30/11/2017 Breakfast

Hello.

This is Breakfast,

with Naga Munchetty

and Charlie Stayt.

Donald Trump lashes out

at Theresa May in a row

over anti-Muslim videos.

The Prime Minister

criticised the US President

for sharing a series of posts

by the far-right group

Britain First.

But last night, Mr Trump tweeted

that she should instead be focussd

on tackling terrorism.

Good morning.

It's Thursday 30 November.

Also this morning:

A warning that children with special

educational needs aren't getting

the support they need

once they hit 18.

We'll hear from parents desperately

concerned about what the future

holds for their families.

I once said many years to go --

years ago to the social worker when

I was small, if something happens to

me, put in the grave with me and I

still feel that way.

A breakthrough in

migraine prevention.

Doctors say a new treatment

could significantly cut the number

and severity of attacks.

Kelloggs will be cutting the sugar

in some of its sweeter cereals,

but not all of them.

So later on, I'll be talking

to company's boss about why they've

taken this decision now.

How about this?

hat-trick capped with a wonder goal

for Everton in front of Sam Allott

Ayce who will be appointed manager

And Matt has the weather.

A bit of snow in Scotland the

Andrews Day. More details coming up.

--4 St Andrews Day.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

President Trump has told Theresa May

that she should pay more attention

to tackling terrorism in the UK,

rather than criticising him.

The message was delivered

in a tweet last night

after Downing Street criticised

the US President for sharing

anti-Muslim videos posted

by a British far-right group

on social media.

The row has placed more pressure

on the Prime Minister to cancel

Mr Trump's state visit

to the UK next year.

Our North America Correspondent

Laura Bicker has more.

They may have held hands once

but this so-called special

relationship is now being tested

by a series of presidential tweets.

First, from the account of a far

right anti-Muslim group called

Britain First, Donald Trump

retweeted three inflammatory

videos to his 43 million followers.

The first claimed incorrectly

to show a Muslim migrant attacking

a man on crutches.

When challenged, the White House

said the videos might not be

real but the threat was.

Both Theresa May and a lot of other

world leaders across this country,

I mean, across the world,

know that these are real threats

that we have to talk about.

I think Europe has seen that a lot

firsthand and something

the President wants to continue

to talk about and continue to make

sure that we're dealing with.

Theresa May is on a tour

of the Middle East but her official

spokesman said the President had

been wrong to share the posts.

It was that condemnation

which prompted a Twitter outburst

from Donald Trump's account.

He told Theresa May not

to focus on him but to focus

on the destructive

radical Islamic terrorism taking

place within big United Kingdom.

"We are doing just fine," he said.

The President has caused diplomatic

headaches for the UK several times

already this year.

From backing Nigel Farage

as an ambassador to Washington,

to attacking the London Mayor Sadiq

Khan,

all from his favourite

social media platform.

It may be a show of strength

for his supporters but it may also

weaken his position abroad.

Laura Bicker, BBC News, Washington.

We will be talking shortly to Alex

Forsyth who is travelling with

Theresa May.

Plans to get an extra one million

disabled people into work will be

published by the government today.

Probably a new banana. Hannah is

testing face recognition gadgets

which could help at work. She lost

her sight five years ago and is now

registered blind. During that time,

she found it hard to get a job.

I

left uni with a first-class degree

in law and its pink turned down the

basic admen rolls and I had

significant experience. Some of

them, I might not have got the job

anyway but sum it is clear from the

questions they are asking, it was

because of a disability.

The

employment gap between disabled and

nondisabled people has not

significantly changed for years

despite a pledge back in 2015 to

halve it. Today the government has

published a plan to see 1 million

more disabled people in work over

the next ten years.

We are making

progress. We have 600,000 more

people in work than we did four

years ago but what we want to do is

continue to work with employers to

continue to exploit the

opportunities of new technology and

to keep testing and learning to find

out what works, what are the things

that can actually make a difference?

So that more disabled people can

fulfil their potential and get a

good job.

Today's announcement also

includes measures to allow access to

personalised support for those with

mental health issues and an increase

in a variety of healthcare

professionals who are able to issue

fitness to work notices but with

employment rates for those with

learning to do -- disabilities at

around 6%, the process could be said

to be too slow.

We'll be talking to the Work

and Pensions Secretary David Gauke

about this just after 0800.

Investigations are underway

following the death

of a Bosnian Croat war criminal,

who drank poison in court

after he was convicted

of crimes against humanity.

Just moments after

United Nations judges

upheld his 20-year sentence at

the International Criminal Tribunal

in the Hague, Slobodan

Praljak said he rejected

the verdict and drank

what he said was poison.

The 72-year old died in hospital

and the UN announced the courtroom

was now "a crime scene".

Two clinical trials have shown

a new approach to preventing

migraine can reduce the number

of attacks, and their severity.

Both trials used antibodies that

shield the nervous system

from the headaches.

Here's more from our health

and science correspondent James

Gallagher.

Imogen Smiths about it -- images

started Haddin migrans two years

ago. She was having a tax every week

and forced to take a year out of

college.

It was really scary

certainly, when they happened, I

didn't know what they were because I

thought a migraine was just a

headache so we had to keep looking

into more serious things.

One in

seven people in the UK live with the

agony of migraine. Scientists have

now developed new treatments which

target a chemical in the nervous

system which develop -- which stop a

migraine developing. Two trials

published. One, 955 patients a

monthly injection of antibodies.

Before the trial, they were having

migraines eight days a month on

average. Around 50% of patients were

able to cut their migraines and

harp. For drug companies are

developing similar treatments and

scientists say a new therapy could

give patients their life back.

These

treatments are the first migraine

specific preventive is ever. For the

most substantial neurological cause

of disability on the planet. It has

a huge advance for all of us.

-- it

is. Imogen's migraines are under

control and she is now studying to

be a nurse but currently available

drugs don't work for everyone and

can cause side-effects. New options

for people living with migraine are

desperately needed.

Litter levels recorded on the UK's

beaches this year are 10 per cent

higher than they were a year ago,

and 20 per cent of everything found

came from food and drink rubbish.

The Marine Conservation

Society is now calling

on the Government to put a levy

on single-use items that are handed

over over for free in their millions

when we're eating and drinking out.

This would mean taxing

items such as straws,

cups, lids, stirrers and cutlery.

Those are the main stories this

morning. John Isner adjusting its

leaves. We got a golfer you? I love

a good goal. It gets the thumbs up

from the potential new Everton

manager, Sam Allardyce. His third to

the hat-trick. That is the peak. I

will show you.

The Sam Allardyce era

will begin at Everton later

and it

got off to the perfect start

with what Wayne Rooney scored

the best goal of his career,

rounded off a hattrick in a four nil

win over West Ham, in front

of the man who will be named Everton

manager today.

-- 4-0.

96 minutes on the clock,

being held to a 1-all draw

with Southampton, Raheem Sterling

scored this winning goal.

As top of the table Manchester City

made it a club-record

12th-successive Premier League win.

Fair to say he and his

manager enjoyed it.

After arriving in New Zealand,

Ben Stokes has signed to play

domestic cricket for Canterbury,

but is unlikely to play

in the Ashes.

A decision on whether to charge him

following an incident outside

a Bristol nightclub isn't expected

for several weeks with his case

now

in the hands of the Crown

Prosecution Service.

Chris Froome says he's targetting

victory in next year's Giro d'Italia

to complete a hattrick

of cycling's biggest events.

He'd become only the third

rider to win the Giro,

the Vuelta d'Espana

and the Tour de France.

He keeps a sort of setting is girls

and I think that's the thing, he

wants to break new boundaries and

where he to win, it would be

historic achievement if he did when

the Giro d'Italia. That is what is

setting its sights on. Just

remarkable. Superhuman.

Back to our main story this morning,

Donald Trump has hit back

at Theresa May after she criticised

him for sharing far-right

videos on Twitter.

The US President told

the Prime Minister that she should

be focusing on what he called

destructive Radical Islamic

terrorism in the UK

rather than on him.

Alex Forsyth is with us now. Good to

see you, you are win the Prime

Minister in Jordan. Any sense of how

the Prime Minister is reacting to

Donald Trump's reaction?

There is

some irony that this tour of the

Middle East that Theresa May is

undertaking is to build new global

relationships and we have an

argument brewing with the President

of the United States. Yesterday,

Downing Street issued a bit to the

President saying he was wrong to

tweak what he did but we haven't

heard from the Prime Minister. She

is giving a speech here in Jordan to

members of the Cabinet and business

community and during that they will

be an opportunity to journalists to

ask questions and you can bet what

is going to come up and at this

stage, it's inevitable she will have

to address the situation directly

particularly given Donald Trump's

latest tweet and senior members of

her party have had a lot to this --

to say about this.

He was backed by the leader of the

Scottish Conservatives, the Labour

Party later Jeremy Corbyn stating

the government must condemn this.

All eyes on Theresa May to seek how

will react.

We will be catching up

with you later in the programme.

Alex Forsyth travelling with the

Prime Minister in Jordan.

Michael Johns, a former speechwriter

for President George HW Bush,

joins us now.

Thank you the time this morning,

Michael. If you could give your

analysis of where this sort of

argument sits right now.

I think you

start with an understanding that has

appreciated in Washington and London

that the relationship between our

countries is so vital and shared

interests are so abundant that you

don't want to see even an inch of

space between us. What is

unfortunate is that what has entered

the public domain could have been

handled more privately but I

understand the terms -- the concerns

on both parts. Spend a bit of time

in United Kingdom, I have, and I

have engaged with a lot of people

and the perception on the President

was a little fast and loose on some

facts, maybe. The group is not

recognised in the United States are

not well respected in the UK. On the

US perspective, what he's trying to

across is really understanding that

we are engaged in this global War on

terror. It requires a real degree of

commitment and Alliance and no room

for being light on it. Immigration

has been the means through which

Islamic terrorists have entered

these countries predominantly, not

exclusively. If we are not looking

at immigration, there is a lot of

concern that it is not taken

seriously enough. We are not

seriously engaged in trying to walk

when the war on terrorism.

One of

the problems you are of course and

you will realise, the problems with

some of the material that Donald

Trump posted. Not representing what

he thought it represented. A lot of

people like saying here that he

should have known this material was

potentially not what he thought it

was even if he was choosing to re-

tweet that kind of material. You

should have known that it didn't

have harassed city, on top of which

we now have the language in which he

is telling the Prime Minister,

Theresa May, our Prime Minister,

don't focus on me, focus on Islamic

terrorism. We are doing just fine.

It almost feels like a put down to

the British prime.

Right, and I think it was a pretty

direct response to that condemnation

by Number Ten. I am sure it will be

quickly and easily resolved. I am

not at all concerned. I think the

broader message is the important

one. What the President, maybe

inartfully, was trying to express at

that time and what is hopefully a

growing recognition after

Manchester, after Westminster,

after, you know, I think over 100

civilian deaths from Islamic

terrorism in the UK, what a

significant threat this is.

But

Michael, can I just put to you, in

the wider sense, a lot of people...

Of course there is no argument about

whether this is an important battle,

over terrorism more generally. That

is an established fact. But one of

the issues for a lot of people here

is that right at the core of trying

to win some kind of battle over

Islamic terrorism, for example, is

that you get your facts right. That

you don't disseminate things

incorrectly, because that just adds

to the confusion, and possibly gives

the wrong people the right kind of

impetus. I mean, you talk about

trying to get the big message right.

Well, that starts with a small

message. So if President Trump

retweet things that are not true,

that are linked to issues around

religious hatred, that is really bad

in terms of the bigger debate you

are talking about.

Right, you know,

I started my career in a sort of

academic think-tank, in journalism,

and one of the things that I preach

when I make it a minor error on

matters of fact, you are engaged in

this on a daily basis, especially at

an international level and at the

White House, where nothing escapes

scrutiny, you are going to make

mistakes. We elected as president

Dick as he was not a product of that

world. He is a product of corporate

America -- we elected this President

because he was not a product of that

world. A year he spent basically

rebelling against the conventions of

modern politics. We believe the

problems are so severe that these

periodic misstatements, or minor

issues that might occur as it

relates to someone not following

these traditional protocols, is a

very small sacrifice to make in

terms of what he is going to

contribute to the broader defence

and advancement of the United

States, and I believe the West in

general.

Thank you very much for

your time this morning. Very

interesting hearing the respect of.

-- hearing your perspective.

Here is Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

You

You said it is big coat time. Mine

has been out for ages.

You're a big

coat comes out in the first of

September. Very big coat day to day.

The coldest day of the week, the

last day of autumn. A light frost

across the UK. Temperatures close to

if not freezing. Minus six degrees

in Worcestershire. The risk of ice

in parts of Northern Ireland,

England and northern Scotland, where

some of you are waking up to a bit

of St Andrew's day snow. A slight

coating in Aberdeen city centre in

the past day, and the snow flurries

will continue. Some snow in East

Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. In

the west, showers. On the far west,

Wales, Devon and Cornwall. Some of

those easing through the day. In

between, for a vast majority of the

country it will be dry but the

showers in the east will push a bit

further inland through the day. And

it is eastern areas where the wind

chill will be most noticeable.

Either timely to the afternoon,

school pick-up in the evening rush

hour, snow flurries across the north

and east of Scotland. In the wind,

feeling more like -3 and minus four.

A better afternoon in Northern

Ireland, with some sunshine. Should

stay dry to the west of the Pennines

but east of the Pennines the showers

will become more abundant later on.

Rain on the coast, rain, sleet and

snow inland, giving a coating on the

hills. A few showers in East

Midlands, further west many will be

dry. Showers easing a little bit in

eastern England and Wales, shower

starting to push offshore again. But

the showers keep going in the

eastern part of England during the

night. The risk of some sleet and

snow around, and there will be some

ice. Temperatures only just above

freezing for many as we go into

tomorrow morning, but further west a

cold night and for some, but Italy

across Scotland, colder night than

last night. Where we have snow

lying, we could see temperatures

down around minus ten. So a cold

start to Friday morning again. The

breeze becoming less abundant

although showers continuing to feed

into the far south-east corner of

the country. Some of those pretty

heavy, with rain. Crowding over a

bit for Scotland and Northern

Ireland with some rain and that will

eventually bring in some slightly

less cold as we go into the weekend.

The weekend ahead will bring less

cold air, gradually, of the

Atlantic. The air coming from the

west instead of the Arctic. So

through this weekend, a little less

cold. It will be a slow progress

process to get to that milder air,

and some patchy rain around at times

as well.

More updates throughout the

morning.

as well.

More updates throughout the

morning. It is cold.

All this week, we have been looking

at the issues facing families

of children with special educational

needs and disabilities.

But what support is on offer

when those children become adults?

The education watchdog, Ofsted,

has told Breakfast there has been

little progress in providing

things like education,

health, and care for young people

once they get to 19,

with parents often describing

the system as a cliff edge.

Our disability affairs correspondent

Nikki Fox has been finding out more.

Did you have something to say?

Ruth

loves being at this specialist

college.

What colour is this, Ruth?

But it has been tough getting to

this point. Her dad had to fight to

get her and education, health and

care plan. Introduced three years

ago as part of major reforms, they

were designed to help children and

young people like roof, up to the

age of 25. It took tribunal 's and

around two years to get one. During

that time, Ruth missed a vital part

in her course in speech and language

therapy. She is 24 now, so she has

only got one year left.

Hello.

Life

with disabilities is a fight.

The

parents find it very hard. Mum is

extremely worried. I once said many

years ago to the social worker, when

she was small, if something happens

to me, put her in the grave with me.

And I still feel that way. Because I

do not actually feel that, in the

past 15 years, we have actually made

much of an improvement as far as

services are concerned, for these

vulnerable kids.

After recent

inspections, Ofsted has raised

concerns about lack of help and

resources for students once they

reach the age of 19. Report also

says the transfer to EHC plans has

had a negative impact on many young

people's lives. Wildlife expert

Chris Packham wasn't diagnosed with

Asperger's until he was in his 40s.

He has had a a successful career and

he is convinced that access to

education is key.

The highly gifted

and people at finding is we can't

ignore them. They are worth the

investment. Everyone deserves a

fair, proper education. That is what

should be underlying the principle

of our society, and at the moment

they are not getting it.

It is

karaoke afternoon at this specialist

training centre for people with

learning disabilities. Its aim is to

get talented young people like Ben

Hanson a diploma and a job. He is on

a placement which he hopes will lead

to paid work.

So you are working at

a hotel.

Yes.

What are you doing at

the hotel? Do you have a dream?

Yes.

What is your dream?

I want to work

in a posh hotel.

You want to work in

a posh hotel?

Yes.

, with only

around 6% of people with learning

disabilities in employment, despite

his energy and enthusiasm, the odds

are against him.

I think the whole

thing is difficult. Post-18, one

father described it to me as jumping

off a cliff. There is no

understanding that lifelong learning

disability is there, that it is with

you, and the education, health and

care plan, that finishes at 25. Then

what?

Is college fund? Council say

there isn't enough money or

facilities to offer support up to

the age of 25, but the government

says it has recently put in an extra

£45 million to help families of

young people with special

educational needs. All Ruth's

parents want is for her education to

continue for as long as possible, to

give her the best shot at living are

fulfilled, happy life.

Our disability correspondent

Nikki Fox joins us now.

Good morning.

Good morning. Ruth, I

mean, it is such an interesting

story, looking at Ruth and how her

parents were concerned about the

future. What does the future hold

for her?

The thing with Ruth, it is

unlikely she will get a job. Her

disability is profound and affects

her speech and language. She needed

that education setting for as long

as possible. In the time she is

spending there, she is improving her

communication and that will then set

her up for a safe and happy life.

She can express how she feels.

Ruth's parents have got a lot to

worry about, because when she leaves

that place, what is going to happen?

You know, is she going to move back

in with them? They are obviously

getting a bit older. Will she be

able to live independently or in

support of living? And they are

typical of so many parents of

children and young people who have

got profound, complex disabilities,

is that we all get stressed out,

don't we? For the parents of kids

with profound disabilities, it is

constant, relentless, and doesn't

let up. She is not going to move the

university, move out. It is what is

going to happen when I am no longer

here, is the biggest concern for so

many parents. It is stressful.

We

also met Ben, we heard about his

dreams of working in a posh hotel.

What happens now?

He is in a

placement, not paid work party

desperate Lee wants to. The figures

for people like Ben in employment

have been shockingly low for a long

time. It is 6% at the moment and

that has decreased overtime. So the

chances of Ben finding work, the

odds are stacked against him. With

an overall employment gap between

nondisabled people and disabled

people of around 30%, and that has

not budged in around a decade. It

has wavered, but it has not gone far

from 30% and that means that 50% of

disabled people are in work on

compared to around 80% of

nondisabled people. So for people

like Ben it is a constant struggle.

And you sort Rosa -- saw Rosa

Monckton, she set up a charity to

try and get them employment, but it

is tough.

And we have been talking

talk more about it later in the

programme. And you have been in

Those are the main stories this

morning. It is 6:33am which means it

is time the sport. An absolute

cracker of a goal from Wayne

cracker of a goal from Wayne Rooney.

They have buried then deep thumbs.

Like, double jointed thumbs.

Is it

the -- very bendy thumbs. You have

very bendy thumbs. That is weird.

I'm talking about a Wayne Rooney

Oh, that thumb.

Tell us the

story.

He scored a great goal and

Sam Allardyce is very pleased about

it.

Everton impressed their new manager

but the night belonged

to one man, Wayne Rooney

scoring his first Everton hat trick,

his third, he says, one of the best

goals he's ever scored.

Hard to disagree.

Especially when you're popping them

in from the halfway line.

That will give Sam Allardyce's team

a great lift when he takes over.

A great hat-trick, a great display

from Wayne. He is captain and

captain for a reason, going from a

top environment after a top spell,

tonight, we spoke about the bad run

having to come to an end, it doesn't

last forever and being a real man

does if you can stand up there and

fight in times of trouble.

From great goals to important ones,

And Pep Guardiola was pleased.

Fourth-placed Arsenal scored five

with their sledging.

Well, England bowler James Anderson

has his own message for the Aussies

Something always enjoyed, excuse me.

When someone is trying to get under

my skin, but just in cricket but in

all walks of life, it makes me more

determined to succeed 70 something

from a personal point of view

excites me and will drive me on to

try and do the best I can with bat

and ball.

Chris Froome will target victory

at May's Giro d'Italia where he'll

attempt to seal a hat-trick

of successive Grand Tour wins.

The 4-time Tour de France winner

won the Vuelta a Espana

for the first time this year

as well as Le Tour again

and will attempt to become only

the third rider in history to hold

all three Grand Tour

titles at the same time.

In netball, England came

from behind to beat Malawi

and complete a 3-0 series win.

The Roses were eight goals adrift

after the first quarter

in Birmingham but came back

to complete a 62-60 victory.

England, who are ranked third

in the world, are building up

to the Commonwealth Games

in Australia next year.

By the looks of it, they are in good

form as well. A big win for them.

Like the look of those goals. We

will be showing it again later and

again at 8:30 a.m..

Will we be able

to see your thumb later?

I don't

know what is weird about my thumb.

When you did that with your thumb,

we have the voices in our heads, the

other voices in our heads, they all

went, ooh! Look. That is a straight

thumb and C's is even straighter and

yours is bent.

You are double

jointed. It's all right.

I don't

know if there is any advantages to

that.

There will be. Thanks, John.

Litter levels recorded on the UK's

beaches this year are 10%

higher than they were a year ago,

and 20% of everything found

came from food and drink rubbish.

So is it time to tax

the worst offenders -

coffee cups, plastic cutlery,

and takeaway trays?

That's what the Marine Conservation

Society is calling for today.

Lauren Eyles is from the charity's

Beachwatch Programme,

and joins us now.

First floor, gives a sense of the

scale the problem.

Litter on UK

beaches is a massive problem. The

levels increased by 10% from last

year which is huge and it highlights

that we urgently need something, and

more charges or refunds to reduce

all the levels in the UK.

What do

they look like?

We are calling for a

charge or a levy on items such as

copy cups, lives, stirrers and

straws. The kind of items that we

use on the go when we are out and

about doing everyday things.

A levy,

tax?

We up -- we are calling for a

levy on these items, similar to the

plastic bag charge. At the checkout,

at shops, to encourage people to

really think about why they are

buying them. Do they really need

that plastic bag, do they need that

straw? It encourages that behaviour

change that we really need to seek

to reduce litter levels in the UK.

It is one thing putting a levy or

attacks but ultimately, the reason

those things and about in the ocean

in this case is because someone has

dumped them. The responsibility for

what people do with things, is that

more important than the purchase of

them in the first place? We were

looking at those pictures, the

plastic bottle. Why is it in the

ocean? Somebody has just dumped it.

That comes from a variety of

different places. The public

accounts were over 60%. We all have

a responsibility to stop it getting

there in the first place. Awareness

is really increased across the UK

over the last few years in terms of

different campaigns and projects

that are being run. But there needs

to be a motivation to really stop

people from using these items in the

first place and we believe a levy

would create that behaviour change

as with plastic bags.

Why is there

still this problem? As Charlie said,

that is what it comes down to.

Whatever you buy, there are people

who will go to the beach and dump

their stuff or throw it out of cars.

Why is that not changing

significantly enough?

It all boils

down to awareness. That is the key

to some of these issues. If we try

and raise awareness, which, as I

say, the issue of plastics has been

massively raised, the profile of it

in the last year I think we really

need to really raise that awareness

but like I said, really create that

motivation and start placing more

charges and refunds on these items.

I was talking to someone this

morning who said they stopped using

plastic bags completely and 80% of

the UK public have stopped buying

plastic bags but they were saying it

took a year to make that behaviour

change.

I am not quite following

you. The plastic bags has been a

success story in terms of the

numbers that are going over the

counter but I am sure on the beach

is that we are seeing behind us, you

are seeing plastic bags on the

beaches because you are ending up

with a hard core of people who are

buying the bags in the first place

but I still not behaving responsibly

in relation to the stuff they do

have.

We have seen over a 20%

reduction in plastic bag figures on

UK beaches.

The items discovered?

Yes. There is a tangible link.

That

is why our data has showed that

massive reduction we believe a levy

is the right way to go on these

other single use plastic items that

are just unnecessary. You don't need

to use them and if we place a levy

on these items, we will hopefully

see the reductions in those items

like we did with the plastic bags.

Interesting in the attitudes. When

we had plastic cutlery, my mum would

wash it and use it again. We just

don't do that, we dispose of it.

We

have become a throwaway society and

we want to see that change.

Had he

got a number on takeaway packaging?

What is the price you are putting on

that?

It will vary. There is not one

rule that would fit everything. We

would want to see a similar price,

like the plastic bags. Just a couple

of pence to make people think about

whether they really need that and to

create that behaviour change and to

stop those items being bought in the

first place. Using a reusable

alternative which makes a huge

difference to us and the amazing

wildlife that we get the UK.

Thank

you very much. Lauren miles from the

Marine Conservation Society. If you

did want to walk along the beach

today, big coats are in order.

Definitely the case, especially in

eastern coastal counties. Pretty

windy as well. A noticeable

windchill. How is this for a scene

in Scarborough this morning? A good

covering of snow here and

Scarborough is not alone. Some parts

of northern Scotland, the outskirts

of Aberdeen. Another coating as well

to get St Andrew's Day up and

running. Down all the way into

Norfolk, a mixture of rain and sleet

in land. Devon, Cornwall, to the

west of Wales. An ice risk. The

showers becoming confined further

west during the day and in between

those two areas of showers, most

will have a dry and bright day. Take

a look at what is happening three

o'clock as we head towards the

school run. Lots of sunshine in the

west and south-west of Scotland.

Still snow flurries to the north and

east of Scotland. Two degrees, the

thermometer will feel more like -3,

minus four. The showers move a bit

further inland. You can see the

drain of sleet or snow. A bit more

cloud towards the south-east. Lots

of sunshine across western parts of

England and Wales. Becoming confined

out towards the far, far west as we

go through this evening and into the

night. Snow showers in northern

Scotland. An ice riskier. Even with

temperatures around the freezing

market is not above. With clear

skies, widespread -- widespread

frost. It could get as low as -10

through some parts of Scotland.

Another cold start tomorrow. Still a

breezy start an icy wind across the

eastern parts of England. Showers

becoming less abundant through the

day. Further rain showers through

the far south-east corner. Failure

to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Still quite cold. Patchy rain

developing. Something changing

towards the north-west later. High

pressure to the west of others. We

are dragging the of the Atlantic. An

indication this weekend we will see

something a little less cheery. It

will take a while. Saturday will

still be cold. Notice that

temperatures, temperatures lifting

up. And by Sunday, after a spell of

patchy rain and drizzle, clearing

away from the south-east corner.

Some brighter skies on Sunday. Lots

of cloud but nowhere near as cold.

That is a positive. Back to double

digits.

Only a brief one, though!

Back to double digits.

Happy happy.

You heard from Nikki earlier that

only a staggeringly small number,

just 6%, of people who have

a learning disability

are in full-time paid work.

So should employers be doing more?

Sean is taking a look for us.

Good morning. I have Craig and made

to have a chat with me. -- Meg.

Nikki was saying, wasn't she,

the employment rate for people

living with a disability

is around 50%.

That could be anything from needing

a wheelchair to conditions such

as autism, whereas the rate

is about 80% for those without,

a gap of 30%.

And that gap has hardly moved

for years, in spite of Government

and business plans and proposals

to get more people into work.

We have talked about the issue on

Breakfast before.

I've got a couple of people with me

who will know more about what can

help, Craig and Meg.

Craig, you represent a lot of small

businesses, Meg, you are from

Sodexo.

We provide services to a

range of organisations like schools,

hospitals, and also corporate

environments. And our services are

things like catering, cleaning,

Grounds, facilities management, as

well as reception services.

So we

will get onto a few of those in a

moment. Craig, when you hear that

employment rate gap, 30%, why do you

think it is so big?

Well, if you

start off with small businesses, who

I represent, we find that the route

back to work for many people comes

through small business. So about 30%

of that group you mentioned, more

than 50% of those are through small

businesses. So what we actually need

to do is see what is working and

make that bigger. There are lots of

things we can do. If you are a small

business owner, you tend to run your

business like a family unit. What we

would love to see is people feeling

confident enough and knowing what

they are doing in order to employ

more people.

And that rate must come

from somewhere. Is it big business

is not having enough of a focus and

a within them for all the managers

and all the recruiters within that

this is to feel confident in

recruiting everybody?

I think it is

an interesting point. Many large

organisations like ours, where we

employ 30,000 people, our local

sites can still have that very

family feel. So our experience is

that while there is a large

organisation which will have

programmes in place and commitments

to bring in people with

disabilities, where that works well

is when we have the commitment of

the on-site teams who are really

wanting to add to someone's

quality-of-life I providing them

with the opportunity to gain those

employability skills. We know it is

difficult for those people to gain

them, especially early in their

careers.

Yes, and that first step on

the ladder of employment can be the

hardest, especially when you are

trying to send CV 's to many

businesses. Do you think as an

employer that people who are looking

at those TVs, if they see that

someone on those living with a

disability, compared to somebody

else who isn't, but that may affect

their way of thinking a little bit?

There is lots of research showing

that people really do have bias is

against people with disabilities,

and I think the key thing for

organisations to do is to break down

those barriers. So from a Sodexo

perspective, we do organisation wide

campaigns featuring people with

successful jobs in our organisation

who perhaps have invisible

disabilities, so people who have

started as chefs or general managers

and become much more senior within

our organisation and had that

successful career progression.

And

Craig, just very briefly, we will

speak to the government a little

later, is there anything they can do

to help small businesses?

Yes, one

thought was a national insurers

holiday, so someone has autism or

other guests, I have seen some of

the promotions you have done over

the last few days where there are

people with real talent, and we have

to find those people and get them

real jobs. One way is for a small

business owner, that is the person

we need to convince to do this kind

of good work as soon as we have done

that, that small business will do

that forever more. You mentioned

your company, but I found another

company who produced educational

materials for autistic kids, and

that is from a mother who had an

idea, created a business, created

apprenticeships with autistic

children. You can see it work. And

if there was a financial incentive,

that first year of employment, to

look after someone with a

disability, that would be a real

plus.

That is one thing to May be

put to the government a little later

in the programme.

The Northern Ireland Secretary has

told Breakfast that the Government

recognises that the final Brexit

deal will have to recognise

the unique challenges posed

by the Irish border.

The Irish Government and the EU have

been pushing for Northern Ireland

to remain inside the customs

union and single market,

even if the rest of the UK leaves.

That is now the main sticking point

stopping Brexit negotiations

from moving on to trade.

Chris Buckler has been

looking at the challenges.

For many months now,

politicians have been huddled

in Brexit negotiations.

The UK and the EU both

pushing their priorities.

And what is decided on one

of the key issues will have quite

an impact here.

The Derry Donegal Vipers

are an Irish-American football team,

and their players come from both

Northern Ireland and the Republic.

Our whole team is split

almost down the middle,

from either side

of the border, which is great.

A key question is, what will happen

to that border after Brexit?

In the future, is it possible

that people will have

to negotiate their way

through customs posts as they once

did in the past?

A hard border would make it

difficult, because you pretty much

have to go

through customs checks to go

to training a couple

of times a week.

They'll think you're suspicious

carrying these big bags

and helmets across.

That is a journey many

take on a daily basis.

Some are wondering what their

morning commute will be

like in the future.

They're saying they do not want

a hard border, but the detail of not

having a hard border,

it has never been clearly defined

for me.

She lives in County Donegal,

and every day crosses

the border

to go to a job as a

principal in Londonderry.

This is an old customs

post right here.

That was the place

where you were stopped.

Her concerns about a hard border go

beyond potential traffic delays.

The community is quite seamless.

A lot of talk about the economy,

and the impact on the economy,

much less the social fabric

of the Society of a border people,

which we are.

Many cross the border regularly

to go to school, even hospital.

They said that the British

Government has been too late

in recognising the true

impact of Brexiteer.

They're not thinking

about the consequences of Brexit.

The consequences for people

who have become used,

and have mortgages

and people in college,

based upon a livelihood

which appreciates the fact that

you can move across without tariffs.

The biggest obstacle to ensuring

there are no obstacles

on the many border bridges and roads

are to do with customs.

The EU says it Northern Ireland

was to stick to the same economic

rules, the issue would be sold.

The Prime Minister has been very

clear in saying that,

as we leave the

European Union, we leave

the single market is

and we leave the customs union.

But we know there need

to be specific outcomes,

to meet the unique

circumstances of Northern Ireland

and the island of Ireland

as a whole.

That sounds like a desire to deal.

They want guarantees

about the border.

That means there will be

more clashes to come.

Chris is in Londonderry this

morning, and we can talk to him now.

I know you have been speaking to

either side of the border.

Yes, I

mean, the thing is, it is just that

question of uncertainty. I am

standing on the Peace Bridge in

Derry, Londonderry. Even what you

call the city is something that

divides people. But the thing is the

peace process, and we are standing

on the Peace Bridge, has had a

really clear impact on people's

lives. There are two that have been

brought together, and the border in

the past, people talk about the

security border, and that is what is

foremost in their minds. Whenever

they had to be a security presence

at that point where Northern Ireland

met the Republic of Ireland. There

is nobody suggesting that that is

going to return, but there is a real

issue about what will happen there.

When people talk about a hard

border, they mean protest

potentially customs posts, that

people might have to go through some

kind of physical presence again, and

people don't want that. They live

their lives on either side of the

border. They go to see friends, they

do shopping, they do all sorts of

things. So we will be travelling the

entire length of the 300 mile

border, talking to people all day.

We will begin that journey right

now, and a little later on Breakfast

I will join you from right but that

order, and we will find out what

people there think.

300 miles in a

day.

By the time we get to Sunday,

we're up to 10 degrees.

I'm back with the latest

Donald Trump lashes out

The most of us, and bright. That bit

of snow across parts of eastern

England and Scotland. I will tell

you if it's going to affect more of

you. See them.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

President Trump has told Theresa May

that she should pay more attention

to tackling terrorism in the UK,

rather than criticising him.

The message was delivered

in a tweet last night

after Downing Street criticised

the US President for sharing

anti-Muslim videos posted

by a British far-right group

on social media.

The row has placed more pressure

on the Prime Minister to cancel

Mr Trump's state visit

to the UK next year.

Our North America Correspondent

Laura Bicker has more.

They may have held hands once

but this so-called special

relationship is now being tested

by a series of presidential tweets.

First, from the account of a far

right anti-Muslim group called

Britain First, Donald Trump

retweeted three inflammatory

videos to his 43 million followers.

The first claimed incorrectly

to show a Muslim migrant attacking

a man on crutches.

When challenged, the White House

said the videos might not be

real but the threat was.

Both Theresa May and a lot of other

world leaders across this country,

I mean, across the world,

know that these are real threats

that we have to talk about.

I think Europe has seen that a lot

firsthand and something

the President wants to continue

to talk about and continue to make

sure that we're dealing with.

Theresa May is on a tour

of the Middle East but her official

spokesman said the President had

been wrong to share the posts.

It was that condemnation

which prompted a Twitter outburst

from Donald Trump's account.

He told Theresa May not

to focus on him but to focus

on the destructive

radical Islamic terrorism taking

place within the United Kingdom.

"We are doing just fine," he said.

The President has caused diplomatic

headaches for the UK several times

already this year.

From backing Nigel Farage

as an ambassador to Washington,

to attacking the London

Mayor Sadiq Khan,

all from his favourite

social media platform.

It may be a show of strength

for his supporters but it may also

weaken his position abroad.

Laura Bicker, BBC News, Washington.

Alex Forsyth is travelling with the

Prime Minister in Jordan this

morning. There was a bluntness to it

in a way. Don't focus on me, Theresa

May. Focus on Islamic radical

terrorism. We are doing just fine.

What he is shearing so far?

It was a

pretty blunt tweet. Some would see

that is pure criticism of Theresa

May and is a bit of Iranian fact

that while the Prime Minister is

here doing a very short tour of the

Middle East to try and forge new

partnerships and make friendships

around the world, there is this

argument with the President of the

United States. We did that -- we did

have that rebuke from Downing Street

but we haven't heard directly from

the Prime Minister. This morning,

she is due to address the

conference. There will be a Q&A from

journalists. It seems inevitable she

has to respond to the latest from

Donald Trump and among senior

figures in her party, there is

condemnation of the President of the

United States.

He was backed by the leader of the

Scottish Conservatives, the Labour

leader, Jeremy Kervin -- Jeremy

Corbyn urging the government to

condemn this. All eyes on Theresa

May to see how she is going to

respond.

The United States has called

on the international community

to sever ties with North Korea -

it follows the country's latest

ballistic missile test.

North Korean state media claimed

that Wednesday's missile

launch was the most powerful

in the country's history.

At an emergency meeting

of the UN Security Council,

Washington's Ambassador to the UN,

Nikki Haley warned of dire

consequences if war were to break

out on the Korean peninsula.

The dictator of North Korea made

a choice yesterday that brings

the world closer to war,

not farther from it.

We have never sought war

with North Korea and still today,

we do not seek it.

If war does come, it will be

because of continued acts

of aggression like we witnessed

yesterday and if war comes,

make no mistake, the North Korean

regime will be utterly destroyed.

A 24-year-old British man, Oliver

During that time, she found

it hard to get a job.

I left uni with a first-class degree

in law and I've been turned down

from kind of basic admin roles

when I had quite significant

experience and that sort of thing.

Some of them, I might not

have got the job anyway.

Some of them, it was quite clear

from the questions they are asking,

it was because of my disability.

The employment gap between disabled

and non-disabled people hasn't

significantly changed for some years

despite a pledge back

in 2015 to halve it.

Today, the government has published

a plan that aims to see 1 million

more disabled people in work

over the next 10 years.

We are making progress.

We've got 600,000 more disabled

people in work than we did

four years ago.

What we want to do is continue

to work with employers,

to continue to exploit

the opportunities of new technology

and to keep testing and learning

to find out what works,

what are the things that actually

can make a difference

so that more disabled people can

fulfil their potential

and get a good job.

Today's announcement also includes

measures to provide access

to personalised

support for those with

mental health issues and an increase

in the variety of healthcare

professionals who are able to issue

fitness-to-work notices

but with employment

rates for people with

learning disabilities at around 6%,

charities are warning

the progreess is too slow.

We'll be talking to the Work

and Pensions Secretary David Gauke

about this just after 8:00.

Investigations are under

way following the death

of a Bosnian Croat war criminal,

who drank poison in court

after he was convicted

of crimes against humanity.

Just moments after

United Nations judges

upheld his 20-year sentence at

the International Criminal Tribunal

in the Hague, Slobodan

Praljak said he rejected

the verdict and drank

what he said was poison.

The 72-year old died in hospital

and the UN announced the courtroom

was now "a crime scene".

A watchdog has found that police

helicopters take so long to reach

crime scenes that more than 40

per cent of incidents are over

before they arrive.

In its first independent study

of police air support,

Her Majesty's Inpectorate

of Constabulary said helicopters

and bases were providing

sub-standard responses

to ongoing incidents.

Inspectors have called

for the service in England and Wales

to be urgently reformed or replaced.

Litter on beaches rose

by 10% this year,

with a fifth of the rubbish made up

of on-the-go food and drinks items

such as cups, foil

wrappers and bottles.

The Marine Conservation

Society is now calling

on the Government to put a levy

on single-use items handed over

for free like plastic cutlery,

straws and sandwich packaging.

To really stop people from using

these items in the first place and

we believe a levy would create that

behaviour change as it has done with

a plastic bag charge.

American Airlines says it has

It's being described as a huge

deal by scientists -

a breakthrough in migraine treatment

which appears to have reduced

the number and severity of attacks

in some people by half.

So just how significant

are these findings,

and when might

we see treatment

available on the NHS?

We're joined now by Sally Cleary,

who suffers from severe migraines,

and by Dr Fayyaz Ahmed,

a consultant neurologist.

Let's start with you. Celek, tells

what you suffer with.

I was

diagnosed nine years ago with the

birth of my third child in a woke up

one morning, my daughter was five

weeks old and I thought I had a

stroke. I was slurring my words, I

was confused and after a few days of

investigation, by a process of

elimination, I had a form of

migraine, very unusual and it has

quite interesting symptoms and I

don't get headaches with it. Because

it hasn't been diagnosed until then

what happens when you have one of

these? I have quite profound

physical symptoms. Confusion,

dizziness, problems with logical

reasoning, thinking of the next

step. I slur my words. I can't find

words, sometimes can't even speak. I

have problems following what people

are saying is. And I have one sided

numbness and weakness. It looks a

little bit like I have had a soap

--a stroke. I do have quite a fine

-- profound aura. It gives these

sort of different symptoms.

That is

a very graphic description of what

it is like living with the

condition. It is suggested the new

trials could reduce the number and

severity of migraine attacks.

Dr

Fayyaz Ahmed, tells a bit more. The

new drugs that are currently going

to be marketed only -- in the next

year or so, the first ever drug that

has been developed for migraine.

Currently, what drugs we use our

fourth depression, epilepsy. And

they also work for migraine.

It's a

bold claim. Does it work. --?

The

data suggests it works similar to

other drugs but the beauty of these
