Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:10 | |
The royal wedding -
we should find out more | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
details later today. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
are expected to get married | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
in a church. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
We should find out
the venue and date later. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
And we'll be live outside
Buckingham Palace getting | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
all the latest and we'll
also be finding out how | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
the United States is reacting. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
Good morning. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
It's Tuesday, November 28. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
Also this morning: A huge jump
in the number of parents fighting | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
to get educational support
for their children. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
There's been a 28% increase
in the last year alone. | 0:00:53 | 0:01:02 | |
It has taken every fibre in my body
to fight, and I will never, ever | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
give up for what my daughter needs
and is legally entitled to. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:12 | |
Your Christmas dinner
is going to cost more this year. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
The highest prices for turkey
and all the trimmings in eight | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
years, according to one
piece of research. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
I'm taking a look at
festive food prices. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
In sport, who will be the BBC
Sports Personality of the Year? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Last Christmas, Andy Murray won it
for a record third time. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
I'll have the list of this year's 12
candidates just after 6:30am. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Excellent, thank you. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
And Matt is out and
about with the weather. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Good | 0:01:35 | 0:01:35 | |
Good morning. I am at the Yorkshire
Museum. Let's see if we can brighten | 0:01:35 | 0:01:42 | |
up your Tuesday morning. A | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Museum. Let's see if we can brighten
up your Tuesday morning. A lot more | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
sunshine around, wintry showers and
to start the morning it is cold with | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
frost and ice. I've got all the
details coming up in 15 minutes. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
Hopefully we can see Matt later. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
First, our main story. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
More details of Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle's forthcoming | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
wedding are expected to be
announced later today. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
indicated the couple | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
will have a church wedding,
saying the pair had "chosen | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
to make their vows to God"
in a religious ceremony. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
The couple went public
with their engagement yesterday. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
I fell in love with Meghan so
incredibly quickly was confirmation | 0:02:16 | 0:02:25 | |
to me that all the stars were
aligned, everything was perfect. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
This beautiful woman tripped and
fell into my life, I fell into her | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
life. And the fact that she will be
unbelievably good at the job part of | 0:02:33 | 0:02:40 | |
it as well is obviously a huge
relief to me because she will be | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
able to deal with everything else
that comes with it. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Let's talk about the wedding itself. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Our correspondent Ian Palmer
is outside Buckingham Palace. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
It is on the front of all of the
papers in the UK and I expect across | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
the world in many places. We need
more details about the wedding. Will | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
we get some today? It won't be hard.
We know very little about the plans | 0:03:03 | 0:03:11 | |
so far. We know that it will be
spring next year and little else. We | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
are expecting some details later
this afternoon. What could we find | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
out? A date would be nice of course.
The wedding couple would have to | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
take into the fact that the Duchess
and Duke of Cambridge are expecting | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
their third child. Will it be before
the third child is born, or after? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:34 | |
Certainly from Kate and William's
point of view it would be easier to | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
look after two small children rather
than three. If they delay it until | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
May then the weather will be kind
and the day even longer. The venue, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
where will it be? Will it be a small
affair, like in the Guard's Chapel? | 0:03:48 | 0:03:58 | |
Or will it be a grand affair in
Westminster Abbey, or indeed St | 0:03:58 | 0:04:07 | |
Paul's Cathedral? These are two
people in their 30s, and of course | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
they have a shared interest in
humanitarian charitable work. They | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
have collected a lot of people over
the years. There will be many people | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
they would like to invite. I am sure
there will be. People are asking for | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
invitations. Thank you. So many
things we don't know. We will talk | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
about it later. We will show you the
papers later. It is just pictures | 0:04:30 | 0:04:37 | |
basically of the royal couple. Yes,
absolutely. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
New measures are to be introduced
to reduce the number of deaths | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
and serious injuries
during childbirth in England. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
For the first time, parents
of stillborn babies are to be | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
routinely offered an independent
investigation into what went wrong. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
The UK has already reduced
the mortality rate for babies, | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
but still lags behind many
other European countries. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Here's our health
correspondent Dominic Hughes. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:06 | |
Losing twins during pregnancy and
then having baby Hugo very | 0:05:06 | 0:05:12 | |
prematurely means Rachel understands
all too well the challenges | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
childbirth can present. Her
experience has taught her that | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
parents and medical staff need to be
more aware of when things could go | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
wrong. I think it is education of
pregnant women to never be afraid to | 0:05:25 | 0:05:31 | |
ask questions and raise concerns.
And it is the medical establishment | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
and encouraging them to do so. Now
the Health Secretary in England is | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
announcing rather than hospitals
carrying out their own | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
investigations when things go wrong
and independent review will be | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
carried out instead. When I talk to
parents whose heart has been broken | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
by something that has gone wrong in
those very small numbers of cases, | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
what they say is it is not about the
money, they just want to know that | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
the NHS has learned from what went
wrong so that same mistake is not | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
ever going to happen again. The UK
lags behind many other European | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
countries when it comes to
preventing baby deaths and premature | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
births. There are around nine
stillborn babies every day. Roughly | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
50 women still die in England each
year from issues related to | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
pregnancy. At around 50,000 babies
are born prematurely. Progress is | 0:06:20 | 0:06:27 | |
being made, but there are concerns
that difficult lessons are not being | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
learnt. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
The only airport on the Indonesian
island of Bali has been closed | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
for a second day amid concerns
of a volcanic eruption. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
Massive plumes of smoke and ash have
been spewing out of Mount Agung over | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
the past few days. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
Earlier the BBC's Rebecca Henschke
sent this report from | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
near the volcano. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Mount Agung is sending out
thick clouds of ash, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:58 | |
smoke, and gas, behind me,
with increasing intensity. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
The airport here in Bali has been
closed for a second day | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
because of this threat
of an imminent eruption | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
from the volcano. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
Last night, you could see
a red glow in the crater, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
which we're told means that the lava
and the molten rock has now | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
reached the summit. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
People have been told
to get out of an area, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
12-kilometre radius around
the volcano, but people | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
are still staying
in their homes there. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
Officials today are going to move
in and forcibly take people out | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
of this danger zone. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:29 | |
At the moment, there
are still farmers down below | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
in their rice paddies,
and the Balinese are still going | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
about their life. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
They revere this mountain
as a sacred site, but now they're | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
watching it very carefully,
and are on high alert | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
for an imminent eruption. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:56 | |
And a little later we will speak to
an expert in volcanoes to find out. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:02 | |
They cannot say for definite what is
going to happen. The different from | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
when at last erupted in the 1960s is
there is a huge evacuation area. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
Still no idea as to when it might go
boom. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
When it comes to aspiration
and opportunity, England is becoming | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
increasingly divided,
according to a new report. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
The Social Mobility Commission says
London and the south-east | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
are still the best place
for disadvantaged children | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
to progress, while those
in the Midlands and coastal areas | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
have the least opportunities. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
The government has handed
over its analysis of the impact | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
of Brexit on parts of the economy,
but the reports are not complete. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
The Brexit Secretary David Davis
says the documents have been | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
redacted to leave out commercially
sensitive market information. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
But Labour are inisiting they should
be given all the detail. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:49 | |
11 British Overseas Territories
are to receive £70 million | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
of funding to help them rebuild
after the recent hurricanes | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
in the Carribean. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:55 | |
The money is to be provided
by the British government to help | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
rebuild schools,
hospitals and ports. | 0:08:58 | 0:08:59 | |
The leaders of the territories
are to meet Theresa May today | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
to update her on the
progress made so far. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:10 | |
It was one of the UK's greatest
conservation success stories. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
Over 30 years, red kites went
from the brink of extinction | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
to being a common sight
in many parts of the UK. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
But their recovery could be derailed
because of poisoning by humans, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
according to research published
in the European Journal of Wildlife | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Research. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:27 | |
Postmortem tests revealed thousands
of the birds of prey died | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
after consuming substances,
including lead shots and pesticides. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
The RSPB has described the findings
as a worrying development. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:46 | |
Those are some of the main news
stories today. If we look at the | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
front pages, only one story in town.
On the back pages, one of the topics | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
is that thing. Yes. I have to say
our top story was affected by the | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
top story on the front of all the
newspapers this morning. Harry and | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
Meghan. Last night on the One Show,
there was a big extravaganza, a big | 0:10:05 | 0:10:16 | |
plan they devoted time on, then
apparently there was a royal | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
engagement. Quite a big interview.
We had Gaby Logan racing through the | 0:10:19 | 0:10:25 | |
nominees last night. A little bit
more detail on that this morning. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
OK, good. Some clever people joining
us in the studio in a virtual | 0:10:29 | 0:10:35 | |
reality way. Don't get too excited.
LAUGHTER. A little bit like Star | 0:10:35 | 0:10:42 | |
Wars. Yes, anyway. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
So who will be this year's BBC
Sports Personality of the Year? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
Andy Murray lifted
the trophy last Christmas, | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
winning it for a record third time. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
The live ceremony is on December
the 17th in Liverpool. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
I'll have the list of this year's 12
candidates in around 20 minutes. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
England all-rounder Ben Stokes
is apparently on his way Down Under, | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
but not to join up
with the Ashes squad. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
He was spotted at Heathrown airport
but the ECB said he was flying | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
to New Zealand to visit his family. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
Jonny Bairstow won't face
disciplinary action after he "bumped | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
heads" with Australia's Cameron
Bancroft a month ago. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
England's Director of
Cricket Andrew Strauss said | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
it was something Bairstow did
with his rugby mates, | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
but the players have
effectively been grounded. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
The second Test begins
in Adelaide on Saturday. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
The former England manager
Sam Allardyce is the leading | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
contender for the Everton job. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
He had been an early candidate
to succeed Ronald Koeman, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
but publicly withdrew after Everton
were slow to make an offer. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:37 | |
That might now change. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
Karen Carney has withdrawn
from the England squad for today's | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
World Cup qualifier
against Kazakhstan in Colchester | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
after injuring an ankle. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
England have won their
first two qualifiers. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
Lots more detail on the nominees
coming up in 20 minutes' time. Thank | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
you. And details weather with Matt.
I think it is going to get | 0:11:54 | 0:12:01 | |
you. And details weather with Matt.
I think it is going to get really | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
cold, isn't it? Good morning. It is
certainly cold this morning here. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
Good morning. We have not mentioned
the C-word just yet. It is Christmas | 0:12:07 | 0:12:13 | |
at the York Gardens. There are
illuminated installations playing | 0:12:13 | 0:12:20 | |
along with music surrounding the
location in the grounds of a 13th | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
century abbey. And these colourful
balls will twinkle away through the | 0:12:24 | 0:12:30 | |
forecast. Let's brighten up the
forecast with your weather | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
conditions today. If we look at the
forecast, it will be bright for | 0:12:32 | 0:12:38 | |
many, and quite cold, increasingly
chilly wind across the country and | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
showers around turning increasingly
wintry later on. To start this | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
morning in Scotland, Northern
Ireland, Wales, the Midlands, there | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
will be ice around after overnight
showers. A little frost elsewhere. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
Showers at the moment mainly
contained in the far north and west | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
of the country. Most start the day
dry with sunshine, and plenty to | 0:12:58 | 0:13:04 | |
come through this morning. Through
the day the wind will strengthen | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
across eastern Scotland and England,
showers become frequent across | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
eastern counties through the
afternoon, some of those will be | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
sleet and snow, mainly over the
hills to begin with, most places | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
will have some rain and the odd
rumble of thunder closer to the | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
coast. Further inland, it will be
dry. Much of the Midlands and | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
southern England will stay dry
through the day. Parts of East | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Midlands will have showers later.
Showers on and off in south-east | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
England, not as lengthy as yesterday
-- south-west England. The same in | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
Wales with gaps between them and
sunshine. If anything, the showers | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
will be fewer into the afternoon.
Showers come and go through the day | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
in Northern Ireland. Sunshine in
between. And UK wide today, | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
temperatures down on yesterday, at
best around 4-7, maybe eight or nine | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
in the far south. In the evening,
showers inland will fade away. They | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
continue across northern and eastern
coasts and one or two across western | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
Wales and south-west England. That
will give the risk of ice through | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
the night. It is frosty elsewhere
and raw wind blowing into the start | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
of Wednesday morning across eastern
Scotland and eastern England. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
Eastern Scotland and England will
see showers through the day. Some | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
turning increasingly into sleet and
snow even not just on the hills into | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
the afternoon. Further west, west of
Wales and south-west England most | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
likely to see showers. Many other
parts will be dry as you can see. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
And again temperatures drop and the
wind starting to have even more of | 0:14:37 | 0:14:44 | |
an impact. It will be an east- west
split on Thursday. Eastern counties | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
of England to the south-east and
east Anglia by this stage might have | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
the odd flurry of snow mixed in with
rain. But it will be bitterly cold | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
along the eastern areas. The wind
will make it feel more like sub | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
zero. So, yes, it will be a cold
rump of weather but for some of you | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
a good deal of sunshine over the
next couple of days. Showers on the | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
western fringes, the east of
Scotland and parts of eastern | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
western fringes, the east of
Scotland and parts of eastern | 0:15:15 | 0:15:15 | |
England too. I think everybody is
lucky to watch at this time of the | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
morning because the lights look
spectacular. It will becoming | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
lighter later, but they look
perfect, don't they? Thank you. I am | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
slightly mesmerised by those
gorgeous globes. Shall we look at | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
the pages. We mentioned they are
slightly dominated. I think they are | 0:15:34 | 0:15:41 | |
having a page off. 25 pages of
unrivalled coverage over Harry and | 0:15:41 | 0:15:49 | |
Meghan. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:55 | |
The Daily Mail has a souvenir
pullout. Yes, in the middle, and | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
massive amount. We are fully covered
with Harry and Megan. The Daily | 0:15:59 | 0:16:07 | |
Telegraph, a mere 16 pages of
coverage, again with a souvenir | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
supplement. So many details in that
interview they gave to the BBC last | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
night. A rather wonderful interview.
It was the details about the corgis | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
liking the first time they met her,
apparently they have been barking at | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Prince Harry for 33 years. From his
point of view it was love at first | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
sight. He proposed after they had
had a roast chicken at home. That's | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
nice. That is a great way to
propose. Nobody says no after a | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
roast chicken. You are not
necessarily going to guess that that | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
will be the moment, either. The one
picture... I've got it. The close-up | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
of the ring. Nobody really got a
proper close-up. No, it is not very | 0:16:47 | 0:16:53 | |
good. If you watch royal weddings,
over the years, the close-up of the | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
ring has always been a big part of
the story, I suppose. There you go. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
That is her ring. A diamond that he
wrought back from Botswana. And some | 0:17:01 | 0:17:08 | |
of Diana, Princess of Wales'
jewellery, included in that. I am | 0:17:08 | 0:17:14 | |
looking for the pullout poster.
There it is. If you are really into | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
it all, you can put that on your
office wall or your bedroom wall. On | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
the refrigerator, maybe. You must
have a double door refrigerator. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:31 | |
Remember, we were talking to the
relatives of the so-called Chennai | 0:17:31 | 0:17:37 | |
Six, the sixth edition and who were
jailed in India, and they were very | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
optimistic when they were speaking
to us on the sofa yesterday. -- six | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
British men who were jailed in
India. At we have good news, they | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
will be back in time to Christmas.
Brilliant stuff. I can see that | 0:17:51 | 0:17:57 | |
Steph has a turkey. Yes, a paper
one, not a real one. That would be | 0:17:57 | 0:18:02 | |
awkward. Just carrying around
chickens and turkeys, in case | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
anybody wants to propose. We are
talking about the Christmas dinner. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
It is a bit of bad news. Because we
import so much food, and the fall in | 0:18:11 | 0:18:18 | |
the value of the pound, it means our
Christmas dinner will be more | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
expensive this year. Just to give
you an idea of the key components, a | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
turkey will cost £1 more than last
year, potatoes have gone up by about | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
£1 as well. Brussels sprouts, who on
earth like them? Well, they have | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
gone up I 30p. You have to have
some, just because. I say keep it | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
clean. Go turkey, pigs in blankets,
staffing. Done. No sprouts? Am I the | 0:18:40 | 0:18:48 | |
only person here who will be buying
sprouts? They are forced on me, to | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
be honest. There is nothing you can
do with a sprout that makes it nice. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
Adding bacon, honey, all those
things... I had cheesy sprouts are a | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
few years ago. Dear me. What kind of
cheese? It took me until the new | 0:19:01 | 0:19:07 | |
year to get rid of that. My word. My
word! Cheesy sprouts! I have never | 0:19:07 | 0:19:16 | |
been a fan of the sprout, and that
cemented my troubles. Don't worry, | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
nobody is listening. I'm sure nobody
will pick up on that. I forgot I was | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
on television for a moment. I know
you did. I will rescue with this. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Talk about naivete. The cricketers
are being called naive now. Andrew | 0:19:29 | 0:19:35 | |
Strauss, all of them, they have been
told off for being naughty, they | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
will have to stay in at night and
not go out. I would think if you are | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
on an Ashes tour, I know you are
away for a long time and you want to | 0:19:43 | 0:19:48 | |
have fun and experience to place you
are in, but actually, shouldn't you | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
be a little bit careful about going
out to be bars that we talked about | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
yesterday, and being seen? Stay in
with a box set. Yes! You are away | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
for a long time. You need a bit of
fun. I know, I am joking. But the | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
warning is the them to be more
careful. I love that both of you are | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
wearing hearts on your shirts. Yes,
we have covered ourselves. It is | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
almost as though we had a stylus.
They said we were loses. Now, that | 0:20:13 | 0:20:19 | |
was something I said in jest. And
you have shared it with the nation. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:25 | |
That is up there with Sproutgate,
that. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:31 | |
Research by BBC Breakfast has
discovered than an increasing number | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
of parents of children with special
needs are taking their local | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
councils to tribunal,
in order to get the right support | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
for their child. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
The number of cases in England
increased by nearly a third last | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
year with parents
winning 80% of cases. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Breakfast's Jayne
McCubbin has more. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:53 | |
Cruel, traumatic, heart-wrenching.
Diane describes the process she has | 0:20:53 | 0:20:58 | |
just gone through. Two years
fighting to tribunal is to get the | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
right support for her disabled
daughter. Aaron was left with | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
serious disabilities after being
born prematurely. -- Erin. A | 0:21:06 | 0:21:12 | |
statement, a legal document,
outlined exactly what support Erin | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
received. New legislation in 2014
meant Erin's statement had to be | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
scrapped and turned into a new
education, health and care plan. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
That is when their fight began. They
have stripped out everything. All of | 0:21:22 | 0:21:28 | |
Erin was make provision? Switch
therapy, one, occupational | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
therapy... All gone? All gone. They
appealed the plan in October 2015. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:39 | |
In May 2016 they lost at the
tribunal, appealed again and in July | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
this year won a new plan. You
basically got everything back to | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
her? Yes, and more. How can you
summarise the process you have been | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
through? I can't, I can't. It
doesn't make sense, what we have | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
been through, as a family, to get
Erin needs and is entitled to. It | 0:21:57 | 0:22:03 | |
does not make sense. Erin's Council,
Redbridge, told us they made 1500 | 0:22:03 | 0:22:09 | |
decisions last year. Only 20 ended
in tribunal. The reforms were | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
designed to offer that is support
for children but we found almost | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
3400 parents had to fight for that
support last year. What it tells me | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
is that there is a system which is
under massive strain. Council simply | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
do not have the money to give
parents what they think their | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
children deserve. This isn't what
parents think their children | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
deserve. This is what the law says
children are entitled to. That is | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
very different. Councils are doing
their best to do that, in impossible | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
financial circumstances. The law
also says that councils cannot | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
overspend their budget each year.
The department for education told us | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
they have given councils in extra
$223 million -- £223 million in | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
extra funding to help them introduce
these reforms successfully. Many | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
parents tell us that they too have
had to pay. The cost of independent | 0:22:59 | 0:23:04 | |
financial reports, lawyers and
experts, emotional costs which | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
cannot be quantified. Of course,
there are many parents who cannot | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
afford to pay anything. There are of
course those situations where local | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
authorities will come along to the
hearing armed with a range of | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
professional supporting their case,
and that inevitably creates an | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
inequality of arms. This can be a
brutal experience. Many parents, | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
like Deanne, will go through it more
than once. It has taken every fibre | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
in my body to fight. And I will
never, ever give up, for what my | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
daughter needs and is legally
entitled to. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:40 | |
And we were hearing about this
yesterday, Jane. So many people | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
getting in touch with so many
different concerns. Let's talk | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
specifically about this. It is a
stark increase in the number of | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
people taking them to tribunal?
Let's go through the numbers we | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
discovered with this data Mac. 28%
increase, in England, in families | 0:23:54 | 0:23:59 | |
taking their fight for provision to
tribunal. How many of those cases | 0:23:59 | 0:24:05 | |
are actually won by local
authorities? Let's look at this | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
number. Only one in five. That
number tells us a story. Behind that | 0:24:08 | 0:24:14 | |
number is another number which tells
another story, because not all | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
councils will take it, will fight to
the bitter end. In many cases, | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
councils are conceding, and they are
saying, OK, we will not follow | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
through with this. But the parents
or withdraw this turmoil. Here is | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
another number for you. The amount
of money being spent by local | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
authorities fighting these cases, at
the very, very, very least it is £6 | 0:24:33 | 0:24:39 | |
million in the last five years, at
the very least, because not all | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
local authorities provided us with
data Mac. -- data. We did go to | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
to ask them for their data in all of | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
these areas. Northern Ireland didn't
give us anything. Scotland and Wales | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
said. Interestingly they didn't show
the same levels of conflict of these | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
cases going to tribunal. Before
anybody shouts at the television and | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
says, why on earth are you not
talking to us about that, we will | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
be, later in the week. We will be
doing a piece from Scotland later in | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
the week, looking at why they do
things differently. In England we | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
have seen this sharp increase. The
department of education said they | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
survey the 13,000 people involved in
this reform. Three quarters of those | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
people said they thought the new
plans were getting the health of | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
their children. And I suppose,
listening to you there, that is one | 0:25:26 | 0:25:31 | |
of the reasons we decided to do this
report through the week. As Louise | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
was saying, so many families feel
let down but are also articulating | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
that yesterday, today... Honestly,
honestly, my phone has not stopped | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
ringing. Although yesterday, it
didn't stop, with stories coming | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
through from people. It affects so
many people, which is why we are | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
shining a light on this area.
Tomorrow, big news if your family is | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
affected by autism. We have been
waiting a very long time, throughout | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
the all-party parliamentary report,
to learn more about autism services. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
We will have that exclusively from
the Breakfast sofa tomorrow. I did | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
an interview with David and Cary
Grant about their children. It | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
really gave me a very stark idea of
what life is really like, living | 0:26:10 | 0:26:15 | |
with and caring for children with
autism. Yeah, it will be | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
fascinating. Do keep joining the
conversation. We really appreciated. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
And we will be reading out as many
of those comments as we can through | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
the programme. And you'll be back
later? Yes, but if you are watching, | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
government, we still want an
interview with a government | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
minister. Yes, we have been asking
for several weeks. The invitation is | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
still open. Yes. Whenever you like. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |

The shortlist for the 2017 BBC
Sports Personality of the Year has | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
temperatures feel a little bit
colder. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:24 | |
I'm back with the latest
from the BBC London newsroom | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
in half an hour. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
Plenty more on our website
at the usual address. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Louise and Dan. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
We'll bring you all the latest news
and sport in a moment, | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
but also on Breakfast this morning: | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
As tens of thousands of people
are forced to leave their homes | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
and hotels close to the Balinese
volcano, we'll speak | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
to a volcanologist about
the impending eruption. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:54 | |
It's the engagement talked
about around the world, | 0:30:54 | 0:30:59 | |
we'll compare the reaction
to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
upcoming marriage on both
sides of the Atlantic. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:15 | |
# She's walking on by... | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
And we hear from Noel Gallagher
about that song, "Don't Look Back | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
in Anger", becoming
an anthem of solidarity | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
after the Manchester bombing. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
Good morning. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:25 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
More details of Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle's wedding | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
are expected to be announced today. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:33 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
indicated the couple | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
will have a church wedding,
saying the pair had "chosen | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
to make their vows to God"
in a religious ceremony. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
The couple went public
with their engagement yesterday. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:50 | |
I don't think that I would call it a
whirlwind in terms of our | 0:31:50 | 0:31:55 | |
relationship, obviously there have
been layers attached to how public | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
it has become, after we had a good
five, six months or most of just | 0:31:58 | 0:32:03 | |
privacy, which was amazing. But no,
I think we were able to really have | 0:32:03 | 0:32:09 | |
so much time just to connect, and we
never went longer than two weeks | 0:32:09 | 0:32:14 | |
without seeing each other, even
though we were obviously doing a | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
long-distance relationship, so we
made it work. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:22 | |
New measures are to be introduced
to reduce the number of deaths | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
and serious injuries
during childbirth in England. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
For the first time, parents
of stillborn babies are to be | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
routinely offered an independent
investigation into what went wrong. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
The UK has already reduced
the mortality rate for babies | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
but still lags behind many other
European countries. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:40 | |
When it comes to aspiration
and opportunity England is becoming | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
increasingly divided
according to a new report. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
The Social Mobility Commission says
London and the south-east | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
are still the best place
for disadvantaged children | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
to progress, while those
in the Midlands and coastal areas | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
have the least opportunities. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:57 | |
The government has handed
over its analysis of some | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
of the economic impacts
of Brexit, but the reports | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
are missing some details. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:03 | |
The Brexit Secretary David Davis
says the documents have been | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
redacted to leave out commercially
sensitive market information. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
But Labour are insisting the public
should be given all the detail. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:17 | |
It's been one of the UK's greatest
conservation success stories. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:21 | |
Over the last 30 years,
red kites went from the brink | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
of extinction to being a common
sight in many parts of the UK. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
But their recovery could be derailed
because of poisoning by humans, | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
according to research published
in the European Journal of Wildlife | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
Research. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:34 | |
Postmortem tests on thousands
of the birds of prey revelaed that | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
many died after consuming
substances, including lead | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
shot and pesticides. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:44 | |
11 British overseas territories
are to receive £70 million | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
of funding to help them rebuild
after the recent hurricanes | 0:33:46 | 0:33:49 | |
in the Carribean. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:50 | |
The money is to be provided
by the British government to help | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
rebuild schools,
hospitals and ports. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:54 | |
The leaders of the territories
are to meet Theresa May today | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
to update her on the
progress made so far. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:06 | |
So, you are up-to-date with the
latest news. Sally is here. I think | 0:34:06 | 0:34:11 | |
she has brought some virtual
friends. Look at what is going on | 0:34:11 | 0:34:15 | |
behind us all. Cubes of doom. No,
they are more like columns. An old | 0:34:15 | 0:34:21 | |
microphone. Yes. It would take a
while. Yes. It is that time of year, | 0:34:21 | 0:34:30 | |
the nominees for the BBC's Sports
Personality of the Year in | 0:34:30 | 0:34:35 | |
Liverpool. Now we are used to Andy
Murray winning it. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:41 | |
They are world beaters and record
breakers who have reached the top | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
of their game and won
some of the biggest | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
sporting accolades going. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:47 | |
Between now and the 19th
of December, 12 British sport | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
legends are concentrated
on just one thing, | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
winning the public vote for the BBC
Sports Personality of the Year 2017. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:56 | |
The list was out last night, let's
look at the runners and riders. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
Are you ready? I am excited about
this. Oh, look, there is Mo. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:06 | |
What a year it has
been for Mo Farah. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
He retired from the track
in style, didn't he? | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
He won gold and silver
in the 10,000 and 5,000 metres | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
at the World Championships in London
plus he became Sir Mo. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
He is also very tall. Yes, huge, in
fact. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:22 | |
Northern Ireland's Jonathan Rea
made motorbike history | 0:35:22 | 0:35:23 | |
in September when he became
the first rider ever to win three | 0:35:23 | 0:35:27 | |
successive World Superbike titles. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
Jonathan's dad - Johnny Rea -
was a succesful road racer too. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
He got Jonathan involved racing
when he was just five! | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
He has done well for himself. He has
done all right, hasn't it? Someone | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
who is properly big. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:39 | |
He stands tall at 6 foot 6,
plays chess in his spare time | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
and can also run the 100 metres
in under 11 seconds. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
However, it was Anthony Joshua's
world heavyweight title win | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
against Wladimir Klitschko that
really made the former bricklayer's | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
name this year. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:52 | |
Lewis Hamilton, we have had him
here, became the most successful | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
British F1 driver ever
last month with four world | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
titles to his name now. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
What you might not know, though,
is that Lewis became vegan this year | 0:36:00 | 0:36:06 | |
- he would love a cheesy Sprout! Oh,
no, he wouldn't, because it has | 0:36:06 | 0:36:11 | |
cheese. And he likes to write a
unicycle - fun fact. Now, I bet this | 0:36:11 | 0:36:18 | |
man can write a unicycle. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
Chris Froome won his fourth Tour de | 0:36:21 | 0:36:22 | |
France title this year
and the climbing specialist followed | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
it up with a win at the Vuelta
a Espana in September. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
Froomey is the first British cyclist
ever to win in Madrid. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
Adam Peaty's nan will be sat at home
cheering because the 22-year-old | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
swimmer also makes the shortlist. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
Is she on the list? She should be! I
bet she will be voting. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
He won breaststroke gold over both
the 50 and 100-metre distances | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
in the World Championships,
smashing his own world record | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
in the process, plus his nan Mavis
made it to Hungary to cheer him on. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
Well done. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:50 | |
No Andy Murray on this year's
list but British tennis | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
is still represented
in Johanna Konta. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
The world number nine had an amazing
Wimbledon, didn't she? | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
She made it to the semi finals
remember where she lost to Venus | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
Williams. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:00 | |
I wonder if she will be baking some
of her famous muffins to bring | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
to the ceremony? | 0:37:04 | 0:37:05 | |
Of course. What, to try to wow?
Exactly! Oh, and now, we have seen a | 0:37:05 | 0:37:13 | |
lot of Johnny, haven't we, in
Strictly Ballroom? He is in the | 0:37:13 | 0:37:19 | |
hunt, he is on the list. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
Before the ballroom this year,
Peacock returned to the stadium | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
where he enjoyed his famous
2012 triumphs to win | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
another 100-metre gold. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:28 | |
What an amazing year it has been
for our female cricketers! | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
They might have missed out
on the Ashes but in July they won | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
the World Cup on home turf. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
Vice-captain Anya Shrubsole took
the crucial, final wicket in that | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
fightback against India winning her
a place on this shortlist. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:45 | |
It has also been an amazing 12
months for this man, | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
come on, move faster
than that, Harry Kane. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:48 | |
come on, move faster
than that, Harry Kane. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
The Tottenham striker signed
a new deal with the club, | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
became a dad for the
first time, scored hat | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
trick after hat trick,
including in the Champions League | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
and won another Premier League
golden boot. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
Could he follow it up with a win
at Sports Personality of the Year? | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
Chance. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:06 | |
Taekwondo heavyweight Bianca Walkden
made up for disappointment in Rio | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
in the best possible way
this year by successfuly | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
defending her World
Championship title. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
Bianca, who is known
in Team GB as Queen B, | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
good reason, she was actually born
in Liverpool where this year's award | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
will be revealed. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:20 | |
Last, but certainly not least,
we turn to the ice and short | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
track speed skating. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:24 | |
Scotland's Elise Christie
is currently gearing up | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
for the Winter Olympics
where she will be one of our big | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
hopes after this year becoming
the first European woman to win | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
the 1,000 metre, 1,500
metre and overall titles | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
at the world championships. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:35 | |
The winner will be revealed
at the BBC Sports Personality | 0:38:35 | 0:38:38 | |
of the Year 2017 award ceremony
in Liverpool on the 19th December. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
And you are going to be there as
usual. Go on. Is it the end of the | 0:38:41 | 0:38:46 | |
show? That is the short list, is it?
That is the shortlist, yes. Hang on, | 0:38:46 | 0:38:50 | |
I have some sports news to carry on
with. OK. Will you be there on | 0:38:50 | 0:38:54 | |
Monday morning? I am there on Sunday
night and he on Monday morning. I | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
will come straight here in my
sparkly dress, shall I do that? Yes. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:13 | |
The ECB say Ben Stokes is visiting
family in New Zealand and not | 0:39:13 | 0:39:16 | |
heading to Australia,
after he was apparently spotted | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
flying out of Heathrow Airport. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
Stokes has been suspended
since he was was arrested | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
in September on suspicion of actual
bodily harm after an incident | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
outside a nightclub
but the investigation | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
is still on-going. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:28 | |
Nothing's changed - we are expecting
a decision at some stage. It is not | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
our job to pressure the police. It
is their job to get that right and, | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
you know, when there is a charging
decision, obviously we can move | 0:39:35 | 0:39:39 | |
forward, but until we hear anything
from them, we are stuck in this | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
limbo period. The players need to
sharpen up their act. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:49 | |
After details
of Jonny Bairstow's headbutt | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
on Cameron Bancroft emerged,
Strauss says Bairstow won't be | 0:39:51 | 0:39:54 | |
disciplined and the "head bumping"
is something he does all the time | 0:39:54 | 0:39:57 | |
with his rugby mates - | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
but the squad has
effectively been grounded. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
And that is Sam Allardyce. I have
just spotted that. We got so clever | 0:40:01 | 0:40:06 | |
with all those people, we got the
simple stuff wrong. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:12 | |
The former England manager
Sam Allardyce is back in the frame | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
for the Everton job,
and he's now the leading contender. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
He had been an early candidate
to succeed Ronald Koeman, | 0:40:17 | 0:40:20 | |
but publicly withdrew after Everton
were slow to make an offer. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
His name is back in the frame. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
Karen Carney has withdrawn
from the England squad for today's | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
World Cup qualifier
against Kazakhstan in Colchester | 0:40:28 | 0:40:29 | |
after injuring an ankle. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
The Chelsea winger, who has
been capped 134 times, | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
joins Demi Stokes on the sidelines. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:35 | |
England have won their
first two qualifiers. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
And you can watch that
game live on BBC Two, | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
kickoff at 7:05am. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:40 | |
Wales also play tonight,
away to Bosnia-Herzegovina. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
And that really is all of the sports
news. Well, I thought that was | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
amazing. Thank you very much indeed.
A very long shortlist. Sorry. That | 0:40:47 | 0:40:52 | |
is all right. It is important to
remind everybody. Yes. | 0:40:52 | 0:41:00 | |
Let's talk about the volcano in
Bali. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
There are increasing concerns this
morning that a volcano | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
on the Indonesian island of Bali may
erupt, with authorities | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
there evacuating the homes
of 100,000 people in the area. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
Mount Agung has been sending dark
clouds of ash into the air | 0:41:11 | 0:41:15 | |
since last week, leading
to the closure of the island's | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
airport and stranding tens
of thousands of travellers. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
When the volcano last erupted
in 1963, people had just | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
minutes to flee. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:24 | |
Lava flowed more than seven
kilometres from the summit, | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
killing more than 1500 people. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
The impact was global,
with sulphur emissions | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
from the eruption leading to a drop
in worldwide temperatures | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
of between 0.1 and 0.4
degrees celcius. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:38 | |
So is it likely to happen again? | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
We're joined by Professor Mike
Burton, a volcanologist | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
at The University of Manchester. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
Volcanologist. Oh, I thought it was,
then I thought... Anyway. Thank you | 0:41:46 | 0:41:53 | |
for joining us. Pleasure. Tell us
what you think is going on at the | 0:41:53 | 0:41:59 | |
moment. Well, as you mentioned, the
1963 eruption is a fair model of | 0:41:59 | 0:42:05 | |
what we are using to see what could
be expected from the volcano in the | 0:42:05 | 0:42:09 | |
next few weeks and months. And in
that case, it seemed that there was | 0:42:09 | 0:42:16 | |
a sharper onset than in this case.
This one seems to be a bit slower. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:20 | |
The first activity that we saw was
an increase in volcanic tremor two | 0:42:20 | 0:42:24 | |
months ago and there was media
interest in this volcano two months | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
ago and then it went quiet. It is
only in the last week as you said | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
that the ashes were emitted. In the
previous eruption in 1963 the onset | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
was sharper which would suggest that
the energy within the volcano at the | 0:42:36 | 0:42:41 | |
moment may be somewhat less than
that eruption. I am assuming that | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
all volcanoes are individual and
social what you're watching at the | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
moment, I know that you are judging
from what happened in the 1960s, you | 0:42:48 | 0:42:53 | |
can't tell if it will erupt in a
day, month, maybe even longer than | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
that. A nice way to look at this is
to say that corruption is don't | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
repeat themselves, but they do
rhyme, so the typical activity, | 0:43:00 | 0:43:06 | |
style of activity will be similar,
but the man in which it comes out | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
with timing could be different. And
this volcano, Agung, is extremely | 0:43:10 | 0:43:16 | |
well studied. We have volcanologists
who have studied it to see the last | 0:43:16 | 0:43:20 | |
5000 years of activity and that has
shown that the typical level of the | 0:43:20 | 0:43:24 | |
maximum eruptions are able to
interact people around ten | 0:43:24 | 0:43:29 | |
kilometres to 12 kilometres around
the volcano, which is why the | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
Indonesian authorities have
evacuated that distance. So the | 0:43:32 | 0:43:36 | |
impact is from lava flows, what is
it from? It is multiple hazards. One | 0:43:36 | 0:43:41 | |
of them is the lava flow - and in
fact the next thing we might expect | 0:43:41 | 0:43:47 | |
to happen is lava to come out. And
because it is steep, 3000 metres | 0:43:47 | 0:43:53 | |
height, ten kilometres from the
coast, so there is a very sharp | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
gradient, which means when the lava
comes down it could fall down and | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
that creates a hot avalanche, which
causes a flow which can be very | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
dangerous and go far out. It is not
really the lava flow, it is the | 0:44:04 | 0:44:09 | |
breaking lava flow which causes
damage, together with mudflow that | 0:44:09 | 0:44:13 | |
we have seen already from the ash
deposited on the slopes of the | 0:44:13 | 0:44:17 | |
volcano and heavy rain we get every
day in the tropics that mobilises | 0:44:17 | 0:44:20 | |
the Akhshtyr create mudflow. We have
heard a couple of moments ago about | 0:44:20 | 0:44:28 | |
the temperature change, what would
happen locally to the environment | 0:44:28 | 0:44:31 | |
and the global environment, the
difference it might make? There is | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
not going to be global impact unless
it is bigger than at the moment. The | 0:44:34 | 0:44:39 | |
ash plumes at the moment are three
kilometres all four kilometres high | 0:44:39 | 0:44:42 | |
at the most and that is quite less
than what we saw in 1963. Everything | 0:44:42 | 0:44:47 | |
is indicating this is lower in
intensity than before. It won't be | 0:44:47 | 0:44:52 | |
until a major explosion, which
occurred a month after the lava flow | 0:44:52 | 0:44:56 | |
began last time, so some time from
now, if it were to occur, that we | 0:44:56 | 0:45:02 | |
would be able to see anything which
could have a climatic impact. It has | 0:45:02 | 0:45:06 | |
to get above ten kilometres before
it can impact the climate. You may | 0:45:06 | 0:45:10 | |
not be the person to ask. We have
seen flights disrupted. It is likely | 0:45:10 | 0:45:14 | |
to continue if the Atkin Jim is. It
depends on the direction of the wind | 0:45:14 | 0:45:19 | |
entirely. It is going to the
south-west | 0:45:19 | 0:45:26 | |
entirely. It is going to the
south-west. If it moves away, it | 0:45:26 | 0:45:28 | |
will open up again. It is
fascinating to talk to you and I am | 0:45:28 | 0:45:33 | |
sure we will talk to you again
because it is a long-term thing. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:39 | |
Matthew is in York, with all sorts
of colourful shiny stuff 19. That | 0:45:39 | 0:45:44 | |
morning. -- behind him. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
Good morning! We are in the York
Museum Gardens this morning. Ten | 0:45:51 | 0:45:57 | |
acres of stunning botanical gardens
during the daylight. At night, they | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
have been trials formed into a
cacophony of usable sound and | 0:46:00 | 0:46:03 | |
colour. Numerous light installations
here, all the way through to New | 0:46:03 | 0:46:08 | |
Year's Day. A hind me are the
musical Christmas trees. -- behind | 0:46:08 | 0:46:11 | |
me. It is 6:45 a.m., so they have
been muted. Are the ones that sound | 0:46:11 | 0:46:17 | |
first thing in the morning,
especially when I join in. -- nobody | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
wants that sound. These will all be
under blue skies once the lights | 0:46:21 | 0:46:27 | |
turn off this morning and through
the day. It will be a sunny day here | 0:46:27 | 0:46:31 | |
in Yorkshire. Looking at the
forecast for the rest of the UK, we | 0:46:31 | 0:46:35 | |
have got a cold winds coming across
the country which will bring | 0:46:35 | 0:46:38 | |
increasing amounts of showers to
eastern areas today, compare to what | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
we saw yesterday. Still a few
showers in the north and west. A bit | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
of ice in the Scotland this morning,
and we have showers of the Northern | 0:46:45 | 0:46:51 | |
England and Wales. A bit of sleet
and snow in the higher ground in the | 0:46:51 | 0:46:55 | |
north to go with that. It is a bit
of a frosty start to the Tuesday | 0:46:55 | 0:46:59 | |
morning, and many will stay sunny
throughout. Southern Scotland will | 0:46:59 | 0:47:03 | |
farewell for sunshine, but Northern
Ireland eastern areas, plenty of | 0:47:03 | 0:47:06 | |
showers into the afternoon. Wintry
not just the hills but in lower | 0:47:06 | 0:47:10 | |
levels later on, and a brisk and raw
winds down the eastern coast. In the | 0:47:10 | 0:47:15 | |
eastern counties of England,
particular in the north-east, that | 0:47:15 | 0:47:18 | |
is also true. Even in York we could
see a few showers later on after a | 0:47:18 | 0:47:23 | |
sunny morning. North-western England
not daring to badly. The West | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
Midlands doing all right, but parts
of the East Midlands could catch a | 0:47:25 | 0:47:30 | |
shower later in the day. Much of
southern England will stay dry. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:33 | |
Dealing cold in the sunshine. Not as
warm as it was yesterday. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:36 | |
Temperatures have dropped across the
UK, only eight or nine degrees at | 0:47:36 | 0:47:41 | |
the best, instead of double figures.
Most around 7- four Celsius. Still a | 0:47:41 | 0:47:46 | |
few showers in Northern Ireland and
western England, but not as many as | 0:47:46 | 0:47:51 | |
we saw yesterday. The chance of some
sunshine. Tonight showers and land | 0:47:51 | 0:47:57 | |
will fade away. Some will continue
around the coast across eastern and | 0:47:57 | 0:48:00 | |
northern parts of the UK and maybe
to western parts of Wales. Most will | 0:48:00 | 0:48:04 | |
have a clear night. Where you see
showers... (INAUDIBLE). Throughout | 0:48:04 | 0:48:14 | |
the day, we will see a cold wind
blowing today into tonight and into | 0:48:14 | 0:48:18 | |
tomorrow. It will strengthen across
eastern parts as well. A touch of | 0:48:18 | 0:48:23 | |
gale force along the North Sea
coast. On Wednesday many counties of | 0:48:23 | 0:48:26 | |
the thinning and will be prone to
showers, turning wintry across the | 0:48:26 | 0:48:30 | |
north-east. Still some showers
across the north-east of Scotland | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
and some running down the far west
of Wales and to Cornwall. Mostly a | 0:48:32 | 0:48:36 | |
dry day, but a chilly one. The wind
chill will become more noticeable, | 0:48:36 | 0:48:40 | |
as it will do into Thursday.
Thursday is much like Wednesday, | 0:48:40 | 0:48:43 | |
with eastern parts most prone to
showers. Even a few wintry showers, | 0:48:43 | 0:48:47 | |
with a bit of sleet mixed into parts
of East Anglia and the south-east by | 0:48:47 | 0:48:51 | |
Thursday. Silvers showers in the far
west. Most will have a dry day, but | 0:48:51 | 0:48:55 | |
it will feel cold. Temperatures
feeling more like -1 or -3 across | 0:48:55 | 0:49:00 | |
Scotland and eastern England,
especially in those strong to gale | 0:49:00 | 0:49:03 | |
force winds. So we are into a cold
spell, may be warming up a bit into | 0:49:03 | 0:49:07 | |
the weekend. At overall,
temperatures in the coming days | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
remain lower than they should be for
this time of year. At it all adds to | 0:49:10 | 0:49:14 | |
that lovely crisp feeling as we head
towards the beginning of winter. I | 0:49:14 | 0:49:18 | |
just noticed your gloves. I think
they are brilliant. Lovely and warm. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:23 | |
Apologies for the interference on
the line. We will be back later. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:27 | |
We are talking about Turkey and
trimmings, which are getting more | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
expensive. Far more expensive than
they have in later? | 0:49:35 | 0:49:39 | |
I'm not surprised that you don't
care about the sprouts, admitting | 0:49:39 | 0:49:42 | |
that you hated is browse. I think
you have made us all feel a little | 0:49:42 | 0:49:46 | |
bit sick this morning. We will move
on. Yes, we are talking about the | 0:49:46 | 0:49:52 | |
price of your Christmas dinner. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:54 | |
This is research from
Good Housekeeping magazine, | 0:49:54 | 0:49:57 | |
and they've been looking at costs
across all the major supermarkets | 0:49:57 | 0:50:00 | |
for 11 essentials,
from mince pies to veg. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
This year Christmas dinner will set
you back just under £3 per person. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:06 | |
That's up about 50p on last year,
when the same lunch would cost | 0:50:06 | 0:50:09 | |
you just under £2.50 per person. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:11 | |
The key ingredients on the rise
are turkey, potatoes and parsnips. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:14 | |
But there is some good news -
your Christmas pudding should, | 0:50:14 | 0:50:17 | |
on average, be a little cheaper. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
With us is retail
analyst Phil Durrell. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:32 | |
And good morning. Lovely to see you.
Can you explain why food prices are | 0:50:32 | 0:50:37 | |
going up generally? Well, food
prices are generally going up simply | 0:50:37 | 0:50:42 | |
because of what is happening with
inflation. We have lots of pressure | 0:50:42 | 0:50:46 | |
on inflation, three major ones. One
of them is the UK Sterling, the | 0:50:46 | 0:50:52 | |
value against the euro and against
the US dollar is reducing. Labour | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
costs are escalating. And there is
additional costs for retailers, | 0:50:55 | 0:51:02 | |
servicing their retail estate. This
adds to costs for retailers. Explain | 0:51:02 | 0:51:08 | |
that a bit more. It is the fact that
we import lots of food, don't we? So | 0:51:08 | 0:51:13 | |
when the currency isn't as high, it
means it costs us more money to | 0:51:13 | 0:51:17 | |
bring it in? Absolutely. The
ingredients and products that we are | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
selling are costing us more money in
foreign markets. Even those products | 0:51:20 | 0:51:24 | |
that we are making or producing in
the UK, they are costing more, | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
because the labour costs are going
up. Why? There are lots of ushers on | 0:51:27 | 0:51:32 | |
labour costs, simply because of the
additional national living wage, | 0:51:32 | 0:51:37 | |
which has escalated it. -- lots of
pressures. The reduction in labour | 0:51:37 | 0:51:44 | |
force, as unemployment reduces, the
amount of labour that is available | 0:51:44 | 0:51:47 | |
becomes less, and therefore people
pay a little bit more to get the | 0:51:47 | 0:51:53 | |
people they want. And can you tell
us about the third reason? That is | 0:51:53 | 0:51:56 | |
about the cost of property, et
cetera. Servicing property. If | 0:51:56 | 0:52:00 | |
everything goes up regarding
deliveries, rates, rental | 0:52:00 | 0:52:07 | |
properties, -- rent on properties,
the retailers are currently putting | 0:52:07 | 0:52:13 | |
out onto the customer. They add that
onto the price of the product. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:17 | |
Generally, what happened last year
was that they were facing lots of | 0:52:17 | 0:52:21 | |
pressures. What it was a difficult
Christmas for them. What's of them | 0:52:21 | 0:52:25 | |
said, they didn't want to put any
prices up, at this point in time, | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
they wanted to keep it low. Going
into Christmas, the most important | 0:52:29 | 0:52:32 | |
period for them, they wanted to
maintain low prices. This year they | 0:52:32 | 0:52:36 | |
have taken a different tack and have
said, we are going to put those | 0:52:36 | 0:52:40 | |
prices up. Inflation has been
running at about 3- 5% on food all | 0:52:40 | 0:52:45 | |
through the year. We have seen that
reaching its peak as it is now. Last | 0:52:45 | 0:52:49 | |
year, you talked about potatoes.
Last year potatoes were 29p. That is | 0:52:49 | 0:52:54 | |
a fantastic price for potatoes. This
year they are £1.49, still not about | 0:52:54 | 0:53:00 | |
price, but it looks bad based on
last year. You mentioned, you think | 0:53:00 | 0:53:05 | |
that it has peaked. Do you think we
will see prices starting to fall | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
next year? What are your thoughts on
that? Unfortunately, I said last | 0:53:08 | 0:53:13 | |
year, I said that we are probably
just about to start our last cheap | 0:53:13 | 0:53:18 | |
Christmas. And I think that is
right. I think this you will be more | 0:53:18 | 0:53:23 | |
expensive than last year. I think
next year we will escalate as it | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
goes through the, as uncertainty in
the pound and uncertainty with what | 0:53:26 | 0:53:30 | |
happens with Brexit means that
prices will inevitably rise. It is | 0:53:30 | 0:53:35 | |
just going to get, unfortunately, a
bit sad. Will you ever eat cheesy | 0:53:35 | 0:53:40 | |
sprouts? That is the question. I
don't think anybody does. Daniel | 0:53:40 | 0:53:43 | |
Walker does. I don't eat them any
more. My point earlier was, to | 0:53:43 | 0:53:49 | |
reduce the cost of the Christmas
dinner, you take sprouts out of the | 0:53:49 | 0:53:53 | |
occasion. But the sprouts club have
hit back. One viewer says, they are | 0:53:53 | 0:53:59 | |
crucial on Boxing Day bubble and
squeak. Another says, mashed and | 0:53:59 | 0:54:03 | |
with butter and pepper and they are
perfect. Another says, with a | 0:54:03 | 0:54:07 | |
contentious parts they are a staple
of the Christmas dinner. See? You | 0:54:07 | 0:54:10 | |
are missing out. What about this,
have you tried serving them with a | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
marmite glaze. No! This year I will
be having mini sprouts, says Rob. | 0:54:14 | 0:54:18 | |
These. I can join the people. Thank
you, sprouts club. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:23 | |
It's been quite a year
for Noel Gallagher. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
His song Don't Look Back in Anger
became an anthem of solidarity | 0:54:25 | 0:54:28 | |
after the Manchester bomb. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:29 | |
He's turned 50 and relations
with his brother Liam have reached | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
an all-time low. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:33 | |
He's been talking to our
entertainment correspondent | 0:54:33 | 0:54:35 | |
Colin Paterson about his new album
but also giving his opinions | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
on Jeremy Corbyn, tattoos,
his brother and baldness | 0:54:38 | 0:54:40 | |
along the way. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:44 | |
We meet just after the midweek
charts, and you are heading up to | 0:54:49 | 0:54:53 | |
number one with the album Who Builds
the Moon. How much do things like | 0:54:53 | 0:54:57 | |
that still matter to you? I guess it
is nice, it is better than being | 0:54:57 | 0:55:01 | |
number two. It strikes me as a
joyful Arbon. What is going on? I | 0:55:01 | 0:55:05 | |
guess I was on a voyage of
discovery. I have written any of the | 0:55:05 | 0:55:09 | |
songs before I went in. Be careful
what you wish for on the album is a | 0:55:09 | 0:55:14 | |
song about you giving advice to your
children. You have three kids. What | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
is the hardest part about parenting?
The hardest part, for me, is to be a | 0:55:17 | 0:55:21 | |
responsible parent. I would be let
in each chocolate and chips for | 0:55:21 | 0:55:26 | |
breakfast. My 17-year-old daughter
is brilliant. Showers very, very | 0:55:26 | 0:55:29 | |
cool. Showers not in any way...
Showers not a problem yet. She did | 0:55:29 | 0:55:36 | |
get tattoos without saying anything,
and I was a bit disappointed in | 0:55:36 | 0:55:39 | |
that. What were they? It was all
right, one of them was my face. They | 0:55:39 | 0:55:46 | |
were the brothers' initials on her
hands, which is kind of a bit of a | 0:55:46 | 0:55:51 | |
snide way of getting in through the
backdoor, I've these tattoos. I was | 0:55:51 | 0:55:54 | |
like, what? Then she showed me and I
thought, well, that's cute, isn't | 0:55:54 | 0:55:58 | |
it. But no more! The timing of the
album has been interesting, coming | 0:55:58 | 0:56:04 | |
one month after your brother's. What
was your reaction when his album | 0:56:04 | 0:56:10 | |
went to number one. Did you send him
a message of congratulations? I did | 0:56:10 | 0:56:14 | |
indeed. Yes, a did. No, I didn't. I
didn't. Why would I? One of the big | 0:56:14 | 0:56:20 | |
news events of the year was the
Manchester bomb. It was dreadful. It | 0:56:20 | 0:56:24 | |
made me feel so angry and continues
to make me feel so angry. It was | 0:56:24 | 0:56:28 | |
brutal. How did it feel, for Don't
Look Back In Anger to become such a | 0:56:28 | 0:56:39 | |
song of solidarity? At that time,
you know, politicians' words were | 0:56:39 | 0:56:42 | |
meaningless, alleges leaders' words
were meaningless, the experts on the | 0:56:42 | 0:56:47 | |
news, what they said was
meaningless. And that one girl, she | 0:56:47 | 0:56:50 | |
sang that song and the people
rallied around that song. And as a | 0:56:50 | 0:56:54 | |
songwriter, not even the fact that
it is my song, if it was a song, it | 0:56:54 | 0:56:59 | |
would have reaffirmed my belief in
the power of music and what it means | 0:56:59 | 0:57:02 | |
to people. You turned 50 this year.
How are you finding it? If my 50s | 0:57:02 | 0:57:07 | |
are half as good as my 40s,
professionally and privately, then | 0:57:07 | 0:57:10 | |
I'm going to be doing all right. Is
your body telling you you are 50? | 0:57:10 | 0:57:15 | |
No, no, I am all right. As long as
this is here, no offence, but as | 0:57:15 | 0:57:19 | |
long as this is thriving, which it
is... Get a close-up of that. That | 0:57:19 | 0:57:23 | |
is thorough. How would you feel if
you went gold? I don't know what I | 0:57:23 | 0:57:28 | |
would do. I would definitely retire
from music, that is to shore. And it | 0:57:28 | 0:57:32 | |
wants to see a ball that Jagger. | 0:57:32 | 0:57:35 | |
I think Colin took that quite well.
Good morning to all our bald | 0:57:35 | 0:57:40 | |
viewers. Nor Gallagher's new album | 0:57:40 | 1:01:05 | |
in half an hour. | 1:01:05 | 1:01:06 | |
Plenty more on our website
at the usual address. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:08 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Louise and Dan. | 1:01:08 | 1:01:09 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 1:01:10 | 1:01:12 | |
The royal wedding -
we should find out more | 1:01:12 | 1:01:15 | |
details later today. | 1:01:15 | 1:01:16 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
are expected to get married | 1:01:16 | 1:01:18 | |
in a church. | 1:01:18 | 1:01:19 | |
We should find out
the venue and date later. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:22 | |
And we'll be live outside
Buckingham Palace getting | 1:01:22 | 1:01:24 | |
all the latest and we'll
also be finding out how | 1:01:24 | 1:01:27 | |
the United States is reacting. | 1:01:27 | 1:01:38 | |
Good morning. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:41 | |
It's Tuesday, November 28. | 1:01:41 | 1:01:47 | |
Also this morning: A huge jump
in the number of parents fighting | 1:01:47 | 1:01:50 | |
to get educational support
for their children. | 1:01:50 | 1:01:52 | |
There's been a 28% increase
in the last year alone. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:55 | |
It has taken every fibre
in my body to fight, | 1:01:55 | 1:01:58 | |
and I will never, ever give up
for what my daughter needs | 1:01:58 | 1:02:01 | |
and is legally entitled to. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:13 | |
Good morning. We are going to find
out how the banks would cope if we | 1:02:13 | 1:02:18 | |
were hit by another financial
crisis. The Bank of England is | 1:02:18 | 1:02:22 | |
revealing the latest stress tests -
I will have the results. | 1:02:22 | 1:02:26 | |
In sport, who will be the BBC
Sports Personality of the Year? | 1:02:26 | 1:02:29 | |
Last Christmas, Andy Murray won it
for a record third time. | 1:02:29 | 1:02:32 | |
I'll have the list of this year's 12
candidates just after 7:30am. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:35 | |
And Matt is out and
about with the weather. | 1:02:35 | 1:02:38 | |
Good morning. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:40 | |
I am among the twinkling lights at
the York Museum Gardens, with a | 1:02:40 | 1:02:45 | |
twinkle of frost around. It is a
cold start to your Tuesday morning | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
with more sunshine but showers
around eastern areas today and over | 1:02:48 | 1:02:52 | |
the next few days. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:54 | |
I've got all the details
coming up in 15 minutes. | 1:02:54 | 1:02:56 | |
It looks lovely, thank you. | 1:02:56 | 1:02:57 | |
Good morning. | 1:02:57 | 1:02:58 | |
First, our main story. | 1:02:58 | 1:03:00 | |
More details of Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle's forthcoming | 1:03:00 | 1:03:02 | |
wedding are expected to be
announced later today. | 1:03:02 | 1:03:04 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
indicated the couple | 1:03:04 | 1:03:07 | |
will have a church wedding,
saying the pair had "chosen | 1:03:07 | 1:03:09 | |
to make their vows to God"
in a religious ceremony. | 1:03:09 | 1:03:12 | |
The couple went public
with their engagement yesterday. | 1:03:12 | 1:03:16 | |
I fell in love with Meghan
so incredibly quickly, | 1:03:16 | 1:03:19 | |
was confirmation to me that
all the stars were aligned, | 1:03:19 | 1:03:21 | |
everything was perfect. | 1:03:21 | 1:03:22 | |
This beautiful woman tripped
and fell into my life, | 1:03:22 | 1:03:25 | |
I fell into her life. | 1:03:25 | 1:03:26 | |
And the fact that she will be
unbelievably good at the job part | 1:03:26 | 1:03:30 | |
of it as well is obviously
a huge relief to me, | 1:03:30 | 1:03:33 | |
because she will be able to deal
with everything else that | 1:03:33 | 1:03:36 | |
comes with it. | 1:03:36 | 1:03:49 | |
So much information from the
interview, including the engagement | 1:03:49 | 1:03:52 | |
happened after they had roast
chicken for dinner. | 1:03:52 | 1:03:54 | |
Our correspondent Ian Palmer
is outside Buckingham Palace. | 1:03:54 | 1:03:57 | |
We know lots of details, but there
are more to come. What will we learn | 1:03:57 | 1:04:02 | |
today? Well, hopefully, Louise, we
will hear when the wedding is | 1:04:02 | 1:04:07 | |
supposed to be. We already know
that, of course, it is going to be | 1:04:07 | 1:04:12 | |
next spring, but there is a royal
baby scheduled in April. Will the | 1:04:12 | 1:04:17 | |
wedding be before the baby is born,
or will it be after? From Kate and | 1:04:17 | 1:04:23 | |
William's point of view it would be
easier to look for two small | 1:04:23 | 1:04:28 | |
children at a wedding, rather than
three, and if the couple hold their | 1:04:28 | 1:04:33 | |
wedding in May the weather should be
a little more kind and of course the | 1:04:33 | 1:04:37 | |
day Albert or longer. We should hear
where the venue is. Will it be a | 1:04:37 | 1:04:42 | |
grand affair, something modest? If
it is the latter, it could be at the | 1:04:42 | 1:04:48 | |
Guard's Chapel a short walk from the
awesome and George's Chapel in | 1:04:48 | 1:04:52 | |
Windsor. If it is a grand affair
than the obvious candidates are | 1:04:52 | 1:04:55 | |
Westminster Abbey and St Paul's
Cathedral. The money is on the grand | 1:04:55 | 1:05:02 | |
affair because these are two people
in love who are in their 30s, they | 1:05:02 | 1:05:06 | |
have a shared common interest in
humanitarian and charity work, they | 1:05:06 | 1:05:10 | |
have collected lots of people over
the years and they will want to | 1:05:10 | 1:05:14 | |
invite many people. Ian, thank you
very much indeed, and so many | 1:05:14 | 1:05:18 | |
details emerged with that interview
with Michelle from the BBC | 1:05:18 | 1:05:23 | |
yesterday, and I like the little
details, like the corgis. They were | 1:05:23 | 1:05:27 | |
more open than I thought they would
be. Yes, he said 30 years of being | 1:05:27 | 1:05:32 | |
barked at. They loved Meghan, who of
course has her own dogs as well. And | 1:05:32 | 1:05:38 | |
all sorts of souvenir editions,
posters, page after page after page, | 1:05:38 | 1:05:42 | |
the Daily Mirror, she tripped and
fell into my life, in the paper | 1:05:42 | 1:05:49 | |
yesterday and they have a secret,
well, not a secret, and Meghan for | 1:05:49 | 1:05:52 | |
you if you if you like that sort of
thing. The Daily Telegraph, it is | 1:05:52 | 1:05:57 | |
not often when the Daily Telegraph
does a whole front-page photograph, | 1:05:57 | 1:06:02 | |
but that is the Telegraph. "She Is
the one" on the Sun and another | 1:06:02 | 1:06:08 | |
souvenir edition. Disappointed with
the Daily Mail, the Sun have 25 | 1:06:08 | 1:06:12 | |
pages, the Daily Mail have 24 pages,
only 24, yes, the stars were | 1:06:12 | 1:06:20 | |
aligned. They have photos,
everything. She is American. We will | 1:06:20 | 1:06:25 | |
speak with our correspondent in
America to see how they are reacting | 1:06:25 | 1:06:29 | |
to the news as well. If you are one
of those people who is fed up with a | 1:06:29 | 1:06:34 | |
royal news, we have plenty of other
news to bring you and over the next | 1:06:34 | 1:06:38 | |
couple of days as well. Let's get to
the other stories this morning. | 1:06:38 | 1:06:41 | |
New measures are to be introduced
to reduce the number of deaths | 1:06:41 | 1:06:45 | |
and serious injuries
during childbirth in England. | 1:06:45 | 1:06:47 | |
For the first time, parents
of stillborn babies are to be | 1:06:47 | 1:06:50 | |
routinely offered an independent
investigation into what went wrong. | 1:06:50 | 1:06:52 | |
The UK has already reduced
the mortality rate for babies, | 1:06:52 | 1:06:55 | |
but still lags behind many
other European countries. | 1:06:55 | 1:06:57 | |
Here's our health
correspondent Dominic Hughes. | 1:06:57 | 1:07:06 | |
Losing twins during pregnancy,
and then having baby Hugo very | 1:07:06 | 1:07:08 | |
prematurely, means Rachel
understands all too well | 1:07:08 | 1:07:10 | |
the challenges
childbirth can present. | 1:07:10 | 1:07:14 | |
Her experience has taught her that
parents and medical staff need to be | 1:07:14 | 1:07:18 | |
more aware of when
things could go wrong. | 1:07:18 | 1:07:24 | |
I think it's education of pregnant
women to never be afraid to ask | 1:07:24 | 1:07:27 | |
questions and raise concerns. | 1:07:27 | 1:07:32 | |
And it's also the medical
establishment in encouraging them | 1:07:32 | 1:07:34 | |
to do so. | 1:07:34 | 1:07:35 | |
Now, the Health Secretary in England
is announcing rather than hospitals | 1:07:35 | 1:07:38 | |
carrying out their own
investigations when things go wrong | 1:07:38 | 1:07:41 | |
an independent review will be
carried out instead. | 1:07:41 | 1:07:44 | |
When I talk to parents whose heart
has been broken by something that | 1:07:44 | 1:07:48 | |
has gone wrong in those very
small numbers of cases, | 1:07:48 | 1:07:50 | |
what they say is it is not
about the money, they just | 1:07:50 | 1:07:54 | |
want to know that the NHS has
learned from what went wrong | 1:07:54 | 1:07:57 | |
so that the same mistakes won't ever
going to happen again. | 1:07:57 | 1:08:04 | |
The UK lags behind many other
European countries when it comes | 1:08:04 | 1:08:07 | |
to preventing baby deaths
and premature births. | 1:08:07 | 1:08:08 | |
There are around nine
stillborn babies every day. | 1:08:08 | 1:08:11 | |
Roughly 50 women still die
in England each year from issues | 1:08:11 | 1:08:14 | |
related to pregnancy. | 1:08:14 | 1:08:14 | |
And around 50,000 babies
are born prematurely. | 1:08:14 | 1:08:16 | |
Progress is being made,
but there are concerns that | 1:08:16 | 1:08:19 | |
difficult lessons
are not being learnt. | 1:08:19 | 1:08:32 | |
Seven of our biggest banks have been
put to the test by the Bank | 1:08:32 | 1:08:36 | |
of England today to
see how they'd cope | 1:08:36 | 1:08:38 | |
in another financial crisis. | 1:08:38 | 1:08:39 | |
Steph's got the results. | 1:08:39 | 1:08:42 | |
They are called stress tests. Yes,
exactly as you put it. The Bank of | 1:08:42 | 1:08:48 | |
England will put our banks in
various scenarios and they have | 1:08:48 | 1:08:52 | |
looked at things like whether they
can cope with suffering major losses | 1:08:52 | 1:08:56 | |
on profit and loss sheets, whether
they can cope with the sterling | 1:08:56 | 1:09:01 | |
falling against its lowest level
against the dollar, whether they can | 1:09:01 | 1:09:05 | |
cope with unemployment rising to
when it was backing the financial | 1:09:05 | 1:09:08 | |
crisis, and whether we can cope with
interest rates rising to 4%. And the | 1:09:08 | 1:09:12 | |
good news is they said this morning
that our banks are three times | 1:09:12 | 1:09:16 | |
stronger than ten years ago. That is
good news. Excellent news and | 1:09:16 | 1:09:21 | |
stronger means they have money in
the coffers if things go wrong. So, | 1:09:21 | 1:09:25 | |
if things were as bad as they were
in the financial crisis, they would | 1:09:25 | 1:09:29 | |
still be able to lend us money, they
would still be able to carry on as | 1:09:29 | 1:09:34 | |
normal. Lots of people talked about
Brexit and the uncertainty that has | 1:09:34 | 1:09:37 | |
created as well. So as part of this
the Bank of England has tested them | 1:09:37 | 1:09:41 | |
on that as well and they have said
this morning that the banks can | 1:09:41 | 1:09:45 | |
support the economy through a wide
range of Brexit outcomes. So what | 1:09:45 | 1:09:53 | |
they are saying is overall our
banking system is resilient at the | 1:09:53 | 1:09:56 | |
moment. So they are suggesting that
no matter what Brexit throws at us | 1:09:56 | 1:10:00 | |
the banking system will still be
able to cope, which is really good | 1:10:00 | 1:10:04 | |
news because we are an economy
driven heavily by what goes on in | 1:10:04 | 1:10:07 | |
financial services. We saw ten years
ago when it was the financial crisis | 1:10:07 | 1:10:11 | |
how much chaos it caused and that is
why this has been going on to make | 1:10:11 | 1:10:15 | |
sure the banks have enough money to
cope if things go wrong. Thank you | 1:10:15 | 1:10:19 | |
for a little bit of good news. Your
Christmas dinner might be going up, | 1:10:19 | 1:10:23 | |
but the banks can cope if things go
wrong. Excellent to hear. | 1:10:23 | 1:10:26 | |
The only airport on the Indonesian
island of Bali has been closed | 1:10:26 | 1:10:29 | |
for a second day amid concerns
of a volcanic eruption. | 1:10:29 | 1:10:32 | |
Massive plumes of smoke and ash have
been spewing out of Mount Agung over | 1:10:32 | 1:10:36 | |
the past few days. | 1:10:36 | 1:10:37 | |
Officials have raised the alert to
the highest level and are evacuating | 1:10:37 | 1:10:40 | |
the homes of up to 100,000 people
who live close to the volcano. | 1:10:40 | 1:10:51 | |
The government has handed
over its analysis of some | 1:10:51 | 1:10:54 | |
of the economic impacts
of Brexit, but the reports | 1:10:54 | 1:10:56 | |
are missing some details. | 1:10:56 | 1:10:57 | |
The Brexit Secretary David Davis
says the documents have been | 1:10:57 | 1:11:00 | |
redacted to leave out commercially
sensitive market information. | 1:11:00 | 1:11:02 | |
But Labour are insisting the public
should be given all the detail. | 1:11:02 | 1:11:05 | |
It was one of the UK's greatest
conservation success stories. | 1:11:05 | 1:11:08 | |
Over 30 years, red kites went
from the brink of extinction | 1:11:08 | 1:11:11 | |
to being a common sight
in many parts of the UK. | 1:11:11 | 1:11:14 | |
But their recovery could be derailed
because of poisoning by humans, | 1:11:14 | 1:11:17 | |
according to research published
in the European Journal of Wildlife | 1:11:17 | 1:11:20 | |
Research. | 1:11:20 | 1:11:20 | |
Postmortem tests revealed thousands
of the birds of prey died | 1:11:20 | 1:11:23 | |
after consuming substances,
including lead shots and pesticides. | 1:11:23 | 1:11:24 | |
Despite efforts to close gaps
in income and opportunity, | 1:11:25 | 1:11:27 | |
it seems how well you do
in life still depends | 1:11:27 | 1:11:30 | |
on where in the country you live. | 1:11:30 | 1:11:32 | |
Londoners continue to have the best
chance of progression in life, | 1:11:32 | 1:11:35 | |
while many rural, coastal
and former industrial areas | 1:11:35 | 1:11:37 | |
are being left behind. | 1:11:37 | 1:11:41 | |
Alan Milburn is the chair
of the Social Mobility Commission | 1:11:41 | 1:11:43 | |
and joins us from our
London newsroom. | 1:11:43 | 1:11:50 | |
Good morning. Thank you for your
time this morning. Remind us in this | 1:11:50 | 1:11:55 | |
context, what does social mobility
mean? The chances of getting on in | 1:11:55 | 1:12:00 | |
life not correlating with where you
start out, so if you have high | 1:12:00 | 1:12:04 | |
social mobility, then the status and
income of your parents is different | 1:12:04 | 1:12:08 | |
from the status and income that you
will get in life and what we want to | 1:12:08 | 1:12:12 | |
see are the higher levels of social
mobility so that your aptitude and | 1:12:12 | 1:12:16 | |
ability rather than your birth or
background determines where you get | 1:12:16 | 1:12:20 | |
to in life. The quote from the
report that jumps out is "The | 1:12:20 | 1:12:24 | |
country is in the grip of a self
reinforcing spiral of ever-growing | 1:12:24 | 1:12:30 | |
division" - you seem to paint quite
a grim picture. Why is it so bad? | 1:12:30 | 1:12:35 | |
The product of two things, geography
partially and opportunity, so when | 1:12:35 | 1:12:40 | |
we have looked at this, in the past
there has always been the idea of a | 1:12:40 | 1:12:45 | |
north- south divide, it is more
complex than that. There is a social | 1:12:45 | 1:12:50 | |
mobility postcode lottery where your
chances of getting on depend on | 1:12:50 | 1:12:53 | |
where you are born and where you
live. London is steaming ahead, | 1:12:53 | 1:12:57 | |
looking and feeling like a different
country from the rest of the nation. | 1:12:57 | 1:13:02 | |
Meanwhile, too many coastal towns in
rural areas and places that are | 1:13:02 | 1:13:07 | |
former industrial areas in the
Midlands are being left behind | 1:13:07 | 1:13:10 | |
economically and hollowed out
socially. If it goes on like that we | 1:13:10 | 1:13:14 | |
will have an ever greater divide in
our country. It is interesting you | 1:13:14 | 1:13:18 | |
mentioned this now, because
virtually the same source of | 1:13:18 | 1:13:22 | |
findings in the report from 2013 as
well, you said long-standing | 1:13:22 | 1:13:27 | |
regional imbalances, London forging
ahead while other regions of | 1:13:27 | 1:13:30 | |
struggle, that was a quote from four
years ago. Is the government not | 1:13:30 | 1:13:34 | |
listening, do you not have enough
clout, will we continue to see the | 1:13:34 | 1:13:38 | |
change and the difference between
London and other parts of the UK? | 1:13:38 | 1:13:41 | |
Well, let's hope not. This is not
either inevitable or unsolvable. If | 1:13:41 | 1:13:46 | |
you think back 20 years ago, we
would probably be discussing | 1:13:46 | 1:13:51 | |
lamenting the fact that London state
schools were among the worst in the | 1:13:51 | 1:13:55 | |
country. Now they are the best. In
fact if you are a disadvantage young | 1:13:55 | 1:14:02 | |
star, your chances of going to uni
are twice as high as other parts of | 1:14:02 | 1:14:06 | |
the country. So it can be sold. It
can't be solved however through | 1:14:06 | 1:14:09 | |
words. It needs deeds. There is word
in the government about healing | 1:14:09 | 1:14:15 | |
division and promoting social
justice. But right now heads are | 1:14:15 | 1:14:18 | |
consumed by Brexit. Understandably.
And it doesn't seem to have the | 1:14:18 | 1:14:22 | |
headspace to inject the necessary
energy or focus into addressing | 1:14:22 | 1:14:26 | |
these issues. What is needed is a
plan for doing so in that plan in | 1:14:26 | 1:14:31 | |
the end will have to find ways to
read Christie Bute opportunity in | 1:14:31 | 1:14:37 | |
employment, education and housing
fairly across the country. The | 1:14:37 | 1:14:40 | |
government would say they are
progressing in areas with more | 1:14:40 | 1:14:43 | |
children going to outstanding or
good primary schools, record numbers | 1:14:43 | 1:14:47 | |
attending university, the national
living wage is boosting wages, but | 1:14:47 | 1:14:50 | |
that seems at odds with what you are
saying. Yes, though there are good | 1:14:50 | 1:14:55 | |
initiatives, for example what the
education Secretary has done to put | 1:14:55 | 1:15:01 | |
money into areas with poor
attainment in education, so they're | 1:15:01 | 1:15:05 | |
a good pieces, but overall there is
not a frame or a shape and there | 1:15:05 | 1:15:09 | |
isn't a national plan. So to take
one example, the way public spending | 1:15:09 | 1:15:14 | |
is distributed is exacerbating the
divide rather than narrowing it. | 1:15:14 | 1:15:17 | |
London to head of population gets a
three times as much in transport | 1:15:17 | 1:15:21 | |
spending as some of the Moora Mozart
of the country, the East Midlands, | 1:15:21 | 1:15:26 | |
north-east, the south-west, so I
know it is difficult to redistribute | 1:15:26 | 1:15:30 | |
opportunity and free distribute
resources. If we want a fair | 1:15:30 | 1:15:34 | |
country, a genuinely in united
kingdom, that is what has to be | 1:15:34 | 1:15:39 | |
grasped. It is good to talk to you
this morning. Thank you. Really | 1:15:39 | 1:15:43 | |
interesting. | 1:15:43 | 1:15:47 | |
Matthew has the weather in York. It
is looking magical. Those lights are | 1:15:47 | 1:15:50 | |
fantastic. | 1:15:50 | 1:15:52 | |
Good morning! It is one of those
mornings why wish it could stay dark | 1:15:55 | 1:16:00 | |
a bit longer. The botanical Gardens
here, around the York Museum | 1:16:00 | 1:16:04 | |
Gardens, they are all emanated in
the run-up to Christmas. Elimination | 1:16:04 | 1:16:10 | |
in this installation in place until
the first of January. Many are | 1:16:10 | 1:16:13 | |
eliminated to best effect. Clear
skies above us in York at the moment | 1:16:13 | 1:16:17 | |
led to a chilly start. If we look at
the forecast for today, it is a cold | 1:16:17 | 1:16:22 | |
start UK wide. Cold air with us for
the rest of the working week. | 1:16:22 | 1:16:26 | |
Morning frosts becoming more common.
Sunshine and showers around the | 1:16:26 | 1:16:29 | |
periphery of the UK. Increasingly so
in the eastern parts of Scotland and | 1:16:29 | 1:16:33 | |
eastern England over the next few
days. Parts of northern Scotland, | 1:16:33 | 1:16:37 | |
Northern Ireland and Wales, just be
careful. It will be a bit icy. A bit | 1:16:37 | 1:16:45 | |
of frost here and there. Many
beginning the day dry. You can see | 1:16:45 | 1:16:49 | |
the showers in Northern Ireland
western areas to begin with, and in | 1:16:49 | 1:16:52 | |
the afternoon, eastern Scotland and
eastern England begin to see them. | 1:16:52 | 1:16:55 | |
The showers across Scotland, sleet
and snow over the hills, even | 1:16:55 | 1:16:59 | |
flurries down to lower levels in the
heavier showers. Southern Scotland | 1:16:59 | 1:17:01 | |
stays largely dry. Much of
north-west England having a bright | 1:17:01 | 1:17:05 | |
day. East of the Pennines, expert
showers in the afternoon. A cold | 1:17:05 | 1:17:08 | |
wind developing as well. The breeze
picking up in East Anglia and the | 1:17:08 | 1:17:13 | |
south-east. It is expected to stay
dry too much of the daylight hours | 1:17:13 | 1:17:16 | |
today. A fair amount of sunshine,
cloudier later on. For the Midlands, | 1:17:16 | 1:17:19 | |
it is an east-west split, maybe the
chance of a shower in the afternoon | 1:17:19 | 1:17:23 | |
across eastern areas, western areas
staying dry. Much of south-western | 1:17:23 | 1:17:26 | |
and will be dry, into the
south-western across Wales will | 1:17:26 | 1:17:29 | |
continue to see one of the mainly
rain showers pushing in. A bit of | 1:17:29 | 1:17:33 | |
sleet over the higher ground. Which
is showers in Northern Ireland, in | 1:17:33 | 1:17:37 | |
between the sunny spells. -- wintry.
UK wide, colder than yesterday. 4- | 1:17:37 | 1:17:42 | |
eight Celsius at the very best for
most of you. Feeling colder in the | 1:17:42 | 1:17:46 | |
wind, especially in the east. The
winner will pick up the night, | 1:17:46 | 1:17:51 | |
feeding showers across eastern
district of Scotland and England. A | 1:17:51 | 1:17:53 | |
few showers in the far west of
England and Wales. Many will be dry. | 1:17:53 | 1:17:57 | |
Clear skies. Some frost around.
Where use either showers there is | 1:17:57 | 1:18:01 | |
the chance of ice into tomorrow
morning. On Wednesday, a cold they | 1:18:01 | 1:18:05 | |
install. Especially when you have
the showers coming and going all day | 1:18:05 | 1:18:09 | |
long. They will turn increasingly
wintry across parts of north-east | 1:18:09 | 1:18:13 | |
England as well. Further west, a few
showers in the far west of Wales in | 1:18:13 | 1:18:18 | |
south-west England. Many will be
dry, with some sunshine again. | 1:18:18 | 1:18:20 | |
Chilly in the wind. Temperatures
down on today's values and down | 1:18:20 | 1:18:24 | |
further on Thursday. It is these
eastern areas which are most prone | 1:18:24 | 1:18:28 | |
to showers, even across East Anglia
and the south-east we could see one | 1:18:28 | 1:18:31 | |
or two wintry showers by this stage.
The wind hitting gale force at times | 1:18:31 | 1:18:36 | |
along the east coast. Where you have
the showers, it will not only feel | 1:18:36 | 1:18:40 | |
cold because of them, but the
strength of the wind will make you | 1:18:40 | 1:18:44 | |
feel more like -1 or minus three
degrees. A very chilly few days in | 1:18:44 | 1:18:47 | |
store. Showers starting to drift
towards eastern areas rather than | 1:18:47 | 1:18:50 | |
the west. I will see you again in
up. -- half an hour. | 1:18:50 | 1:18:55 | |
I know it is a bad thing to say, but
I felt a bit is Christmassy watching | 1:18:58 | 1:19:04 | |
him this morning. Why not? Well,
because it is in December. -- isn't. | 1:19:04 | 1:19:11 | |
Research by BBC Breakfast has
discovered than an increasing number | 1:19:11 | 1:19:13 | |
of parents of children with special
needs are taking their local | 1:19:13 | 1:19:16 | |
councils to tribunal,
in order to get the right support | 1:19:16 | 1:19:19 | |
for their child. | 1:19:19 | 1:19:20 | |
The number of cases
in England increased by nearly | 1:19:20 | 1:19:22 | |
a third last year with parents
winning 80% of cases. | 1:19:22 | 1:19:25 | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has more. | 1:19:25 | 1:19:26 | |
Cruel, traumatic, heart-wrenching... | 1:19:26 | 1:19:30 | |
Deanne describes the process
she has just gone through. | 1:19:30 | 1:19:32 | |
Two years fighting two tribunals
to get the right support | 1:19:32 | 1:19:35 | |
for her disabled daughter. | 1:19:35 | 1:19:36 | |
Erin was left with serious
disabilities after being | 1:19:36 | 1:19:39 | |
born prematurely. | 1:19:39 | 1:19:53 | |
A statement, a legal document,
outlined exactly what support Erin | 1:19:53 | 1:19:56 | |
received. | 1:19:56 | 1:19:56 | |
New legislation in 2014 meant
Erin's statement had to be | 1:19:56 | 1:19:59 | |
scrapped and turned
into a new Education, | 1:19:59 | 1:20:01 | |
Health and Care Plan. | 1:20:01 | 1:20:02 | |
That;s when their fight began. | 1:20:02 | 1:20:03 | |
They have stripped out everything. | 1:20:03 | 1:20:04 | |
All of Erin's provision? | 1:20:04 | 1:20:06 | |
Switch therapy, one-on-one,
occupational therapy... | 1:20:06 | 1:20:07 | |
All gone? | 1:20:07 | 1:20:08 | |
All gone. | 1:20:08 | 1:20:14 | |
They appealed the plan
in October 2015. | 1:20:14 | 1:20:21 | |
In May 2016 they lost
at the tribunal, appealed again | 1:20:21 | 1:20:24 | |
and in July this
year won a new plan. | 1:20:24 | 1:20:26 | |
You basically got
everything back to her? | 1:20:26 | 1:20:28 | |
Yes, and more. | 1:20:28 | 1:20:29 | |
How can you summarise
the process you have been | 1:20:29 | 1:20:31 | |
through? | 1:20:31 | 1:20:32 | |
I can't, I can't. | 1:20:32 | 1:20:33 | |
It doesn't make sense,
what we have been through, | 1:20:33 | 1:20:35 | |
as a family, to get what Erin
needs and is entitled to. | 1:20:35 | 1:20:38 | |
It does not make sense. | 1:20:38 | 1:20:40 | |
Erin's Council, Redbridge,
told us they made 1,500 | 1:20:40 | 1:20:42 | |
decisions last year. | 1:20:42 | 1:20:43 | |
Only 20 ended in tribunal. | 1:20:43 | 1:20:46 | |
The reforms were designed
to offer that is support | 1:20:46 | 1:20:49 | |
for children but we found almost
3400 parents had to fight for that | 1:20:49 | 1:20:52 | |
support last year. | 1:20:52 | 1:20:55 | |
What it tells me is that there
is a system which is | 1:20:55 | 1:20:58 | |
under massive strain. | 1:20:58 | 1:20:59 | |
Council simply do not
have the money to give | 1:20:59 | 1:21:01 | |
parents what they think
their children deserve. | 1:21:01 | 1:21:04 | |
This isn't what parents
think their children | 1:21:04 | 1:21:06 | |
deserve. | 1:21:06 | 1:21:07 | |
This is what the law says
children are entitled to. | 1:21:07 | 1:21:09 | |
That is very different. | 1:21:09 | 1:21:10 | |
Councils are doing their best
to do that, in impossible | 1:21:10 | 1:21:13 | |
financial circumstances. | 1:21:13 | 1:21:14 | |
The law also says
that councils cannot | 1:21:14 | 1:21:16 | |
overspend their budget each year. | 1:21:16 | 1:21:18 | |
The department for education told us
they have given councils an extra | 1:21:18 | 1:21:22 | |
£223 million in extra funding
to help them introduce | 1:21:22 | 1:21:27 | |
these reforms successfully. | 1:21:27 | 1:21:27 | |
Many parents tell us
that they too have | 1:21:27 | 1:21:30 | |
had to pay. | 1:21:30 | 1:21:31 | |
The cost of independent financial
reports, lawyers and experts, | 1:21:31 | 1:21:33 | |
emotional costs which
cannot be quantified. | 1:21:33 | 1:21:35 | |
Of course, there are
many parents who cannot | 1:21:35 | 1:21:37 | |
afford to pay anything. | 1:21:37 | 1:21:48 | |
There are of course those
situations where local | 1:21:48 | 1:21:53 | |
authorities will come along
to the hearing armed with a range | 1:21:53 | 1:21:56 | |
of professionals
supporting their case, | 1:21:56 | 1:21:57 | |
and that inevitably creates
an inequality of arms. | 1:21:57 | 1:22:00 | |
This can be a brutal experience. | 1:22:00 | 1:22:01 | |
Many parents, like Deanne,
will go through it more | 1:22:01 | 1:22:04 | |
than once. | 1:22:04 | 1:22:04 | |
It has taken every fibre
in my body to fight. | 1:22:04 | 1:22:07 | |
And I will never, ever
give up, for what my | 1:22:07 | 1:22:10 | |
daughter needs and is
legally entitled to. | 1:22:10 | 1:22:20 | |
Jayne joins us in the studio. A
powerful report. We are getting many | 1:22:20 | 1:22:26 | |
messages again today, and lots of
them are seeing about that brutal | 1:22:26 | 1:22:29 | |
nature of the tribunal process, how
frustrating and degrading it can be. | 1:22:29 | 1:22:34 | |
People tell me it feels like walk.
It can get so acrimonious, so nasty. | 1:22:34 | 1:22:39 | |
There is some data we have
exclusively. What we have learned as | 1:22:39 | 1:22:43 | |
there has been a 28% increase in
England's in the number of families | 1:22:43 | 1:22:48 | |
who have to take this fight to
tribunal. How many of those local | 1:22:48 | 1:22:53 | |
authorities are actually winning?
Only one in five cases are one. -- | 1:22:53 | 1:23:02 | |
are won by local authorities. Behind
that number is another story, in | 1:23:02 | 1:23:07 | |
many cases local authorities will
concede before it reaches tribunal, | 1:23:07 | 1:23:10 | |
four in ten. There is another
number. How much money a local | 1:23:10 | 1:23:14 | |
authority spending on these battles?
We have learned it is at least £6 | 1:23:14 | 1:23:18 | |
million in the last five years.
Because not all local authorities | 1:23:18 | 1:23:22 | |
provided us with data. You know we
are spending all week looking at | 1:23:22 | 1:23:26 | |
these issues On Breakfast. We do not
want to spend a whole week shining a | 1:23:26 | 1:23:30 | |
light on all of the bad stuff, the
stuff that is going around, because | 1:23:30 | 1:23:34 | |
so much is going right for so many
very many people. If you have in | 1:23:34 | 1:23:38 | |
following this on social media, you
will have seen the hashtag #BBCsend, | 1:23:38 | 1:23:46 | |
and we want people to get in touch
with us with the good stories as | 1:23:46 | 1:23:50 | |
well. Who has helped you with your
life, who is making a difference? I | 1:23:50 | 1:23:54 | |
want to show you a film. Tissues at
the ready. This is Ryan, who has | 1:23:54 | 1:23:58 | |
autism, and he wants to say thank
you to his dad. I want to say thank | 1:23:58 | 1:24:06 | |
you to Darren John because he helped
me through a lot. Here's my PE | 1:24:06 | 1:24:14 | |
teacher. When I was a kid the doctor
told my mum and dad I couldn't never | 1:24:14 | 1:24:22 | |
talk. But through the years, I got
better because of this man, because | 1:24:22 | 1:24:31 | |
he gave me my opportunities. He
encouraged me to speak more. Thank | 1:24:31 | 1:24:41 | |
you, Darren, for everything. For
giving me my opportunities. My | 1:24:41 | 1:24:48 | |
pleasure, mate. I got a hug! Let's
do that again. Well done to you, | 1:24:48 | 1:24:58 | |
mate. That's better, isn't it?
That was actually Brad, not Ryan. We | 1:24:58 | 1:25:09 | |
will be playing him later on. That
message, it is just wonderful that | 1:25:09 | 1:25:14 | |
there is, you know, there are good
news stories out of air, aren't | 1:25:14 | 1:25:18 | |
there? There is so much stuff
happening. Tomorrow, if your | 1:25:18 | 1:25:22 | |
families affected by autism, an
exclusive report on services, you | 1:25:22 | 1:25:26 | |
will not want to miss that. And we
have in chatting to David and Cary | 1:25:26 | 1:25:30 | |
Grant. Yes, I was speaking to them,
they have four children and two of | 1:25:30 | 1:25:34 | |
them have autism. I went to their
home to speak to them, it gave me a | 1:25:34 | 1:25:38 | |
sense of what it is like to live
with children with autism, how | 1:25:38 | 1:25:42 | |
frustrating and also how... I mean,
they have a positive message as | 1:25:42 | 1:25:45 | |
well, they really do. It is a mixed
bag, isn't it? The positive and | 1:25:45 | 1:25:49 | |
negative. On the positive side of
things, we have a message from | 1:25:49 | 1:25:53 | |
Shirley. She says her son is on the
autism spectrum. He was diagnosed | 1:25:53 | 1:25:57 | |
with Asperger's at the age of 12.
Her local education department of | 1:25:57 | 1:26:00 | |
the torch with his education, and
they had a rotten time. Through my | 1:26:00 | 1:26:06 | |
family's hard work we educated my
son at home. I also held down a | 1:26:06 | 1:26:10 | |
full-time job through this. He is
now 21, a junior software engineer | 1:26:10 | 1:26:13 | |
with a brilliant company. Surely,
thank you. We need fortified minutes | 1:26:13 | 1:26:18 | |
to read out everybody's messages.
There is so much more information on | 1:26:18 | 1:26:22 | |
our social media. If you want to be
in touch, as so many people are, you | 1:26:22 | 1:26:27 | |
can email us. Or you can tweet us
using the hashtag #BBCsend. | 1:26:27 | 1:26:30 | |
Thank you for all of your messages.
Do keep them coming through. And we | 1:26:34 | 1:26:39 | |
will pay you the film, Ryan and his
dad... You do have time now, don't | 1:26:39 | 1:26:43 | |
you, to go and get the tissues
ready. That is in the next | 1:26:43 | 1:26:47 | |
half-hour. We will | 1:26:47 | 1:30:09 | |
in half an hour. | 1:30:09 | 1:30:10 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Louise and Dan. | 1:30:10 | 1:30:17 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 1:30:17 | 1:30:20 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 1:30:20 | 1:30:23 | |
More details of Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle's wedding | 1:30:23 | 1:30:25 | |
are expected to be announced today. | 1:30:25 | 1:30:27 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
indicated the couple | 1:30:27 | 1:30:29 | |
will have a church wedding,
saying the pair had "chosen | 1:30:29 | 1:30:32 | |
to make their vows to God"
in a religious ceremony. | 1:30:32 | 1:30:34 | |
The couple went public
with their engagement yesterday. | 1:30:34 | 1:30:41 | |
The only airport on the Indonesian
island of Bali has been closed | 1:30:41 | 1:30:45 | |
for a second day amid concerns
of a volcanic eruption. | 1:30:45 | 1:30:47 | |
Massive plumes of smoke and ash have
been spewing out of Mount Agung over | 1:30:47 | 1:30:51 | |
the past few days. | 1:30:51 | 1:30:52 | |
Officials have raised the alert
to the highest level | 1:30:52 | 1:30:55 | |
and are evacuating the homes of up
to 100,000 people who live | 1:30:55 | 1:30:58 | |
near the volcano. | 1:30:58 | 1:31:05 | |
When it comes to aspiration
and opportunity England is becoming | 1:31:05 | 1:31:08 | |
increasingly divided
according to a new report. | 1:31:08 | 1:31:10 | |
The Social Mobility Commission says
London and the south-east | 1:31:10 | 1:31:12 | |
are still the best place
for disadvantaged children | 1:31:12 | 1:31:14 | |
to progress, while those
in the Midlands and coastal areas | 1:31:14 | 1:31:17 | |
have the least opportunities. | 1:31:17 | 1:31:23 | |
The chair of the commission believes
things can be improved. This is not | 1:31:23 | 1:31:28 | |
either inevitable or unsolvable. If
you think back long enough, 20 years | 1:31:28 | 1:31:32 | |
ago, we would be having a discussion
and lamenting the fact that London | 1:31:32 | 1:31:36 | |
state schools were among the worst
in the country. Now they are the | 1:31:36 | 1:31:40 | |
best. If you are a disadvantage
youngster in London your chances of | 1:31:40 | 1:31:44 | |
going to university are about twice
as high as other parts of the | 1:31:44 | 1:31:47 | |
country. So this can be solved. | 1:31:47 | 1:31:54 | |
The seven biggest high-street banks
can survive the shocks of Brexit | 1:31:54 | 1:31:59 | |
according to the Bank of England. We
have the resources to cope with a | 1:31:59 | 1:32:04 | |
high Brexit, high unemployment and a
collapse in the property market. The | 1:32:04 | 1:32:07 | |
bank concluded there are three times
more resilient than they were a | 1:32:07 | 1:32:11 | |
decade ago. Six men acquitted over
weapons charges in India have been | 1:32:11 | 1:32:18 | |
released.
We spoke about this on the programme | 1:32:18 | 1:32:20 | |
yesterday with members of the
family. Known as the Chennai Six, | 1:32:20 | 1:32:23 | |
they were part of the crew seized by
the Indian coastguard on October | 1:32:23 | 1:32:27 | |
2013 and had been charged with
entering India and legally and | 1:32:27 | 1:32:35 | |
convicted last year. All charges
were dropped. And we were speaking | 1:32:35 | 1:32:39 | |
to them on the sofa. The fiancee of
one and a sister. And they were not | 1:32:39 | 1:32:46 | |
feeling positive. So it is great
news. And another story that you | 1:32:46 | 1:32:50 | |
would have thought got more
coverage. And then there was the | 1:32:50 | 1:32:53 | |
engagement. Everything else has been
shoved to the side. Including | 1:32:53 | 1:33:00 | |
shortlist for the Sports Personality
of the Year. On earth did that | 1:33:00 | 1:33:03 | |
happen? Yes, another big story in
town. Look at that trophy behind | 1:33:03 | 1:33:10 | |
your shoulders. It has some cracking
names on it. I am trying to think | 1:33:10 | 1:33:15 | |
what my earliest memory is and I
might be wrong, but was Red Ron on? | 1:33:15 | 1:33:24 | |
I am sure there was a pause. That is
vague enough. I will check. I don't | 1:33:24 | 1:33:29 | |
know that. Andy Murray broke the
record, winning for a record third | 1:33:29 | 1:33:36 | |
know that. Andy Murray broke the
record, winning for a record surged | 1:33:36 | 1:33:36 | |
time last year. | 1:33:36 | 1:33:38 | |
The live ceremony is on December
the 17th in Liverpool. | 1:33:38 | 1:33:41 | |
We'll be looking at this year's 12
candidates just after 8:30am. | 1:33:41 | 1:33:46 | |
I love that shot of Andy Murray
smiling into the camera. | 1:33:46 | 1:33:51 | |
The ECB say Ben Stokes is visiting
family in New Zealand and not | 1:33:51 | 1:33:55 | |
heading to Australia,
after he was apparently spotted | 1:33:55 | 1:33:57 | |
flying out of Heathrow Airport. | 1:33:57 | 1:33:58 | |
Stokes has been suspended
since he was was arrested | 1:33:58 | 1:34:01 | |
in September on suspicion of actual
bodily harm after an incident | 1:34:01 | 1:34:04 | |
outside a nightclub
but the investigation | 1:34:04 | 1:34:05 | |
is still on-going. | 1:34:05 | 1:34:06 | |
Sorry, I don't know if you just
heard that. Shall we tell everyone | 1:34:06 | 1:34:10 | |
what happened? I turned on my phone
to | 1:34:10 | 1:34:16 | |
what happened? I turned on my phone
and Siri said, sorry, I don't | 1:34:16 | 1:34:18 | |
understand. Can Sally continue with
sport? Yes, you can. Thank you very | 1:34:18 | 1:34:26 | |
much. I love that. Andy Swiss has
more. | 1:34:26 | 1:34:38 | |
Well, welcome to Adelaide airport,
where England's players have arrived | 1:34:38 | 1:34:43 | |
from Brisbane. Plenty to see into
that over the next few days before | 1:34:43 | 1:34:46 | |
the second test on Saturday. But
while they were flying here, the big | 1:34:46 | 1:34:50 | |
talking point was another cricketer
making a plane journey - a picture | 1:34:50 | 1:34:55 | |
appeared on Twitter which it was
claimed was a Ben Stokes at an | 1:34:55 | 1:34:59 | |
airport and that prompted
speculation he was on his way to | 1:34:59 | 1:35:05 | |
Australia. England and Wales Cricket
Board says he is not. He is on his | 1:35:05 | 1:35:09 | |
way to New Zealand. The ECB say he
is making a trip to New Zealand to | 1:35:09 | 1:35:14 | |
spend time with family. But it seems
he wants to play some cricket. The | 1:35:14 | 1:35:19 | |
New Zealand team Canterbury say they
have been holding initial informal | 1:35:19 | 1:35:23 | |
discussions with him over his
availability for forthcoming | 1:35:23 | 1:35:28 | |
matches. Although Ben Stokes is
suspended from England duty it is | 1:35:28 | 1:35:32 | |
understood they would be happy for
him to play for a team in New | 1:35:32 | 1:35:36 | |
Zealand. It is another intriguing
development in this ongoing saga. | 1:35:36 | 1:35:44 | |
And Andrew Strauss says players need
to sharpen up their act after the | 1:35:44 | 1:35:48 | |
details of Jonny Bairstow's
headbutt. He says Jonny Bairstow | 1:35:48 | 1:35:52 | |
will not be disciplined and that is
something that he does with his | 1:35:52 | 1:35:56 | |
mates who play rugby. The team has
been effectively... Yes, I know, | 1:35:56 | 1:36:01 | |
effectively grounded. | 1:36:01 | 1:36:08 | |
The former England manager
Sam Allardyce is back in the frame | 1:36:08 | 1:36:11 | |
for the Everton job,
and he's now the leading contender. | 1:36:11 | 1:36:14 | |
He had been an early candidate
to succeed Ronald Koeman, | 1:36:14 | 1:36:15 | |
but publicly withdrew after Everton
were slow to make an offer. | 1:36:15 | 1:36:18 | |
But their search has become
increasingly urgent - | 1:36:18 | 1:36:20 | |
they've lost five out of their last
seven games under caretaker boss | 1:36:20 | 1:36:24 | |
David Unsworth. | 1:36:24 | 1:36:24 | |
Karen Carney has withdrawn
from the England squad for today's | 1:36:24 | 1:36:27 | |
World Cup qualifier
against Kazakhstan in Colchester | 1:36:27 | 1:36:29 | |
after injuring an ankle. | 1:36:29 | 1:36:30 | |
The Chelsea winger, who has
been capped 134 times, | 1:36:30 | 1:36:32 | |
joins Demi Stokes on the sidelines. | 1:36:32 | 1:36:34 | |
England have won their
first two qualifiers. | 1:36:34 | 1:36:36 | |
And you can watch that
game live on BBC Two, | 1:36:36 | 1:36:39 | |
kickoff at 7:05am. | 1:36:39 | 1:36:40 | |
Wales also play tonight,
away to Bosnia-Herzegovina. | 1:36:40 | 1:36:41 | |
And the horse at Sports Personality
of the Year was Red Rum. Great | 1:36:41 | 1:36:45 | |
memory! I was a big fan. Sorry about
the interruption. That's OK. The | 1:36:45 | 1:36:54 | |
last time it happened I turned it
off because I mentioned Syria on the | 1:36:54 | 1:36:59 | |
bulletin and if what I was asking
question. I remember. Live TV. You | 1:36:59 | 1:37:04 | |
would think that you would have
learned. I will learn one day. | 1:37:04 | 1:37:08 | |
It's the story that's made
headlines across the globe, | 1:37:08 | 1:37:10 | |
the engagement of Prince Harry
to the American actress Meghan | 1:37:10 | 1:37:13 | |
Markle. | 1:37:13 | 1:37:14 | |
They've announced plans to marry
in spring 2018 and have been talking | 1:37:14 | 1:37:18 | |
to the BBC's Mishal Husain about how
they met, what happened when Harry | 1:37:18 | 1:37:21 | |
propsed and their plans
for the future. | 1:37:21 | 1:37:29 | |
The friend who introduced you, what
she tried to set you up? Yes, a | 1:37:29 | 1:37:34 | |
setup, a blind date, and it is so
interesting because we talk about it | 1:37:34 | 1:37:38 | |
now and even then because I am from
the States, you don't grow up with | 1:37:38 | 1:37:44 | |
the same understanding of the Royal
family, and so, while I understand | 1:37:44 | 1:37:48 | |
clearly that there is a global
interest, I didn't know much about | 1:37:48 | 1:37:53 | |
him. And so the only thing I asked
her when she said she wanted to set | 1:37:53 | 1:37:58 | |
us up was, was he nice? It happened
a few weeks ago, only this month, | 1:37:58 | 1:38:04 | |
here at our cottage, just a
standard, typical night. Just a cosy | 1:38:04 | 1:38:11 | |
night, what were we doing, roasting
chicken? Trying to roast chicken. | 1:38:11 | 1:38:16 | |
And it was just an amazing surprise.
It was so sweet and natural and very | 1:38:16 | 1:38:20 | |
romantic. He got on one knee. Of
course. Was it an instant yes? Yes, | 1:38:20 | 1:38:28 | |
as a matter of fact, I couldn't let
you finish proposing. She wouldn't | 1:38:28 | 1:38:33 | |
let me finish. The ring is yellow
gold, because that is her favourite. | 1:38:33 | 1:38:37 | |
And the main stone itself I sourced
from Botswana. And the diamonds | 1:38:37 | 1:38:42 | |
either side are from my mother's
jewellery collection to make sure | 1:38:42 | 1:38:46 | |
that she is with us on this crazy
journey together. It is beautiful. | 1:38:46 | 1:38:52 | |
And he designed it. It is
incredible. Yes. Yes. Some of that | 1:38:52 | 1:38:59 | |
scrutiny, you made public statements
about it, some of the scrutiny was | 1:38:59 | 1:39:03 | |
centred around your ethnicity,
Meghan. When you realised that, what | 1:39:03 | 1:39:07 | |
did you think? Of course it is
disheartening, you know. It is a | 1:39:07 | 1:39:13 | |
shame that that is the climate in
this world. And we have never put | 1:39:13 | 1:39:18 | |
any focus on that. We have just
focused on who we are as a couple. | 1:39:18 | 1:39:23 | |
And so when you take all those extra
layers away and all that noise, I | 1:39:23 | 1:39:27 | |
think it makes it really easy to
just enjoy being together. Have you | 1:39:27 | 1:39:32 | |
met the Queen? I have, yes. A couple
of times. A couple of times. What | 1:39:32 | 1:39:39 | |
was it like? It is incredible. I
think, you know, A, to meet her | 1:39:39 | 1:39:45 | |
through his lens, not just through
his honour and respect for her as | 1:39:45 | 1:39:49 | |
the monarch, but the love he has for
her as his grandmother, all of those | 1:39:49 | 1:39:54 | |
layers have been so important for
me, so that when I met her I had a | 1:39:54 | 1:39:58 | |
deep understanding and of course
incredible respect for being able to | 1:39:58 | 1:40:01 | |
have that time with her. And we have
had a really... She is an incredible | 1:40:01 | 1:40:09 | |
woman. And the corgis
LAUGHTER | 1:40:09 | 1:40:13 | |
woman. And the corgis
LAUGHTER. | 1:40:13 | 1:40:13 | |
After 30 years of putting up with
them... Just lying on my feet. It | 1:40:13 | 1:40:18 | |
was very sweet. The corgis was the
important thing. It was the detail | 1:40:18 | 1:40:23 | |
that we got. | 1:40:23 | 1:40:24 | |
We expect to get
more details later today | 1:40:24 | 1:40:26 | |
about where and when the next
Royal wedding will take place. | 1:40:26 | 1:40:29 | |
This is a stroy being talked
about around the world, | 1:40:29 | 1:40:32 | |
so let's gauge reaction on both
sides of the Atlantic. | 1:40:32 | 1:40:35 | |
Royal Historian Kate Williams
is outside Buckingham Palace, | 1:40:35 | 1:40:37 | |
and from Los Angeles we're joined
by Melanie Bromley from E News. | 1:40:37 | 1:40:40 | |
Good morning. Thank you for joining
us. Kate, outside Buckingham Palace, | 1:40:40 | 1:40:47 | |
it was fascinating watching the
interview. What did you make of what | 1:40:47 | 1:40:51 | |
they had to say? Well, it was a
really wonderful interview. I think | 1:40:51 | 1:40:55 | |
what really came over how this is a
young couple in love, they are so | 1:40:55 | 1:41:00 | |
engaged, so affectionate, and they
see their future partnership - they | 1:41:00 | 1:41:04 | |
were talking about how they see
their partnership after marriage, | 1:41:04 | 1:41:06 | |
how they want to do a lot of good
for the world, work together. Prince | 1:41:06 | 1:41:11 | |
Harry has been doing important
charity work with the Invictus Games | 1:41:11 | 1:41:15 | |
and Meghan has worked for the UN,
studied international relations, | 1:41:15 | 1:41:20 | |
worked with World Vision, so
interesting to see the future | 1:41:20 | 1:41:25 | |
partnership, that there is a lot of
work to do, and that is why they | 1:41:25 | 1:41:29 | |
will have a very successful
relationship. They are deeply in | 1:41:29 | 1:41:32 | |
love and well-suited. It will be a
working charity and working | 1:41:32 | 1:41:36 | |
partnership as well which is what
they both want. And do you think it | 1:41:36 | 1:41:40 | |
will change the Royal family? I
think it is significant. I think | 1:41:40 | 1:41:46 | |
Meghan is a breath of fresh air. She
is very different. Of course as they | 1:41:46 | 1:41:50 | |
said they were some very cruel and
difficult, harassment and abusive | 1:41:50 | 1:41:56 | |
coverage of the relationship when it
broke last year. Some racism and | 1:41:56 | 1:42:01 | |
misogyny. And really Meghan has been
a very powerful voice about feminism | 1:42:01 | 1:42:05 | |
and particularly about racism and
what she suffered as a biracial | 1:42:05 | 1:42:08 | |
woman and the racism she suffered.
So the fact that she will be on the | 1:42:08 | 1:42:12 | |
balcony waving out as part of this
league group seen as rather stuffy, | 1:42:12 | 1:42:17 | |
people predicted Prince Harry's
future brighter since he was little, | 1:42:17 | 1:42:20 | |
and it was usually a British Arista
great. He has chosen someone | 1:42:20 | 1:42:25 | |
completely different. -- Arista
great. The Royal family is symbolic. | 1:42:25 | 1:42:30 | |
This has a big symbolic significance
I think. Tell us a little about | 1:42:30 | 1:42:34 | |
royal protocol from now on. There
are so many details we don't have at | 1:42:34 | 1:42:38 | |
this point. Yes, we expect a
briefing today about when and where | 1:42:38 | 1:42:42 | |
the wedding will be, the top choice
is Windsor, certainly because it | 1:42:42 | 1:42:46 | |
won't be a bank holiday, it won't be
a huge day or celebration as we saw | 1:42:46 | 1:42:50 | |
with William and Kate as a future
king. At present what they will aim | 1:42:50 | 1:42:54 | |
for is something quiet. I believe
she is going for Christmas at | 1:42:54 | 1:42:58 | |
Sandringham with the Queen and the
other royals. She will move into | 1:42:58 | 1:43:02 | |
Nottingham cottage in Kensington so
they are neighbours with William and | 1:43:02 | 1:43:06 | |
Kate. And we will see a small
wedding. It will be a massive media | 1:43:06 | 1:43:10 | |
extravaganza. They are incredibly
popular. She gets so much coverage. | 1:43:10 | 1:43:15 | |
He is so popular. A favourite rumour
is Serena Williams might be | 1:43:15 | 1:43:20 | |
bridesmaid and that would be
marvellous to see one of the | 1:43:20 | 1:43:23 | |
greatest tennis players walking up
with Meghan Markle as a bridesmaid. | 1:43:23 | 1:43:26 | |
What a great rumour. Thank you.
And there will be plenty more of | 1:43:26 | 1:43:31 | |
those. Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle's engagement has been big | 1:43:31 | 1:43:34 | |
stateside. | 1:43:34 | 1:43:35 | |
Let's speak to Melanie Bromley
who is the Chief news correspondent | 1:43:35 | 1:43:38 | |
at E News in Los Angeles. | 1:43:38 | 1:43:40 | |
Good morning to you, Melanie. Give
us a flavour of how it has gone down | 1:43:40 | 1:43:46 | |
in the States. In America, it has
been waiting for a royal family | 1:43:46 | 1:43:51 | |
here. Of course they have spoken
about it for years. This is it | 1:43:51 | 1:43:55 | |
really. Having an American in the
British Royal family. And Meghan | 1:43:55 | 1:43:58 | |
Markle is somebody who has grown up.
She has obviously been a TV actress. | 1:43:58 | 1:44:04 | |
She has this very interesting
lifestyle. So to capture the heart | 1:44:04 | 1:44:11 | |
of the prince, who in America is
someone they really adopted, ever | 1:44:11 | 1:44:15 | |
since the death of his mother, so
for Harry to pick an American bride | 1:44:15 | 1:44:20 | |
is hugely significant over here. And
she seems to have been preparing for | 1:44:20 | 1:44:25 | |
this scrutiny that she will have had
already and will continue to get | 1:44:25 | 1:44:29 | |
through the rest of her life. She
closed down her social media site. | 1:44:29 | 1:44:33 | |
She stopped the lifestyle website
she was running as well. Seemingly | 1:44:33 | 1:44:38 | |
in preparation for her new life, as
part of the Royal family. We saw the | 1:44:38 | 1:44:44 | |
signs and one year ago when Harry
released the statement and then she | 1:44:44 | 1:44:49 | |
started to fall in line with royal
protocol. Four were to continue on | 1:44:49 | 1:44:53 | |
the TV show the idea that she might
in her role as Rachel Zane be doing | 1:44:53 | 1:44:58 | |
sex scenes or love scenes or
whatever it might be really didn't | 1:44:58 | 1:45:02 | |
fit in with her future role, which
is a new platform where she can help | 1:45:02 | 1:45:06 | |
Harry and also do good around the
world, which of course, as an | 1:45:06 | 1:45:10 | |
actress, she was also a massive
philanthropist as well and was able | 1:45:10 | 1:45:14 | |
to do that anyway. This is something
that is important for her. She is | 1:45:14 | 1:45:19 | |
falling in line. She is doing
exactly what she wants to do. She | 1:45:19 | 1:45:23 | |
understands that by being with Harry
she will have a bigger platform and | 1:45:23 | 1:45:27 | |
impact and that is incredibly
important to her. Kate was talking | 1:45:27 | 1:45:31 | |
about it as a historical
significance and symbolism of Prince | 1:45:31 | 1:45:38 | |
Harry marrying an ordinary American,
I know she is famous and has been on | 1:45:38 | 1:45:42 | |
TV and is well-known, but give us an
idea from the American perspective, | 1:45:42 | 1:45:47 | |
someone outside the Royal family,
outside the typical circle of being | 1:45:47 | 1:45:55 | |
a royal. We talked about Kate being
a commoner and catching the heart of | 1:45:55 | 1:45:59 | |
William, breaking down the class
boundary. You know, with Meghan, | 1:45:59 | 1:46:05 | |
breaking down the racial divide, it
represents the future of the | 1:46:05 | 1:46:08 | |
monarchy. This future where we have
this ideal world we would all like | 1:46:08 | 1:46:12 | |
to live in. And I know there is much
talk about the wedding being | 1:46:12 | 1:46:16 | |
something small and much smaller
than William and Kate. In some ways | 1:46:16 | 1:46:21 | |
there is a real hunger over here to
see Harry happy and to get that | 1:46:21 | 1:46:25 | |
happy ever after. And for that
reason I think we want a big | 1:46:25 | 1:46:31 | |
wedding. When there is the clock
choice at the moment, we want to see | 1:46:31 | 1:46:37 | |
it Meghan and Harry on the balcony
at Buckingham Palace waving. People | 1:46:37 | 1:46:42 | |
are so excited for her. And the
future that she will have with | 1:46:42 | 1:46:45 | |
Harry. I am sure you will get all of
those pictures soon. | 1:46:45 | 1:46:53 | |
You know Donald Trump comments on
everything these days, but nothing | 1:46:53 | 1:46:56 | |
yet on Twitter. While. We await with
bated breath. Matt is looking at the | 1:46:56 | 1:47:03 | |
weather again. This is fabulous!
That is beautiful. Good morning. | 1:47:03 | 1:47:07 | |
A very good morning to you. We are
in York, we are at the Christmas at | 1:47:09 | 1:47:15 | |
York Museum Gardens Festival. It is
not just lights here, but fire as | 1:47:15 | 1:47:20 | |
well. This installation is a march
to the Vikings, synonymous with the | 1:47:20 | 1:47:24 | |
area. -- is an homage. This is my
favourite one yet because it is | 1:47:24 | 1:47:32 | |
warming me up. It is very chilly
here, as it is across the UK. Quite | 1:47:32 | 1:47:36 | |
a bit of sunshine to come for many
of you today, but would all see more | 1:47:36 | 1:47:41 | |
showers in eastern areas then we
have induced you over past few days. | 1:47:41 | 1:47:44 | |
We have seen a bit of ice with
overnight showers and some frost. | 1:47:44 | 1:47:48 | |
Temperatures close to freezing in
many parts. One isolated showers | 1:47:48 | 1:47:54 | |
drifting across south-west England.
They will quickly disappear and we | 1:47:54 | 1:47:58 | |
will see sunshine about. Northern
Scotland and eastern Scotland will | 1:47:58 | 1:48:02 | |
see showers coming and going through
the day. Some of them heavy across | 1:48:02 | 1:48:06 | |
the coast. Hail and thunder as well,
and we could see sleet and snow. | 1:48:06 | 1:48:12 | |
South-west Scotland stays dry, and
across eastern parts of England we | 1:48:12 | 1:48:16 | |
will see more showers developing in
the afternoon. Further and further | 1:48:16 | 1:48:20 | |
in land, with a strong to gale force
wind. We have the morning shower | 1:48:20 | 1:48:25 | |
here and there are, most places will
be dry in the afternoon. Lots of | 1:48:25 | 1:48:30 | |
sunshine across much of southern
England. South-west England and | 1:48:30 | 1:48:32 | |
across Wales, Waddleton Mac showers
coming and going through the day. A | 1:48:32 | 1:48:41 | |
few showers to come in Northern
Ireland as well. Across the UK, | 1:48:41 | 1:48:46 | |
temperatures down on yesterday,
around 3- eight degrees. It will | 1:48:46 | 1:48:50 | |
feel cold in the wind, especially
across Northern Ireland eastern | 1:48:50 | 1:48:53 | |
areas, where the wind will be at its
strongest. Into this evening and | 1:48:53 | 1:48:57 | |
overnight, the showers will die back
to coastal areas, many in land will | 1:48:57 | 1:49:01 | |
be dry and clear. Many will lead to
a widespread frost developing. You | 1:49:01 | 1:49:05 | |
have the showers, just be wary.
There could be ice on the roads and | 1:49:05 | 1:49:09 | |
into tomorrow morning. Another
chilly start tomorrow, especially in | 1:49:09 | 1:49:13 | |
eastern areas. Showers coming and
going all day long. The showers for | 1:49:13 | 1:49:18 | |
eastern England tomorrow, a few of
them drifting into East Anglia, | 1:49:18 | 1:49:21 | |
maybe the south-east. Parts of
Pembrokeshire, into Cornwall | 1:49:21 | 1:49:26 | |
especially, will have showers. The
wind is making itself known. It is | 1:49:26 | 1:49:34 | |
at its strongest along the North Sea
coasts. If anything, it will be | 1:49:34 | 1:49:39 | |
getting colder still. Some showers
across eastern England will be prone | 1:49:39 | 1:49:43 | |
to sleet and snow. (INAUDIBLE). | 1:49:43 | 1:49:49 | |
Well, we can see from the map what
is happening in East Anglia, but map | 1:49:52 | 1:49:57 | |
has disappeared. -- Matt has
disappeared. We have lost, sorry. He | 1:49:57 | 1:50:03 | |
is OK. But we have lost the line.
The paper cup and the long piece of | 1:50:03 | 1:50:10 | |
string let us down. It is going to
be cold, though. More details in | 1:50:10 | 1:50:14 | |
half an hour. Thursday is the
coldest day of the week by some | 1:50:14 | 1:50:18 | |
distance, so wrap up warm, that is
the unofficial weather report for | 1:50:18 | 1:50:21 | |
you. | 1:50:21 | 1:50:21 | |
All of biggest high street banks
could withstand severe economic | 1:50:21 | 1:50:24 | |
shocks worse than the financial
crisis a decade ago. | 1:50:24 | 1:50:26 | |
It's good news. | 1:50:26 | 1:50:27 | |
Steph has been looking
at the details. | 1:50:27 | 1:50:33 | |
This is a bit of good
news this morning. | 1:50:33 | 1:50:36 | |
The Bank of England has been
undertaking these tests since 2014 - | 1:50:36 | 1:50:39 | |
to make sure whatever the global
economy throws our way, | 1:50:39 | 1:50:42 | |
our banks will be stable
and won't need bailing out. | 1:50:42 | 1:50:44 | |
All seven of the big high
street names passed, | 1:50:44 | 1:50:47 | |
through scenarios including a hard
Brexit, big drops in the value | 1:50:47 | 1:50:50 | |
of our currency the pound,
high unemployment or a collapse | 1:50:50 | 1:50:52 | |
in property prices. | 1:50:52 | 1:51:01 | |
This is what Mark Carney had to say
a moment ago. Despite the severity | 1:51:01 | 1:51:04 | |
of the test, for the first signs of
the bank began stress testing in | 1:51:04 | 1:51:08 | |
2014, no bank needs to strengthen
its capital position as a result. | 1:51:08 | 1:51:12 | |
Informed by the stress test and our
own risk analysis, the FTC also | 1:51:12 | 1:51:15 | |
judges the banking system will
continue to support the real | 1:51:15 | 1:51:20 | |
economy, even in the unlikely event
of a disorderly Brexit. That is the | 1:51:20 | 1:51:25 | |
governor of the Bank of England,
Mark Carney. Vicky Pryce John Isner | 1:51:25 | 1:51:29 | |
now to go over the results. I know
these are fresh off the printer. | 1:51:29 | 1:51:33 | |
What do you make of these results,
it is good news that all the banks | 1:51:33 | 1:51:37 | |
have passed? Very reassuring, of
course. The tests were very severe. | 1:51:37 | 1:51:41 | |
Some people are wondering why they
needed to be so severe. There was a | 1:51:41 | 1:51:45 | |
very substantial fall in the pound
of about 20%. A fall in the GDP of | 1:51:45 | 1:51:51 | |
more than 4%. An increase in
interest rates of 2.4%. And the | 1:51:51 | 1:51:57 | |
question was, would the banks be
able to sustain the losses, which | 1:51:57 | 1:52:01 | |
were likely to come as a result of
that? All banks, including the Royal | 1:52:01 | 1:52:05 | |
Bank of Scotland, which people were
concerned about, they seem to have | 1:52:05 | 1:52:08 | |
passed the test. They are intended
to strengthen the banks' capital | 1:52:08 | 1:52:16 | |
base. Why is it so important? Well,
of course we have Brexit coming up. | 1:52:16 | 1:52:22 | |
That is likely to create financial
uncertainty and possess themselves | 1:52:22 | 1:52:25 | |
seem to suggest that certainly that
volatility that happened because of | 1:52:25 | 1:52:32 | |
Brexit can be sustained by the
banks. What the Bank of England 's | 1:52:32 | 1:52:38 | |
have said, even where we are, it
will be easily covered, but they | 1:52:38 | 1:52:47 | |
will review that. There will be some
other thoughts next year in terms of | 1:52:47 | 1:52:52 | |
whether they need to raise more
capital. Remember, of course, no | 1:52:52 | 1:52:55 | |
individual bank has to raise capital
right now. But what to think as -- | 1:52:55 | 1:53:02 | |
what the bank has said, in the case
of any serious situation, they need | 1:53:02 | 1:53:06 | |
to increase from 4.1% to 4.5%. That
is an increase, but there is much | 1:53:06 | 1:53:15 | |
capital but they want what they term
a regular tree buffer. They cannot | 1:53:15 | 1:53:19 | |
use it in any way except to ensure
that they have it in case of need. | 1:53:19 | 1:53:23 | |
It is good to know it is there. You
mentioned RBS, people were worried | 1:53:23 | 1:53:27 | |
whether RBS would pass. Of course,
it is majority-owned by us, the | 1:53:27 | 1:53:30 | |
taxpayers, through the government?
It will be interesting to see what | 1:53:30 | 1:53:34 | |
happens to RBS shares in the future.
The Chancellor, in his budget on | 1:53:34 | 1:53:37 | |
November 22, said that he intended
to sell about £15 billion worth of | 1:53:37 | 1:53:41 | |
RBS shares. So that would decrease
the share that is actually still | 1:53:41 | 1:53:46 | |
held by the public. But of course
there would still be huge losses, if | 1:53:46 | 1:53:54 | |
you look at the value of whether
shares were when they were still | 1:53:54 | 1:53:58 | |
doing reasonably well, we'll be
losing quite a of money on this. | 1:53:58 | 1:54:07 | |
Actually, the Royal Bank of Scotland
is out of its problems, it has other | 1:54:07 | 1:54:11 | |
problems and issues to deal with,
and maybe there will be an impact on | 1:54:11 | 1:54:14 | |
shares. Might actually lose a little
bit less than they are sold. We will | 1:54:14 | 1:54:18 | |
find out what is happening with the
share price later this morning. | 1:54:18 | 1:54:21 | |
Thank you for talking to us this
morning. That is it for me. | 1:54:21 | 1:54:28 | |
Now, the reaction to a series of
special educational needs this week | 1:54:28 | 1:54:31 | |
has been overwhelming. Thank you to
everybody who has been in touch with | 1:54:31 | 1:54:35 | |
all your stories. The emails as a
coherent on zone is that it -- of | 1:54:35 | 1:54:41 | |
the emails were still coming in
yesterday. I know we are being | 1:54:41 | 1:54:44 | |
inundated again today. Many people
wanted to say thank you to a family | 1:54:44 | 1:54:48 | |
member or carer who did so much to
help them. Earlier, we said we would | 1:54:48 | 1:54:52 | |
play Ryan's story. He has autism and
wanted to thank his dad. Make sure | 1:54:52 | 1:54:56 | |
you keep your eyes on Ryan's dad.
I would like to thank my dad. If it | 1:54:56 | 1:55:01 | |
were not to him I wouldn't be able
to do other things I have done | 1:55:01 | 1:55:05 | |
today. He taught me how to cook, how
to use a washing machine, how to | 1:55:05 | 1:55:09 | |
iron. If it were not the him I
wouldn't be able to do things like | 1:55:09 | 1:55:13 | |
that. He pushed me to my limits,
doing things I never imagined I | 1:55:13 | 1:55:17 | |
would do. If it were not the him I
would never be other to speak to | 1:55:17 | 1:55:21 | |
anybody like you. He taught me
social skills, I struggled talking | 1:55:21 | 1:55:24 | |
to people, he taught me how to look
and how to keep calm in front of | 1:55:24 | 1:55:29 | |
normal people, and people that I
have never met. I'm very lucky, very | 1:55:29 | 1:55:32 | |
lucky. He has made it easy for me,
he is a good light. He is my man. | 1:55:32 | 1:55:45 | |
That is Ryan and his dad Nick. All
this week Hollywood is -- all this | 1:55:45 | 1:55:55 | |
week, we have got messages all week,
but when people get the care they | 1:55:55 | 1:55:59 | |
need, it is so uplifting. What is
lovely as hearing Ryan there, | 1:55:59 | 1:56:03 | |
sometimes you are not able to say
thank you and he just says it so | 1:56:03 | 1:56:07 | |
beautifully as well. One other
message I would like to read you. A | 1:56:07 | 1:56:10 | |
teacher who wanted to remain
anonymous said, I am a teacher at a | 1:56:10 | 1:56:14 | |
special needs school and I feel like
I have doors shut in my face | 1:56:14 | 1:56:18 | |
unidentified pupils with extra
needs. One of my pupils, in order to | 1:56:18 | 1:56:22 | |
put in therapy and one-on-one
support to enhance that the have the | 1:56:22 | 1:56:25 | |
allotment, I was told by senior
development -- senior leadership | 1:56:25 | 1:56:28 | |
that the burrow do not have any
ability to do this so they will not | 1:56:28 | 1:56:32 | |
be pursuing this. After sternly
making my evidence as to why this | 1:56:32 | 1:56:35 | |
boy needed that additional support,
I was begrudgingly told, "We will | 1:56:35 | 1:56:39 | |
think about it". Needless to say I
will one had a percent support the | 1:56:39 | 1:56:43 | |
parents should they decide not to
take this on and to tackle the | 1:56:43 | 1:56:47 | |
burrow at the tribunal. If I was one
of these parents I would cry. As | 1:56:47 | 1:56:51 | |
their teacher, I do cry. They need a
voice and they need a champion to | 1:56:51 | 1:56:55 | |
fight for what they need. That is
what we got, a real sense, | 1:56:55 | 1:56:58 | |
particular today in this series, all
these parents really having to fight | 1:56:58 | 1:57:04 | |
to get their children looked after.
Thank you for your stories. | 1:57:04 | 2:00:26 | |
in half an hour. | 2:00:26 | 2:00:27 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Louise and Dan. | 2:00:27 | 2:00:28 | |

It is Tuesday the 28th of November.
Also for you on the programme this | 2:01:31 | 2:01:36 | |
morning... | 2:01:36 | 2:01:37 | |
A huge rise in the number of parents
fighting to get educational support | 2:01:37 | 2:01:40 | |
for their children -
there's been a 28 per cent increase | 2:01:40 | 2:01:43 | |
in the last year alone . | 2:01:43 | 2:01:47 | |
It's taken every fibre in my body to
fight and I will never, ever give up | 2:01:47 | 2:01:52 | |
for what my daughter needs and is
legally entitled to. Good morning. | 2:01:52 | 2:02:02 | |
All of our major banks could
withstand a major financial crisis - | 2:02:02 | 2:02:05 | |
from a no-deal Brexit to a collapse
in house prices. | 2:02:05 | 2:02:08 | |
In fact today the Bank of England
says they're in better | 2:02:08 | 2:02:10 | |
health than a decade ago. | 2:02:10 | 2:02:11 | |
I'll have all the details. | 2:02:11 | 2:02:13 | |

the UK, increasing chance of showers
especially in the east. I'll have | 2:02:36 | 2:02:41 | |
your full forecast in 15 minutes.
You have been brightening things up. | 2:02:41 | 2:02:44 | |
Hankey. | 2:02:44 | 2:02:46 | |
Good morning.
First, our main story. | 2:02:46 | 2:02:48 | |
More details of Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle's wedding | 2:02:48 | 2:02:50 | |
are expected to be announced today
. | 2:02:50 | 2:02:52 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
indicated the couple | 2:02:52 | 2:02:54 | |
will have a church wedding,
saying the pair had "chosen | 2:02:54 | 2:02:56 | |
to make their vows to God"
in a religious ceremony. | 2:02:56 | 2:02:58 | |
The couple went public
with their engagement yesterday . | 2:02:58 | 2:03:04 | |
I don't think that I would call it
a whirlwind in terms | 2:03:04 | 2:03:07 | |
of our relationship,
obviously there have been layers | 2:03:07 | 2:03:10 | |
attached to how public it has
become, after we had a good five, | 2:03:10 | 2:03:19 | |
six months almost of just
privacy, which was amazing. | 2:03:19 | 2:03:21 | |
But no, I think we were able
to really have so much time just | 2:03:21 | 2:03:25 | |
to connect, and we never went longer
than two weeks without seeing each | 2:03:25 | 2:03:28 | |
other, even though we were obviously
doing a long-distance relationship, | 2:03:28 | 2:03:30 | |
so we made it work. | 2:03:30 | 2:03:38 | |
That is a small part of the
interview they did yesterday with | 2:03:38 | 2:03:44 | |
our BBC reporter Michelle Hussain. | 2:03:44 | 2:03:48 | |
Our correspondent Ian Palmer
is outside Buckingham Palace ...Ian | 2:03:48 | 2:03:50 | |
what more can we expect to find
out today ? | 2:03:50 | 2:03:57 | |
They will. People waiting on
tenterhooks for any snippet of how | 2:03:57 | 2:04:01 | |
this day is going to go. Obviously
it will be in the spring, we don't | 2:04:01 | 2:04:06 | |
know the exact date. Lots of royal
events have at that time. The third | 2:04:06 | 2:04:16 | |
royal baby for William and Kate,
will the royal wedding BB for or | 2:04:16 | 2:04:22 | |
after? It might be slightly easier
attending a wedding with two small | 2:04:22 | 2:04:26 | |
children rather than a third. If it
were to be around the month of May | 2:04:26 | 2:04:34 | |
it might be warmer. The venue itself
we might hear about, people don't | 2:04:34 | 2:04:38 | |
know if it's going to be a grand
wedding or something more modest. It | 2:04:38 | 2:04:43 | |
could be at the guards Chapel just a
small walk away from here or even St | 2:04:43 | 2:04:48 | |
George's Chapel at Windsor. If they
go for the grander scale of wedding | 2:04:48 | 2:04:53 | |
it could be Westminster Abbey or
indeed St Paul's Cathedral. This | 2:04:53 | 2:04:57 | |
will be a massive cultural event, as
we know. Megan Morkel is of mixed | 2:04:57 | 2:05:02 | |
race and because of that, millions
of people will see a little bit of | 2:05:02 | 2:05:07 | |
themselves in a royal wedding for
the first time. -- Megan Mako. | 2:05:07 | 2:05:14 | |
People will take part in this
ultra-event. This is a moderate | 2:05:14 | 2:05:21 | |
marriage for a modern time. --
Meghan Markle. And in a social media | 2:05:21 | 2:05:26 | |
age. If you wanted to get away from
this amazing love union over the | 2:05:26 | 2:05:31 | |
next few months, it will be very
difficult! That you so much. One | 2:05:31 | 2:05:36 | |
thing that has not changed with
royal weddings is the intense | 2:05:36 | 2:05:40 | |
interest from the papers, for
example. Souvenir edition is out | 2:05:40 | 2:05:45 | |
today. Not often that the Telegraph
has one picture dominating the | 2:05:45 | 2:05:50 | |
entire front page and that is there.
16 pages of coverage, they are | 2:05:50 | 2:05:58 | |
competing. Even if you don't want to
talk about it, you are talking about | 2:05:58 | 2:06:01 | |
it. You could be talking about why
you don't want to talk about it. | 2:06:01 | 2:06:05 | |
Souvenir edition of the Daily
Mirror, page after page in The Daily | 2:06:05 | 2:06:11 | |
Express, 24 pages inside the Daily
Mail, 35 inside the Sun newspaper, | 2:06:11 | 2:06:16 | |
with a poster! Another tradition is
a picture of the engagement ring, | 2:06:16 | 2:06:23 | |
inside the Daily Mail, photographers
trying to get a close-up of that, | 2:06:23 | 2:06:27 | |
there you go. More coverage of that
over the next few months. I was | 2:06:27 | 2:06:33 | |
reading that the coat sold-out
immediately. The exact copy is not | 2:06:33 | 2:06:39 | |
even available. They are coats.
There are other news stories this | 2:06:39 | 2:06:44 | |
morning. Let's bring you some more
of those. | 2:06:44 | 2:06:47 | |
New measures are to be introduced
to reduce the number of deaths | 2:06:47 | 2:06:50 | |
and serious injuries
during childbirth in England . | 2:06:50 | 2:06:52 | |
For the first time, parents
of stillborn babies are to be | 2:06:52 | 2:06:55 | |
routinely offered an independent
investigation into what went wrong. | 2:06:55 | 2:06:57 | |
The UK has already reduced
the mortality rate for babies | 2:06:57 | 2:07:01 | |
but still lags behind many other
European countries . | 2:07:01 | 2:07:03 | |
Here's our Health Correspondent,
Dominic Hughes. | 2:07:03 | 2:07:06 | |
Losing twins during pregnancy,
and then having baby Hugo very | 2:07:09 | 2:07:11 | |
prematurely, means Rachel
understands all too well | 2:07:11 | 2:07:15 | |
the challenges
childbirth can present. | 2:07:15 | 2:07:20 | |
Her experience has taught her that
parents and medical staff need to be | 2:07:20 | 2:07:24 | |
more aware of when
things could go wrong. | 2:07:24 | 2:07:28 | |
I think it's education of pregnant
women to never be afraid to ask | 2:07:28 | 2:07:32 | |
questions and raise concerns. | 2:07:32 | 2:07:35 | |
And it's also the medical
establishment in encouraging them | 2:07:35 | 2:07:37 | |
to do so. | 2:07:37 | 2:07:40 | |
Now, the Health Secretary in England
is announcing rather than hospitals | 2:07:40 | 2:07:46 | |
carrying out their own
investigations when things go wrong | 2:07:46 | 2:07:48 | |
an independent review will be
carried out instead. | 2:07:48 | 2:07:51 | |
When I talk to parents
whose heart has been | 2:07:51 | 2:07:53 | |
broken by something
that | 2:07:53 | 2:07:54 | |
has gone wrong in those very
small numbers of cases, | 2:07:54 | 2:07:57 | |
what they say is it's
not about the money, | 2:07:57 | 2:07:59 | |
they just want to know that the NHS
has learned from what went wrong | 2:07:59 | 2:08:05 | |
so that that same mistakes isn't
ever going to happen again. | 2:08:05 | 2:08:08 | |
The UK lags behind many other
European countries when it comes | 2:08:08 | 2:08:10 | |
to preventing baby deaths
and premature births. | 2:08:10 | 2:08:15 | |
There are around nine
stillborn babies every day. | 2:08:15 | 2:08:18 | |
Roughly 50 women still die
in England each year from issues | 2:08:18 | 2:08:20 | |
related to pregnancy. | 2:08:20 | 2:08:23 | |
And around 50,000 babies
are born prematurely. | 2:08:23 | 2:08:27 | |
Progress is being made,
but there are concerns that | 2:08:27 | 2:08:30 | |
difficult lessons
are not being learned. | 2:08:30 | 2:08:34 | |
Seven of our biggest banks have
been put to the test | 2:08:38 | 2:08:41 | |
by the Bank of England today -
to see how they'd cope | 2:08:41 | 2:08:44 | |
in another financial crisis. | 2:08:44 | 2:08:53 | |
Or for example a new deal on Brexit.
-- a new deal. | 2:08:53 | 2:09:00 | |
STEPH's got the results. | 2:09:00 | 2:09:05 | |
They are three times stronger than
they were ten years ago, these tests | 2:09:05 | 2:09:10 | |
have found, they are called stress
tests. One scenario was a massive | 2:09:10 | 2:09:15 | |
rise in unemployment, big rise in
interest rates, property price | 2:09:15 | 2:09:18 | |
crashing, the value of the pound
falling to the lowest level against | 2:09:18 | 2:09:22 | |
the dollar, that type of thing.
Worst case scenario. This is what | 2:09:22 | 2:09:26 | |
the governor Mark Carney of the Bank
of England had to say. Oh, we don't | 2:09:26 | 2:09:32 | |
have a clip, but he did say... He
basically said since they had been | 2:09:32 | 2:09:40 | |
doing these tests back in 2014, when
they started, this is now the first | 2:09:40 | 2:09:45 | |
time all of the banks have passed
them, it's good to see, including | 2:09:45 | 2:09:49 | |
RBS, some people were worried RBS
might struggle with this. | 2:09:49 | 2:09:54 | |
Interestingly he talked about Brexit
as well and what that might mean, | 2:09:54 | 2:09:57 | |
some people are worried about that
uncertainty and further it will | 2:09:57 | 2:10:00 | |
cause a case of Vic financial system
and he says the banks are prepared | 2:10:00 | 2:10:05 | |
for possible Brexit outcomes but he
said the banks will need a two-year | 2:10:05 | 2:10:10 | |
transition period in order to be
able to deal with Brexit in the best | 2:10:10 | 2:10:15 | |
way possible and have a deal as soon
as possible and know the details. | 2:10:15 | 2:10:19 | |
I'm very glad to say you have passed
your stress test, you listened, you | 2:10:19 | 2:10:24 | |
remembered, you told us. I am not
sure I would cope so well with the | 2:10:24 | 2:10:32 | |
Bank of England Governor's job. | 2:10:32 | 2:10:35 | |
When it comes to aspiration
and opportunity England is becoming | 2:10:35 | 2:10:38 | |
increasingly divided according
to a new report . | 2:10:38 | 2:10:40 | |
The Social Mobility Commission says
London and the south-east | 2:10:40 | 2:10:42 | |
are still the best place
for disadvantaged children | 2:10:42 | 2:10:44 | |
to progress, whilst those
in the midlands and coastal areas | 2:10:44 | 2:10:46 | |
have the least opportunities. | 2:10:46 | 2:10:47 | |
The only airport on the Indonesian
island of Bali has been closed | 2:10:50 | 2:10:53 | |
for a second day amid concerns
of a volcanic eruption. | 2:10:53 | 2:10:55 | |
Massive plumes of smoke and ash have
been spewing out of Mount Agung | 2:10:55 | 2:10:58 | |
over the past few days. | 2:10:58 | 2:10:59 | |
Officials have raised the alert
to the highest level | 2:10:59 | 2:11:02 | |
and are evacuating the homes of up
to one hundred thousand people | 2:11:02 | 2:11:05 | |
who live close to the volcano. | 2:11:05 | 2:11:15 | |
11 British overseas tour tree or to
receive money to help them rebuild | 2:11:15 | 2:11:20 | |
after recent storms and tornadoes.
The leaders of the territories are | 2:11:20 | 2:11:24 | |
to meet Theresa May today to update
her on the progress made so far. | 2:11:24 | 2:11:30 | |
Six British men acquitted
over weapons charges | 2:11:30 | 2:11:31 | |
in India have been released. | 2:11:31 | 2:11:32 | |
Known as the Chennai Six,
they were part of a crew on board | 2:11:32 | 2:11:35 | |
an American ship seized
by the Indian coast | 2:11:35 | 2:11:37 | |
guard in October 2013. | 2:11:37 | 2:11:38 | |
They'd been charged with entering
India illegally with weapons | 2:11:38 | 2:11:41 | |
and convicted last year. | 2:11:41 | 2:11:43 | |
All charges were dropped yesterday. | 2:11:43 | 2:11:51 | |
We spoke to two members of their
family and they really didn't think | 2:11:51 | 2:11:54 | |
that would happen, they were so
nervous thinking about the prospect | 2:11:54 | 2:11:58 | |
of the judgement and it's so great
it's gone that way. It's been one of | 2:11:58 | 2:12:04 | |
the UK's greatest conservation
stories, red kites went from the | 2:12:04 | 2:12:09 | |
brink of extinction to being a
common sight of the recovery could | 2:12:09 | 2:12:12 | |
be derailed because of poisoning by
humans, that's according to the | 2:12:12 | 2:12:16 | |
European Journal of wildlife
research. Postmortem tests on the | 2:12:16 | 2:12:21 | |
birds said many died after consuming
lead shots and pesticides. You are | 2:12:21 | 2:12:25 | |
up-to-date. Good morning, you are
watching breakfast. Every day in the | 2:12:25 | 2:12:29 | |
UK nine babies die before, during or
soon after birth. | 2:12:29 | 2:12:37 | |
The reasons why can be complex
and varied, but some grieving | 2:12:37 | 2:12:40 | |
parents feel they never really know
exactly what went wrong. | 2:12:40 | 2:12:42 | |
Now, for the first time,
the NHS will offer an independent | 2:12:42 | 2:12:45 | |
investigation for every stillborn
child over the age of 24 weeks. | 2:12:45 | 2:12:47 | |
Research suggests more
than half of these deaths | 2:12:47 | 2:12:49 | |
could have been prevented. | 2:12:49 | 2:12:54 | |
Joining us now is Rachel Corry,
whose twin boys died | 2:12:54 | 2:12:57 | |
during premature birth. | 2:12:57 | 2:12:58 | |
Her son Hugo was later born
with severe complications. | 2:12:58 | 2:13:00 | |
And, in our London newsroom,
Dr Alexander Heazell, | 2:13:00 | 2:13:02 | |
clinical director of
the Tommy's Stillbirth | 2:13:02 | 2:13:03 | |
Research Centre. | 2:13:03 | 2:13:09 | |
Good morning to you both and thank
you so much for joining us and | 2:13:09 | 2:13:13 | |
Rachel, particularly, thank you so
much for joining us. So many parents | 2:13:13 | 2:13:18 | |
have so many questions unanswered.
Tell us what happened to you. I had | 2:13:18 | 2:13:21 | |
a child born very easily, no
complications, all went to plan, | 2:13:21 | 2:13:28 | |
excuse me. If you use later I became
pregnant with twins, having already | 2:13:28 | 2:13:34 | |
gone through pregnancy, I just took
it all in my stride, I felt | 2:13:34 | 2:13:39 | |
different at times but I dismissed
it. Just under 23 weeks I went into | 2:13:39 | 2:13:43 | |
labour prematurely and both my twin
boys were stillborn. So sad to hear | 2:13:43 | 2:13:50 | |
that. Would you ever given an
explanation about what happened? Not | 2:13:50 | 2:13:56 | |
really, we had a debriefing session
with the consultant and the | 2:13:56 | 2:13:59 | |
bereavement midwife who were
supportive of they said they | 2:13:59 | 2:14:03 | |
couldn't explain why it happened,
essentially having had a full term | 2:14:03 | 2:14:07 | |
birth. Would it have helped you if
you had been able to get the answers | 2:14:07 | 2:14:13 | |
to presumably lots of different
questions? It would have helped | 2:14:13 | 2:14:18 | |
hugely, when you lose a baby you
want to know why, why has it | 2:14:18 | 2:14:22 | |
happened, what can I do to stop it
happening again? Those for myself | 2:14:22 | 2:14:26 | |
and other people because she would
not wish this on your worst enemy. | 2:14:26 | 2:14:30 | |
Let's put some of these points to
our medical expert, Croatia, Poland, | 2:14:30 | 2:14:37 | |
the Czech Republic at better rates
and it comes to things like | 2:14:37 | 2:14:41 | |
stillbirth than the UK, what is the
extra nation? Varied range of | 2:14:41 | 2:14:49 | |
courses of stillbirth. -- what is
the explanation? We know women from | 2:14:49 | 2:14:54 | |
black and ethnic minority groups
have a higher risk of stillbirth, | 2:14:54 | 2:14:57 | |
the more diverse your population the
greater the variance of stillbirth | 2:14:57 | 2:15:02 | |
you might see. We know things like
social inequality and access to | 2:15:02 | 2:15:07 | |
health care play a role. So there
are many come placated factors and I | 2:15:07 | 2:15:13 | |
think one of the encouraging thing
is that we have seen in the UK in | 2:15:13 | 2:15:18 | |
the last few years is quite a
significant fall in the rates of | 2:15:18 | 2:15:22 | |
stillbirth and that shows us that
improvements can be made. | 2:15:22 | 2:15:33 | |
It seemed extrod to me that a lot of
these things that go wrong are not | 2:15:33 | 2:15:38 | |
fully investigated because
presumably you can learn so much | 2:15:38 | 2:15:40 | |
from things that happen? Absolutely.
It is important for parents to have | 2:15:40 | 2:15:46 | |
access to as many of the answers
with regard to their care as | 2:15:46 | 2:15:51 | |
possible and certainly if where
their care could have been improved | 2:15:51 | 2:15:56 | |
it's important that we learn
lessons. In every case, we won't | 2:15:56 | 2:16:02 | |
find an answer, but it is important
that parents have a knowledge that | 2:16:02 | 2:16:06 | |
their case has been taken on board
and any lessons that can be learned | 2:16:06 | 2:16:10 | |
are. Every day in the UK nine babies
die before, during or soon after | 2:16:10 | 2:16:16 | |
birth. There will be many families
going through this and who will go | 2:16:16 | 2:16:22 | |
through this this week as well. The
investigation, you don't want | 2:16:22 | 2:16:26 | |
anybody to go through what you and
your family have been through and | 2:16:26 | 2:16:31 | |
the difference that could make and
it would make to so many others. If | 2:16:31 | 2:16:35 | |
there was a proper investigation we
would understand what the risks were | 2:16:35 | 2:16:38 | |
and what we could do about them
because it is terrifying going knee | 2:16:38 | 2:16:42 | |
another pregnancy thinking we don't
know why things went wrong last | 2:16:42 | 2:16:45 | |
time. How can we prevent them
happening again? It's just very | 2:16:45 | 2:16:50 | |
harrowing. It's all to do with
dealing with the death as well. | 2:16:50 | 2:16:55 | |
Dealing with the bereavement is
really, really hard and at least if | 2:16:55 | 2:16:58 | |
you have some answers, you can try
and make some sense out of it. You | 2:16:58 | 2:17:03 | |
did fall pregnant again and you have
a beautiful son, Hugo. We can see a | 2:17:03 | 2:17:08 | |
picture of Hugo now. I had brilliant
antenatal care and I can't fault it. | 2:17:08 | 2:17:14 | |
I was monitored closely and given
all the help available. How much did | 2:17:14 | 2:17:20 | |
he weigh? 1lb 8. Despite the
brilliant treatment I got, it looked | 2:17:20 | 2:17:27 | |
like history was going to repeat
itself. My antenatal team put me on | 2:17:27 | 2:17:36 | |
a bed tilted downwards to keep him
in as long as possible. He was born | 2:17:36 | 2:17:40 | |
at 24 weeks and six days. Two weeks
further on than my second twin and | 2:17:40 | 2:17:47 | |
luckily for us, he made it. Every
day can make a big difference. | 2:17:47 | 2:17:52 | |
Professor, when do you think we will
start seeing results and things | 2:17:52 | 2:17:55 | |
changing a little bit more? I think
there is a series of initiatives. | 2:17:55 | 2:18:00 | |
There is the saving babies lives
care bundle. In the last few years | 2:18:00 | 2:18:05 | |
there has been a fall, we hope that
carries on and we can meet the | 2:18:05 | 2:18:09 | |
Secretary of State's target that we
reduce still births by 50% by 2030. | 2:18:09 | 2:18:14 | |
I think the investment particularly
in investigating and trying to | 2:18:14 | 2:18:20 | |
prevent pre-term birth is welcome as
is the support for reviewing all of | 2:18:20 | 2:18:25 | |
these deaths. OK, professor
Alexander and Rachel, thank you very | 2:18:25 | 2:18:30 | |
much for coming to tell us your
story. Hugo is two now, isn't he? He | 2:18:30 | 2:18:34 | |
is. Give him a big cuddle from us.
More details on the Royal Wedding of | 2:18:34 | 2:18:43 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are
expected to be revealed later on | 2:18:43 | 2:18:46 | |
today. New measures to drastically
cut the number of still births and | 2:18:46 | 2:18:52 | |
maternal deaths in England have been
announced by the Health Secretary. | 2:18:52 | 2:19:04 | |
Matt is in a sleigh now! Well, Dan
said he was feeling festive. How is | 2:19:06 | 2:19:14 | |
this for my mode of transport? I
could do with a cover on because it | 2:19:14 | 2:19:24 | |
is cold outside and the forecast for
the whole of the UK is for the cold | 2:19:24 | 2:19:27 | |
weather to dominate. Just not
through today, but through the rest | 2:19:27 | 2:19:30 | |
of this week. Cold with a mixture of
sunshine and showers. Some of you | 2:19:30 | 2:19:37 | |
seeing more of one than the other.
There is ice too across parts of | 2:19:37 | 2:19:42 | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland, parts of
Wales, and north-west Midlands and | 2:19:42 | 2:19:47 | |
north-west England, but the showers
have faded. One or two showers this | 2:19:47 | 2:19:49 | |
morning in the South East of
England. They will disappear. We | 2:19:49 | 2:19:53 | |
will have sunshine through the day,
but we will see more showers | 2:19:53 | 2:19:57 | |
develop, east of Scotland and
through eastern parts of England. By | 2:19:57 | 2:19:59 | |
the time we hit the end of the
afternoon, head towards the school | 2:19:59 | 2:20:03 | |
journey home and into the rush hour
and we will have plenty of showers, | 2:20:03 | 2:20:07 | |
northern and Eastern Scotland and
into the north-east of England. | 2:20:07 | 2:20:09 | |
There will be sleet and snow over
the higher ground too. A cold wind | 2:20:09 | 2:20:12 | |
making it feel raw as well. But that
said, south-west Scotland, not a bad | 2:20:12 | 2:20:16 | |
day for you. Lots of sunshine.
North-west England staying dry too. | 2:20:16 | 2:20:20 | |
After a dry morning and clear
morning across much of the Midlands, | 2:20:20 | 2:20:23 | |
more cloud through the afternoon,
East Midlands could catch one or two | 2:20:23 | 2:20:28 | |
isolated rain showers. Much of East
Anglia and the South East, once | 2:20:28 | 2:20:31 | |
we've lost the isolated shower we
have at the moment, most will have a | 2:20:31 | 2:20:34 | |
dry and bright day ahead, but it
will feel colder than yesterday | 2:20:34 | 2:20:37 | |
across most of the UK. Temperatures
well down on what we saw. At best in | 2:20:37 | 2:20:42 | |
southern most counties. Even with
the sunshine around eight Celsius. | 2:20:42 | 2:20:46 | |
South-west England, still showers to
come through the day as we will see | 2:20:46 | 2:20:49 | |
in Wales. Not as many as yesterday.
Mainly of rain too. There will be a | 2:20:49 | 2:20:54 | |
wintry element to the showers in
Northern Ireland. Some hail and | 2:20:54 | 2:20:56 | |
sleet mixed in with them and
temperatures in the northern half of | 2:20:56 | 2:20:59 | |
the UK around three to five Celsius
for many. Into tonight, most of the | 2:20:59 | 2:21:04 | |
showers are inland will fade away,
but we will see the showers continue | 2:21:04 | 2:21:08 | |
around the coast. A chilly and raw
wind will dominate across eastern | 2:21:08 | 2:21:12 | |
parts of England. Where you have got
the clear skies, there will be a | 2:21:12 | 2:21:16 | |
frost. Where you have got showers,
followed by clear skies, the chance | 2:21:16 | 2:21:19 | |
of ice on roads af pavements into
the morning. That takes us into | 2:21:19 | 2:21:22 | |
Wednesday. Colder wind. More showers
across eastern England, eastern | 2:21:22 | 2:21:26 | |
parts of Scotland where an increased
chance of sleet. Snow to the higher | 2:21:26 | 2:21:30 | |
ground. Central and western areas
always drier and brighter, | 2:21:30 | 2:21:37 | |
Pembrokeshire and Cornwall, there
will be a few showers. Feeling | 2:21:37 | 2:21:41 | |
colder still into Thursday, still
with plenty of showers across | 2:21:41 | 2:21:44 | |
eastern areas. That's how it's
looking. I'm off to get this on the | 2:21:44 | 2:21:47 | |
go! I will be back in half an hour.
. It is a perfect sleigh. Thank you | 2:21:47 | 2:21:54 | |
so much, Matt. Wonderful. Thank you
very much. | 2:21:54 | 2:21:58 | |
We've had an overwhelming reaction
to our series shining a light | 2:22:01 | 2:22:04 | |
on special educational needs this
week and lots of you have been | 2:22:04 | 2:22:07 | |
in touch with your stories. | 2:22:07 | 2:22:08 | |
We've tackled some of the big issues
facing families living with special | 2:22:08 | 2:22:11 | |
needs and disabilities but we also
wanted to hear from some | 2:22:11 | 2:22:13 | |
of the young people
at the centre of these stories. | 2:22:13 | 2:22:16 | |
So we went to Oakwood Academy,
a special school in Eccles. | 2:22:16 | 2:22:23 | |
I have muscular dystrophy. Learning
difficulties and autism. I have | 2:22:28 | 2:22:32 | |
ADHT. Autism. Asperger's. KBG
syndrome. I have down syndrome. I | 2:22:32 | 2:22:46 | |
have a speech impairment. When
people give me wrong instructions I | 2:22:46 | 2:22:54 | |
tend to forget or ask questions.
Socially I'm very shy round people | 2:22:54 | 2:22:58 | |
and if I talk to someone I know my
body feels like it's in flames. When | 2:22:58 | 2:23:04 | |
I get upset I jump up and down in
frustration. I struggle with | 2:23:04 | 2:23:09 | |
reading, telling the time, spelling
and at times with my writing. I | 2:23:09 | 2:23:16 | |
don't have strong muscles like
everyone else. I can't concentrate. | 2:23:16 | 2:23:21 | |
I'm bouncy like Tiger. Some muscles
don't work like other people's. | 2:23:21 | 2:23:29 | |
People may think I don't understand
things, but I do. Other people may | 2:23:29 | 2:23:34 | |
struggle I struggle with everything,
but I don't. Sometimes in public I | 2:23:34 | 2:23:37 | |
get a lot of people staring. People
say to me, "Can you take the mick | 2:23:37 | 2:23:45 | |
out of me?" I want to be a dancer
when I'm older. A costume designer. | 2:23:45 | 2:23:52 | |
I would like to work with children
when I leave sixth form. I want to | 2:23:52 | 2:24:01 | |
do something industry to do with
sport. Personal trainer or in PE. | 2:24:01 | 2:24:05 | |
Right now, I want to be a
professional wrestler. My mum and | 2:24:05 | 2:24:10 | |
dad are my inspiration. They helped
me a lot and get me where I am | 2:24:10 | 2:24:14 | |
today. My brother, Ben because he
has the same. Disability as me. He's | 2:24:14 | 2:24:22 | |
22 years old and he goes to
university. My inspiration is | 2:24:22 | 2:24:34 | |
Whitney Houston. To be a volunteer
at youth club. Getting my first job. | 2:24:34 | 2:24:41 | |
To represent the country playing
wheelchair football. When I was a | 2:24:41 | 2:24:48 | |
kid the doctor told me I would never
talk. So, through the years it got | 2:24:48 | 2:24:53 | |
better. So I'm proud of that.
Amazing. | 2:24:53 | 2:25:07 | |
They are all from the oak-wood
Academy. You can tell how much they | 2:25:07 | 2:25:12 | |
cared about making sure they got
across the right message there. It | 2:25:12 | 2:25:15 | |
is a subject matter that's touched
so many of our viewers and thank you | 2:25:15 | 2:25:19 | |
to so many of you who got in
contact. | 2:25:19 | 2:25:22 | |
If you'd like to get in touch
with us about your stories, | 2:25:22 | 2:25:25 | |
e-mail [email protected],
or tweet us using | 2:25:25 | 2:25:26 | |

I will be speaking to Carey and
David Grant who has got children | 2:25:39 | 2:25:43 | |
with autism and finding out what
life will be like. | 2:25:43 | 2:25:47 | |
Lay and Sarah got in contact to say,
"Our child is nine years old. We are | 2:25:47 | 2:25:52 | |
going through the tribunal process.
We spent approximately £10,000 to | 2:25:52 | 2:25:58 | |
date. The tactics by the local
authority have employed have been | 2:25:58 | 2:26:03 | |
shocking and under hand.
This is anonymous. "It was a fight | 2:26:03 | 2:26:11 | |
with the authority to access
appropriate support for some of my | 2:26:11 | 2:26:14 | |
pupils. I tried very hard in support
of the parents, but not always | 2:26:14 | 2:26:17 | |
successful. The authorities had a
limited budget and since I've | 2:26:17 | 2:26:23 | |
retired the budget has deceased
again. The resulting stress on | 2:26:23 | 2:26:26 | |
families and teachers is truly sad."
That's the sense you get today from | 2:26:26 | 2:26:29 | |
what we have been doing. We have
been talking about how many parents | 2:26:29 | 2:26:32 | |
had to go to tribunal to get
educational support. They are having | 2:26:32 | 2:26:36 | |
to fight to get the support they
need and they have got not just | 2:26:36 | 2:26:42 | |
parents, but teachers and special
needs co-ordinators all in the | 2:26:42 | 2:26:46 | |
battle to get the support they need.
We have been talking about the Royal | 2:26:46 | 2:26:51 | |
Wedding and cheese. It is a strange
link. I have been reading that when | 2:26:51 | 2:26:57 | |
Victoria and Albert were married in
1840, they celebrated by having a | 2:26:57 | 2:27:01 | |
nine-foot cheese! That's a big old
cheese. | 2:27:01 | 2:27:06 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 2:27:06 | 2:27:09 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 2:30:35 | 2:30:41 | |
It is 8:30am. | 2:30:41 | 2:30:44 | |
More details of Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle's wedding | 2:30:44 | 2:30:47 | |
are expected to be announced today. | 2:30:47 | 2:30:48 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
indicated the couple | 2:30:48 | 2:30:52 | |
will have a church wedding,
saying the pair had chosen | 2:30:52 | 2:30:54 | |
to make their vows to God
in a religious ceremony. | 2:30:54 | 2:30:57 | |
The couple went public
with their engagement yesterday. | 2:30:57 | 2:30:59 | |
The fact that I fell in love
with Meghan so incredibly quickly, | 2:30:59 | 2:31:02 | |
was confirmation to me that
all the stars were aligned, | 2:31:02 | 2:31:04 | |
everything was perfect. | 2:31:04 | 2:31:08 | |
This beautiful woman tripped
and fell into my life, | 2:31:08 | 2:31:11 | |
I fell into her life. | 2:31:11 | 2:31:15 | |
And the fact that she will be
unbelievably good at the job part | 2:31:15 | 2:31:18 | |
of it as well is obviously a huge
relief to me, because she will be | 2:31:18 | 2:31:22 | |
able to deal with everything
else that comes with it. | 2:31:22 | 2:31:33 | |
So much detail coming out in the
interview about the proposal, the | 2:31:33 | 2:31:37 | |
corgis love her, all sorts.
Winner winner chicken dinner, wasn't | 2:31:37 | 2:31:42 | |
it? That's the way he sealed the
deal. We will tell you about other | 2:31:42 | 2:31:48 | |
news throughout the next six months,
of course! | 2:31:48 | 2:31:51 | |
New measures are to be introduced
to reduce the number of deaths | 2:31:51 | 2:31:54 | |
and serious injuries
during childbirth in England. | 2:31:54 | 2:31:56 | |
For the first time, parents
of stillborn babies are to be | 2:31:56 | 2:31:58 | |
routinely offered an independent
investigation into what went wrong. | 2:31:58 | 2:32:01 | |
The UK has already reduced
the mortality rate for babies | 2:32:01 | 2:32:03 | |
but still lags behind many
other European countries. | 2:32:03 | 2:32:07 | |
Our seven biggest high street banks
can survive shocks worse | 2:32:07 | 2:32:10 | |
than the financial crisis -
according to annual tests run | 2:32:10 | 2:32:12 | |
by the Bank of England. | 2:32:12 | 2:32:15 | |
Banks have sufficient resources
to cope with a hard Brexit, | 2:32:15 | 2:32:17 | |
big drops in the value of the pound,
high unemployment or a collapse | 2:32:17 | 2:32:21 | |
in the property market. | 2:32:21 | 2:32:22 | |
The Bank concluded they are three
times more resilient | 2:32:22 | 2:32:25 | |
than they were a decade ago. | 2:32:25 | 2:32:28 | |
When it comes to aspiration
and opportunity England is becoming | 2:32:28 | 2:32:32 | |
increasingly divided,
according to a new report. | 2:32:32 | 2:32:34 | |
The Social Mobility Commission says
London and the south-east | 2:32:34 | 2:32:36 | |
are still the best place
for disadvantaged children | 2:32:36 | 2:32:40 | |
to progress, whilst those
in the Midlands and coastal areas | 2:32:40 | 2:32:42 | |
have the least opportunities. | 2:32:42 | 2:32:46 | |
This is neither inevitable nor
solvable -- unsolvable. Thinking | 2:32:52 | 2:32:56 | |
back 20 years ago we would probably
be lamenting the fact that London | 2:32:56 | 2:33:00 | |
state schools were among the worst
in the country, now they are the | 2:33:00 | 2:33:03 | |
best. If you are a disadvantaged
youngster in London your chances of | 2:33:03 | 2:33:08 | |
going to university are about twice
as high as some other parts of the | 2:33:08 | 2:33:12 | |
country, so this can be solved. | 2:33:12 | 2:33:14 | |
The only airport on the Indonesian
island of Bali has been closed | 2:33:14 | 2:33:17 | |
for a second day amid concerns
of a volcanic eruption. | 2:33:17 | 2:33:19 | |
Massive plumes of smoke and ash have
been spewing out of Mount Agung | 2:33:19 | 2:33:22 | |
over the past few days. | 2:33:22 | 2:33:23 | |
Officials have raised the alert
to the highest level | 2:33:23 | 2:33:25 | |
and are evacuating the homes of up
to one hundred thousand people | 2:33:25 | 2:33:27 | |
That brings you up to date. | 2:33:36 | 2:33:38 | |
Matt will have the weather
in about ten minutes' time. | 2:33:38 | 2:33:41 | |
Also coming up on Breakfast
this morning... | 2:33:41 | 2:33:42 | |
With the countdown to next year's
Royal wedding now well under way, | 2:33:42 | 2:33:45 | |
we'll find out what Megan Markle can
expect as she makes the move | 2:33:45 | 2:33:48 | |
from actress to princess. | 2:33:48 | 2:33:49 | |
# She knows it's too late
as she's walking on by #. | 2:33:49 | 2:33:59 | |
We'll hear from Noel Gallagher
about that song Don't Look Back | 2:34:01 | 2:34:04 | |
in Anger becoming an anthem
of solidarity after the Manchester | 2:34:04 | 2:34:06 | |
bombing. | 2:34:06 | 2:34:11 | |
He also talks about going bald.
Not himself. Just be concept of | 2:34:11 | 2:34:16 | |
baldness. | 2:34:16 | 2:34:17 | |
And after 9am... | 2:34:17 | 2:34:18 | |
It was Netflix's £100 million pound
gamble, now The Crown returns | 2:34:18 | 2:34:21 | |
after picking up almost every major
TV award going. | 2:34:21 | 2:34:23 | |
They must be feeling pretty good
about the Royal engagement! | 2:34:23 | 2:34:27 | |
We'll be joined by Princess
Margaret, otherwise known | 2:34:27 | 2:34:29 | |
as actress Vanessa Kirby. | 2:34:29 | 2:34:34 | |
What a great day to get Vanessa on.
They could not be more perfect! I | 2:34:34 | 2:34:39 | |
know she's not here to talk about
that, but... | 2:34:39 | 2:34:42 | |
Sally is going full fangirl.
She is my girl crush, I love her. I | 2:34:42 | 2:34:48 | |
can't wait for The Crown to start.
The clock is ticking down to sports | 2:34:48 | 2:34:59 | |
personality of the year. It is a bit
like giant 's Causeway! I think it | 2:34:59 | 2:35:04 | |
is Sports Personality branding. | 2:35:04 | 2:35:13 | |
Between now and the 17th
of December, 12 British sport | 2:35:13 | 2:35:15 | |
legends are concentrated on just one
thing - winning the public | 2:35:15 | 2:35:18 | |
vote for the BBC Sports
Personality of the Year 2017. | 2:35:18 | 2:35:20 | |
The list was out last
night, so let's look | 2:35:20 | 2:35:22 | |
at the runners and riders.
What a year it has been | 2:35:22 | 2:35:25 | |
for Mo Farah, who retired
from the track in style | 2:35:25 | 2:35:28 | |
after winning gold and silver
in the 10,000 and 5,000 metres | 2:35:28 | 2:35:30 | |
at the World Championships in London
this summer. | 2:35:30 | 2:35:32 | |
Northern Ireland's Jonathan Rea made
motorbike history in September | 2:35:32 | 2:35:34 | |
when he became the first rider ever
to win three successive | 2:35:34 | 2:35:37 | |
World Superbike titles. | 2:35:37 | 2:35:38 | |
It was Anthony Joshua's world
heavyweight title win | 2:35:38 | 2:35:40 | |
against Wladimir Klitschko that
really made the former | 2:35:40 | 2:35:42 | |
bricklayer's name this year. | 2:35:42 | 2:35:52 | |
Lewis Hamilton has won before. | 2:35:53 | 2:35:55 | |
Lewis Hamilton became the most
successful British F1 driver ever | 2:35:55 | 2:35:57 | |
last month with four world titles
to his name now. | 2:35:57 | 2:36:00 | |
Here is another speedy one. | 2:36:00 | 2:36:01 | |
From four wheels to two -
Chris Froome won his fourth Tour de | 2:36:01 | 2:36:04 | |
France title this year
as well as the Vuelta | 2:36:04 | 2:36:06 | |
a Espana in September.
Adam Peaty's won breaststroke gold | 2:36:06 | 2:36:08 | |
over both the 50 and 100 metre
distances in the world | 2:36:08 | 2:36:11 | |
championships, smashing his own
world record in the process. | 2:36:11 | 2:36:13 | |
No Andy Murray on this year's list
but British tennis is still | 2:36:13 | 2:36:16 | |
represented in Johanna Konta. | 2:36:16 | 2:36:17 | |
A friend of the programme! | 2:36:17 | 2:36:18 | |
The world number nine narrowly lost
to Venus Williams in the Wimbledon | 2:36:18 | 2:36:21 | |
semi finals in the summer. | 2:36:21 | 2:36:22 | |
He might not have waltzed his way
to the Strictly glitterball | 2:36:22 | 2:36:25 | |
but Jonnie Peacock is still
a contender for Sports Personality | 2:36:25 | 2:36:27 | |
of the Year after winning
another 100 metre gold | 2:36:27 | 2:36:29 | |
at the World Championships in July. | 2:36:29 | 2:36:31 | |
Very popular. | 2:36:31 | 2:36:31 | |
What an amazing year it has been
for our female cricketers! | 2:36:31 | 2:36:34 | |
Vice captain Anya Shrubsole took
the crucial final wicket in that | 2:36:34 | 2:36:36 | |
fightback against India,
winning her a place | 2:36:36 | 2:36:38 | |
on this shortlist.
Could Tottenham striker Harry Kane | 2:36:38 | 2:36:43 | |
round off a fantastic year
in which he became a dad | 2:36:43 | 2:36:46 | |
for the first time and won another
Premier League Golden Boot | 2:36:46 | 2:36:49 | |
with the Sports Personality title?
Taekwondo heavyweight Bianca Walkden | 2:36:49 | 2:36:51 | |
made up for disappointment in Rio
in the best possible way this year | 2:36:51 | 2:36:54 | |
by successfuly defending her
World Championship title. | 2:36:54 | 2:36:56 | |
What are you giggling at? I am just
thinking about how many there are! | 2:36:56 | 2:36:59 | |
We are nearly there! | 2:36:59 | 2:37:01 | |
Last but certainly not least,
Scotland's Elise Christie became | 2:37:01 | 2:37:04 | |
the first European woman to win
the 1000 metre, 1500 | 2:37:04 | 2:37:06 | |
metre and overall titles
at the world championships. | 2:37:06 | 2:37:12 | |
That was speedy, Walker! That was
brilliant having them virtually | 2:37:12 | 2:37:18 | |
here. The Silva is not quite big
enough for them all but that was | 2:37:18 | 2:37:21 | |
great, I love back. If the clever
people in our gallery could organise | 2:37:21 | 2:37:26 | |
it so we could have them all
together and they walked towards the | 2:37:26 | 2:37:30 | |
sofa and sit down... When we get the
new studio. | 2:37:30 | 2:37:34 | |
The winner will be revealed
at the BBC Sports Personality | 2:37:34 | 2:37:36 | |
of the Year 2017 award ceremony
in Liverpool on the 17th December. | 2:37:36 | 2:37:39 | |
It will be live on BBC One,
of course, but tickets | 2:37:39 | 2:37:42 | |
are still on sale or you can tune
in to Breakfast the morning | 2:37:42 | 2:37:45 | |
after when I will have
all the backstage gossip | 2:37:45 | 2:37:47 | |
plus an interview with the winner. | 2:37:47 | 2:37:48 | |
I know it is always a long night for
you, Sally, but it is one of my | 2:37:48 | 2:37:52 | |
favourite moments of the year when
you report. Every year I wonder how | 2:37:52 | 2:37:55 | |
I will top the year before. You
normally do. No promise. I am | 2:37:55 | 2:38:01 | |
disappointed that Andy Murray cannot
win again, my favourite moment was | 2:38:01 | 2:38:04 | |
him getting the trophy from Lennox
Lewis! Interestingly, no male | 2:38:04 | 2:38:09 | |
cricketers on that list. Female
cricketer but no male cricketer. And | 2:38:09 | 2:38:17 | |
also in cricket... | 2:38:17 | 2:38:19 | |
The ECB say Ben Stokes is visiting
family in New Zealand and not | 2:38:19 | 2:38:22 | |
heading to Australia
after he was apparently spotted | 2:38:22 | 2:38:24 | |
flying out of Heathrow Airport. | 2:38:24 | 2:38:25 | |
Stokes has been suspended
since he was was arrested | 2:38:25 | 2:38:27 | |
in September on suspicion of actual
bodily harm after an incident | 2:38:27 | 2:38:30 | |
outside a nightclub,
but the investigation | 2:38:30 | 2:38:32 | |
is still ongoing. | 2:38:32 | 2:38:34 | |
A veteran forward has been recalled
for the rugby league World Cup final | 2:38:34 | 2:38:38 | |
against Australia for England. He
takes a spot-on the bench with James | 2:38:38 | 2:38:42 | |
Roby starting to go. -- starting at
hooker. | 2:38:42 | 2:38:49 | |
The former England manager
Sam Allardyce is the leading | 2:38:49 | 2:38:51 | |
contender for the Everton job. | 2:38:51 | 2:38:52 | |
He had been an early candidate
to succeed Ronald Koeman, | 2:38:52 | 2:38:54 | |
but withdrew after Everton were slow
to make an offer. | 2:38:54 | 2:38:57 | |
They've lost five out of their last
seven games under caretaker | 2:38:57 | 2:38:59 | |
boss David Unsworth. | 2:38:59 | 2:39:00 | |
Karen Carney has withdrawn
from the England squad | 2:39:00 | 2:39:02 | |
for today's World Cup qualifier
against Kazakhstan in Colchester | 2:39:02 | 2:39:04 | |
after injuring an ankle. | 2:39:04 | 2:39:06 | |
The Chelsea winger, who has
been capped 134 times, | 2:39:06 | 2:39:08 | |
joins Demi Stokes on the sidelines. | 2:39:08 | 2:39:09 | |
And you can watch that game live
on BBC Two, kick off at 7:05pm. | 2:39:09 | 2:39:12 | |
Wales also play tonight,
away to Bosnia Herzegovina. | 2:39:12 | 2:39:15 | |
That is a packed sports bulletin.
I hope you were paying attention. 12 | 2:39:15 | 2:39:19 | |
on that short list, you did very
well to get through them. | 2:39:19 | 2:39:23 | |
It is good to get a reminder, you
have set me up. | 2:39:23 | 2:39:26 | |
You forget what has happened in the
last year. | 2:39:26 | 2:39:29 | |
Thank you, Sally, see you later. | 2:39:29 | 2:39:31 | |
Research by BBC Breakfast has
discovered than an increasing number | 2:39:31 | 2:39:33 | |
of parents of children with special
needs are taking their local | 2:39:33 | 2:39:36 | |
councils to tribunal,
in order to get the right support | 2:39:36 | 2:39:38 | |
for their child. | 2:39:38 | 2:39:39 | |
The number of cases in England
increased by nearly a third last | 2:39:39 | 2:39:42 | |
year with parents winning
80% of cases. | 2:39:42 | 2:39:44 | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has more. | 2:39:44 | 2:39:46 | |
Cruel, traumatic, heart-wrenching... | 2:39:46 | 2:39:51 | |
Deanne describes the process
she has just gone through. | 2:39:51 | 2:39:54 | |
Two years fighting two tribunals
to get the right support | 2:39:54 | 2:39:56 | |
for her disabled daughter. | 2:39:56 | 2:39:59 | |
Erin was left with serious
disabilities after | 2:39:59 | 2:40:01 | |
being born prematurely. | 2:40:01 | 2:40:04 | |
A statement, a legal
document, outlined exactly | 2:40:04 | 2:40:05 | |
what support Erin received. | 2:40:05 | 2:40:09 | |
New legislation in 2014 meant Erin's
statement had to be scrapped | 2:40:09 | 2:40:12 | |
and turned into a new Education,
Health and Care Plan. | 2:40:12 | 2:40:18 | |
That's when their fight began. | 2:40:18 | 2:40:20 | |
They have stripped out everything. | 2:40:20 | 2:40:22 | |
All of Erin's provision? | 2:40:22 | 2:40:28 | |
Speech therapy, one-on-one,
occupational therapy... | 2:40:28 | 2:40:30 | |
All gone? | 2:40:30 | 2:40:31 | |
All gone. | 2:40:31 | 2:40:32 | |
They appealed the plan
in October 2015. | 2:40:32 | 2:40:34 | |
In May 2016 they lost
at the tribunal, appealed again | 2:40:34 | 2:40:36 | |
and in July this year won
a new plan. | 2:40:36 | 2:40:39 | |
You basically got
everything back to her? | 2:40:39 | 2:40:41 | |
Yes, and more. | 2:40:41 | 2:40:44 | |
How can you summarise the process
you have been through? | 2:40:44 | 2:40:47 | |
I can't, I can't. | 2:40:47 | 2:40:50 | |
It doesn't make sense,
what we have been through, | 2:40:50 | 2:40:52 | |
as a family, to get what Erin needs
and is entitled to. | 2:40:52 | 2:40:55 | |
It does not make sense. | 2:40:55 | 2:41:00 | |
Erin's council, Redbridge,
told us they made 1,500 | 2:41:00 | 2:41:02 | |
decisions last year. | 2:41:02 | 2:41:05 | |
Only 20 ended in tribunal. | 2:41:05 | 2:41:08 | |
The reforms were designed to offer
that is support for children | 2:41:08 | 2:41:11 | |
but we found almost 3400 parents had
to fight for that support last year. | 2:41:11 | 2:41:18 | |
What it tells me is that there
is a system which is | 2:41:18 | 2:41:21 | |
under massive strain. | 2:41:21 | 2:41:23 | |
Councils simply do not
have the money to give | 2:41:23 | 2:41:25 | |
parents what they think | 2:41:25 | 2:41:26 | |
their children deserve. | 2:41:26 | 2:41:28 | |
This isn't what parents
think their children deserve. | 2:41:28 | 2:41:30 | |
This is what the law says
children are entitled to. | 2:41:30 | 2:41:33 | |
That is very different. | 2:41:33 | 2:41:36 | |
Councils are doing their best
to do that, in impossible | 2:41:36 | 2:41:38 | |
financial circumstances. | 2:41:38 | 2:41:40 | |
The law also says that
councils cannot overspend | 2:41:40 | 2:41:42 | |
their budget each year. | 2:41:42 | 2:41:44 | |
The Department for Education told us
they have given councils an extra | 2:41:44 | 2:41:47 | |
£223 million in extra funding
to help them introduce these | 2:41:47 | 2:41:50 | |
reforms successfully. | 2:41:50 | 2:41:52 | |
Many parents tell us
that they too have had to pay. | 2:41:52 | 2:41:56 | |
The cost of independent
financial reports, lawyers | 2:41:56 | 2:41:58 | |
and experts, emotional costs
which cannot be quantified. | 2:41:58 | 2:42:03 | |
Of course, there are many parents
who cannot afford to pay anything. | 2:42:03 | 2:42:07 | |
There are of course those situations
where local authorities will come | 2:42:07 | 2:42:09 | |
along to the hearing armed
with a range of professionals | 2:42:09 | 2:42:12 | |
supporting their case,
and that inevitably creates | 2:42:12 | 2:42:13 | |
an inequality of arms. | 2:42:13 | 2:42:17 | |
This can be a brutal experience. | 2:42:17 | 2:42:19 | |
Many parents, like Deanne,
will go through it more than once. | 2:42:19 | 2:42:24 | |
It has taken every fibre
in my body to fight. | 2:42:24 | 2:42:28 | |
And I will never, ever give up,
for what my daughter needs | 2:42:28 | 2:42:31 | |
and is legally entitled to. | 2:42:31 | 2:42:35 | |
Jayne joins us in the studio. | 2:42:35 | 2:42:40 | |
I am looking at some of the figures
and what really struck me watching | 2:42:40 | 2:42:44 | |
the report is the amount of money
that parents... It is not just the | 2:42:44 | 2:42:48 | |
strain, it is the financial strain.
Parent should not have too spent any | 2:42:48 | 2:42:53 | |
of this, the tribunal system is set
up so parents really should not have | 2:42:53 | 2:42:57 | |
too. But they are, because those
that can feel that if they do not | 2:42:57 | 2:43:02 | |
spend their kids are at risk, it is
really complicated. Somebody in that | 2:43:02 | 2:43:07 | |
report is from an organisation which
gives advice, SOS sen gives free | 2:43:07 | 2:43:13 | |
advice as well. Let's talk about the
numbers. There has been a 28% | 2:43:13 | 2:43:20 | |
increase in England is in tribunal
's last year. Let's look at how many | 2:43:20 | 2:43:26 | |
cases are being won by councils,
only one in five. Behind that other | 2:43:26 | 2:43:33 | |
very many appeals that never make it
to tribunal because in four in ten | 2:43:33 | 2:43:39 | |
cases councils concede, they say
forget it, we will go with what you | 2:43:39 | 2:43:42 | |
want. Go with what you need, rather.
Let's look at another finger, the | 2:43:42 | 2:43:48 | |
amount spent by councils on these
legal fees to take the challenge is | 2:43:48 | 2:43:53 | |
forward. We understand that is at
the very least £6 million, it will | 2:43:53 | 2:43:57 | |
be much more because not all
councils gave a statement. | 2:43:57 | 2:44:01 | |
So much of what we are doing this
week is looking up the problems, the | 2:44:01 | 2:44:05 | |
fights, but we want to celebrate
some of the good stuff as well. | 2:44:05 | 2:44:09 | |
We have been getting so many
messages on the positive side as | 2:44:09 | 2:44:12 | |
well. Exactly, so many kids with
special educational needs and | 2:44:12 | 2:44:18 | |
disabilities teach their parents and
other people around them a question | 2:44:18 | 2:44:24 | |
to David Evans Carrie Grant, an
amazing couple, about what their | 2:44:24 | 2:44:27 | |
kids have taught them, and they
recorded this. -- David and Carrie | 2:44:27 | 2:44:34 | |
Grant.
Thumbs up to our kids, you are | 2:44:34 | 2:44:37 | |
phenomenal and the absolutely love
you. Even though our family puts the | 2:44:37 | 2:44:42 | |
fun into dysfunctional, you guys
rock. Olivia, we love your | 2:44:42 | 2:44:47 | |
creativity and kindness. Thalia, we
love your brilliance, art, beauty, | 2:44:47 | 2:44:51 | |
your different way of seeing the
world. Imagen, your creativity, your | 2:44:51 | 2:44:56 | |
sly making, your humour, you make me
laugh every day. And the fact that | 2:44:56 | 2:45:01 | |
my cheeks no longer belong to me.
Mason, you are best boy in the | 2:45:01 | 2:45:11 | |
world, you are amazing. Until
brilliant outbuilding and so good at | 2:45:11 | 2:45:13 | |
problem solving. You will work stuff
out. We thank you for being our | 2:45:13 | 2:45:16 | |
kids, you are fantastic, you made us
better people, so thank you. Proud. | 2:45:16 | 2:45:20 | |
Love you very much. | 2:45:20 | 2:45:27 | |
So much of that is amazing, and we
will play the full interview | 2:45:27 | 2:45:31 | |
tomorrow, but that message that
their children have changed them for | 2:45:31 | 2:45:35 | |
the better, and that is the message
that came out from talking to them. | 2:45:35 | 2:45:39 | |
And we want to celebrate this, do
get in touch with us, if you have | 2:45:39 | 2:45:44 | |
something special to say about your
child, we have something planned for | 2:45:44 | 2:45:48 | |
the rest of the week. On one last
thing, tomorrow we have an exclusive | 2:45:48 | 2:45:54 | |
report on autism services in the UK,
a long-awaited report exclusively | 2:45:54 | 2:45:58 | |
revealed on this show tomorrow. And
people have been getting in touch in | 2:45:58 | 2:46:04 | |
their droves. You can e-mail us, or
you can tweet us. We really | 2:46:04 | 2:46:19 | |
appreciate those messages, we are
reading as many as we can. | 2:46:19 | 2:46:27 | |
One other thing we have been
enjoying today is that Matt is out | 2:46:27 | 2:46:36 | |
and about with the weather. Where
are you this morning? I am here at | 2:46:36 | 2:46:42 | |
the York Museum Gardens Festival. To
tell us a bit more about the | 2:46:42 | 2:46:46 | |
festival itself, the man behind it
all, James. First of all, why here? | 2:46:46 | 2:46:53 | |
York is one of the greatest cities
in the United Kingdom, perfect for | 2:46:53 | 2:46:58 | |
Christmas, and to play in the Museum
Gardens, this 12th century site, is | 2:46:58 | 2:47:01 | |
perfect. It has battlements,
cloisters, a 12th century abbey, the | 2:47:01 | 2:47:07 | |
Romans were here, the Vikings were
here, and that is our playpen. For | 2:47:07 | 2:47:11 | |
those who haven't been with us
throughout the programme, what can | 2:47:11 | 2:47:15 | |
people expect to see? There is half
£1 million of lighting spread around | 2:47:15 | 2:47:19 | |
the garden, and you can set tunnels,
projection on the Abbey, singing | 2:47:19 | 2:47:23 | |
trees, food and beverage, the fire
installation, and it is one of those | 2:47:23 | 2:47:29 | |
wonderful things to do with your
family as we come up to Christmas. | 2:47:29 | 2:47:34 | |
Very interactive? Totally. We have
singing tree stumps where you can | 2:47:34 | 2:47:39 | |
learn to play jingle Bells, there is
a bit everybody and something for | 2:47:39 | 2:47:42 | |
all the family. How long will it
take to plan one of these events? | 2:47:42 | 2:47:48 | |
Planning was nine months and
installation three weeks with 50 | 2:47:48 | 2:47:51 | |
people on site, so it is a big route
to put together. And what you want | 2:47:51 | 2:47:56 | |
is something crisp and cold for
locations and also for things like | 2:47:56 | 2:48:00 | |
this. I could provide you some cold
weather for that, so best of luck. | 2:48:00 | 2:48:04 | |
Cold weather is just what we want up
until the 1st of January! Best of | 2:48:04 | 2:48:09 | |
luck, and thank you for joining us
this morning. Cold weather is what | 2:48:09 | 2:48:12 | |
they want, and that is what | 2:48:12 | 2:48:15 | |
this morning. Cold weather is what
they want, and that is what we will | 2:48:15 | 2:48:15 | |
get. Quite chilly few days in store,
it is going to be cold, temperatures | 2:48:15 | 2:48:22 | |
dropping down from yesterday. A
little ice around this morning, take | 2:48:22 | 2:48:27 | |
it gingerly on roads and pavements.
Still the odd isolated shower in the | 2:48:27 | 2:48:31 | |
far south-east, but most of the
showers are around the coasts at the | 2:48:31 | 2:48:36 | |
moment. Inland, most will start the
day like here in York, blue skies | 2:48:36 | 2:48:41 | |
overhead. All the way down to
Central and southern England, you | 2:48:41 | 2:48:45 | |
may stay dry throughout. We will
continue to see showers throughout | 2:48:45 | 2:48:48 | |
the day, some of them sleet and
snow, mainly rain and Sam Hill sleet | 2:48:48 | 2:48:53 | |
as we go through north-east England,
more to come for you this afternoon. | 2:48:53 | 2:48:57 | |
A few showers will drift down into
the East Midlands as well. Much of | 2:48:57 | 2:49:02 | |
East Anglia and the south-east,
other than the odd isolated shower, | 2:49:02 | 2:49:05 | |
sunshine out and much of southern
England will stay sunny throughout, | 2:49:05 | 2:49:08 | |
but much colder than yesterday even
with the sunshine, temperatures only | 2:49:08 | 2:49:14 | |
around 8 degrees at the best. Across
England and Wales, showers fewer | 2:49:14 | 2:49:18 | |
than we have seen in the past few
days, but the odd heavy one is | 2:49:18 | 2:49:22 | |
expected. There could be a rumble of
thunder, too, but the greatest | 2:49:22 | 2:49:26 | |
chance of that towards the North Sea
coast, and Northern Ireland will see | 2:49:26 | 2:49:29 | |
sunshine and showers to take you
through the day. It is feeling cold | 2:49:29 | 2:49:34 | |
out there today, temperatures down
on what they should be for the time | 2:49:34 | 2:49:37 | |
of year, at best around three to
eight degrees. We will see some ice | 2:49:37 | 2:49:44 | |
where we see showers through the
day, most showers limited towards | 2:49:44 | 2:49:48 | |
the coasts to start Wednesday
morning. But for Wednesday morning, | 2:49:48 | 2:49:52 | |
after that chilly and frosty start,
more showers for the East which will | 2:49:52 | 2:49:57 | |
come in a little further inland, and
a greater chance of some sleet and | 2:49:57 | 2:50:02 | |
snow mixed in, particularly across
north-east England. Many places will | 2:50:02 | 2:50:07 | |
stay dry, and even in the sunshine,
it will stay cold. Temperatures down | 2:50:07 | 2:50:13 | |
a little on today. As the wind
strengthens further and the air gets | 2:50:13 | 2:50:17 | |
called into Thursday, temperatures
will drop even more, more showers | 2:50:17 | 2:50:21 | |
across the East, greater chance of
some sleet and snow, even possibly | 2:50:21 | 2:50:25 | |
parts of the south-east as well. But
further west, better chance of | 2:50:25 | 2:50:30 | |
staying dry, gale force winds across
is to putt of England, this is where | 2:50:30 | 2:50:34 | |
temperatures will feel more like
they are below England. -- below | 2:50:34 | 2:50:41 | |
zero. What I would like is a lovely
fire pit like this, and a few | 2:50:41 | 2:50:48 | |
toasted marshmallows. | 2:50:48 | 2:50:49 | |
Giant marshmallows as well! Thank
you so much, I love marshmallows. | 2:50:52 | 2:50:59 | |
He has slightly over toasted that. I
like them like that, they are | 2:50:59 | 2:51:04 | |
melting inside. Those marshmallows
are enormous! It has been wonderful | 2:51:04 | 2:51:14 | |
to see that all morning, Matt, thank
you. | 2:51:14 | 2:51:19 | |
Those gloves would have worked well
at the royal wedding, wouldn't they? | 2:51:19 | 2:51:23 | |
It's the story that's made
headlines across the globe - | 2:51:23 | 2:51:26 | |
the engagement of Prince Harry
to the American | 2:51:26 | 2:51:27 | |
actress Meghan Markle. | 2:51:27 | 2:51:28 | |
They've announced plans to marry
in spring 2018 and have been talking | 2:51:28 | 2:51:31 | |
to the BBC's Mishal Husain about how
they met, what happened | 2:51:31 | 2:51:34 | |
when Harry propsed. | 2:51:34 | 2:51:35 | |
and their plans for the future. | 2:51:35 | 2:51:36 | |
The friend who introduced you, was
she trying to set you up? Yes, it | 2:51:39 | 2:51:45 | |
was a blind date, and we talk about
it now, because I'm from the States, | 2:51:45 | 2:51:50 | |
you don't grow up with the same
understanding of the royal family, | 2:51:50 | 2:51:55 | |
so while I now understand very
clearly there is a global interest | 2:51:55 | 2:51:59 | |
there, I didn't know much about him,
so the only thing I had asked her | 2:51:59 | 2:52:03 | |
when she said she wanted to set us
up was, is he nice? It happened a | 2:52:03 | 2:52:11 | |
few weeks ago, earlier this month
here at our cottage, a standard | 2:52:11 | 2:52:16 | |
typical night for us. It was a cosy
night, we were just roasting | 2:52:16 | 2:52:20 | |
chicken. And it was just an amazing
surprise. It was so sweet and | 2:52:20 | 2:52:27 | |
natural. Very romantic. He got on
one knee. Was it an instant yes from | 2:52:27 | 2:52:36 | |
you? As a matter of fact, I couldn't
even wait until he finished | 2:52:36 | 2:52:42 | |
proposing. She didn't let me finish!
It was a fascinating interview. | 2:52:42 | 2:52:49 | |
Meghan Markle's upbringing
in Los Angeles is a world away | 2:52:49 | 2:52:52 | |
from her new life at Kensington
Palace. | 2:52:52 | 2:52:54 | |
So what is it like to marry
into the aristocracy? | 2:52:54 | 2:53:00 | |
If you are an American like Meghan. | 2:53:00 | 2:53:04 | |
It's an experience the American
nutritionist and author | 2:53:04 | 2:53:06 | |
Julie Montagu knows well. | 2:53:06 | 2:53:07 | |
She married the son of the Earl
of Sandwich and is now | 2:53:07 | 2:53:10 | |
Viscountess Hinchingbrooke. | 2:53:10 | 2:53:11 | |
She joins us from Buckingham Palace. | 2:53:11 | 2:53:13 | |
Is that right? Thank you for joining
us. Yes. You pronounce it perfectly. | 2:53:13 | 2:53:19 | |
It is such a mouthful, all of that,
but well done. So tell us, you have | 2:53:19 | 2:53:25 | |
a similar background, tell us about
your background and what you thought | 2:53:25 | 2:53:29 | |
we knew were first marrying into
this type of family. Do you know, I | 2:53:29 | 2:53:35 | |
think I have somewhat of a similar
background to Meghan in the fact | 2:53:35 | 2:53:38 | |
that I come from a normal family,
and I grew up in the midwest in a | 2:53:38 | 2:53:45 | |
bunch of cornfields, and so marrying
into British aristocracy is | 2:53:45 | 2:53:52 | |
something that you don't think
exists, so when I met my husband, I | 2:53:52 | 2:53:59 | |
didn't even know who he was, or even
what an old was, but when he did say | 2:53:59 | 2:54:04 | |
the Earl of Sandwich, I Djourou of a
saying to myself, is that the person | 2:54:04 | 2:54:08 | |
who invented the sandwich, and sure
enough it was. So it has been a real | 2:54:08 | 2:54:17 | |
roller-coaster of a ride of
basically balancing my American | 2:54:17 | 2:54:22 | |
mannerisms and learning how to
sometimes become a little more | 2:54:22 | 2:54:24 | |
formal when needed. So as well as
becoming familiar with British | 2:54:24 | 2:54:35 | |
peculiar resins, what other advice
would you have for Meghan Markle? | 2:54:35 | 2:54:39 | |
Just to stay true to who she is. One
of the reasons English aristocracy | 2:54:39 | 2:54:46 | |
are attracted to the American girl
is because we do come from this | 2:54:46 | 2:54:51 | |
background of being brought up to do
anything we want to do, to be | 2:54:51 | 2:54:56 | |
anything we want to do, and we do
have I think a wonderful work ethic, | 2:54:56 | 2:55:01 | |
and we are never really told that we
can't be something or do something, | 2:55:01 | 2:55:05 | |
so with Meghan, it is staying true
to who she is and bringing in that | 2:55:05 | 2:55:10 | |
real American high energy spirit
into the royal family is going to do | 2:55:10 | 2:55:13 | |
wonderful things. She has said she
is going to give up her job as an | 2:55:13 | 2:55:19 | |
actor. Tell us a little bit about
the stark cultural differences. What | 2:55:19 | 2:55:23 | |
did you notice? Well, I have a
really vivid memory of basically | 2:55:23 | 2:55:32 | |
setting the table and asking my
husband for the first time, I just | 2:55:32 | 2:55:39 | |
said, I have never set a table that
had more than one fork and knife, | 2:55:39 | 2:55:45 | |
and I remember being really
mortified when I was asked to set a | 2:55:45 | 2:55:48 | |
table of 18 people, and he kindly
came in and showed me how to place | 2:55:48 | 2:55:52 | |
all three forks and knives and the
two different spoons, and a lot of | 2:55:52 | 2:55:56 | |
glasses, as well. So that was a big
learning curve for me. Start from | 2:55:56 | 2:56:01 | |
the outside in? Is that still the
way? And I wonder as well, when you | 2:56:01 | 2:56:07 | |
came into this life and you said to
start with you didn't realise quite | 2:56:07 | 2:56:10 | |
who your husband was. Is it a life
which is, yes it is quite public and | 2:56:10 | 2:56:17 | |
you married into quite as give a
good family, but it can also be | 2:56:17 | 2:56:20 | |
quite difficult at times, and a
lonely experience like Asians as | 2:56:20 | 2:56:23 | |
well? -- a lonely experience on
occasions as well? Yes, my | 2:56:23 | 2:56:34 | |
father-in-law, the Earl of Sandwich,
his grandmother was American, and | 2:56:34 | 2:56:38 | |
they welcomed me with open arms. But
I think there are some formalities, | 2:56:38 | 2:56:45 | |
like I was saying, that you kind of
have to respect, and again, this is | 2:56:45 | 2:56:49 | |
history that dates back well before
America was even known, and before | 2:56:49 | 2:56:55 | |
our independence, and so sometimes I
sit in a chair at the family estate, | 2:56:55 | 2:57:00 | |
and I'm like, my gosh, this chair is
all done in my country. Things like | 2:57:00 | 2:57:05 | |
that fascinate me,, the chair is
older than my country, and it is | 2:57:05 | 2:57:15 | |
incredible history. And tell us from
your point of view, we had a little | 2:57:15 | 2:57:19 | |
thought about this earlier, how will
this news be received in America? | 2:57:19 | 2:57:22 | |
How will they cover it over the next
six months? What will it be like? | 2:57:22 | 2:57:28 | |
I'm sure America is just over the
moon with happiness. It's such | 2:57:28 | 2:57:34 | |
wonderful news. And remember, we had
obviously Grace Kelly, and that was | 2:57:34 | 2:57:40 | |
our royal princess, and then there
was princess Ty Anna, and now we | 2:57:40 | 2:57:45 | |
have this modern-day princess
Meghan, and she is going to do... I | 2:57:45 | 2:57:54 | |
saw her interview last night, and it
was just unbelievably perfect. Her | 2:57:54 | 2:58:00 | |
confidence, her grace and her poise,
she is just going to infect a whole | 2:58:00 | 2:58:06 | |
bunch of American goodness into this
family, and I think America, they | 2:58:06 | 2:58:12 | |
have always wanted to feel a little
part of the royal family, and now | 2:58:12 | 2:58:15 | |
they definitely will. Julie, I am
going to give you your full title, | 2:58:15 | 2:58:21 | |
Viscountess of Hinchingbrooke, thank
you very much indeed. Was he the man | 2:58:21 | 2:58:28 | |
that invented Sam Burgess? Yes, he
was! And we have Vanessa Kirby from | 2:58:28 | 2:58:35 | |
the Round coming up later. | 2:58:35 | 2:58:37 | |
It's been quite a year
for Noel Gallagher. | 2:58:37 | 2:58:42 | |
He is about to speak to Colin
Paterson. | 2:58:49 | 2:58:53 | |
We meet just after the midweek
charts, and you are heading up | 2:58:53 | 2:58:56 | |
to number one with the album
Who Built The Moon. | 2:58:56 | 2:58:59 | |
How much do things like that
still matter to you? | 2:58:59 | 2:59:01 | |
I guess it's nice. | 2:59:01 | 2:59:02 | |
It's better than being number two. | 2:59:02 | 2:59:03 | |
It strikes me as a joyful album. | 2:59:03 | 2:59:05 | |
What's going on? | 2:59:05 | 2:59:06 | |
I guess I was on a
voyage of discovery. | 2:59:06 | 2:59:10 | |
I hadn't written any
of the songs before I went in. | 2:59:10 | 2:59:12 | |
Be Careful What You Wish For
on the album is a song | 2:59:12 | 2:59:15 | |
about you giving advice
to your children. | 2:59:15 | 2:59:17 | |
You have three kids. | 2:59:17 | 2:59:19 | |
What is the hardest
part about parenting? | 2:59:19 | 2:59:20 | |
The hardest part, for me,
is to be a responsible parent. | 2:59:20 | 2:59:23 | |
I would be let them eat choc ice
and chips for breakfast. | 2:59:23 | 2:59:27 | |
My 17-year-old
daughter is brilliant. | 2:59:27 | 2:59:29 | |
She's very, very cool. | 2:59:29 | 2:59:31 | |
She's not in any way... | 2:59:31 | 2:59:33 | |
She's not a problem yet. | 2:59:33 | 2:59:36 | |
She did get tattoos without saying
anything, and I was a bit | 2:59:36 | 2:59:38 | |
disappointed in that. | 2:59:38 | 2:59:39 | |
What were they of? | 2:59:39 | 2:59:42 | |
It was all right, one
of them was my face. | 2:59:42 | 2:59:46 | |
They were the brothers'
initials on her hands, | 2:59:46 | 2:59:50 | |
which is kind of a bit of a snide
way of getting in through the back | 2:59:50 | 2:59:54 | |
door, "I've got these tattoos." | 2:59:54 | 2:59:55 | |
I was like, "What?" | 2:59:55 | 2:59:56 | |
Then she showed me and I thought,
aw, that's cute, isn't it? | 2:59:56 | 2:59:59 | |
But no more! | 2:59:59 | 3:00:02 | |
The timing of the album has been
interesting, coming one month | 3:00:02 | 3:00:05 | |
after your brother's. | 3:00:05 | 3:00:07 | |
What was your reaction
when his album went to number one? | 3:00:07 | 3:00:10 | |
Did you send him a message
of congratulations? | 3:00:10 | 3:00:12 | |
I did indeed. | 3:00:12 | 3:00:13 | |
Really? | 3:00:13 | 3:00:14 | |
Yes, I did. | 3:00:14 | 3:00:15 | |
No, I didn't. | 3:00:15 | 3:00:16 | |
I didn't. | 3:00:16 | 3:00:17 | |
Why would I? | 3:00:17 | 3:00:19 | |
One of the big news events
of the year was the Manchester bomb. | 3:00:19 | 3:00:23 | |
It was dreadful. | 3:00:23 | 3:00:24 | |
It made me feel so angry and
continues to make me feel so angry. | 3:00:24 | 3:00:28 | |
It was brutal. | 3:00:28 | 3:00:32 | |
How did it feel for Don't Look
Back In Anger to become | 3:00:34 | 3:00:37 | |
such a song of solidarity? | 3:00:37 | 3:00:40 | |
At that time, you know,
politicians' words were meaningless, | 3:00:40 | 3:00:43 | |
religious leaders' words
were meaningless, | 3:00:43 | 3:00:45 | |
the experts on the news,
what they said was meaningless. | 3:00:45 | 3:00:49 | |
And that one girl, she sang
that song and the people | 3:00:49 | 3:00:51 | |
rallied around that song. | 3:00:51 | 3:00:54 | |
And as a songwriter, not even
the fact that it's my song - | 3:00:54 | 3:00:58 | |
if it was a song, it would have
reaffirmed my belief | 3:00:58 | 3:01:00 | |
in the power of music
and what it means to people. | 3:01:00 | 3:01:03 | |
You turned 50 this year. | 3:01:03 | 3:01:04 | |
How are you finding it? | 3:01:04 | 3:01:06 | |
If my 50s are half as good as my
40s, professionally and privately, | 3:01:06 | 3:01:09 | |
then I'm going to be
doing all right. | 3:01:09 | 3:01:12 | |
Is your body telling you you are 50? | 3:01:12 | 3:01:14 | |
No, no, I am all right. | 3:01:14 | 3:01:16 | |
As long as this is here -
no offence - but as long | 3:01:16 | 3:01:19 | |
as this is thriving,
which it is... | 3:01:19 | 3:01:21 | |
Get a close-up of that. | 3:01:21 | 3:01:23 | |
That is thorough. | 3:01:23 | 3:01:24 | |
How would you feel if you went bald? | 3:01:24 | 3:01:27 | |
I don't know what I'd do. | 3:01:27 | 3:01:28 | |
I would definitely retire
from music, that's for sure. | 3:01:28 | 3:01:30 | |
Nobody wants to see
a bald Mick Jagger. | 3:01:30 | 3:01:40 | |
I love the eyebrow!
I don't mind a bit of baldness! Why | 3:01:40 | 3:01:45 | |
do you have to give up being a rock
star because you bald? But he does | 3:01:45 | 3:01:50 | |
have good hair. | 3:01:50 | 3:01:50 | |
Noel Gallagher's new album
is called Who Built The Moon? | 3:01:50 | 3:01:55 | |
As you do on Brexit, let's change
the subject entirely, to persons! | 3:01:55 | 3:02:02 | |
... As you do on Breakfast. | 3:02:02 | 3:02:04 | |
With its distinctive
black and white head, | 3:02:04 | 3:02:06 | |
orange legs and brightly-coloured
bill, the puffin shouldn't be | 3:02:06 | 3:02:08 | |
a hard bird to spot -
but across the world | 3:02:08 | 3:02:10 | |
their numbers are plummeting. | 3:02:10 | 3:02:11 | |
To try to understand why colonies
in the UK are in decline, | 3:02:11 | 3:02:14 | |
the RSPB asked the public to send
in photos of the birds feeding - | 3:02:14 | 3:02:18 | |
Dr Tim Melling from the charity can
tell us what they're going to do | 3:02:18 | 3:02:21 | |
with the 1400 photos you sent in. | 3:02:21 | 3:02:24 | |
What a response! Good morning. 1400
photos from 600 photographers, | 3:02:24 | 3:02:31 | |
amazing. They got them from colonies
all over Britain and it has enabled | 3:02:31 | 3:02:35 | |
us to hint at what the declines
might be. It is patchy. Some places | 3:02:35 | 3:02:42 | |
puffins are doing OK, in the
Shetland Isles they are doing | 3:02:42 | 3:02:45 | |
extraordinarily badly. There, but
they have found is that by measuring | 3:02:45 | 3:02:51 | |
the size of the fish that are in the
puffin's beak, they are much smaller | 3:02:51 | 3:02:55 | |
than. Puffins raised just one check
a year in a burrow, it takes both | 3:02:55 | 3:03:02 | |
the mother and father a full on time
to collect these birds and bring | 3:03:02 | 3:03:08 | |
them back to get the puffin to grow,
it takes about 50 days until it | 3:03:08 | 3:03:13 | |
leaves the nest, then the father
takes it out to a good fishing area. | 3:03:13 | 3:03:17 | |
What we are finding is the sand eels
they are feeding on are so small | 3:03:17 | 3:03:24 | |
that they do not appear enough to
get the chick to fledge. It is a | 3:03:24 | 3:03:31 | |
brilliant story, the public has
really helped because you could not | 3:03:31 | 3:03:34 | |
have got this level of information
any other way? Absolutely not. If we | 3:03:34 | 3:03:39 | |
were doing a single project we would
have to choose one puffin colony and | 3:03:39 | 3:03:43 | |
study that colony, this has enabled
us to arrange the whole of Britain | 3:03:43 | 3:03:48 | |
from the Scilly Isles to the
Shetland Isles to the islands of | 3:03:48 | 3:03:52 | |
Wales and Scotland, brilliant.
Now you know there is a problem in | 3:03:52 | 3:03:55 | |
the size of the sand eels, as far as
you can see, what can we do about | 3:03:55 | 3:04:02 | |
that? We have to find that out next,
we have to find out why the sand | 3:04:02 | 3:04:06 | |
eels are so small in certain places.
It will probably be linked to what | 3:04:06 | 3:04:10 | |
the sand eels are feeding on, tiny
planktonic animals that might be out | 3:04:10 | 3:04:14 | |
of sync with the fish themselves. In
some places they're not. Of the | 3:04:14 | 3:04:20 | |
Aberdeenshire coast there are big
fish and we have found... We used to | 3:04:20 | 3:04:24 | |
think that by putting trackers on
puffins that they travelled about 30 | 3:04:24 | 3:04:28 | |
kilometres to feed and take the
feedback, now we find they are | 3:04:28 | 3:04:32 | |
travelling up to 400 kilometres to
get to the good feeding areas. It is | 3:04:32 | 3:04:36 | |
like as travelling 100 miles to do
your shopping. It does not bear | 3:04:36 | 3:04:40 | |
thinking about. -- it is like as | 3:04:40 | 3:04:44 | |
travelling.
Thank you very much. We showed about | 3:04:44 | 3:04:48 | |
1000 of those voters, they are
fantastic. | 3:04:48 | 3:04:50 | |
In a moment we'll be
speaking to Vanessa Kirby | 3:04:50 | 3:04:52 | |
about reprising her role
as Princess Margaret in the second | 3:04:52 | 3:04:54 | |
series of The Crown. | 3:04:54 | 3:04:55 | |
But first a final brief
look at the headlines | 3:04:55 | 3:06:31 | |
From me and the Breakfast team,
have a lovely morning. | 3:06:31 | 3:06:38 | |
Welcome back. We are talking about
the royal wedding now, but something | 3:06:43 | 3:06:47 | |
else as well. | 3:06:47 | 3:06:48 | |
It was the most expensive
television show ever made, | 3:06:48 | 3:06:50 | |
costing an estimated £100 million,
and after scooping up this year's | 3:06:50 | 3:06:53 | |
Golden Globe for best TV series,
The Crown is returning | 3:06:53 | 3:06:55 | |
to our screens next month for a much
anticipated second season. | 3:06:55 | 3:06:58 | |
The forthcoming series focuses
on the period between 1957 and 1964 | 3:06:58 | 3:07:00 | |
and one of the most scrutinzed
activities of the royal family both | 3:07:00 | 3:07:03 | |
then and now - marriage. | 3:07:03 | 3:07:08 | |
In a minute we'll speak
to Vanessa Kirby, who plays | 3:07:08 | 3:07:15 | |
Princess Margaret. | 3:07:15 | 3:07:19 | |
Lovely to see you today of all days.
Let's have a sneak preview of season | 3:07:19 | 3:07:22 | |
two. | 3:07:22 | 3:07:24 | |
You need to be more careful
about where you're seen. | 3:07:24 | 3:07:26 | |
And with whom. | 3:07:26 | 3:07:27 | |
You're drinking far
more than you used to. | 3:07:27 | 3:07:29 | |
Why do you think that is? | 3:07:29 | 3:07:30 | |
Because I'm unhappier
than I used to be. | 3:07:30 | 3:07:32 | |
And why is that? | 3:07:32 | 3:07:33 | |
Because I'm still unmarried. | 3:07:33 | 3:07:34 | |
And why is that? | 3:07:34 | 3:07:35 | |
Oh, because you denied
to be my perfect match. | 3:07:35 | 3:07:39 | |
How would you feel about
taking my photograph? | 3:07:39 | 3:07:41 | |
Well, I'd consider it. | 3:07:41 | 3:07:42 | |
On one condition. | 3:07:42 | 3:07:43 | |
You do everything I say. | 3:07:43 | 3:07:48 | |
I liked him. | 3:07:48 | 3:07:51 | |
There's a contempt in him. | 3:07:51 | 3:07:52 | |
What for? | 3:07:52 | 3:07:53 | |
For us. | 3:07:53 | 3:08:01 | |
So stuffy and traditional. | 3:08:01 | 3:08:02 | |
We don't want any more
convention around here. | 3:08:02 | 3:08:04 | |
Are you sure that
Tony's the right man? | 3:08:04 | 3:08:06 | |
He's a complicated man
with a complicated past. | 3:08:06 | 3:08:08 | |
Is there something you know? | 3:08:08 | 3:08:10 | |
Because if there is, tell me now. | 3:08:10 | 3:08:12 | |
Tell me now. | 3:08:12 | 3:08:19 | |
I'm in! | 3:08:19 | 3:08:20 | |
Vanessa Kirby, who plays
Princess Margaret, joins us now. | 3:08:20 | 3:08:24 | |
And plays are quite brilliantly.
Gosh. We saw a little snippet which | 3:08:24 | 3:08:30 | |
is really exciting. Tell us a little
about the period in her life we are | 3:08:30 | 3:08:35 | |
talking about. This season picks up
where we left off in 1955 and goes | 3:08:35 | 3:08:41 | |
up to 64. I always wanted to do the
late 60s, the coolest fashion, but | 3:08:41 | 3:08:45 | |
it goes up to 64 just after she
married Tony Armstrong Jones. We see | 3:08:45 | 3:08:50 | |
her as we left of in season one
where she is in a very bad place, | 3:08:50 | 3:08:58 | |
such a trauma to go through with the
Peter Townsend sort of... Year. In | 3:08:58 | 3:09:04 | |
terms of preparing for this role,
when you did see Rizwan you just | 3:09:04 | 3:09:08 | |
read about Princess Margaret during
that time frame, he did not want to | 3:09:08 | 3:09:12 | |
be influenced by what you knew about
her later. Did you do the same for | 3:09:12 | 3:09:16 | |
this? You just read about this
period? I just stopped, when I first | 3:09:16 | 3:09:21 | |
got the part the main thing people
said about her, she was a tragic | 3:09:21 | 3:09:26 | |
figure. And I didn't know... I
didn't really know why. And I didn't | 3:09:26 | 3:09:31 | |
want to pre-empt anything that
happened later in her life or have | 3:09:31 | 3:09:35 | |
any kind of preconceptions and just
play the young girl starting at 17, | 3:09:35 | 3:09:39 | |
grows up and goes through some
really difficult things. | 3:09:39 | 3:09:44 | |
What do you think, having played
her, was what attracted her to | 3:09:44 | 3:09:48 | |
answer the Armstrong Jones? They had
a pretty volatile relationship. I | 3:09:48 | 3:09:52 | |
think we know they did, definitely,
certainly later in the marriage. I | 3:09:52 | 3:09:58 | |
think he represented everything that
her family is not, and with | 3:09:58 | 3:10:01 | |
Margaret, what I loved about playing
has so much is it is an amazing | 3:10:01 | 3:10:08 | |
conflict of somebody who is so
essentially worry all, she was so | 3:10:08 | 3:10:12 | |
grand, and I love that, she is
everything we wish we could be, not | 3:10:12 | 3:10:16 | |
caring what people think, stubbing
cigarettes on a starter at the | 3:10:16 | 3:10:21 | |
dinner party because she did not
like the food. An amazing quality of | 3:10:21 | 3:10:25 | |
just not caring. But also she really
wanted to push the boundaries and | 3:10:25 | 3:10:32 | |
escape out of the palace walls, and
I think Tony Gibson about. | 3:10:32 | 3:10:36 | |
Here we are in 2017, you play a
character who, famously, was not | 3:10:36 | 3:10:41 | |
allowed to marry the man she wanted
to, here is Prince Harry embarking | 3:10:41 | 3:10:46 | |
on an engagement and a marriage with
an American actress. It is amazing | 3:10:46 | 3:10:50 | |
how quickly things have turned
around with regards to the Royal | 3:10:50 | 3:10:55 | |
family. Totally. I felt quite
honoured to bring the Peter Townsend | 3:10:55 | 3:11:01 | |
story to life, the love story, I did
not know anything about it and it is | 3:11:01 | 3:11:07 | |
so tragic. For it to be remembered
and to know how difficult it was | 3:11:07 | 3:11:11 | |
them just because somebody happened
to be divorced, who had been married | 3:11:11 | 3:11:15 | |
before, so how brilliant for them.
There is a lot of excitement and | 3:11:15 | 3:11:21 | |
hysteria. I imagine the makers of
The Crown must be delighted. It has | 3:11:21 | 3:11:27 | |
done incredibly well. When you
started did you realise it would be | 3:11:27 | 3:11:31 | |
as massive, as popular, as a lush?
Honestly, we had no idea. I knew my | 3:11:31 | 3:11:37 | |
mum would watch it. Perfect mum
television! We had no idea. It was | 3:11:37 | 3:11:49 | |
ambitious and loose with Peter
Morgan, who had an The Green and The | 3:11:49 | 3:11:55 | |
Audience, that was really exciting.
He had done it before. -- who had | 3:11:55 | 3:12:01 | |
done the Queen. I did not know what
to expect. It is a lovely window | 3:12:01 | 3:12:05 | |
into your world, when you are
filming The Crown you also filming | 3:12:05 | 3:12:10 | |
Mission impossible six with Tom
Cruse. Literally at the same time. I | 3:12:10 | 3:12:15 | |
would be a night shoots in Paris
doing mission impossible, trying to | 3:12:15 | 3:12:19 | |
learn how to use a knife
realistically, then come back in the | 3:12:19 | 3:12:23 | |
day and play Margaret, I was really
exhausted, two worlds colliding. | 3:12:23 | 3:12:29 | |
At one point you needed your hair
dyed blonde overnight in order to be | 3:12:29 | 3:12:34 | |
ready for the next day? I had to
drive down, we were on set in | 3:12:34 | 3:12:39 | |
south-west England and I had to
drive back to North London to get my | 3:12:39 | 3:12:42 | |
hair dyed to drive back at about 3am
and go on to set at about five or | 3:12:42 | 3:12:47 | |
six. It was quite mad. I think there
is a bit of Margaret in the Mission | 3:12:47 | 3:12:54 | |
Impossible character. I enjoyed
reading the rumours about you and | 3:12:54 | 3:12:59 | |
Tom Cruise getting married, I
understand your boyfriend laughed | 3:12:59 | 3:13:03 | |
his head fat? That is a good
reaction. I had only met Tom wants | 3:13:03 | 3:13:07 | |
by this point, I was so embarrassed
because they did not want to bring | 3:13:07 | 3:13:11 | |
it up with him, I was like, I think
they are saying we are getting | 3:13:11 | 3:13:15 | |
married, but I am not a fast mover.
My boyfriend founded the funniest, | 3:13:15 | 3:13:20 | |
actually. How strange. I literally
met him in a roomful of people | 3:13:20 | 3:13:25 | |
wants. About was the rumours. Lovely
to see you here today, thank you for | 3:13:25 | 3:13:30 | |
here today. | 3:13:30 | 3:13:31 | |
The Crown is available
on Netflix from December 8th. | 3:13:31 | 3:13:34 | |
You will be glad to hear. Can you
watch the whole thing again? The | 3:13:34 | 3:13:39 | |
full binge? Binge watching is the
thing. It certainly is. | 3:13:39 | 3:13:44 | |
That's all from Breakfast for today. | 3:13:44 | 3:13:48 | |
I could not speak there for some
reason! | 3:13:48 | 3:13:50 | |
We'll be back tomorrow
morning from 6am. | 3:13:50 | 3:13:52 | |
Goodbye. | 3:13:52 | 3:13:54 |
