the investment from MSD, a big

pharmaceutical company, the idea is

0:10:180:10:23

for them to create a research hub

around the UK were nearly 1000 jobs

0:10:230:10:27

can be lamented and that can help

boost investment in that industry.

0:10:270:10:31

Through the morning I will be

talking more about this to figure

0:10:310:10:35

out what it is these robots do and

the advantages it can have for the

0:10:350:10:40

British economy.

Sean, thank you

very much indeed, speak to you

0:10:400:10:43

throughout the programme. I can't

turn around because I have hurt my

0:10:430:10:48

neck!

That was really awkward for

you. You have slipped in a bad

0:10:480:10:53

place! Word! I will look around.

You

look around, I'm not being rude to

0:10:530:10:58

Sean!

0:10:580:11:00

Now how about this for

a sweet annual tradition?

0:11:000:11:07

This lifesize, two-storey

gingerbread house stands

0:11:070:11:08

in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel

0:11:080:11:10

in San Francisco in the United

States.

0:11:100:11:12

It took 375 hours to assemble

and is 25 feet high,

0:11:120:11:15

and 35 feet wide.

0:11:150:11:16

It is made from more than 10,000

pieces of gingerbread and has over

0:11:160:11:20

a ton of icing!

0:11:200:11:23

A full working clock as well. Hope

to lead that gets demolished and

0:11:230:11:26

handed out to various charities to

eat. -- hopefully.

Not after that

0:11:260:11:32

amount of time!

Gingerbread lasts a

long time, doesn't it?

You're

0:11:320:11:38

probably right.

One ton of icing?

If

you had a little selection box after

0:11:380:11:43

that, surely it lasts that long,

like Christmas cake, goes on for

0:11:430:11:47

the?

There's nothing worse than when

it goes a bit soft and a bit soggy

0:11:470:11:52

-- goes on for ever.

Just put it in

your tea and it will be fine! So,

0:11:520:11:58

the Ashes.

We knew this was going to

be happening.

No one predicted

0:11:580:12:03

England would get anywhere winning

the first test?

Nobody said England

0:12:030:12:07

were going to storm it from the

start, you make a good point, so no

0:12:070:12:12

surprise with this headline.

0:12:120:12:15

England lost the first

Test in Brisbane.

0:12:150:12:17

Australia got the runs they needed

easily without losing a wicket.

0:12:170:12:21

So despite some promising

moments along the way,

0:12:210:12:23

they were comfortably

beaten in the end.

0:12:230:12:25

For three days we played some

excellent cricket. Unfortunately

0:12:250:12:28

when we got into good positions we

didn't quite capitalise on that and

0:12:280:12:32

if we'd done that we would have seen

a very different scoreboard sat here

0:12:320:12:36

right now.

0:12:360:12:39

More on the cricket in the papers

shortly.

0:12:390:12:41

Manchester City's unbeaten run

0:12:410:12:42

at the top of the Premier League

continues.

0:12:420:12:44

They beat Huddersfield 2-1 to move

eight points clear of rivals

0:12:440:12:47

Manchester United at

the top of the table.

0:12:470:12:49

Celtic have won the Scottish League

Cup, their fouth domestic trophy

0:12:490:12:53

in a row after beating Motherwell

2-0 at Hampden Park.

0:12:530:12:55

And in the battle of rugby union's

Premiership top two,

0:12:550:12:58

Exeter Chiefs ran out winners.

0:12:580:12:59

The league leaders beat

their nearest rivals Saracens

0:12:590:13:02

by just two points yesterday.

0:13:020:13:04

Please don't laugh at my voice!

We're not laughing!

It's all gone a

0:13:040:13:09

bit gravel like?

It has, I will sort

it!

0:13:090:13:15

Let's catch up on the weather with

Matt.

0:13:150:13:18

Good morning

0:13:180:13:19

Good morning from on top of the roof

at broadcasting house in London, the

0:13:190:13:23

likes of Regent Street twinkling

behind and the ground is a bit damp.

0:13:230:13:27

A bit of rain here and we'll see

that through this morning in

0:13:270:13:30

southern areas, but looking at the

week, get ready, if you got a

0:13:300:13:34

bargain this weekend with a warm

jacket or a scarf, you will need it,

0:13:340:13:39

a cold week. A mixture of sunny

spells and showers with the showers

0:13:390:13:43

turning wintry and we will see them

today in the north of Scotland.

0:13:430:13:48

Let's start in the south, it is the

mildest morning of the week for

0:13:480:13:52

many. Temperatures to start the

morning without breaks of rain in

0:13:520:13:56

southern counties around 11 or 12,

that's the highest they will get all

0:13:560:14:00

day and a strong wind blowing across

the south through the morning before

0:14:000:14:03

the rain eventually clears. North of

mid Wales, the Midlands, sunny

0:14:030:14:08

spells and a scattering of showers

for the morning rush-hour. Some

0:14:080:14:12

showers will be a bit heavy. Over

the tops of the hills in Northern

0:14:120:14:19

Ireland, Comrie and Scotland, a

mixture of sleet and snow and in the

0:14:190:14:23

far north-east of Scotland, a windy

start to Monday, with the winds

0:14:230:14:26

gusting to 50 or 60 mph -- Cumbria.

Windy through the day in the

0:14:260:14:30

north-east of Scotland. Still breezy

in the English Channel, the rain

0:14:300:14:33

spreads to the Channel Islands,

that's where it sits in the

0:14:330:14:36

afternoon. Southern counties will

brighten up compare to this morning

0:14:360:14:40

but temperatures will be dropping,

showers possible anywhere --

0:14:400:14:43

compared to. Some rumbles of

thunder, especially around the

0:14:430:14:48

coast, and wintry over high ground

in the north. Temperatures dropping

0:14:480:14:51

through the day, single figures in

the afternoon, colder in the

0:14:510:14:55

north-east given the strength of the

wind. Through the night the wind

0:14:550:14:59

will remain strong nationwide but we

will see the showers becoming less

0:14:590:15:02

numerous. A wet evening rush-hour in

the south-west but elsewhere the

0:15:020:15:06

showers confined to northern and

western coasts in particular, clear

0:15:060:15:10

skies inland. The breeze keeping

temperatures up just about but a

0:15:100:15:14

cold start tomorrow morning. Some

frost around here and there and even

0:15:140:15:19

a bit of ice over fireground,

showers continuing through the

0:15:190:15:22

night. On Tuesday, fewer showers

around, better chance of sunshine.

0:15:220:15:28

Sunshine at its best in south-west

Scotland and north-west England, the

0:15:280:15:31

Midlands and south-west England. A

few showers tomorrow in the west but

0:15:310:15:35

more so in eastern parts of England

and eastern Scotland, they will turn

0:15:350:15:40

wintry. A strong wind and it will

make it feel cold, temperatures made

0:15:400:15:44

to feel more like freezing in some

parts of eastern Scotland and

0:15:440:15:48

eastern England with the strong

wind. It will remain windy and cold

0:15:480:15:52

into Wednesday with temperatures

dropping day on day through the

0:15:520:15:55

week. Showers most likely in eastern

areas, one or two in the west, those

0:15:550:16:00

showers sleet and snow at times in

eastern parts and they will spread

0:16:000:16:04

inland to many Eastern counties of

England and Scotland through the

0:16:040:16:07

day. Temperatures what you see on

the chart, it will feel colder in

0:16:070:16:11

the wind. If anything feeling colder

on Thursday, Thursday probably the

0:16:110:16:16

coldest day of the week with

temperatures only around three or

0:16:160:16:22

four for many. Maybe the winter

jacket you got at the weekend will

0:16:220:16:26

prove to be a bargain.

0:16:260:16:30

That is a very important warning.

Set to get cold throughout the week.

0:16:300:16:36

The big freeze is the last month.

Britain facing a new weather alert

0:16:360:16:40

in the run-up to Christmas and

Prince Harry and Meghan

0:16:400:16:44

Markle on the front page, many

papers asking is tomorrow going to

0:16:440:16:48

be the day when he officially

announces their engagement, because

0:16:480:16:51

his brother was engaged on Tuesday.

It is magical Tuesday, everyone, if

0:16:510:16:58

it happens. If I was them, I would

put it off. The Telegraph are

0:16:580:17:04

talking about the Armed Forces

possibly not receiving any extra

0:17:040:17:08

funding as a result of a major

national security review.

0:17:080:17:11

Administrative defence has been told

that. Sailors have taken over from

0:17:110:17:16

the usual guardsman at Buckingham

Palace as the Royal Navy performs

0:17:160:17:19

first time stop is the year of the

0:17:190:17:23

are left to run A&E. Jonny Bairstow

0:17:290:17:37

on the front page, which I am sure

Sally will talk about later on. As

0:17:370:17:41

well as the cricket in Australia,

there has been a bit of argy-bargy,

0:17:410:17:47

as well. The Times reports that

thousands of children have been used

0:17:470:17:52

by criminal gangs as drug runners in

a criminal scandal with echoes of

0:17:520:17:57

Rotherham and Rochdale. Calls for

the law to be changed and fault

the flu jab for children.

It is not

0:18:040:18:09

a jab, though.

No, the nasal spray,

that thing. Looking at the front

0:18:090:18:15

page of the Daily Mirror, Russia's

lies over flu jabs in Britain.

0:18:150:18:23

Russia cyber units are spreading

false information about flu and

0:18:230:18:27

measles in the UK.

The Daily Mail

talking about ambulance crews being

0:18:270:18:36

sent on 999 calls, sending cut-price

tech regions instead of paramedics,

0:18:360:18:41

according to an investigation they

have done.

You mentioned the Ashes,

0:18:410:18:45

and we mentioned Jonny Bairstow. It

appears that around a month ago, in

0:18:450:18:50

a nightclub, there was a little bit

of an altercation. Shall we re-enact

0:18:500:18:54

it?

We are touching.

Was that it?

No

malice?

No malice whatsoever. Jonny

0:18:540:19:03

Bairstow touched heads with a

team-mate, in a friendly way like we

0:19:030:19:07

did.

To be honest with you, that was

unexpected. It came out of nowhere.

0:19:070:19:14

Thing I want to talk to you about,

is the bar where it happened, a

0:19:140:19:23

venue previously called Club

Bayview, and it earned the nickname

0:19:230:19:37

Bayspew among patrons.

Isn't it

funny that it occurred a month ago

0:19:370:19:41

and it is being reported now. Got

any spare antifreeze? This is a

0:19:410:19:48

photographer who took a picture in

Churchill, in Canada, the Polar Bear

0:19:480:19:52

poking out the window, and Debbie

McGee, the secret behind the splits.

0:19:520:19:59

59 and then be as anything. -- bendy

as anything. Yoga is what is

0:19:590:20:09

inspiring flexibility.

0:20:090:20:10

We often talk about endangered

species on this programme,

0:20:100:20:13

but here is one that hasn't yet been

filmed by Sir David Attenborough -

0:20:130:20:17

the dancing British male.

0:20:170:20:18

A survey by BBC 5 Live has found

more than three quarters of men

0:20:180:20:22

either never dance at all

or only do so rarely.

0:20:220:20:24

Most of them say they

are too embarrassed.

0:20:240:20:26

So, in a bid to reverse

this worrying trend,

0:20:260:20:29

we dug through the archives and went

out to find some blokes

0:20:290:20:32

who still like to boogie.

0:20:320:20:34

If any teenagers are watching,

we should warn you that this film

0:20:340:20:37

does contain some images

of dad-dancing which you may find

0:20:370:20:39

disturbing.

0:20:390:20:43

# I bet that you look good on the

dance floor...

Can't dance?

No.

No,

0:20:490:21:03

there you go.

I read some surveys

that I am allowed to dad-dance, and

0:21:030:21:11

I do at every opportunity.

It has to

be done. I wouldn't be a dad if I

0:21:110:21:23

wasn't dancing.

I see a lot of

people doing it.

I like it.

being

0:21:230:21:33

known to move in a dancing sort of

fashion.

Very pretty.

What do you

0:21:330:21:40

think?

Bad.

I'm sexy and I know it.

0:21:400:21:50

I am a big fan of dad-dancing.

0:21:500:21:56

We would love to see

your dad-dancing videos.

0:21:560:21:58

You can e-mail us at

[email protected],

0:21:580:21:59

or tweet them using

the hashtag #BBCBreakfast.

0:21:590:22:01

I am looking forward to seeing some

of those later on.

0:22:010:22:04

We are taking some time this

week to shine a light

0:22:040:22:07

on what it is like to live

with a special educational need.

0:22:070:22:11

Today, we have been hearing how

an increasing number of children

0:22:110:22:14

with complex needs are

being educated at home.

0:22:140:22:16

A BBC Breakfast investigation has

revealed a 133% rise in the number

0:22:160:22:19

of pupils without a school

place since 2013.

0:22:190:22:21

To tell us more, we are joined

by our education editor Branwen

0:22:210:22:24

Jeffreys.

0:22:240:22:25

Branwen, what can you tell us

about these figures?

0:22:250:22:29

You hear them and you think that is

a massive increase.

It really is,

0:22:290:22:34

and quite striking compared to the

number of special needs children,

0:22:340:22:38

which although it has been going up

a little bit, hasn't been going up

0:22:380:22:42

as fast as these figures. When you

look at what we found, we found that

0:22:420:22:46

around 1600 children with a

statement or one of the new care

0:22:460:22:51

plans were being home educated.

Around 1000 have no school place

0:22:510:22:56

whatsoever and the average waiting

time for families for a school place

0:22:560:22:59

was five months. That is across

Northern Ireland, England and Wales.

0:22:590:23:04

In Scotland it is slightly different

so we couldn't make the same

0:23:040:23:08

comparison. It is worth noting this

is the tip of the iceberg. These are

0:23:080:23:12

the children who have a statement or

a care plan, and they have the most

0:23:120:23:16

severe needs. There will be other

families in a similar situation who

0:23:160:23:20

haven't had the needs of their

children recognised.

I am sure many

0:23:200:23:23

of our viewers will be able to

answer this question, but what is

0:23:230:23:27

causing the rise in numbers?

We no

school budgets are under pressure,

0:23:270:23:31

and if you have a child with a care

plan in your school in England, you

0:23:310:23:35

have to find the first £6,000 to

give them the extra help they need

0:23:350:23:39

out of their own school budget if

you are a head teacher. So that is

0:23:390:23:44

actually costing them money, it is

only after that you can get some top

0:23:440:23:48

up funding. That is one thing,

reducing the support. Parents are

0:23:480:23:51

then pulling their children out of

schools because of that. But schools

0:23:510:23:55

are measured by all kinds of

accountability test. Test results,

0:23:550:23:59

league tables, and special needs

children do not really fit into the

0:23:590:24:05

world of league tables, test results

and exam results.

And I know you

0:24:050:24:09

have been having a really good look

at what impact it has been having on

0:24:090:24:13

children and families, as well.

For

some families it will be a choice to

0:24:130:24:18

home educate at some families feel

so badly let down by the system, and

0:24:180:24:22

they feel as though they have no

choice, it was their child has been

0:24:220:24:27

so miserable, so unsupported in

school, they must take them out and

0:24:270:24:31

teach them at home.

And we will be

looking at this subject in detail

0:24:310:24:35

throughout the week.

0:24:350:24:36

Later in the hour,

we will have a report

0:24:360:24:38

from Jayne McCubbin,

who has been given rare access

0:24:380:24:41

inside a special school

in Manchester, to see how

0:24:410:24:43

they are coping with increasing

demand on the system.

Still to come this morning: Have

you been struck down

0:25:060:25:08

by flu this winter?

0:25:080:25:10

Well, doctors say children

are super-spreaders of the disease,

0:25:100:25:12

and they are urging parents

to get their little ones vaccinated.

0:25:120:25:15

We will get more on this shortly.

0:25:150:25:27

Do you

0:25:270:28:45

to get much colder as we had through

0:25:270:28:45

to get much colder as we had through

this week. There is dry weather

0:28:450:28:46

around, though. Still quite easy,

with the risk of a shower. -- quite

0:28:460:28:50

breezy.

0:28:500:28:50

That's all for now, but we will be

back in half an hour.

0:28:500:28:53

There is more on our website

at the usual address.

0:28:530:28:56

For now, it is back

to Dan and Louise.

0:28:560:28:59

Goodbye.

0:28:590:29:00

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:29:000:29:03

We'll bring you all the latest news

and sport in a moment,

0:29:030:29:06

but also on Breakfast this morning:

0:29:060:29:08

How a mince pie could

help tackle loneliness.

0:29:080:29:10

We'll find out about a new campaign

from the Jo Cox Foundation.

0:29:100:29:13

These men aren't afraid to dance,

but new research suggests

0:29:130:29:16

more than three quarters of men are.

0:29:160:29:19

So we'll be celebrating

the joy of dad-dancing.

0:29:190:29:26

Hello, mother, how are you?

Oh, you

know, not so bad.

Great, well, got

0:29:260:29:33

to go.

0:29:330:29:34

And he's introduced us to gangsta

grannies and awful aunties,

0:29:340:29:36

now it's the turn of Bad Dad.

0:29:360:29:38

We'll be joined by comedian

and children's author

0:29:380:29:40

David Walliams.

0:29:400:29:47

Here's a summary of this morning's

main stories from BBC News:

0:29:470:29:50

Authorities in Bali have warned that

a volcano on the island

0:29:500:29:53

is in imminent danger

of a full-scale eruption.

0:29:530:29:55

Mount Agung has been

sending clouds of thick ash

0:29:550:29:58

and smoke thousands of feet

into the air since Saturday.

0:29:580:30:00

The airport has been closed

and locals have been ordered

0:30:000:30:03

to leave their homes.

0:30:030:30:09

These are pictures live coming to us

from Bali of the volcano. As you can

0:30:090:30:16

see, there are more ash clouds than

there has been in the last 24 hours,

0:30:160:30:20

it's quite difficult to see it now

but we'll keep you right up to date.

0:30:200:30:32

There are fears children

with special needs are being let

0:30:320:30:35

down by the education system.

0:30:350:30:36

A BBC Breakfast investigation has

revealed an increasing number

0:30:360:30:39

of children have no school place.

0:30:390:30:43

I think before there was people

genuinely making a choice

0:30:430:30:46

because that was the right thing

for them and now there are too many

0:30:460:30:50

families who are saying they don't

feel like they have either option

0:30:500:30:53

so they're having to resort to home

education, that can't be right.

0:30:530:31:00

The families of five people,

including three children,

0:31:000:31:02

who died when a stolen car crashed

into a tree in Leeds have paid

0:31:020:31:06

tribute to their relatives.

0:31:060:31:07

Our reporter is in Leeds where the

vigil took place last night. Police

0:31:070:31:10

are still investigating the

collision but have they released any

0:31:100:31:14

more information about what

happened?

Yes, good morning. Not for

0:31:140:31:20

the moment but there is still a

police presence here and you could

0:31:200:31:23

see where this incident happened on

Saturday night. This is stone to

0:31:230:31:28

Road, about three miles north of

Leeds city centre, it was cordoned

0:31:280:31:32

off for most of yesterday and this

is where the stolen Renault Clio

0:31:320:31:36

collided with the tree. You can see

last night local people have been

0:31:360:31:41

laying floral tributes. The

investigation is still ongoing into

0:31:410:31:45

what happened. Emergency services

were called just before 10pm to what

0:31:450:31:48

they say was a scene of complete

carnage. Officers on the scene say

0:31:480:31:53

they were confronted by a very

difficult situation, five people

0:31:530:31:57

lost their lives, including three

children, the youngest just 12 years

0:31:570:32:05

old. To 15-year-old boys and two men

aged 24 and 28 were killed. The

0:32:050:32:09

victims named locally as 15-year-old

Daniel Hart, Robbie Meerun, 24, and

0:32:090:32:16

24-year-old Anthony Aamer -- 28. The

exact circumstances are being pieced

0:32:160:32:22

together. Meanwhile 215 -year-olds

are in custody on suspicion of

0:32:220:32:28

causing death by dangerous driving.

Thank you very much.

0:32:280:32:33

Theresa May has said the government

will fund the full cost of dealing

0:32:330:32:37

with the aftermath of the suicide

bombing at the Manchester Arena,

0:32:370:32:40

which killed 22 people in May.

0:32:400:32:41

It comes after the Mayor

of Greater Manchester,

0:32:410:32:43

Andy Burnham, said the government's

initial offer was £5 million too

0:32:430:32:46

low and estimated that £28

million would be needed.

0:32:460:32:58

High-tech industries will receive

millions of pounds of extra funding

0:32:580:33:02

to boost skills and promote jobs as

part of the government strategy to

0:33:020:33:06

boost economic performance

post-Brexit. We will be

0:33:060:33:17

investigating this more through the

morning. Sean is in Coventry.

0:33:170:33:23

A second inquest into the death of

toddler Poppi Worthington will begin

0:33:230:33:27

after the first hearing more

shrouded in secrecy and lasted seven

0:33:270:33:31

minutes. The 13 -month-old was found

with serious injuries at her home in

0:33:310:33:35

Cumbria in December 2012. Last year

a family judge ruled she had been

0:33:350:33:40

sexually assaulted by her father,

who always denied any wrongdoing. No

0:33:400:33:44

one has ever been charged over her

death.

0:33:440:33:51

Councils in England generated

£819 million in profit

0:33:510:33:53

from parking fees and fines

during the last financial year,

0:33:530:33:56

that's 10% higher than

in the previous one.

0:33:560:33:58

Figures obtained by the RAC

Foundation showed four

0:33:580:34:00

of the five

councils with the largest

0:34:000:34:02

surplus were in London.

0:34:020:34:03

The Local Government Association

said income from parking went

0:34:030:34:06

towards essential transport

projects and repairs.

0:34:060:34:14

I did some street parking in London

a few years ago and I'm still

0:34:140:34:19

recovering, £38 for about seven

hours. Chelsea! That will do it. A

0:34:190:34:24

personal issue that I shouldn't have

brought up on the programme.

0:34:240:34:28

Car thieves have come up with a new

way of stealing cars in less than a

0:34:280:34:33

minute without using keys. This from

West Midlands police shows us relay

0:34:330:34:37

crime. They use boxes to receive a

signal that tricks the system in the

0:34:370:34:42

car to thinking the key has been

used.

0:34:420:34:51

Quite high-tech, isn't it?

Snide.

Why are we sharing this information?

0:34:510:34:56

Don't try that at home by the way!

You didn't see that, folks!

0:34:560:35:03

Good morning. Not great news from

Australia on various levels. So far

0:35:030:35:09

the Aussies are winning the mind

games, aren't they?

The time. -- big

0:35:090:35:14

time.

0:35:140:35:16

England lost the first

Test in Brisbane.

0:35:160:35:21

Australia got the runs they needed

easily without losing a wicket.

0:35:210:35:23

So despite some promising moments

along the way they were comfortably

0:35:230:35:26

beaten in the end.

0:35:260:35:27

They go 1-0 down in the five match

series.

0:35:270:35:31

I think the most important thing is

we stay strong and tight as a group

0:35:310:35:35

of players and as a squad and we

continue to keep doing the hard work

0:35:350:35:40

we have done throughout the whole

trip. For three days we played some

0:35:400:35:44

excellent cricket.

0:35:440:35:45

Unfortunately when we got into good

positions we didn't quite capitalise

0:35:450:35:48

on that and if we'd done

that we would have seen a very

0:35:480:35:51

different scoreboard

sat here right now.

0:35:510:35:54

I think this team has the potential

to do some really good things and

0:35:540:35:59

we'll have to continue to play

really good cricket. Adelaide wicket

0:35:590:36:02

might bring some of their bowlers

into the game a little bit but

0:36:020:36:06

having said that, it's probably one

of the quickest wickets in the

0:36:060:36:09

country.

0:36:090:36:12

There has already been a bit of

bother with Cameron Bancroft and

0:36:120:36:19

Johnathan Bairstow.

There were

accusations Bairstow head-butted

0:36:190:36:22

Cameron Bancroft on a night out in

Perth before the tour. Bairstow said

0:36:220:36:29

the incident had been blown out of

all proportion.

0:36:290:36:32

We were just in the bar having a

good laugh and a good evening out.

0:36:320:36:36

It was very enjoyable. Cameron and I

enjoyed the evening and continue to

0:36:360:36:42

do so. No intent or malice about

anything during the evening.

0:36:420:36:49

He connected with my head and, you

know, with a force that would make

0:36:490:36:56

me think, like, Wells, that's a bit

weird. And, yeah, that

0:36:560:37:01

was it.

0:37:010:37:06

Manchester City manager

Pep Guardiola has prasied his

0:37:060:37:08

players as they came from behind

against Huddersfield to continue

0:37:080:37:11

thier their unbeaten run at the top

of the Premier League.

0:37:110:37:14

Raheem Sterling was the match winner

for City with just six

0:37:140:37:17

minutes left in the game.

0:37:170:37:18

Their lead at the top of the table

now eight points over rivals

0:37:180:37:22

Manchester United.

0:37:220:37:23

Impossible to win every game easy

because the Premier League is so

0:37:230:37:26

tough. Today may be one of the worst

times how much of a Premier League

0:37:260:37:32

game it was today. The guys competed

amazingly so that's why we won and

0:37:320:37:37

we're still there.

0:37:370:37:39

Everton are two points off

the Premier League relegation zone

0:37:390:37:42

after suffering another heavy defeat

under caretaker manager

0:37:420:37:44

David Unsworth, they lost 4-1

to Southampton yesterday.

0:37:440:37:52

Charlie Austin scored two

second-half headers before

0:37:520:37:53

Steven Davis beat Jordan Pickford

from the edge of the box to wrap

0:37:530:37:57

up the victory.

0:37:570:37:58

Everton have won just once in seven

games under Unsworth.

0:37:580:38:01

It's killing me. It's really tough.

But the situation's been tough for a

0:38:010:38:09

while so I have to take

responsibility and I will, I'll

0:38:090:38:12

stand here and take responsibility

as manager, but we've all got to

0:38:120:38:17

take our responsibility as well.

It's tough at the moment, we're in a

0:38:170:38:21

tough place. Things have to change

quickly.

0:38:210:38:28

Arsenal move up to fourth

in the table after a controversial

0:38:280:38:31

injury-time penalty

against Burnley at Turf Moor.

0:38:310:38:32

Alexis Sanchez scored the goal

that moves them ahead

0:38:320:38:35

of North London rivals Tottenham.

0:38:350:38:36

There is a lot of me

inside that is raging, a lot.

0:38:360:38:40

But it's OK, I will

still look like this.

0:38:400:38:42

My view is that it is highly

unlikely that anything

0:38:420:38:45

other than a penalty

was going to get given.

0:38:450:38:47

Celtic have won their fourth

domestic trophy in a row

0:38:470:38:50

as they retained the Scottish League

Cup this afternoon beating

0:38:500:38:53

Motherwell 2-1.

0:38:530:38:53

James Forrest scored the first

for Celtic just after the break

0:38:530:38:56

and they doubled their lead

with a controversial penalty that

0:38:560:38:59

saw Motherwell defender

Cedric Kipre sent off.

0:38:590:39:01

Celtic go 65 domestic

games now without defeat.

0:39:010:39:06

Hibernian completed the cup double

for the second year running

0:39:060:39:09

with a 3-0 victory over Glasgow City

in the Women's Scottish Cup final.

0:39:090:39:13

Reigning champions Exeter Chiefs

are five points clear at the top

0:39:130:39:16

of the Premiership after beating

second place Saracens

0:39:160:39:18

by just two points yesterday.

0:39:180:39:19

The Chiefs scored two tries

in the second half to come

0:39:190:39:22

from behind against Sarries.

0:39:220:39:23

Both teams were missing a number

of players to international duty.

0:39:230:39:26

Elsewhere Wasps beat London Irish.

0:39:260:39:38

England boss Eddie Jones has been

named coach of the year

0:39:380:39:41

at the World Rugby awards in Monaco.

0:39:410:39:43

The Australian guided England

to a second successive 6 Nations

0:39:430:39:46

title in 2017, before an unbeaten

summer tour of Argentina and three

0:39:460:39:49

wins out of three this autumn.

0:39:490:39:51

Jones is the first England head

coach since Clive Woodward in 2003

0:39:510:39:54

to win the accolade.

0:39:540:39:55

Valtteri Bottas took the honours

ahead of Mercedes team-mate

0:39:550:39:58

Lewis Hamilton in the final race

0:39:580:39:59

of the Formula 1 season in Abu

Dhabi.

0:39:590:40:01

The Finn completed

the hat-trick of pole position,

0:40:010:40:04

fastest lap and race win

as he claimed his third victory

0:40:040:40:07

of the year.

0:40:070:40:07

Sebastian Vettel finished third

which was enough to secure

0:40:070:40:10

the German the runners up spot

in the drivers' Championship,

0:40:100:40:13

which Hamilton had already won.

0:40:130:40:17

In netball, England have

won the second match

0:40:170:40:19

of the Vitality Netball

International Series against Malawi.

0:40:190:40:21

The Roses won 61-53

at the Copper Box Arena in London.

0:40:210:40:24

They go 2-0 up in the

three match series.

0:40:240:40:30

Great to see the Copper Box being

used again, some brilliant memories

0:40:300:40:35

of the Olympics of course. Proper

venue! Proper venue!

Thanks very

0:40:350:40:42

much, see you later.

0:40:420:40:44

For many older people,

spending some quality time

0:40:440:40:47

with grand-children or other young

relatives is one of the greatest

0:40:470:40:49

pleasures of the festive period.

0:40:490:40:51

But NHS chiefs are warning that

Christmas cuddles could be

0:40:510:40:53

a health hazard if the child

is among the four in five who have

0:40:530:40:57

not been vaccinated against flu.

0:40:570:40:59

Professor Keith Willett,

NHS England's medical director

0:40:590:41:01

for acute care, has described

children as super-spreaders.

0:41:010:41:03

We can speak to him now.

0:41:030:41:06

Good morning.

Good morning.

Super

spreader, what does it mean?

Young

0:41:060:41:14

children are very important

influence, they catch it very easily

0:41:140:41:18

and they also spread it very easily

-- in flu. The good news is the

0:41:180:41:23

nasal spray vaccine we have four

children now, which we're making

0:41:230:41:27

available free for every child from

two to nine, is not only highly

0:41:270:41:31

effective at stopping them getting

the flu but the evidence is it's one

0:41:310:41:35

of the best ways of stopping older

people, pregnant family members,

0:41:350:41:40

perhaps grandparents or older family

members with long-term conditions

0:41:400:41:44

from catching flu themselves. For

them it can be very serious and

0:41:440:41:48

sadly occasionally fatal.

Which is a

really stark message actually. What

0:41:480:41:52

are the figures, how many are

getting this vaccine?

We make 21

0:41:520:41:59

million flu vaccinations available

each year, that's more than a third

0:41:590:42:02

of the whole population of England.

That's all those groups I've talked

0:42:020:42:06

about. And we need a certain level

of take-up for it to be effective.

0:42:060:42:11

At the moment we've only got about

one in 62 to three -year-olds being

0:42:110:42:16

vaccinated with the nasal spray, and

we've only got 30% of children who

0:42:160:42:21

are in the school age, from

reception to year for. The messages

0:42:210:42:25

to mum and dad is quite simple, get

your two and three -year-olds booked

0:42:250:42:29

into the GPs for their nasal spray,

and likewise make sure you've given

0:42:290:42:34

consent so they can have the nasal

spray at school. That way you're

0:42:340:42:38

looking after the whole family,

which is really important over this

0:42:380:42:42

festive period.

And it's free for

children at those ages?

Absolutely.

0:42:420:42:47

Free for those and free for everyone

over 65, free fall pregnant women

0:42:470:42:52

and those who have long-term

conditions or those who care for

0:42:520:42:56

them and this year it's also free

for care workers in residential

0:42:560:43:00

homes and those who look after

people in their own homes.

Why isn't

0:43:000:43:06

it working, why are parents not

taking their children to get

0:43:060:43:09

vaccinated? It's not going to hurt

because it's a nasal spray, isn't it

0:43:090:43:13

crazy so why is it?

Yes, it's a lack

of awareness and I'm delighted to

0:43:130:43:18

make those mums and dads were this

morning. For the two and three

0:43:180:43:22

-year-olds you have to contact your

GP and book in and make sure they

0:43:220:43:26

get the spray from the practice

nurse, and for the schoolchildren,

0:43:260:43:29

make sure you're aware of the

programme. If you are asked to give

0:43:290:43:33

consent then do so and contact the

school if you think you might not

0:43:330:43:37

have had the note because perhaps

the child hasn't given it to you.

0:43:370:43:41

That the Lego point, checked in

their schoolbags. You are director

0:43:410:43:46

for acute care at NHS England. --

that's a good point. -- check in

0:43:460:43:52

their schoolbags. Are you ready for

this winter?

We are the re- prepared

0:43:520:43:56

this year, more so than ever before,

we have more beds available -- we

0:43:560:44:01

are very prepared. From a flu point

of view the Norman Jo temperate

0:44:010:44:06

zones in the northern hemisphere, it

hasn't taken off apart from in

0:44:060:44:12

Canada -- from a flu point of view

for normal temperatures own is.

0:44:120:44:16

Let's get everybody vaccinated.

--

for

0:44:160:44:26

It is cold this morning already. You

will know that if you have

0:44:260:44:34

It is cold this morning already. You

will know that if you have emerged

0:44:340:44:34

from the duvet already.

Believe it

or not, out there this morning it is

0:44:340:44:39

the marvellous start to the week. It

will get colder as the week goes on

0:44:390:44:43

-- mildest start. The overall story

for the week is for cold air to

0:44:430:44:48

dominate. It turns the wind into a

northerly direction. Temperatures

0:44:480:44:52

dropping to their lowest by the time

we get to Thursday. A lot of

0:44:520:44:56

sunshine but quite a few showers as

well, and as well as being the

0:44:560:45:00

mildest start, the web is start in

southern counties, a cold front

0:45:000:45:05

pushing colder air back to all parts

later on -- mildest start. Outbreaks

0:45:050:45:10

of rain through many southern

counties to get us to the morning

0:45:100:45:14

rush hour. Quite windy across the

south, but note the temperatures. 11

0:45:140:45:18

to 12 degrees. Lower as we push

further north, a mixture of sunshine

0:45:180:45:24

and a scattering of showers across

many parts of UK to start with. Some

0:45:240:45:28

of the driest places east of the

Pennines and the eastern parts of

0:45:280:45:32

Scotland. Showers across the hills

of northern England and Scotland

0:45:320:45:35

will be wintry, sleet and snow here.

A wintry start here, winds gusting

0:45:350:45:39

50 or 60 mph to begin with and it

will remain windy in the north-east

0:45:390:45:45

throughout. That will feed showers

across many parts of the UK through

0:45:450:45:48

the day. After a wet start, southern

counties will brighten up. It stays

0:45:480:45:52

wet in the Channel Islands

throughout, but most areas at least

0:45:520:45:56

seeing one or two showers pushing

through. Though showers get heavy

0:45:560:46:01

with hail and thunder, and maybe a

little bit of winter in this in the

0:46:010:46:05

north. Temperatures dropping for the

day. For most in single figures as

0:46:050:46:10

we go into the afternoon. It will

feel colder in the wind in the wind

0:46:100:46:14

will remain a feature tonight. Quite

a breezy night in store. A wet start

0:46:140:46:18

to the south-east of England, which

clears through. A few showers in

0:46:180:46:22

coastal districts to the north and

west in particular. Inland we will

0:46:220:46:26

see a touch of frost here and there

but the wind will keep temperatures

0:46:260:46:31

up a little bit. It will not stop it

feeling particularly cold tomorrow

0:46:310:46:35

morning. Tomorrow morning, a lot

more sunshine around to start your

0:46:350:46:38

day, especially southern and eastern

areas to begin with. If anything,

0:46:380:46:42

tomorrow, a few showers in the west.

Mainly rain and sleet but northern

0:46:420:46:47

Scotland, eastern Scotland and

eastern parts of England, more

0:46:470:46:51

showers for EU compared with today.

In the strongest of the winds is in

0:46:510:46:55

the east. It will feel more like

temperatures just either side of

0:46:550:46:59

freezing as we go into the

afternoon. A real wind chilled to

0:46:590:47:03

Tuesday, and that will remain

especially across eastern areas on

0:47:030:47:06

Wednesday. Eastern areas most prone

to showers on Wednesday. Western

0:47:060:47:10

areas always tend to be that bit

drier and brighter but wherever you

0:47:100:47:15

are it will feel cold. If anything,

temperatures will drop into

0:47:150:47:20

Thursday, around three or four

degrees at rest, and it will feel

0:47:200:47:23

chillier than that in the wind. So a

cold, wintry week in store to finish

0:47:230:47:29

November. This morning we start with

some wind and rain, especially

0:47:290:47:32

across southern counties.

0:47:320:47:33

some wind and rain, especially

across southern counties.

We will

0:47:330:47:36

have to prepare the gloves, the hats

and the coats.

0:47:360:47:39

BBC Breakfast has learnt there has

been a significant rise in demand

0:47:390:47:42

for places in special

schools across England,

0:47:420:47:44

and we have heard of some parents

forced to send their children

0:47:440:47:47

hundreds of miles across

the country in order to access

0:47:470:47:50

the support they require.

0:47:500:47:51

The Government says it is investing

hundreds of millions of pounds

0:47:510:47:54

to try and ease the pressure.

0:47:540:47:56

So why is specialised

support so important?

0:47:560:47:57

Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been

given exclusive access to one school

0:47:570:48:00

in Manchester to find out.

0:48:000:48:05

We have been given rare access to

spend the day with the children at

0:48:050:48:10

the Royal School, Manchester. This

is a special school for children

0:48:100:48:15

with some of the highest needs. 200

staff support 48 children here,

0:48:150:48:20

including Chloe.

We have just done

mapmaking. She has sat beautifully

0:48:200:48:26

the whole lesson, which she would

never, ever have done when she first

0:48:260:48:31

came here.

That is fantastic. Chloe

has been here for 11 weeks. Ever

0:48:310:48:37

since her last school placement

broke down.

It was so difficult. I

0:48:370:48:42

was very sad, I isolated myself, and

I didn't have a life. She would

0:48:420:48:47

physically try and attack me, not to

hurt me, but just out of distress.

0:48:470:48:51

The turnaround is above and beyond

what I could have imagined. Saying

0:48:510:48:58

mummy every day, she only said mummy

to me twice in six years, and now I

0:48:580:49:04

get it every day. I have got my

little girl back, she is so happy.

0:49:040:49:08

At all of this cost, and there is a

national shortage of places. James

0:49:080:49:15

survived birth at 25 weeks. Many

more babies are surviving premature

0:49:150:49:20

births, and conditions which

previously would have killed, but

0:49:200:49:23

many will have special needs because

of that, and many will join a

0:49:230:49:27

waiting list for a space.

We've got

a seven-year-old child who is

0:49:270:49:32

starting here next week, and they're

coming from Hertfordshire.

How many

0:49:320:49:36

miles is that?

A long, long way.

Is

that a great sadness to you, that

0:49:360:49:42

these children can't find the right

vision on the doorstop?

Closer to

0:49:420:49:47

home, yes. -- doorstep.

When TV

arrived, she couldn't walk or

0:49:470:49:52

communicate. -- Evie.

She used to

slam the trays, and wouldn't make

0:49:520:50:00

eye contact.

Today, Evie loves

music, and her clothes, and it

0:50:000:50:06

seems, cameras. And she loves hugs.

She can make these choices now.

The

0:50:060:50:14

question is, where would Evie be

today if she had had this kind of

0:50:140:50:18

specialist support right from the

start? It costs a huge amount of

0:50:180:50:22

money to have a child here. Like,

maybe £250,000 a year.

If we can

0:50:220:50:28

commit to investing that money much

earlier in places like this, we can

0:50:280:50:32

see children returning back to

mainstream, and over the life of

0:50:320:50:36

that child there will be a return on

that investment, which will mean

0:50:360:50:39

when they become adults, they get

employment, they go on to live

0:50:390:50:42

independently, and that will cost

society much less.

Early

0:50:420:50:46

intervention is everything.

Page for

Henry.

Henry is doing so well he may

0:50:460:50:52

be able to move onwards and upwards

to let specialist provision -- H for

0:50:520:50:57

Henry. The reality for most

children, though, is that they will

0:50:570:51:02

have to have struggled in other less

specialist placements before they

0:51:020:51:05

can finally get to the place where

they make progress.

I nigh feel like

0:51:050:51:10

she's got a future. She has a chance

in life -- I now feel.

Goodbye. We

0:51:100:51:16

are going to let you go.

See you

soon.

Goodbye, see you soon.

0:51:160:51:21

Diane says teaching assistants are

now a luxury and schools are unable

0:51:460:51:50

to support children with SEN

properly. Sean says we took our

0:51:500:51:57

children out of mainstream education

in 2016 after his primary school

0:51:570:52:01

failed him continually. He has

autism and sensory processing

0:52:010:52:05

disorder and since then no one has

taken an interest in him, despite

0:52:050:52:09

having an educational healthcare

plan. It shows if you are not a

0:52:090:52:13

round peg in a round hole, things

can go wrong.

And Sally says that it

0:52:130:52:21

sounds like nothing much has changed

for these young people. It doesn't

0:52:210:52:24

get any easier. There is always a

battle to be fought.

Keep those

0:52:240:52:29

coming in, thank you very much for

those. Good morning to you.

0:52:290:52:33

High-tech industries,

from pharmaceuticals to robotics

0:52:330:52:34

and biochemistry to engineering,

are to receive a boost

0:52:340:52:37

in funding and training.

0:52:370:52:38

It is because the Government

believes the sector will provide

0:52:380:52:41

the best opportunity

to improve the UK's

0:52:410:52:42

economic performance post-Brexit.

0:52:420:52:43

Sean is in Coventry

for us this morning.

0:52:430:52:50

Good morning. I am having a very

jolly time of it. Staying away from

0:52:500:52:57

the robots at the moment. You can

see the huge Manufacturing

0:52:570:53:01

Technology Centre here in Coventry.

Very reflective of the idea of what

0:53:010:53:06

the government wants to achieve when

it comes to the strategy. You have

0:53:060:53:11

the innovation from local

universities being fermented into

0:53:110:53:13

machinery. All kinds of businesses

will be here using this, trying to

0:53:130:53:17

figure out how they can improve

their own businesses with this --

0:53:170:53:21

being fermented. We will have a chat

Clive, the chief executive of the

0:53:210:53:30

whole place. What can the government

learn in implementing an industrial

0:53:300:53:36

strategy to put skills together with

business investment, all that kind

0:53:360:53:39

of thing, and make Britain great at

some of this stuff.

I think the key

0:53:390:53:45

thing we have to think about is that

this environment creates a place

0:53:450:53:48

where we can bring industry and

academia together with how other

0:53:480:53:56

capabilities and use it as a sandpit

to try things out. So take an

0:53:560:54:01

industry out of its comfort zone,

pushing forward new technologies,

0:54:010:54:05

and giving them the opportunities to

see how they can apply those to

0:54:050:54:09

different applications in their

industry.

What kind of stuff have we

0:54:090:54:12

got going on now? We can see a

couple of lads at work on the 3D

0:54:120:54:17

printing machines. How is that a

good example of what we want to see

0:54:170:54:20

more of?

So what we see now is that

3D printing started out as a polymer

0:54:200:54:27

3D printing capability. We have

moved that on the bee dance alloy

0:54:270:54:31

powders that we use for 3D printing.

We call it additive manufacture --

0:54:310:54:39

to be dance alloy powders.

And

having the same skills here as a bit

0:54:390:54:46

of a hub can mean more business is

having a look at what you are doing.

0:54:460:54:51

And we can have the

cross-fertilisation of the different

0:54:510:54:54

technologies you use ringing people

together to look at how you can use

0:54:540:54:57

3D printing with robotics, with

lasers.

So there is lots going on.

0:54:570:55:04

You have the lads on the 3D

printers, and the dreaded robots. My

0:55:040:55:08

nemeses are here as well. How much

can these help business? Let's have

0:55:080:55:13

a chat to Richard Butler. This is

really advanced technology here. A

0:55:130:55:18

lot of businesses will be looking at

this and thinking where can I get

0:55:180:55:22

this into my business? The

government is trying to carry out a

0:55:220:55:25

big industrial strategy at a time it

is also trying to carry out big

0:55:250:55:30

Brexit negotiations, almost as

crucial, if not more so, for

0:55:300:55:33

business. Can they do both?

I think

it is a good question. Addressing

0:55:330:55:39

the industrial strategy is as

important to Brexit for moving the

0:55:390:55:44

economy forward.

When you talk about

productivity, some of these robots

0:55:440:55:51

are clearly doing the job of many

people before. When it comes to

0:55:510:55:55

productivity, this isn't going to

help people get a pay rise next

0:55:550:55:58

year, is it, which is what the big

issue last week we were talking

0:55:580:56:04

about was.

You're right, if people

expect immediate returns next year,

0:56:040:56:09

that is not going to happen. This is

about longer term productivity,

0:56:090:56:12

where companies can make bigger

profits and as a result of that can

0:56:120:56:18

pay their employees more in due

course. If you look at the likes of

0:56:180:56:23

Rolls-Royce, aerospace, Jaguar Land

Rover, these are companies at the

0:56:230:56:26

Top End of productivity, and the Top

End of pay scales.

The idea is a big

0:56:260:56:32

productivity boost. A white paper

out today. We will talk about

0:56:320:59:54

That's all for now, but we will be

back in half an hour.

0:59:540:59:57

There is more on our website

at the usual address.

0:59:571:00:00

Goodbye.

1:00:001:00:01

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:00:311:00:35

Eruption imminent.

1:00:351:00:37

Bali's airport is closed leaving

1:00:371:00:39

thousands of tourists stranded

as Mount Agung becomes increasingly

1:00:391:00:42

volatile, with lava bubbling

close to the surface.

1:00:421:00:45

These area near the volcano is now

on the highest state of alert

1:00:451:00:49

and hundreds of thousands of people

have been moved into shelters.

1:00:491:00:51

Good morning, it's Monday

the 27th of November.

1:01:071:01:09

Also this morning:

1:01:091:01:11

The five people

killed when a stolen car smashed

1:01:111:01:14

into a tree in Leeds are named.

1:01:141:01:20

Three are children,

including two brothers.

1:01:201:01:21

Desperate measures.

1:01:211:01:22

Fears that children with special

needs are being failed by the system

1:01:221:01:25

as increasing numbers of parents

are home educting their children.

1:01:251:01:35

good morning. The government

announces its big plans to boost the

1:01:351:01:40

economy today so I'm this high-tech

research centre in commentary to see

1:01:401:01:44

if the industrial strategy proposals

will encourage business investment

1:01:441:01:47

in the UK.

1:01:471:01:48

In sport, England lose

the first Ashes Test.

1:01:481:01:51

Australia get the runs they needed

easily to win by ten

1:01:511:01:54

wickets in Brisbane.

1:01:541:01:57

I can use you...

Youzhny?

Yeah, use

you. -- use me.

1:01:571:02:18

And Matt has the weather.

1:02:181:02:22

The modest start to the week but wet

and windy weather for some. A warm

1:02:221:02:28

jacket week. More details coming up

soon that my oldest. -- mildest.

1:02:281:02:40

Good morning.

1:02:401:02:41

First, our main story.

1:02:411:02:42

Authorities in Bali have warned that

a volcano on the island

1:02:421:02:45

is in imminent danger

of a full-scale eruption.

1:02:451:02:47

Mount Agung has been sending clouds

of thick ash and smoke

1:02:471:02:50

thousands of feet into

the air since Saturday.

1:02:501:02:52

The airport has been closed

and locals have been ordered

1:02:521:02:55

to leave their homes.

1:02:551:02:56

Andrew Plant has the latest.

1:02:561:03:00

Bali's most sacred mountain,

an ancient volcano rumbling back

1:03:001:03:02

to life with billows of black smoke.

1:03:021:03:04

Mount Agung has been sleeping

for more than half a century,

1:03:041:03:07

now awake and angry.

1:03:071:03:08

Experts believe a major eruption

could be about to happen.

1:03:081:03:11

TRANSLATION:

The volcano has entered

the magmatic eruption phase.

1:03:111:03:13

There is now the possibility

of a strong explosive eruption.

1:03:131:03:24

Those living nearby were evacuated

in September at the first

1:03:241:03:26

signs of activity.

1:03:261:03:27

Now the exclusion zone

is a circle 12 miles wide.

1:03:271:03:30

The thick ash rising thousands

of metres means many flights

1:03:301:03:33

to and from this popular tourist

destination have now been grounded.

1:03:331:03:37

All the flights were cancelled

so we're just now at the airport,

1:03:371:03:40

we don't know what we're

doing and we are trying

1:03:401:03:43

to find another flight.

1:03:431:03:45

In Bali, no one is

taking any chances.

1:03:451:03:49

More than 150,000 people

are in temporary shelters.

1:03:491:03:52

When the volcano last erupted

in 1963, more than 1,000

1:03:521:03:55

people were killed.

1:03:551:03:56

This time the Indonesian government

says it is much better prepared.

1:03:561:03:59

Andrew Plant, BBC News.

1:03:591:04:13

Bali is home to four active

volcanoes and there are fears the

1:04:131:04:16

largest could fully erupt within a

day. Indonesian authorities have put

1:04:161:04:22

the island on the highest level of

alert.

1:04:221:04:26

Elaine, thank you for talking to us

this morning, I know you're a safe

1:04:261:04:31

distance away outside the exclusion

zone, but what is it like at the

1:04:311:04:35

moment?

Everywhere is quite calm.

The local population such as the

1:04:351:04:43

farmers in the field are busy

gathering in their rice, crushing it

1:04:431:04:47

and laying it on the ground in big

sheets. Despite the ash that has

1:04:471:04:51

fallen on all surfaces. Further out

there's a place I was at this

1:04:511:04:57

morning and the ash on the leaves is

quite thick and silvery. Further out

1:04:571:05:02

there is no sign of any ash on any

surfaces, such as cars or streets.

1:05:021:05:09

They cleaned it this morning and a

small smattering has appeared again.

1:05:091:05:14

We've been hearing many people have

been moved away and evacuated, how

1:05:141:05:18

are people generally reacting?

A few

local people who are not indigenous

1:05:181:05:25

Balinese, they have decided to leave

voluntarily to head towards

1:05:251:05:31

Denpasar, the capital. But people

such as myself, various other people

1:05:311:05:37

who like using cameras, they are

actually chasing the volcano! They

1:05:371:05:42

are coming here specifically to this

great mountain views hotel in order

1:05:421:05:47

to have a clear view of the volcano

when the clouds are not of skewering

1:05:471:05:51

it. At the moment there's a tall of

smoke rising in the air but it is

1:05:511:05:56

pretty much of smoke rising in the

air but it is pretty much obscured

1:05:561:06:00

by the clouds at the base of the

volcano.

It doesn't appear that you

1:06:001:06:04

are worried about this, Elaine, our

others worried?

I think my family

1:06:041:06:09

might be worried for me! -- are

other people worried? I'm not the

1:06:091:06:14

kind of person to get scared easily.

The last time the mountain erupted

1:06:141:06:19

in the 1960s, over 1000 died, I

would imagine things have changed a

1:06:191:06:23

bit since then, though?

I think

nature will be exactly the same but

1:06:231:06:28

the authorities have placed an

exclusion zone around the volcano,

1:06:281:06:32

which they hope will be enough to

maintain life.

Good to talk to you,

1:06:321:06:37

stay safe and hopefully you can take

some nice pictures and we'll get an

1:06:371:06:41

update with you over the next few

days on BBC Breakfast. Thanks for

1:06:411:06:48

talking to us, Elaine.

We will keep you up to date with

1:06:481:06:51

what's going on with the volcano as

well.

1:06:511:06:58

The families of five people,

including three children,

1:06:581:07:00

who died when a stolen car crashed

into a tree in Leeds have paid

1:07:001:07:04

tribute to their relatives.

1:07:041:07:07

Our reporter, Phil Bodmer,

is in Leeds where a vigil was held

1:07:071:07:11

in memory of the victims last night.

1:07:111:07:13

Police are still investigating

the collision, but have

1:07:131:07:15

they released anything more

about what happened?

1:07:151:07:17

That's right, Louise. The

circumstances of what happened here

1:07:171:07:19

just before 10pm on Saturday night

are still very much unclear. As you

1:07:191:07:24

mentioned, a vigil was held by many

local people last night in memory of

1:07:241:07:28

the victims and the growing pile of

floral tributes is behind me as the

1:07:281:07:33

police pieced together what

happened. The victims have been

1:07:331:07:37

named locally as brothers Ellis and

Elliott Thornton, Ellis was 12 and

1:07:371:07:42

Elliott was 15. They lead died

alongside 15-year-old Darnell Harte

1:07:421:07:46

and 24-year-old Robbie Meerun.

Father of two Anthony Armour, 28, he

1:07:461:07:54

also died in the collision. Police

are appealing for anyone who may

1:07:541:07:58

have been in the area on Saturday

night who may have seen anything or

1:07:581:08:03

seen what happened in the buildup to

the tragic crash to come forward.

1:08:031:08:07

Meanwhile two 15 -year-olds remain

in custody, they were arrested on

1:08:071:08:12

suspicion of causing death by

dangerous driving but still a long

1:08:121:08:16

way to go in this investigation and

we're expecting further updates from

1:08:161:08:20

West Yorkshire police later today.

Phil Bodmer, thank you very much.

1:08:201:08:24

Theresa May has said the government

will fund the full cost of dealing

1:08:241:08:28

with the aftermath of the suicide

bombing at the Manchester Arena,

1:08:281:08:31

which killed 22 people in May.

1:08:311:08:32

It comes after the Mayor

of Greater Manchester,

1:08:321:08:34

Andy Burnham, said the government's

initial offer was £5 million too

1:08:341:08:38

low and estimated that £28

million would be needed.

1:08:381:08:40

High-tech industries are set

to receive millions of pounds

1:08:401:08:43

in extra funding to boost

skills and create jobs.

1:08:431:08:48

We have sent Sean to a factory which

makes machines for factories. That's

1:08:481:08:53

right, Sean, isn't it?

He's wearing

a very rare blue high-viz jacket?

1:08:531:08:59

They aren't quite that rare here but

it makes a change from the normal

1:08:591:09:05

fluorescent yellow, very nice!

Industrial strategy, a white paper

1:09:051:09:08

which is a lot of proposals from the

government on what it wants to see

1:09:081:09:13

implemented. Advanced manufacturing

would be one area where the idea of

1:09:131:09:17

an industrial strategy is to make

sure whoever comes up with the idea

1:09:171:09:21

of the machine will get the business

investment, the government policy

1:09:211:09:24

around that and the skills to make

Britain very good at certain

1:09:241:09:28

sectors. There are five key areas

this industrial strategy is going to

1:09:281:09:33

look at. First you have ideas. You

need to come up with the ideas for

1:09:331:09:39

these machines. How do we make sure

those ideas in the UK are as big as

1:09:391:09:44

they can be and everyone comes --

everyone who comes up with them talk

1:09:441:09:52

to each other. You have people.

Infrastructure, getting around the

1:09:521:09:55

country. All that needs investment.

You have the business environment.

1:09:551:10:03

Lots of businesses and universities

want the cash involved and the

1:10:031:10:08

government policy to enable them to

do it. Then the places. Around the

1:10:081:10:12

UK, that's one idea behind this, the

investment we've heard about today

1:10:121:10:18

from big pharmaceutical MSD is

outside of London, that's what the

1:10:181:10:21

government wants to see more of, not

just London centric. Some businesses

1:10:211:10:26

are concerned about the uncertainty

of Brexit being a distraction from

1:10:261:10:31

this industrial strategy, it's not

straightforward that it will help

1:10:311:10:34

people tomorrow, this is investment

for many years ahead. It might not

1:10:341:10:39

help the economy in the near future,

like we talked about last week, but

1:10:391:10:43

this morning we will talk about what

this means for the British economy

1:10:431:10:46

in future decades.

Thanks very much,

Sean.

1:10:461:11:02

Councils in England generated £819

million in profit

1:11:021:11:04

from parking fees and fines

during the last financial year,

1:11:041:11:07

that's 10% higher than

in the previous one.

1:11:071:11:09

Figures obtained by the RAC

Foundation showed four

1:11:091:11:11

of the five

councils with the largest

1:11:111:11:13

surplus were in London.

1:11:131:11:14

The Local Government Association

said income from parking went

1:11:141:11:16

towards essential transport

projects and repairs.

1:11:161:11:18

You're up to date with the latest

news. You're watching BBC News

1:11:181:11:21

first. Good morning. Six former

British soldiers imprisoned in India

1:11:211:11:26

since 2013 will find out today

whether they will be released on

1:11:261:11:29

appeal.

1:11:291:11:35

The so-called Chennai Six had been

working on an anti-piracy

1:11:351:11:38

ship when they were

arrested four years ago.

1:11:381:11:42

There were 35 sailors

on the American-owned Seaman Guard

1:11:421:11:44

Ohio, which provided armed

protection to vessels sailing

1:11:441:11:50

through an area known

as Pirates Alley between

1:11:501:11:52

the Indian Ocean

and the Red Sea.

1:11:521:11:54

Customs officials and

police found 35 guns,

1:11:541:11:56

including semi-automatic weapons,

as well as nearly 6,000

1:11:561:11:58

rounds of ammunition on board

the ship, which did not have

1:11:581:12:01

permission to be in Indian waters.

1:12:011:12:02

The six Brits were accused

of illegally possessing weapons

1:12:021:12:05

and jailed for five years,

but have consistently

1:12:051:12:07

denied any wrongdoing.

1:12:071:12:08

We're joined now by family

members of two of the men,

1:12:081:12:11

Yvonne MacHugh, who is

Billy Irving's fiance.

1:12:111:12:13

and Joanne Thomlinson,

who is John Armstrong's sister.

1:12:131:12:17

I know you recently came back from

visiting your family members, last

1:12:171:12:23

Sunday, how are they?

They are

surprisingly well. Billy was in

1:12:231:12:27

great spirits, obviously he's been

over in India and he was trying to

1:12:271:12:34

keep me positive and trying to keep

me happy and reassuring me that he's

1:12:341:12:38

going to be OK and just to make sure

I look after myself and our son and

1:12:381:12:46

that everything will be OK.

How old

is he? Blue he is two. Has he seen

1:12:461:12:51

him at this point?

They were free

men when all the charges were

1:12:511:12:59

quashed, Billy was still out in

India unable to come home so I

1:12:591:13:02

brought my son out to see him when

he was three months and that was the

1:13:021:13:07

first time he saw him and the other

two times were in prison behind

1:13:071:13:11

bars.

That's really tough, isn't it?

John, how is he doing?

He's

1:13:111:13:18

incredibly resilient, staying really

strong and he's really the same

1:13:181:13:21

person that left the UK over four

years ago, which is incredible after

1:13:211:13:25

everything these men have been

through. They were originally held

1:13:251:13:29

without charge, all the charges were

dropped against them in 2014 after

1:13:291:13:34

they were charged, held without

charge for 18 months and then

1:13:341:13:39

convicted so it's been a huge

endurance test for the men and the

1:13:391:13:42

families but they're doing really

well.

Give us an idea of the

1:13:421:13:46

conditions, you have to pay for

clean drinking water, quite a few

1:13:461:13:50

have suffered from dysentery and

other things in jail?

Absolutely,

1:13:501:13:53

they are in a shared cells, they

sleep on the floor. They get one

1:13:531:13:58

meal a day and they are reliant on

the care packages the British public

1:13:581:14:02

have been sending over to them to

supplement their diet.

What about

1:14:021:14:07

the conditions, you have seen some

of them?

We have been over there to

1:14:071:14:12

the prison. Our visits are in the

jailer's office so we don't get to

1:14:121:14:17

see the cell but the smell when you

walk into the prison hits you, it is

1:14:171:14:22

disgusting. It is over 40 degrees

without any air conditioning. They

1:14:221:14:28

have snakes and rats, it is just

while.

Are you hopeful that you will

1:14:281:14:35

see them get out today? -- vile.

It

is really up in the air. I am so

1:14:351:14:40

apprehensive about it all.

Sorry, I

didn't mean to interrupt you.

1:14:401:14:47

Basically I don't think there will

be a chance they will get out today

1:14:471:14:50

but we're hoping that the verdict

will decide that they can be free

1:14:501:14:55

men. It wouldn't happen immediately,

though, because they will be

1:14:551:14:59

processes.

What help have you had

from the Foreign Office? There's

1:14:591:15:04

been criticism of the role Boris

Johnson and others have played in

1:15:041:15:07

this.

Definitely, they certainly

haven't taken a strong enough stance

1:15:071:15:11

on this. They have raised the case

over 50 times with their Indian

1:15:111:15:17

counterparts yet we have seen no

progress from that. So there's a lot

1:15:171:15:22

of talking, a lot of saying we're

doing this, we're doing that, but

1:15:221:15:26

we've seen no progress and no

movement from the courts. We're now

1:15:261:15:30

four years on and the men are still

in prison so whatever they're doing

1:15:301:15:34

isn't working and we need them to

take a stronger stance if this

1:15:341:15:37

appeal doesn't go in our favour.

I

know you will be watching the

1:15:371:15:42

verdict closely today. Can you get

in contact with them afterwards,

1:15:421:15:45

what will happen?

Basically they

will have to phone their lawyer

1:15:451:15:49

today to find out the verdict, so

it's very possible we could know for

1:15:491:15:53

a few hours before the men. But

we're hoping we will be able to

1:15:531:15:58

speak to the lawyer quickly and

we'll go from there.

They were all

1:15:581:16:02

in the armed forces?

The six British

men were. John was in the Parachute

1:16:021:16:08

Regiment, as was clearly. Parlay

their army training has taught them

1:16:081:16:12

well in terms of dealing with the

conditions and conditions --

1:16:121:16:17

clearly. -- Gilly.

I know you will

be watching it with us on BBC

1:16:171:16:24

Breakfast and good luck to you --

Billy.

We will get you a comment

1:16:241:16:31

from the Home Office as well a

little bit later in the programme.

1:16:311:16:34

Thank you for your time.

It is going

to be hats, coats, everything, isn't

1:16:341:16:41

it?

1:16:411:16:43

to be hats, coats, everything, isn't

it?

Yes, good morning. We might be

1:16:431:16:44

in November, but nature is jumping

the gun, so it will feel more like

1:16:441:16:50

winter. Temperatures will drop and

if we look at the forecast, it is

1:16:501:16:55

summarised by the word cold, cold

weather for just about all of us,

1:16:551:16:59

not today, though. We will see the

mildest conditions to start the week

1:16:591:17:03

this morning. Temperatures will drop

through the day. The warmest of all,

1:17:031:17:07

if you call it warm, across southern

counties of England, 11- 12 degrees

1:17:071:17:12

at the moment. Some windy conditions

with it and outbreaks of rain

1:17:121:17:16

through the morning rush hour.

Clearing from the south of Wales

1:17:161:17:20

shortly and clearing away from

London at around eight or 9am and

1:17:201:17:24

north of that it is chilly weather

with temperatures dropping across

1:17:241:17:28

the Midlands, East Anglia and Wales,

sunshine, one or two showers,

1:17:281:17:33

showers in north-west England into

Scotland and Northern Ireland, some

1:17:331:17:36

will be heavy and wintry, especially

over high ground. The north-east

1:17:361:17:40

Scotland is a windy start on Monday

morning, 50 or 60 mph, and it will

1:17:401:17:45

be particularly windy and feeling

very cold and raw through the day.

1:17:451:17:50

It will be breezy across the country

and that wind coming from the

1:17:501:17:53

north-west as we go into the

afternoon will bring the drop in

1:17:531:17:57

temperatures in southern counties.

The rain band in the southern part

1:17:571:18:02

of England into the Channel Island,

temperatures holding into double

1:18:021:18:05

figures. Foremost in the afternoon

around seven, eight or nine at the

1:18:051:18:09

best, and then cold when showers

come your way and they will turn

1:18:091:18:13

increasingly wintry over the high

ground of northern England, Scotland

1:18:131:18:16

and Northern Ireland. This evening

it is wet in south-west of England

1:18:161:18:20

with showers dotted around the

country, though they will fade

1:18:201:18:24

across the UK tonight, confined into

northern and western coasts in

1:18:241:18:27

particular. With clear skies inland

we might see a touch of frost into

1:18:271:18:32

tomorrow morning. Because of the

breeze through the night,

1:18:321:18:36

temperatures falsely kept above

freezing. It won't feel like that in

1:18:361:18:39

the morning. It will be very cold as

you step out thanks to the wind.

1:18:391:18:43

Lovely start in fact for southern

and eastern areas with sunshine out.

1:18:431:18:47

But through the day we will see some

showers, though they will be fewer

1:18:471:18:52

than today, certainly in the west,

not as many around, but more in

1:18:521:18:56

eastern Scotland and England,

turning wintry quite readily through

1:18:561:18:59

the afternoon. And with the strong

wind, it will feel more like

1:18:591:19:05

temperatures are close to freezing

for eastern counties in the second

1:19:051:19:08

half of the day. And the chilly wind

will be with us into Wednesday.

1:19:081:19:12

Eastern areas prone to the showers

across Wednesday. Further west,

1:19:121:19:16

sunshine, only one or two showers

and with temperatures dropping

1:19:161:19:20

showers turn increasingly wintry to

lower levels in the east. And on

1:19:201:19:24

Thursday we could even see showers

across south-east England. And

1:19:241:19:28

temperatures on Thursday at best

around three or four degrees,

1:19:281:19:32

temperatures this time of year

should be around seven or 10

1:19:321:19:35

degrees. So, certainly cold weather

this week in store after what is a

1:19:351:19:41

relatively mild start.

Thank you

1:19:411:19:43

relatively mild start.

Thank you

very much. We will prepare. Good

1:19:431:19:45

morning. Let's return to one of the

main stories this morning. There are

1:19:451:19:52

fears children with special needs

have been let down by the education

1:19:521:19:55

system. An exclusive report has

found a 57% increase in students

1:19:551:20:03

taught at home. We have been told by

some that it is the only option.

1:20:031:20:08

Today we are looking at what life is

like for the most vulnerable

1:20:081:20:11

children. And in the first of our

reports, our education expert looks

1:20:111:20:17

at some of the challenges faced.

1:20:171:20:19

For more than a year Emily has been

learning at home. She has been

1:20:191:20:24

diagnosed with autism and ADHD.

School felt noisy and overwhelming.

1:20:241:20:27

A bit stressful. Because I don't

really like a lot of loud noises,

1:20:271:20:35

because it just makes me really

upset and I want to learn things

1:20:351:20:40

that I'm interested in, but it is

like I can't learn anything because

1:20:401:20:44

I don't know how to and they don't

tell me how.

Emily would get angry

1:20:441:20:50

and lash out. Now she is on

medication, at home. Her mum Lorna

1:20:501:20:56

decided to home educate after trying

three schools.

I couldn't cope with

1:20:561:21:00

her going to school and then coming

back with her. So stressed out, so

1:21:001:21:06

angry at me. And then not wanting to

go to school the next day. The

1:21:061:21:10

meltdowns were horrendous. And I

can't put her in the car and

1:21:101:21:14

physically take her to school.

Lorna

is not the only parent to reach this

1:21:141:21:19

decision. A growing number of

families with children with special

1:21:191:21:23

needs are deciding to home educate.

The fear is they are doing that

1:21:231:21:27

because they feel let down by the

school system. Between 2013 and 2017

1:21:271:21:34

there was a 57% increase in children

with special needs home educated and

1:21:341:21:40

that is just children who have a

statement or equivalent in England,

1:21:401:21:45

Wales and Northern Ireland. It is a

64% increase if you just look at

1:21:451:21:49

England. Scotland has a different

system, making comparison difficult.

1:21:491:21:53

I think before they were children

genuinely making a choice because it

1:21:531:21:57

was the right thing for them and now

there are too many families and

1:21:571:22:01

young people for whom they say they

don't feel they have any other

1:22:011:22:04

option and so they have to resort to

home education and that cannot be

1:22:041:22:08

right.

Emily is learning differently

with some extra classes. She is

1:22:081:22:13

happier at school, but she misses

her friends. In England the

1:22:131:22:17

government says more special

education places are being created

1:22:171:22:20

and it is putting money into the

system to make it work better.

1:22:201:22:28

And we are hearing so many people

getting in touch with us about

1:22:281:22:31

what's going on and some people

really finding this is the only

1:22:311:22:35

option. What more can you tell us

about the figures?

You heard the

1:22:351:22:41

experience from Emily and Lorna but

we investigated what was happening

1:22:411:22:44

to children who had already had

their needs investigated with a

1:22:441:22:49

statement and in place and when you

look at the figures it is really

1:22:491:22:52

interesting. Around 1600 across

England, Wales and Northern Ireland

1:22:521:22:58

are being home educated for a

variety of reasons. But we have

1:22:581:23:01

heard part of it is pushed out of

the system they feel. Around 1000

1:23:011:23:06

don't have a school place at all

which means that they have simply

1:23:061:23:09

not been able to find somewhere that

suits their child's needs. And the

1:23:091:23:14

average waiting time for a place now

is five months, that is an awfully

1:23:141:23:18

long time to be managing a child at

home if really you think they are

1:23:181:23:23

missing out on all the support that

they can get that makes a real

1:23:231:23:31

difference. And those figures are

just the tip of the iceberg. These

1:23:311:23:34

are children with severe, complex

needs. There are plenty more

1:23:341:23:37

families like Lorna and Emily that

are not even in these figures.

So a

1:23:371:23:41

large rise in numbers and so many

people getting in contact this

1:23:411:23:44

morning. Lots of people pointing to

funding issues. Is that what it

1:23:441:23:47

comes down to?

Some of it is about

money. If you have a child in your

1:23:471:23:53

school with a care plan and you are

a head teacher in England you have

1:23:531:23:57

to find £6,000 for that child to

meet the extra needs, which could be

1:23:571:24:00

a teaching assistant, one-on-one, to

help in class, extra support,

1:24:001:24:05

learning aids if they need it,

before you go to the local council

1:24:051:24:09

to get a top up through the central

system. That is a lot of money and

1:24:091:24:13

it creates the disincentives for

schools to have these children with

1:24:131:24:17

care plans, though they have to take

them.

And of course having a child

1:24:171:24:21

at home, trying to educate them, has

a massive impact on families,

1:24:211:24:27

parents trying to work, on the

children themselves.

As you have

1:24:271:24:31

heard this morning, a lot of

families getting in touch with us

1:24:311:24:34

have said this is not their choice.

Home education can be a positive

1:24:341:24:38

choice for some families. But a lot

of people are telling us that is not

1:24:381:24:46

what it was like for them. It has

impacted their ability to work. If

1:24:461:24:51

you work, you need to be there. Home

educated children are involved in a

1:24:511:24:56

lot of activities. Emily, who you

saw, goes to science club,

1:24:561:25:00

alternative provision for one day a

week, film club. Her mother is

1:25:001:25:04

desperately trying to find things

for her to do. And to manage it to

1:25:041:25:08

support her education. But it is

tough on families.

And, as I say, we

1:25:081:25:13

are inundated with messages. Thank

you very much. You are doing

1:25:131:25:17

Facebook live later.

We want to hear

the good, bad and ugly to see who

1:25:171:25:22

has made a difference for them. If

they have been through the system,

1:25:221:25:26

how can they help someone with a

young child? Everyone has

1:25:261:25:30

expectations of how their child

should... A child arrives. They have

1:25:301:25:34

additional needs and then suddenly

you are thrust into a world of

1:25:341:25:37

having to navigate a very

complicated system.

You can put your

1:25:371:25:41

questions later on on Facebook. Just

a couple of comments. Lou says, I

1:25:411:25:47

fought to keep my children in

mainstream school. They have a full

1:25:471:25:51

statement. They have done the entire

school career. The school used the

1:25:511:25:55

funds not for one-on-one but to fund

a class teaching assistant to help a

1:25:551:25:59

number of children who are not with

statements and since being in

1:25:591:26:03

secondary school teachers lack any

understanding of their needs.

1:26:031:26:06

Nicholas as we took our daughter out

of school, she has ASD, dyslexia and

1:26:061:26:12

selectively mute, we tried two

schools, who could not meet her

1:26:121:26:18

needs, and I feel the budget was the

heart of any decisions made not to

1:26:181:26:22

support her at school. So many have

you told us your stories, similar

1:26:221:26:26

stories, different stories as well.

Thank you very much indeed. We are

1:26:261:26:30

talking through this through the

week.

1:26:301:26:32

Later in the hour,

we will have a report

1:26:321:26:34

from Jayne McCubbin,

who has been given rare access

1:26:341:26:37

inside a special school

in Manchester, to see how

1:26:371:26:39

they are coping with increasing

demand on the system.

1:26:391:26:42

If you want to get in contact

with your stories, you can do

1:26:421:26:45

so by emailing us at

[email protected],

1:26:451:26:47

or you can tweet us using

the hashtag #BBCsend.

1:26:471:26:51

There are loads of extra videos on

our social media accounts as well.

1:26:511:30:14

That's all for now, but we'll be

back in half an hour.

1:30:141:30:17

There's more on our website

at the usual address.

1:30:171:30:20

For now, it's back

to Dan and Louise.

1:30:201:30:21

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:30:231:30:29

Here's a summary of this morning's

main stories from BBC News:

1:30:291:30:32

Authorities in Bali have warned that

a volcano on the island

1:30:321:30:35

is in imminent danger

of a full-scale eruption.

1:30:351:30:37

Mount Agung has been

sending clouds of thick ash

1:30:371:30:40

and smoke thousands of feet

into the air since Saturday.

1:30:401:30:43

The airport has been closed

and locals have been ordered

1:30:431:30:45

to leave their homes.

1:30:451:30:52

These are pictures live coming to us

from Bali of the volcano.

1:30:521:30:58

You can see the clouds above the

bowl Kane, loads of ash has been

1:30:581:31:02

coming out of mount a gun for the

last few days, since Saturday and

1:31:021:31:07

thousands of people have been

removed from the evacuation zone

1:31:071:31:12

around that volcano -- volcano.

1:31:121:31:18

High-tech industries are set

to receive millions of pounds

1:31:181:31:21

in extra funding to boost

skills and create jobs.

1:31:211:31:23

It's part of the government's

Industrial Strategy,

1:31:231:31:25

which aims to increase economic

performance post-Brexit.

1:31:251:31:30

Sectors including robotics,

artificial intelligence and medical

1:31:301:31:32

research will be targeted,

but some critics say more should be

1:31:321:31:35

done to help traditional skills.

1:31:351:31:36

Theresa May has said the government

will fund the full cost of dealing

1:31:361:31:40

with the aftermath of the suicide

bombing at the Manchester Arena,

1:31:401:31:43

which killed 22 people in May.

1:31:431:31:45

It comes after the Mayor

of Greater Manchester,

1:31:451:31:47

Andy Burnham, said the government's

initial offer was £5 million too

1:31:471:31:50

low and estimated that £28

million would be needed.

1:31:501:31:52

Councils in England generated

£819 million in profit

1:31:521:31:54

from parking fees and fines

during the last financial year,

1:31:541:31:57

that's 10% higher than

in the previous one.

1:31:571:31:59

Figures obtained by the RAC

Foundation showed four

1:31:591:32:01

of the five

councils with the largest

1:32:011:32:03

surplus were in London.

1:32:031:32:05

The Local Government Association

said income from parking went

1:32:051:32:07

towards essential transport

projects and repairs.

1:32:071:32:19

We will have all the weather with

Matt later. This might be a

1:32:191:32:24

surprise, Matt was saying it's the

mildest morning of the week, it will

1:32:241:32:28

get much colder.

Unseasonably cold.

Thursday is the beast so wrapped up

1:32:281:32:33

warm for that.

1:32:331:32:35

We also have Ashes test number two

to look forward to -- wrap up.

1:32:351:32:40

Nobody expected England to win the

first one.

Exactly. Shall we get

1:32:401:32:46

through it?

I need to talk to you

about head butts later as well.

I

1:32:461:32:50

have some information on the head

butt later as well.

1:32:501:32:58

England lost the first

Test in Brisbane.

1:32:581:33:00

Australia got the runs they needed

easily without losing a wicket.

1:33:001:33:03

So despite some promising moments

along the way they were comfortably

1:33:031:33:06

beaten in the end.

1:33:061:33:10

They go 1-0 down in

the five match series.

1:33:101:33:14

David Warner and Cameron Bancroft

both made half centuries

1:33:141:33:16

as they reached 173

without losing a wicket.

1:33:161:33:18

I think the most important thing

is we stay strong and tight

1:33:181:33:22

as a group of players and as a squad

and we continue to keep doing

1:33:221:33:26

the hard work we have done

throughout the whole trip.

1:33:261:33:28

For three days we played

some excellent cricket.

1:33:281:33:31

Unfortunately when we got into good

positions we didn't quite capitalise

1:33:311:33:34

on that and if we'd done

that we would have seen a very

1:33:341:33:37

different scoreboard

sat here right now.

1:33:371:33:39

I think this team has the potential

to do some really good things

1:33:391:33:42

and we'll have to continue to play

really good cricket.

1:33:421:33:45

Adelaide wicket might bring some

of their bowlers into the game

1:33:451:33:48

a little bit but having said that,

it's probably one of the quickest

1:33:481:33:52

wickets in the country.

1:33:521:33:53

Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss

is in Brisbane for us.

1:33:531:33:55

Good morning, Andy.

1:33:551:33:56

We were expecting the defeat

going into the fifth day but another

1:33:561:34:00

story has emerged

involving Jonny Bairstow.

1:34:001:34:02

What's behind that?

1:34:021:34:09

Yes, Sally, as you say the big

talking point today wasn't really

1:34:091:34:12

the cricket but the details that

emerged of this incident in a bar in

1:34:121:34:16

Perth four weeks ago involving Jonny

Bairstow and also the Australian

1:34:161:34:23

batsman Cameron Bancroft, who scored

the winning runs in today's and at.

1:34:231:34:28

Both players had their say today,

both players agreed there was no

1:34:281:34:33

malice in what happened, but Cameron

Bancroft said that what Jonny

1:34:331:34:38

Bairstow had done was unusual,

particularly his way of saying

1:34:381:34:42

hello.

1:34:421:34:48

Just greeted me with a head-butt. I

was expecting a handshake but wasn't

1:34:481:34:53

the greeting of choice I was

expecting. That was the way that I

1:34:531:34:57

took it. There was certainly no

malice in his action and we

1:34:571:35:02

continued on having very good

conversations.

1:35:021:35:05

We were just in the bar having

a good laugh and a good evening out.

1:35:051:35:09

It was very enjoyable.

1:35:091:35:10

Cameron and I enjoyed the evening

and continue to do so.

1:35:101:35:13

No intent or malice about anything

during the evening.

1:35:131:35:28

The England Cricket board said there

will be no action against Jonny

1:35:281:35:32

Bairstow but this is the last thing

they need particularly given the

1:35:321:35:35

ongoing controversy around Ben

Stokes, who isn't here, and it

1:35:351:35:39

raises more questions about the

behaviour of the England players and

1:35:391:35:43

it distracts from their issues on

the field and they've got plenty of

1:35:431:35:46

those because although they were

competitive for the first three days

1:35:461:35:49

they were really blown away

yesterday, a ten wicket victory is

1:35:491:35:54

pretty emphatic.

England have lots

of things to look at, not least

1:35:541:35:58

getting their batsmen to transfer

good starts into big score is

1:35:581:36:04

because Steve Smith's 141 not out,

the Australian captain, that was the

1:36:041:36:08

difference between the two sides and

they don't have long to think about

1:36:081:36:11

it because the next test starts in

Adelaide on Saturday.

Andy, lovely

1:36:111:36:15

to talk to you and see you. Talk to

you shortly. Andy Swiss in Brisbane.

1:36:151:36:21

In terms press conferences, the

cricket press conferences over the

1:36:211:36:25

last 24 hours have been so funny.

The transcript is brilliant.

It is

1:36:251:36:30

here on my phone, this is Cameron

Bancroft, he was asked, when we

1:36:301:36:34

imagine a head-butt, we imagine,

another journalist motions a

1:36:341:36:39

head-butt, knocking someone over and

he said, he didn't knock me over,

1:36:391:36:43

I've got the heaviest head in the

Western Australia squad, it's been

1:36:431:36:47

measured, there's an actual

measurement, so I took the blow well

1:36:471:36:50

and I moved on. It was a good hit,

let's move on.

He said there was no

1:36:501:36:56

malice, it's hard to imagine a

head-butt without... You don't

1:36:561:37:00

playfully head-butt.

Head-butt as a

greeting perhaps? That's what

1:37:001:37:05

dinosaurs used to do and it didn't

go well for them! Let's move the

1:37:051:37:09

football.

1:37:091:37:10

Manchester City manager

Pep Guardiola has prasied his

1:37:101:37:12

players as they came from behind

against Huddersfield to continue

1:37:121:37:15

thier their unbeaten run at the top

of the Premier League.

1:37:151:37:18

Raheem Sterling was the match winner

for City with just six

1:37:181:37:21

minutes left in the game.

1:37:211:37:22

Their lead at the top of the table

now eight points over rivals

1:37:221:37:26

Manchester United.

1:37:261:37:27

Impossible to win every game easy

because the Premier League

1:37:271:37:29

is so tough.

1:37:291:37:40

Today may be one of the best

examples how much of

1:37:401:37:43

a Premier League game

it was today.

1:37:431:37:45

The guys competed amazingly

so that's why we won

1:37:451:37:47

and we're still there.

1:37:471:37:48

Everton are two points off

the Premier League relegation zone

1:37:481:37:51

after suffering another heavy defeat

under caretaker manager

1:37:511:37:53

David Unsworth, they lost 4-1

to Southampton yesterday.

1:37:531:37:56

Charlie Austin scored two

second-half headers before

1:37:561:37:57

Steven Davis beat Jordan Pickford

from the edge of the box to wrap

1:37:571:38:01

up the victory.

1:38:011:38:02

Everton have won just once in seven

games under Unsworth.

1:38:021:38:05

It's killing me.

1:38:051:38:05

It's really tough.

1:38:051:38:06

But the situation's been tough

for a while so I have to take

1:38:061:38:10

responsibility and I will,

I'll stand here and take

1:38:101:38:12

responsibility as manager,

but we've all got to

1:38:121:38:14

take our responsibility as well.

1:38:141:38:16

It's tough at the moment,

we're in a tough place.

1:38:161:38:19

Things have to change quickly.

1:38:191:38:26

Arsenal move up to fourth

in the table after a controversial

1:38:261:38:29

injury-time penalty

against Burnley at Turf Moor.

1:38:291:38:30

Alexis Sanchez scored the goal

that moves them ahead

1:38:301:38:33

of North London rivals Tottenham.

1:38:331:38:41

Celtic have won their fourth

domestic trophy in a row

1:38:411:38:44

as they retained the Scottish League

Cup this afternoon beating

1:38:441:38:46

Motherwell 2-1.

1:38:461:38:47

James Forrest scored the first

for Celtic just after the break

1:38:471:38:50

and they doubled their lead

with a controversial penalty that

1:38:501:38:53

saw Motherwell defender

Cedric Kipre sent off.

1:38:531:38:55

Celtic go 65 domestic

games now without defeat.

1:38:551:39:00

Hibernian completed the cup double

for the second year running

1:39:001:39:03

with a 3-0 victory over Glasgow City

in the Women's Scottish Cup final.

1:39:031:39:16

Valtteri Bottas took the honours

ahead of Mercedes team-mate

1:39:161:39:19

Lewis Hamilton in the final race

1:39:191:39:20

of the Formula 1 season in Abu

Dhabi.

1:39:201:39:23

The Finn completed

the hat-trick of pole position,

1:39:231:39:25

fastest lap and race win

as he claimed his third victory

1:39:251:39:28

of the year.

1:39:281:39:29

Sebastian Vettel finished third

which was enough to secure

1:39:291:39:31

the German the runners up spot

in the drivers' Championship,

1:39:311:39:34

which Hamilton had already won.

1:39:341:39:41

Interesting, isn't it, in that race

we know what happened, we know

1:39:411:39:46

Hamilton has done it and it's a

little bit of an anti-climax. There

1:39:461:39:51

you go, they still sprayed champagne

and enjoyed it.

People over the

1:39:511:39:55

weekend were wondering about Pep's

yellow ribbon, it's about imprisoned

1:39:551:40:03

Catalan officials. Yellow ribbons

are traditionally about supporting

1:40:031:40:06

troops but he has gone for it for

that reason. Shall we have a look at

1:40:061:40:12

some of the front pages?

Or shall we

talk about dad-dancing? Dad-dancing.

1:40:121:40:18

We often talk about endangered

species and this is one that hasn't

1:40:181:40:21

yet been filmed by Attenborough, the

dancing British male. A survey for

1:40:211:40:26

BBC Radio 5 Live has found three

quarters of men either never dance

1:40:261:40:30

at all or do so rarely and most of

that is down to embarrassment.

I

1:40:301:40:34

think that's a great shame!

In a bid

to reverse the worrying trend we dug

1:40:341:40:40

through the archives and found some

blokes who still like to Pepboogy,

1:40:401:40:43

and if teammates -- boogy -- if

teenagers are watching then maybe

1:40:431:40:50

your dad is in this video and you

might find it disturbing!

1:40:501:40:54

Do I dance?

No. There you go. I've

got to a certain age and I'm allowed

1:41:061:41:11

to dad dance and I make the most of

it at every opportunity.

Can be a

1:41:111:41:16

bit embarrassing at times but it's

all good fun.

1:41:161:41:22

I wouldn't be a dad

if I wasn't dancing.

1:41:231:41:26

I see a lot of people doing it.

1:41:261:41:28

I like it.

1:41:281:41:28

Been known to move in

a dancing sort of fashion.

1:41:281:41:31

Very pretty.

1:41:311:41:32

What do you think?

1:41:321:41:33

Bad.

1:41:331:41:33

I'm sexy and I know it.

1:41:331:41:40

I just think it's all great.

1:41:481:41:52

You like to throw a few shapes?

I'm

not saying I'm good at dancing but I

1:41:521:41:57

like it.

Enjoyment is the key. We've

been asking to see your videos.

1:41:571:42:03

Thank you, Tracy from North

Yorkshire has sent this classic.

1:42:031:42:06

This is her her and her husband

dancing to Michael Jackson's

1:42:061:42:12

Thriller. In the PJs as well.

Absolutely brilliant!

Good job!

I

1:42:121:42:22

was talking to you about the power

of the kitchen disco.

Some friends

1:42:221:42:26

of mine do Monday night disco in the

kitchen. It just cheers you up,

1:42:261:42:31

doesn't it?

A pyjama zombie is going

to put a smile on anyone's face.

1:42:311:42:37

Thanks for sending that in, we would

love to see more videos. Send us

1:42:371:42:46

those videos on Twitter or by

e-mail. I think dad-dancing is

1:42:461:42:51

fantastic.

Just dancing generally is

the way to go.

You don't need to be

1:42:511:42:56

good at it!

High-tech industries from

1:42:561:43:00

pharmaceuticals to robotics to

engineering are to receive a boost

1:43:001:43:04

in funding and training. The

government believes the sector will

1:43:041:43:06

provide the best chance to improve

economic performance post-Brexit.

1:43:061:43:12

Sean is at a factory that makes

production lines for other

1:43:121:43:16

factories. Good morning.

That's effectively what they do.

1:43:161:43:21

These guys will be working on

machinery here that other businesses

1:43:211:43:25

will look to use and implement on

their floor. These huge chunks of

1:43:251:43:30

metal which have been very finely

designed have been printed by a 3D

1:43:301:43:36

printer, which started with an alloy

powder in it, the next thing you

1:43:361:43:41

know there's a huge hunk of it very

intricately designed so it can go in

1:43:411:43:46

aeroplanes and cars around the

world, there is an example of a 3D

1:43:461:43:51

printer with some plastic in the

middle of it. This is part of the

1:43:511:43:55

industrial strategy the government

wants to see implemented so we have

1:43:551:43:58

much more of this in many different

sectors bringing together skills,

1:43:581:44:03

people, investment in business

around the country and the key part

1:44:031:44:06

of people is apprentices and we can

talk to a couple now. This is

1:44:061:44:10

Ritchie and Gemma. Ritchie, you're

coming to the end of your

1:44:101:44:14

apprenticeship at the Manufacturing

technology centre, what got you into

1:44:141:44:18

this kind of thing?

I was finishing

my A-levels and I came across the

1:44:181:44:24

company. I didn't know state of the

places like this existed around here

1:44:241:44:30

and I met with the manager and he

told me about the apprenticeship and

1:44:301:44:35

I applied straightaway really. I was

either going to go to university and

1:44:351:44:39

do engineering or do an

apprenticeship and I thought this

1:44:391:44:42

would be the best route.

Gemma, when

you were looking at what you might

1:44:421:44:47

do next, what was the deciding

factor between university or a

1:44:471:44:51

college or hear?

The key factor was

the debt really. You can do your HNC

1:44:511:44:58

and then your HND and a degree if

you want to, but you don't get into

1:44:581:45:06

any debt, which is big for people of

a younger generation.

You still come

1:45:061:45:10

out with skills that you feel you

can use?

Yeah, it's more hands-on

1:45:101:45:15

compare to uni, it is more theory

side and a lot of people do learn

1:45:151:45:21

better with more hands-on

experience, especially in a workshop

1:45:211:45:24

and a working environment, you get a

feel for how it is.

1:45:241:45:32

Do you feel you are working with the

latest technology and it is

1:45:321:45:36

something we all have to get

1:45:361:45:37

latest technology and it is

something we all have to get used

1:45:371:45:38

to?

Absolutely, we have things not

even in the industry yet so we are

1:45:381:45:42

at the forefront of manufacturing

and it is exciting to work with

1:45:421:45:45

these kind of things before they are

even out.

Yes. This is what we will

1:45:451:45:50

look at. There is a pineapple behind

you. I don't know why. Can this all

1:45:501:45:55

be executed, Nick Davies, from the

institute for government? You look

1:45:551:45:59

at how government functions. They

have Brexit to sort out. Are you

1:45:591:46:04

convinced a big industrial strategy

to get investment in can be

1:46:041:46:09

executed?

I think it will be very

difficult. Implementing Brexit is

1:46:091:46:14

probably the biggest peacetime

challenge the civil service has

1:46:141:46:18

faced. Department is already

extremely stretched. It is a very

1:46:181:46:22

good question about how what is

hopefully going to be an ambitious

1:46:221:46:25

industrial strategy is going to be

implemented and the other Brexit

1:46:251:46:30

issue is an effective industrial

strategy should be taking a view on

1:46:301:46:34

the opportunities of what a pose

Brexit world will look like that is

1:46:341:46:38

difficult to know before we know

what the final trading relationship

1:46:381:46:42

is going to be -- post Brexit.

Thank

you. I am not sure what this chap is

1:46:421:46:46

up to. It is the height of

technology, I am sure, you can see.

1:46:461:46:50

He is cleaning something at the

moment. We will have a look later

1:46:501:46:55

this morning, much more high-tech

than this. There is plenty going on

1:46:551:46:59

around here. There are some little

helper robots, which I am keen to

1:46:591:47:04

learn from later on, and I know Dan

will be particularly excited about

1:47:041:47:08

that.

I genuinely cannot wait. Thank

you.

It went so well last time,

1:47:081:47:13

didn't it?

Yes, I think he might be.

If you are a regular, you might

1:47:131:47:19

remember last week. There was an

issue with a robot.

Yes, it didn't

1:47:191:47:24

work. This time it will, hopefully.

Matt has a look at the weather and

1:47:241:47:29

it is raining in London?

Certainly

it is, good morning. A wet start to

1:47:291:47:34

Monday morning across southern

counties of England, but it is

1:47:341:47:38

comparatively mild, 11 in Brighton,

for degrees in Aberdeen. But

1:47:381:47:44

wherever you are, temperatures this

week are on the

1:47:441:47:46

wherever you are, temperatures this

week are on the slide. Let's have

1:47:461:47:47

look at the forecast. The week will

be typified by the word cold, below

1:47:471:47:52

where temperature should be this

time of year. Sunshine and showers

1:47:521:47:55

for much of the week, today is

wettest of all widely, wettest

1:47:551:47:59

across southern counties of England

with a cold front introducing cold

1:47:591:48:03

air to the UK through much of the

day and that means we have outbreaks

1:48:031:48:07

of rain through the west of the --

rest of the rush-hour into

1:48:071:48:11

southernmost counties of England. It

is brightening up in Wales, the

1:48:111:48:15

Midlands and northwards of that.

Showers to go with it, the odd heavy

1:48:151:48:19

one, and over the hills of northern

Scotland, some sleet and snow too. A

1:48:191:48:26

chilly start here. Temperatures

higher than the rest of the week at

1:48:261:48:29

this time of the morning. Strong

winds in the north-east of Scotland,

1:48:291:48:34

50- 60 mph gusts, it will be raw

feeling, with showers turning

1:48:341:48:41

increasingly wintry. Elsewhere,

sunshine and showers foremost into

1:48:411:48:45

the afternoon with one or two

showers through the afternoon.

1:48:451:48:48

Sunshine in between, the best of

which is in eastern areas, the

1:48:481:48:52

wettest in the Channel Islands with

the cold front here to finish the

1:48:521:48:56

day. In the afternoon double figures

in the Channel Islands. The rest of

1:48:561:49:00

us, though, the highest, this

morning, dropping into single

1:49:001:49:04

figures. That will take us into a

cold night. Into the far south-west,

1:49:041:49:09

we will see heavy rain for a time

before that clears. Then overnight

1:49:091:49:14

showers across northern and western

areas mainly into coastal counties.

1:49:141:49:19

Inland it will be dry, clear and

chilly. A touch and frost -- a touch

1:49:191:49:24

of frost here and there. Most places

starting just above freezing. Don't

1:49:241:49:28

be fooled. It will be colder than

that with the cold wind. It will be

1:49:281:49:33

a bright start UK wide. Showers for

northern and western areas

1:49:331:49:38

initially. Tomorrow, fewer showers

around

1:49:381:49:40

initially. Tomorrow, fewer showers

around, unless you are in some parts

1:49:401:49:44

of England. It could be heavy with

hail and thunder and sleet and snow

1:49:441:49:48

mixed in. And we have wind strongest

tomorrow, touching gale force at

1:49:481:49:53

times, making it feel particularly

raw, temperatures much closer to

1:49:531:49:57

freezing with the wind factored in.

But for many of you it will be dry

1:49:571:50:01

and sunny in south-west Scotland,

the Midlands, southern England, the

1:50:011:50:05

same on Wednesday, these are the

brightest areas with showers

1:50:051:50:09

frequently eastern England. Into

Wednesday, we still have the cold

1:50:091:50:13

wind which will add to the chill

through the day and, if anything,

1:50:131:50:16

temperatures drop on Thursday. UK

wide, highs of three or four

1:50:161:50:24

degrees, adding the windchill it

will be colder than that and to put

1:50:241:50:27

it into perspective at this time of

year we are usually looking at

1:50:271:50:31

temperatures ranging from seven or

eight in Aberdeen to around ten in

1:50:311:50:34

London. So, yes, it is a cold week

in store.

Thank you very much

1:50:341:50:38

indeed. We will be prepared with

hats, coats, gloves and everything

1:50:381:50:42

else.

Thank you. We were not

ignoring Matt.

We were distracted by

1:50:421:50:48

our next guest.

1:50:481:50:51

If your child has a book

on their Christmas wish list this

1:50:511:50:54

year, it could very well have been

written by our next guest.

1:50:541:50:58

It's a decade since, David Walliams,

published his first children's novel

1:50:581:51:01

and in that time he's sold millions

of copies world-wide.

1:51:011:51:03

From gangsta grannies to demon

dentists, he's already introduced us

1:51:031:51:06

to an eclectic mix of characters.

1:51:061:51:08

And David joins us now to tell us

about his newest additions,

1:51:081:51:11

Bad Dad and Boogie Bear.

1:51:111:51:12

You have to make more books out, Bad

Dad and Boogie Bear.

Bad Dad is for

1:51:121:51:19

the children, and a picture book

with Tony Watt, that is called

1:51:191:51:23

Boogie Bear, children who are three

or four.

Ten years ago, when you

1:51:231:51:27

started writing...

Even more.

That

is correct. If someone came to you

1:51:271:51:33

and said in a decade you will have

the top five kids

1:51:331:51:37

and said in a decade you will have

the top five kids books in the

1:51:371:51:38

country, they will be yours, people

will be reading your books in huge

1:51:381:51:41

volumes and writing will basically

take over your career, would you

1:51:411:51:45

have believed anybody?

I thought I

was going to have more success, to

1:51:451:51:50

be honest with you.

LAUGHTER

1:51:501:51:52

no, everything takes me by surprise

and I pinch myself every day how

1:51:521:51:56

lucky I am.

It felt like some kind of offshoot

1:51:561:51:59

from Little Britain and then I wrote

this book called Boy in a Dress,

1:51:591:52:08

which we explored in the show, and

it was a modest success, not an

1:52:081:52:13

immediate success, not like Gangsta

Granny, then I had an audience of

1:52:131:52:20

kids who were not interested in me

as a TV personality but as an

1:52:201:52:24

author.

And some of these children

are starting to read because of your

1:52:241:52:27

books.

I just want to make the books

entertaining. I know how important

1:52:271:52:31

it is to get children reading. It is

so important. If they read great

1:52:311:52:36

literature, fantastic. It is

important that they read something.

1:52:361:52:39

If you don't read as a child, you

generally don't read as an adult.

1:52:391:52:43

And you meet many adults who don't

read books and think they are

1:52:431:52:48

boring.

Lots of children who read

your books might be watching now and

1:52:481:52:52

you will come to chat later on.

Yes,

if you want, I can stay and not go

1:52:521:52:57

away, have a little kip while you

carry on the show.

Can you do the

1:52:571:53:01

sport?

I know nothing about sport.

If you have to go to school and you

1:53:011:53:05

have a question, send it through and

watch the answers later on on

1:53:051:53:09

iPlayer.

That was clever.

Interesting, Boy in a Dress seems a

1:53:091:53:16

head of its time.

A lot has happened

in ten years.

Hasn't it?

The issues

1:53:161:53:22

coming back. And you have been

dealing with it on this show. Yes,

1:53:221:53:27

it was interestingly prophetic in a

way. And actually there was quite a

1:53:271:53:33

lot of resistance at the time to the

theme of the book was on people who

1:53:331:53:37

felt it was, I don't know, too

difficult for children's book. Now

1:53:371:53:42

it is a much bigger thing and it is

in most schools in the country,

1:53:421:53:46

there is someone dealing with the

issue of that sort.

Have you -- as

1:53:461:53:54

you say you know nothing about

sport...

Yes, well, there you go. I

1:53:541:53:58

hope you would ensure that!

And on

TV this Christmas you've got

1:53:581:54:06

Ratburgers on Sky.

And Grampa's

Great Escape with Sheridan Saunders.

1:54:061:54:12

And Sheridan Smith. In Ratburgers.

Tell us a little bit about the Bad

1:54:121:54:18

Dad story.

That is about a boy who

finds out his father is a getaway

1:54:181:54:22

driver for a bank robbery. He has to

get his father out of prison for one

1:54:221:54:28

night to put the money back into the

bank that was stolen. So it is a

1:54:281:54:32

story about good and bad and making

the right choices in life.

There is

1:54:321:54:36

often a moral theme running through

things in the book. Yes.

1:54:361:54:39

Deliberately so.

It is important to

have something to say if you are

1:54:391:54:44

going to take kids on a journey.

Some kids may take weeks or months

1:54:441:54:48

to read it. At the end of it I hope

there is something to take away from

1:54:481:54:52

it. This is about trying to make the

right choices in life.

One of my

1:54:521:54:56

favourite characters is Gangsta

Granny.

Thank you.

It was based on

1:54:561:55:02

you. Thanks, not yet.

I am joking.

That is the most successful book and

1:55:021:55:08

it is the one that really took off.

I don't know if it was the title or

1:55:081:55:13

the story or whatever it was. It has

been a fantastic success and it

1:55:131:55:17

carries on. And I think that story

had for the first time, I think I

1:55:171:55:22

had all of the elements are needed,

it was an adventure story with

1:55:221:55:25

humour, sadness and I think for some

reason it just took off.

Luiz you a

1:55:251:55:32

lovely compliment and you just

screwed it up and shoved it back

1:55:321:55:36

into her face. -- Louise. I am

sorry, I am just trying to be funny,

1:55:361:55:42

jeez! We might have to change the

running order.

Fine by me. I've got

1:55:421:55:48

a busy day!

It is really lovely to

see you. Bad Dad is the book and you

1:55:481:55:56

will be back in about one hour's

time. We would love to talk about

1:55:561:56:00

Roald Dahl, your hero. Yes, let's

slap the sofa. Yes, don't touch the

1:56:001:59:23

That's all for now, but we'll be

back in half an hour.

1:59:231:59:26

There's more on our website

at the usual address.

1:59:261:59:28

Bye-bye.

1:59:281:59:29

Hello this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:59:501:59:52

Eruption imminent -

Bali's airport is closed leaving

1:59:521:59:57

thousands of tourists stranded,

as Mount Agung becomes

1:59:571:59:58

increasingly volatile,

with lava bubbling close

1:59:582:00:00

to the surface.

2:00:002:00:02

The area near the volcano is now

on the highest state of alert,

2:00:022:00:05

hundreds of thousands of people have

been moved into shelters.

2:00:052:00:11

Good morning it's Monday

the 27th of November.

2:00:232:00:30

Also this morning:

2:00:302:00:37

The five people killed when a stolen

car smashed into a tree

2:00:372:00:40

in Leeds are named -

three are children,

2:00:402:00:42

including two brothers.

2:00:422:00:43

Desperate measures -

fears that children with special

2:00:432:00:45

needs are being failed by the system

as a Breakfast investigation reveals

2:00:452:00:48

that increasing numbers of parents

are home educating.

2:00:482:00:52

good morning. The government

announces its big plans for our

2:00:522:00:56

economy today. I'm at this high tech

research Centre in Coventry to see

2:00:562:01:00

if plans for investment in the UK as

part of the industrial strategy will

2:01:002:01:04

work out.

2:01:042:01:06

In sport - England lose

the first Ashes Test,

2:01:062:01:08

Australia get the runs they needed

to win easily by ten

2:01:082:01:10

wickets in Brisbane.

2:01:102:01:16

I can use you.

Use me?

Yeah, use

you.

2:01:162:01:23

From comedian to one

of the country's best

2:01:232:01:24

loved children's authors,

David Walliams will be here to share

2:01:242:01:27

the secrets behind his success.

2:01:272:01:28

And Matt has the weather.

2:01:282:01:33

Good morning. Quite a wet and windy

start of the week. The view but it

2:01:332:01:37

is actually the milder start to the

morning this week. Cold weather set

2:01:372:01:41

to dominate. A full forecast is

coming up in 15 minutes. Thank you.

2:01:412:01:50

Good morning.

2:01:502:01:51

First, our main story.

2:01:512:01:52

Authorities in Bali have warned that

a volcano on the island

2:01:522:01:55

is in imminent danger

of a full-scale eruption.

2:01:552:01:56

Mount Agung has been

sending clouds of thick ash

2:01:562:01:59

and smoke thousands of feet

into the air since Saturday.

2:01:592:02:01

The airport has been closed

and locals have been ordered

2:02:012:02:03

to leave their homes.

2:02:032:02:04

Andrew Plant has the latest.

2:02:042:02:07

Bali's most sacred mountain,

an ancient volcano rumbling back

2:02:072:02:11

to life with billows of black smoke.

2:02:112:02:15

Mount Agung has been sleeping

for more than half a century,

2:02:152:02:18

now awake and angry.

2:02:182:02:20

Experts believe a major eruption

could be about to happen.

2:02:202:02:26

TRANSLATION:

The volcano has entered

the magmatic eruption phase.

2:02:262:02:29

There is now the possibility

of a strong explosive eruption.

2:02:292:02:35

Those living nearby

were evacuated in September

2:02:362:02:37

at the first signs of activity.

2:02:372:02:41

Now the exclusion zone

is a circle 12 miles wide.

2:02:412:02:45

The thick ash rising thousands

of metres means many flights

2:02:452:02:52

to and from this popular tourist

destination have now been grounded.

2:02:522:02:56

All the flights were cancelled

so we're just now at the airport,

2:02:562:02:59

we don't know what we're doing

and we are trying to

2:02:592:03:02

find another flight.

2:03:022:03:03

In Bali, no one is

taking any chances.

2:03:032:03:09

More than 150,000 people

are in temporary shelters.

2:03:092:03:10

When the volcano last

erupted in 1963, more

2:03:102:03:15

than 1,000 people were killed.

2:03:152:03:16

This time the Indonesian government

says it is much better prepared.

2:03:162:03:19

Andrew Plant, BBC News.

2:03:192:03:24

There are fears children

with special needs are being let

2:03:252:03:27

down by the education system.

2:03:272:03:32

An exclusive investigation for BBC

Breakfast has found a 57% increase

2:03:322:03:34

in the number of children

being educated at home.

2:03:342:03:37

We have been told that some families

believe this is their only option.

2:03:372:03:41

Today, we launch a week long series

looking at what life is like for our

2:03:412:03:45

most vulnerable children.

2:03:452:03:46

In the first of our special reports,

our Education Editor Branwen

2:03:462:03:49

Jeffreys looks at the challenges

faced by some of

2:03:492:03:51

these young people.

2:03:512:03:53

For more than a year,

Emily has been learning at home.

2:03:542:03:57

She's been diagnosed

with autism and ADHD.

2:03:572:04:00

School felt noisy and overwhelming.

2:04:002:04:04

A bit stressful because I don't

really like, like, a lot of loud

2:04:042:04:09

noises because it just makes me

really upset and I want to learn

2:04:092:04:15

things that I'm interested in, but,

it's like I can't learn anything

2:04:152:04:18

because I don't know how

to and they don't tell me how.

2:04:182:04:23

Emily would get angry and lash out.

2:04:232:04:26

Now she is on medication at home.

2:04:262:04:30

Her mum, Lorna, decided to home

educate after trying three schools.

2:04:302:04:36

I couldn't cope with her going

to school and then coming back

2:04:362:04:39

with her so stressed out,

so angry at me and then not wanting

2:04:392:04:42

to go to school the next day.

2:04:422:04:45

The meltdowns were horrendous

and I can't pick her up

2:04:452:04:48

and put her in the car

and physically take her to school.

2:04:482:04:51

Lorna isn't the only parent

to reach this decision.

2:04:512:04:56

A growing number of families

with children with special needs

2:04:562:04:59

are deciding to home educate.

2:04:592:05:01

The fear is they're doing that

because they feel let down

2:05:012:05:04

by the school system.

2:05:042:05:10

Between 2013 and 2017,

there was a 57% increase in children

2:05:102:05:13

with special needs being home

educated, and that's just children

2:05:132:05:15

who have a statement

or equivalent in England,

2:05:152:05:17

Wales or Northern Ireland.

2:05:172:05:20

It's a 64% increase

if you just look at England.

2:05:202:05:25

Scotland has a different system,

making comparisons difficult.

2:05:252:05:29

I think before there was people

genuinely making a choice

2:05:292:05:31

because that was the right thing

for them and now there are too many

2:05:312:05:34

families who are saying they don't

feel like they have either option

2:05:342:05:38

so they're having to resort to home

education, that can't be right.

2:05:382:05:43

Emily is learning differently

with some extra classes.

2:05:432:05:46

She's happier out of schools

but misses her friends.

2:05:462:05:53

In England, the Government says more

special education places

2:05:532:05:55

are being created and its putting

money into the system

2:05:552:05:57

to make it work better.

2:05:572:05:58

Branwen Jeffreys, BBC News.

2:05:582:06:05

More on that throughout the morning

for you.

2:06:052:06:07

The families of five people -

including three children -

2:06:072:06:10

who died when a stolen car crashed

into a tree in Leeds have paid

2:06:102:06:13

tribute to their relatives.

2:06:132:06:14

A vigil was held in memory

of the victims last night.

2:06:142:06:17

Police are still investigating

the cause of the collision.

2:06:172:06:19

Our reporter Phil

Bodmer is in Leeds.

2:06:192:06:20

Police are still investigating the

cause of the collision. They are

2:06:202:06:23

still trying to find out what

happened, aren't they?

What happened

2:06:232:06:30

here at ten o'clock on Saturday

night is still unclear at this

2:06:302:06:33

stage. As daylight dorms this

morning, you can feed a growing

2:06:332:06:38

number of floral tributes to the

victims of this awful incident on

2:06:382:06:42

Saturday evening, and indeed people

have been coming down, looking at

2:06:422:06:46

the surrounding area of where this

crash happened. About three miles

2:06:462:06:50

north of the city centre. Five

people last their lives after the

2:06:502:06:56

stolen Renault Clio collided with

the trees just beyond us, you can

2:06:562:06:59

see where the trunk was scarred. The

victims have been named named as

2:06:592:07:05

15-year-old Elias and Elliott,

alongside a 15-year-old and

2:07:052:07:10

24-year-old. Father of two, Anthony,

was also killed. Police are

2:07:102:07:15

appealing for anybody who was in the

area on Saturday night or may have

2:07:152:07:19

information leading up to the

circumstances about what happened

2:07:192:07:22

here to get in touch with them.

Meanwhile, two 15-year-old boys

2:07:222:07:27

remain in custody, held on suspicion

of causing death by dangerous

2:07:272:07:30

driving.

OK, thank you. Theresa May

says the government will fund the

2:07:302:07:37

full cost of paying for the fallout

of the Manchester bombing.

2:07:372:07:47

It comes after the Mayor

of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham,

2:07:472:07:49

said the government's initial offer

was five million pounds too

2:07:492:07:52

low and estimated that

£28 million would be needed.

2:07:522:07:54

We have been talking about millions

of pounds which is going to be spent

2:07:542:07:57

on high-tech industries to boost

skills and create jobs.

2:07:572:08:02

It's part of the government's

Industrial Strategy,

2:08:022:08:04

which aims to increase

economic performance post-Brexit.

2:08:042:08:07

Sean is in Coventry

for us this morning.

2:08:072:08:12

Good morning.

Good morning. It is a

pretty good example of what the

2:08:122:08:20

government would like to see

replicated right across the country.

2:08:202:08:24

The manufacturing technology Centre

here, they have innovation here that

2:08:242:08:27

will have come from universities,

working with businesses who are on

2:08:272:08:32

this floor. They will be trying out

a lot of this machinery. Trying to

2:08:322:08:36

get that investment into their

companies to try and grow their own

2:08:362:08:39

business and the sectors they are

in. There are five key areas in this

2:08:392:08:43

industrial strategy, the White Paper

has looked at. First of all his

2:08:432:08:48

ideas. They want people to have

those ideas. The businesses and the

2:08:482:08:52

universities to talk a bit more and

get them out there. Ideas is a key

2:08:522:08:57

starting point. After that, people,

investment in skills, training,

2:08:572:09:02

making sure businesses have the

people they need to carry out all

2:09:022:09:05

the ideas that they've got. Also the

fact that people need to be doing

2:09:052:09:09

different jobs, if so many of these

robotics will be taking over, a lot

2:09:092:09:13

of the roles people are doing at the

moment. After that, ideas... You

2:09:132:09:18

have people, you've got a bit of

infrastructure as well.

2:09:182:09:22

Infrastructure is obviously

important. People are going to get

2:09:222:09:24

around the country to these jobs per

at the same time, businesses need to

2:09:242:09:27

be able to communicate with each

other. If you are in a rural area

2:09:272:09:31

you might need a bit of investment

in your floral broadband. Business

2:09:312:09:36

environment, access to finance, all

that kind of stuff is needed.

2:09:362:09:39

Government policy, as well. Once

government has had these ideas they

2:09:392:09:42

need to make sure -- need to know

what they'd need to put in place.

2:09:422:09:47

Here in Coventry today, West

Midlands is one area, but Northwest,

2:09:472:09:51

the Northeast, Scotland, Wales, all

of these areas outside of London

2:09:512:09:54

particularly will be very crucial to

this industrial strategy. Businesses

2:09:542:09:58

are little concerned May be Brexit

will prove too much of a

2:09:582:10:02

distraction. We've heard a lot of

this thing before, infrastructure

2:10:022:10:05

commissions on all that kind of

thing. Will the government actually

2:10:052:10:08

stick to the plans they have now?

Thank you very much, see you in

2:10:082:10:12

about half an hour. Scotland Yard

says 29 people have been charged

2:10:122:10:19

after an investigation into the

misuse of electronic tags. Employees

2:10:192:10:24

are accused of taking money so that

tags can be fitted loosely and thus

2:10:242:10:31

removed easily.

2:10:312:10:35

We are going to show you a very

large gingerbread house. It is

2:10:352:10:40

life-size, two stories, standing in

the lobby of a Hotel in San

2:10:402:10:44

Francisco in the United States. It

took 375 hours to assemble, nearly

2:10:442:10:48

eight metres high and 11 metres

wide.

2:10:482:10:52

It was 10,000 pieces of gingerbread,

over time of icing. I checked

2:10:522:10:57

earlier, somebody apparently says

you can eat it after a month.

2:10:572:11:01

Gingerbread is fine. One thing you

definitely can eat, mince pies!

2:11:012:11:06

Talking about mince pies in a

moment. It is 8:10am.

2:11:062:11:10

For many of us, Christmas is a time

to show our friends and loved

2:11:102:11:14

ones how much we care,

but what about the thousands

2:11:142:11:16

of people spending the festive

period alone?

2:11:162:11:18

Well, simply sharing a mince

pie with a neighbour

2:11:182:11:20

could make all the difference.

2:11:202:11:21

That's according to

the Jo Cox Foundation,

2:11:212:11:23

which has launched a campaign to get

communities talking in order

2:11:232:11:25

to tackle loneliness.

2:11:252:11:27

Jo's sister, Kim Leadbeater,

is here to tell us more.

2:11:272:11:32

With some mince pies and baubles.

Mince pies and baubles, what more

2:11:322:11:38

could you want?

This is the

Christmas get-together. Many viewers

2:11:382:11:41

will remember the one that happened

over the summer. Give us an update.

2:11:412:11:45

You are on talking about planning

it.

How did it go? It was really

2:11:452:11:50

well-received across the country. We

did the great get-together on the

2:11:502:11:54

anniversary of Jo's murder. Over 9

million people did some sort of

2:11:542:11:59

get-together, a barbecue, street

party, sports day whatever. What it

2:11:592:12:02

showed if there is an appetite there

for events such as that, where

2:12:022:12:06

people can come together over

something simple like sharing food

2:12:062:12:09

or doing some sort of activity. 75%

of people who we asked said we

2:12:092:12:13

should do this more often, so we

are.

9 million, an extraordinary

2:12:132:12:18

amount of people. How did that make

you, as a family, feel?

It was

2:12:182:12:24

clearly a difficult weekend for us

and it got us through Costa resort

2:12:242:12:28

to throw ourselves into the

community and were scooped up by

2:12:282:12:31

people who looked after us. I think

just creating something positive,

2:12:312:12:35

knowing that's what Jo would have

wanted and knowing that, like I

2:12:352:12:39

said, most people seemed to want it.

There is so much negativity at the

2:12:392:12:43

moment and people feel divided,

often people just want an

2:12:432:12:46

opportunity to get together, that's

what the get-together did and

2:12:462:12:51

hopefully what the Christmas one

will do.

I spoke to you before and

2:12:512:12:54

you said that is the legacy wanted

for Jo, shared values, that is at

2:12:542:12:59

the essence of it. That is why you

have now brought around the

2:12:592:13:03

Christmas version, based on mince

pies but an important message

2:13:032:13:06

nonetheless.

Don't panic, if you

don't like mince pies you can have

2:13:062:13:10

Christmas cake or whatever you

fancy! The thing is, after Jo was

2:13:102:13:15

murdered, the world felt like a very

hostile place in a very divided

2:13:152:13:18

place. I think for Jo's husband,

myself and the family we thought we

2:13:182:13:24

needed to counterbalance it with a

different narrative which was about

2:13:242:13:27

bringing people together. That's

what the foundation is all about. I

2:13:272:13:30

have been involved with them working

on loneliness. We have a perception

2:13:302:13:33

that Christmas, the adverts are

wrong with families around the

2:13:332:13:37

table, lots of food and presents,

but the reality is for a lot of

2:13:372:13:41

people it's not like that at all. We

need to make sure we reach out to

2:13:412:13:44

people who want lucky enough to have

that situation and encourage people

2:13:442:13:48

to come together.

You mentioned

loneliness. We do talk about it

2:13:482:13:51

quite a lot here on Breakfast. It

can be devastating on people's

2:13:512:13:57

lives.

Absolutely. I felt extremely

lonely at times in this past 17

2:13:572:14:02

months. When you personally

experienced that, you come to

2:14:022:14:05

understand it. If you choose to be

on your own, that's very different,

2:14:052:14:10

but if you are lonely, whether

through loss or because you are

2:14:102:14:14

socially isolated or you're a carer

or a new parent or whatever it is,

2:14:142:14:17

and are lots of reasons why people

feel lonely and we should be

2:14:172:14:21

embarrassed to talk about it.

Christmas can feel extremely lonely,

2:14:212:14:24

because we are meant to be having

this fantastic time and it's not

2:14:242:14:27

always like that. I think just

reaching out to people who might be

2:14:272:14:31

feeling right that all been reaching

out if you are the person feeling

2:14:312:14:37

lonely.

The idea behind the mince

pie, what is the hashtag? Hashtag

2:14:372:14:40

mince pie moments. That is a

conversation starter, something to

2:14:402:14:43

share with someone else, offer them

a mince pie, have a chat and bring

2:14:432:14:47

them together in that way?

Absolutely. It's like the June

2:14:472:14:51

get-together, it can be whatever you

want it to be. If you wanted to be

2:14:512:14:55

simple like... I haven't seen

so-and-so down the street for a few

2:14:552:14:59

days, knocking the door and see if

they won a mince pie and E. Or big

2:14:592:15:02

scale events like big lunches to

feed people who are homeless or

2:15:022:15:10

isolated at Christmas, we hope we

will get 200 people to come to one

2:15:102:15:13

of the churches where we lived for a

big event. It could be anything big

2:15:132:15:17

or small. It might be people you

haven't seen for ages, people who

2:15:172:15:20

have lost loved ones, it's about

reaching out and connecting with

2:15:202:15:23

someone.

And Christmas is a

particularly difficult time for your

2:15:232:15:27

family I imagine. Will that help

things, in some way?

Absolutely.

2:15:272:15:31

It's a way of coping. Me and my mum

and dad sat down and said what will

2:15:312:15:40

we do Christmas day? We said we

wanted to do something that would

2:15:402:15:42

make a difference to people. We

could sit there and be sad and I'm

2:15:422:15:45

sure we will have those moments, but

to throw yourself into something

2:15:452:15:47

like this is much more positive.

I

have met so many times. You have

2:15:472:15:50

really been very much against John

Major, thrown into the spotlight,

2:15:502:15:55

haven't you?

It has been a bit

nonstop and I get nervous when I

2:15:552:16:00

come and do things like this but I

feel I have to do it. What I think

2:16:002:16:05

is, Jo was alive for 40 years and

achieved an awful lot, but she

2:16:052:16:09

would've achieved so much more in

the next 40 years of her life. I

2:16:092:16:12

think if every person who knew and

loved Jo, who met her always

2:16:122:16:16

inspired by her do something to

create something good, then that is

2:16:162:16:20

something she would be extremely

proud of.

Thank you. Thank you very

2:16:202:16:26

much and for bringing those in.

You

can keep those mince pies!

They

2:16:262:16:30

won't last long. Once we've shared

them out among the crew they will be

2:16:302:16:34

you.

2:16:342:16:35

You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News.

2:16:382:16:40

The main stories:

2:16:402:16:42

Authorities

in Bali have warned that a volcano

2:16:422:16:45

on the island is in imminent danger

of a full-scale eruption.

2:16:452:16:50

A charity has warned BBC Breakfast

that an increasing number of parents

2:16:502:16:53

who have children with special needs

believe home education

2:16:532:16:55

is their only option.

2:16:552:16:56

Here's Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

2:17:012:17:06

The weather has not been

particularly rosy in London this

2:17:062:17:09

morning. Matt is on the roof there.

I sporks Matt, the bad news if -- I

2:17:092:17:14

suppose Matt, the bad news if people

think today is chilly, it will get

2:17:142:17:18

suppose Matt, the bad news if people

think today is chilly, it will get

2:17:182:17:18

worse?

Yes. Good morning. It is a

week that will be dominated by the

2:17:182:17:25

word "Cold". On Regent's Street it

is nine Celsius. That's probably as

2:17:252:17:29

high as the temperature will get

this week. It is a week which will

2:17:292:17:33

be dominated by colder weather.

Today is probably the mildest day of

2:17:332:17:36

the week if you can call it that,

but for many it will be chilly and

2:17:362:17:40

it will be a story of sunshine and

showers. Some of you seeing more

2:17:402:17:43

sunshine than showers. But out there

this morning, not only the mildest

2:17:432:17:48

start, but for some of you the

wettest start. The rain spreading

2:17:482:17:55

towards the English Channel and the

Channel Islands. The temperatures 11

2:17:552:17:59

or 12 Celsius. It is as the rain

clears southwards and back into the

2:17:592:18:04

clearer air, mid-Wales, this is

where the temperatures will be

2:18:042:18:06

starting to drop. A few showers

around. Most frequent across parts

2:18:062:18:12

of north-west England and Scotland

and Northern Ireland. Some of the

2:18:122:18:15

showers wintry with hail and thunder

as well. Across the north-east of

2:18:152:18:18

Scotland this is where we have got

some very strong winds, raw feeling

2:18:182:18:23

day with winds gusting 50mph to

60mph. Through the day, the heaviest

2:18:232:18:28

of the rain becomes confined to the

Channel Islands. Then for the rest

2:18:282:18:31

of you, sunshine here and there.

There will be a few showers coming

2:18:312:18:35

and going. Most frequent north-west

England and north and west Scotland.

2:18:352:18:40

That's a mixture of sleet and snow

and hail and thunder possible. Parts

2:18:402:18:48

of south-east Scotland and eastern

England will stay dry. Make the most

2:18:482:18:52

of it, because the rest of the week

more showers to come. Temperatures

2:18:522:18:56

will drop into single figures.

Evening rush hour, sWention will be

2:18:562:19:00

wet, but elsewhere, the showers that

we have will fade quickly. Showers

2:19:002:19:04

confined to coastal counties in the

north and the west overnight.

2:19:042:19:09

Clearer skies elsewhere. Winds will

keep the temperatures up in towns

2:19:092:19:14

and cities, one, two, three Celsius.

Some this the countryside will drop

2:19:142:19:17

below freezing if the breeze falls

light enough, but tomorrow morning,

2:19:172:19:21

a colder start to the day compared

with today, but it should be a drier

2:19:212:19:25

and brighter one. A few showers to

begin in northern and Western

2:19:252:19:31

Scotland and through the day it is

east of Scotland and eastern parts

2:19:312:19:34

of England who will start to see

more of the showers and they will

2:19:342:19:39

turn wintry. Temperatures, it is

meant to feel closer to freezing

2:19:392:19:44

with the strength of that wind down

eastern coastal counties in

2:19:442:19:47

particular. Some of you will get

away tomorrow with staying dry all

2:19:472:19:51

day long. And the same again on

Wednesday. Parts of southern

2:19:512:19:58

England, the Midlands and north-west

England, best favoured for staying

2:19:582:20:01

dry. Showers across the west. The

main showers on Wednesday. Again,

2:20:012:20:05

Eastern Scotland, eastern England,

and still that strong wind down

2:20:052:20:11

North Sea coasts, and it will make

it feel raw and the cold wind and

2:20:112:20:16

the cold conditions into Thursday.

By Thursday Dan and Louise,

2:20:162:20:19

temperatures only three or four

Celsius. Back to you both.

2:20:192:20:23

Officially Brrr. It is.

2:20:272:20:32

BBC Breakfast has learnt there's

been a significant rise

2:20:322:20:34

in the demand for places in special

schools across England.

2:20:342:20:37

Some parents have even been forced

to send their children hundreds

2:20:372:20:39

of miles across the country in order

to access the support they need.

2:20:392:20:42

The Government says it's investing

hundreds of millions of pounds

2:20:422:20:45

to try and ease pressure.

2:20:452:20:46

As we launch a week-long series

looking at life for our most

2:20:462:20:49

vulnerable children,

Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin

2:20:492:20:50

has this report.

2:20:502:20:53

We have been given rare access

to spend the day with the children

2:20:532:20:57

at the Royal School, Manchester.

2:20:572:20:59

This is a special school

for children with some

2:20:592:21:02

of the highest needs.

2:21:022:21:05

200 staff support 48 children

here including Chloe.

2:21:052:21:09

We've just done map-making.

2:21:092:21:13

She's sat beautifully the whole

lesson, which she would never, ever

2:21:132:21:15

have done when she first came here.

2:21:152:21:17

That is fantastic.

2:21:172:21:18

Chloe has been here for 11 weeks,

ever since her last school

2:21:182:21:22

placement broke down.

2:21:222:21:25

It was so difficult.

2:21:252:21:26

I was very sad.

2:21:262:21:28

I isolated myself and

I didn't have a life.

2:21:282:21:31

She would physically try

and attack me, not to hurt me,

2:21:312:21:34

but just out of distress.

2:21:342:21:39

The turnaround is above and beyond

what I could have imagined.

2:21:392:21:49

Saying "mummy" every day -

she only said "mummy" to me twice

2:21:492:21:51

in six years, and now I get

it every day.

2:21:512:21:54

I've got my little girl back.

She's so happy.

2:21:542:21:56

But all of this costs,

and there is a national

2:21:562:21:58

shortage of places.

2:21:582:21:59

James survived birth at 25 weeks.

2:21:592:22:01

Many more babies are surviving

premature births and conditions

2:22:012:22:05

which previously would have killed.

2:22:052:22:09

But many will have special

needs because of that

2:22:092:22:11

and many will join a waiting list

for a space.

2:22:112:22:16

We've got a seven-year-old

child who is starting

2:22:162:22:18

here next week, and they're

coming from Hertfordshire.

2:22:182:22:20

How many miles is that?

2:22:202:22:21

A long, long way.

2:22:212:22:26

Is that a great sadness for you,

that these children can't

2:22:262:22:28

find the right provision

on their doorstep?

2:22:282:22:30

Closer to home, yes.

2:22:302:22:40

Evy had to wait until she was eight.

She used to surround herself with

2:22:432:22:48

cuddly toys.

2:22:482:22:55

Today, Evie loves music,

and her clothes.

2:22:552:22:57

And, it seems, cameras.

2:22:572:22:59

And she loves hugs.

2:22:592:23:00

She can make these choices now.

2:23:002:23:01

The question is, where would Evie be

today if she had had this kind

2:23:012:23:05

of specialist support right

from the start?

2:23:052:23:06

It costs a huge amount of money

to have a child here.

2:23:062:23:10

Like, maybe £250,000 a year.

2:23:102:23:14

If we can commit to investing

that money much earlier

2:23:142:23:17

in places like this,

we can see children returning

2:23:172:23:21

back to mainstream and over

the life of that child

2:23:212:23:24

there will be a return on that

investment, which will mean,

2:23:242:23:27

when they become adults,

they get employment,

2:23:272:23:28

they go on to live independently,

and that will cost

2:23:282:23:31

society much less.

2:23:312:23:32

Early intervention is everything.

2:23:322:23:33

H for Henry.

2:23:332:23:37

Henry is doing so well he may be

able to move onwards and upwards

2:23:372:23:40

to less-specialist provision.

2:23:402:23:44

Fantastic.

Well done.

2:23:442:23:46

The reality for most children,

though, is that they will have

2:23:462:23:49

to have struggled in other,

less-specialist placements before

2:23:492:23:51

they can finally get to the place

where they make progress.

2:23:512:23:54

I now feel like she's got a future.

She has a chance in life.

2:23:542:24:00

I'm very excited what the future

holds.

2:24:002:24:02

Goodbye.

2:24:022:24:04

We are going to let you go.

2:24:042:24:06

See you soon.

2:24:062:24:08

Goodbye, see you soon.

2:24:082:24:10

Thanks so much to the children

at Manchester Royal School

2:24:102:24:12

for allowing us to visit.

2:24:122:24:21

and disabilities.

2:24:212:24:25

Thank you for everyone who got in

touch. Victoria says this is a

2:24:252:24:28

subject she is really passionate

about. My son is 19 and studying at

2:24:282:24:33

Derby University. I cannot believe

he is doing this as when he was

2:24:332:24:36

seven he was diagnosed with severe

dyslexia. I knew something wasn't

2:24:362:24:41

right from an early age. Pre-school

and primary school teachers didn't

2:24:412:24:44

want to know and would suggest he

just played in the sand. Victoria,

2:24:442:24:50

thank you for getting in contact.

"We had 140 pupils, received an

2:24:502:24:57

outstanding judgment from Ofsted.

Three times running it was was and

2:24:572:25:03

is a successful local authority

school. We provided the activities

2:25:032:25:06

and opportunities you showed on the

film this morning."

Good news for

2:25:062:25:10

people like David who says we have

two brand-new purpose-built special

2:25:102:25:17

educational schools. Each having

places for 180 students." One thing

2:25:172:25:21

is clear, there is lots of people

struggling and finding it hard, but

2:25:212:25:26

when you get help, the difference it

makes is enormous.

2:25:262:25:31

Tomorrow, our report is about the

number of disputes between parents

2:25:312:25:34

and local authorities over the level

of support offered. So we will talk

2:25:342:25:37

about that tomorrow.

Diane in Oxford, "My son who is now

2:25:372:25:43

21 went to mainstream school,

constant problems and difficulties

2:25:432:25:46

over the years. It is a fight and

battle with the education

2:25:462:25:50

department. After three tries trying

it get statement, the only option

2:25:502:25:53

was to remove him from the system."

Thank you.

2:25:532:25:58

We are talking about dad dancing!

Thank you...

There was a survey

2:25:582:26:05

which says people are just dads.

It

is embarrassment. That's why people

2:26:052:26:11

never dance or rarely dance even

with their children and family

2:26:112:26:14

members.

Here are famous dads who

have danced. We will talk about that

2:26:142:26:18

later. Three-quarters of men either

never dance at all or only do so

2:26:182:26:23

rarely which is just a great shame.

Do send in your videos. We have had

2:26:232:26:30

beauties already this morning!

Thank you for your questions for

2:26:302:26:40

David Walliams.

2:26:402:26:41

Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are.

2:26:412:26:42

There's more on our website

at the usual address,

2:30:052:30:08

For now, it's back

to Dan and Louise.

2:30:082:30:10

Bye-bye.

2:30:102:30:10

Bye-bye.

2:30:102:30:11

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

2:30:142:30:19

It is 8:30am.

2:30:192:30:21

It is 8:30am.

2:30:212:30:22

Here's a summary of this morning's

main stories from BBC News.

2:30:222:30:25

Authorities in Bali have warned that

a volcano on the island

2:30:252:30:28

is in imminent danger

of a full-scale eruption.

2:30:282:30:30

Mount Agung has been sending clouds

of thick ash and smoke thousands

2:30:302:30:33

of feet into the air since Saturday.

2:30:332:30:35

The airport has been closed

and locals have been ordered

2:30:352:30:37

to leave their homes.

2:30:372:30:42

Let's have a look at the live

pictures, and of course the volcano

2:30:422:30:47

hidden beneath the clouds, but you

can see the plume of ash, and this

2:30:472:30:50

has been going on for 24 hours,

perhaps longer, but now they are

2:30:502:30:54

saying there is imminent danger that

it could erupt. We will keep you

2:30:542:30:59

right up to date on that an

Breakfast.

2:30:592:31:02

When it last erupted in the 1960s,

over a thousand people died, but

2:31:022:31:07

nowadays the faction -- evacuation

area is huge, so the hope is that

2:31:072:31:16

casualties can be kept down to a

bare minimum. They are preparing.

2:31:162:31:26

The government says it is investing

money to create more special needs

2:31:262:31:32

places in schools. An exclusive

investigation by BBC Breakfast has

2:31:322:31:38

found an increasing number of

children being educated at home,

2:31:382:31:41

with some families believing that is

their only option.

Before, there

2:31:412:31:45

were people who are genuinely making

a choice because that was the right

2:31:452:31:48

thing for them, and now there are

too many families who say they do

2:31:482:31:53

and feel they have any other option,

so they have to resort to home

2:31:532:31:56

education, and that can't be right.

High-tech industries are set to

2:31:562:32:02

receive millions of pounds in extra

funding to boost skills and create

2:32:022:32:04

jobs is part of the Government's

strategy to increase economic

2:32:042:32:10

performance post Brexit. Sections

like robotics, artificial

2:32:102:32:13

intelligence and medical research

will be targeted, but some critics

2:32:132:32:16

say more should be done to help

traditional skills. More on this

2:32:162:32:19

later in the show.

Scotland Yard says 29 people have

2:32:192:32:24

been charged after an investigation

into the alleged misuse of

2:32:242:32:28

electronic tags. Two former

employees of Bielik on it monitors

2:32:282:32:31

servers are accused of accepting

money in exchange for fitting tags

2:32:312:32:35

loosely so they could be removed.

The other 27 people are believed to

2:32:352:32:38

be offenders who took advantage of

the alleged scam. Theresa May has

2:32:382:32:43

said the Government will fund the

full cost of dealing with the

2:32:432:32:46

aftermath of the suicide bombing at

Manchester Arena which killed 22

2:32:462:32:49

people in May. This comes after the

mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy

2:32:492:32:53

Burnham, says the Government's

initial offer was £5 million to low,

2:32:532:32:57

and estimated that £28 million would

be needed.

2:32:572:33:02

Councils in England generated £890

million in profit from parking fees

2:33:022:33:06

and fines during the last financial

year, 10% higher than in the

2:33:062:33:10

previous one. Figures obtained by

the RAC foundation showed four of

2:33:102:33:15

the five councils with the largest

surplus were in London. The Local

2:33:152:33:19

Government Association said income

from parking went towards essential

2:33:192:33:22

transport projects and repairs. That

is a lot of money to spread around.

2:33:222:33:31

Here's what is coming up on

breakfast this morning.

Hello,

2:33:312:33:36

mother, how are you?

Not so bad.

Great. Got to go.

2:33:362:33:44

He's introduced us

2:33:442:33:45

to gangsta grannies and awful

aunties, and now it's

2:33:452:33:47

the turn of "Bad Dad".

2:33:472:33:48

We'll be joined by the comedian

and children's author

2:33:482:33:50

David Walliams shortly.

2:33:502:33:53

This lot aren't afraid to dance,

but as new research suggests more

2:33:532:33:56

than three quarters of men are,

we'll be celebrating

2:33:562:33:58

the joy of dad-dancing.

2:33:582:34:00

What a voice.

2:34:102:34:11

From young refugees to inmates,

she's helped them find

2:34:112:34:13

their voice through song.

2:34:132:34:15

Now the Grammy award winning

Opera Singer Joyce DiDonato is

2:34:152:34:17

taking on a new musical challenge.

2:34:172:34:18

She'll be here to tell

us about it after 9.

2:34:182:34:27

That was quite a note she was

holding there! Sally is here talking

2:34:272:34:32

about the Ashes, or shall we just

move on?

2:34:322:34:37

Shall we just get this bit over

with?

2:34:372:34:42

Four to go!

And next weekend, it could be

2:34:422:34:48

completely different, it will be a

day night match, a different ball,

2:34:482:34:51

the weather will be cooler, so it

all could be different, but

2:34:512:34:55

factually, I have to tell you this.

2:34:552:34:58

England lost the first

test in Brisbane.

2:34:582:35:00

Australia got the runs

they needed easily.

2:35:002:35:01

David Warner and Cameron Bancroft

both made half centuries

2:35:012:35:03

as they reached 173

without losing a wicket.

2:35:032:35:06

So despite some promising moments

along the way England

2:35:062:35:08

were comfortably beaten in the end

and go 1-0 down in

2:35:082:35:11

the five match series.

2:35:112:35:20

I think the most important thing is

that we stayed strong and tight as a

2:35:202:35:24

group of players.

2:35:242:35:27

For three days we played

some excellent cricket.

2:35:272:35:29

Unfortunately when we got into good

positions we didn't quite capitalise

2:35:292:35:32

on that and if we'd done

that we would have seen a very

2:35:322:35:35

different scoreboard

sat here right now.

2:35:352:35:37

The post-match press conference

was dominated not by the cricket

2:35:372:35:43

but by accusations that

Jonny Bairstow had headbutted

2:35:432:35:45

Australian opener Cameron Bancroft

on a night out in Perth at the start

2:35:452:35:48

of the tour a few weeks ago.

2:35:482:35:53

This is alleged to have happened a

month ago in Perth.

Both players

2:35:532:35:58

involved address the media, and

Bairstow said the incident had been

2:35:582:36:02

blown completely out of proportion.

2:36:022:36:06

We were just in the bar having

a good laugh and a good evening out.

2:36:062:36:10

It was very enjoyable.

2:36:102:36:13

Cameron and I enjoyed the evening

and continued to do so.

2:36:132:36:16

No intent or malice about anything

during the evening.

2:36:162:36:22

He connected with my head, and, you

know, with a force that would make

2:36:222:36:29

me think, that's a bit weird. That

was it.

I would just like to say

2:36:292:36:36

good morning to the lovely view of

who has written in already to say

2:36:362:36:39

that her husband and son head-butt

each other most mornings as a form

2:36:392:36:43

of affection, it is like a greeting.

It is a bit like a hug, a very

2:36:432:36:48

gentle little head-butt, so maybe it

was that.

2:36:482:36:50

That's a different way of looking at

it!

2:36:502:36:55

I thought you were going to say, a

viewer, David Walliams.

Or the one

2:36:552:37:02

viewer who is watching the show!

We love him so much, we have given

2:37:022:37:06

him a place on the sofa. Would you

like to stay?

I would, please.

What

2:37:062:37:11

do you think of Pep Guardiola and

Manchester City?

Who?

2:37:112:37:19

I will educate you!

2:37:192:37:21

Manchester City manager remain

unbeaten after coming from behind

2:37:212:37:23

against Huddersfield.

2:37:232:37:24

Raheem Sterling was the match winner

for City with just six

2:37:242:37:27

minutes left in the game.

2:37:272:37:28

Their lead at the top of the table

now eight points over

2:37:282:37:31

rivals Manchester United.

2:37:312:37:32

Everton are two points off

the Premier League relegation zone

2:37:322:37:34

after suffering another heavy defeat

under caretaker manager

2:37:342:37:36

David Unsworth.

2:37:362:37:37

Steven Davis wrapped up a 4-1

victory for Southampton yesterday.

2:37:372:37:45

Arsenal move up to fourth

after an injury-time penalty

2:37:452:37:47

against Burnley at Turf Moor.

2:37:472:37:48

Alexis Sanchez scored the goal

that moves them ahead

2:37:482:37:51

of North London rivals Tottenham.

2:37:512:37:52

Celtic have won their fourth

domestic trophy in a row -

2:37:522:37:54

as they retained the Scottish League

Cup.

2:37:542:37:56

James Forrest put them on their way

to a 2-0 win over Motherwell.

2:37:562:37:59

Celtic are now 65 domestic

games now without defeat.

2:37:592:38:01

Hibernian completed the cup double

for the second year running

2:38:012:38:04

with a 3-0 victory over Glasgow City

in the Women's Scottish Cup final.

2:38:042:38:10

And finally, Valtteri Bottas took

the honours ahead of Mercedes team

2:38:102:38:12

mate Lewis Hamilton in the final

race of the Formula One

2:38:122:38:15

season in Abu Dhabi.

2:38:152:38:16

The Finn completed the hat-trick

of pole position, fastest lap

2:38:162:38:18

and race win as he claimed his third

victory of the year.

2:38:182:38:22

Sebastian Vettel finished third

which was enough to secure

2:38:222:38:28

the runners-up spot

in the drivers' championship,

2:38:282:38:30

which Hamilton had already won.

2:38:302:38:33

David Walliams, I am now going to

give you a list of questions about

2:38:332:38:36

the bulletin.

There is too much

sport! The football just goes on and

2:38:362:38:42

on and on. Why do they just decide

who is the best team and stop?

2:38:422:38:46

Because that's the end of the fun!

What about your swimming challenges?

2:38:462:38:51

That's like saying, don't bother

with...

Well, they were wonderful!

2:38:512:38:57

That's like saying, don't bother

with a challenge, I've done it.

But

2:38:572:39:00

there is a lot of sport, I can't

keep up.

You are here to talk about

2:39:002:39:04

your books in a minute.

Yes.

Do you

still swim now, or not?

I swam here

2:39:042:39:11

this morning! I do swim, but Justin

swimming pools rather than the sea.

2:39:112:39:19

Or the whole length of a river. You

have been doing Facebook live for us

2:39:192:39:23

as well, and we have some questions

from our younger viewers. This is to

2:39:232:39:29

celebrate your tenth book.

Tenth

novel. I think there are 18 books.

2:39:292:39:39

Tenth novel, Bad Dad. For those who

have been on the journey with you

2:39:392:39:47

between The Boy In The Dress, And

Ratberger and so on. This is about a

2:39:472:39:58

boy whose dad is sent to prison, and

he springs him out of prison for the

2:39:582:40:02

night so that they can put the money

back and move on with their lives.

2:40:022:40:06

And once again it has fabulous

illustrations.

Yes, by Tony Ross.

2:40:062:40:13

How important are they for the book?

Really important, because I remember

2:40:132:40:17

as a kid picking up books in the

library, because my mum and dad used

2:40:172:40:22

to take me and my sister every two

weeks, and you flip through a look

2:40:222:40:25

at the pictures and decide whether

you think it is an exciting story or

2:40:252:40:28

not. And there aren't enough

pictures all the pictures look

2:40:282:40:30

boring, you wouldn't it

off-the-shelf. So I think it is

2:40:302:40:35

really important. I have a nephew

who is 11 call Eddie, and sometimes

2:40:352:40:39

he looks at books with loads of text

and says it looks a bit hard, and it

2:40:392:40:43

is much more fun if you can play

with the text on the design and have

2:40:432:40:48

illustrations so that those more

reluctant readers are not

2:40:482:40:51

intimidated by them.

We mention

Roald Dahl earlier on, and the

2:40:512:40:55

illustrations in his books were

crucial as well, and also the use of

2:40:552:40:59

humour to deal with quite serious

subjects, which is again something

2:40:592:41:02

that you do your own books.

I think

it is really important. There

2:41:022:41:06

shouldn't be any subject that you

can't deal with in some ways in a

2:41:062:41:13

children's book. In Grampa's Great

Escape

2:41:132:41:18

children's book. In Grampa's Great

Escape, I deal with Alzheimer's, I

2:41:182:41:22

don't give it that name, but it is

balanced with The Great Escape story

2:41:222:41:28

from an old people's home, so I felt

I could deal with the subject as

2:41:282:41:32

long as I had something which was

more entertaining going on as well.

2:41:322:41:35

I saw something about Roald Dahl and

how he used to write, he had a very

2:41:352:41:39

particular kind of things that he

had to do, be in the right place and

2:41:392:41:42

all rest of it, do you have a

special place to write, does the pen

2:41:422:41:47

have to be a certain way, how does

it work for you?

I sit at a

2:41:472:41:51

computer! I just need to be alone,

and the thing about Roald Dahl and

2:41:512:42:00

obviously everyone talks about his

shed and I have been to see it, what

2:42:002:42:05

he obviously really wanted was

solitude, and so I think that is

2:42:052:42:09

what is very important when you are

trying to write, because you're

2:42:092:42:13

trying to imagine, I liken it to

this. You are trying to remember a

2:42:132:42:17

film you've never seen. And so you

are alone with your thoughts, and

2:42:172:42:21

you try to picture ever then write

it down, so if you got loads of

2:42:212:42:25

distractions, it breaks your

concentration.

So no phone, no

2:42:252:42:29

e-mail.

That's the idea. I just need

to research this thing, and then

2:42:292:42:36

suddenly you are watching YouTube

videos, and you think, how did I get

2:42:362:42:42

to this? As much discipline as you

can create for yourself, the better.

2:42:422:42:45

Would you like a question from

Ellie?

Hi, David. I really love your

2:42:452:42:54

books, I've nearly got the whole

collection. What is your favourite

2:42:542:43:02

book that you've wrote? My favourite

is The World's Worst Children one. I

2:43:022:43:12

hope you have a nice day. Goodbye.

How lovely is she?

So sweet. My

2:43:122:43:18

favourite book that I've written, I

would say that is Harry Potter And

2:43:182:43:24

The Philosopher's Stone, which I

wrote under a pseudonym! Well, you

2:43:242:43:31

want to think that you are getting

better as a writer, so you want to

2:43:312:43:34

think that your latest book brings

all the elements together, but they

2:43:342:43:38

are all special for different

reasons, Gangsta Granny is a special

2:43:382:43:48

one, and Mr Stink.

And now you are a

dad, has that changed your writing?

2:43:482:43:58

It just means that I have less time!

The good thing is I have nephews,

2:43:582:44:03

and my son, and because of the

success of the books, I meet lots of

2:44:032:44:06

kids, so you are a little more in

touch of what kids find funny or

2:44:062:44:10

scary or interesting, so it does

help you a bit with your writing.

2:44:102:44:15

And in the books, they tend to have

a timeless feel, because you don't

2:44:152:44:18

talk about modern technology to much

or things like Facebook, which I

2:44:182:44:22

would imagine means it would hold up

in 25 years. Is that something you

2:44:222:44:27

have done consciously?

I have,

because I go into schools around the

2:44:272:44:33

country, and I have been around the

world, Australia, New Zealand,

2:44:332:44:38

Canada, allows kids about what books

they lie, and dimension Charlie And

2:44:382:44:42

The Chocolate Factory, and everyone

knows that book, and it was written

2:44:422:44:48

over 50 years ago, and Roald Dahl

died 25 years ago, yet it feels

2:44:482:44:52

completely contemporary kids. And so

I think it is a mistake to put into

2:44:522:44:57

many modern references, because it

does just date really quickly, you

2:44:572:45:01

think it won't, but things that were

current ten years ago have been

2:45:012:45:06

completely forgotten, kids are not

necessarily looking back to those

2:45:062:45:09

things, either.

When you are

writing, because lots of them have

2:45:092:45:13

been adapted, and we are going to

watch this clip from Boy In The

2:45:132:45:19

Dress while we are talking. Do you

think that this is the characterise

2:45:192:45:23

going to play?

I am not that

egotistical. I know having met me

2:45:232:45:30

you think I might be, but I really

wanted to play Bert in Ratberger,

2:45:302:45:37

because I had so much fun playing

this character, he is the evil

2:45:372:45:42

villain, and I used to love reading

bits from the book to kids at

2:45:422:45:46

events. And so I was thinking that I

really wanted to, and Harry Enfield

2:45:462:45:52

said, I would really love to play

it, and I was thinking, no, you

2:45:522:45:55

would be too good! So I played the

sun in Grampa's Great Escape. It is

2:45:552:46:03

nice to be in them, but I am also

really lucky to have all these

2:46:032:46:07

brilliant actors, proper actors,

people like Sir Tom Courtenay. And

2:46:072:46:14

Sheridan Smith is in Ratberger.

2:46:142:46:21

It has worked out that way, it seems

greedy but sky wants to make Rat

2:46:212:46:32

Burger and the BBC wanted to make

Grandpa's Great Escape.

Can ask

2:46:322:46:44

about Kim Jong-un? When you does to

buzzards and people were offended.

2:46:442:46:49

Two people were on Twitter.

We are

easily offended these days.

I am

2:46:492:46:56

more offended by what Kim Jong-un

does, not by somebody being dressed

2:46:562:47:00

up him.

Shall we leave it? We have

done football, swimming, books and

2:47:002:47:06

North Korea as well!

With humour, I

think the thing is, when you think

2:47:062:47:11

about a film like Life of Brian, if

your faith is important to you, do

2:47:112:47:17

you like that film?

I can offer did.

Not every Christian code, does that

2:47:172:47:22

mean that the film should not exist?

No, it makes you challenge what you

2:47:222:47:29

believe.

So you are balancing all

the time between potentially

2:47:292:47:40

offending people and making people

laugh.

And your faith should be

2:47:402:47:42

strong enough not to be rocked by

something like that.

That is

2:47:422:47:45

important. If you can't joke about

everything you can't have him

2:47:452:47:47

because somebody can't make a joke

saying that you cannot joke about

2:47:472:47:50

this and this and this because then

humour has no place.

Very

2:47:502:47:53

interesting thought. Thank you for a

wide ranging discussion, David.

2:47:532:48:02

David Walliams's latest book is

called Bad Dad. And lots of TV this

2:48:022:48:08

Christmas. Do you want to do the

weather as well?

2:48:082:48:11

Here's Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

2:48:112:48:15

Here's Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

2:48:152:48:20

Thank you, a bit of a soggy start

but temperatures are still around 9

2:48:202:48:25

degrees, probably the highest all

week because the forecast shows a

2:48:252:48:29

week which has more of a wintry

feel, it will be cold, a mixture of

2:48:292:48:33

sunshine and showers across the UK,

and those showers at times will have

2:48:332:48:37

some sleet and snow as well. Sleet

and snow are limited to the far

2:48:372:48:42

north, in the south it's raining,

southern England still wet at the

2:48:422:48:46

moment and also windy. That rain now

spreading to the Channel islands

2:48:462:48:50

where it will be windy and wet to

match Of The Day, temperatures

2:48:502:48:55

11-12d, had further north, you

notice single figure temperatures,

2:48:552:48:59

cold air pushing back south at the

moment, sunshine breaking through

2:48:592:49:03

towards parts of the Midlands,

Wales, northwards, showers scattered

2:49:032:49:09

around, north-west England, Scotland

and Northern Ireland, of a higher

2:49:092:49:12

ground sleet and snow mixed. Longer

spells of rain, sleet and snow in

2:49:122:49:18

north-east Scotland, and especially

raw day with strong winds of 60

2:49:182:49:22

miles an hour at times. Swear

blustery, most places will brighten

2:49:222:49:26

after a cloudy start in the South

but will stick with rain and the

2:49:262:49:32

challenge to egg Channel Islands

into the afternoon -- elsewhere

2:49:322:49:35

blustery. The most areas

temperatures will drop as the North

2:49:352:49:38

West and winced again. Some showers

across South East Scotland and

2:49:382:49:44

eastern England. Tonight showers

will quickly fade for many,

2:49:442:49:49

south-west England will see a spell

of heavy rain taking us into the

2:49:492:49:52

evening rush-hour, that will clear

beneficial was to coastal parts of

2:49:522:49:56

the north and West through the night

into the morning, most places dry,

2:49:562:50:01

clear and chilly. Frost may not be

extensive because we've got too much

2:50:012:50:05

breeze, that will keep temperatures

are artificial and around 1-3dC but

2:50:052:50:10

you will notice the chilly tomorrow,

at least for most a dry and sunny

2:50:102:50:16

start to the morning, tomorrow

eastern Scotland come eastern

2:50:162:50:19

England, this is where we will see

showers become more abundant into

2:50:192:50:23

the afternoon. Some heavy hail,

thunder, sleet and Hill snow

2:50:232:50:26

possible as well and the winds at

their strongest stammers eastern

2:50:262:50:36

coasts, that will add to the

wind-chill, making it feel closer to

2:50:362:50:38

freezing in the afternoon across

eastern areas. Tomorrow dry, same

2:50:382:50:40

again on Wednesday, parts of

southern England, the Midlands into

2:50:402:50:44

North West England, south-west

Scotland, most likely to see showers

2:50:442:50:49

again eastern counties of England,

eastern Scotland where the wind will

2:50:492:50:53

be strongest, feeling particularly

raw, the cold wind still with us

2:50:532:50:59

into Thursday, temperatures around

3-4dC for many parts of the country

2:50:592:51:03

on Thursday. Definitely a week to

use those winter bargains you'll

2:51:032:51:06

have bought at the weekend, jackets,

gloves, scarves, the whole thing.

2:51:062:51:10

Bacterial!

2:51:102:51:15

Thank you, we'll be dressed and

ready.

2:51:152:51:17

Thank you, we'll be dressed and

ready.

2:51:172:51:26

Louise can't tell her head, Matt,

because she has hurt her neck! The

2:51:282:51:33

lady is not for turning, today.

High-tech industries from

2:51:332:51:38

pharmaceuticals to robotics and

chemistry and engineering are to

2:51:382:51:43

receive a boost in funding and

training. Sean has recovered and is

2:51:432:51:47

talking about a factory that makes

things have factories. Good morning.

2:51:472:51:51

Good morning. Incredible hypnotic

robot, that is not its job, and just

2:51:512:51:59

hypnotised by it. You just watch and

making a car panel 4-door. That's

2:51:592:52:05

just one of many different types of

robots and 3-D printers, right

2:52:052:52:10

across the huge manufacturing

technology Centre in Coventry, kind

2:52:102:52:13

of an example of what the government

would like to see implemented with

2:52:132:52:18

industrial strategy, getting

together the ideas, skills, business

2:52:182:52:22

investment, government policy, all

focused on certain areas, trying to

2:52:222:52:25

grow Britain in the years to come.

One key part of that is skills and

2:52:252:52:30

people. Here a couple of people on

apprenticeship schemes, morning

2:52:302:52:35

Jack, and Tilly. Tilly, how did you

end up on an apprenticeship scheme

2:52:352:52:41

here, when you were 16 when you had

to choose?

18. When I left school I

2:52:412:52:47

did a two-year college course, I did

motor vehicles so I was in that

2:52:472:52:52

area. I went into engineering

because there was a wider range of

2:52:522:52:55

jobs available. When I was

approached at college I decided to

2:52:552:53:03

take the apprenticeship and now I am

on my third year.

Why did you choose

2:53:032:53:07

this over other options?

Offended

more interesting, the technology

2:53:072:53:11

available here was much more open

and got what I wanted to do. I

2:53:112:53:16

wanted to go into robot programming

and that is why I'm in the

2:53:162:53:20

automation Department.

It seems

there is no better place to be for a

2:53:202:53:26

robot programming. Jack, you are

almost at the end of your

2:53:262:53:28

apprenticeship and started working

with the business. How has it been

2:53:282:53:32

over three or four years?

Really

good. I've learned a lot of new

2:53:322:53:37

skills through the apprenticeship

and then it was a big step moving

2:53:372:53:41

onto the company I work for now,

they've basically carried on my

2:53:412:53:47

skills, further education and

hopefully this year next February #.

2:53:472:53:51

For your apprenticeship.

And was the

plan then?

I will complete an agency

2:53:512:53:58

that my company has pushed me

forward to do and after that I

2:53:582:54:01

become an application engineer for

the company.

Does everybody follow

2:54:012:54:07

the same kind of path?

Yes,

currently I'm doing age and see at

2:54:072:54:14

Solihull College, won a finished

that I will be a technician here and

2:54:142:54:18

hopefully go on to robot programming

and trainer that field.

I can't move

2:54:182:54:24

on until I point out that you can't

adjust to and were a medal, what was

2:54:242:54:30

it?

Last week I competed in the

world skills show, it brings in

2:54:302:54:37

engineers into a competition.

That

type of robot?

Machine cutting.

2:54:372:54:42

There's also the competitions for

different apprentices but I competed

2:54:422:54:49

so I got a silver medal last week.

Congratulations.

I'm in the UK

2:54:492:54:56

squads so I'll compete in

international tournament hopefully

2:54:562:54:58

in the next two years following

training from my company and the

2:54:582:55:03

sales team.

, That might see the

thing we see Steph doing, watch out

2:55:032:55:09

for her! When she is a fan of those

championships. Jack is clearly done

2:55:092:55:14

well. Hello, Clive Camille Cotman by

surprise. You run this whole thing,

2:55:142:55:19

you are and chief executive of the

MDC. What can the industrial

2:55:192:55:23

strategy and the people carrying it

out and learn from what you guys do

2:55:232:55:27

here?

I think the key thing is being

able to get industry, academia and

2:55:272:55:35

the translational research things

are all working together in

2:55:352:55:36

partnership to bring through really

good ideas that are coming from

2:55:362:55:42

academia, converting them into

products and processes that can be

2:55:422:55:46

adopted by industry and to try to do

that at a much faster pace. So it's

2:55:462:55:51

the investment in the translational

work that becomes important

2:55:512:55:55

alongside the work invested by the

academics.

If I take you here, and

2:55:552:56:02

we join Nick, we can see, this

machine, can you just explain, how

2:56:022:56:10

your setup here, how the industrial

strategy can learn from a robot,

2:56:102:56:15

like this? How can it be used.

This

robot in particular is an

2:56:152:56:20

interactive robot. So rather than

just doing a fixed set of work we

2:56:202:56:26

have added lasers and optics to this

robot so that it can now do

2:56:262:56:30

multitasking. When you start to use

robots multitasking they become much

2:56:302:56:37

more intelligent is a piece of

equipment, so that they can do many

2:56:372:56:41

things rather than one thing.

Got

you. Nick, just before we go, this

2:56:412:56:48

is the kind of industrial strategy

is from many governments, they've

2:56:482:56:52

got Brexit to sort out, is this the

right thing to right now? Maher it's

2:56:522:56:57

clearly important to try to dig

advantage of opportunities that will

2:56:572:57:00

occur as a result of Brexit. But at

the moment we don't know what those

2:57:002:57:04

will be because we don't know what

our future trading relationship with

2:57:042:57:08

the EU will be.

Server strategy

needs to be flexible enough to

2:57:082:57:13

account for the significant changes

we are likely to see in the next few

2:57:132:57:17

years.

Surely automation, robots,

whatever kind of trade deal that is,

2:57:172:57:22

this will happen.

These will all be

valuable things to invest in, I

2:57:222:57:29

think the important thing is

consistency, we had three industrial

2:57:292:57:33

strategies in ten years, is in

further education we've seen 20

2:57:332:57:37

pieces of legislation invidious. The

government needs a long-term plan

2:57:372:57:42

and needs to prioritise, it just

can't be a list of existing

2:57:422:57:46

policies.

Thank you, Nick, that will

have to be the big thing for the

2:57:462:57:50

government, making sure that they

prioritise. Meanwhile all those

2:57:502:57:54

Brexit talks and keeping the

business, what will all those trade

2:57:542:57:59

deals look like, carry on in next

three years. Thank you, John, I love

2:57:592:58:03

the way that you were ambushed by

your own guest! You never know, do

2:58:032:58:07

you! They come from everywhere.

Thank you, Sean. It's just coming up

2:58:072:58:14

to nine o'clock.

2:58:142:58:16

There are fears children

with special needs are being let

2:58:162:58:18

down by the education system.

2:58:182:58:19

An exclusive investigation for BBC

Breakfast has found a 57% increase

2:58:192:58:22

in the number of children

being educated at home.

2:58:222:58:24

We have been told that some families

believe this is their only option.

2:58:242:58:33

Today we launch a week-long series

looking at what life is like for our

2:58:332:58:36

most vulnerable children.

2:58:362:58:37

In the first of our special reports,

our Education Editor Branwen

2:58:372:58:41

Jeffreys joins us again.

2:58:412:58:45

Four people fresh to this, take us

through the figures.

We wanted to

2:58:452:58:49

find out what was happening to the

children with the most severe and

2:58:492:58:54

complex needs, either they have a

statement in Wales, England,

2:58:542:58:58

Northern Ireland or they might have

one of the new education health care

2:58:582:59:01

plans. It's the new system coming

in. Just looking at only those

2:59:012:59:05

children be fined 1600 or home

educated for several reasons. Some

2:59:052:59:10

we know because families are taking

their children out of school, around

2:59:102:59:15

1000 did not have a school place at

all. So when we look at the average

2:59:152:59:20

waiting time is to get to school,

the waiting time was five months.

2:59:202:59:27

That is a long time for a family to

not know what is happening to their

2:59:272:59:31

child's schooling. And all that time

the child is missing out in terms of

2:59:312:59:36

what they are learning.

2:59:362:59:40

I'm just looking at some of the

messages we are having, so many

2:59:402:59:45

people getting in touch. It is

having a big impact on people.

There

2:59:452:59:49

are financial factors, although the

Government is putting in some extra

2:59:492:59:53

money. If you are a school that is

inclusive, you get a reputation for

2:59:532:59:57

being good at looking after children

with extra needs, then more children

2:59:573:00:00

will come to you, and you have to

give them a place, but you then have

3:00:003:00:05

to find £6,000 out of your budget to

look after their extra needs before

3:00:053:00:12

you can ask for any extra help. So

there are real financial pressures

3:00:123:00:15

in the system that reducing the

support that children can get.

We

3:00:153:00:17

are going to be looking at this

throughout the week. We haven't had

3:00:173:00:22

any response from the government,

but that is not through lack of

3:00:223:00:25

trying. Nobody will come on in front

up about this at the moment.

That's

3:00:253:00:30

right. I understand that in the six

weeks since we first asked for a

3:00:303:00:33

minister to come on and talk about

the many, many issues we are looking

3:00:333:00:37

into this week, everything from the

pressures on special schools or the

3:00:373:00:41

home education stuff we're talking

about today, of course there is

3:00:413:00:44

still the whole week. There are lots

of questions, we are lots of

3:00:443:00:55

questions, we're getting an amazing

response from families, as you know,

3:00:553:00:57

and I'm sure they would love to hear

from a Government minister about how

3:00:573:01:00

the system is working and whatever

that are being made.

Thank you very

3:01:003:01:03

much, so many people getting in

touch. Faye from exercise, my son is

3:01:033:01:05

now in year eight, he has been

diagnosed with ADHD for four years,

3:01:053:01:09

he struggled with primaries call to

the point where he was removed from

3:01:093:01:13

mainstream classes. Listening to all

the other parent struggling to get

3:01:133:01:15

their children education, I feel

lucky. My son's School has an

3:01:153:01:20

excellent nurture programme for

struggling children with smaller and

3:01:203:01:23

quieter classes, so there are some

success stories out there.

There

3:01:233:01:27

are, and we know that this is about

helping children fulfil their

3:01:273:01:30

potential. It may be different

potential, it may be unique to what

3:01:303:01:40

they can do, but there is no doubt

that with the right support, and we

3:01:403:01:43

are hearing that as well, that kids

can make fantastic progress. I heard

3:01:433:01:45

from a teaching assistant working in

an outstanding special school who

3:01:453:01:47

says that people are working above

and beyond giving loads of free

3:01:473:01:50

time, that she works with some

exceptional people who have got

3:01:503:01:52

amazing skills, but we are just

warehousing the children because we

3:01:523:01:57

don't have the funding facility to

allow them to flourish, so even

3:01:573:02:00

people who feel they are making a

difference are frustrated in the

3:02:003:02:06

system.

And we will be looking at

that throughout the week.

We have been talking about a

dangerous species, it is dad

3:02:223:02:24

dancing. A survey shows that three

quarters of men either never dance

3:02:243:02:27

at all, or do so only rarely,

because they say they are too

3:02:273:02:31

embarrassed. So in a bid to reverse

this trend, we have had a look

3:02:313:02:35

through the archives and found some

blokes who love to boogie, so if you

3:02:353:02:39

are embarrassed by dancing, look

away now.

# I Bet You Look Good

On The Dance Floor...

3:02:493:02:52

#

3:02:523:02:55

Can I dance?

3:02:553:02:56

No.

3:02:563:02:57

No, there you go.

3:02:573:03:04

I have got to a certain age where I

am allowed to dad dance, so I do it

3:03:043:03:08

at every opportunity.

It is a bit

embarrassing.

It has to be done. I

3:03:083:03:18

wouldn't be a dad if I wasn't

dancing!

I have seen a lot of people

3:03:183:03:23

doing it, I don't know if I'm guilty

of doing it.

I like it!

He has been

3:03:233:03:30

known to move in a dancing sort of

fashion, I would say.

Very pretty.

I

3:03:303:03:35

would say bad.

Go on!

3:03:353:03:43

That was more of a jump than adults,

I think! Thank you for some of your

3:03:433:03:48

videos.

3:03:483:03:51

This is more of a kitchen

rave than a kitchen

3:03:513:03:53

disco, sent in by Hugh.

3:03:533:03:57

Double dad dancing. They need a

whistle! And they are offered!

3:03:573:04:07

Clearly a misspent youth.

3:04:073:04:13

And back by popular request, this is

Tracy's video of her husband John

3:04:133:04:17

dancing to Michael Jackson's

Thriller with his daughter. I am

3:04:173:04:27

going to have a Sunday night disco,

I think. No, it is Monday night,

3:04:273:04:31

isn't it?

It is the loudness of his clapping

3:04:313:04:37

as well, and excellent pyjamas! Good

luck to all you dads dancing, and

3:04:373:04:43

just remember it is just about the

enjoyment.

3:04:433:04:46

You don't need to send in a video,

just do it for the enjoyment! In a

3:04:463:04:55

moment, we will be meeting Joyce

DiDonato, but first a last look at

3:04:553:04:58

the

3:04:583:06:30

with a top temperature of 10

Celsius. And I

3:06:303:06:30

with a top temperature of 10

Celsius. And I will be back at

3:06:303:06:32

1:30pm with the lunchtime news, I do

hope you can join me then. Goodbye.

3:06:323:06:37

Welcome back, you are watching

Breakfast.

3:06:483:06:50

From a childhood dream

to sing on Broadway,

3:06:503:06:53

to becoming an award winning opera

star - singing was always

3:06:533:06:55

going to feature heavily

in the life of our next guest.

3:06:553:06:58

It's that passion that has taken

Joyce DiDonato from the world's most

3:06:583:07:01

famous opera houses to performing

with at refugee camps in Greece.

3:07:013:07:03

Joyce joins us in a moment,

but first, let's remind ourselves

3:07:033:07:06

of her incredible voice.

3:07:063:07:10

That has just calmed me down

beautifully.

3:07:583:08:00

We could happily listen to that for

the rest of the day! Thank you for

3:08:003:08:05

coming to see us. We will take you

back first if we can bit, because

3:08:053:08:10

you didn't come to opera singing

early on like some people do, but

3:08:103:08:13

you didn't?

My singing when I was

young was with a hairbrush in the

3:08:133:08:18

mirror, secretly hoping somebody

would hear me, but dying of

3:08:183:08:21

embarrassment if they did. I loved

music and singing, I grew up in a

3:08:213:08:26

musical family, but growing up in

Kansas City, it was never a dream to

3:08:263:08:30

be a star, because that seemed

really far away. So I went to

3:08:303:08:35

college to be a high school music

teacher, I saw the special education

3:08:353:08:40

lady here earlier, and I thought,

that could have been me, that was

3:08:403:08:44

the track that I was on. But there

is something about the world of

3:08:443:08:49

opera that absolutely grabbed me,

heart and soul, and still has not

3:08:493:08:54

let go.

So what was the breakthrough

moment? Who said, hold on a minute,

3:08:543:08:58

we need to get her on stage?

I wish

there had been won. I was this very

3:08:583:09:04

boring example of slow and steady

wins the race. And if I remove any

3:09:043:09:09

domino of that effect, I wouldn't be

here. But there wasn't actually a

3:09:093:09:12

single one. When the opportunities

did come, my training put me in a

3:09:123:09:18

position to be ready. So I was ready

when it hit.

We're just looking at

3:09:183:09:22

you here. Is this the Albert Hall?

This is Last Night Of The Proms it

3:09:223:09:31

must be extraordinary to be at that.

It is intoxicating, when you walk

3:09:313:09:35

out, every body had Tommy, there is

nothing like it, and I had some at

3:09:353:09:39

the Proms before, but that is not

the same as the last night, and it

3:09:393:09:44

is this euphoric wall of celebration

and joy, and excitement that I can't

3:09:443:09:51

put into words. I will never forget

that night.

That is a huge

3:09:513:09:56

production, but your latest album is

250 musicians. I am struggling to

3:09:563:10:02

picture how big that is. What is

that like is a production to be part

3:10:023:10:06

of?

It was extraordinary. We had

three different choirs, 200 plus

3:10:063:10:12

musicians, including six harps at

one point.

Get me six harps!

I think

3:10:123:10:19

that sixth harpist is the one who

probably never get tired. This is

3:10:193:10:23

part of this five act epic opera

called Les Troyens of Berlioz, and

3:10:233:10:34

nobody had ever seen work composed

like this before, and he died before

3:10:343:10:40

he could see it put on the stage. He

spent so much of his life making

3:10:403:10:44

this epic masterpiece, and this was

extraordinary. We did two concerts

3:10:443:10:50

in Strasbourg and film for some DVD

excerpts, and this audio recording.

3:10:503:10:55

Staggering. And as well as

performing those types of

3:10:553:10:58

environments, you have been

performing as well with refugee

3:10:583:11:02

children. We can see a clip of this.

3:11:023:11:06

So, tell us where you were and who

the children were.

This is in

3:11:353:11:40

Athens, and later that night, it was

during Ramadan, we went to a refugee

3:11:403:11:46

camp and we performed there. These

are extraordinary kids that are part

3:11:463:11:53

of else's in Greece, and you have

this whole mix of nationalities

3:11:533:12:03

together, and they are bringing in

Greek children as well from the

3:12:033:12:06

local neighbourhoods to integrate

and get these beautiful children

3:12:063:12:11

side by side holding hands and

joining voices, learning each

3:12:113:12:14

other's folk songs, singing

together. It is part of a project

3:12:143:12:21

called In War And Peace, Harmony

Three Music which is what I have

3:12:213:12:25

done, is there a way through music

that we can try to cut down

3:12:253:12:32

division, bring people together and

find harmony, and I'm finding it not

3:12:323:12:37

only possible, it's thriving.

And

you used to do prison singing in the

3:12:373:12:40

US, how does that go down?

It is

extraordinary, and it is the same

3:12:403:12:45

concept. Give people the permission

and the chance to express

3:12:453:12:48

themselves, and connect to people.

At Singh -- Sing Sing, often they

3:12:483:13:09

are segregated, but this brings

everyone together, and one of them

3:13:093:13:14

has decided that he wants to write

an opera and he is composing it.

Al

3:13:143:13:18

message this morning is, get out

there and dance, get out there and

3:13:183:13:21

sing.

3:13:213:13:24

Joyce's album is called Les Troyens.

3:13:243:13:25

That's all from us for today.

3:13:253:13:27

We'll both be here from six

tomorrow, until then

3:13:273:13:29

have a great day.

3:13:293:13:30

have a great day.

3:13:303:13:31

We will have more on our series

about special educational needs and

3:13:313:13:34

disabilities. Goodbye.
