0:00:04 > 0:00:10Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13The royal wedding - we should find out more

0:00:13 > 0:00:14details later today.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to get married

0:00:17 > 0:00:18in a church.

0:00:18 > 0:00:22We should find out the venue and date later.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25And we'll be live outside Buckingham Palace getting

0:00:25 > 0:00:27all the latest and we'll also be finding out how

0:00:27 > 0:00:32the United States is reacting.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Good morning.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48It's Tuesday, November 28.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Also this morning: A huge jump in the number of parents fighting

0:00:51 > 0:00:53to get educational support for their children.

0:00:53 > 0:01:02There's been a 28% increase in the last year alone.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06It has taken every fibre in my body to fight, and I will never, ever

0:01:06 > 0:01:12give up for what my daughter needs and is legally entitled to.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Your Christmas dinner is going to cost more this year.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17The highest prices for turkey and all the trimmings in eight

0:01:17 > 0:01:19years, according to one piece of research.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm taking a look at festive food prices.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25In sport, who will be the BBC Sports Personality of the Year?

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Last Christmas, Andy Murray won it for a record third time.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I'll have the list of this year's 12 candidates just after 6:30am.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Excellent, thank you.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35And Matt is out and about with the weather.

0:01:35 > 0:01:35Good

0:01:35 > 0:01:42Good morning. I am at the Yorkshire Museum. Let's see if we can brighten

0:01:42 > 0:01:44up your Tuesday morning. A

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Museum. Let's see if we can brighten up your Tuesday morning. A lot more

0:01:45 > 0:01:49sunshine around, wintry showers and to start the morning it is cold with

0:01:49 > 0:01:53frost and ice. I've got all the details coming up in 15 minutes.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Hopefully we can see Matt later.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Good morning.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00First, our main story.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02More details of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's forthcoming

0:02:02 > 0:02:04wedding are expected to be announced later today.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06The Archbishop of Canterbury has indicated the couple

0:02:06 > 0:02:09will have a church wedding, saying the pair had "chosen

0:02:09 > 0:02:12to make their vows to God" in a religious ceremony.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16The couple went public with their engagement yesterday.

0:02:16 > 0:02:25I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was confirmation

0:02:25 > 0:02:29to me that all the stars were aligned, everything was perfect.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33This beautiful woman tripped and fell into my life, I fell into her

0:02:33 > 0:02:40life. And the fact that she will be unbelievably good at the job part of

0:02:40 > 0:02:45it as well is obviously a huge relief to me because she will be

0:02:45 > 0:02:49able to deal with everything else that comes with it.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Let's talk about the wedding itself.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Our correspondent Ian Palmer is outside Buckingham Palace.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59It is on the front of all of the papers in the UK and I expect across

0:02:59 > 0:03:03the world in many places. We need more details about the wedding. Will

0:03:03 > 0:03:11we get some today?It won't be hard. We know very little about the plans

0:03:11 > 0:03:16so far. We know that it will be spring next year and little else. We

0:03:16 > 0:03:19are expecting some details later this afternoon. What could we find

0:03:19 > 0:03:24out? A date would be nice of course. The wedding couple would have to

0:03:24 > 0:03:28take into the fact that the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge are expecting

0:03:28 > 0:03:34their third child. Will it be before the third child is born, or after?

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Certainly from Kate and William's point of view it would be easier to

0:03:38 > 0:03:43look after two small children rather than three. If they delay it until

0:03:43 > 0:03:48May then the weather will be kind and the day even longer. The venue,

0:03:48 > 0:03:58where will it be? Will it be a small affair, like in the Guard's Chapel?

0:03:58 > 0:04:07Or will it be a grand affair in Westminster Abbey, or indeed St

0:04:07 > 0:04:12Paul's Cathedral? These are two people in their 30s, and of course

0:04:12 > 0:04:17they have a shared interest in humanitarian charitable work. They

0:04:17 > 0:04:21have collected a lot of people over the years. There will be many people

0:04:21 > 0:04:26they would like to invite.I am sure there will be. People are asking for

0:04:26 > 0:04:30invitations. Thank you. So many things we don't know. We will talk

0:04:30 > 0:04:37about it later.We will show you the papers later.It is just pictures

0:04:37 > 0:04:40basically of the royal couple.Yes, absolutely.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44New measures are to be introduced to reduce the number of deaths

0:04:44 > 0:04:46and serious injuries during childbirth in England.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48For the first time, parents of stillborn babies are to be

0:04:48 > 0:04:51routinely offered an independent investigation into what went wrong.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54The UK has already reduced the mortality rate for babies,

0:04:54 > 0:04:56but still lags behind many other European countries.

0:04:56 > 0:05:06Here's our health correspondent Dominic Hughes.

0:05:06 > 0:05:12Losing twins during pregnancy and then having baby Hugo very

0:05:12 > 0:05:16prematurely means Rachel understands all too well the challenges

0:05:16 > 0:05:21childbirth can present. Her experience has taught her that

0:05:21 > 0:05:25parents and medical staff need to be more aware of when things could go

0:05:25 > 0:05:31wrong.I think it is education of pregnant women to never be afraid to

0:05:31 > 0:05:35ask questions and raise concerns. And it is the medical establishment

0:05:35 > 0:05:39and encouraging them to do so.Now the Health Secretary in England is

0:05:39 > 0:05:42announcing rather than hospitals carrying out their own

0:05:42 > 0:05:46investigations when things go wrong and independent review will be

0:05:46 > 0:05:50carried out instead.When I talk to parents whose heart has been broken

0:05:50 > 0:05:53by something that has gone wrong in those very small numbers of cases,

0:05:53 > 0:05:58what they say is it is not about the money, they just want to know that

0:05:58 > 0:06:02the NHS has learned from what went wrong so that same mistake is not

0:06:02 > 0:06:07ever going to happen again.The UK lags behind many other European

0:06:07 > 0:06:11countries when it comes to preventing baby deaths and premature

0:06:11 > 0:06:15births. There are around nine stillborn babies every day. Roughly

0:06:15 > 0:06:2050 women still die in England each year from issues related to

0:06:20 > 0:06:27pregnancy. At around 50,000 babies are born prematurely. Progress is

0:06:27 > 0:06:31being made, but there are concerns that difficult lessons are not being

0:06:31 > 0:06:32learnt.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36The only airport on the Indonesian island of Bali has been closed

0:06:36 > 0:06:38for a second day amid concerns of a volcanic eruption.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Massive plumes of smoke and ash have been spewing out of Mount Agung over

0:06:42 > 0:06:44the past few days.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Earlier the BBC's Rebecca Henschke sent this report from

0:06:46 > 0:06:49near the volcano.

0:06:49 > 0:06:58Mount Agung is sending out thick clouds of ash,

0:06:58 > 0:07:00smoke, and gas, behind me, with increasing intensity.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04The airport here in Bali has been closed for a second day

0:07:04 > 0:07:06because of this threat of an imminent eruption

0:07:06 > 0:07:10from the volcano.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Last night, you could see a red glow in the crater,

0:07:13 > 0:07:16which we're told means that the lava and the molten rock has now

0:07:16 > 0:07:17reached the summit.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20People have been told to get out of an area,

0:07:20 > 0:07:2212-kilometre radius around the volcano, but people

0:07:22 > 0:07:25are still staying in their homes there.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Officials today are going to move in and forcibly take people out

0:07:28 > 0:07:29of this danger zone.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31At the moment, there are still farmers down below

0:07:31 > 0:07:34in their rice paddies, and the Balinese are still going

0:07:34 > 0:07:36about their life.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39They revere this mountain as a sacred site, but now they're

0:07:39 > 0:07:41watching it very carefully, and are on high alert

0:07:41 > 0:07:56for an imminent eruption.

0:07:56 > 0:08:02And a little later we will speak to an expert in volcanoes to find out.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06They cannot say for definite what is going to happen.The different from

0:08:06 > 0:08:12when at last erupted in the 1960s is there is a huge evacuation area.

0:08:12 > 0:08:18Still no idea as to when it might go boom.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20When it comes to aspiration and opportunity, England is becoming

0:08:20 > 0:08:22increasingly divided, according to a new report.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25The Social Mobility Commission says London and the south-east

0:08:25 > 0:08:27are still the best place for disadvantaged children

0:08:27 > 0:08:30to progress, while those in the Midlands and coastal areas

0:08:30 > 0:08:31have the least opportunities.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33The government has handed over its analysis of the impact

0:08:33 > 0:08:37of Brexit on parts of the economy, but the reports are not complete.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40The Brexit Secretary David Davis says the documents have been

0:08:40 > 0:08:42redacted to leave out commercially sensitive market information.

0:08:42 > 0:08:49But Labour are inisiting they should be given all the detail.

0:08:49 > 0:08:5111 British Overseas Territories are to receive £70 million

0:08:51 > 0:08:54of funding to help them rebuild after the recent hurricanes

0:08:54 > 0:08:55in the Carribean.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58The money is to be provided by the British government to help

0:08:58 > 0:08:59rebuild schools, hospitals and ports.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02The leaders of the territories are to meet Theresa May today

0:09:02 > 0:09:10to update her on the progress made so far.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15It was one of the UK's greatest conservation success stories.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Over 30 years, red kites went from the brink of extinction

0:09:19 > 0:09:21to being a common sight in many parts of the UK.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25But their recovery could be derailed because of poisoning by humans,

0:09:25 > 0:09:27according to research published in the European Journal of Wildlife

0:09:27 > 0:09:27Research.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Postmortem tests revealed thousands of the birds of prey died

0:09:30 > 0:09:32after consuming substances, including lead shots and pesticides.

0:09:32 > 0:09:46The RSPB has described the findings as a worrying development.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51Those are some of the main news stories today. If we look at the

0:09:51 > 0:09:56front pages, only one story in town. On the back pages, one of the topics

0:09:56 > 0:10:01is that thing.Yes. I have to say our top story was affected by the

0:10:01 > 0:10:05top story on the front of all the newspapers this morning. Harry and

0:10:05 > 0:10:16Meghan. Last night on the One Show, there was a big extravaganza, a big

0:10:16 > 0:10:19plan they devoted time on, then apparently there was a royal

0:10:19 > 0:10:25engagement. Quite a big interview. We had Gaby Logan racing through the

0:10:25 > 0:10:29nominees last night. A little bit more detail on that this morning.

0:10:29 > 0:10:35OK, good.Some clever people joining us in the studio in a virtual

0:10:35 > 0:10:42reality way. Don't get too excited. LAUGHTER. A little bit like Star

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Wars. Yes, anyway.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47So who will be this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year?

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Andy Murray lifted the trophy last Christmas,

0:10:49 > 0:10:51winning it for a record third time.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53The live ceremony is on December the 17th in Liverpool.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I'll have the list of this year's 12 candidates in around 20 minutes.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00England all-rounder Ben Stokes is apparently on his way Down Under,

0:11:00 > 0:11:02but not to join up with the Ashes squad.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06He was spotted at Heathrown airport but the ECB said he was flying

0:11:06 > 0:11:08to New Zealand to visit his family.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Jonny Bairstow won't face disciplinary action after he "bumped

0:11:10 > 0:11:12heads" with Australia's Cameron Bancroft a month ago.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14England's Director of Cricket Andrew Strauss said

0:11:14 > 0:11:17it was something Bairstow did with his rugby mates,

0:11:17 > 0:11:18but the players have effectively been grounded.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23The second Test begins in Adelaide on Saturday.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25The former England manager Sam Allardyce is the leading

0:11:25 > 0:11:26contender for the Everton job.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29He had been an early candidate to succeed Ronald Koeman,

0:11:29 > 0:11:37but publicly withdrew after Everton were slow to make an offer.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39That might now change.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Karen Carney has withdrawn from the England squad for today's

0:11:42 > 0:11:44World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan in Colchester

0:11:44 > 0:11:45after injuring an ankle.

0:11:45 > 0:11:50England have won their first two qualifiers.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Lots more detail on the nominees coming up in 20 minutes' time.Thank

0:11:54 > 0:12:01you. And details weather with Matt. I think it is going to get

0:12:01 > 0:12:02you. And details weather with Matt. I think it is going to get really

0:12:02 > 0:12:07cold, isn't it?Good morning. It is certainly cold this morning here.

0:12:07 > 0:12:13Good morning. We have not mentioned the C-word just yet. It is Christmas

0:12:13 > 0:12:20at the York Gardens. There are illuminated installations playing

0:12:20 > 0:12:24along with music surrounding the location in the grounds of a 13th

0:12:24 > 0:12:30century abbey. And these colourful balls will twinkle away through the

0:12:30 > 0:12:32forecast. Let's brighten up the forecast with your weather

0:12:32 > 0:12:38conditions today. If we look at the forecast, it will be bright for

0:12:38 > 0:12:42many, and quite cold, increasingly chilly wind across the country and

0:12:42 > 0:12:46showers around turning increasingly wintry later on. To start this

0:12:46 > 0:12:50morning in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, the Midlands, there

0:12:50 > 0:12:55will be ice around after overnight showers. A little frost elsewhere.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Showers at the moment mainly contained in the far north and west

0:12:58 > 0:13:04of the country. Most start the day dry with sunshine, and plenty to

0:13:04 > 0:13:07come through this morning. Through the day the wind will strengthen

0:13:07 > 0:13:11across eastern Scotland and England, showers become frequent across

0:13:11 > 0:13:15eastern counties through the afternoon, some of those will be

0:13:15 > 0:13:19sleet and snow, mainly over the hills to begin with, most places

0:13:19 > 0:13:22will have some rain and the odd rumble of thunder closer to the

0:13:22 > 0:13:27coast. Further inland, it will be dry. Much of the Midlands and

0:13:27 > 0:13:30southern England will stay dry through the day. Parts of East

0:13:30 > 0:13:35Midlands will have showers later. Showers on and off in south-east

0:13:35 > 0:13:39England, not as lengthy as yesterday -- south-west England. The same in

0:13:39 > 0:13:44Wales with gaps between them and sunshine. If anything, the showers

0:13:44 > 0:13:48will be fewer into the afternoon. Showers come and go through the day

0:13:48 > 0:13:53in Northern Ireland. Sunshine in between. And UK wide today,

0:13:53 > 0:13:58temperatures down on yesterday, at best around 4-7, maybe eight or nine

0:13:58 > 0:14:03in the far south. In the evening, showers inland will fade away. They

0:14:03 > 0:14:08continue across northern and eastern coasts and one or two across western

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Wales and south-west England. That will give the risk of ice through

0:14:12 > 0:14:16the night. It is frosty elsewhere and raw wind blowing into the start

0:14:16 > 0:14:20of Wednesday morning across eastern Scotland and eastern England.

0:14:20 > 0:14:25Eastern Scotland and England will see showers through the day. Some

0:14:25 > 0:14:29turning increasingly into sleet and snow even not just on the hills into

0:14:29 > 0:14:33the afternoon. Further west, west of Wales and south-west England most

0:14:33 > 0:14:37likely to see showers. Many other parts will be dry as you can see.

0:14:37 > 0:14:44And again temperatures drop and the wind starting to have even more of

0:14:44 > 0:14:49an impact. It will be an east- west split on Thursday. Eastern counties

0:14:49 > 0:14:53of England to the south-east and east Anglia by this stage might have

0:14:53 > 0:14:58the odd flurry of snow mixed in with rain. But it will be bitterly cold

0:14:58 > 0:15:02along the eastern areas. The wind will make it feel more like sub

0:15:02 > 0:15:06zero. So, yes, it will be a cold rump of weather but for some of you

0:15:06 > 0:15:11a good deal of sunshine over the next couple of days. Showers on the

0:15:11 > 0:15:15western fringes, the east of Scotland and parts of eastern

0:15:15 > 0:15:15western fringes, the east of Scotland and parts of eastern

0:15:15 > 0:15:20England too.I think everybody is lucky to watch at this time of the

0:15:20 > 0:15:24morning because the lights look spectacular. It will becoming

0:15:24 > 0:15:29lighter later, but they look perfect, don't they?Thank you. I am

0:15:29 > 0:15:34slightly mesmerised by those gorgeous globes. Shall we look at

0:15:34 > 0:15:41the pages. We mentioned they are slightly dominated. I think they are

0:15:41 > 0:15:49having a page off. 25 pages of unrivalled coverage over Harry and

0:15:49 > 0:15:55Meghan.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59The Daily Mail has a souvenir pullout.Yes, in the middle, and

0:15:59 > 0:16:07massive amount.We are fully covered with Harry and Megan.The Daily

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Telegraph, a mere 16 pages of coverage, again with a souvenir

0:16:11 > 0:16:16supplement. So many details in that interview they gave to the BBC last

0:16:16 > 0:16:20night. A rather wonderful interview. It was the details about the corgis

0:16:20 > 0:16:23liking the first time they met her, apparently they have been barking at

0:16:23 > 0:16:28Prince Harry for 33 years. From his point of view it was love at first

0:16:28 > 0:16:32sight. He proposed after they had had a roast chicken at home. That's

0:16:32 > 0:16:37nice.That is a great way to propose. Nobody says no after a

0:16:37 > 0:16:42roast chicken.You are not necessarily going to guess that that

0:16:42 > 0:16:47will be the moment, either.The one picture...I've got it.The close-up

0:16:47 > 0:16:53of the ring. Nobody really got a proper close-up.No, it is not very

0:16:53 > 0:16:57good. If you watch royal weddings, over the years, the close-up of the

0:16:57 > 0:17:01ring has always been a big part of the story, I suppose. There you go.

0:17:01 > 0:17:08That is her ring. A diamond that he wrought back from Botswana. And some

0:17:08 > 0:17:14of Diana, Princess of Wales' jewellery, included in that.I am

0:17:14 > 0:17:18looking for the pullout poster. There it is. If you are really into

0:17:18 > 0:17:22it all, you can put that on your office wall or your bedroom wall.On

0:17:22 > 0:17:31the refrigerator, maybe.You must have a double door refrigerator.

0:17:31 > 0:17:37Remember, we were talking to the relatives of the so-called Chennai

0:17:37 > 0:17:42Six, the sixth edition and who were jailed in India, and they were very

0:17:42 > 0:17:47optimistic when they were speaking to us on the sofa yesterday. -- six

0:17:47 > 0:17:51British men who were jailed in India. At we have good news, they

0:17:51 > 0:17:57will be back in time to Christmas. Brilliant stuff. I can see that

0:17:57 > 0:18:02Steph has a turkey.Yes, a paper one, not a real one. That would be

0:18:02 > 0:18:07awkward. Just carrying around chickens and turkeys, in case

0:18:07 > 0:18:11anybody wants to propose. We are talking about the Christmas dinner.

0:18:11 > 0:18:18It is a bit of bad news. Because we import so much food, and the fall in

0:18:18 > 0:18:21the value of the pound, it means our Christmas dinner will be more

0:18:21 > 0:18:26expensive this year. Just to give you an idea of the key components, a

0:18:26 > 0:18:30turkey will cost £1 more than last year, potatoes have gone up by about

0:18:30 > 0:18:35£1 as well. Brussels sprouts, who on earth like them? Well, they have

0:18:35 > 0:18:40gone up I 30p.You have to have some, just because.I say keep it

0:18:40 > 0:18:48clean. Go turkey, pigs in blankets, staffing. Done.No sprouts?Am I the

0:18:48 > 0:18:52only person here who will be buying sprouts?They are forced on me, to

0:18:52 > 0:18:57be honest.There is nothing you can do with a sprout that makes it nice.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01Adding bacon, honey, all those things...I had cheesy sprouts are a

0:19:01 > 0:19:07few years ago. Dear me.What kind of cheese?It took me until the new

0:19:07 > 0:19:16year to get rid of that. My word. My word!Cheesy sprouts!I have never

0:19:16 > 0:19:21been a fan of the sprout, and that cemented my troubles.Don't worry,

0:19:21 > 0:19:25nobody is listening. I'm sure nobody will pick up on that.I forgot I was

0:19:25 > 0:19:29on television for a moment.I know you did. I will rescue with this.

0:19:29 > 0:19:35Talk about naivete. The cricketers are being called naive now. Andrew

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Strauss, all of them, they have been told off for being naughty, they

0:19:39 > 0:19:43will have to stay in at night and not go out. I would think if you are

0:19:43 > 0:19:48on an Ashes tour, I know you are away for a long time and you want to

0:19:48 > 0:19:52have fun and experience to place you are in, but actually, shouldn't you

0:19:52 > 0:19:56be a little bit careful about going out to be bars that we talked about

0:19:56 > 0:20:00yesterday, and being seen?Stay in with a box set.Yes!You are away

0:20:00 > 0:20:05for a long time. You need a bit of fun.I know, I am joking. But the

0:20:05 > 0:20:09warning is the them to be more careful.I love that both of you are

0:20:09 > 0:20:13wearing hearts on your shirts.Yes, we have covered ourselves.It is

0:20:13 > 0:20:19almost as though we had a stylus. They said we were loses.Now, that

0:20:19 > 0:20:25was something I said in jest. And you have shared it with the nation.

0:20:25 > 0:20:31That is up there with Sproutgate, that.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Research by BBC Breakfast has discovered than an increasing number

0:20:34 > 0:20:37of parents of children with special needs are taking their local

0:20:37 > 0:20:40councils to tribunal, in order to get the right support

0:20:40 > 0:20:41for their child.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44The number of cases in England increased by nearly a third last

0:20:44 > 0:20:46year with parents winning 80% of cases.

0:20:46 > 0:20:53Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has more.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58Cruel, traumatic, heart-wrenching. Diane describes the process she has

0:20:58 > 0:21:02just gone through. Two years fighting to tribunal is to get the

0:21:02 > 0:21:06right support for her disabled daughter. Aaron was left with

0:21:06 > 0:21:12serious disabilities after being born prematurely. -- Erin. A

0:21:12 > 0:21:15statement, a legal document, outlined exactly what support Erin

0:21:15 > 0:21:20received. New legislation in 2014 meant Erin's statement had to be

0:21:20 > 0:21:22scrapped and turned into a new education, health and care plan.

0:21:22 > 0:21:28That is when their fight began.They have stripped out everything.All of

0:21:28 > 0:21:32Erin was make provision?Switch therapy, one, occupational

0:21:32 > 0:21:39therapy... All gone?All gone. They appealed the plan in October 2015.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44In May 2016 they lost at the tribunal, appealed again and in July

0:21:44 > 0:21:47this year won a new plan. You basically got everything back to

0:21:47 > 0:21:52her?Yes, and more.How can you summarise the process you have been

0:21:52 > 0:21:57through?I can't, I can't. It doesn't make sense, what we have

0:21:57 > 0:22:03been through, as a family, to get Erin needs and is entitled to. It

0:22:03 > 0:22:09does not make sense.Erin's Council, Redbridge, told us they made 1500

0:22:09 > 0:22:12decisions last year. Only 20 ended in tribunal. The reforms were

0:22:12 > 0:22:17designed to offer that is support for children but we found almost

0:22:17 > 0:22:223400 parents had to fight for that support last year.What it tells me

0:22:22 > 0:22:26is that there is a system which is under massive strain. Council simply

0:22:26 > 0:22:31do not have the money to give parents what they think their

0:22:31 > 0:22:34children deserve.This isn't what parents think their children

0:22:34 > 0:22:38deserve. This is what the law says children are entitled to. That is

0:22:38 > 0:22:43very different.Councils are doing their best to do that, in impossible

0:22:43 > 0:22:46financial circumstances. The law also says that councils cannot

0:22:46 > 0:22:50overspend their budget each year. The department for education told us

0:22:50 > 0:22:55they have given councils in extra $223 million -- £223 million in

0:22:55 > 0:22:59extra funding to help them introduce these reforms successfully. Many

0:22:59 > 0:23:04parents tell us that they too have had to pay. The cost of independent

0:23:04 > 0:23:07financial reports, lawyers and experts, emotional costs which

0:23:07 > 0:23:10cannot be quantified. Of course, there are many parents who cannot

0:23:10 > 0:23:14afford to pay anything.There are of course those situations where local

0:23:14 > 0:23:18authorities will come along to the hearing armed with a range of

0:23:18 > 0:23:20professional supporting their case, and that inevitably creates an

0:23:20 > 0:23:24inequality of arms.This can be a brutal experience. Many parents,

0:23:24 > 0:23:29like Deanne, will go through it more than once.It has taken every fibre

0:23:29 > 0:23:34in my body to fight. And I will never, ever give up, for what my

0:23:34 > 0:23:40daughter needs and is legally entitled to.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44And we were hearing about this yesterday, Jane. So many people

0:23:44 > 0:23:47getting in touch with so many different concerns. Let's talk

0:23:47 > 0:23:51specifically about this. It is a stark increase in the number of

0:23:51 > 0:23:54people taking them to tribunal? Let's go through the numbers we

0:23:54 > 0:23:59discovered with this data Mac. 28% increase, in England, in families

0:23:59 > 0:24:05taking their fight for provision to tribunal. How many of those cases

0:24:05 > 0:24:08are actually won by local authorities? Let's look at this

0:24:08 > 0:24:14number. Only one in five. That number tells us a story. Behind that

0:24:14 > 0:24:18number is another number which tells another story, because not all

0:24:18 > 0:24:22councils will take it, will fight to the bitter end. In many cases,

0:24:22 > 0:24:25councils are conceding, and they are saying, OK, we will not follow

0:24:25 > 0:24:29through with this. But the parents or withdraw this turmoil. Here is

0:24:29 > 0:24:33another number for you. The amount of money being spent by local

0:24:33 > 0:24:39authorities fighting these cases, at the very, very, very least it is £6

0:24:39 > 0:24:43million in the last five years, at the very least, because not all

0:24:43 > 0:24:48local authorities provided us with data Mac. -- data. We did go to

0:24:48 > 0:24:52Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to ask them for their data in all of

0:24:52 > 0:24:55these areas. Northern Ireland didn't give us anything. Scotland and Wales

0:24:55 > 0:24:59said. Interestingly they didn't show the same levels of conflict of these

0:24:59 > 0:25:04cases going to tribunal. Before anybody shouts at the television and

0:25:04 > 0:25:08says, why on earth are you not talking to us about that, we will

0:25:08 > 0:25:12be, later in the week. We will be doing a piece from Scotland later in

0:25:12 > 0:25:15the week, looking at why they do things differently. In England we

0:25:15 > 0:25:18have seen this sharp increase. The department of education said they

0:25:18 > 0:25:23survey the 13,000 people involved in this reform. Three quarters of those

0:25:23 > 0:25:26people said they thought the new plans were getting the health of

0:25:26 > 0:25:31their children.And I suppose, listening to you there, that is one

0:25:31 > 0:25:35of the reasons we decided to do this report through the week. As Louise

0:25:35 > 0:25:38was saying, so many families feel let down but are also articulating

0:25:38 > 0:25:42that yesterday, today...Honestly, honestly, my phone has not stopped

0:25:42 > 0:25:46ringing. Although yesterday, it didn't stop, with stories coming

0:25:46 > 0:25:49through from people. It affects so many people, which is why we are

0:25:49 > 0:25:53shining a light on this area. Tomorrow, big news if your family is

0:25:53 > 0:25:57affected by autism. We have been waiting a very long time, throughout

0:25:57 > 0:26:02the all-party parliamentary report, to learn more about autism services.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06We will have that exclusively from the Breakfast sofa tomorrow.I did

0:26:06 > 0:26:10an interview with David and Cary Grant about their children. It

0:26:10 > 0:26:15really gave me a very stark idea of what life is really like, living

0:26:15 > 0:26:18with and caring for children with autism.Yeah, it will be

0:26:18 > 0:26:23fascinating. Do keep joining the conversation. We really appreciated.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27And we will be reading out as many of those comments as we can through

0:26:27 > 0:26:31the programme.And you'll be back later?Yes, but if you are watching,

0:26:31 > 0:26:34government, we still want an interview with a government

0:26:34 > 0:26:38minister.Yes, we have been asking for several weeks. The invitation is

0:26:38 > 0:26:42still open.Yes.Whenever you like.

0:30:23 > 0:30:24temperatures feel a little bit colder.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

0:30:26 > 0:30:28in half an hour.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

0:30:39 > 0:30:41but also on Breakfast this morning:

0:30:41 > 0:30:45As tens of thousands of people are forced to leave their homes

0:30:45 > 0:30:48and hotels close to the Balinese volcano, we'll speak

0:30:48 > 0:30:54to a volcanologist about the impending eruption.

0:30:54 > 0:30:59It's the engagement talked about around the world,

0:30:59 > 0:31:02we'll compare the reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's

0:31:02 > 0:31:15upcoming marriage on both sides of the Atlantic.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17# She's walking on by...

0:31:17 > 0:31:20And we hear from Noel Gallagher about that song, "Don't Look Back

0:31:20 > 0:31:22in Anger", becoming an anthem of solidarity

0:31:22 > 0:31:24after the Manchester bombing.

0:31:24 > 0:31:25Good morning.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32More details of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding

0:31:32 > 0:31:33are expected to be announced today.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36The Archbishop of Canterbury has indicated the couple

0:31:36 > 0:31:38will have a church wedding, saying the pair had "chosen

0:31:38 > 0:31:41to make their vows to God" in a religious ceremony.

0:31:41 > 0:31:50The couple went public with their engagement yesterday.

0:31:50 > 0:31:55I don't think that I would call it a whirlwind in terms of our

0:31:55 > 0:31:58relationship, obviously there have been layers attached to how public

0:31:58 > 0:32:03it has become, after we had a good five, six months or most of just

0:32:03 > 0:32:09privacy, which was amazing. But no, I think we were able to really have

0:32:09 > 0:32:14so much time just to connect, and we never went longer than two weeks

0:32:14 > 0:32:18without seeing each other, even though we were obviously doing a

0:32:18 > 0:32:22long-distance relationship, so we made it work.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25New measures are to be introduced to reduce the number of deaths

0:32:25 > 0:32:27and serious injuries during childbirth in England.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30For the first time, parents of stillborn babies are to be

0:32:30 > 0:32:32routinely offered an independent investigation into what went wrong.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35The UK has already reduced the mortality rate for babies

0:32:35 > 0:32:40but still lags behind many other European countries.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43When it comes to aspiration and opportunity England is becoming

0:32:43 > 0:32:45increasingly divided according to a new report.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47The Social Mobility Commission says London and the south-east

0:32:47 > 0:32:49are still the best place for disadvantaged children

0:32:49 > 0:32:52to progress, while those in the Midlands and coastal areas

0:32:52 > 0:32:57have the least opportunities.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00The government has handed over its analysis of some

0:33:00 > 0:33:02of the economic impacts of Brexit, but the reports

0:33:02 > 0:33:03are missing some details.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06The Brexit Secretary David Davis says the documents have been

0:33:06 > 0:33:08redacted to leave out commercially sensitive market information.

0:33:08 > 0:33:17But Labour are insisting the public should be given all the detail.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21It's been one of the UK's greatest conservation success stories.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Over the last 30 years, red kites went from the brink

0:33:24 > 0:33:28of extinction to being a common sight in many parts of the UK.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31But their recovery could be derailed because of poisoning by humans,

0:33:31 > 0:33:33according to research published in the European Journal of Wildlife

0:33:33 > 0:33:34Research.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Postmortem tests on thousands of the birds of prey revelaed that

0:33:37 > 0:33:39many died after consuming substances, including lead

0:33:39 > 0:33:44shot and pesticides.

0:33:44 > 0:33:4611 British overseas territories are to receive £70 million

0:33:46 > 0:33:49of funding to help them rebuild after the recent hurricanes

0:33:49 > 0:33:50in the Carribean.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53The money is to be provided by the British government to help

0:33:53 > 0:33:54rebuild schools, hospitals and ports.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57The leaders of the territories are to meet Theresa May today

0:33:57 > 0:34:06to update her on the progress made so far.

0:34:06 > 0:34:11So, you are up-to-date with the latest news. Sally is here. I think

0:34:11 > 0:34:15she has brought some virtual friends.Look at what is going on

0:34:15 > 0:34:21behind us all.Cubes of doom. No, they are more like columns.An old

0:34:21 > 0:34:30microphone.Yes.It would take a while. Yes. It is that time of year,

0:34:30 > 0:34:35the nominees for the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year in

0:34:35 > 0:34:41Liverpool. Now we are used to Andy Murray winning it.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44They are world beaters and record breakers who have reached the top

0:34:44 > 0:34:47of their game and won some of the biggest

0:34:47 > 0:34:47sporting accolades going.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Between now and the 19th of December, 12 British sport

0:34:50 > 0:34:52legends are concentrated on just one thing,

0:34:52 > 0:34:56winning the public vote for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2017.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59The list was out last night, let's look at the runners and riders.

0:34:59 > 0:35:06Are you ready? I am excited about this.Oh, look, there is Mo.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08What a year it has been for Mo Farah.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11He retired from the track in style, didn't he?

0:35:11 > 0:35:14He won gold and silver in the 10,000 and 5,000 metres

0:35:14 > 0:35:17at the World Championships in London plus he became Sir Mo.

0:35:17 > 0:35:22He is also very tall.Yes, huge, in fact.

0:35:22 > 0:35:23Northern Ireland's Jonathan Rea made motorbike history

0:35:23 > 0:35:27in September when he became the first rider ever to win three

0:35:27 > 0:35:28successive World Superbike titles.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31Jonathan's dad - Johnny Rea - was a succesful road racer too.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34He got Jonathan involved racing when he was just five!

0:35:34 > 0:35:38He has done well for himself.He has done all right, hasn't it? Someone

0:35:38 > 0:35:39who is properly big.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43He stands tall at 6 foot 6, plays chess in his spare time

0:35:43 > 0:35:46and can also run the 100 metres in under 11 seconds.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48However, it was Anthony Joshua's world heavyweight title win

0:35:48 > 0:35:51against Wladimir Klitschko that really made the former bricklayer's

0:35:51 > 0:35:52name this year.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55Lewis Hamilton, we have had him here, became the most successful

0:35:55 > 0:35:57British F1 driver ever last month with four world

0:35:57 > 0:36:00titles to his name now.

0:36:00 > 0:36:06What you might not know, though, is that Lewis became vegan this year

0:36:06 > 0:36:11- he would love a cheesy Sprout! Oh, no, he wouldn't, because it has

0:36:11 > 0:36:18cheese. And he likes to write a unicycle - fun fact. Now, I bet this

0:36:18 > 0:36:21man can write a unicycle.

0:36:21 > 0:36:22Chris Froome won his fourth Tour de

0:36:22 > 0:36:25France title this year and the climbing specialist followed

0:36:25 > 0:36:28it up with a win at the Vuelta a Espana in September.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Froomey is the first British cyclist ever to win in Madrid.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34Adam Peaty's nan will be sat at home cheering because the 22-year-old

0:36:34 > 0:36:36swimmer also makes the shortlist.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Is she on the list?She should be! I bet she will be voting.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43He won breaststroke gold over both the 50 and 100-metre distances

0:36:43 > 0:36:45in the World Championships, smashing his own world record

0:36:45 > 0:36:49in the process, plus his nan Mavis made it to Hungary to cheer him on.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50Well done.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52No Andy Murray on this year's list but British tennis

0:36:52 > 0:36:54is still represented in Johanna Konta.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57The world number nine had an amazing Wimbledon, didn't she?

0:36:57 > 0:37:00She made it to the semi finals remember where she lost to Venus

0:37:00 > 0:37:00Williams.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04I wonder if she will be baking some of her famous muffins to bring

0:37:04 > 0:37:05to the ceremony?

0:37:05 > 0:37:13Of course.What, to try to wow? Exactly! Oh, and now, we have seen a

0:37:13 > 0:37:19lot of Johnny, haven't we, in Strictly Ballroom? He is in the

0:37:19 > 0:37:22hunt, he is on the list.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Before the ballroom this year, Peacock returned to the stadium

0:37:25 > 0:37:27where he enjoyed his famous 2012 triumphs to win

0:37:27 > 0:37:28another 100-metre gold.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31What an amazing year it has been for our female cricketers!

0:37:31 > 0:37:34They might have missed out on the Ashes but in July they won

0:37:34 > 0:37:36the World Cup on home turf.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39Vice-captain Anya Shrubsole took the crucial, final wicket in that

0:37:39 > 0:37:45fightback against India winning her a place on this shortlist.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48It has also been an amazing 12 months for this man,

0:37:48 > 0:37:48come on, move faster than that, Harry Kane.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52come on, move faster than that, Harry Kane.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55The Tottenham striker signed a new deal with the club,

0:37:55 > 0:37:58became a dad for the first time, scored hat

0:37:58 > 0:38:00trick after hat trick, including in the Champions League

0:38:00 > 0:38:02and won another Premier League golden boot.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06Could he follow it up with a win at Sports Personality of the Year?

0:38:06 > 0:38:06Chance.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Taekwondo heavyweight Bianca Walkden made up for disappointment in Rio

0:38:09 > 0:38:11in the best possible way this year by successfuly

0:38:11 > 0:38:13defending her World Championship title.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16Bianca, who is known in Team GB as Queen B,

0:38:16 > 0:38:19good reason, she was actually born in Liverpool where this year's award

0:38:19 > 0:38:20will be revealed.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23Last, but certainly not least, we turn to the ice and short

0:38:23 > 0:38:24track speed skating.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26Scotland's Elise Christie is currently gearing up

0:38:26 > 0:38:29for the Winter Olympics where she will be one of our big

0:38:29 > 0:38:32hopes after this year becoming the first European woman to win

0:38:32 > 0:38:34the 1,000 metre, 1,500 metre and overall titles

0:38:34 > 0:38:35at the world championships.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38The winner will be revealed at the BBC Sports Personality

0:38:38 > 0:38:41of the Year 2017 award ceremony in Liverpool on the 19th December.

0:38:41 > 0:38:46And you are going to be there as usual.Go on.Is it the end of the

0:38:46 > 0:38:50show? That is the short list, is it? That is the shortlist, yes. Hang on,

0:38:50 > 0:38:54I have some sports news to carry on with.OK. Will you be there on

0:38:54 > 0:38:58Monday morning?I am there on Sunday night and he on Monday morning. I

0:38:58 > 0:39:13will come straight here in my sparkly dress, shall I dothat? Yes.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16The ECB say Ben Stokes is visiting family in New Zealand and not

0:39:16 > 0:39:18heading to Australia, after he was apparently spotted

0:39:18 > 0:39:20flying out of Heathrow Airport.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Stokes has been suspended since he was was arrested

0:39:22 > 0:39:25in September on suspicion of actual bodily harm after an incident

0:39:25 > 0:39:27outside a nightclub but the investigation

0:39:27 > 0:39:28is still on-going.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Nothing's changed - we are expecting a decision at some stage. It is not

0:39:31 > 0:39:35our job to pressure the police. It is their job to get that right and,

0:39:35 > 0:39:39you know, when there is a charging decision, obviously we can move

0:39:39 > 0:39:42forward, but until we hear anything from them, we are stuck in this

0:39:42 > 0:39:49limbo period.The players need to sharpen up their act.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51After details of Jonny Bairstow's headbutt

0:39:51 > 0:39:54on Cameron Bancroft emerged, Strauss says Bairstow won't be

0:39:54 > 0:39:57disciplined and the "head bumping" is something he does all the time

0:39:57 > 0:39:59with his rugby mates -

0:39:59 > 0:40:01but the squad has effectively been grounded.

0:40:01 > 0:40:06And that is Sam Allardyce. I have just spotted that. We got so clever

0:40:06 > 0:40:12with all those people, we got the simple stuff wrong.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15The former England manager Sam Allardyce is back in the frame

0:40:15 > 0:40:17for the Everton job, and he's now the leading contender.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20He had been an early candidate to succeed Ronald Koeman,

0:40:20 > 0:40:23but publicly withdrew after Everton were slow to make an offer.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25His name is back in the frame.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Karen Carney has withdrawn from the England squad for today's

0:40:28 > 0:40:29World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan in Colchester

0:40:29 > 0:40:31after injuring an ankle.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33The Chelsea winger, who has been capped 134 times,

0:40:33 > 0:40:35joins Demi Stokes on the sidelines.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37England have won their first two qualifiers.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39And you can watch that game live on BBC Two,

0:40:39 > 0:40:40kickoff at 7:05am.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Wales also play tonight, away to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47And that really is all of the sports news.Well, I thought that was

0:40:47 > 0:40:52amazing. Thank you very much indeed. A very long shortlist.Sorry.That

0:40:52 > 0:41:00is all right. It is important to remind everybody.Yes.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03Let's talk about the volcano in Bali.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06There are increasing concerns this morning that a volcano

0:41:06 > 0:41:08on the Indonesian island of Bali may erupt, with authorities

0:41:08 > 0:41:11there evacuating the homes of 100,000 people in the area.

0:41:11 > 0:41:15Mount Agung has been sending dark clouds of ash into the air

0:41:15 > 0:41:17since last week, leading to the closure of the island's

0:41:17 > 0:41:20airport and stranding tens of thousands of travellers.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23When the volcano last erupted in 1963, people had just

0:41:23 > 0:41:24minutes to flee.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Lava flowed more than seven kilometres from the summit,

0:41:27 > 0:41:28killing more than 1500 people.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30The impact was global, with sulphur emissions

0:41:30 > 0:41:33from the eruption leading to a drop in worldwide temperatures

0:41:33 > 0:41:38of between 0.1 and 0.4 degrees celcius.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40So is it likely to happen again?

0:41:40 > 0:41:42We're joined by Professor Mike Burton, a volcanologist

0:41:42 > 0:41:46at The University of Manchester.

0:41:46 > 0:41:53Volcanologist.Oh, I thought it was, then I thought... Anyway. Thank you

0:41:53 > 0:41:59for joining us.Pleasure.Tell us what you think is going on at the

0:41:59 > 0:42:05moment.Well, as you mentioned, the 1963 eruption is a fair model of

0:42:05 > 0:42:09what we are using to see what could be expected from the volcano in the

0:42:09 > 0:42:16next few weeks and months. And in that case, it seemed that there was

0:42:16 > 0:42:20a sharper onset than in this case. This one seems to be a bit slower.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24The first activity that we saw was an increase in volcanic tremor two

0:42:24 > 0:42:27months ago and there was media interest in this volcano two months

0:42:27 > 0:42:32ago and then it went quiet. It is only in the last week as you said

0:42:32 > 0:42:36that the ashes were emitted. In the previous eruption in 1963 the onset

0:42:36 > 0:42:41was sharper which would suggest that the energy within the volcano at the

0:42:41 > 0:42:44moment may be somewhat less than that eruption.I am assuming that

0:42:44 > 0:42:48all volcanoes are individual and social what you're watching at the

0:42:48 > 0:42:53moment, I know that you are judging from what happened in the 1960s, you

0:42:53 > 0:42:56can't tell if it will erupt in a day, month, maybe even longer than

0:42:56 > 0:43:00that.A nice way to look at this is to say that corruption is don't

0:43:00 > 0:43:06repeat themselves, but they do rhyme, so the typical activity,

0:43:06 > 0:43:10style of activity will be similar, but the man in which it comes out

0:43:10 > 0:43:16with timing could be different. And this volcano, Agung, is extremely

0:43:16 > 0:43:20well studied. We have volcanologists who have studied it to see the last

0:43:20 > 0:43:245000 years of activity and that has shown that the typical level of the

0:43:24 > 0:43:29maximum eruptions are able to interact people around ten

0:43:29 > 0:43:32kilometres to 12 kilometres around the volcano, which is why the

0:43:32 > 0:43:36Indonesian authorities have evacuated that distance.So the

0:43:36 > 0:43:41impact is from lava flows, what is it from?It is multiple hazards. One

0:43:41 > 0:43:47of them is the lava flow - and in fact the next thing we might expect

0:43:47 > 0:43:53to happen is lava to come out. And because it is steep, 3000 metres

0:43:53 > 0:43:56height, ten kilometres from the coast, so there is a very sharp

0:43:56 > 0:44:00gradient, which means when the lava comes down it could fall down and

0:44:00 > 0:44:04that creates a hot avalanche, which causes a flow which can be very

0:44:04 > 0:44:09dangerous and go far out. It is not really the lava flow, it is the

0:44:09 > 0:44:13breaking lava flow which causes damage, together with mudflow that

0:44:13 > 0:44:17we have seen already from the ash deposited on the slopes of the

0:44:17 > 0:44:20volcano and heavy rain we get every day in the tropics that mobilises

0:44:20 > 0:44:28the Akhshtyr create mudflow.We have heard a couple of moments ago about

0:44:28 > 0:44:31the temperature change, what would happen locally to the environment

0:44:31 > 0:44:34and the global environment, the difference it might make?There is

0:44:34 > 0:44:39not going to be global impact unless it is bigger than at the moment. The

0:44:39 > 0:44:42ash plumes at the moment are three kilometres all four kilometres high

0:44:42 > 0:44:47at the most and that is quite less than what we saw in 1963. Everything

0:44:47 > 0:44:52is indicating this is lower in intensity than before. It won't be

0:44:52 > 0:44:56until a major explosion, which occurred a month after the lava flow

0:44:56 > 0:45:02began last time, so some time from now, if it were to occur, that we

0:45:02 > 0:45:06would be able to see anything which could have a climatic impact. It has

0:45:06 > 0:45:10to get above ten kilometres before it can impact the climate.You may

0:45:10 > 0:45:14not be the person to ask. We have seen flights disrupted. It is likely

0:45:14 > 0:45:19to continue if the Atkin Jim is.It depends on the direction of the wind

0:45:19 > 0:45:26entirely. It is going to the south-west

0:45:26 > 0:45:28entirely. It is going to the south-west. If it moves away, it

0:45:28 > 0:45:33will open up again.It is fascinating to talk to you and I am

0:45:33 > 0:45:39sure we will talk to you again because it is a long-term thing.

0:45:39 > 0:45:44Matthew is in York, with all sorts of colourful shiny stuff 19. That

0:45:44 > 0:45:48morning. -- behind him.

0:45:51 > 0:45:57Good morning! We are in the York Museum Gardens this morning. Ten

0:45:57 > 0:46:00acres of stunning botanical gardens during the daylight. At night, they

0:46:00 > 0:46:03have been trials formed into a cacophony of usable sound and

0:46:03 > 0:46:08colour. Numerous light installations here, all the way through to New

0:46:08 > 0:46:11Year's Day. A hind me are the musical Christmas trees. -- behind

0:46:11 > 0:46:17me. It is 6:45 a.m., so they have been muted. Are the ones that sound

0:46:17 > 0:46:21first thing in the morning, especially when I join in. -- nobody

0:46:21 > 0:46:27wants that sound. These will all be under blue skies once the lights

0:46:27 > 0:46:31turn off this morning and through the day. It will be a sunny day here

0:46:31 > 0:46:35in Yorkshire. Looking at the forecast for the rest of the UK, we

0:46:35 > 0:46:38have got a cold winds coming across the country which will bring

0:46:38 > 0:46:41increasing amounts of showers to eastern areas today, compare to what

0:46:41 > 0:46:45we saw yesterday. Still a few showers in the north and west. A bit

0:46:45 > 0:46:51of ice in the Scotland this morning, and we have showers of the Northern

0:46:51 > 0:46:55England and Wales. A bit of sleet and snow in the higher ground in the

0:46:55 > 0:46:59north to go with that. It is a bit of a frosty start to the Tuesday

0:46:59 > 0:47:03morning, and many will stay sunny throughout. Southern Scotland will

0:47:03 > 0:47:06farewell for sunshine, but Northern Ireland eastern areas, plenty of

0:47:06 > 0:47:10showers into the afternoon. Wintry not just the hills but in lower

0:47:10 > 0:47:15levels later on, and a brisk and raw winds down the eastern coast. In the

0:47:15 > 0:47:18eastern counties of England, particular in the north-east, that

0:47:18 > 0:47:23is also true. Even in York we could see a few showers later on after a

0:47:23 > 0:47:25sunny morning. North-western England not daring to badly. The West

0:47:25 > 0:47:30Midlands doing all right, but parts of the East Midlands could catch a

0:47:30 > 0:47:33shower later in the day. Much of southern England will stay dry.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36Dealing cold in the sunshine. Not as warm as it was yesterday.

0:47:36 > 0:47:41Temperatures have dropped across the UK, only eight or nine degrees at

0:47:41 > 0:47:46the best, instead of double figures. Most around 7- four Celsius. Still a

0:47:46 > 0:47:51few showers in Northern Ireland and western England, but not as many as

0:47:51 > 0:47:57we saw yesterday. The chance of some sunshine. Tonight showers and land

0:47:57 > 0:48:00will fade away. Some will continue around the coast across eastern and

0:48:00 > 0:48:04northern parts of the UK and maybe to western parts of Wales. Most will

0:48:04 > 0:48:14have a clear night. Where you see showers... (INAUDIBLE). Throughout

0:48:14 > 0:48:18the day, we will see a cold wind blowing today into tonight and into

0:48:18 > 0:48:23tomorrow. It will strengthen across eastern parts as well. A touch of

0:48:23 > 0:48:26gale force along the North Sea coast. On Wednesday many counties of

0:48:26 > 0:48:30the thinning and will be prone to showers, turning wintry across the

0:48:30 > 0:48:32north-east. Still some showers across the north-east of Scotland

0:48:32 > 0:48:36and some running down the far west of Wales and to Cornwall. Mostly a

0:48:36 > 0:48:40dry day, but a chilly one. The wind chill will become more noticeable,

0:48:40 > 0:48:43as it will do into Thursday. Thursday is much like Wednesday,

0:48:43 > 0:48:47with eastern parts most prone to showers. Even a few wintry showers,

0:48:47 > 0:48:51with a bit of sleet mixed into parts of East Anglia and the south-east by

0:48:51 > 0:48:55Thursday. Silvers showers in the far west. Most will have a dry day, but

0:48:55 > 0:49:00it will feel cold. Temperatures feeling more like -1 or -3 across

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Scotland and eastern England, especially in those strong to gale

0:49:03 > 0:49:07force winds. So we are into a cold spell, may be warming up a bit into

0:49:07 > 0:49:10the weekend. At overall, temperatures in the coming days

0:49:10 > 0:49:14remain lower than they should be for this time of year. At it all adds to

0:49:14 > 0:49:18that lovely crisp feeling as we head towards the beginning of winter.I

0:49:18 > 0:49:23just noticed your gloves. I think they are brilliant.Lovely and warm.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27Apologies for the interference on the line. We will be back later.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35We are talking about Turkey and trimmings, which are getting more

0:49:35 > 0:49:39expensive. Far more expensive than they have in later?

0:49:39 > 0:49:42I'm not surprised that you don't care about the sprouts, admitting

0:49:42 > 0:49:46that you hated is browse. I think you have made us all feel a little

0:49:46 > 0:49:52bit sick this morning. We will move on. Yes, we are talking about the

0:49:52 > 0:49:54price of your Christmas dinner.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57This is research from Good Housekeeping magazine,

0:49:57 > 0:50:00and they've been looking at costs across all the major supermarkets

0:50:00 > 0:50:02for 11 essentials, from mince pies to veg.

0:50:02 > 0:50:06This year Christmas dinner will set you back just under £3 per person.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09That's up about 50p on last year, when the same lunch would cost

0:50:09 > 0:50:11you just under £2.50 per person.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14The key ingredients on the rise are turkey, potatoes and parsnips.

0:50:14 > 0:50:17But there is some good news - your Christmas pudding should,

0:50:17 > 0:50:19on average, be a little cheaper.

0:50:19 > 0:50:32With us is retail analyst Phil Durrell.

0:50:32 > 0:50:37And good morning. Lovely to see you. Can you explain why food prices are

0:50:37 > 0:50:42going up generally?Well, food prices are generally going up simply

0:50:42 > 0:50:46because of what is happening with inflation. We have lots of pressure

0:50:46 > 0:50:52on inflation, three major ones. One of them is the UK Sterling, the

0:50:52 > 0:50:55value against the euro and against the US dollar is reducing. Labour

0:50:55 > 0:51:02costs are escalating. And there is additional costs for retailers,

0:51:02 > 0:51:08servicing their retail estate. This adds to costs for retailers.Explain

0:51:08 > 0:51:13that a bit more. It is the fact that we import lots of food, don't we? So

0:51:13 > 0:51:17when the currency isn't as high, it means it costs us more money to

0:51:17 > 0:51:20bring it in?Absolutely. The ingredients and products that we are

0:51:20 > 0:51:24selling are costing us more money in foreign markets. Even those products

0:51:24 > 0:51:27that we are making or producing in the UK, they are costing more,

0:51:27 > 0:51:32because the labour costs are going up.Why?There are lots of ushers on

0:51:32 > 0:51:37labour costs, simply because of the additional national living wage,

0:51:37 > 0:51:44which has escalated it. -- lots of pressures. The reduction in labour

0:51:44 > 0:51:47force, as unemployment reduces, the amount of labour that is available

0:51:47 > 0:51:53becomes less, and therefore people pay a little bit more to get the

0:51:53 > 0:51:56people they want.And can you tell us about the third reason?That is

0:51:56 > 0:52:00about the cost of property, et cetera. Servicing property. If

0:52:00 > 0:52:07everything goes up regarding deliveries, rates, rental

0:52:07 > 0:52:13properties, -- rent on properties, the retailers are currently putting

0:52:13 > 0:52:17out onto the customer. They add that onto the price of the product.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21Generally, what happened last year was that they were facing lots of

0:52:21 > 0:52:25pressures. What it was a difficult Christmas for them. What's of them

0:52:25 > 0:52:29said, they didn't want to put any prices up, at this point in time,

0:52:29 > 0:52:32they wanted to keep it low. Going into Christmas, the most important

0:52:32 > 0:52:36period for them, they wanted to maintain low prices. This year they

0:52:36 > 0:52:40have taken a different tack and have said, we are going to put those

0:52:40 > 0:52:45prices up. Inflation has been running at about 3- 5% on food all

0:52:45 > 0:52:49through the year. We have seen that reaching its peak as it is now. Last

0:52:49 > 0:52:54year, you talked about potatoes. Last year potatoes were 29p. That is

0:52:54 > 0:53:00a fantastic price for potatoes. This year they are £1.49, still not about

0:53:00 > 0:53:05price, but it looks bad based on last year.You mentioned, you think

0:53:05 > 0:53:08that it has peaked. Do you think we will see prices starting to fall

0:53:08 > 0:53:13next year? What are your thoughts on that?Unfortunately, I said last

0:53:13 > 0:53:18year, I said that we are probably just about to start our last cheap

0:53:18 > 0:53:23Christmas. And I think that is right. I think this you will be more

0:53:23 > 0:53:26expensive than last year. I think next year we will escalate as it

0:53:26 > 0:53:30goes through the, as uncertainty in the pound and uncertainty with what

0:53:30 > 0:53:35happens with Brexit means that prices will inevitably rise. It is

0:53:35 > 0:53:40just going to get, unfortunately, a bit sad.Will you ever eat cheesy

0:53:40 > 0:53:43sprouts? That is the question.I don't think anybody does.Daniel

0:53:43 > 0:53:49Walker does.I don't eat them any more. My point earlier was, to

0:53:49 > 0:53:53reduce the cost of the Christmas dinner, you take sprouts out of the

0:53:53 > 0:53:59occasion. But the sprouts club have hit back. One viewer says, they are

0:53:59 > 0:54:03crucial on Boxing Day bubble and squeak. Another says, mashed and

0:54:03 > 0:54:07with butter and pepper and they are perfect. Another says, with a

0:54:07 > 0:54:10contentious parts they are a staple of the Christmas dinner.See? You

0:54:10 > 0:54:14are missing out.What about this, have you tried serving them with a

0:54:14 > 0:54:18marmite glaze. No! This year I will be having mini sprouts, says Rob.

0:54:18 > 0:54:23These. I can join the people.Thank you, sprouts club.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25It's been quite a year for Noel Gallagher.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28His song Don't Look Back in Anger became an anthem of solidarity

0:54:28 > 0:54:29after the Manchester bomb.

0:54:29 > 0:54:32He's turned 50 and relations with his brother Liam have reached

0:54:32 > 0:54:33an all-time low.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35He's been talking to our entertainment correspondent

0:54:35 > 0:54:38Colin Paterson about his new album but also giving his opinions

0:54:38 > 0:54:40on Jeremy Corbyn, tattoos, his brother and baldness

0:54:40 > 0:54:44along the way.

0:54:49 > 0:54:53We meet just after the midweek charts, and you are heading up to

0:54:53 > 0:54:57number one with the album Who Builds the Moon. How much do things like

0:54:57 > 0:55:01that still matter to you?I guess it is nice, it is better than being

0:55:01 > 0:55:05number two.It strikes me as a joyful Arbon.What is going on? I

0:55:05 > 0:55:09guess I was on a voyage of discovery. I have written any of the

0:55:09 > 0:55:14songs before I went in.Be careful what you wish for on the album is a

0:55:14 > 0:55:17song about you giving advice to your children. You have three kids. What

0:55:17 > 0:55:21is the hardest part about parenting? The hardest part, for me, is to be a

0:55:21 > 0:55:26responsible parent. I would be let in each chocolate and chips for

0:55:26 > 0:55:29breakfast. My 17-year-old daughter is brilliant. Showers very, very

0:55:29 > 0:55:36cool. Showers not in any way... Showers not a problem yet. She did

0:55:36 > 0:55:39get tattoos without saying anything, and I was a bit disappointed in

0:55:39 > 0:55:46that.What were they?It was all right, one of them was my face. They

0:55:46 > 0:55:51were the brothers' initials on her hands, which is kind of a bit of a

0:55:51 > 0:55:54snide way of getting in through the backdoor, I've these tattoos. I was

0:55:54 > 0:55:58like, what? Then she showed me and I thought, well, that's cute, isn't

0:55:58 > 0:56:04it. But no more!The timing of the album has been interesting, coming

0:56:04 > 0:56:10one month after your brother's. What was your reaction when his album

0:56:10 > 0:56:14went to number one. Did you send him a message of congratulations?I did

0:56:14 > 0:56:20indeed. Yes, a did. No, I didn't. I didn't.Why would I? One of the big

0:56:20 > 0:56:24news events of the year was the Manchester bomb.It was dreadful. It

0:56:24 > 0:56:28made me feel so angry and continues to make me feel so angry. It was

0:56:28 > 0:56:39brutal.How did it feel, for Don't Look Back In Anger to become such a

0:56:39 > 0:56:42song of solidarity?At that time, you know, politicians' words were

0:56:42 > 0:56:47meaningless, alleges leaders' words were meaningless, the experts on the

0:56:47 > 0:56:50news, what they said was meaningless. And that one girl, she

0:56:50 > 0:56:54sang that song and the people rallied around that song. And as a

0:56:54 > 0:56:59songwriter, not even the fact that it is my song, if it was a song, it

0:56:59 > 0:57:02would have reaffirmed my belief in the power of music and what it means

0:57:02 > 0:57:07to people.You turned 50 this year. How are you finding it?If my 50s

0:57:07 > 0:57:10are half as good as my 40s, professionally and privately, then

0:57:10 > 0:57:15I'm going to be doing all right.Is your body telling you you are 50?

0:57:15 > 0:57:19No, no, I am all right. As long as this is here, no offence, but as

0:57:19 > 0:57:23long as this is thriving, which it is... Get a close-up of that.That

0:57:23 > 0:57:28is thorough. How would you feel if you went gold?I don't know what I

0:57:28 > 0:57:32would do. I would definitely retire from music, that is to shore. And it

0:57:32 > 0:57:35wants to see a ball that Jagger.

0:57:35 > 0:57:40I think Colin took that quite well. Good morning to all our bald

0:57:40 > 1:01:05viewers. Nor Gallagher's new album

1:01:05 > 1:01:06in half an hour.

1:01:06 > 1:01:08Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

1:01:08 > 1:01:09Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

1:01:10 > 1:01:12Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:01:12 > 1:01:15The royal wedding - we should find out more

1:01:15 > 1:01:16details later today.

1:01:16 > 1:01:18Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to get married

1:01:18 > 1:01:19in a church.

1:01:19 > 1:01:22We should find out the venue and date later.

1:01:22 > 1:01:24And we'll be live outside Buckingham Palace getting

1:01:24 > 1:01:27all the latest and we'll also be finding out how

1:01:27 > 1:01:38the United States is reacting.

1:01:38 > 1:01:41Good morning.

1:01:41 > 1:01:47It's Tuesday, November 28.

1:01:47 > 1:01:50Also this morning: A huge jump in the number of parents fighting

1:01:50 > 1:01:52to get educational support for their children.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55There's been a 28% increase in the last year alone.

1:01:55 > 1:01:58It has taken every fibre in my body to fight,

1:01:58 > 1:02:01and I will never, ever give up for what my daughter needs

1:02:01 > 1:02:13and is legally entitled to.

1:02:13 > 1:02:18Good morning. We are going to find out how the banks would cope if we

1:02:18 > 1:02:22were hit by another financial crisis. The Bank of England is

1:02:22 > 1:02:26revealing the latest stress tests - I will have the results.

1:02:26 > 1:02:29In sport, who will be the BBC Sports Personality of the Year?

1:02:29 > 1:02:32Last Christmas, Andy Murray won it for a record third time.

1:02:32 > 1:02:35I'll have the list of this year's 12 candidates just after 7:30am.

1:02:35 > 1:02:38And Matt is out and about with the weather.

1:02:38 > 1:02:40Good morning.

1:02:40 > 1:02:45I am among the twinkling lights at the York Museum Gardens, with a

1:02:45 > 1:02:48twinkle of frost around. It is a cold start to your Tuesday morning

1:02:48 > 1:02:52with more sunshine but showers around eastern areas today and over

1:02:52 > 1:02:54the next few days.

1:02:54 > 1:02:56I've got all the details coming up in 15 minutes.

1:02:56 > 1:02:57It looks lovely, thank you.

1:02:57 > 1:02:58Good morning.

1:02:58 > 1:03:00First, our main story.

1:03:00 > 1:03:02More details of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's forthcoming

1:03:02 > 1:03:04wedding are expected to be announced later today.

1:03:04 > 1:03:07The Archbishop of Canterbury has indicated the couple

1:03:07 > 1:03:09will have a church wedding, saying the pair had "chosen

1:03:09 > 1:03:12to make their vows to God" in a religious ceremony.

1:03:12 > 1:03:16The couple went public with their engagement yesterday.

1:03:16 > 1:03:19I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly,

1:03:19 > 1:03:21was confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned,

1:03:21 > 1:03:22everything was perfect.

1:03:22 > 1:03:25This beautiful woman tripped and fell into my life,

1:03:25 > 1:03:26I fell into her life.

1:03:26 > 1:03:30And the fact that she will be unbelievably good at the job part

1:03:30 > 1:03:33of it as well is obviously a huge relief to me,

1:03:33 > 1:03:36because she will be able to deal with everything else that

1:03:36 > 1:03:49comes with it.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52So much information from the interview, including the engagement

1:03:52 > 1:03:54happened after they had roast chicken for dinner.

1:03:54 > 1:03:57Our correspondent Ian Palmer is outside Buckingham Palace.

1:03:57 > 1:04:02We know lots of details, but there are more to come. What will we learn

1:04:02 > 1:04:07today?Well, hopefully, Louise, we will hear when the wedding is

1:04:07 > 1:04:12supposed to be. We already know that, of course, it is going to be

1:04:12 > 1:04:17next spring, but there is a royal baby scheduled in April. Will the

1:04:17 > 1:04:23wedding be before the baby is born, or will it be after? From Kate and

1:04:23 > 1:04:28William's point of view it would be easier to look for two small

1:04:28 > 1:04:33children at a wedding, rather than three, and if the couple hold their

1:04:33 > 1:04:37wedding in May the weather should be a little more kind and of course the

1:04:37 > 1:04:42day Albert or longer. We should hear where the venue is. Will it be a

1:04:42 > 1:04:48grand affair, something modest? If it is the latter, it could be at the

1:04:48 > 1:04:52Guard's Chapel a short walk from the awesome and George's Chapel in

1:04:52 > 1:04:55Windsor. If it is a grand affair than the obvious candidates are

1:04:55 > 1:05:02Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral. The money is on the grand

1:05:02 > 1:05:06affair because these are two people in love who are in their 30s, they

1:05:06 > 1:05:10have a shared common interest in humanitarian and charity work, they

1:05:10 > 1:05:14have collected lots of people over the years and they will want to

1:05:14 > 1:05:18invite many people.Ian, thank you very much indeed, and so many

1:05:18 > 1:05:23details emerged with that interview with Michelle from the BBC

1:05:23 > 1:05:27yesterday, and I like the little details, like the corgis.They were

1:05:27 > 1:05:32more open than I thought they would be.Yes, he said 30 years of being

1:05:32 > 1:05:38barked at.They loved Meghan, who of course has her own dogs as well.And

1:05:38 > 1:05:42all sorts of souvenir editions, posters, page after page after page,

1:05:42 > 1:05:49the Daily Mirror, she tripped and fell into my life, in the paper

1:05:49 > 1:05:52yesterday and they have a secret, well, not a secret, and Meghan for

1:05:52 > 1:05:57you if you if you like that sort of thing.The Daily Telegraph, it is

1:05:57 > 1:06:02not often when the Daily Telegraph does a whole front-page photograph,

1:06:02 > 1:06:08but that is the Telegraph. "She Is the one" on the Sun and another

1:06:08 > 1:06:12souvenir edition.Disappointed with the Daily Mail, the Sun have 25

1:06:12 > 1:06:20pages, the Daily Mail have 24 pages, only 24, yes, the stars were

1:06:20 > 1:06:25aligned. They have photos, everything.She is American. We will

1:06:25 > 1:06:29speak with our correspondent in America to see how they are reacting

1:06:29 > 1:06:34to the news as well.If you are one of those people who is fed up with a

1:06:34 > 1:06:38royal news, we have plenty of other news to bring you and over the next

1:06:38 > 1:06:41couple of days as well. Let's get to the other stories this morning.

1:06:41 > 1:06:45New measures are to be introduced to reduce the number of deaths

1:06:45 > 1:06:47and serious injuries during childbirth in England.

1:06:47 > 1:06:50For the first time, parents of stillborn babies are to be

1:06:50 > 1:06:52routinely offered an independent investigation into what went wrong.

1:06:52 > 1:06:55The UK has already reduced the mortality rate for babies,

1:06:55 > 1:06:57but still lags behind many other European countries.

1:06:57 > 1:07:06Here's our health correspondent Dominic Hughes.

1:07:06 > 1:07:08Losing twins during pregnancy, and then having baby Hugo very

1:07:08 > 1:07:10prematurely, means Rachel understands all too well

1:07:10 > 1:07:14the challenges childbirth can present.

1:07:14 > 1:07:18Her experience has taught her that parents and medical staff need to be

1:07:18 > 1:07:24more aware of when things could go wrong.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27I think it's education of pregnant women to never be afraid to ask

1:07:27 > 1:07:32questions and raise concerns.

1:07:32 > 1:07:34And it's also the medical establishment in encouraging them

1:07:34 > 1:07:35to do so.

1:07:35 > 1:07:38Now, the Health Secretary in England is announcing rather than hospitals

1:07:38 > 1:07:41carrying out their own investigations when things go wrong

1:07:41 > 1:07:44an independent review will be carried out instead.

1:07:44 > 1:07:48When I talk to parents whose heart has been broken by something that

1:07:48 > 1:07:50has gone wrong in those very small numbers of cases,

1:07:50 > 1:07:54what they say is it is not about the money, they just

1:07:54 > 1:07:57want to know that the NHS has learned from what went wrong

1:07:57 > 1:08:04so that the same mistakes won't ever going to happen again.

1:08:04 > 1:08:07The UK lags behind many other European countries when it comes

1:08:07 > 1:08:08to preventing baby deaths and premature births.

1:08:08 > 1:08:11There are around nine stillborn babies every day.

1:08:11 > 1:08:14Roughly 50 women still die in England each year from issues

1:08:14 > 1:08:14related to pregnancy.

1:08:14 > 1:08:16And around 50,000 babies are born prematurely.

1:08:16 > 1:08:19Progress is being made, but there are concerns that

1:08:19 > 1:08:32difficult lessons are not being learnt.

1:08:32 > 1:08:36Seven of our biggest banks have been put to the test by the Bank

1:08:36 > 1:08:38of England today to see how they'd cope

1:08:38 > 1:08:39in another financial crisis.

1:08:39 > 1:08:42Steph's got the results.

1:08:42 > 1:08:48They are called stress tests.Yes, exactly as you put it. The Bank of

1:08:48 > 1:08:52England will put our banks in various scenarios and they have

1:08:52 > 1:08:56looked at things like whether they can cope with suffering major losses

1:08:56 > 1:09:01on profit and loss sheets, whether they can cope with the sterling

1:09:01 > 1:09:05falling against its lowest level against the dollar, whether they can

1:09:05 > 1:09:08cope with unemployment rising to when it was backing the financial

1:09:08 > 1:09:12crisis, and whether we can cope with interest rates rising to 4%. And the

1:09:12 > 1:09:16good news is they said this morning that our banks are three times

1:09:16 > 1:09:21stronger than ten years ago.That is good news.Excellent news and

1:09:21 > 1:09:25stronger means they have money in the coffers if things go wrong. So,

1:09:25 > 1:09:29if things were as bad as they were in the financial crisis, they would

1:09:29 > 1:09:34still be able to lend us money, they would still be able to carry on as

1:09:34 > 1:09:37normal. Lots of people talked about Brexit and the uncertainty that has

1:09:37 > 1:09:41created as well. So as part of this the Bank of England has tested them

1:09:41 > 1:09:45on that as well and they have said this morning that the banks can

1:09:45 > 1:09:53support the economy through a wide range of Brexit outcomes. So what

1:09:53 > 1:09:56they are saying is overall our banking system is resilient at the

1:09:56 > 1:10:00moment. So they are suggesting that no matter what Brexit throws at us

1:10:00 > 1:10:04the banking system will still be able to cope, which is really good

1:10:04 > 1:10:07news because we are an economy driven heavily by what goes on in

1:10:07 > 1:10:11financial services. We saw ten years ago when it was the financial crisis

1:10:11 > 1:10:15how much chaos it caused and that is why this has been going on to make

1:10:15 > 1:10:19sure the banks have enough money to cope if things go wrong.Thank you

1:10:19 > 1:10:23for a little bit of good news.Your Christmas dinner might be going up,

1:10:23 > 1:10:26but the banks can cope if things go wrong.Excellent to hear.

1:10:26 > 1:10:29The only airport on the Indonesian island of Bali has been closed

1:10:29 > 1:10:32for a second day amid concerns of a volcanic eruption.

1:10:32 > 1:10:36Massive plumes of smoke and ash have been spewing out of Mount Agung over

1:10:36 > 1:10:37the past few days.

1:10:37 > 1:10:40Officials have raised the alert to the highest level and are evacuating

1:10:40 > 1:10:51the homes of up to 100,000 people who live close to the volcano.

1:10:51 > 1:10:54The government has handed over its analysis of some

1:10:54 > 1:10:56of the economic impacts of Brexit, but the reports

1:10:56 > 1:10:57are missing some details.

1:10:57 > 1:11:00The Brexit Secretary David Davis says the documents have been

1:11:00 > 1:11:02redacted to leave out commercially sensitive market information.

1:11:02 > 1:11:05But Labour are insisting the public should be given all the detail.

1:11:05 > 1:11:08It was one of the UK's greatest conservation success stories.

1:11:08 > 1:11:11Over 30 years, red kites went from the brink of extinction

1:11:11 > 1:11:14to being a common sight in many parts of the UK.

1:11:14 > 1:11:17But their recovery could be derailed because of poisoning by humans,

1:11:17 > 1:11:20according to research published in the European Journal of Wildlife

1:11:20 > 1:11:20Research.

1:11:20 > 1:11:23Postmortem tests revealed thousands of the birds of prey died

1:11:23 > 1:11:24after consuming substances, including lead shots and pesticides.

1:11:25 > 1:11:27Despite efforts to close gaps in income and opportunity,

1:11:27 > 1:11:30it seems how well you do in life still depends

1:11:30 > 1:11:32on where in the country you live.

1:11:32 > 1:11:35Londoners continue to have the best chance of progression in life,

1:11:35 > 1:11:37while many rural, coastal and former industrial areas

1:11:37 > 1:11:41are being left behind.

1:11:41 > 1:11:43Alan Milburn is the chair of the Social Mobility Commission

1:11:43 > 1:11:50and joins us from our London newsroom.

1:11:50 > 1:11:55Good morning. Thank you for your time this morning. Remind us in this

1:11:55 > 1:12:00context, what does social mobility mean?The chances of getting on in

1:12:00 > 1:12:04life not correlating with where you start out, so if you have high

1:12:04 > 1:12:08social mobility, then the status and income of your parents is different

1:12:08 > 1:12:12from the status and income that you will get in life and what we want to

1:12:12 > 1:12:16see are the higher levels of social mobility so that your aptitude and

1:12:16 > 1:12:20ability rather than your birth or background determines where you get

1:12:20 > 1:12:24to in life.The quote from the report that jumps out is "The

1:12:24 > 1:12:30country is in the grip of a self reinforcing spiral of ever-growing

1:12:30 > 1:12:35division" - you seem to paint quite a grim picture. Why is it so bad?

1:12:35 > 1:12:40The product of two things, geography partially and opportunity, so when

1:12:40 > 1:12:45we have looked at this, in the past there has always been the idea of a

1:12:45 > 1:12:50north- south divide, it is more complex than that. There is a social

1:12:50 > 1:12:53mobility postcode lottery where your chances of getting on depend on

1:12:53 > 1:12:57where you are born and where you live. London is steaming ahead,

1:12:57 > 1:13:02looking and feeling like a different country from the rest of the nation.

1:13:02 > 1:13:07Meanwhile, too many coastal towns in rural areas and places that are

1:13:07 > 1:13:10former industrial areas in the Midlands are being left behind

1:13:10 > 1:13:14economically and hollowed out socially. If it goes on like that we

1:13:14 > 1:13:18will have an ever greater divide in our country.It is interesting you

1:13:18 > 1:13:22mentioned this now, because virtually the same source of

1:13:22 > 1:13:27findings in the report from 2013 as well, you said long-standing

1:13:27 > 1:13:30regional imbalances, London forging ahead while other regions of

1:13:30 > 1:13:34struggle, that was a quote from four years ago. Is the government not

1:13:34 > 1:13:38listening, do you not have enough clout, will we continue to see the

1:13:38 > 1:13:41change and the difference between London and other parts of the UK?

1:13:41 > 1:13:46Well, let's hope not. This is not either inevitable or unsolvable. If

1:13:46 > 1:13:51you think back 20 years ago, we would probably be discussing

1:13:51 > 1:13:55lamenting the fact that London state schools were among the worst in the

1:13:55 > 1:14:02country. Now they are the best. In fact if you are a disadvantage young

1:14:02 > 1:14:06star, your chances of going to uni are twice as high as other parts of

1:14:06 > 1:14:09the country. So it can be sold. It can't be solved however through

1:14:09 > 1:14:15words. It needs deeds. There is word in the government about healing

1:14:15 > 1:14:18division and promoting social justice. But right now heads are

1:14:18 > 1:14:22consumed by Brexit. Understandably. And it doesn't seem to have the

1:14:22 > 1:14:26headspace to inject the necessary energy or focus into addressing

1:14:26 > 1:14:31these issues. What is needed is a plan for doing so in that plan in

1:14:31 > 1:14:37the end will have to find ways to read Christie Bute opportunity in

1:14:37 > 1:14:40employment, education and housing fairly across the country.The

1:14:40 > 1:14:43government would say they are progressing in areas with more

1:14:43 > 1:14:47children going to outstanding or good primary schools, record numbers

1:14:47 > 1:14:50attending university, the national living wage is boosting wages, but

1:14:50 > 1:14:55that seems at odds with what you are saying.Yes, though there are good

1:14:55 > 1:15:01initiatives, for example what the education Secretary has done to put

1:15:01 > 1:15:05money into areas with poor attainment in education, so they're

1:15:05 > 1:15:09a good pieces, but overall there is not a frame or a shape and there

1:15:09 > 1:15:14isn't a national plan. So to take one example, the way public spending

1:15:14 > 1:15:17is distributed is exacerbating the divide rather than narrowing it.

1:15:17 > 1:15:21London to head of population gets a three times as much in transport

1:15:21 > 1:15:26spending as some of the Moora Mozart of the country, the East Midlands,

1:15:26 > 1:15:30north-east, the south-west, so I know it is difficult to redistribute

1:15:30 > 1:15:34opportunity and free distribute resources. If we want a fair

1:15:34 > 1:15:39country, a genuinely in united kingdom, that is what has to be

1:15:39 > 1:15:43grasped.It is good to talk to you this morning. Thank you. Really

1:15:43 > 1:15:47interesting.

1:15:47 > 1:15:50Matthew has the weather in York. It is looking magical. Those lights are

1:15:50 > 1:15:52fantastic.

1:15:55 > 1:16:00Good morning! It is one of those mornings why wish it could stay dark

1:16:00 > 1:16:04a bit longer. The botanical Gardens here, around the York Museum

1:16:04 > 1:16:10Gardens, they are all emanated in the run-up to Christmas. Elimination

1:16:10 > 1:16:13in this installation in place until the first of January. Many are

1:16:13 > 1:16:17eliminated to best effect. Clear skies above us in York at the moment

1:16:17 > 1:16:22led to a chilly start. If we look at the forecast for today, it is a cold

1:16:22 > 1:16:26start UK wide. Cold air with us for the rest of the working week.

1:16:26 > 1:16:29Morning frosts becoming more common. Sunshine and showers around the

1:16:29 > 1:16:33periphery of the UK. Increasingly so in the eastern parts of Scotland and

1:16:33 > 1:16:37eastern England over the next few days. Parts of northern Scotland,

1:16:37 > 1:16:45Northern Ireland and Wales, just be careful. It will be a bit icy. A bit

1:16:45 > 1:16:49of frost here and there. Many beginning the day dry. You can see

1:16:49 > 1:16:52the showers in Northern Ireland western areas to begin with, and in

1:16:52 > 1:16:55the afternoon, eastern Scotland and eastern England begin to see them.

1:16:55 > 1:16:59The showers across Scotland, sleet and snow over the hills, even

1:16:59 > 1:17:01flurries down to lower levels in the heavier showers. Southern Scotland

1:17:01 > 1:17:05stays largely dry. Much of north-west England having a bright

1:17:05 > 1:17:08day. East of the Pennines, expert showers in the afternoon. A cold

1:17:08 > 1:17:13wind developing as well. The breeze picking up in East Anglia and the

1:17:13 > 1:17:16south-east. It is expected to stay dry too much of the daylight hours

1:17:16 > 1:17:19today. A fair amount of sunshine, cloudier later on. For the Midlands,

1:17:19 > 1:17:23it is an east-west split, maybe the chance of a shower in the afternoon

1:17:23 > 1:17:26across eastern areas, western areas staying dry. Much of south-western

1:17:26 > 1:17:29and will be dry, into the south-western across Wales will

1:17:29 > 1:17:33continue to see one of the mainly rain showers pushing in. A bit of

1:17:33 > 1:17:37sleet over the higher ground. Which is showers in Northern Ireland, in

1:17:37 > 1:17:42between the sunny spells. -- wintry. UK wide, colder than yesterday. 4-

1:17:42 > 1:17:46eight Celsius at the very best for most of you. Feeling colder in the

1:17:46 > 1:17:51wind, especially in the east. The winner will pick up the night,

1:17:51 > 1:17:53feeding showers across eastern district of Scotland and England. A

1:17:53 > 1:17:57few showers in the far west of England and Wales. Many will be dry.

1:17:57 > 1:18:01Clear skies. Some frost around. Where use either showers there is

1:18:01 > 1:18:05the chance of ice into tomorrow morning. On Wednesday, a cold they

1:18:05 > 1:18:09install. Especially when you have the showers coming and going all day

1:18:09 > 1:18:13long. They will turn increasingly wintry across parts of north-east

1:18:13 > 1:18:18England as well. Further west, a few showers in the far west of Wales in

1:18:18 > 1:18:20south-west England. Many will be dry, with some sunshine again.

1:18:20 > 1:18:24Chilly in the wind. Temperatures down on today's values and down

1:18:24 > 1:18:28further on Thursday. It is these eastern areas which are most prone

1:18:28 > 1:18:31to showers, even across East Anglia and the south-east we could see one

1:18:31 > 1:18:36or two wintry showers by this stage. The wind hitting gale force at times

1:18:36 > 1:18:40along the east coast. Where you have the showers, it will not only feel

1:18:40 > 1:18:44cold because of them, but the strength of the wind will make you

1:18:44 > 1:18:47feel more like -1 or minus three degrees. A very chilly few days in

1:18:47 > 1:18:50store. Showers starting to drift towards eastern areas rather than

1:18:50 > 1:18:55the west. I will see you again in up. -- half an hour.

1:18:58 > 1:19:04I know it is a bad thing to say, but I felt a bit is Christmassy watching

1:19:04 > 1:19:11him this morning.Why not?Well, because it is in December. -- isn't.

1:19:11 > 1:19:13Research by BBC Breakfast has discovered than an increasing number

1:19:13 > 1:19:16of parents of children with special needs are taking their local

1:19:16 > 1:19:19councils to tribunal, in order to get the right support

1:19:19 > 1:19:20for their child.

1:19:20 > 1:19:22The number of cases in England increased by nearly

1:19:22 > 1:19:25a third last year with parents winning 80% of cases.

1:19:25 > 1:19:26Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has more.

1:19:26 > 1:19:30Cruel, traumatic, heart-wrenching...

1:19:30 > 1:19:32Deanne describes the process she has just gone through.

1:19:32 > 1:19:35Two years fighting two tribunals to get the right support

1:19:35 > 1:19:36for her disabled daughter.

1:19:36 > 1:19:39Erin was left with serious disabilities after being

1:19:39 > 1:19:53born prematurely.

1:19:53 > 1:19:56A statement, a legal document, outlined exactly what support Erin

1:19:56 > 1:19:56received.

1:19:56 > 1:19:59New legislation in 2014 meant Erin's statement had to be

1:19:59 > 1:20:01scrapped and turned into a new Education,

1:20:01 > 1:20:02Health and Care Plan.

1:20:02 > 1:20:03That;s when their fight began.

1:20:03 > 1:20:04They have stripped out everything.

1:20:04 > 1:20:06All of Erin's provision?

1:20:06 > 1:20:07Switch therapy, one-on-one, occupational therapy...

1:20:07 > 1:20:08All gone?

1:20:08 > 1:20:14All gone.

1:20:14 > 1:20:21They appealed the plan in October 2015.

1:20:21 > 1:20:24In May 2016 they lost at the tribunal, appealed again

1:20:24 > 1:20:26and in July this year won a new plan.

1:20:26 > 1:20:28You basically got everything back to her?

1:20:28 > 1:20:29Yes, and more.

1:20:29 > 1:20:31How can you summarise the process you have been

1:20:31 > 1:20:32through?

1:20:32 > 1:20:33I can't, I can't.

1:20:33 > 1:20:35It doesn't make sense, what we have been through,

1:20:35 > 1:20:38as a family, to get what Erin needs and is entitled to.

1:20:38 > 1:20:40It does not make sense.

1:20:40 > 1:20:42Erin's Council, Redbridge, told us they made 1,500

1:20:42 > 1:20:43decisions last year.

1:20:43 > 1:20:46Only 20 ended in tribunal.

1:20:46 > 1:20:49The reforms were designed to offer that is support

1:20:49 > 1:20:52for children but we found almost 3400 parents had to fight for that

1:20:52 > 1:20:55support last year.

1:20:55 > 1:20:58What it tells me is that there is a system which is

1:20:58 > 1:20:59under massive strain.

1:20:59 > 1:21:01Council simply do not have the money to give

1:21:01 > 1:21:04parents what they think their children deserve.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06This isn't what parents think their children

1:21:06 > 1:21:07deserve.

1:21:07 > 1:21:09This is what the law says children are entitled to.

1:21:09 > 1:21:10That is very different.

1:21:10 > 1:21:13Councils are doing their best to do that, in impossible

1:21:13 > 1:21:14financial circumstances.

1:21:14 > 1:21:16The law also says that councils cannot

1:21:16 > 1:21:18overspend their budget each year.

1:21:18 > 1:21:22The department for education told us they have given councils an extra

1:21:22 > 1:21:27£223 million in extra funding to help them introduce

1:21:27 > 1:21:27these reforms successfully.

1:21:27 > 1:21:30Many parents tell us that they too have

1:21:30 > 1:21:31had to pay.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33The cost of independent financial reports, lawyers and experts,

1:21:33 > 1:21:35emotional costs which cannot be quantified.

1:21:35 > 1:21:37Of course, there are many parents who cannot

1:21:37 > 1:21:48afford to pay anything.

1:21:48 > 1:21:53There are of course those situations where local

1:21:53 > 1:21:56authorities will come along to the hearing armed with a range

1:21:56 > 1:21:57of professionals supporting their case,

1:21:57 > 1:22:00and that inevitably creates an inequality of arms.

1:22:00 > 1:22:01This can be a brutal experience.

1:22:01 > 1:22:04Many parents, like Deanne, will go through it more

1:22:04 > 1:22:04than once.

1:22:04 > 1:22:07It has taken every fibre in my body to fight.

1:22:07 > 1:22:10And I will never, ever give up, for what my

1:22:10 > 1:22:20daughter needs and is legally entitled to.

1:22:20 > 1:22:26Jayne joins us in the studio. A powerful report. We are getting many

1:22:26 > 1:22:29messages again today, and lots of them are seeing about that brutal

1:22:29 > 1:22:34nature of the tribunal process, how frustrating and degrading it can be.

1:22:34 > 1:22:39People tell me it feels like walk. It can get so acrimonious, so nasty.

1:22:39 > 1:22:43There is some data we have exclusively. What we have learned as

1:22:43 > 1:22:48there has been a 28% increase in England's in the number of families

1:22:48 > 1:22:53who have to take this fight to tribunal. How many of those local

1:22:53 > 1:23:02authorities are actually winning? Only one in five cases are one. --

1:23:02 > 1:23:07are won by local authorities. Behind that number is another story, in

1:23:07 > 1:23:10many cases local authorities will concede before it reaches tribunal,

1:23:10 > 1:23:14four in ten. There is another number. How much money a local

1:23:14 > 1:23:18authority spending on these battles? We have learned it is at least £6

1:23:18 > 1:23:22million in the last five years. Because not all local authorities

1:23:22 > 1:23:26provided us with data. You know we are spending all week looking at

1:23:26 > 1:23:30these issues On Breakfast. We do not want to spend a whole week shining a

1:23:30 > 1:23:34light on all of the bad stuff, the stuff that is going around, because

1:23:34 > 1:23:38so much is going right for so many very many people. If you have in

1:23:38 > 1:23:46following this on social media, you will have seen the hashtag #BBCsend,

1:23:46 > 1:23:50and we want people to get in touch with us with the good stories as

1:23:50 > 1:23:54well. Who has helped you with your life, who is making a difference? I

1:23:54 > 1:23:58want to show you a film. Tissues at the ready. This is Ryan, who has

1:23:58 > 1:24:06autism, and he wants to say thank you to his dad.I want to say thank

1:24:06 > 1:24:14you to Darren John because he helped me through a lot. Here's my PE

1:24:14 > 1:24:22teacher. When I was a kid the doctor told my mum and dad I couldn't never

1:24:22 > 1:24:31talk. But through the years, I got better because of this man, because

1:24:31 > 1:24:41he gave me my opportunities. He encouraged me to speak more. Thank

1:24:41 > 1:24:48you, Darren, for everything. For giving me my opportunities.My

1:24:48 > 1:24:58pleasure, mate. I got a hug! Let's do that again. Well done to you,

1:24:58 > 1:25:09mate. That's better, isn't it? That was actually Brad, not Ryan. We

1:25:09 > 1:25:14will be playing him later on.That message, it is just wonderful that

1:25:14 > 1:25:18there is, you know, there are good news stories out of air, aren't

1:25:18 > 1:25:22there?There is so much stuff happening. Tomorrow, if your

1:25:22 > 1:25:26families affected by autism, an exclusive report on services, you

1:25:26 > 1:25:30will not want to miss that. And we have in chatting to David and Cary

1:25:30 > 1:25:34Grant.Yes, I was speaking to them, they have four children and two of

1:25:34 > 1:25:38them have autism. I went to their home to speak to them, it gave me a

1:25:38 > 1:25:42sense of what it is like to live with children with autism, how

1:25:42 > 1:25:45frustrating and also how... I mean, they have a positive message as

1:25:45 > 1:25:49well, they really do. It is a mixed bag, isn't it? The positive and

1:25:49 > 1:25:53negative.On the positive side of things, we have a message from

1:25:53 > 1:25:57Shirley. She says her son is on the autism spectrum. He was diagnosed

1:25:57 > 1:26:00with Asperger's at the age of 12. Her local education department of

1:26:00 > 1:26:06the torch with his education, and they had a rotten time. Through my

1:26:06 > 1:26:10family's hard work we educated my son at home. I also held down a

1:26:10 > 1:26:13full-time job through this. He is now 21, a junior software engineer

1:26:13 > 1:26:18with a brilliant company. Surely, thank you. We need fortified minutes

1:26:18 > 1:26:22to read out everybody's messages. There is so much more information on

1:26:22 > 1:26:27our social media. If you want to be in touch, as so many people are, you

1:26:27 > 1:26:30can email us. Or you can tweet us using the hashtag #BBCsend.

1:26:47 > 1:30:09half-hour. We will

1:30:09 > 1:30:10in half an hour.

1:30:10 > 1:30:17Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

1:30:17 > 1:30:20Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:30:20 > 1:30:23Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

1:30:23 > 1:30:25More details of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding

1:30:25 > 1:30:27are expected to be announced today.

1:30:27 > 1:30:29The Archbishop of Canterbury has indicated the couple

1:30:29 > 1:30:32will have a church wedding, saying the pair had "chosen

1:30:32 > 1:30:34to make their vows to God" in a religious ceremony.

1:30:34 > 1:30:41The couple went public with their engagement yesterday.

1:30:41 > 1:30:45The only airport on the Indonesian island of Bali has been closed

1:30:45 > 1:30:47for a second day amid concerns of a volcanic eruption.

1:30:47 > 1:30:51Massive plumes of smoke and ash have been spewing out of Mount Agung over

1:30:51 > 1:30:52the past few days.

1:30:52 > 1:30:55Officials have raised the alert to the highest level

1:30:55 > 1:30:58and are evacuating the homes of up to 100,000 people who live

1:30:58 > 1:31:05near the volcano.

1:31:05 > 1:31:08When it comes to aspiration and opportunity England is becoming

1:31:08 > 1:31:10increasingly divided according to a new report.

1:31:10 > 1:31:12The Social Mobility Commission says London and the south-east

1:31:12 > 1:31:14are still the best place for disadvantaged children

1:31:14 > 1:31:17to progress, while those in the Midlands and coastal areas

1:31:17 > 1:31:23have the least opportunities.

1:31:23 > 1:31:28The chair of the commission believes things can be improved.This is not

1:31:28 > 1:31:32either inevitable or unsolvable. If you think back long enough, 20 years

1:31:32 > 1:31:36ago, we would be having a discussion and lamenting the fact that London

1:31:36 > 1:31:40state schools were among the worst in the country. Now they are the

1:31:40 > 1:31:44best. If you are a disadvantage youngster in London your chances of

1:31:44 > 1:31:47going to university are about twice as high as other parts of the

1:31:47 > 1:31:54country. So this can be solved.

1:31:54 > 1:31:59The seven biggest high-street banks can survive the shocks of Brexit

1:31:59 > 1:32:04according to the Bank of England. We have the resources to cope with a

1:32:04 > 1:32:07high Brexit, high unemployment and a collapse in the property market. The

1:32:07 > 1:32:11bank concluded there are three times more resilient than they were a

1:32:11 > 1:32:18decade ago. Six men acquitted over weapons charges in India have been

1:32:18 > 1:32:20released. We spoke about this on the programme

1:32:20 > 1:32:23yesterday with members of the family. Known as the Chennai Six,

1:32:23 > 1:32:27they were part of the crew seized by the Indian coastguard on October

1:32:27 > 1:32:352013 and had been charged with entering India and legally and

1:32:35 > 1:32:39convicted last year. All charges were dropped. And we were speaking

1:32:39 > 1:32:46to them on the sofa. The fiancee of one and a sister. And they were not

1:32:46 > 1:32:50feeling positive. So it is great news.And another story that you

1:32:50 > 1:32:53would have thought got more coverage.And then there was the

1:32:53 > 1:33:00engagement.Everything else has been shoved to the side.Including

1:33:00 > 1:33:03shortlist for the Sports Personality of the Year.On earth did that

1:33:03 > 1:33:10happen? Yes, another big story in town. Look at that trophy behind

1:33:10 > 1:33:15your shoulders. It has some cracking names on it. I am trying to think

1:33:15 > 1:33:24what my earliest memory is and I might be wrong, but was Red Ron on?

1:33:24 > 1:33:29I am sure there was a pause. That is vague enough. I will check.I don't

1:33:29 > 1:33:36know that.Andy Murray broke the record, winning for a record third

1:33:36 > 1:33:36know that.Andy Murray broke the record, winning for a record surged

1:33:36 > 1:33:38time last year.

1:33:38 > 1:33:41The live ceremony is on December the 17th in Liverpool.

1:33:41 > 1:33:46We'll be looking at this year's 12 candidates just after 8:30am.

1:33:46 > 1:33:51I love that shot of Andy Murray smiling into the camera.

1:33:51 > 1:33:55The ECB say Ben Stokes is visiting family in New Zealand and not

1:33:55 > 1:33:57heading to Australia, after he was apparently spotted

1:33:57 > 1:33:58flying out of Heathrow Airport.

1:33:58 > 1:34:01Stokes has been suspended since he was was arrested

1:34:01 > 1:34:04in September on suspicion of actual bodily harm after an incident

1:34:04 > 1:34:05outside a nightclub but the investigation

1:34:05 > 1:34:06is still on-going.

1:34:06 > 1:34:10Sorry, I don't know if you just heard that. Shall we tell everyone

1:34:10 > 1:34:16what happened?I turned on my phone to

1:34:16 > 1:34:18what happened?I turned on my phone and Siri said, sorry, I don't

1:34:18 > 1:34:26understand.Can Sally continue with sport? Yes, you can.Thank you very

1:34:26 > 1:34:38much. I love that. Andy Swiss has more.

1:34:38 > 1:34:43Well, welcome to Adelaide airport, where England's players have arrived

1:34:43 > 1:34:46from Brisbane. Plenty to see into that over the next few days before

1:34:46 > 1:34:50the second test on Saturday. But while they were flying here, the big

1:34:50 > 1:34:55talking point was another cricketer making a plane journey - a picture

1:34:55 > 1:34:59appeared on Twitter which it was claimed was a Ben Stokes at an

1:34:59 > 1:35:05airport and that prompted speculation he was on his way to

1:35:05 > 1:35:09Australia. England and Wales Cricket Board says he is not. He is on his

1:35:09 > 1:35:14way to New Zealand. The ECB say he is making a trip to New Zealand to

1:35:14 > 1:35:19spend time with family. But it seems he wants to play some cricket. The

1:35:19 > 1:35:23New Zealand team Canterbury say they have been holding initial informal

1:35:23 > 1:35:28discussions with him over his availability for forthcoming

1:35:28 > 1:35:32matches. Although Ben Stokes is suspended from England duty it is

1:35:32 > 1:35:36understood they would be happy for him to play for a team in New

1:35:36 > 1:35:44Zealand. It is another intriguing development in this ongoing saga.

1:35:44 > 1:35:48And Andrew Strauss says players need to sharpen up their act after the

1:35:48 > 1:35:52details of Jonny Bairstow's headbutt. He says Jonny Bairstow

1:35:52 > 1:35:56will not be disciplined and that is something that he does with his

1:35:56 > 1:36:01mates who play rugby. The team has been effectively... Yes, I know,

1:36:01 > 1:36:08effectively grounded.

1:36:08 > 1:36:11The former England manager Sam Allardyce is back in the frame

1:36:11 > 1:36:14for the Everton job, and he's now the leading contender.

1:36:14 > 1:36:15He had been an early candidate to succeed Ronald Koeman,

1:36:15 > 1:36:18but publicly withdrew after Everton were slow to make an offer.

1:36:18 > 1:36:20But their search has become increasingly urgent -

1:36:20 > 1:36:24they've lost five out of their last seven games under caretaker boss

1:36:24 > 1:36:24David Unsworth.

1:36:24 > 1:36:27Karen Carney has withdrawn from the England squad for today's

1:36:27 > 1:36:29World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan in Colchester

1:36:29 > 1:36:30after injuring an ankle.

1:36:30 > 1:36:32The Chelsea winger, who has been capped 134 times,

1:36:32 > 1:36:34joins Demi Stokes on the sidelines.

1:36:34 > 1:36:36England have won their first two qualifiers.

1:36:36 > 1:36:39And you can watch that game live on BBC Two,

1:36:39 > 1:36:40kickoff at 7:05am.

1:36:40 > 1:36:41Wales also play tonight, away to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

1:36:41 > 1:36:45And the horse at Sports Personality of the Year was Red Rum.Great

1:36:45 > 1:36:54memory!I was a big fan.Sorry about the interruption.That's OK.The

1:36:54 > 1:36:59last time it happened I turned it off because I mentioned Syria on the

1:36:59 > 1:37:04bulletin and if what I was asking question.I remember.Live TV. You

1:37:04 > 1:37:08would think that you would have learned.I will learn one day.

1:37:08 > 1:37:10It's the story that's made headlines across the globe,

1:37:10 > 1:37:13the engagement of Prince Harry to the American actress Meghan

1:37:13 > 1:37:14Markle.

1:37:14 > 1:37:18They've announced plans to marry in spring 2018 and have been talking

1:37:18 > 1:37:21to the BBC's Mishal Husain about how they met, what happened when Harry

1:37:21 > 1:37:29propsed and their plans for the future.

1:37:29 > 1:37:34The friend who introduced you, what she tried to set you up?Yes, a

1:37:34 > 1:37:38setup, a blind date, and it is so interesting because we talk about it

1:37:38 > 1:37:44now and even then because I am from the States, you don't grow up with

1:37:44 > 1:37:48the same understanding of the Royal family, and so, while I understand

1:37:48 > 1:37:53clearly that there is a global interest, I didn't know much about

1:37:53 > 1:37:58him. And so the only thing I asked her when she said she wanted to set

1:37:58 > 1:38:04us up was, was he nice?It happened a few weeks ago, only this month,

1:38:04 > 1:38:11here at our cottage, just a standard, typical night.Just a cosy

1:38:11 > 1:38:16night, what were we doing, roasting chicken?Trying to roast chicken.

1:38:16 > 1:38:20And it was just an amazing surprise. It was so sweet and natural and very

1:38:20 > 1:38:28romantic. He got on one knee.Of course.Was it an instant yes?Yes,

1:38:28 > 1:38:33as a matter of fact, I couldn't let you finish proposing.She wouldn't

1:38:33 > 1:38:37let me finish. The ring is yellow gold, because that is her favourite.

1:38:37 > 1:38:42And the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana. And the diamonds

1:38:42 > 1:38:46either side are from my mother's jewellery collection to make sure

1:38:46 > 1:38:52that she is with us on this crazy journey together.It is beautiful.

1:38:52 > 1:38:59And he designed it. It is incredible.Yes.Yes.Some of that

1:38:59 > 1:39:03scrutiny, you made public statements about it, some of the scrutiny was

1:39:03 > 1:39:07centred around your ethnicity, Meghan. When you realised that, what

1:39:07 > 1:39:13did you think?Of course it is disheartening, you know. It is a

1:39:13 > 1:39:18shame that that is the climate in this world. And we have never put

1:39:18 > 1:39:23any focus on that. We have just focused on who we are as a couple.

1:39:23 > 1:39:27And so when you take all those extra layers away and all that noise, I

1:39:27 > 1:39:32think it makes it really easy to just enjoy being together.Have you

1:39:32 > 1:39:39met the Queen?I have, yes.A couple of times.A couple of times.What

1:39:39 > 1:39:45was it like?It is incredible. I think, you know, A, to meet her

1:39:45 > 1:39:49through his lens, not just through his honour and respect for her as

1:39:49 > 1:39:54the monarch, but the love he has for her as his grandmother, all of those

1:39:54 > 1:39:58layers have been so important for me, so that when I met her I had a

1:39:58 > 1:40:01deep understanding and of course incredible respect for being able to

1:40:01 > 1:40:09have that time with her. And we have had a really...She is an incredible

1:40:09 > 1:40:13woman. And the corgis LAUGHTER

1:40:13 > 1:40:13woman. And the corgis LAUGHTER.

1:40:13 > 1:40:18After 30 years of putting up with them...Just lying on my feet. It

1:40:18 > 1:40:23was very sweet.The corgis was the important thing.It was the detail

1:40:23 > 1:40:24that we got.

1:40:24 > 1:40:26We expect to get more details later today

1:40:26 > 1:40:29about where and when the next Royal wedding will take place.

1:40:29 > 1:40:32This is a stroy being talked about around the world,

1:40:32 > 1:40:35so let's gauge reaction on both sides of the Atlantic.

1:40:35 > 1:40:37Royal Historian Kate Williams is outside Buckingham Palace,

1:40:37 > 1:40:40and from Los Angeles we're joined by Melanie Bromley from E News.

1:40:40 > 1:40:47Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Kate, outside Buckingham Palace,

1:40:47 > 1:40:51it was fascinating watching the interview. What did you make of what

1:40:51 > 1:40:55they had to say?Well, it was a really wonderful interview. I think

1:40:55 > 1:41:00what really came over how this is a young couple in love, they are so

1:41:00 > 1:41:04engaged, so affectionate, and they see their future partnership - they

1:41:04 > 1:41:06were talking about how they see their partnership after marriage,

1:41:06 > 1:41:11how they want to do a lot of good for the world, work together. Prince

1:41:11 > 1:41:15Harry has been doing important charity work with the Invictus Games

1:41:15 > 1:41:20and Meghan has worked for the UN, studied international relations,

1:41:20 > 1:41:25worked with World Vision, so interesting to see the future

1:41:25 > 1:41:29partnership, that there is a lot of work to do, and that is why they

1:41:29 > 1:41:32will have a very successful relationship. They are deeply in

1:41:32 > 1:41:36love and well-suited. It will be a working charity and working

1:41:36 > 1:41:40partnership as well which is what they both want.And do you think it

1:41:40 > 1:41:46will change the Royal family?I think it is significant. I think

1:41:46 > 1:41:50Meghan is a breath of fresh air. She is very different. Of course as they

1:41:50 > 1:41:56said they were some very cruel and difficult, harassment and abusive

1:41:56 > 1:42:01coverage of the relationship when it broke last year. Some racism and

1:42:01 > 1:42:05misogyny. And really Meghan has been a very powerful voice about feminism

1:42:05 > 1:42:08and particularly about racism and what she suffered as a biracial

1:42:08 > 1:42:12woman and the racism she suffered. So the fact that she will be on the

1:42:12 > 1:42:17balcony waving out as part of this league group seen as rather stuffy,

1:42:17 > 1:42:20people predicted Prince Harry's future brighter since he was little,

1:42:20 > 1:42:25and it was usually a British Arista great. He has chosen someone

1:42:25 > 1:42:30completely different. -- Arista great. The Royal family is symbolic.

1:42:30 > 1:42:34This has a big symbolic significance I think.Tell us a little about

1:42:34 > 1:42:38royal protocol from now on. There are so many details we don't have at

1:42:38 > 1:42:42this point.Yes, we expect a briefing today about when and where

1:42:42 > 1:42:46the wedding will be, the top choice is Windsor, certainly because it

1:42:46 > 1:42:50won't be a bank holiday, it won't be a huge day or celebration as we saw

1:42:50 > 1:42:54with William and Kate as a future king. At present what they will aim

1:42:54 > 1:42:58for is something quiet. I believe she is going for Christmas at

1:42:58 > 1:43:02Sandringham with the Queen and the other royals. She will move into

1:43:02 > 1:43:06Nottingham cottage in Kensington so they are neighbours with William and

1:43:06 > 1:43:10Kate. And we will see a small wedding. It will be a massive media

1:43:10 > 1:43:15extravaganza. They are incredibly popular. She gets so much coverage.

1:43:15 > 1:43:20He is so popular. A favourite rumour is Serena Williams might be

1:43:20 > 1:43:23bridesmaid and that would be marvellous to see one of the

1:43:23 > 1:43:26greatest tennis players walking up with Meghan Markle as a bridesmaid.

1:43:26 > 1:43:31What a great rumour. Thank you. And there will be plenty more of

1:43:31 > 1:43:34those. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement has been big

1:43:34 > 1:43:35stateside.

1:43:35 > 1:43:38Let's speak to Melanie Bromley who is the Chief news correspondent

1:43:38 > 1:43:40at E News in Los Angeles.

1:43:40 > 1:43:46Good morning to you, Melanie. Give us a flavour of how it has gone down

1:43:46 > 1:43:51in the States.In America, it has been waiting for a royal family

1:43:51 > 1:43:55here. Of course they have spoken about it for years. This is it

1:43:55 > 1:43:58really. Having an American in the British Royal family. And Meghan

1:43:58 > 1:44:04Markle is somebody who has grown up. She has obviously been a TV actress.

1:44:04 > 1:44:11She has this very interesting lifestyle. So to capture the heart

1:44:11 > 1:44:15of the prince, who in America is someone they really adopted, ever

1:44:15 > 1:44:20since the death of his mother, so for Harry to pick an American bride

1:44:20 > 1:44:25is hugely significant over here.And she seems to have been preparing for

1:44:25 > 1:44:29this scrutiny that she will have had already and will continue to get

1:44:29 > 1:44:33through the rest of her life. She closed down her social media site.

1:44:33 > 1:44:38She stopped the lifestyle website she was running as well. Seemingly

1:44:38 > 1:44:44in preparation for her new life, as part of the Royal family.We saw the

1:44:44 > 1:44:49signs and one year ago when Harry released the statement and then she

1:44:49 > 1:44:53started to fall in line with royal protocol. Four were to continue on

1:44:53 > 1:44:58the TV show the idea that she might in her role as Rachel Zane be doing

1:44:58 > 1:45:02sex scenes or love scenes or whatever it might be really didn't

1:45:02 > 1:45:06fit in with her future role, which is a new platform where she can help

1:45:06 > 1:45:10Harry and also do good around the world, which of course, as an

1:45:10 > 1:45:14actress, she was also a massive philanthropist as well and was able

1:45:14 > 1:45:19to do that anyway. This is something that is important for her. She is

1:45:19 > 1:45:23falling in line. She is doing exactly what she wants to do. She

1:45:23 > 1:45:27understands that by being with Harry she will have a bigger platform and

1:45:27 > 1:45:31impact and that is incredibly important to her.Kate was talking

1:45:31 > 1:45:38about it as a historical significance and symbolism of Prince

1:45:38 > 1:45:42Harry marrying an ordinary American, I know she is famous and has been on

1:45:42 > 1:45:47TV and is well-known, but give us an idea from the American perspective,

1:45:47 > 1:45:55someone outside the Royal family, outside the typical circle of being

1:45:55 > 1:45:59a royal.We talked about Kate being a commoner and catching the heart of

1:45:59 > 1:46:05William, breaking down the class boundary. You know, with Meghan,

1:46:05 > 1:46:08breaking down the racial divide, it represents the future of the

1:46:08 > 1:46:12monarchy. This future where we have this ideal world we would all like

1:46:12 > 1:46:16to live in. And I know there is much talk about the wedding being

1:46:16 > 1:46:21something small and much smaller than William and Kate. In some ways

1:46:21 > 1:46:25there is a real hunger over here to see Harry happy and to get that

1:46:25 > 1:46:31happy ever after. And for that reason I think we want a big

1:46:31 > 1:46:37wedding. When there is the clock choice at the moment, we want to see

1:46:37 > 1:46:42it Meghan and Harry on the balcony at Buckingham Palace waving. People

1:46:42 > 1:46:45are so excited for her. And the future that she will have with

1:46:45 > 1:46:53Harry.I am sure you will get all of those pictures soon.

1:46:53 > 1:46:56You know Donald Trump comments on everything these days, but nothing

1:46:56 > 1:47:03yet on Twitter.While.We await with bated breath.Matt is looking at the

1:47:03 > 1:47:07weather again. This is fabulous! That is beautiful. Good morning.

1:47:09 > 1:47:15A very good morning to you. We are in York, we are at the Christmas at

1:47:15 > 1:47:20York Museum Gardens Festival. It is not just lights here, but fire as

1:47:20 > 1:47:24well. This installation is a march to the Vikings, synonymous with the

1:47:24 > 1:47:32area. -- is an homage. This is my favourite one yet because it is

1:47:32 > 1:47:36warming me up. It is very chilly here, as it is across the UK. Quite

1:47:36 > 1:47:41a bit of sunshine to come for many of you today, but would all see more

1:47:41 > 1:47:44showers in eastern areas then we have induced you over past few days.

1:47:44 > 1:47:48We have seen a bit of ice with overnight showers and some frost.

1:47:48 > 1:47:54Temperatures close to freezing in many parts. One isolated showers

1:47:54 > 1:47:58drifting across south-west England. They will quickly disappear and we

1:47:58 > 1:48:02will see sunshine about. Northern Scotland and eastern Scotland will

1:48:02 > 1:48:06see showers coming and going through the day. Some of them heavy across

1:48:06 > 1:48:12the coast. Hail and thunder as well, and we could see sleet and snow.

1:48:12 > 1:48:16South-west Scotland stays dry, and across eastern parts of England we

1:48:16 > 1:48:20will see more showers developing in the afternoon. Further and further

1:48:20 > 1:48:25in land, with a strong to gale force wind. We have the morning shower

1:48:25 > 1:48:30here and there are, most places will be dry in the afternoon. Lots of

1:48:30 > 1:48:32sunshine across much of southern England. South-west England and

1:48:32 > 1:48:41across Wales, Waddleton Mac showers coming and going through the day. A

1:48:41 > 1:48:46few showers to come in Northern Ireland as well. Across the UK,

1:48:46 > 1:48:50temperatures down on yesterday, around 3- eight degrees. It will

1:48:50 > 1:48:53feel cold in the wind, especially across Northern Ireland eastern

1:48:53 > 1:48:57areas, where the wind will be at its strongest. Into this evening and

1:48:57 > 1:49:01overnight, the showers will die back to coastal areas, many in land will

1:49:01 > 1:49:05be dry and clear. Many will lead to a widespread frost developing. You

1:49:05 > 1:49:09have the showers, just be wary. There could be ice on the roads and

1:49:09 > 1:49:13into tomorrow morning. Another chilly start tomorrow, especially in

1:49:13 > 1:49:18eastern areas. Showers coming and going all day long. The showers for

1:49:18 > 1:49:21eastern England tomorrow, a few of them drifting into East Anglia,

1:49:21 > 1:49:26maybe the south-east. Parts of Pembrokeshire, into Cornwall

1:49:26 > 1:49:34especially, will have showers. The wind is making itself known. It is

1:49:34 > 1:49:39at its strongest along the North Sea coasts. If anything, it will be

1:49:39 > 1:49:43getting colder still. Some showers across eastern England will be prone

1:49:43 > 1:49:49to sleet and snow. (INAUDIBLE).

1:49:52 > 1:49:57Well, we can see from the map what is happening in East Anglia, but map

1:49:57 > 1:50:03has disappeared. -- Matt has disappeared. We have lost, sorry.He

1:50:03 > 1:50:10is OK. But we have lost the line. The paper cup and the long piece of

1:50:10 > 1:50:14string let us down.It is going to be cold, though. More details in

1:50:14 > 1:50:18half an hour.Thursday is the coldest day of the week by some

1:50:18 > 1:50:21distance, so wrap up warm, that is the unofficial weather report for

1:50:21 > 1:50:21you.

1:50:21 > 1:50:24All of biggest high street banks could withstand severe economic

1:50:24 > 1:50:26shocks worse than the financial crisis a decade ago.

1:50:26 > 1:50:27It's good news.

1:50:27 > 1:50:33Steph has been looking at the details.

1:50:33 > 1:50:36This is a bit of good news this morning.

1:50:36 > 1:50:39The Bank of England has been undertaking these tests since 2014 -

1:50:39 > 1:50:42to make sure whatever the global economy throws our way,

1:50:42 > 1:50:44our banks will be stable and won't need bailing out.

1:50:44 > 1:50:47All seven of the big high street names passed,

1:50:47 > 1:50:50through scenarios including a hard Brexit, big drops in the value

1:50:50 > 1:50:52of our currency the pound, high unemployment or a collapse

1:50:52 > 1:51:01in property prices.

1:51:01 > 1:51:04This is what Mark Carney had to say a moment ago.Despite the severity

1:51:04 > 1:51:08of the test, for the first signs of the bank began stress testing in

1:51:08 > 1:51:122014, no bank needs to strengthen its capital position as a result.

1:51:12 > 1:51:15Informed by the stress test and our own risk analysis, the FTC also

1:51:15 > 1:51:20judges the banking system will continue to support the real

1:51:20 > 1:51:25economy, even in the unlikely event of a disorderly Brexit.That is the

1:51:25 > 1:51:29governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney. Vicky Pryce John Isner

1:51:29 > 1:51:33now to go over the results. I know these are fresh off the printer.

1:51:33 > 1:51:37What do you make of these results, it is good news that all the banks

1:51:37 > 1:51:41have passed?Very reassuring, of course. The tests were very severe.

1:51:41 > 1:51:45Some people are wondering why they needed to be so severe. There was a

1:51:45 > 1:51:51very substantial fall in the pound of about 20%. A fall in the GDP of

1:51:51 > 1:51:57more than 4%. An increase in interest rates of 2.4%. And the

1:51:57 > 1:52:01question was, would the banks be able to sustain the losses, which

1:52:01 > 1:52:05were likely to come as a result of that? All banks, including the Royal

1:52:05 > 1:52:08Bank of Scotland, which people were concerned about, they seem to have

1:52:08 > 1:52:16passed the test. They are intended to strengthen the banks' capital

1:52:16 > 1:52:22base.Why is it so important?Well, of course we have Brexit coming up.

1:52:22 > 1:52:25That is likely to create financial uncertainty and possess themselves

1:52:25 > 1:52:32seem to suggest that certainly that volatility that happened because of

1:52:32 > 1:52:38Brexit can be sustained by the banks. What the Bank of England 's

1:52:38 > 1:52:47have said, even where we are, it will be easily covered, but they

1:52:47 > 1:52:52will review that. There will be some other thoughts next year in terms of

1:52:52 > 1:52:55whether they need to raise more capital. Remember, of course, no

1:52:55 > 1:53:02individual bank has to raise capital right now. But what to think as --

1:53:02 > 1:53:06what the bank has said, in the case of any serious situation, they need

1:53:06 > 1:53:15to increase from 4.1% to 4.5%. That is an increase, but there is much

1:53:15 > 1:53:19capital but they want what they term a regular tree buffer. They cannot

1:53:19 > 1:53:23use it in any way except to ensure that they have it in case of need.

1:53:23 > 1:53:27It is good to know it is there. You mentioned RBS, people were worried

1:53:27 > 1:53:30whether RBS would pass. Of course, it is majority-owned by us, the

1:53:30 > 1:53:34taxpayers, through the government? It will be interesting to see what

1:53:34 > 1:53:37happens to RBS shares in the future. The Chancellor, in his budget on

1:53:37 > 1:53:41November 22, said that he intended to sell about £15 billion worth of

1:53:41 > 1:53:46RBS shares. So that would decrease the share that is actually still

1:53:46 > 1:53:54held by the public. But of course there would still be huge losses, if

1:53:54 > 1:53:58you look at the value of whether shares were when they were still

1:53:58 > 1:54:07doing reasonably well, we'll be losing quite a of money on this.

1:54:07 > 1:54:11Actually, the Royal Bank of Scotland is out of its problems, it has other

1:54:11 > 1:54:14problems and issues to deal with, and maybe there will be an impact on

1:54:14 > 1:54:18shares. Might actually lose a little bit less than they are sold.We will

1:54:18 > 1:54:21find out what is happening with the share price later this morning.

1:54:21 > 1:54:28Thank you for talking to us this morning. That is it for me.

1:54:28 > 1:54:31Now, the reaction to a series of special educational needs this week

1:54:31 > 1:54:35has been overwhelming. Thank you to everybody who has been in touch with

1:54:35 > 1:54:41all your stories. The emails as a coherent on zone is that it -- of

1:54:41 > 1:54:44the emails were still coming in yesterday. I know we are being

1:54:44 > 1:54:48inundated again today.Many people wanted to say thank you to a family

1:54:48 > 1:54:52member or carer who did so much to help them. Earlier, we said we would

1:54:52 > 1:54:56play Ryan's story. He has autism and wanted to thank his dad. Make sure

1:54:56 > 1:55:01you keep your eyes on Ryan's dad. I would like to thank my dad. If it

1:55:01 > 1:55:05were not to him I wouldn't be able to do other things I have done

1:55:05 > 1:55:09today. He taught me how to cook, how to use a washing machine, how to

1:55:09 > 1:55:13iron. If it were not the him I wouldn't be able to do things like

1:55:13 > 1:55:17that. He pushed me to my limits, doing things I never imagined I

1:55:17 > 1:55:21would do. If it were not the him I would never be other to speak to

1:55:21 > 1:55:24anybody like you. He taught me social skills, I struggled talking

1:55:24 > 1:55:29to people, he taught me how to look and how to keep calm in front of

1:55:29 > 1:55:32normal people, and people that I have never met. I'm very lucky, very

1:55:32 > 1:55:45lucky.He has made it easy for me, he is a good light. He is my man.

1:55:45 > 1:55:55That is Ryan and his dad Nick. All this week Hollywood is -- all this

1:55:55 > 1:55:59week, we have got messages all week, but when people get the care they

1:55:59 > 1:56:03need, it is so uplifting.What is lovely as hearing Ryan there,

1:56:03 > 1:56:07sometimes you are not able to say thank you and he just says it so

1:56:07 > 1:56:10beautifully as well.One other message I would like to read you. A

1:56:10 > 1:56:14teacher who wanted to remain anonymous said, I am a teacher at a

1:56:14 > 1:56:18special needs school and I feel like I have doors shut in my face

1:56:18 > 1:56:22unidentified pupils with extra needs. One of my pupils, in order to

1:56:22 > 1:56:25put in therapy and one-on-one support to enhance that the have the

1:56:25 > 1:56:28allotment, I was told by senior development -- senior leadership

1:56:28 > 1:56:32that the burrow do not have any ability to do this so they will not

1:56:32 > 1:56:35be pursuing this. After sternly making my evidence as to why this

1:56:35 > 1:56:39boy needed that additional support, I was begrudgingly told, "We will

1:56:39 > 1:56:43think about it". Needless to say I will one had a percent support the

1:56:43 > 1:56:47parents should they decide not to take this on and to tackle the

1:56:47 > 1:56:51burrow at the tribunal. If I was one of these parents I would cry. As

1:56:51 > 1:56:55their teacher, I do cry. They need a voice and they need a champion to

1:56:55 > 1:56:58fight for what they need.That is what we got, a real sense,

1:56:58 > 1:57:04particular today in this series, all these parents really having to fight

1:57:04 > 2:00:26to get their children looked after. Thank you for your stories.

2:00:26 > 2:00:27in half an hour.

2:00:27 > 2:00:28Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

2:00:51 > 2:00:54Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.
