0:00:05 > 0:00:07Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Munchetty.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11A former Scotland Yard detective tells the BBC he was shocked

0:00:11 > 0:00:15by the amount of pornography viewed on a computer seized from the office

0:00:15 > 0:00:19of the First Secretary of State, Damian Green nine years ago.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Speaking for the first time, the technology specialist says

0:00:22 > 0:00:24thousands of images containing legal pornographic material

0:00:24 > 0:00:28were on a device in his Westminster office.

0:00:28 > 0:00:35Mr Green has vehemently denied looking at pornography at work.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Good morning, it's Friday the 1st of December.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Also this morning, a review is launched into NHS radiology

0:00:50 > 0:00:53services in England after the health watchdog is told that junior doctors

0:00:53 > 0:00:55at one hospital were asked to examine x-rays without

0:00:55 > 0:00:56the right training.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Prince Harry and Meghan Markle head to Nottingham for first public

0:00:59 > 0:01:07engagement together since they announced their plans

0:01:07 > 0:01:09to marry.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12To mark the end of our amazing week about special

0:01:12 > 0:01:15educational needs, we're at Piper Hill High in Manchester.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Today we're at this outstanding special school to hear what can be

0:01:18 > 0:01:26done to ensure every child fulfils their potential.

0:01:26 > 0:01:35This is Fergus, a classroom assistant.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36I'm

0:01:36 > 0:01:38in the sensory room here, which helps children understand

0:01:38 > 0:01:39the world around them.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Today we're reporting that 1.4 million kids have speech

0:01:41 > 0:01:45and language difficulties - but far too many of them are not

0:01:45 > 0:01:46getting the help they need.

0:01:46 > 0:01:52Good morning. There is no stopping the vinyl revival, after a decade of

0:01:52 > 0:01:55increasing sales we are still on course to buy 30% more this year

0:01:55 > 0:02:00than last year. I will have more on that later.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03In sport, the world waits as the draw for the 2018 World Cup

0:02:03 > 0:02:06in Russia takes place at the Kremlin this afternoon.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10England are not one of the top seeds, so we will be hoping to avoid

0:02:10 > 0:02:13the likes of Brazil, Argentina and Germany. And Matt has the weather.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Good morning. It is the meteorological start of winter

0:02:17 > 0:02:22today. Icy across parts of eastern England, and plenty of ice behind me

0:02:22 > 0:02:26here in Brighton. Over the next few days it will actually get milder. I

0:02:26 > 0:02:30will have the full forecast in net -- in the next 15 minutes.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Good morning, first our main story.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35A former Scotland Yard detective has told BBC News he was shocked

0:02:35 > 0:02:38by the amount of pornography on a Parliamentary computer seized

0:02:38 > 0:02:41from the office of the First Secretary of State, Damian Green.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Neil Lewis examined the device during an inquiry into government

0:02:44 > 0:02:44leaks in 2008.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Mr Green, who is in effect Theresa May's deputy,

0:02:47 > 0:02:49has vehemently denied looking at pornography at work,

0:02:49 > 0:02:51initially describing the allegations as "disreputable, political smears."

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Mr Lewis, a retired computer forensics specialist who hasn't

0:02:54 > 0:02:57spoken out before said analysis of the way the computer had been

0:02:57 > 0:03:00used left him in "no doubt whatsoever" that the material had

0:03:00 > 0:03:03been accessed by Mr Green, who was then an Opposition

0:03:03 > 0:03:04immigration spokesman.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Here's Theresa May's oldest and most trusted political ally. Now Damian

0:03:08 > 0:03:13Green is facing a battle for little survival, amid claims he viewed

0:03:13 > 0:03:17pornography on his work computer. Damian Green has vehemently denied

0:03:17 > 0:03:22the allegations.I had an exemplary record.Now the detective who

0:03:22 > 0:03:26examined the device has given me his account.The shocking thing was that

0:03:26 > 0:03:35as I was viewing it, I noticed a lot of pornography thumbnails, which

0:03:35 > 0:03:45indicated Web browsing. But a lot, there was a lot of them. So I was

0:03:45 > 0:03:49surprised to see that on a parliamentary computer.How many

0:03:49 > 0:03:54images did you see?Thousands. Thousands of pornographic images?

0:03:54 > 0:04:01Thumbnail images.The computer had been seized in 2008 after police

0:04:01 > 0:04:07raided Damian Green's officers. The MP, then in opposition, was the

0:04:07 > 0:04:11subject of an unrelated enquiry into Home Office leaks. He was never

0:04:11 > 0:04:15charged. How can you be sure it was Damian Green who was accessing the

0:04:15 > 0:04:20pornography?There is that phrase, you can't put fingers on a keyboard.

0:04:20 > 0:04:27I can't say that. But the computer was in Mr Green's office, on his

0:04:27 > 0:04:39desk. Login, his account, his name. -- log in. -- logged. In between

0:04:39 > 0:04:42browsing pornography he was sending emails from his account, his

0:04:42 > 0:04:50personal account. Reading documents, writing documents.The Cabinet

0:04:50 > 0:04:53office is examining the pornography claims as part of a wider enquiry

0:04:53 > 0:04:58into Mr Green's conduct. But Neil Lewis has not been asked to give

0:04:58 > 0:05:02evidence. A spokesperson for Damian Green said it would the

0:05:02 > 0:05:04inappropriate for Mr Green to comment while the Cabinet office

0:05:04 > 0:05:08investigation was continuing. However, the spokesperson said that

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Damian Green had:

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Mr Green maintains his innocence.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Health inspectors have ordered a review of all NHS radiology

0:05:19 > 0:05:23services in England after a hospital in Portsmouth failed to spot three

0:05:23 > 0:05:24cases of lung cancer.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26The investigation by the Care Quality Commission also

0:05:26 > 0:05:28found that 20,000 chest scans had not been assessed correctly

0:05:28 > 0:05:30at the Queen Alexandra Hospital.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32The Portsmouth Hospital NHS Trust has apologised

0:05:32 > 0:05:40to the families affected.

0:05:40 > 0:05:46Mark Lobel reports.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50An alarming backlog of unchecked medical scans has been found at the

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth by the health services

0:05:53 > 0:05:56regulator, after a member of the public raised concerns. The care

0:05:56 > 0:06:02will decommission found between the first of April 2016 and the 31st of

0:06:02 > 0:06:12March this year, 26,345 chest x-rays and 2167 abdomen x-rays had not been

0:06:12 > 0:06:14formally reviewed by a radiologist or an appropriately trained

0:06:14 > 0:06:21clinician. Some had been checked, but by junior doctors, who

0:06:21 > 0:06:23complained that they had been asked to do so without appropriate

0:06:23 > 0:06:30training. In some cases where x-rays had been declared clear,

0:06:30 > 0:06:35radiologists went on to spot cancer on later scans. In a statement, the

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Care Quality Commission said:

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Portsmouth NHS Trust said:

0:06:53 > 0:06:58The health regulator has now written to all trust in England to build up

0:06:58 > 0:07:02a national picture of how quickly patients' x-rays are viewed. But

0:07:02 > 0:07:07tackling the problem will be tough. Experts have warned of a desperate

0:07:07 > 0:07:11shortage of radiologists across the country, and a backlog of hundreds

0:07:11 > 0:07:15of thousands of x-rays and scans.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18MPs scrutinising the government's Brexit plans says border controls

0:07:18 > 0:07:19between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic

0:07:19 > 0:07:22are inevitable if the UK leaves the EU single market

0:07:22 > 0:07:23and customs union.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26The Commons Brexit Committee says ministers have failed to explain how

0:07:26 > 0:07:29the issue can be resolved, and that the proposals they've come

0:07:29 > 0:07:32up with - such as the use of technology -

0:07:32 > 0:07:36are "untested" and "speculative."

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Survivors and those who lost loved ones in the Grenfell fire say

0:07:39 > 0:07:42the public inquiry into the disaster will be a whitewash unless a diverse

0:07:42 > 0:07:44panel is appointed to oversee the proceedings.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47The government says the process is ongoing, but campaigners

0:07:47 > 0:07:50are urging the Prime Minister to intervene, and say the chairman,

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Sir Martin Moore-Bick, should sit with a range of people

0:07:53 > 0:08:03who understand the issues facing those affected by the disaster.

0:08:03 > 0:08:08Without our involvement, without us being listened to, without

0:08:08 > 0:08:12co-operation from us, what type of enquiry is this, you know? This is

0:08:12 > 0:08:17what we have to remember, this is our enquiry, our public enquiry. We

0:08:17 > 0:08:21are the ones who lost families and we want a fair crack at justice and

0:08:21 > 0:08:26we want to be listened to, we don't want to be ignored. We want a panel

0:08:26 > 0:08:28of people to understand us and our concerns.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31The Argentine navy has abandoned efforts to rescue the 44 crew

0:08:31 > 0:08:33members of a submarine that disappeared two weeks ago.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Thousands of people have been involved in the search

0:08:36 > 0:08:39for the San Juan, covering a 40,000 square kilometre area of the South

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Atlantic.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42The authorities say they will still try to locate the wreckage.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Disruption is expected in parts of the UK this morning,

0:08:45 > 0:08:49after temperatures dropped as low as minus eight overnight.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Yesterday eastern England, Kent and parts of Scotland saw

0:08:52 > 0:08:54the first widespread snowfall of winter, and another 5cm

0:08:54 > 0:09:02could fall in some areas today.

0:09:02 > 0:09:08Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will carry out their first joint

0:09:08 > 0:09:12royal engagements later, just days after announcing

0:09:12 > 0:09:13that they're to marry in the spring.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16They will visit a number of charities in Nottingham,

0:09:16 > 0:09:18as our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell reports.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20It was only on Monday that Prince Harry introduced

0:09:20 > 0:09:23to the American actress Meghan Markle as his new fiancee.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25This photo call was held in the controlled environment

0:09:25 > 0:09:29of the garden at Kensington Palace but Miss Markle made it clear

0:09:29 > 0:09:32in the subsequent interview that she was keen to get out

0:09:32 > 0:09:35and about and meet the British public.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38In these beginning few months and now being boots on the ground

0:09:38 > 0:09:41in the UK, I'm excited to just really get to know more

0:09:41 > 0:09:43about the different communities here, smaller organisations,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46working on the same causes I've always been passionate

0:09:46 > 0:09:47about under this umbrella.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49And also being able to go around the Commonwealth,

0:09:49 > 0:09:51I think it's just the beginning...

0:09:51 > 0:09:57There's a lot to do.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Their first engagement together will highlight an issue Prince Harry

0:10:00 > 0:10:05has become a prominent campaigner on behalf of,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07AIDS and HIV awareness.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09They will then visit Nottingham Academy through the Royal

0:10:09 > 0:10:13foundation he has supported.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Full Effect, a programme attempted to tackle youth crime.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17This was Prince Harry meeting the public in Nottingham

0:10:17 > 0:10:18earlier this year.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21According to his spokesman, it's a community that's become very

0:10:21 > 0:10:24special to him and one he's looking forward to introducing

0:10:24 > 0:10:25to his new fiancee.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Born and raised in California, Meghan Markle has already agreed

0:10:28 > 0:10:31to make the UK her home and the people of Nottingham will be

0:10:31 > 0:10:34the first to publicly welcome her.

0:10:34 > 0:10:41Sarah Campbell, BBC News.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Time now, ten minutes past six, time to talk to Mike.Good morning. Lots

0:10:46 > 0:10:50of football fans are talking about this as though it is Christmas Eve,

0:10:50 > 0:10:54because today, all of those World Cup finalists find out where, which

0:10:54 > 0:10:58is important in Russia because it is so big, and who, they will be

0:10:58 > 0:11:02playing. Once the draw is made you can start looking at the places,

0:11:02 > 0:11:06learn about the geography, learn about the countries you will be

0:11:06 > 0:11:09facing. It might be Panama or Iran were Australia against England, how

0:11:09 > 0:11:13amazing would that be? In rehearsal, England drew Brazil twice. And

0:11:13 > 0:11:18Argentina. But the real thing takes place today inside the Kremlin at

0:11:18 > 0:11:22three o'clock. England and the other 31 teams which have qualified will

0:11:22 > 0:11:25find out who and where they will be playing. Russia has something like

0:11:25 > 0:11:30three or four different time zones. England have already picked a base

0:11:30 > 0:11:34near Saint Petersburg and will be hoping to avoid long trips to the

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Far East and side of Russia.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38The former England manager, Sam Allardyce, is officially back

0:11:38 > 0:11:39in the game.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42He's signed an 18-month deal to take over at Everton.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45He's been out since February after more back surgery,

0:11:45 > 0:11:47but Tiger Woods described his opening round as "great"

0:11:47 > 0:11:50as he made his latest return to golf in the Bahamas.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52He shot a 3-under par 69.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54And at the Wheelchair Tennis Masters in Loughbrough,

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Britain's Gordon Reid kept his hopes of a semi-final place alive

0:11:57 > 0:12:03with victory in his second group match.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08I've got more for you in a moment in the papers.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12There are warnings commuters might face disruption today because of ice

0:12:12 > 0:12:16and snow. Lots of pictures in the papers of lots of frost and snow

0:12:16 > 0:12:22around. Matt is keeping up with the chilly theme, he is in Brighton. It

0:12:22 > 0:12:27is icy there, to say the least. At a gorgeous view.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32Very gorgeous, isn't it? It is the meteorological start to winter, the

0:12:32 > 0:12:37first of December. I have come in search of some ice. I didn't need to

0:12:37 > 0:12:41this morning, there is some ice around, and you might be seeing it

0:12:41 > 0:12:45out there in the UK as well. We have had an early taste of winter, do

0:12:45 > 0:12:48could say, across the country, with temperatures lower than they should

0:12:48 > 0:12:52eat for this time of year. Quite a bit of snow across eastern England.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56If anything, across the next few days, temperatures will be on the

0:12:56 > 0:13:01rise. It is set to get a bit milder. Let's look at the forecast of this

0:13:01 > 0:13:06weekend. Not only is it set to turn milder, but it will also turn

0:13:06 > 0:13:09cloudy, would not as much sunshine around us this morning.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Temperatures rising across the Hebrides, with patchy rain. Central

0:13:16 > 0:13:20and southern Scotland will be lovely and sunny but with a frosty start. A

0:13:20 > 0:13:23little bit of ice. Sunshine out across parts of north-west England

0:13:23 > 0:13:28as well. And Northern Ireland. East of the Pennines and all the way down

0:13:28 > 0:13:32into eastern England, much more cloud around. A few showers of snow

0:13:32 > 0:13:35around, but mainly turning to rain and sleet now. Because the pitches

0:13:35 > 0:13:39have only been a few degrees above freezing there has been ice. Take it

0:13:39 > 0:13:43easy on the pavements. The western half of England and Wales, a

0:13:43 > 0:13:47different story altogether. 12 isolated showers in western Wales.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Clear and frosty later, with a lovely sunny day to come. Not as

0:13:50 > 0:13:55windy as yesterday. Reasonably dry and sunny and Northern Ireland, with

0:13:55 > 0:14:00temperatures below freezing. Here, the best of the sunshine will be

0:14:00 > 0:14:05this morning. Through the day, that cloud in the far north-west of

0:14:05 > 0:14:09Scotland is going to slowly push its way south and east. Turning cloudy

0:14:09 > 0:14:12across Scotland and Northern Ireland and by the end of the day, in the

0:14:12 > 0:14:16far north-west of England, we will see patchy rain. Most places will

0:14:16 > 0:14:20stay dry. Showers confined to East Anglia and the far south-east later.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Temperatures still on the low side, but up about one degree on

0:14:24 > 0:14:28yesterday. And you can take away the strength of the wind so it will not

0:14:28 > 0:14:32feel as chilly. But it is still cold. Called into tonight as we go

0:14:32 > 0:14:36across England and Wales, a touch of frost arriving quite quickly. Cloud

0:14:36 > 0:14:41pushing down across the north. Lifting temperatures through the

0:14:41 > 0:14:44night, cloud breaks later, especially east of high ground in

0:14:44 > 0:14:47the east of Scotland and eastern England, and also in the far

0:14:47 > 0:14:51south-west. A touch of frost, and some ice to begin Saturday morning.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Much more cloud UK wide on the weekend, a bit of patchy rain at the

0:14:55 > 0:14:59top and tail of the country. The best of the brightness will be a

0:14:59 > 0:15:02cross the north of Scotland and north-east England. Double

0:15:02 > 0:15:06temperatures in some parts, still quite chilly across eastern England,

0:15:06 > 0:15:10but by Sunday all of us will be into that milder air. Probably brighter

0:15:10 > 0:15:13across the country on Sunday after overnight rain. Still some patchy

0:15:13 > 0:15:17rain in the west stop the best of any rain on Sunday will be towards

0:15:17 > 0:15:22the east. -- west of any sunshine. The pitches could get up to around

0:15:22 > 0:15:28ten of -- ten or 11 degrees. Chilly again today, but a little less cold

0:15:28 > 0:15:29as we go into this weekend.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Thank you, Matt. We were just wondering, how many layers are you

0:15:36 > 0:15:44wearing?I am on a four lay a day this morning.Thermals, I hope.You

0:15:44 > 0:15:49have to do. Thank you.

0:15:51 > 0:16:00Let's take a look at today's papers.

0:16:00 > 0:16:07Many of the images dominated by President Trump after the various

0:16:07 > 0:16:15Twitter messages. The Daily Mirror makes its views

0:16:15 > 0:16:24very clear. Not wanted. Taking a look at the idea that the president

0:16:24 > 0:16:31has been Rowling over social media with the Prime Minister -- rowing.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35Some say he is not welcome in the UK.

0:16:35 > 0:16:40This is the front page of the Telegraph.It is quite interesting.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Lots of people work on the Bank of England and one of the policymakers

0:16:44 > 0:16:49on the Financial Policy Committee was doing a speech, saying size of

0:16:49 > 0:16:54our debt relative to the economy is still pretty big. And even though

0:16:54 > 0:16:59they said in a budget it is expected a portion of our economy will come

0:16:59 > 0:17:05down so on, we still can't be too casual about it. They say there

0:17:10 > 0:17:18start borrowing more, it is one to keep an eye on. On the front of the

0:17:18 > 0:17:24FT, an interesting one from... A bit of a dingdong between Jeremy Corbyn

0:17:24 > 0:17:31and the big banks. So a few days ago, one of the big American banks

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Morgan Stanley said the prospect of a Jeremy Corbyn government could be

0:17:35 > 0:17:40a bigger risk to the financial economy in the UK than Brexit,

0:17:40 > 0:17:44depending on how his policies might play out.Because he is seen as

0:17:44 > 0:17:49being less favourable in terms of tax breaks.Yes. But Jeremy Corbyn

0:17:49 > 0:17:55has hit back, saying, yes, the banks we probably would be a bit of a

0:17:55 > 0:18:01threat.FA Cup second round tomorrow and a star midfielder who certainly

0:18:01 > 0:18:10likes an aerial challenge has also done all of the washing.

0:18:10 > 0:18:16For the rest of the team? Yes, for Gateshead. You wouldn't get

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Cristiano Ronaldo doing that? It takes ages to dry all of the staff.

0:18:20 > 0:18:28Who is he? JJ O'Donnell.You need to do the

0:18:28 > 0:18:32washing the August and September games.

0:18:32 > 0:18:39I wonder if he has any good laundry tips. The mud stains and everything.

0:18:39 > 0:18:46Lots of puns in this article. About different washing powders. And of

0:18:46 > 0:18:50course England pay Australia in the rug elite World Cup final. I wonder

0:18:50 > 0:18:58if England's secret weapon is because he sings on the pitch every

0:18:58 > 0:19:01time he gets the ball. He sings a little song.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Do we know what he sings? Different songs. He has a hold to

0:19:05 > 0:19:12box repertoire. I wonder if it puts the opponents. -- jukebox

0:19:12 > 0:19:17repertoire.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24All this week we've been shining a light on special

0:19:24 > 0:19:27educational needs, looking at the challenges faced by disabled

0:19:27 > 0:19:28children and their families.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's prompted so many personal and powerful

0:19:30 > 0:19:30stories from viewers.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Many of you have been in touch with tales of your struggles,

0:19:34 > 0:19:38but also your stories of hope and success.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Louise is spending the morning at a very special school

0:19:41 > 0:19:44in Manchester, seeing how teachers there make sure every child

0:19:44 > 0:19:50fulfils their potential.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53That is certainly a feat to be taken on. Good morning!

0:19:53 > 0:19:59Good morning. Good morning, everybody, and thank you so much for

0:19:59 > 0:20:04all of those messages this week. For the final day of our series we are

0:20:04 > 0:20:10in this outstanding special school. It is Piper Hill High in Manchester.

0:20:10 > 0:20:18We are delighted to be here. This morning we have Joe, Linda Jones,

0:20:18 > 0:20:22head teacher, Fergus, a classroom assistant. I now everyone is really

0:20:22 > 0:20:26excited to have us here today. So excited that you've all been for a

0:20:26 > 0:20:33sleepover last night. How was it?It was really good, Louise, really.

0:20:33 > 0:20:39Really good to do it with my friend. We give debt any sleep?Yeah.That's

0:20:39 > 0:20:43good. I know you've been here for a while. What's your favourite thing

0:20:43 > 0:20:51about this school?It is peer-like, with rugby. And they like doing my

0:20:51 > 0:20:55work experience with Tesco.Which has gone really well. You have been

0:20:55 > 0:20:58telling me how good the work experience went.And he went back

0:20:58 > 0:21:06and volunteered on holidays?Yeah. And people came in on -- especially

0:21:06 > 0:21:11in the morning to see you, because you were so popular.I helped people

0:21:11 > 0:21:15out sometimes with some jobs.And I know people came back especially to

0:21:15 > 0:21:20go to your till, which is brilliant. Thank you for coming in. We are

0:21:20 > 0:21:24staying here all morning, which is fantastic. We will find out how

0:21:24 > 0:21:28everything is the same, but as you can see just a little bit different.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32We know lots of people are trying to get places for their children in

0:21:32 > 0:21:36schools like this in England. In Scotland the emphasis is really on

0:21:36 > 0:21:40mainstreaming those children. Our correspondent went to find out how

0:21:40 > 0:21:41that works.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45SINGING

0:21:45 > 0:21:50It is morning at this primary school in Edinburgh. The time of --

0:21:50 > 0:21:54timetable for these children in the fourth Europe by Marie is music,

0:21:54 > 0:22:02spelling, Storytime and their daily mile of exercise. UN has cerebral

0:22:02 > 0:22:06palsy and takes part in all of the classes and activities. He has

0:22:06 > 0:22:11really good friends here. -- Ewan. And he has 1-to-1 help throughout

0:22:11 > 0:22:15the school day.You spend a lot of time together? Yes. We are together

0:22:15 > 0:22:20every morning. We've been together every morning for about three years.

0:22:20 > 0:22:25He is a happy boy and he enjoys the school.In Scotland, the aim is to

0:22:25 > 0:22:31keep children with additional needs in mainstream schools. In England

0:22:31 > 0:22:34has been an increase in special schools and fewer children kept in

0:22:34 > 0:22:42mainstream ones. Ewan's mum Jane says the Scottish system has worked

0:22:42 > 0:22:46well for her son.It has given him a sense of belonging in the community

0:22:46 > 0:22:50and a sense of worth and respect. He is with his brother and sister. His

0:22:50 > 0:22:55independence has increased.And he really seems to enjoy it? Loved

0:22:55 > 0:22:59school. A quarter of children in Scotland have what's called

0:22:59 > 0:23:03additional support needs, about one in seven, there is a much broader

0:23:03 > 0:23:06definition here which includes family circumstances, health,

0:23:06 > 0:23:09disability. And although the number receiving extra help in Scotland has

0:23:09 > 0:23:13in recent years gone up, the number of specialist support teachers has

0:23:13 > 0:23:19dropped.There are certainly is a squeeze and there is pressure on the

0:23:19 > 0:23:22workforce in schools to meet the broad range of needs of their

0:23:22 > 0:23:27pupils. There is also exceptionally good practice and so it is the

0:23:27 > 0:23:30exceptionally good practice taking place that we need to really learn

0:23:30 > 0:23:35from.These mums who take their children to the yard in a play

0:23:35 > 0:23:38centre for disabled children told me their priority is the right to

0:23:38 > 0:23:42choose.I want an autism school for my son, which has the small classes

0:23:42 > 0:23:47of about six that he will get the best education because at the moment

0:23:47 > 0:23:51when he is in a mainstream environment he is depressive and he

0:23:51 > 0:23:55is overwhelmed.For our daughter it was clear that she got a lot more

0:23:55 > 0:23:57from mainstream because what they were offering was more appropriate

0:23:57 > 0:24:02to how she learns and what she wanted to learn about.The Scottish

0:24:02 > 0:24:06government says children should be schools where their needs are best

0:24:06 > 0:24:10match. Either in special schools or mainstream ones. The local school

0:24:10 > 0:24:18has worked out well for Ewan. His family wouldn't want it any other

0:24:18 > 0:24:21way.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25So some people clearly enjoying school. I want to know a little bit

0:24:25 > 0:24:30of background about the school.Tell us about the pupils you how. This is

0:24:30 > 0:24:34a school for young people, children and young people, with significant

0:24:34 > 0:24:38additional learning needs. Some students have more severe learning

0:24:38 > 0:24:42difficulties, some have a profound learning difficulty, and many have

0:24:42 > 0:24:46associated difficulties such as autism.You told me little bit

0:24:46 > 0:24:49earlier that everything is the same but a little bit different. What do

0:24:49 > 0:24:54you mean by that? Obviously we've got Fergus.We think all the time

0:24:54 > 0:24:59about what we do for each individual child in school to make it a little

0:24:59 > 0:25:02bit more unique and a little bit more personalised than he would do

0:25:02 > 0:25:05in a mainstream school and really think about the environment, the

0:25:05 > 0:25:10curriculum we offer and how we can get this tiny steps of learning to

0:25:10 > 0:25:14really build up so that all children make outstanding progress. White we

0:25:14 > 0:25:18can't ignore this young man. You look after him.Tell us about his

0:25:18 > 0:25:25job here. He is here to do what Linda wants us to do. We are guided

0:25:25 > 0:25:31very much by the teachers in terms of which students he should be with

0:25:31 > 0:25:37and he just loves his time here.And there are all sorts of different

0:25:37 > 0:25:43ways he's used?It can be as a therapy dog, as a traditional way of

0:25:43 > 0:25:47being calm and enjoying the company of the animal, and for all the

0:25:47 > 0:25:51people who have maybe fears of animals and dogs it's a way of

0:25:51 > 0:25:55ensuring that overtime they become used to that and can manage to say

0:25:55 > 0:25:59walked past it on the street, which will have a massive impact on their

0:25:59 > 0:26:02life or the life of their family. All sorts of different reasons. And

0:26:02 > 0:26:07you celebrate difference here?We celebrate difference. It is a core

0:26:07 > 0:26:13value. Different is fantastic, being unique is fantastic.And you are a

0:26:13 > 0:26:16three times outstanding school. This is no easy answer, you've got about

0:26:16 > 0:26:2320 seconds, at Howdy you do that? Hard work, teamwork, East River the

0:26:23 > 0:26:27leadership, everyone understands their role, are accountable. Good is

0:26:27 > 0:26:30never good enough and it's really important that the child is at the

0:26:30 > 0:26:35centre of every single thing we do every day, every minute.And your

0:26:35 > 0:26:40enthusiasm is literally infectious. And you so much. I know you will be

0:26:40 > 0:26:46hit throughout the morning as well. Thank you. And Fergus has

0:26:46 > 0:26:48competition. Another therapy dog will be here

0:26:48 > 0:26:52later! You are really getting a treat this morning with all of those

0:26:52 > 0:26:57lovely animals! Absolutely.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Back with Lou throughout the morning.

0:27:00 > 0:30:19Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

0:30:33 > 0:30:37but also on Breakfast this morning, as we continue to shine a light

0:30:37 > 0:30:39onto special educational needs, we'll look at the 1.4 million

0:30:39 > 0:30:42children who have speech and language difficulties -

0:30:42 > 0:30:44and ask why so many are struggling to access help.

0:31:00 > 0:31:01Sleep!

0:31:01 > 0:31:15It's one of our favourite topics here on Breakfast.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19As a suvey reveals more than half of us struggle to get enough,

0:31:19 > 0:31:21we'll get some top tips from an expert.

0:31:21 > 0:31:21Good morning.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28A former Scotland Yard detective has told BBC News he was "shocked"

0:31:28 > 0:31:30by the amount of pornography on a Parliamentary computer seized

0:31:30 > 0:31:33from the office of the First Secretary of State, Damian Green.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Neil Lewis, a computer forensics specialist,

0:31:35 > 0:31:37examined the device during an inquiry into government

0:31:37 > 0:31:38leaks in 2008.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Mr Green has vehemently denied looking at pornography at work.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44Mr Lewis, who's now retired, said he has "no doubt whatsoever"

0:31:44 > 0:31:46that the images containing legal pornographic material had been

0:31:46 > 0:31:53accessed by Mr Green.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Health inspectors have ordered a review of all NHS radiology

0:31:55 > 0:31:57services in England, after a hospital in Portsmouth

0:31:57 > 0:32:00failed to spot three cases of lung cancer.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02The investigation by the Care Quality Commission found

0:32:02 > 0:32:04that 20,000 scans had not been assessed correctly

0:32:04 > 0:32:07at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, and that junior doctors had been

0:32:07 > 0:32:09left to interpret the results without the appropriate training.

0:32:09 > 0:32:17The trust has apologised to the families affected.

0:32:17 > 0:32:21MPs scrutinising the government's Brexit plans says border controls

0:32:21 > 0:32:24between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic

0:32:24 > 0:32:26are inevitable if the UK leaves the EU single market

0:32:26 > 0:32:27and customs union.

0:32:27 > 0:32:32The Commons Brexit Committee says ministers have failed to explain how

0:32:32 > 0:32:35the issue can be resolved, and that the proposals they've come

0:32:35 > 0:32:37up with, such as the use of technology, are "untested"

0:32:37 > 0:32:38and "speculative."

0:32:38 > 0:32:42Survivors and those who lost loved ones in the Grenfell fire say

0:32:42 > 0:32:44the public inquiry into the disaster will be a whitewash -

0:32:44 > 0:32:47unless a diverse panel is appointed to oversee the proceedings.

0:32:47 > 0:32:51They are urging the Prime Minister to intervene, and say the chairman,

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Sir Martin Moore-Bick, should sit with a range of people

0:32:53 > 0:32:56who understand the issues facing those affected by the disaster.

0:32:56 > 0:33:03Andy Moore reports.

0:33:03 > 0:33:07All the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire have now been identified.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10The work to cover up the charred remains of the building is just

0:33:10 > 0:33:15beginning.Welcome to the opening session of the enquiry.There has

0:33:15 > 0:33:19been a brief formal opening of the official enquiry, led by retired

0:33:19 > 0:33:22judge Sir Martin Moore-Bick. He is due to resume again with procedural

0:33:22 > 0:33:26hearings later this month. Those who have lost loved ones say the Prime

0:33:26 > 0:33:30Minister needs to appoint a diverse panel around Sir Martin that would

0:33:30 > 0:33:33more truly represent them.Let's have openness and transparency. We

0:33:33 > 0:33:37are not asking foreign eating that is difficult. We are asking for a

0:33:37 > 0:33:41level playing field. I don't think we've got that so far.Her uncle

0:33:41 > 0:33:45died in the fire. -- is uncle. He says families may not co-operate

0:33:45 > 0:33:49with the enquiry unless they are listened to.We are the ones who

0:33:49 > 0:33:53lost families and we want a fair crack at justice and we want to be

0:33:53 > 0:33:57listened to, we don't want to be ignored. And we want a panel of

0:33:57 > 0:34:01people to be able to understand us and our concerns, and to assist with

0:34:01 > 0:34:04the judge in making the decisions and reporting back to the Prime

0:34:04 > 0:34:07Minister.The families have launched an online petition calling for the

0:34:07 > 0:34:10appointment of panel members and better legal representation at the

0:34:10 > 0:34:14enquiry. The government says Sir Martin is still deciding what expert

0:34:14 > 0:34:19help he needs, and that after that, a decision will be made about any

0:34:19 > 0:34:24possible panel. The government also says the lawyers representing the

0:34:24 > 0:34:27families will be allowed to play an active role in the proceedings.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30The Argentine navy has abandoned efforts to rescue the 44 crew

0:34:30 > 0:34:32members of a submarine that disappeared two weeks ago.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Thousands of people have been involved in the search

0:34:35 > 0:34:38for the San Juan, covering a 40,000 square kilometre area of the South

0:34:38 > 0:34:38Atlantic.

0:34:38 > 0:34:46The authorities say they will still try to locate the wreckage.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to carry out their first joint

0:34:49 > 0:34:50official visit later.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53The couple, who announced their engagement on Monday,

0:34:53 > 0:34:56will meet members of the public at a charity fair and a school

0:34:56 > 0:34:58in Nottingham later.

0:34:58 > 0:35:07They're due to get married at Windsor Castle in May.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09One other story for you this morning.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12A little girl has been reunited with her favourite cuddly toy,

0:35:12 > 0:35:14after images of it were shared around the world.

0:35:14 > 0:35:1710-year-old Eve was distraught when her stuffed Labrador,

0:35:17 > 0:35:19Basil, was lost during a trip to Canada in July.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Luckily her mother spotted him in a video, which was made

0:35:22 > 0:35:26by Glasgow Airport in a bid to track down the owners of 21 cuddly toys

0:35:26 > 0:35:28that ended up in their lost property.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31Eve says she's delighted to have Basil back, and hopes the other

0:35:31 > 0:35:46people who lost their teddies get them back too.

0:35:46 > 0:35:52I've remember my first World Cup draw.

0:35:52 > 0:35:57Once they drew Iran and Peru I was looking at the countries

0:35:57 > 0:36:02and cities. Also it was Holland but

0:36:02 > 0:36:05and cities. Also it was Holland but I knew a bit more about them. It's

0:36:05 > 0:36:09like Christmas for a lot of football fans. It's really interesting.

0:36:09 > 0:36:14Russia is the biggest country in the world, 11 different time zones.

0:36:14 > 0:36:19Incredible. So England could travel 10,000 miles if they get the worst

0:36:19 > 0:36:24draw, or 3000 if the draw is kind to them. It's not just about the teams

0:36:24 > 0:36:27they draw with. Usually we talk about altitude being

0:36:27 > 0:36:31the problem. Now it is jetlag. And also the heat in somewhere like

0:36:31 > 0:36:37Sochi. And the language problems in the far east of Russia. An

0:36:37 > 0:36:43incredible mixture of culture.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47The draw is taking place inside the famous

0:36:47 > 0:36:54Kremlin at about 3pm this afternoon. Our sports correspondent reports.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57It is Russia's moment in the spotlight. The final rehearsals for

0:36:57 > 0:37:01the World Cup draw ensuring nothing is left to chance. Some of the

0:37:01 > 0:37:06biggest names in the game as you to lend at hand to. Among them

0:37:06 > 0:37:12England's 1960s heroes who hope the current squad can make their mark

0:37:12 > 0:37:15next summer.If they can get this thing together, playing with each

0:37:15 > 0:37:19other and for each other, then there's always a chance.England

0:37:19 > 0:37:23will brace themselves in a village north of St Petersburg. The manager

0:37:23 > 0:37:27is looking forward to what lies ahead.We don't have many players

0:37:27 > 0:37:31that have won major trophies. But the future is very exciting and

0:37:31 > 0:37:37there is a great challenge for this group to see how far they can go.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41Star attractions both on and off the pitch will draw thousands of fans

0:37:41 > 0:37:45here to Russia next summer. Organisers say everyone will be

0:37:45 > 0:37:49welcome for what they say will be a festival of football, nevertheless

0:37:49 > 0:37:53the game has had problems in the recent past, specifically with

0:37:53 > 0:37:58racism and violence, but campaigners are cautiously optimistic that

0:37:58 > 0:38:02things may be improving.We've moved from a position of denial to a state

0:38:02 > 0:38:05where the Russians understand that they need to clean up the stadiums,

0:38:05 > 0:38:10deal with some of the fans who are the hard-core, otherwise people

0:38:10 > 0:38:17won't know when to come and it may come back to them in the World Cup

0:38:17 > 0:38:21will stop the David the focus is on the big draw with all the teams keen

0:38:21 > 0:38:30to discover their foot all in fate. -- foot all in fate.

0:38:30 > 0:38:34In rehearsals, England drew against Brazil twice. Let's have a look at

0:38:34 > 0:38:39what we think based on the Fifa rankings would be the best draw for

0:38:39 > 0:38:45England. Russia according to the rankings are the weakest team in the

0:38:45 > 0:38:48whole cop edition. But it has the home advantage. --

0:38:48 > 0:38:54competition. But they qualify as one of the top

0:38:54 > 0:38:58seeds because they are the host. The dream draw would be Russia, Senegal

0:38:58 > 0:39:02who aren't going through a very good time at the moment and Saudi Arabia.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06Is that based on the ones that are in theory the worst teams?

0:39:06 > 0:39:09Yes and if you got Russia you couldn't draw another European side.

0:39:09 > 0:39:14The worst laws would be Germany, the world's top team at the moment, and

0:39:14 > 0:39:20the likes of Costa Rica, knocked England out of the last World Cup,

0:39:20 > 0:39:24and Nigeria, who are going really well. That would be the worst case

0:39:24 > 0:39:28scenario. But you've got to take into account the travel as well.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31What would you prefer, to watch England play really good teams and

0:39:31 > 0:39:36this really good football, or watch them play lesser teams in terms of

0:39:36 > 0:39:40rankings and just get through? You have to go for the second,

0:39:40 > 0:39:45without a shadow of a doubt! I would love them to get Russia or Saudi

0:39:45 > 0:39:48Arabia or Senegal and get through to the knockout stage.

0:39:48 > 0:39:53I'd rather see good football. You just want your team to get

0:39:53 > 0:39:56through the first group stage. As you know, I'm no expert on foot

0:39:56 > 0:40:03all knowledge, but in line with Naga's thinking, it's not always a

0:40:03 > 0:40:07good thing to play people who are worse than you early on because your

0:40:07 > 0:40:11standards possibly drop and you start on a lower level than you

0:40:11 > 0:40:16might of the hill have played if you start against one of the big guys.

0:40:16 > 0:40:20You would probably make a much better foot all a manager than me.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24Do you will be celebrating if they draw Brazil?

0:40:24 > 0:40:29Maybe it wouldn't do them any harm. The bottomline is you've got... If

0:40:29 > 0:40:32you win everything you are all right.

0:40:32 > 0:40:41You can win the World Cup! Simples!

0:40:41 > 0:40:45Only six months ago, Sam Allardyce left Crystal Palace

0:40:45 > 0:40:48saying he had no ambition to take another job in football management.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51But he's signed an 18 month deal to take over at Everton.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54He says he is "enthused and energised" and that the ambition

0:40:54 > 0:40:57of the club was key to him taking the job.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00There's been a big blow for England overnight,

0:41:00 > 0:41:02with the Rugby League World Cup final little more than

0:41:02 > 0:41:0424 hours away.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08England captain Sean O'Loughlin has been ruled out with a thigh strain.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10That means Sam Burgess will lead the side.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13He captained England in last year's Four Nations series and assistant

0:41:13 > 0:41:16coach Dennis Betts said Burgess was a "doer" and a "leader"

0:41:16 > 0:41:22and the natural replacement.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Britain's Paralympic champion Gordon Reid can still reach

0:41:24 > 0:41:26the semi-finals of the Wheelchair Tennis Masters

0:41:26 > 0:41:28in Loughbrough, after winning his second pool match.

0:41:28 > 0:41:32He came from a set down to beat Nicolas Peifer.

0:41:32 > 0:41:38Andy Lapthorne also won to qualify for the semi-finals.

0:41:38 > 0:41:41Tiger

0:41:43 > 0:41:46-- Tiger Woods said he thought he "did great" in his latest

0:41:46 > 0:41:47comeback to competitive golf.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51He's been out since February after more back surgery and he shot

0:41:51 > 0:41:55a three under par 69 in the first round of the Hero World Challenge

0:41:55 > 0:41:55in the Bahamas.

0:41:55 > 0:41:56in the Bahamas.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58He's just three behind the clubhouse leader

0:41:58 > 0:41:59England's Tommy Fleetwood.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02And finally to the Freestyle Canoe World Championships in Argentina

0:42:02 > 0:42:04this week, where Great Britain's canoeists have been flipping

0:42:04 > 0:42:05their way onto the podium.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08The sport is described as gymnastics in a boat,

0:42:08 > 0:42:10with paddlers performing as many tricks, spins and somersaults

0:42:10 > 0:42:15as they can within their timed run and bonus points are awarded

0:42:15 > 0:42:18if they can get their boat completely out of the water.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Great Britain have picked up three medals so far,

0:42:21 > 0:42:23with Claire O'Hara winning her ninth freestyle world title.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26The event continues over the weekend.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28it's like being in the washing machine.

0:42:28 > 0:42:33Amazing. Take a deep breath!

0:42:33 > 0:42:40I was getting all nostalgic. I can almost smell the dust.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44It's a good insight into your music taste, because these are yours.

0:42:44 > 0:42:51I think people's collections are not necessarily their taste. They can be

0:42:51 > 0:43:00their families'... This was a recent charity purchase.

0:43:00 > 0:43:07The Beach Boys is mine. This was inherited. Anyway, the story, why

0:43:07 > 0:43:13have we got a load of vinyl? Is that who you model yourself on?

0:43:13 > 0:43:19You model yourself on Bobby Darren. We've figured it out!

0:43:19 > 0:43:25Why are we talking about vinyl? It's a good question. Sales are up, but

0:43:25 > 0:43:29we've been saying that year after year and they are still up. We are

0:43:29 > 0:43:35on course this year to buy 1 million LPs in December, which would take us

0:43:35 > 0:43:40to 4 million over the year. That would be up more than a third on

0:43:40 > 0:43:462016. Sewage you go back to 4 million this year, in 2007 we were

0:43:46 > 0:43:50buying about 200,000 a year. So once we start talking about that revival

0:43:50 > 0:43:56it really escalates. It's not just buying older artists

0:43:56 > 0:44:00as well, artist in bygone eras, because they are all new albums.Up

0:44:00 > 0:44:07until a couple of years ago, I should say it is still a very small

0:44:07 > 0:44:16part of the market. 2.6%. But loads of people are still streaming. But

0:44:16 > 0:44:23that's streaming has made people like Ed Sheeran and the Arctic

0:44:23 > 0:44:29Monkeys and people like Adele become the top-selling vinyls. 70 people

0:44:29 > 0:44:38who were streaming are starting to buy vinyl as well. Nearly half of

0:44:38 > 0:44:48the vinyls, people say half of the people who buy them, buy them.It's

0:44:48 > 0:44:54just that. There is an album on that. Which way

0:44:54 > 0:45:01is he going?Charlie's Christmas Crooners.

0:45:01 > 0:45:07Beautiful. Arguing control of your mobile disco?

0:45:07 > 0:45:15As we saw them, no is the answer. Shall we try again later?We can

0:45:15 > 0:45:20give it a good go.It's almost like I was interested in what you were

0:45:20 > 0:45:26saying, wasn't it?It's a good story!Let's talk about the weather.

0:45:26 > 0:45:32It has got pretty cold. Yesterday parts of the UK saw first snowfalls.

0:45:32 > 0:45:36But is dropped to -8 in some parts of the country and these are some of

0:45:36 > 0:45:43the images that we've seen across the last 24 hours or so. Some pretty

0:45:43 > 0:45:47grim conditions in some places. Be careful out on the roads today.

0:45:47 > 0:45:55Many people are experiencing ice on the roads. In Brighton this is an

0:45:55 > 0:45:58ice rink and it is it meet weather. Good morning! Good morning.

0:45:58 > 0:46:01ice rink and it is it meet weather. Good morning! Good morning. Welcome

0:46:01 > 0:46:06to brighten's Royal Pavilion. Professional ice skaters. I've been

0:46:06 > 0:46:12practising all year but still need a bit of help. I've got my friend

0:46:12 > 0:46:18Snowy. It is the first day of the meteorological winter in the UK. A

0:46:18 > 0:46:22slight change on the way as well. If you take a look at the forecast,

0:46:22 > 0:46:26things are set to get milder through the coming days and temperatures are

0:46:26 > 0:46:35on the rise. Also turning cloudy. The first changes to the northern

0:46:35 > 0:46:42areas of Scotland. The rest of Scotland, clear and icy. But a sunny

0:46:42 > 0:46:51start. In the east of England a couple of snow flurries. It's all

0:46:51 > 0:46:55turning patchy rain as temperatures lift. Still a chilly winter towards

0:46:55 > 0:47:00East Anglia and the south-east, where we again have some rain and

0:47:00 > 0:47:03sleet showers during rush-hour. The west not as many showers in western

0:47:03 > 0:47:08parts Wales. A couple of isolated ones. Rest of England and Wales, a

0:47:08 > 0:47:12lovely and crisp start to Friday morning. Sunshine overhead, a frost

0:47:12 > 0:47:17on the ground. The same to Northern Ireland, where temperatures dropped

0:47:17 > 0:47:22to minus for the night. A sunny start. There will be changes

0:47:22 > 0:47:27throughout the day. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and later northern

0:47:27 > 0:47:31England it will turn cloudy. A bit of patchy rain. Temperatures on the

0:47:31 > 0:47:36rise. Showers in eastern England are confined to East Anglia. Most will

0:47:36 > 0:47:40have a dry and reasonably sunny afternoon and it is still cold.

0:47:40 > 0:47:44Temperatures around 3- eight degrees for many, but it will start to feel

0:47:44 > 0:47:49a little less colder than yesterday. Through the night we will start to

0:47:49 > 0:47:52see cloud in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north of

0:47:52 > 0:47:57England. With it a bit of patchy rain. The chance of icy conditions.

0:47:57 > 0:48:05That is to take us into Saturday morning. It will be a frosty start.

0:48:05 > 0:48:10Frost mainly where there are cloud breaks to the east of high ground

0:48:10 > 0:48:13and the far south of England. A chilly day still in England

0:48:13 > 0:48:19tomorrow. The warmer air will take longer to get here. Patchy rain in

0:48:19 > 0:48:23southern parts of the Glen and Wales and to the north of Scotland. In

0:48:23 > 0:48:28between a lot of dry weather. A few cloud breaks. Notice the

0:48:28 > 0:48:31temperatures. Potentially up to double figures in the north of

0:48:31 > 0:48:35Scotland. Still a touch on the chilly side in eastern England. In

0:48:35 > 0:48:39the Sunday the milder air is with all of us. Temperatures at or above

0:48:39 > 0:48:45they should be. Quite a lot of cloud again in the west, with patchy rain,

0:48:45 > 0:48:50but most places will be dry. Brighter on Sunday. Sunnier in the

0:48:50 > 0:48:56east. The slightly milder conditions will remain in the next week as

0:48:56 > 0:48:59well. Back to you.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01will remain in the next week as well. Back to you.

0:49:01 > 0:49:05They are known as hidden disabilities and they affect 1.4

0:49:05 > 0:49:08million children across the UK.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10As our series into special educational needs continues,

0:49:10 > 0:49:13today we're looking at speech, language and communication needs.

0:49:13 > 0:49:17Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been investigating the issue.

0:49:17 > 0:49:22Explained the room you are in. This is specifically designed to help

0:49:22 > 0:49:26people who have those kinds of issues with communications?This is

0:49:26 > 0:49:32kind of a full immersive experience. We are in the rainforest. We are

0:49:32 > 0:49:41transported. What can we hear? The rain tinkling through the leaves.

0:49:41 > 0:49:47Back ground song.And this brings all of your geography lessons to

0:49:47 > 0:49:50life. Give away if to everybody. I know you have lots of family

0:49:50 > 0:49:58watching. Hello, mum and dad. Hit the blue beam. This is how immersive

0:49:58 > 0:50:05it is. Watch this. We did that before. He nearly fell off his

0:50:05 > 0:50:12chair. More on this in a minute. 1.4 million kids... Are you OK? 1.4

0:50:12 > 0:50:17million kids, two to three in every class, have speech, language and

0:50:17 > 0:50:22communication problems. The question is, are they getting the help they

0:50:22 > 0:50:26need? Report out today says they are not. That report is from the royal

0:50:26 > 0:50:30college of speech and language therapist and the communication

0:50:30 > 0:50:34charity that gave us exclusive access to these new figures that is

0:50:34 > 0:50:39a problem out there and it needs fixing. Have a look at this.

0:50:39 > 0:50:43Harry is happy and helpful but with profound orders and he struggles to

0:50:43 > 0:50:47communicate. Despite being twice assessed as having a problem, he has

0:50:47 > 0:50:51never been under the treatment of an NHS speech and language therapist.

0:50:51 > 0:50:57You have pushed and pushed, haven't you?Pushed and pushed. We have a

0:50:57 > 0:51:00multiagency meeting every 12 weeks for Harry. Each time we've attended

0:51:00 > 0:51:06there is never a speech therapist, whereas a speech therapist... The

0:51:06 > 0:51:13same thing as happened for 18 months.Rather than therapy for

0:51:13 > 0:51:18Harry the NHS has offered training, which they tell me can be very

0:51:18 > 0:51:22beneficial.She now pays for private therapy. IMing a good position

0:51:22 > 0:51:31because I can do that but a lot of say it's-- they can't. Here in

0:51:31 > 0:51:34Birmingham they also feel badly let down. As class starts the teacher

0:51:34 > 0:51:39tries to hold their attention. A bit more interested in our camera. Most

0:51:39 > 0:51:45are eventually able to follow the song and joining the action is. But

0:51:45 > 0:51:51some really struggle. Not just to speak but to pay attention, to

0:51:51 > 0:51:55understand and follow instruction, all part of a speech, language and

0:51:55 > 0:51:59communication needs.It's frustrating for us because we get

0:51:59 > 0:52:02children that almost feel they've been written off because sometimes

0:52:02 > 0:52:05parents have already noticed there is a problem and they've tried to

0:52:05 > 0:52:10get help, they've gone and nothing has happened.This is why the school

0:52:10 > 0:52:16brought in Diana. She was part of a speech and language team in the NHS

0:52:16 > 0:52:20before being laid off with a number of colleagues five years ago.

0:52:20 > 0:52:23Developing speech and language in children is in the target, like

0:52:23 > 0:52:27cancer or heart or diabetes.If you do get the speech and language

0:52:27 > 0:52:33right, what else goes wrong?You don't learn to read and write.Ten

0:52:33 > 0:52:36years ago, the government commissioned a report which flagged

0:52:36 > 0:52:44problems here and led to promises to deliver better services for children

0:52:44 > 0:52:50is like this. The Department of Health says there are around 160

0:52:50 > 0:52:53more therapies today and the government has an extra 2 million

0:52:53 > 0:53:00into therapy. But look at this from a recent Ofsted and QC due report.

0:53:04 > 0:53:09Today a new survey finds only 15% of parents and therapist believe there

0:53:09 > 0:53:12are enough services in their area. They say this will have

0:53:12 > 0:53:17consequences.Data shows that over 60% at least have communication

0:53:17 > 0:53:20difficulties in the youth justice system, but made any vulnerable

0:53:20 > 0:53:27group of children, children with mental health issues, children that

0:53:27 > 0:53:31are excluded or on the fringe of the excluded, and the youth justice

0:53:31 > 0:53:35system, the majority have communication difficulties.

0:53:35 > 0:53:38Communication underpins everything, from reading and writing to making

0:53:38 > 0:53:45friends and making a future. Get it wrong and many kids will flounder.

0:53:45 > 0:53:50We know resources on the NHS are stressed and there is an increased

0:53:50 > 0:53:53demand across the board and a problem recruiting. Let's chat to

0:53:53 > 0:53:58the kids. Thank you so much for waking up so early to talk to us.

0:53:58 > 0:54:05What time will you up this morning? 5:47am.What time do you normally

0:54:05 > 0:54:12wake up?Seven a.m..A big thanks for doing this. Tell me what you

0:54:12 > 0:54:17love doing and learning about in this room, Sophie?I love learning

0:54:17 > 0:54:26about the forest and everything.Did you learn about the tribe that

0:54:26 > 0:54:30hugged the trees to try and save them?Yeah.Can you imagine doing

0:54:30 > 0:54:35that? What about you, Charles?Its interactive and fun.What's your

0:54:35 > 0:54:48favourite subject at school?Maths. You are -- are you very good at it?

0:54:48 > 0:54:55Yes.Rachel, thank you for letting us in this morning. So good to speak

0:54:55 > 0:55:00to you. What are the kids working towards? Hywel is the education here

0:55:00 > 0:55:04different to education in the mainstream? -- how we as.We cover

0:55:04 > 0:55:07all the same subjects. We have science, history, citizenship,

0:55:07 > 0:55:13everything. What happens when they go to stage four is they work

0:55:13 > 0:55:17towards their entry-level GCSEs and other core vocations. No child

0:55:17 > 0:55:20leaves the school without the next Debby Miller being sought out for

0:55:20 > 0:55:24them, whether that be an internship, employment or going on to college.

0:55:24 > 0:55:32-- the next step for them.And the aim is to foster lots of

0:55:32 > 0:55:36independence?I think we need to remember that our students have the

0:55:36 > 0:55:41same aspirations as other students, to go on and live independent and

0:55:41 > 0:55:45fulfilling lives in the work force and to achieve the goals they set

0:55:45 > 0:55:50for themselves.William. We'll chat more later -- brilliant. You all had

0:55:50 > 0:55:56a sleepover last night here. What did you have to eat?McDonalds.Are

0:55:56 > 0:56:02you going to make a first formulated?No.Sophie! You let me

0:56:02 > 0:56:08down! Back to you. No breakfast for you!

0:56:08 > 0:56:15They are going to starve me! Thanks. We will see Lou later as

0:56:15 > 0:56:21well. She loved that Irish wolfhound, Fergus. She will have

0:56:21 > 0:56:27another therapy dog with her later. Josh, the great dane. They will talk

0:56:27 > 0:56:31about how they are helping the children interact, be more calm and

0:56:31 > 0:56:34where of animals and how to react to animals.

0:56:34 > 0:56:38Very much in keeping with the coverage this week, looking at the

0:56:38 > 0:56:41problems people are facing and also the success stories, people who have

0:56:41 > 1:00:02achieved amazing things and overcome real problems.

1:00:02 > 1:00:04I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

1:00:04 > 1:00:06in half an hour.

1:00:06 > 1:00:08Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

1:00:08 > 1:00:11Bye for now.

1:00:11 > 1:00:13Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

1:00:13 > 1:00:14Munchetty.

1:00:14 > 1:00:17A former Scotland Yard detective tells the BBC he was shocked

1:00:17 > 1:00:21by the amount of pornography viewed on a computer seized from the office

1:00:21 > 1:00:26of the First Secretary of State, Damian Green.

1:00:26 > 1:00:29The technology specialist says thousands of images containing legal

1:00:29 > 1:00:31pornographic material were on a device in his

1:00:42 > 1:00:53Also this morning:

1:00:53 > 1:00:56Concern that untrained staff have been left to check x-rays in NHS

1:00:56 > 1:00:58in NHS hospitals.

1:01:06 > 1:01:11their plans to marry.

1:01:11 > 1:01:19For the end of our amazing series on special educational needs, we are at

1:01:19 > 1:01:22Piper Hill High in Manchester, where they are ready for Christmas. We've

1:01:22 > 1:01:25been given unique access to this outstanding special school this

1:01:25 > 1:01:29morning. With me is the head teacher and Wendy and Fergus. Good morning.

1:01:29 > 1:01:31I know

1:01:34 > 1:01:40you read to him? Presence to Mum.We have been preparing everybody. We've

1:01:40 > 1:01:44been asking the questions as though he were really here. What do you

1:01:44 > 1:01:52like about Fergus?I like touching him.You like stroking him.Amazing.

1:01:52 > 1:01:56Wonderful to see Fergus and throughout the morning we will see

1:01:56 > 1:02:00that everything in this school is the same, but just a little bit

1:02:00 > 1:02:04different.As it is in the kitchen. Good morning! This is where everyone

1:02:04 > 1:02:09learns about leaving an independent life, and to do that you need

1:02:13 > 1:02:16children are getting the help they need to deal with communication

1:02:16 > 1:02:21problems. More later.The Royal Bank of Scotland has announced it will

1:02:38 > 1:02:44play Brazil, Argentina or Germany. And over to the weather.

1:02:44 > 1:02:51Good morning.It is the start of the meteorological winter, so I've come

1:02:51 > 1:02:55to the Royal Pavilion in Brighton to get into the mood. After a frosty

1:02:55 > 1:02:59and icy start to Friday it is set to get milder. The forecast coming up

1:02:59 > 1:03:04in 15 minutes.The forecast on ice skates, who could want more?

1:03:04 > 1:03:05Good morning, first our main story.

1:03:05 > 1:03:09A former Scotland Yard detective has told BBC News he was shocked

1:03:09 > 1:03:11by the amount of pornography on a Parliamentary computer seized

1:03:11 > 1:03:14from the office of the First Secretary of State, Damian Green.

1:03:14 > 1:03:17Neil Lewis examined the device during an inquiry into government

1:03:17 > 1:03:21leaks in 2008.

1:03:21 > 1:03:26Mr Green has vehemently denied looking at pornography at work.

1:03:26 > 1:03:30Mr Lewis, a retired computer forensics specialist,

1:03:30 > 1:03:34who hasn't spoken out before said analysis of the way the computer had

1:03:34 > 1:03:37been used left him in "no doubt whatsoever" that the material had

1:03:37 > 1:03:38been accessed by Mr Green.

1:03:38 > 1:03:41He's Theresa May's oldest and most trusted political ally.

1:03:41 > 1:03:45But now Damian Green is facing a battle for political

1:03:45 > 1:03:48survival, amid claims he viewed pornography on his work computer.

1:03:48 > 1:03:50Mr Green has vehemently denied the allegations.

1:03:50 > 1:03:56I had an exemplary record.

1:03:56 > 1:04:00But now the detective who examined the device has given me his account.

1:04:00 > 1:04:03The shocking thing was that, as I was viewing it,

1:04:03 > 1:04:05I noticed a lot of pornography thumbnails, which indicated web

1:04:05 > 1:04:09browsing.

1:04:09 > 1:04:12But a lot, there was a lot of them.

1:04:12 > 1:04:19So I was surprised to see that on a parliamentary computer.

1:04:19 > 1:04:28How many images did you see?

1:04:28 > 1:04:29Thousands.

1:04:29 > 1:04:32Thousands of pornographic images?

1:04:32 > 1:04:37Thumbnail images.

1:04:37 > 1:04:39The computer had been seized in 2008 after police

1:04:39 > 1:04:40raided Damian Green's offices.

1:04:40 > 1:04:43The MP, then in opposition, was the subject of an unrelated

1:04:43 > 1:04:45enquiry into Home Office leaks.

1:04:45 > 1:04:46He was never charged.

1:04:46 > 1:04:48How can you be sure it was Damian Green

1:04:48 > 1:04:53who was accessing the pornography?

1:04:53 > 1:04:57There is a phrase, you can't put fingers on a keyboard.

1:04:57 > 1:04:58So I can't say that.

1:04:58 > 1:05:01But the computer was in Mr Green's office, on his desk.

1:05:01 > 1:05:03Logged in, his account, his name.

1:05:03 > 1:05:04In between browsing pornography he was sending

1:05:04 > 1:05:14emails from his account, his personal account.

1:05:14 > 1:05:16Reading documents, writing documents.

1:05:16 > 1:05:21The Cabinet office is examining the pornography

1:05:21 > 1:05:24claims as part of a wider enquiry into Mr Green's conduct.

1:05:24 > 1:05:27But Neil Lewis has not been asked to give

1:05:27 > 1:05:27evidence.

1:05:27 > 1:05:34A spokesperson for Damian Green said it would the inappropriate

1:05:34 > 1:05:36for Mr Green to comment while the Cabinet office

1:05:36 > 1:05:47investigation was continuing.

1:05:47 > 1:05:49However, the spokesperson said that Damian Green had:

1:05:49 > 1:05:55Mr Green maintains his innocence.

1:05:55 > 1:06:00We can speak now to our political correspondent, Iain Watson. I

1:06:00 > 1:06:04understand you have more on some of what is coming out from Damian

1:06:04 > 1:06:10Green's side, we saw the statement a moment ago?Yes, effectively, Damian

1:06:10 > 1:06:13Green is not commenting on tour this Cabinet office enquiry, this

1:06:13 > 1:06:18Whitehall enquiry into his conduct, actually reports. But friends of his

1:06:18 > 1:06:21are speaking this morning and they are saying to make things,

1:06:21 > 1:06:26fundamentally. First of all, they are gobsmacked that senior police

1:06:26 > 1:06:30officers, former police officers, are putting into the public domain

1:06:30 > 1:06:33confidential information which was obtained by undertaking a completely

1:06:33 > 1:06:38separate enquiry, not an enquiry into pornography. They believe they

1:06:38 > 1:06:40have breached a duty of confidentiality and they believe

1:06:40 > 1:06:46there is a campaign to get Damian Green. Secondly, as far as I

1:06:46 > 1:06:50understand it, until that enquiry reports, I have been told that

1:06:50 > 1:06:53despite the new allegations this morning and the interview with Neil

1:06:53 > 1:06:57Lewis, who examined that computer, Damian Green is minded to stay in

1:06:57 > 1:07:01office. He is not going to fall on his sword simply because of these

1:07:01 > 1:07:05new allegations. And as we heard, officially, he will deny all of the

1:07:05 > 1:07:10allegations put to him. But also, his friends are saying, look, even

1:07:10 > 1:07:14the police admit that anything that was found was legal. It didn't break

1:07:14 > 1:07:17the law. So they are saying, do not expect their ministerial

1:07:17 > 1:07:22resignation. They want the focus to shift back onto the police and the

1:07:22 > 1:07:25motivation those police officers, putting this into the public domain

1:07:25 > 1:07:33in the first place.Health inspectors have ordered a review of

1:07:33 > 1:07:35all NHS radiology services in England after a hospital in

1:07:35 > 1:07:39Portsmouth failed to spot three cases of lung cancer. An

1:07:39 > 1:07:42investigation by the Care Quality Commission found 20,000 scans had

1:07:42 > 1:07:46not been assessed correctly at the Queen Alexandra Hospital and junior

1:07:46 > 1:07:48doctors were left to interpret the results without the appropriate

1:07:48 > 1:07:54training. The trust has apologised to the families affected.

1:07:54 > 1:07:56MPs scrutinising the government's Brexit plans says border controls

1:07:56 > 1:07:58between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic

1:07:58 > 1:08:01are inevitable if the UK leaves the EU single market

1:08:01 > 1:08:02and customs union.

1:08:02 > 1:08:05The Commons Brexit Committee says ministers have failed to explain how

1:08:05 > 1:08:08the issue can be resolved, and that the proposals they've come

1:08:08 > 1:08:10up with - such as the use of technology -

1:08:10 > 1:08:12are "untested" and "speculative."

1:08:12 > 1:08:15The Argentine navy has abandoned efforts to rescue the 44 crew

1:08:15 > 1:08:18members of a submarine that disappeared two weeks ago.

1:08:18 > 1:08:20Thousands of people have been involved in the search

1:08:20 > 1:08:24for the San Juan, covering a 40,000 square kilometre area of the South

1:08:24 > 1:08:24Atlantic.

1:08:24 > 1:08:34The authorities say they will still try to locate the wreckage.

1:08:34 > 1:08:37In breaking news this morning, news about the Royal Bank of Scotland,

1:08:37 > 1:08:42announcing it is closing 259 of its branches. Sean has been looking at

1:08:42 > 1:08:46the details.Yes, they have come through in the last few minutes.

1:08:46 > 1:08:50There is a bit of a breakdown between 60 to RBS branches and 197

1:08:50 > 1:08:55NatWest branches, with RBS owning NatWest. We do not have exact

1:08:55 > 1:08:58details of those locations were, across the country, they have been

1:08:58 > 1:09:02closed yet. There is no stopping them branch closures stories. We

1:09:02 > 1:09:06heard the day before yesterday, Lloyds bank closing some branches

1:09:06 > 1:09:09around the country as well. Monkhorst around 800 range closures

1:09:09 > 1:09:17around the country. -- on course for around 800 branch closures. More and

1:09:17 > 1:09:21more, customers are using everyday banking online or on mobile. 40%

1:09:21 > 1:09:26fewer customers are using branches. And actually, mobile transactions of

1:09:26 > 1:09:30whatever it is people are doing online have increased a 73% since to

1:09:30 > 1:09:3614. So in the last three years they have nearly doubled the amount of

1:09:36 > 1:09:40transactions that customers are doing on their mobile phones.The

1:09:40 > 1:09:43concerns about all of this, it is always about our communities are

1:09:43 > 1:09:47affected when banks close down, and where they can afford to lose these

1:09:47 > 1:09:53doubling up of branches if they have done. So, the city, kind of, that

1:09:53 > 1:09:58perhaps absorbs those forces better than smaller areas?Yes. Definitely.

1:09:58 > 1:10:02Urban areas, you are going to be more likely to have a branch to go

1:10:02 > 1:10:06to. The Post Office has tried to take over a lot of those services.

1:10:06 > 1:10:10If you are in a small village and you have a post office, the chances

1:10:10 > 1:10:14are that you will be able to deposit money into your bank account through

1:10:14 > 1:10:18a post office and use lots of the service is there. But there is now a

1:10:18 > 1:10:21question around how many villagers have post offices.It will be

1:10:21 > 1:10:24interesting, we have heard so much about closures, if you actually see

1:10:24 > 1:10:30a shift in accounts because people value banks.And of course those 680

1:10:30 > 1:10:32potential redundancies, alongside these bank closures as well. Which

1:10:32 > 1:10:37staff have been informed about. Sean, thank you.The time now is

1:10:37 > 1:10:427:10am. All this week on the Breakfast we have been discussing

1:10:42 > 1:10:46special educational needs, looking at the challenges faced by disabled

1:10:46 > 1:10:49children and their families. Thank you for getting in touch with us.

1:10:49 > 1:10:53You have told as many of your personal, powerful stories, and have

1:10:53 > 1:10:55spoken about your tales of struggling. But there have been

1:10:55 > 1:10:59positive stories as well, stories of hope and success. Today, Louise is

1:10:59 > 1:11:03spending the morning at a special school in Manchester, seeing how

1:11:03 > 1:11:06teachers then make sure that every child fulfil their potential. You

1:11:06 > 1:11:13are next to the swimming pool now? Good morning. Yes, you know that if

1:11:13 > 1:11:17there is a swimming pool I am virtually in it, as you can see.

1:11:17 > 1:11:24This is an amazing school. It is a special school, Piper Hill High in

1:11:24 > 1:11:27Manchester. We are here all morning, getting amazing access to what they

1:11:27 > 1:11:30are doing with children here. We know from our own research on Has

1:11:30 > 1:11:34this week, and thank you to so many people who have gotten in touch,

1:11:34 > 1:11:38that many parents are trying to get their kids into schools like this in

1:11:38 > 1:11:41England. You can see this morning what kind of difference that can

1:11:41 > 1:11:45make to some children. That is what we've been studying this morning.

1:11:45 > 1:11:49Amazing to see the work that is going on. One of the things we have

1:11:49 > 1:11:53in asking is, what about mainstream education? Is an emphasis on that in

1:11:53 > 1:11:56Scotland in particular. Lorna Gordon has been to investigate how that

1:11:56 > 1:12:03works there.

1:12:03 > 1:12:08# Park the angels sing...It is morning at Juniper Hill primer

1:12:08 > 1:12:11school in Edinburgh. On the timetable for these children in

1:12:11 > 1:12:14their fourth year, music, spelling and Storytime. And their daily mile

1:12:14 > 1:12:22of exercise. Ewan, who has cerebral palsy, takes part in all the classes

1:12:22 > 1:12:26and activities. He has really good friends here. What is a name? That's

1:12:26 > 1:12:31Phoebe? And he has 1-to-1 help throughout the school day. You and

1:12:31 > 1:12:36you spend a lot of time together?We are together quite a lot, every

1:12:36 > 1:12:40morning, forever three years now. He is a happy wee boy. He enjoys

1:12:40 > 1:12:45himself at school.In Scotland, the aim is to keep children with

1:12:45 > 1:12:48additional support needs in mainstream schools. In England,

1:12:48 > 1:12:52there has been an increase in special schools and fewer children

1:12:52 > 1:12:58kept in mainstream ones. UN's mother Jane says these cottage system has

1:12:58 > 1:13:03worked well for her sun. -- of the Scottish system.It has given him a

1:13:03 > 1:13:07sense of belonging to his community, a sense of worth and respect. He is

1:13:07 > 1:13:10with his brother and sister. His independence has increased.And he

1:13:10 > 1:13:15seems to really enjoy it.He loved school.A quarter of children in

1:13:15 > 1:13:18Scotland have what is called here additional support needs. In

1:13:18 > 1:13:23England, one in seven. But there is a broader definition here, which

1:13:23 > 1:13:26includes family circumstances, health, disability, and though the

1:13:26 > 1:13:29number receiving extra help in Scotland has in recent years gone

1:13:29 > 1:13:33up, the number of special support teachers has dropped.There is

1:13:33 > 1:13:38absolutely a squeeze. There is pressure on the workforce in the

1:13:38 > 1:13:42schools, to meet the broad range of needs of people 's. But there is

1:13:42 > 1:13:46also exceptionally good practice. Exceptionally good practice taking

1:13:46 > 1:13:51place which we need to really learn from.These mothers, who take their

1:13:51 > 1:13:56children to be yard and adventure play centre for their children, say

1:13:56 > 1:14:00that their priority is the right to choose.I want an autism school for

1:14:00 > 1:14:05my son, which has a small classes of about six, so he will get the best

1:14:05 > 1:14:08education. At the moment he is in the mainstream environment. He is

1:14:08 > 1:14:12depressive. He is overwhelmed.For our daughter, it was clear that she

1:14:12 > 1:14:17got a lot more from mainstream, because what they were offering was

1:14:17 > 1:14:22appropriate to how she learns and what she wants to learn about.The

1:14:22 > 1:14:25Scottish government says children should be school where their needs

1:14:25 > 1:14:28are best met, either in special schools in mainstream ones. The

1:14:28 > 1:14:32local school has worked out well for you and. His family would not want

1:14:32 > 1:14:37it any other way.

1:14:40 > 1:14:47Lovely to see Ewan enjoying school. It is Connor, who is swimming with

1:14:47 > 1:14:55his teacher. Also Rowan. We are in the therapy school pool. Adam, can I

1:14:55 > 1:15:02interrupt with a second? We say about this school that everything is

1:15:02 > 1:15:05the same but a little bit different and this is a really key

1:15:05 > 1:15:09illustration of that. Tell us a bit about this room and this pool.It's

1:15:09 > 1:15:15brilliant. It is a therapy pool, so it's really warm. All our students

1:15:15 > 1:15:17get different benefits. Some students get benefits for their

1:15:17 > 1:15:26muscles and joints. Other students like Connor and Rowan, we work on

1:15:26 > 1:15:29basic swimming skills and confidence skills, getting them used to the

1:15:29 > 1:15:36water and comfortable. Obviously it's a really sensory environment

1:15:36 > 1:15:40for them as well. They all absolutely love it and the staff

1:15:40 > 1:15:47enjoy it. It's a really good experience for everybody. A perfect

1:15:47 > 1:15:50environment for us to work towards the swimming targets and

1:15:50 > 1:15:54communication targets and physiotherapy targets.Of course

1:15:54 > 1:15:59winning is a really important life skill, isn't it? -- swimming.It is.

1:15:59 > 1:16:04I'm very keen swimmer as well. It is important that students are

1:16:04 > 1:16:07comfortable in the water and developing these basic skills, so

1:16:07 > 1:16:12that they can even just access pools outside the school and enjoy

1:16:12 > 1:16:17themselves in local facilities and things as well.I am a really keen

1:16:17 > 1:16:29swimmer and pools... Rowan, it is lovely to see you, Rowan. I was just

1:16:29 > 1:16:33saying that pools can in some ways be quite intimidating places, so

1:16:33 > 1:16:36presumably that's another reason why they are here getting used to the

1:16:36 > 1:16:42environment?Absolutely. And by getting used to this environment we

1:16:42 > 1:16:46can often take them out of school, some of the more independent

1:16:46 > 1:16:50learners do well go into the local pool fulsome in lessons as well. So

1:16:50 > 1:16:54there's a really good slimming programme across the school --

1:16:54 > 1:17:00swimming.You talked a bit about the physiotherapy. That is presumably an

1:17:00 > 1:17:05important part of the school as well?Very important. The physios

1:17:05 > 1:17:11worked with the school and they set targets and, like I said before,

1:17:11 > 1:17:15this is the perfect sensory environment. There's the heat for

1:17:15 > 1:17:19the muscles, so they can achieve those physio targets.And it's great

1:17:19 > 1:17:25fun. It's been lovely watching you. I'll let you get on with it. We are

1:17:25 > 1:17:28here all morning and this really is an extraordinary school. It's

1:17:28 > 1:17:33wonderful to see what's going on. We've been really touched by the

1:17:33 > 1:17:38many messages you've sent us. Do keep in touch this morning.

1:17:38 > 1:17:43Hopefully we can answer some of your questions as well.

1:17:43 > 1:17:47Thanks very much. Lovely hearing those stories. And it is very much

1:17:47 > 1:17:54concentrating throughout the week on some of the success stories, because

1:17:54 > 1:17:58huge impacts can be made on young people in particular.

1:17:58 > 1:18:02Very encouraging, knowing that 40% of all children at some point in

1:18:02 > 1:18:07their lives will need some kind of educational needs. You can still get

1:18:07 > 1:18:19in touch, as Lou said. E-mail us or Twitter as using the hashtag BBC

1:18:19 > 1:18:20send.

1:18:20 > 1:18:24Matt's in Brighton with the weather.

1:18:24 > 1:18:30He is reflecting on the weather. He has been skating!

1:18:30 > 1:18:34Brilliant! I taught them everything I knew.

1:18:34 > 1:18:42Thank you very much. It is my annual jaunt on the ice, which happens once

1:18:42 > 1:18:44a year, and of course it had to be at

1:18:44 > 1:18:46a year, and of course it had to be at the start of the meteorological

1:18:46 > 1:18:51winter, which is today. It is a cold start, but it has become a little

1:18:51 > 1:18:56less cold over the next few days. I am in Brighton at the Royal

1:18:56 > 1:19:02Pavilion. Ice rinks are popping up UK wide at the moment and this one

1:19:02 > 1:19:07is here until the 14th of January. We've had a bit of rain this morning

1:19:07 > 1:19:11and that's a sign that things are starting to change. Let's take a

1:19:11 > 1:19:14look at the forecast. This weekend it is set to turn cloudy and a

1:19:14 > 1:19:20little bit milder. Not as chilly as the last few days. We start with a

1:19:20 > 1:19:23lot of cloud to the north of Scotland. Rain temperatures lifting

1:19:23 > 1:19:31already. A frosty start for the rest of Scotland. East of the Pennines

1:19:31 > 1:19:34and down across eastern England, still a few showers around. Ice to

1:19:34 > 1:19:39watch out for, first thing after yesterday's snow. Sleet and snow

1:19:39 > 1:19:43mixed in with the showers, mainly over the hills. Mostly turning back

1:19:43 > 1:19:49to rain now. Still windy towards East Anglia and the south-east. The

1:19:49 > 1:19:53western half of England and Wales, a different story altogether. Just a

1:19:53 > 1:19:59couple of isolated showers. Most start the David Frost on the ground.

1:19:59 > 1:20:04A fine day for many, with winds than yesterday. A sunny start in Northern

1:20:04 > 1:20:08Ireland as well, where temperatures dropped below -4 overnight. In the

1:20:08 > 1:20:13sunshine it is set to turn cloudy. Still cool, even with the cloud and

1:20:13 > 1:20:18patchy rain pushing on. In Northern Ireland and Scotland, cloudy

1:20:18 > 1:20:23conditions moving down. Being a bit of rain here and there. Still a lot

1:20:23 > 1:20:29of dry weather. Much of England and Wales, away from say the far east

1:20:29 > 1:20:36around coastal counties and East Anglia, a few showers. Still chilly,

1:20:36 > 1:20:43even though temperatures are up on yesterday. Overnight we start to

1:20:43 > 1:20:50clear. Temperatures rising for many. Some patchy rain. There could be a

1:20:50 > 1:20:56bit of ice if you

1:20:56 > 1:20:57east, but for most temperatures will be freezing to stop the weekend. A

1:20:57 > 1:21:03little bit cold on Saturday... INAUDIBLE. Lots of cloud around.

1:21:03 > 1:21:07Patchy rain across the south to start Saturday. Heavy bursts in

1:21:07 > 1:21:12northern Scotland. A lot of dry weather. The best of the cloud

1:21:12 > 1:21:15breaks to the east of the hills. Temperatures starting to warm up in

1:21:15 > 1:21:21northern Scotland. Still chilly towards the south-east. The milder

1:21:21 > 1:21:25air will be with us all by the time we get to Sunday. Rain overnight,

1:21:25 > 1:21:29which will clear away the patchy fog. Patchy rain first thing in the

1:21:29 > 1:21:33south-east. Most will have a dry day away from drizzle in the west. The

1:21:33 > 1:21:37brighter day of the weekend with the best of the sunshine in eastern

1:21:37 > 1:21:43areas. Certainly a change after the cold conditions of autumn. Winter

1:21:43 > 1:21:45arrives and the temperatures are on the

1:21:45 > 1:21:46arrives and the temperatures are on the up. Back to you.

1:21:46 > 1:21:52Thanks very much.

1:21:52 > 1:21:54Shortly after their engagement was announced on Monday,

1:21:54 > 1:21:57Prince Harry's fiance Meghan Markle revealed it was a shared passion

1:21:57 > 1:22:00for social change that got him a second date.

1:22:00 > 1:22:02Later today, the couple will undertake their first joint

1:22:02 > 1:22:03royal visit in Nottingham.

1:22:03 > 1:22:10We're joined now by Allan Bryce, editor of Royal Life magazine,

1:22:10 > 1:22:12and by Dominic Edwardes from the Terrence Higgins Trust,

1:22:12 > 1:22:15one of the charities that the pair will visit.

1:22:15 > 1:22:22You must be very excited as this is the first high profile visit by a

1:22:22 > 1:22:26newly engaged couple?We are absolutely thrilled that Prince

1:22:26 > 1:22:29Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen to come to Nottingham to our fair

1:22:29 > 1:22:35this afternoon. It really underlines his great support for HIV as a

1:22:35 > 1:22:41cause.No one can underestimate the power of having such a high profile

1:22:41 > 1:22:45couple, where the media is interested and many people in the

1:22:45 > 1:22:48country and the world are watching. It raises the profile of the work

1:22:48 > 1:22:54you are doing.Absolutely. It's invaluable. Rinse Harry has been

1:22:54 > 1:22:58fantastic at raising awareness around HIV -- Prince Harry. And

1:22:58 > 1:23:02highlighting the amazing progress that's been made in the fight

1:23:02 > 1:23:08against HIV in the UK.Give us a sense of how you think since Monday

1:23:08 > 1:23:11this news has been received and how they are already starting to make

1:23:11 > 1:23:15their mark Betts it was obvious that they would hit the ground running

1:23:15 > 1:23:21--?It was obvious. She has already been involved in plenty of charity

1:23:21 > 1:23:26work and the fact that she has now got to get to know Britain, her

1:23:26 > 1:23:30adopted country, so she will be doing stuff for the Royal

1:23:30 > 1:23:40foundation. She is discovering the country now and she will be going

1:23:40 > 1:23:45around and taking part in engagements. She is immediately

1:23:45 > 1:23:51making her mark because she is so photogenic, she is camera savvy, she

1:23:51 > 1:24:01is really the dream. Unlike Princess Diana or even Sarah Ferguson. She is

1:24:01 > 1:24:04used to the limelight and the paparazzi and everything else and

1:24:04 > 1:24:09she handles it so well.How much guidance will she be given, now that

1:24:09 > 1:24:13it has been officially announced that she will be part of the Royal

1:24:13 > 1:24:17family? How much guidance will she get in terms of how to behave and

1:24:17 > 1:24:21how to speak? As an American she is perhaps more outspoken and more

1:24:21 > 1:24:28casual than we are used to.In an interview the other day I would say

1:24:28 > 1:24:34she probably said more than Harry did. So she obviously knows her own

1:24:34 > 1:24:39mind and although she will accept the guidance I think there will be a

1:24:39 > 1:24:44change coming from her as well. She will influence them. She is not

1:24:44 > 1:24:49going to just sit back and say, yes, I will do everything I'm told. I'm

1:24:49 > 1:24:58sure there will be a bit of quick quote -- back and forth. She is an

1:24:58 > 1:25:01independent woman and she already has the media exposure, and she

1:25:01 > 1:25:07knows how to work a camera. There will be things she has to learn

1:25:07 > 1:25:12about... She is learning. She will learn the geography of the country,

1:25:12 > 1:25:19for a start. She's also got this thing... Public displays of

1:25:19 > 1:25:27affection and that sort of thing are out. Once they are married, that's

1:25:27 > 1:25:33going to... So there will be protocol things.I'm sure they will

1:25:33 > 1:25:38do things on their own style. In some ways the visit today is very

1:25:38 > 1:25:46much on zero from Prince Harry to his mother. -- a nod. We will

1:25:46 > 1:25:52remember her involvement in HIV and how brave it was when she made her

1:25:52 > 1:25:59visits to various places and engaged in that discussion.Absolutely. I

1:25:59 > 1:26:03think Princess Diana's compassion was really remarkable. But the

1:26:03 > 1:26:08situation for people living with HIV today is different and Prince Harry

1:26:08 > 1:26:13and Meghan Markle's focus is on combating the stigma people with HIV

1:26:13 > 1:26:17face and encouraging them to come forward to test. Because the news is

1:26:17 > 1:26:21good for HIV in Britain today. We've seen a 20% reduction in the number

1:26:21 > 1:26:26of people diagnosed with HIV in the last year, so this is really part of

1:26:26 > 1:26:30the good news story and their passion and commitment is vital in

1:26:30 > 1:26:35getting people to understand the new world of HIV.On a slightly more

1:26:35 > 1:26:39trivial but nonetheless fascinating note, have you been given any

1:26:39 > 1:26:44guidance on how... What terminology you should use around the new royal

1:26:44 > 1:26:50couple? Do you know how to address them?I haven't. We haven't been

1:26:50 > 1:26:55given guidance and I think that's part of their charm, that we've not

1:26:55 > 1:27:00been given protocol or guidance. So I've been referring to prints have

1:27:00 > 1:27:08-- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or Ms Markle. If anyone can give me

1:27:08 > 1:27:13guidance, that would be wonderful.I am sure if you are just nice to them

1:27:13 > 1:27:17they will appreciate that! Thank you very much.

1:27:17 > 1:30:39Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

1:30:39 > 1:30:41I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

1:30:41 > 1:30:42in half an hour.

1:30:42 > 1:30:43Bye for now.

1:30:47 > 1:30:49Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

1:30:49 > 1:30:50Munchetty.

1:30:50 > 1:30:51It's 6:30.

1:30:54 > 1:30:55-- 7:30.

1:30:55 > 1:30:57We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

1:30:59 > 1:31:03Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

1:31:03 > 1:31:06A former Scotland Yard detective has told BBC News he was "shocked"

1:31:06 > 1:31:09by the amount of pornography on a Parliamentary computer seized

1:31:09 > 1:31:12from the office of the First Secretary of State, Damian Green.

1:31:12 > 1:31:13Neil Lewis, a computer forensics specialist,

1:31:13 > 1:31:15examined the device during an inquiry into government

1:31:15 > 1:31:16leaks in 2008.

1:31:16 > 1:31:19Mr Green has vehemently denied looking at pornography at work.

1:31:19 > 1:31:22Mr Lewis, who's now retired, said he has "no doubt whatsoever"

1:31:22 > 1:31:24that the images containing legal pornographic material had been

1:31:24 > 1:31:25accessed by Mr Green.

1:31:25 > 1:31:28Health inspectors have ordered a review of all NHS radiology

1:31:28 > 1:31:30services in England, after a hospital in Portsmouth

1:31:30 > 1:31:33failed to spot three cases of lung cancer.

1:31:33 > 1:31:35The investigation by the Care Quality Commission found

1:31:35 > 1:31:37that 20,000 scans had not been assessed correctly

1:31:37 > 1:31:40at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, and that junior doctors had been

1:31:40 > 1:31:42left to interpret the results without the appropriate training.

1:31:42 > 1:31:52The trust has apologised to the families affected.

1:31:52 > 1:31:56The Royal Bank of Scotland has announced it's to close 259 branches

1:31:56 > 1:32:00across the UK - meaning 680 job losses across the company The banks

1:32:00 > 1:32:03says it's due to more customers using mobile or online techology -

1:32:03 > 1:32:06the number of customers using branches has fallen by 40

1:32:06 > 1:32:07percent since 2014.

1:32:07 > 1:32:10The location of those branches is unknown and will be revealed

1:32:10 > 1:32:12later this morning - but affected staff have already been

1:32:12 > 1:32:18told.

1:32:18 > 1:32:21MPs scrutinising the government's Brexit plans says border controls

1:32:21 > 1:32:23between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic

1:32:23 > 1:32:26are inevitable if the UK leaves the EU single market and customs

1:32:26 > 1:32:26union.

1:32:26 > 1:32:29The Commons Brexit Committee says ministers have failed to explain how

1:32:29 > 1:32:33the issue can be resolved - and that the proposals they've come

1:32:33 > 1:32:36up with, such as the use of technology - are "untested"

1:32:36 > 1:32:51and "speculative".

1:32:52 > 1:32:55The Commons Brexit Committee says ministers have failed to explain how

1:32:55 > 1:32:58the issue can be resolved - and that the proposals they've come

1:32:58 > 1:33:01up with, such as the use of technology - are "untested"

1:33:01 > 1:33:04and "speculative".

1:33:04 > 1:33:08Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to carry out their first joint

1:33:08 > 1:33:09official visit later.

1:33:09 > 1:33:11The couple, who announced their engagement on Monday,

1:33:11 > 1:33:14will meet members of the public at a charity fair and a school

1:33:14 > 1:33:20in Nottingham later.

1:33:20 > 1:33:24They're due to get married at Windsor Castle in May.

1:33:24 > 1:33:28Those are the main story this morning. We will have the weather

1:33:28 > 1:33:32with Matt, and the delightful spectacle of the weather on ice.I

1:33:32 > 1:33:38love it. He is good, Matt.He is good at iceskating.I'm not bad, I'm

1:33:38 > 1:33:41actually getting older is a get better.What we are going to say,

1:33:41 > 1:33:46Charlie?I was just saying, he was telling us about the ice, he was on

1:33:46 > 1:33:52the ice, it is all about ice.I have a spectacle for you. Gary Lineker

1:33:52 > 1:33:56inside the Kremlin for BBC Two, presenting the World Cup draw to the

1:33:56 > 1:34:00world.It is not often that I envy Gary Lineker.But about... It is a

1:34:00 > 1:34:05Christmas Eve for football fans. Kicking off not just learning about

1:34:05 > 1:34:09the football on the teams they are going to play, -- but where you are

1:34:09 > 1:34:14going to play. I remember learning all about Mendoza, was ARIA it is a

1:34:14 > 1:34:20geography lesson as well as about football.The Russians will be

1:34:20 > 1:34:24hoping to turn it into a spectacle. It is a set piece event, a marker

1:34:24 > 1:34:28ahead of what is a significant moment.Yes, they were this to be a

1:34:28 > 1:34:32real selling point for their country, not just in football terms,

1:34:32 > 1:34:35but is efficient, powerful, all the wonderful things you can find out

1:34:35 > 1:34:39about Russia through football. They will hope to avoid what happened in

1:34:39 > 1:34:43Spain in 1982 when it went badly wrong, but there are computers these

1:34:43 > 1:34:43days.

1:34:43 > 1:34:47It's the moment that really kicks off the countdown to the World Cup -

1:34:47 > 1:34:50the draw at the Kremlin begins at around 3:00 this afternoon,

1:34:50 > 1:34:53and our sports news correspondent Richard Conway will be watching.

1:34:53 > 1:34:55It is Russia's moment in the spotlight, with final

1:34:55 > 1:34:58rehearsals for the World Cup draw ensuring nothing is left to chance.

1:34:58 > 1:35:01Some of the biggest names in the game are here to lend

1:35:01 > 1:35:04a hand too.

1:35:04 > 1:35:07Amongst them, one of England's 1966 heroes, who hopes the current squad

1:35:07 > 1:35:10can make their mark next summer.

1:35:10 > 1:35:13If they can get this team together, playing with each other,

1:35:13 > 1:35:18for each other, then there's always a chance.

1:35:18 > 1:35:22England will base themselves in a village north of St Petersburg,

1:35:22 > 1:35:24with the manager looking forward to what lies ahead.

1:35:24 > 1:35:27We don't have many players that have won major trophies.

1:35:27 > 1:35:30But the future's very exciting and there's a great challenge

1:35:30 > 1:35:33for this group to see how far they can go.

1:35:33 > 1:35:36Star attractions both on and off the pitch will draw thousands

1:35:36 > 1:35:37of fans here to Russia next summer.

1:35:37 > 1:35:40Organisers say everyone will be welcome for what they believe

1:35:40 > 1:35:54will be a festival of football.

1:35:54 > 1:35:56Nevertheless, the game here has had problems in the recent past,

1:35:56 > 1:35:59specifically with racism and violence, but campaigners

1:35:59 > 1:36:01are cautiously optimistic that things may be improving.

1:36:01 > 1:36:03We've moved from a position of denial to a state

1:36:03 > 1:36:06where the Russians understand that they need to clean up

1:36:06 > 1:36:10the stadiums, deal with some of the fans who are the hard core,

1:36:10 > 1:36:13otherwise people won't know when to come and it may well rebound

1:36:13 > 1:36:15back at them during the World Cup.

1:36:15 > 1:36:17Today, though, the focus is on the big draw -

1:36:17 > 1:36:27with all the teams keen to discover their footballing fate.

1:36:27 > 1:36:31Of course, they have been rehearsing this to be death to make sure that

1:36:31 > 1:36:34it is right. England drew Brazil in rehearsal.I think we definitely

1:36:34 > 1:36:39won't get them.No, not now, that was just the rehearsal. Let's look

1:36:39 > 1:36:43at what we think would be the best draw for England given the rankings.

1:36:43 > 1:36:46You think the dream draw would either host, Russia, because they

1:36:46 > 1:36:49are the weakest team in the whole tournament, number 63 in the world.

1:36:49 > 1:36:54But they are in the top pot of seeds because they are the hosts. Also in

1:36:54 > 1:36:57that dream group, the best case scenario would be the likes of Saudi

1:36:57 > 1:37:02Arabia and Senegal. The worse case scenario, perhaps, would be the

1:37:02 > 1:37:05world's best team, Germany. This would be the worst possible draw in

1:37:05 > 1:37:11terms of rankings. Germany, Costa Rica, who of course helped dump

1:37:11 > 1:37:15England out of the last World Cup. And Nigeria. But as well as the

1:37:15 > 1:37:19teams drawn in this World Cup, like never before, it is about where you

1:37:19 > 1:37:23play. A dream draw would be a 3000, to journey for three games. The

1:37:23 > 1:37:28worse case scenario would be going out to the likes of places like

1:37:28 > 1:37:31Ekaterinburg, 10,000 kilometres in just the space of ten days, three

1:37:31 > 1:37:36matches. So it is not just to you play, it is where you play.But they

1:37:36 > 1:37:39are going to be flying everywhere they go, aren't they?Apparently

1:37:39 > 1:37:43they are going to make use of sleeper trains as well. You can't

1:37:43 > 1:37:47really sleep that well on the train, in that little bunk...Why did you

1:37:47 > 1:37:52do that?I tend to sleep like a hamster. You sleep like a squirrel.

1:37:52 > 1:37:56I don't know, when I am on a train bed, yes.You do that funny setting

1:37:56 > 1:38:04noise as well?Stop bit!Well, my world is weird.Yes, that is a fact.

1:38:04 > 1:38:09What else have you got?You distracted me with squirrels! This

1:38:09 > 1:38:13time tomorrow will be talking about one of the big stories and sport for

1:38:13 > 1:38:16the whole year, the world right relief -- rugby league World Cup

1:38:16 > 1:38:26final.

1:38:26 > 1:38:28And overnight, we've heard the big news that,

1:38:28 > 1:38:31England's captain Sean O'Loughlin has been ruled out with

1:38:31 > 1:38:32a thigh strain.

1:38:32 > 1:38:35Sam Burgess will lead the side - he captained England in last year's

1:38:35 > 1:38:37Four Nations series, and assistant coach Dennis Betts

1:38:37 > 1:38:40said Burgess was a "doer" and a "leader" and the natural

1:38:40 > 1:38:43replacement.

1:38:43 > 1:38:46Britain's Paralympic champion Gordon Reid can still reach

1:38:46 > 1:38:48the semi-finals of the Wheelchair Tennis Masters in Loughbrough,

1:38:48 > 1:38:50after winning his second pool match.

1:38:50 > 1:38:55He came from a set down to beat Nicolas Peifer.

1:38:55 > 1:39:00The reigning Paralympic men's singles champion lost the first set

1:39:00 > 1:39:03against Frenchman Nicolas Peifer, but came back strongly 6-4,

1:39:03 > 1:39:066-3 to win his first match of the tournament.

1:39:06 > 1:39:11Andy Lapthorne also won to qualify for the semi-finals.

1:39:11 > 1:39:14Tiger Woods said he thought he "did great" in his latest comeback

1:39:14 > 1:39:15to competitive golf.

1:39:15 > 1:39:19He's been out since February after more back surgery and he shot

1:39:19 > 1:39:22a three under par 69 in the first round of the Hero World Challenge

1:39:22 > 1:39:23in the Bahamas.

1:39:23 > 1:39:25He's just three behind the clubhouse leader,

1:39:25 > 1:39:26England's Tommy Fleetwood.

1:39:26 > 1:39:29And finally, to the spectacle that is the Freestyle Canoe World

1:39:29 > 1:39:30Championships in Argentina.

1:39:30 > 1:39:32Tricks, spins, somersaults, timed runs - bonus points

1:39:32 > 1:39:34for getting the canoe completely out of the water.

1:39:34 > 1:39:37Great Britain have picked up three medals so far,

1:39:37 > 1:39:48with Claire O'Hara winning her 9th freestyle world title.

1:39:48 > 1:39:53Plus be like being a washing machine. Sleep did you get last

1:39:53 > 1:39:58night? About four hours.Not good enough.I was thinking about the

1:39:58 > 1:40:02Bobsleigh next week.You are kept awake thinking about Bobsleigh?It

1:40:02 > 1:40:06will all be revealed soon on Breakfast. But yes.We are going to

1:40:06 > 1:40:10talk about sleep, and I think you need to listen to this.

1:40:10 > 1:40:13Now on a frosty winter's morning like today most of us would love

1:40:13 > 1:40:15an excuse to jump back into bed.

1:40:15 > 1:40:19As it turns out, a few extra hours' sleep is exactly what some

1:40:19 > 1:40:22of us need!

1:40:22 > 1:40:27Certainly we need longer than Mike's four hours.

1:40:27 > 1:40:30Not getting enough sleep can cause obesity, heart disease and diabetes,

1:40:30 > 1:40:46and it shortens your life expectancy too.

1:40:46 > 1:40:49James Wilson is a sleep expert and he joins us now.

1:40:49 > 1:40:55Sleep. It is those things we talk about a third that this programme.

1:40:55 > 1:41:01At some of the key problems people face with sleeping issues?Sometimes

1:41:01 > 1:41:05when people want to go to sleep, they try to force it. It is not like

1:41:05 > 1:41:09exercise. You can't make yourself to it. We need to relax ourselves into

1:41:09 > 1:41:12sleep. We need to wind down properly. To go to sleep, two things

1:41:12 > 1:41:17need to happen. A drop in core temperature and a drop in heart

1:41:17 > 1:41:21rate. Many of us do things before bed that don't help us do that. We

1:41:21 > 1:41:25need to stop forcing ourselves to go to bed at a certain time. We cannot

1:41:25 > 1:41:29force ourselves to go to sleep at ten. But we can turn -- we can learn

1:41:29 > 1:41:33what being sleepy feels like, which is important.There are all these

1:41:33 > 1:41:38conflicting ideas about how to go to sleep. I have learned, over the

1:41:38 > 1:41:41years, being on shifts like this, I don't panic about sleep. I think

1:41:41 > 1:41:45that is one of the problems. You start thinking about it, you're not

1:41:45 > 1:41:50getting enough sleep, you wake in the middle of the night. You say,

1:41:50 > 1:41:53don't watch TV, don't look at your phone, but then people say, get into

1:41:53 > 1:41:57a routine and watch something that makes you feel relaxed.I think we

1:41:57 > 1:42:01need to learn who we are as sleepers. We are all genetically

1:42:01 > 1:42:04different when it comes to sleep. We all need a different amount of

1:42:04 > 1:42:08sleep. Just as importantly we need a different quality of sleep. You have

1:42:08 > 1:42:12learned to you are as a sleeper. That is what we are try to do my

1:42:12 > 1:42:15organisation, trying to understand. Are you a morning lark? Are you a

1:42:15 > 1:42:20night owl? Are you typical? Learn when you should go to bed, but don't

1:42:20 > 1:42:23force it. Sleepiness comes by doing things which help us relax away

1:42:23 > 1:42:28heart rate drops. It doesn't come when we sit in bed thinking, I need

1:42:28 > 1:42:32to sleep.You have suffered from sleep problems yourself?Yes, I had

1:42:32 > 1:42:36an insomniac. Bad sleepers are bad sleepers. You can't change that.

1:42:36 > 1:42:40What was your sleep pattern? Ie she knew have improved that now. When

1:42:40 > 1:42:44you had your problem, what was it? Waking up early in the morning. As a

1:42:44 > 1:42:48teenager I didn't sleep at all. That often happens with teenagers. As I

1:42:48 > 1:42:52got older I struggled to stay asleep. I used to wake up at two

1:42:52 > 1:42:56o'clock in the morning and think, I'm not going to go back to sleep.

1:42:56 > 1:43:00And guess what, I never went back to sleep. Now I wake up at two o'clock

1:43:00 > 1:43:05in the morning and I think, if I don't get back to sleep I will be

1:43:05 > 1:43:08OK. Because although I am a really bad sleeper I am brilliant at being

1:43:08 > 1:43:12tired. I cope well. So I changed the conversation in my head about sleep,

1:43:12 > 1:43:16and that was a powerful tool for me to sleep better.Isn't that a myth,

1:43:16 > 1:43:20that you can be good at being tired? Shouldn't you except that you are

1:43:20 > 1:43:24not functioning anywhere close to 100% during the day? -- accept. So

1:43:24 > 1:43:28your cognitive functions, your everyday functions, they suffer?I

1:43:28 > 1:43:33can get through the day fine. What I used to do, I would have a bad

1:43:33 > 1:43:36night's sleep, I would worry, I would wake up and think, I'm not

1:43:36 > 1:43:40going to sleep. I would go seven or eight weeks like that and I would

1:43:40 > 1:43:45crash and have a good sleep and start again. So what I do now, it is

1:43:45 > 1:43:49just one day, we can deal with one or two days of bad sleep. People

1:43:49 > 1:43:52play in the World Cup final, people give presentations, people do

1:43:52 > 1:43:55amazing things with no sleep whatsoever.What if you were in a

1:43:55 > 1:43:59position where you can catch up on sleep. You are just, that was it.

1:43:59 > 1:44:03You were destined to a lifestyle of five hours every night. Is that

1:44:03 > 1:44:08damaging, physiologically?To get 90% of our sleep needs, winning five

1:44:08 > 1:44:12and a half hours. So although a lot of it will have seven or eight hours

1:44:12 > 1:44:15and they feel better, for our overall health, about five and a

1:44:15 > 1:44:19half hours is enough. And that really, really helps. As a bad

1:44:19 > 1:44:23sleeper, I was getting two or three hours. Eight hours was miles away. I

1:44:23 > 1:44:28couldn't get that. But five hours, I could manage that. So when I got six

1:44:28 > 1:44:31hours I felt like I had had a good night's sleep.Very interesting.

1:44:31 > 1:44:36Thank you, James. Have a session with Mike, he is on four hours.And

1:44:36 > 1:44:42sleeping like a squirrel, as well. Do you know what I don't like? Cold

1:44:42 > 1:44:48bedrooms. It is a big argument.Well but as long as you have a warm bed,

1:44:48 > 1:44:52it doesn't matter.It is cold when you get into it. That's the problem.

1:44:52 > 1:44:57And it's going to get colder. It has been very cold over the last few

1:44:57 > 1:45:01days and you have been sending your photos and videos in. Who is that?

1:45:01 > 1:45:05Somebody who has been enjoying the snow. But everybody, maybe. This is

1:45:05 > 1:45:10Bridlington. The snow came down and people were enjoying it.That is in

1:45:10 > 1:45:13Brighton for us.

1:45:18 > 1:45:24Good morning from the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. We have managed to stay

1:45:24 > 1:45:28on our feet. It is called in Brighton this morning, with the ice

1:45:28 > 1:45:33underfoot. Wintry conditions yesterday, especially in eastern

1:45:33 > 1:45:39England. Frost elsewhere. There is a change on the way. We may be at the

1:45:39 > 1:45:40start of the meteorological Winter, by

1:45:40 > 1:45:43start of the meteorological Winter, by temperatures are on the up in the

1:45:43 > 1:45:48next few days. Into this weekend it turns cloudy and mild in parts of

1:45:48 > 1:45:53the country, but of course you start to lose the sunshine with had over

1:45:53 > 1:45:58the last few days. Still sunshine this morning. Cloud thickens up. The

1:45:58 > 1:46:04rest of Scotland, frosty. Down across the eastern counties of

1:46:04 > 1:46:08England, outbreaks of rain coming and going. A bit of sleet and snow

1:46:08 > 1:46:12over high ground force of turning mainly back to rain. Over the next

1:46:12 > 1:46:16few hours it could be icy in a couple of spots after the sleet and

1:46:16 > 1:46:20snow of yesterday. The wind is not as strong as yesterday, but still

1:46:20 > 1:46:26blustery in eastern areas. In the west, a frosty and lovely staff are

1:46:26 > 1:46:31many and not a bad start for Northern Ireland. Overnight it will

1:46:31 > 1:46:36start to cloud over as we go through the day. For the rest of the day

1:46:36 > 1:46:39Northern Ireland, Scotland and later northern England, louder round

1:46:39 > 1:46:43increases from the north. Still sunshine here and there, especially

1:46:43 > 1:46:50the east of high ground. Showers in eastern England start to fade. Maybe

1:46:50 > 1:46:55confined to the coasts, especially for Sussex, six and Kent. Still

1:46:55 > 1:46:59windy, but not as windy as yesterday. With less wind it means

1:46:59 > 1:47:03it won't feel quite as chilly, but still temperatures down on where

1:47:03 > 1:47:07they should be. Into this evenly and overnight, cloud in the northern

1:47:07 > 1:47:13half will move southwards. This will bring patchy rain, namely Inner

1:47:13 > 1:47:20West. -- mainly in the west. There is the risk of temperatures dropping

1:47:20 > 1:47:26close enough to freezing. A touch of ice around. Still be wary if you

1:47:26 > 1:47:29have clear skies overhead as it could be frosty tomorrow. But there

1:47:29 > 1:47:35is a change on the way. More cloud on Saturday UK wide. Patchy rain in

1:47:35 > 1:47:38southern parts of Wales and southern England to begin with. Heavy bursts

1:47:38 > 1:47:44at times. Far from a washout. Dry weather for many at times. The best

1:47:44 > 1:47:54of any breaks in east of high -- over high ground. Sunday will be a

1:47:54 > 1:47:57brighter day than Saturday. Any light rain or drizzle will remain to

1:47:57 > 1:48:03the west. The best of any sunny breaks to the east of high ground

1:48:03 > 1:48:07and temperatures up to about 11 degrees at best. I still need a

1:48:07 > 1:48:10little bit of skating practice, but so far so good.

1:48:10 > 1:48:11little bit of skating practice, but so far so good.

1:48:11 > 1:48:15Let's hope that changes before the end of the programme!

1:48:15 > 1:48:21I thought you would like that, yes. See you later.

1:48:21 > 1:48:26We've been rather lucky this morning as we've been invited into Piper

1:48:26 > 1:48:31Hill High School, a special school. It's all part of our special series

1:48:31 > 1:48:37this week, looking at pupils who have special educational needs.

1:48:37 > 1:48:41We've been taking a look at the idea of communication and how to make

1:48:41 > 1:48:45that easier for children who do have special educational needs. Good

1:48:45 > 1:48:51morning, Jayne. Good morning. Is there anybody in

1:48:51 > 1:48:55particular you want to say good morning to?I want to say good

1:48:55 > 1:49:02morning to my friends at Tesco, if anyone can hear me! Good morning.I

1:49:02 > 1:49:06think that's an advert. I don't think you can do that, but we will

1:49:06 > 1:49:12let you. We are down here and it's a special day because what's the name

1:49:12 > 1:49:19of today?Butty Day.Today they all make them and it's a very special

1:49:19 > 1:49:23day. What is the one killer secret ingredient for any sandwich?Salt

1:49:23 > 1:49:31and vinegar crisps.These are the information strips that helped them

1:49:31 > 1:49:35know exactly what to do with the savages. And look at this. They know

1:49:35 > 1:49:41exactly what will happen. -- savages. What we are learning today

1:49:41 > 1:49:50is a bit more serious. 1.4 million children in the UK have speech and

1:49:50 > 1:49:55communications issues. Report given to us exclusively today has new

1:49:55 > 1:50:02figures. Report is by a royal and communication charity and they say

1:50:02 > 1:50:07there is not enough access for children out there.

1:50:07 > 1:50:10Harry is happy and helpful, but with profound autism

1:50:10 > 1:50:11he struggles to communicate.

1:50:11 > 1:50:14Despite being twice assessed as having a problem,

1:50:14 > 1:50:17he has never been under the treatment of an NHS speech

1:50:17 > 1:50:24and language therapist.

1:50:24 > 1:50:27You have pushed and pushed to see somebody, haven't you?

1:50:27 > 1:50:28Pushed and pushed.

1:50:28 > 1:50:31We have a multiagency meeting every 12 weeks for Harry.

1:50:31 > 1:50:37Each time we've attended there is never a speech therapist,

1:50:37 > 1:50:40whereas a speech therapist, could she attend the next one?

1:50:40 > 1:50:43The same thing has happened for 18 months.

1:50:43 > 1:50:46Rather than therapy for Harry, the NHS has offered Jane training,

1:50:46 > 1:50:48which they tell me can be very beneficial.

1:50:48 > 1:50:57She now pays for private therapy.

1:50:57 > 1:51:00I'm in a good position because I'm able to do that,

1:51:00 > 1:51:02but a lot of people say they can't.

1:51:02 > 1:51:05Here at this school in Birmingham they also feel badly let down.

1:51:05 > 1:51:08As class starts, the teacher tries to hold their attention.

1:51:08 > 1:51:11A bit more interested in our camera!

1:51:11 > 1:51:15Most are eventually able to follow the song and join in the actions.

1:51:15 > 1:51:19But some really struggle.

1:51:19 > 1:51:22Not just to speak but to pay attention, to understand,

1:51:22 > 1:51:24to follow instructions, all part of a speech,

1:51:24 > 1:51:30language and communication need.

1:51:30 > 1:51:32It's frustrating for us because we get children

1:51:32 > 1:51:34and you almost feel they've been written off

1:51:34 > 1:51:39because sometimes parents have already noticed there is a problem

1:51:39 > 1:51:42and they've tried to get help, they've gone to doctors

1:51:42 > 1:51:43and nothing has happened.

1:51:43 > 1:51:45This is why the school brought in Diana.

1:51:45 > 1:51:49She was part of a speech and language team in the NHS before

1:51:49 > 1:51:52being laid off with a number of colleagues five years ago.

1:51:52 > 1:51:54Developing children's speech and language is not a target,

1:51:54 > 1:51:57like cancer or heart or diabetes.

1:51:57 > 1:51:59If you don't get the speech and language right,

1:51:59 > 1:52:00what else goes wrong?

1:52:00 > 1:52:02You don't learn to read and write.

1:52:02 > 1:52:05Ten years ago, the government commissioned a report which flagged

1:52:05 > 1:52:11up problems here and led to promises to deliver better services

1:52:11 > 1:52:16for children like Zacharia.

1:52:16 > 1:52:18Better watch that!

1:52:18 > 1:52:24The Department of Health says there are around 160 more therapies

1:52:24 > 1:52:27today and the government has an extra £2 million into therapy.

1:52:27 > 1:52:33But look at this from a recent Ofsted and QC due report.

1:52:33 > 1:52:37And today a new survey finds only 15% of parents and therapist believe

1:52:37 > 1:52:39there are enough services in their area.

1:52:39 > 1:52:41They say this will have consequences.

1:52:41 > 1:52:47Data shows that over 60% at least have communication difficulties

1:52:47 > 1:52:53in the youth justice system, but name any vulnerable group

1:52:53 > 1:52:55of children, children in the looked after system,

1:52:55 > 1:52:56with mental health issues,

1:52:56 > 1:52:59children that are excluded or on the fringe of the excluded,

1:52:59 > 1:53:01and the youth justice system, the majority

1:53:01 > 1:53:02all have communication difficulties.

1:53:02 > 1:53:05Communication underpins everything, from reading and writing to making

1:53:05 > 1:53:06friends and making a future.

1:53:06 > 1:53:13Get it wrong and many kids will flounder.

1:53:13 > 1:53:17So serious, but we all know that resources are really stretched on

1:53:17 > 1:53:22the NHS. There are huge increases in demand for everything and there's

1:53:22 > 1:53:26quite a struggle to try to get the right of therapy is out there, to

1:53:26 > 1:53:31recruit them. Meet my new best friend, Joe. What's on the menu?

1:53:31 > 1:53:40We've got flapjacks, home-made carrot cake and home-made granola!

1:53:40 > 1:53:44All of this and the drink down at the bottom in a minute. I want to

1:53:44 > 1:53:50introduce you to the deputy heads. Louise and Adele. Tell me, there's a

1:53:50 > 1:53:58really serious point to the business end of this.These help to support

1:53:58 > 1:54:03and develop our students' skills for life and living and promote

1:54:03 > 1:54:07independence.It's all about independence and learning and also

1:54:07 > 1:54:11about trying to get independence and find a job, because everybody gets

1:54:11 > 1:54:17work experience.It's very personalised, so for students it

1:54:17 > 1:54:23could be internal in school, in the office, all with local businesses.

1:54:23 > 1:54:28Fantastic. And they don't get paid for the work experience, however,

1:54:28 > 1:54:33Butty Business Friday? All of the staff have to pay for their

1:54:33 > 1:54:37sandwiches and then the money goes to the guys and they can choose what

1:54:37 > 1:54:40to do with the profits, like go on a day trip.

1:54:40 > 1:54:45We need to hear about how this money is spent.What's it going to be on?

1:54:45 > 1:54:49It's going to be on trips in a couple of weeks, like going to the

1:54:49 > 1:54:58cinema and that.And let's just go and see the other two. We've got 30

1:54:58 > 1:55:02sandwiches to make. What are you going to spend your wages on?

1:55:02 > 1:55:09Bowling!Bowling, fantastic. I know you are very excited about this trip

1:55:09 > 1:55:18to?Going out.Going to wear? A meal? Can I come? They do look

1:55:18 > 1:55:24convinced. From us, back to you.

1:55:24 > 1:55:28We've had enormous amounts of interest in this series throughout

1:55:28 > 1:55:34the week, but I just want to share... Sophie has said, I think

1:55:34 > 1:55:38that school you are out today is amazing. It doesn't pay much, it's a

1:55:38 > 1:55:45hard job, people do it for the love of it. People are full of praise for

1:55:45 > 1:55:48the staff and I know this is just one place.

1:55:48 > 1:55:54It absolutely is. You can't hear but there's a whole army of cheerleaders

1:55:54 > 1:55:58out there, writing in two-hour programme right now, saying, you

1:55:58 > 1:56:06guys rock. Amazing! Also the staff as well. You do a great job. Do you

1:56:06 > 1:56:15want to say something?I want to say thanks everyone for cheerleading as!

1:56:15 > 1:56:23-- us!I love it. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for having us.

1:56:23 > 1:56:29Lovely. A special thank you to Joe. A natural!

1:56:29 > 1:56:33Is been hearing the comments. Thanks for getting in touch and keep doing

1:56:33 > 1:56:35it.

1:56:38 > 1:59:57email bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk, or tweet us using the hashtag

1:59:57 > 2:00:00By the time we get to Sunday there should be more

2:00:00 > 2:00:03in the way of brightness and we have highs of 10 degrees.

2:00:03 > 2:00:06I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

2:00:06 > 2:00:09in half an hour.

2:00:11 > 2:00:13Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

2:00:13 > 2:00:16A former detective tells the BBC he was "shocked" by the amount

2:00:16 > 2:00:19of pornography viewed on a computer seized from the office

2:00:19 > 2:00:21of the First Secretary of State, Damian Green.

2:00:21 > 2:00:23The technology specialist says he has no doubt that the images

2:00:23 > 2:00:25found on Damian Green's parliamentary computer

2:00:25 > 2:00:27in 2008 had been accessed by the minister himself -

2:00:27 > 2:00:34despite Mr Green's denials.

2:00:36 > 2:00:39Good morning, it's Friday 1st December.

2:00:39 > 2:00:46Also this morning...

2:00:46 > 2:00:49News of some changes on the high street.

2:00:49 > 2:00:52The Royal Bank of Scotland has announced it is to close 259

2:00:52 > 2:00:53branches, affecting almost 700 jobs.

2:00:53 > 2:00:54I'll have all the details, shortly.

2:00:54 > 2:00:57The first official engagement for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

2:00:57 > 2:01:05as a couple since they announced their plans to get married.

2:01:05 > 2:01:08To mark the end of our amazing week about special educational needs,

2:01:08 > 2:01:13I'm at Piper Hill High in Manchester.

2:01:13 > 2:01:17I am with Isabella and Jess, and also Josh. I know you love working

2:01:17 > 2:01:26with Josh, the classroom assistant. What do you read to him?The Cat In

2:01:26 > 2:01:31The Hat!This is an amazing school, we are investigating what it means

2:01:31 > 2:01:34to the pupils, we will see why it is the same in lots of ways but

2:01:34 > 2:01:38different in others.

2:01:38 > 2:01:43When you asked me to join you on the programme I did not know I would be

2:01:43 > 2:01:49talking! We are in the Forest School area, comeback after 8am and we will

2:01:49 > 2:01:53talk about what makes this place so unique.

2:01:53 > 2:01:59In sport, its the day of destiny for 32 nations, who'll discover,

2:01:59 > 2:02:10who and where they'll play, at next summer's World Cup finals

2:02:11 > 2:02:14in Russia - England are not one of the top seeds, and so could draw,

2:02:14 > 2:02:16the likes of Brazil, Argentina and Germany.

2:02:16 > 2:02:17And Matt has the weather.

2:02:17 > 2:02:20It is the start of the meteorological winter so I'm on the

2:02:20 > 2:02:22ice here in Brighton but, if anything, things will get my other

2:02:22 > 2:02:25this weekend. The full forecast in 15 minutes.

2:02:25 > 2:02:29Good morning.

2:02:29 > 2:02:33First, our main story...

2:02:33 > 2:02:36A former Scotland Yard detective has told BBC News he was "shocked"

2:02:36 > 2:02:38by the amount of pornography on a Parliamentary computer

2:02:38 > 2:02:41seized from the office of the First Secretary of State,

2:02:41 > 2:02:42Damian Green.

2:02:42 > 2:02:44Mr Green has denied looking at pornography at work.

2:02:44 > 2:02:46Neil Lewis, a computer forensics specialist, examined the device

2:02:46 > 2:02:48during an inquiry into Government leaks in 2008.

2:02:48 > 2:02:50He's now retired, and he spoke to our home affairs

2:02:50 > 2:02:51correspondent Danny Shaw.

2:02:51 > 2:02:54How can you be sure that it was Damian Green

2:02:54 > 2:02:59who was accessing that pornography?

2:02:59 > 2:03:01There's a phrase, you can't put fingers on a keyboard.

2:03:01 > 2:03:03So I can't say that.

2:03:03 > 2:03:08But the computer was in Mr Green's office, on his desk.

2:03:08 > 2:03:15Logged in, it's his account, his name.

2:03:15 > 2:03:18In between browsing pornography, he was sending emails from his

2:03:18 > 2:03:22account, his personal account.

2:03:22 > 2:03:27Reading documents, writing documents.

2:03:27 > 2:03:30Danny Shaw joins us now from our London newsroom.

2:03:30 > 2:03:35Danny, what more can you tell us?

2:03:35 > 2:03:39Neil that this was an officer working on the counter terrorism

2:03:39 > 2:03:42command at the time of the inquiry. You have to remember this was about

2:03:42 > 2:03:46leaks from the Home Office, he was not looking for pornography, he was

2:03:46 > 2:03:50examining Damian Green's computers to look for evidence about the leaks

2:03:50 > 2:03:55and he came across these thousands of images, he says, thumbnail images

2:03:55 > 2:03:59of pornographic material and lots of website browsing of pornography. He

2:03:59 > 2:04:03said on Sunday's pornography was being browsed, surged for all looked

2:04:03 > 2:04:16at for several hours and he checked

2:04:19 > 2:04:21over a three-month period and it was extensive, the amount of pornography

2:04:21 > 2:04:23that had been viewed on Damian Green's parliamentary computer.

2:04:23 > 2:04:25He claims there was similar computer on Mr Green's Parliamentary issued

2:04:25 > 2:04:28laptop as well. What information is there about who was accessing this

2:04:28 > 2:04:31pornography? You heard him there said he cannot

2:04:31 > 2:04:36definitively prove that it was Damian Green, and that in a court of

2:04:36 > 2:04:39law, when barristers try to get you to say that coming he cannot say

2:04:39 > 2:04:46that with 100% certainty. But looking at the patterns of usage, in

2:04:46 > 2:04:50his opinion, it points towards Damian Green. Mr Green has

2:04:50 > 2:04:55vehemently denied the allegation, he is claiming he did not put

2:04:55 > 2:04:58pornography on his work computers or look at pornography on his work

2:04:58 > 2:05:02computers, that is what he has stuck with over the past few weeks since

2:05:02 > 2:05:06these allegations emerged. Thank you very much.

2:05:06 > 2:05:09Health inspectors have ordered a review of all NHS radiology

2:05:09 > 2:05:11services in England, after a hospital in Portsmouth

2:05:11 > 2:05:15failed to spot three cases of lung cancer.

2:05:15 > 2:05:19The investigation by the Care Quality Commission also

2:05:19 > 2:05:21found that 20,000 chest scans had not been assessed correctly

2:05:21 > 2:05:23at the Queen Alexandra Hospital.

2:05:23 > 2:05:25The Trust has apologised to the families affected.

2:05:25 > 2:05:29Mark Lobel reports.

2:05:29 > 2:05:37An alarming backlog of unchecked medical scans has been found

2:05:37 > 2:05:40at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth by the health services

2:05:40 > 2:05:47regulator, after a member of the public raised concerns.

2:05:47 > 2:05:50The Care Quality Commission found between 1st April 2016

2:05:50 > 2:05:55and 31st March this year, 26,345 chest x-rays and 2,167

2:05:55 > 2:06:01abdomen x-rays had not been formally reviewed by a radiologist

2:06:01 > 2:06:02or an appropriately trained clinician.

2:06:02 > 2:06:07Some had been checked - but by junior doctors,

2:06:07 > 2:06:10who complained that they had been asked to do so without

2:06:10 > 2:06:11appropriate training.

2:06:11 > 2:06:15In some cases where x-rays had been declared clear,

2:06:15 > 2:06:20radiologists went on to spot cancer on later scans.

2:06:20 > 2:06:26In a statement, the Care Quality Commission said:

2:06:26 > 2:06:36Portsmouth NHS Trust said:

2:06:38 > 2:06:42The health regulator has now written to all trusts in England to build up

2:06:42 > 2:06:44a national picture of how quickly patients' x-rays are viewed.

2:06:44 > 2:06:49But tackling the problem will be tough.

2:06:49 > 2:06:56Experts have warned of a desperate shortage of radiologists

2:06:56 > 2:07:00across the country.

2:07:00 > 2:07:04The Government points to an increase of radiologists undergoing training

2:07:04 > 2:07:11and a 10% rise in the number of diagnostic radiographers since 2010.

2:07:11 > 2:07:14Survivors and those who lost loved ones in the Grenfell fire say

2:07:14 > 2:07:17the public inquiry into the disaster will be a whitewash

2:07:17 > 2:07:19unless a diverse panel is appointed to oversee the proceedings.

2:07:19 > 2:07:21The Government says the process is ongoing, but campaigners

2:07:21 > 2:07:24are urging the Prime Minister to intervene, and say the chairman,

2:07:24 > 2:07:27Sir Martin Moore-Bick, should sit with a range of people

2:07:27 > 2:07:34who understand the issues facing those affected by the disaster.

2:07:34 > 2:07:36The Argentine navy has abandoned efforts to rescue the 44 crew

2:07:36 > 2:07:39members of a submarine that disappeared two weeks ago.

2:07:39 > 2:07:41Thousands of people have been involved in the search

2:07:41 > 2:07:43for the San Juan, covering a 40,000 square kilometre area

2:07:43 > 2:07:44of the South Atlantic.

2:07:44 > 2:07:49The authorities say they will still try to locate the wreckage.

2:07:49 > 2:07:54A developing story this morning - Royal Bank of Scotland is to close

2:07:54 > 2:07:55some of its branches.

2:07:55 > 2:07:58Sean's here with more.

2:07:58 > 2:08:03Branch closures is not a new thing but it seems to be never-ending,

2:08:03 > 2:08:07Royal Bank of Scotland saying nearly 260 branches across the network. If

2:08:07 > 2:08:11you break that down, that is a quarter of their branches in

2:08:11 > 2:08:14Scotland will be closed as part of the announcement, a quarter of their

2:08:14 > 2:08:23remaining branches, quite a big hit for Scottish branches. 62 are RBS,

2:08:23 > 2:08:27197 of those branches are at NatWest, which are around England

2:08:27 > 2:08:30and Wales, that is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland. RBS are

2:08:30 > 2:08:34basically saying it is because they are continuing to see fewer

2:08:34 > 2:08:39customers use branches, down 40% since 2014, and way more mobile

2:08:39 > 2:08:44phone transactions being made, up 73% in the same period.

2:08:44 > 2:08:49We have spoken about how important they are, banks, to the strength of

2:08:49 > 2:08:55community and many people using it in terms of just personal

2:08:55 > 2:08:58interaction and feeling more comfortable with the traditional

2:08:58 > 2:09:00ways of banking. Particularly for big financial

2:09:00 > 2:09:05decisions you might have to make, later in life those bigger financial

2:09:05 > 2:09:08decisions you are making about where you put your money might be more

2:09:08 > 2:09:11pertinent as well, so the post office in theory can provide a lot

2:09:11 > 2:09:15of services if you still have one in your village or town, but if you

2:09:15 > 2:09:20don't, we are getting onto these mobile banking trucks and lorries

2:09:20 > 2:09:25that we see going around to different villages that people start

2:09:25 > 2:09:29using but that is a very different way of banking to what we used to

2:09:29 > 2:09:35previously. We should add as well 680 jobs under threat here, RBS

2:09:35 > 2:09:38hoping there will not be compulsory redundancies but it remains to be

2:09:38 > 2:09:41seen. And the staff have been told that?

2:09:41 > 2:09:46The staff have been made aware. Thanks very much.

2:09:46 > 2:09:49Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will carry out their first joint

2:09:49 > 2:09:51Royal engagements later, just days after announcing that

2:09:51 > 2:09:52they're to marry in the spring.

2:09:52 > 2:09:55They will visit a number of charities in Nottingham, as our

2:09:55 > 2:09:56Royal Correspondent Sarah Campbell reports.

2:09:56 > 2:10:00It was only on Monday that Prince Harry introduced

2:10:00 > 2:10:03the American actress Meghan Markle as his new fiancee.

2:10:03 > 2:10:08This photo call was held in the controlled environment

2:10:08 > 2:10:10of the garden at Kensington Palace, but Ms Markle made it clear

2:10:10 > 2:10:13in the subsequent interview that she was keen to get out

2:10:13 > 2:10:15and about and meet the British public.

2:10:15 > 2:10:17In these beginning few months and now being boots

2:10:17 > 2:10:21on the ground in the UK, I'm excited to just really get

2:10:21 > 2:10:26to know more about the different communities here, smaller

2:10:26 > 2:10:28organisations, we're working on the same causes I've

2:10:28 > 2:10:30always been passionate about under this umbrella.

2:10:30 > 2:10:32And also being able to go around the Commonwealth,

2:10:32 > 2:10:34I think it's just the beginning...

2:10:34 > 2:10:38There's a lot to do.

2:10:38 > 2:10:44Their first engagement together will highlight an issue Prince Harry

2:10:44 > 2:10:46has become a prominent campaigner on behalf of - AIDS

2:10:46 > 2:10:47and HIV awareness.

2:10:47 > 2:10:49They will then visit Nottingham Academy.

2:10:49 > 2:10:51Through the Royal Foundation he has supported Full Effect,

2:10:51 > 2:10:55a programme which is attempting to tackle youth crime.

2:10:55 > 2:10:57This was Prince Harry meeting the public in

2:10:57 > 2:11:02Nottingham earlier this year.

2:11:02 > 2:11:04According to his spokesman, it's a community which has become

2:11:04 > 2:11:07very special to him and one that he's looking forward

2:11:07 > 2:11:08to introducing to his new fiancee.

2:11:08 > 2:11:11Born and raised in California, Meghan Markle has already agreed

2:11:11 > 2:11:14to make the UK her home, and the people of Nottingham will be

2:11:14 > 2:11:15the first to publicly welcome her.

2:11:15 > 2:11:25Sarah Campbell, BBC News.

2:11:25 > 2:11:30Sport and weather coming up shortly.

2:11:30 > 2:11:32A return of border checks between Northern Ireland

2:11:32 > 2:11:34and the Republic is inevitable after Brexit, according

2:11:34 > 2:11:35to a group of MPs.

2:11:35 > 2:11:38The Commons' Exiting the EU Committee says that if the UK pulls

2:11:38 > 2:11:42out of the single market and customs union, it will be impossible

2:11:42 > 2:11:47to maintain a frictionless border.

2:11:47 > 2:11:49The committee's chairman, the Labour MP Hilary Benn,

2:11:49 > 2:11:52joins us now from Westminster.

2:11:52 > 2:11:56Why would it be impossible, in the simplest sense, technology is

2:11:56 > 2:12:00advancing, could there not be a electronic border? It seems to work

2:12:00 > 2:12:09at the moment.On the 200 crossing points between the Republic of

2:12:09 > 2:12:12Ireland and Northern Ireland, goods flow freely at the moment, there is

2:12:12 > 2:12:15no infrastructure because we are part of the European Union, the

2:12:15 > 2:12:19customs union, the single market. What we have said is currently we

2:12:19 > 2:12:22don't see how it will be possible to reconcile on one hand the object of

2:12:22 > 2:12:27the Government has set out that there should be no border and no

2:12:27 > 2:12:30physical infrastructure after we leave, an objective that we all

2:12:30 > 2:12:33support and share, including the Government of the Republic of

2:12:33 > 2:12:38Ireland, and on the other hand the has reached to leave the customs

2:12:38 > 2:12:42union and the single market, because it will then become the border

2:12:42 > 2:12:46between the United Kingdom and the other 27 member states of the

2:12:46 > 2:12:49European Union. You are right, the Government has suggested that

2:12:49 > 2:12:54technology might provide the answer, at the moment, however, the

2:12:54 > 2:12:57Government admits its proposals are untested and, crucially, the

2:12:57 > 2:13:00Republic of Ireland, which will be on the other side of the border, is

2:13:00 > 2:13:08not convinced that that can deliver the no hard border, no

2:13:08 > 2:13:11infrastructure aim that everybody shares and that is why, as a

2:13:11 > 2:13:15committee today, we have called on the Government to set out in more

2:13:15 > 2:13:18detail how exactly it thinks this can be made to work, because there

2:13:18 > 2:13:23does seem to be a conflict between the two things at the moment.Can

2:13:23 > 2:13:32you explain the committee's breakdown in terms of you, you

2:13:32 > 2:13:35campaign to remain in the EU ahead of the referendum, how it breaks

2:13:35 > 2:13:42down in terms of what the agenda is? Is the aim to facilitate the

2:13:42 > 2:13:45Government's negotiations over Brexit, or is it to throw up

2:13:45 > 2:13:49challenges?Our job as a Select Committee is to scrutinise the

2:13:49 > 2:13:52process of Brexit, the workings of Parliament for exiting the European

2:13:52 > 2:13:56Union, to listen to the evidence and produce reports and make

2:13:56 > 2:13:59recommendations. We are doing our job. This is the most challenging

2:13:59 > 2:14:03process that this country has been through certainly since the end of

2:14:03 > 2:14:10the Second World War over 44 years we have built up a relationship with

2:14:10 > 2:14:13our friends and neighbours in terms of law, trade, movement of people,

2:14:13 > 2:14:18and all other things, and it is, unsurprisingly, a complex and

2:14:18 > 2:14:22difficult process. I said at the very first meeting of the committee,

2:14:22 > 2:14:26it doesn't matter whether anyone voted Remain or Leave, the decision

2:14:26 > 2:14:31was made by the British people in June 2016, have a job now is to look

2:14:31 > 2:14:35at what is happening and to offer advice and recommendations, and that

2:14:35 > 2:14:39is what we have done today in producing our first report on the

2:14:39 > 2:14:43negotiations, which covers not just the question of the border between

2:14:43 > 2:14:54Northern Ireland and the

2:14:57 > 2:15:00Republic, called on the Government, if we do move onto phase two of

2:15:00 > 2:15:03talks later this month, which we hope very much we will, the

2:15:03 > 2:15:05Government needs to set out with greater clarity what this new deep

2:15:05 > 2:15:07and special partnership it wants us to have with the European Union is

2:15:07 > 2:15:10going to consist of. We also want the Government to be clearer about

2:15:10 > 2:15:12how a transitional arrangement period is going to operate, because

2:15:12 > 2:15:15businesses need to know where they are going to stand after the end of

2:15:15 > 2:15:19March 2019, which is when we will leave the institutions of the

2:15:19 > 2:15:22European Union, so we are doing our job, which we have been set up to

2:15:22 > 2:15:26do.The reason I ask, this is obviously a matter that has been

2:15:26 > 2:15:31given a deadline, it is a process that is extensive, and it appears,

2:15:31 > 2:15:35for example you have asked ministers to publish a white paper on the

2:15:35 > 2:15:38transition period. It appears some of the things you are bringing up

2:15:38 > 2:15:42our slowing down the process.I don't accept that at all. It has

2:15:42 > 2:15:49taken time for the Government in some cases to adopt its policy

2:15:49 > 2:15:52positions because, let's be honest, there have been differences of view

2:15:52 > 2:15:56within the Government about the approach that should be taken. But

2:15:56 > 2:16:00we are all working to a ticking clock. I think asking the Government

2:16:00 > 2:16:05to set out with greater clarity how a transitional period is going to

2:16:05 > 2:16:08work, for example, is not about slowing things down, it is about

2:16:08 > 2:16:12trying to give reassurances to businesses, some of which, as you

2:16:12 > 2:16:15know, are making contingency arrangements because they need to

2:16:15 > 2:16:19guard against the possibility that we might end up with no deal. We

2:16:19 > 2:16:23also say in today's report that we agree with the Chancellor of the

2:16:23 > 2:16:27Exchequer that leaving with no deal would be a very, very bad outcome

2:16:27 > 2:16:32for the United Kingdom. And that, I think, is self-evidently the case.

2:16:32 > 2:16:36So, in saying to the Government that greater clarity is needed, that is

2:16:36 > 2:16:41an effort to move things on because it is uncertainty, as I'm sure you

2:16:41 > 2:16:45appreciate, which is the biggest problem we face at the moment

2:16:45 > 2:16:49because there are lots of people in their jobs, work, industries, the

2:16:49 > 2:16:52service sector, four fifths of the British economy, sitting there

2:16:52 > 2:16:56saying, we know how things work today but we are not sure how things

2:16:56 > 2:17:03will work after March 2019 and how it will operate in the transition

2:17:03 > 2:17:06period, and that is why as much clarity as possible is required and

2:17:06 > 2:17:08that is what the committee is encouraging the Government to

2:17:08 > 2:17:14provide.

2:17:14 > 2:17:17The BBC have spoken to a former Scotland Yard detective who said he

2:17:17 > 2:17:21was shocked by the amount of pornography found on the work

2:17:21 > 2:17:25computer of Damian Green. This evidence has been put forward and

2:17:25 > 2:17:31spoken too to the BBC. Do you think Mr Green should resign?I think if

2:17:31 > 2:17:37anyone has evidence in connection with the inquiry the Cabinet Office

2:17:37 > 2:17:39is currently undertaking, that evidence should be provided to the

2:17:39 > 2:17:43inquiry. I don't think it's right for any of us to prejudge its

2:17:43 > 2:17:48outcome. There is a process, we should allow that process to reach

2:17:48 > 2:17:53its conclusion. I am sure we want to see that dumb as soon as possible,

2:17:53 > 2:17:58but since that inquiry is taking place, I'm not going to comment on

2:17:58 > 2:18:03that. -- it should be done as soon as per the looks.Hilary Benn, thank

2:18:03 > 2:18:10you for joining us. Who would like to see a dog

2:18:10 > 2:18:16frolicking in the snow?

2:18:16 > 2:18:22Truffle the dog from York, who played in it for the first time.

2:18:22 > 2:18:26Brilliant. Who would like to see a weather presenter skating on ice and

2:18:26 > 2:18:32falling over presenting the weather? Definitely not me! I am always last

2:18:32 > 2:18:37in the queue. Good morning. I am at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, on

2:18:37 > 2:18:41ice of course, because it is the start of the meteorological winter.

2:18:41 > 2:18:461st of December, first Day of Advent as well.

2:18:46 > 2:18:50Ice rinks are popping up happened on the country. This one, you can't

2:18:50 > 2:18:54argue with the setting. It is here until the 14th of January. I have

2:18:54 > 2:19:00been looking the forecast for the winter, the next few months from the

2:19:00 > 2:19:03Met office. It looks like the first half of winter will be a bit colder

2:19:03 > 2:19:07than the second half but there is a long way to go and we will keep you

2:19:07 > 2:19:12updated BBC breakfast. A cold start to winter and things are set to

2:19:12 > 2:19:17change over the next few days. Let's take a look at the forecast. This

2:19:17 > 2:19:21weekend it tends not just cloudy but my order as well. The

2:19:21 > 2:19:22weekend it tends not just cloudy but my order as well. The first signs of

2:19:22 > 2:19:25that is this morning in northern Scotland, some patchy rain pushing

2:19:25 > 2:19:32in. The rest of Scotland, a frosty start but funny. A sunny star in

2:19:32 > 2:19:35north-west England as well. To the east of the Pennines in eastern

2:19:35 > 2:19:39England, some showers around. Not quite as snowy as yesterday. A

2:19:39 > 2:19:43little bit of sleet and snow on higher ground. Beware in the next

2:19:43 > 2:19:48hour or so, it could be icy. The wind is not as strong as yesterday.

2:19:48 > 2:19:51Very blowy in East Anglia and the south-east this morning adding to

2:19:51 > 2:19:57the jail, but in the West winds are lighter and other than an isolated

2:19:57 > 2:20:03shower most should have a fine, sunny winter's day. Northern Ireland

2:20:03 > 2:20:07starting funny and frosty. The best of the sunshine for you will be this

2:20:07 > 2:20:11morning. Cloudy as we go through the day and with it the chance of some

2:20:11 > 2:20:15patchy light rain or drizzle. That may make it to north-west England by

2:20:15 > 2:20:20the time we hit the late afternoon, evening. Showers in eastern areas

2:20:20 > 2:20:24will gradually become confined to the coast, particularly East Anglia

2:20:24 > 2:20:28and these. Still windy here, elsewhere the wind slighter, not

2:20:28 > 2:20:31quite as chilly as yesterday, even though temperatures down on where

2:20:31 > 2:20:37they should be for the time year. Still cold out there. With clear

2:20:37 > 2:20:40skies to begin this evening and overnight across England and Wales

2:20:40 > 2:20:44in particular, this is where we are likely to see a frost. Cloud

2:20:44 > 2:20:48increasing in the north, temperatures will rise but any

2:20:48 > 2:20:51breaks in the cloud and temperatures could drop below freezing. Some

2:20:51 > 2:20:55patchy rain and drizzle working southwards, so still the chance of

2:20:55 > 2:21:00some iciness into the start of Saturday morning. Not as chilly as

2:21:00 > 2:21:04the past few mornings, certainly in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

2:21:04 > 2:21:08Saturday, fairly cloudy, some patchy light rain and drizzle, mainly in

2:21:08 > 2:21:11the West and the top and tail of the country, the heaviest of the rain

2:21:11 > 2:21:17will be in Scotland. Not a wash-out, some dry weather as well. Much

2:21:17 > 2:21:20milder across Scotland and Northern Ireland for tomorrow. Still a bit

2:21:20 > 2:21:26chilly, though, to the south and east of England. The milder will be

2:21:26 > 2:21:29with us on Sunday. Quite a bit of cloud to begin with, some patchy

2:21:29 > 2:21:33rain in the West but most will have a dry day on Sunday and compared to

2:21:33 > 2:21:36Saturday, a little bit brighter. Once the brightness breaks through

2:21:36 > 2:21:42the cloud, temperatures up to 10-11. It looks like the milder air coming

2:21:42 > 2:21:46off the Atlantic will continue with us into the start of next week as

2:21:46 > 2:21:50well. But certainly at the moment got my a cold enough start to the

2:21:50 > 2:21:55first meteorological day of winter, and an enjoyable start with a

2:21:55 > 2:21:56weather man

2:21:56 > 2:21:58and an enjoyable start with a weather man still on his feet!So

2:21:58 > 2:22:02disappointing. Someone is upset with you, Brendan in bold has e-mailed

2:22:02 > 2:22:07us. Please no more confusion in telling people winter starts today.

2:22:07 > 2:22:12He says it starts on the 21st of December.

2:22:12 > 2:22:16That is why I have always mentioned is the meteorological start. As

2:22:16 > 2:22:22whether folk we compare the seasons in three-month chunks which helps us

2:22:22 > 2:22:26compare data. To be honest, in my opinion, it is nature that tells us

2:22:26 > 2:22:30when the season starts rather than a particular day. And in the last few

2:22:30 > 2:22:35days, it has felt like winter! October, that's when it started.

2:22:35 > 2:22:39LAUGHTER Thank you. It does look chilly.

2:22:39 > 2:22:47Let's go from a chilly Matt to a lovely roaring fire out in the open

2:22:47 > 2:22:51with marshmallows being roasted. We have been lucky enough to invited to

2:22:51 > 2:22:54a school this morning in Wythenshawe. All part of our series

2:22:54 > 2:23:02this week looking at children with special educational needs. Nikki is

2:23:02 > 2:23:07there warming herself by the fire for us.Yes, normally I am

2:23:07 > 2:23:10permanently frozen, even in the summer but I'm keeping lovely and

2:23:10 > 2:23:14toasty by the fire, toasting marshmallows. A couple have gone up

2:23:14 > 2:23:19in flames but we have put them out, it's all fine! This has to be about

2:23:19 > 2:23:22the caller school I have ever been in my life. I don't know if you can

2:23:22 > 2:23:27CB Hyndman, but they've got some fantastic ports where the pupils

2:23:27 > 2:23:34stay overnight. -- I don't know if you can see behind me. I would show

2:23:34 > 2:23:39you around but I don't trust you my driving skills and there is a fire.

2:23:39 > 2:23:46We have some of the young people here that go to Private Hill High.

2:23:46 > 2:23:52We have been having a little chat, will you tell me why this place is

2:23:52 > 2:23:58so special? You have camped here overnight, haven't you?Do you like

2:23:58 > 2:24:07it, what did you like about the pods?Yeah, overnight.What kind of

2:24:07 > 2:24:13stuff do you enjoy doing in the pods, do you like the fire?Make the

2:24:13 > 2:24:20fire, cooking marshmallows.Who doesn't love that?! Do you have lots

2:24:20 > 2:24:26of friends?Yes.It's like having cool sleepovers. Fun times. Daniel,

2:24:26 > 2:24:35hello. Daniel, what sort of stuff do you do here? What do you enjoy?I

2:24:35 > 2:24:47enjoy the fire.How do you make the fire?You actually liked it?Light a

2:24:47 > 2:24:54flint.Flint. That is a very impressive. I've seen I'm A

2:24:54 > 2:24:57Celebrity and they can't do that there! Were other stuff do you like

2:24:57 > 2:25:05doing?Building the hammocks. Building the hammocks. This is the

2:25:05 > 2:25:08coolest place! You are far too young for this, Daniel, but what do you

2:25:08 > 2:25:14want to do when you get older?A chef.Are you going to cook me some

2:25:14 > 2:25:24breakfast later on? Lovely speaking to you. Sian you are the assistant

2:25:24 > 2:25:27head, why do you need places like this?It's a great opportunity for

2:25:27 > 2:25:32our students to have access to educational experiences and also

2:25:32 > 2:25:35work on their social skills and develop their life skills. With

2:25:35 > 2:25:39having a Forest School area, it gives the opportunity to use their

2:25:39 > 2:25:42skills they have learned in the classroom and apply it to the

2:25:42 > 2:25:48outdoor world.A really unique place. I imagine a lot of parents

2:25:48 > 2:25:52with children would love their kids to go somewhere like this, a mix of

2:25:52 > 2:25:56the curriculum but also activities like staying over in the heart.Yes,

2:25:56 > 2:26:01parents have been fabulous, we have parents that he, the PDSA, we try to

2:26:01 > 2:26:04make sure it's not just about the students but their families as well.

2:26:04 > 2:26:08It has been a really positive experience for us.Thank you. I

2:26:08 > 2:26:14think I am going to set up a hammock and have a little goes, I was up

2:26:14 > 2:26:254am! Back to you.At least get marshmallows, come on, don't

2:26:25 > 2:26:27complain Nikki, it's all good.I know, I'm not. I'm going to start

2:26:27 > 2:26:31eating those soon.They get hot soon, be careful! Louise is there

2:26:31 > 2:26:34with Nikki and they will be talking about communication, how important

2:26:34 > 2:26:40it is. They have special rooms, Jane has been in a sensory room which is

2:26:40 > 2:26:44a lot of the pupils understand how to communicate and also be calm

2:26:44 > 2:26:48often in a busy world. Lots of people getting in touch this

2:26:48 > 2:26:53morning, not only talking about the staff, people talking about the

2:26:53 > 2:26:56staff and a lot of praise for them but we met some real characters down

2:26:56 > 2:27:01there. More from Louisa Lytton later on this morning. Time to get the

2:27:01 > 2:30:19news weather and travel weight you are,

2:30:19 > 2:30:22Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

2:30:22 > 2:30:23Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga.

2:30:23 > 2:30:27Bye for now.

2:30:27 > 2:30:33Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

2:30:33 > 2:30:35It is 8:30am.

2:30:35 > 2:30:36First, our main story.

2:30:36 > 2:30:39A former Scotland Yard detective has told BBC News he was shocked

2:30:39 > 2:30:41by the amount of pornography on a Parliamentary computer

2:30:41 > 2:30:44seized from the office of the First Secretary of State,

2:30:44 > 2:30:45Damian Green.

2:30:45 > 2:30:47Mr Green has denied looking at pornography at work.

2:30:47 > 2:30:49Neil Lewis, a computer forensics specialist, examined the device

2:30:49 > 2:30:52during an inquiry into Government leaks in 2008.

2:30:52 > 2:30:54He's now retired, and he spoke to our home affairs

2:30:54 > 2:30:58correspondent Danny Shaw.

2:30:58 > 2:31:00How can you be sure that it was Damian Green

2:31:00 > 2:31:04who was accessing pornography?

2:31:04 > 2:31:07There's sort of a phrase, "You can't put fingers on a keyboard."

2:31:07 > 2:31:11So I can't say that, but...

2:31:11 > 2:31:16The computer was in Mr Green's office on his desk,

2:31:16 > 2:31:20logged in, you know, to his account, his name.

2:31:20 > 2:31:26In between browsing pornography he was sending

2:31:26 > 2:31:29e-mails from his account, his personal account.

2:31:29 > 2:31:35Reading documents, writing documents.

2:31:38 > 2:31:40Health inspectors have ordered a review of all NHS radiology

2:31:40 > 2:31:42services in England, after a hospital in Portsmouth

2:31:42 > 2:31:45failed to spot three cases of lung cancer.

2:31:45 > 2:31:47The investigation by the Care Quality Commission found

2:31:47 > 2:31:50that 20,000 scans had not been assessed correctly at

2:31:50 > 2:31:52the Queen Alexandra Hospital, and that junior doctors had been

2:31:52 > 2:31:57left to interpret the results without the appropriate training.

2:31:57 > 2:32:00The trust has apologised to the families affected.

2:32:00 > 2:32:03The Royal Bank of Scotland has announced it's to close 259

2:32:03 > 2:32:06branches across the UK, meaning 680 job losses

2:32:06 > 2:32:09across the company. The banks says it's due to more

2:32:09 > 2:32:13customers using mobile or online techology.

2:32:13 > 2:32:15The number of customers using branches has fallen

2:32:15 > 2:32:18by 40% since 2014.

2:32:18 > 2:32:21The location of those branches is unknown and will be

2:32:21 > 2:32:23revealed later this morning, but affected staff have

2:32:23 > 2:32:27already been told.

2:32:27 > 2:32:29MPs scrutinising the Government's Brexit plans says border controls

2:32:29 > 2:32:32between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic

2:32:32 > 2:32:34are inevitable if the UK leaves the EU single market

2:32:34 > 2:32:37and customs union.

2:32:37 > 2:32:40The Commons Brexit Committee says ministers have failed to explain how

2:32:40 > 2:32:42the issue can be resolved and that the proposals

2:32:42 > 2:32:45they've come up with, such as the use of technology,

2:32:45 > 2:32:48are untested and speculative.

2:32:48 > 2:32:51Survivors and those who lost loved ones in the Grenfell fire say

2:32:51 > 2:32:54the public inquiry into the disaster will be a whitewash

2:32:54 > 2:32:58unless a diverse panel is appointed to oversee the proceedings.

2:32:58 > 2:33:00The Government says the process is ongoing, but campaigners

2:33:00 > 2:33:03are urging the Prime Minister to intervene and say the chairman,

2:33:03 > 2:33:06Sir Martin Moore Bick, should sit with a range of people

2:33:06 > 2:33:10who understand the issues facing those affected by the disaster.

2:33:10 > 2:33:13The Argentine navy has abandoned efforts to rescue the 44 crew

2:33:13 > 2:33:18members of a submarine that disappeared two weeks ago.

2:33:18 > 2:33:20Thousands of people have been involved in the search

2:33:20 > 2:33:23for the San Juan, covering a 40,000 square kilometre area

2:33:23 > 2:33:25of the South Atlantic.

2:33:25 > 2:33:31The authorities say they will still try to locate the wreckage.

2:33:31 > 2:33:35Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to carry out their first joint

2:33:35 > 2:33:37official visit later. The couple, who announced

2:33:37 > 2:33:40their engagement on Monday, will meet members of the public

2:33:40 > 2:33:45at a charity fair and a school in Nottingham later.

2:33:45 > 2:33:55They're due to get married at Windsor Castle in May.

2:33:56 > 2:34:00Those are the main stories. Mike is here with the sport, is the World

2:34:00 > 2:34:03Cup draw happening later this morning?

2:34:03 > 2:34:07No, this afternoon. All the teams and fans from around the world can

2:34:07 > 2:34:12look at the maps of fresh it to plan their journeys. The flights they

2:34:12 > 2:34:16will take, the sleeper trains -- can look at the maps of Russia. We have

2:34:16 > 2:34:2111 time zones in one country. It is not just who you draw, it is where

2:34:21 > 2:34:33you are drawn. You could be travelling 10,000 miles. Gary

2:34:33 > 2:34:39Lineker will be live at the Kremlin. It is on the BBC at 3pm. We have

2:34:39 > 2:34:43been trying to come up with the best and worst scenarios. Here are some

2:34:43 > 2:34:48pictures of the draw getting ready outside the Kremlin.

2:34:48 > 2:34:53In the rehearsals England drew Brazil twice in Argentina once, you

2:34:53 > 2:34:58might think Russia are in the best case scenario, they are the lowest

2:34:58 > 2:35:01ranked team in this competition, but they are in the pot of top seeds

2:35:01 > 2:35:06because they are the hosts, and Senegal and Saudi Arabia are not

2:35:06 > 2:35:11looking too good on current form. The worst-case scenario, the world

2:35:11 > 2:35:17number one team Germany, Costa Rica who helped put England out of the

2:35:17 > 2:35:20last World Cup Nigeria. But to play against Russia on their

2:35:20 > 2:35:24home turf in the early stages of the World Cup would be hard?

2:35:24 > 2:35:28Hosts always have a bit of an advantage and an incentive with the

2:35:28 > 2:35:32crowds, but they have been so poor. They have not qualified in any

2:35:32 > 2:35:36competitive matches for a while. Google we have had the debate about

2:35:36 > 2:35:40whether you want to see England play really good competitive football or

2:35:40 > 2:35:45have easy right? Or just get through, which has

2:35:45 > 2:35:49proven difficult in recent times. The Russian authorities are

2:35:49 > 2:35:52hoping... They say computers will make sure that the draw grows

2:35:52 > 2:35:57smoothly. It is like the Eurovision Song Contest, lots of singing and

2:35:57 > 2:36:02dancing. Let's remind you of 1982, when it went badly wrong. Belgium

2:36:02 > 2:36:06and Scotland were placed in the wrong sort of the board and it

2:36:06 > 2:36:11descended into what you could only describe as toe curling farce.

2:36:11 > 2:36:16And the ball is taken back. Sensation is much overused word in

2:36:16 > 2:36:21sport, there is some possibility of a redraw.

2:36:21 > 2:36:26Also we have a broken ball, as well as a problem cage.

2:36:26 > 2:36:30Our own FA councillors have been accused of dropping a ball or tee in

2:36:30 > 2:36:37the past but I do not think we have seen anything surpass that.

2:36:37 > 2:36:41Balls came apart inside the cage, the Cage broke, Belgium and Scotland

2:36:41 > 2:36:47were drawn in the wrong parts of the draw. It was all confusing.

2:36:47 > 2:36:51Argentina and Brazil with October, they had to put a ball back and

2:36:51 > 2:36:55redraw. Is there a cage involved today?

2:36:55 > 2:36:59Glass bowls, we have seen them in rehearsal. It looks neater than the

2:36:59 > 2:37:05old cage, which is problematic. So it is not a computer?A computer

2:37:05 > 2:37:10helps make sure teams are not put in the wrong place. There can be more

2:37:10 > 2:37:14than two European teams in the same pool, if you like, so many rules. --

2:37:14 > 2:37:18there cannot be more than two European teams.

2:37:18 > 2:37:20This time tomorrow we'll all be talking about

2:37:20 > 2:37:23the Rugby League World Cup final, and will be building up to England v

2:37:23 > 2:37:24Australia, here on Breakfast.

2:37:24 > 2:37:27And overnight we've heard the big news that England's captain

2:37:27 > 2:37:29Sean O'Loughlin has been ruled out with a thigh strain.

2:37:29 > 2:37:35Sam Burgess will lead the side.

2:37:35 > 2:37:36He has experience, thankfully.

2:37:36 > 2:37:39He captained England in last year's, Four Nations series,

2:37:39 > 2:37:42and assistant coach Dennis Betts said Burgess was a doer and a leader

2:37:42 > 2:37:46and the natural replacement.

2:37:46 > 2:37:50In recent years it has been Australia or New Zealand winning the

2:37:50 > 2:37:53World Cup. England will be the underdogs tomorrow. It starts live

2:37:53 > 2:37:57on the BBC at 9am tomorrow. Sometimes coming in as an underdog

2:37:57 > 2:38:01is good.I agree. Thank you, Mike.

2:38:01 > 2:38:03All this week on Breakfast we've been discussing

2:38:03 > 2:38:05special educational needs, looking at the challenges faced

2:38:05 > 2:38:13by disabled children and their families.

2:38:13 > 2:38:18We are lucky to have been invited to Piper Hill high school in

2:38:18 > 2:38:21Wythenshawe, a remarkable place. Lewies has been there through the

2:38:21 > 2:38:28morning to meet some rather inspirational young people.

2:38:28 > 2:38:33Thank you both so much. Good morning. Charlie, you are right, it

2:38:33 > 2:38:38has been inspiring to be here all day. We have been inspired here on

2:38:38 > 2:38:43Breakfast buy all your messages from parents, teachers, carers, whoever

2:38:43 > 2:38:46it might be, who have engaged with us over the subject of special

2:38:46 > 2:38:50educational needs over the last week. Thank you for those questions.

2:38:50 > 2:38:55I will talk about that over the next half-hour, before we do the next

2:38:55 > 2:39:06thing I want to introduce you to Linda Jones, the head teacher here.

2:39:06 > 2:39:08Diane is herewith Josh, one of the classroom assistants. We will talk

2:39:08 > 2:39:10about him in a moment. Jonathan Bartley is joint leader of the

2:39:10 > 2:39:13greens and has personal experience of this, he has a son with special

2:39:13 > 2:39:15educational needs, and Graham Robson, a head teacher at another

2:39:15 > 2:39:19special school. We have so much to discuss. What has been striking is

2:39:19 > 2:39:24that this is a school where things are the same but a bit different. We

2:39:24 > 2:39:26know from our responses and investigations that many parents

2:39:26 > 2:39:31would like their children to come to a school like this in England. In

2:39:31 > 2:39:36Scotland there is also an emphasis on mainstreaming of children, Lorna

2:39:36 > 2:39:39Gordon has investigated what that means and what it is like.

2:39:39 > 2:39:40# Hark the herald angels sing...

2:39:40 > 2:39:44It's morning at the Juniper Green Primary School in Edinburgh.

2:39:44 > 2:39:47On the timetable for these children in the fourth year of primary -

2:39:47 > 2:39:50music, spelling, story time...

2:39:51 > 2:39:55..And their daily mile of exercise.

2:39:55 > 2:39:57Ewan, who has cerebral palsy, takes part in all of

2:39:57 > 2:39:59the classes and activities.

2:39:59 > 2:40:01He has really good friends here.

2:40:01 > 2:40:02What's her name?

2:40:02 > 2:40:03Phoebe.

2:40:03 > 2:40:04That's Phoebe?

2:40:04 > 2:40:07And he has one-to-one help throughout the school day.

2:40:07 > 2:40:09You and Ewan spend a lot of time together?

2:40:09 > 2:40:11We're together quite a lot.

2:40:11 > 2:40:13We're together every morning and we've been together every

2:40:13 > 2:40:14morning for about three years.

2:40:14 > 2:40:16I get a lot back from Ewan.

2:40:16 > 2:40:19He is a happy wee boy and he enjoys himself at school.

2:40:19 > 2:40:21In Scotland, the aim is to keep children with additional support

2:40:21 > 2:40:24needs in mainstream schools.

2:40:24 > 2:40:27In England, there's been an increase in special schools and fewer

2:40:27 > 2:40:30children kept in mainstream ones.

2:40:30 > 2:40:34Ewan's mum Jane says the Scottish system has worked well for her son.

2:40:34 > 2:40:37It has given him a sense of belonging to his community

2:40:37 > 2:40:42and a sense of worth and respect.

2:40:42 > 2:40:43He's with his brother and sister.

2:40:43 > 2:40:46His independence has increased.

2:40:46 > 2:40:47And he really seems to enjoy it?

2:40:47 > 2:40:49Loves school.

2:40:49 > 2:40:52The teachers here believe the policy of inclusiveness is good for Ewan

2:40:52 > 2:40:56and for everyone else in the school, too.

2:40:56 > 2:40:58It's been lovely seeing him grow, flourish and develop

2:40:58 > 2:41:01in his time here.

2:41:01 > 2:41:05And I think for the children that are within his class,

2:41:05 > 2:41:07they benefit hugely, learning to understand sort

2:41:07 > 2:41:09of different disabilities and different needs and that

2:41:09 > 2:41:13children are all the same on the inside.

2:41:13 > 2:41:15A quarter of children in Scotland have what's called

2:41:15 > 2:41:17here additional support needs.

2:41:17 > 2:41:20In England it's around one in seven.

2:41:20 > 2:41:23But there's a much broader definition here,

2:41:23 > 2:41:26which includes family circumstances, health, disability.

2:41:26 > 2:41:29And though the number receiving extra help in Scotland has

2:41:29 > 2:41:31in recent years gone up, the number of specialist support

2:41:31 > 2:41:34teachers has dropped.

2:41:34 > 2:41:36There absolutely is a squeeze and there is pressure

2:41:36 > 2:41:38on the workforce in schools to meet the broad range of

2:41:38 > 2:41:42needs of their pupils.

2:41:42 > 2:41:44But there's also exceptionally good practice, so it's the exceptionally

2:41:44 > 2:41:49good practice taking place that we need to really learn from.

2:41:49 > 2:41:52These mums, who take their children to The Yard, an adventure play

2:41:52 > 2:41:54centre for disabled children, told me their priority

2:41:54 > 2:41:58is the right to choose.

2:41:58 > 2:42:01I want an autism school for my son, which has those small classes

2:42:01 > 2:42:04of about six that he will get the best education,

2:42:04 > 2:42:07because at the moment when he is in a mainstream

2:42:07 > 2:42:11environment he is depressive and he is overwhelmed.

2:42:11 > 2:42:14For our daughter, it was clear that she got a lot

2:42:14 > 2:42:16more from mainstream because what they were offering

2:42:16 > 2:42:20was more appropriate to how she learns and what she wanted

2:42:20 > 2:42:21to learn about.

2:42:21 > 2:42:23The Scottish Government says children should be schooled

2:42:23 > 2:42:25where their needs are best met, either in special schools

2:42:25 > 2:42:28or mainstream ones.

2:42:28 > 2:42:30The local school has worked out well for Ewan.

2:42:30 > 2:42:37His family wouldn't want it any other way.

2:42:42 > 2:42:47It is wonderful to see you in clearly enjoying school. I want to

2:42:47 > 2:42:52pick up on some of those themes, particularly the right to choose

2:42:52 > 2:42:56that was mentioned. Linda, you are a head teacher. Tell us a bit about

2:42:56 > 2:43:03the pupils who are here?They are aged 11 to 19 with very significant

2:43:03 > 2:43:06learning difficulties and associated other difficulties as well.

2:43:06 > 2:43:12You have talked about celebrating difference.That is our core

2:43:12 > 2:43:16purpose, celebrate difference, make sure every student makes outstanding

2:43:16 > 2:43:20progress and we really, really try to look up the steps of learning and

2:43:20 > 2:43:23the wider curriculum to prepare students with their families for

2:43:23 > 2:43:28when students leave school.It has been an amazing experience to be

2:43:28 > 2:43:32here today. Some parents are finding it difficult to get to places like

2:43:32 > 2:43:35this, how do the children get a place here?

2:43:35 > 2:43:40Students get a place here via the local authority. Many students have

2:43:40 > 2:43:43come maybe from mainstream schools, and one of the things we really

2:43:43 > 2:43:46understand the parents is it is really good that they have a right

2:43:46 > 2:43:51to choose whether it is mainstream special. They know their child the

2:43:51 > 2:43:56best. -- whether it is mainstream or special. I have been here for 30

2:43:56 > 2:44:01years, it is very important to take on those parents' wishes.

2:44:01 > 2:44:05Dan, thank you for bringing in Josh. It is a bit like Gogglebox, we would

2:44:05 > 2:44:13like on the sofa. -- like him on the sofa. As well as being joint leader

2:44:13 > 2:44:16of the Green Party you have your own experience of special educational

2:44:16 > 2:44:22needs from your son Sam.He is powered wheelchair user, he has

2:44:22 > 2:44:25differentiated curriculum at a mainstream school, has a smaller

2:44:25 > 2:44:29nurture Parton joins other classes. You talked about choice, every

2:44:29 > 2:44:34parent wants an education that works for child. Every parent should have

2:44:34 > 2:44:38the opportunity for a mainstream education that works for their

2:44:38 > 2:44:42child, whatever their child's challenges and difficulties. There

2:44:42 > 2:44:45are problems of funding across the board, every school is being

2:44:45 > 2:44:51squeezed very hard in the current context of cuts. And the mainstream

2:44:51 > 2:44:54education is becoming increasingly academically focused rather than the

2:44:54 > 2:44:58flourishing of children generally, meeting emotional intelligence, the

2:44:58 > 2:45:02ability to relate. We have a very narrow focus, which excludes many

2:45:02 > 2:45:06children and parents find they have no option except to go to a special

2:45:06 > 2:45:11school or home. It was imported to you that he went

2:45:11 > 2:45:15to a mainstream school, why has it made a difference?It has made a

2:45:15 > 2:45:18difference to him and to the children at the school as well. At

2:45:18 > 2:45:22his primary school, when he, in inverted commas, run the hundred

2:45:22 > 2:45:26metres with his other classmates, that was the first time in that

2:45:26 > 2:45:30school that everyone realise the taking part mattered, not winning.

2:45:30 > 2:45:33As parents we like to see it is great to see kids take part but we

2:45:33 > 2:45:37like them to win, when he took part in sports dazedly people realise it

2:45:37 > 2:45:43is much more than the trophy, it is taking part, the relationships.That

2:45:43 > 2:45:48was a seminal moment for him and everybody watching?A hugely

2:45:48 > 2:45:52significant moment and the result was in subsequent sports days

2:45:52 > 2:45:57Paralympic sports were introduced, there was a rich education. When we

2:45:57 > 2:45:59include children and don't segregate, when we get everyone

2:45:59 > 2:46:05together we all benefit.

2:46:05 > 2:46:09Graham Robson, you are headteacher of a special school in Crawley. What

2:46:09 > 2:46:14are you facing at the moment?I would concur with everything that

2:46:14 > 2:46:17has been said already around the aspiration of parents and how they

2:46:17 > 2:46:21would like to choose. The trouble is the right to choose the right

2:46:21 > 2:46:23provision is being compromised in some areas of the country by a

2:46:23 > 2:46:28chronic lack of funding. I run a school in west Sussex which is the

2:46:28 > 2:46:32third lowest funded authority in the country. Special schools are not

2:46:32 > 2:46:36part of the National funding formula, so whatever small increases

2:46:36 > 2:46:40in mainstream schools are getting, we won't get any increase at all. I

2:46:40 > 2:46:44am already at the stage where my staffing is so low because of the

2:46:44 > 2:46:47cuts I've had to make over the last three years that I'm now in the

2:46:47 > 2:46:52position of having to phone parents up and say, on an individual basis,

2:46:52 > 2:46:59if we have key members of staff out, I can't have your son or daughter in

2:46:59 > 2:47:03today and I am sorry.Which has a massive impact on them, presumably?

2:47:03 > 2:47:07A massive impact and I take my responsibility as a public service

2:47:07 > 2:47:13-- is a public servant very seriously to provide the best

2:47:13 > 2:47:16education we can.You are on the front line and that can have

2:47:16 > 2:47:21physical implications at times as well, can't it?Absolutely. I

2:47:21 > 2:47:25suppose one of our concerns at the moment that the squeeze on our

2:47:25 > 2:47:28funding is making the word risk much more prominent in my mind. A couple

2:47:28 > 2:47:34of years ago I was working with some staff with an autistic youngster and

2:47:34 > 2:47:39I was knocked out. I was taken to hospital in an ambulance. Since that

2:47:39 > 2:47:44time, we have taken on more youngsters and our budget has been

2:47:44 > 2:47:49cut by £70,000 per year so I am going into work at the moment not

2:47:49 > 2:47:51quite sure whether today is the day that something is going to happen

2:47:51 > 2:47:56that's going to put me on the front page of the newspapers.Which is, I

2:47:56 > 2:48:01mean, I don't even know how to respond to that.But an enormous

2:48:01 > 2:48:06amount of responsibility. I feel the responsibility for my staff who are

2:48:06 > 2:48:09doing an incredible job trying to make up the gaps in staffing that I

2:48:09 > 2:48:16am having to tell them we haven't got any choice over.We have asked

2:48:16 > 2:48:18for a government minister repeatedly over the last few weeks and they

2:48:18 > 2:48:23haven't heard anybody up to talk to us, even though we have, as we have

2:48:23 > 2:48:27said on the programme, asked repeatedly. We do have a quote from

2:48:27 > 2:48:31them about funding go from the Department for Education. They say

2:48:31 > 2:48:34they have fundamentally reformed the special needs education system to

2:48:34 > 2:48:39put families at its heart, backed by over £250 million investment to

2:48:39 > 2:48:44support local authorities. They are talking about there is more money?

2:48:44 > 2:48:47But it's not being distributed fairly. West Sussex has been told

2:48:47 > 2:48:51they won't get any more money in their higher needs block for the

2:48:51 > 2:48:56next three years. The reason West Sussex spent so much money on higher

2:48:56 > 2:48:58needs is because mainstream schools have been chronically underfunded

2:48:58 > 2:49:03for so long that as we have just been discussing about the need for

2:49:03 > 2:49:06inclusive education, West Sussex schools do not have the capacity to

2:49:06 > 2:49:10do this.You seem to be saying this is a postcode lottery. We are trying

2:49:10 > 2:49:19to get a response.Is that what is happening in some ways? There is an

2:49:19 > 2:49:21element of that. Let's remind ourselves what we have just heard.

2:49:21 > 2:49:24We have heard their rascals having to send their peoples home because

2:49:24 > 2:49:29they do not have enough money. -- we have heard there are schools having

2:49:29 > 2:49:33to send their students home because they do not have enough money. That

2:49:33 > 2:49:37is absolutely shocking in the 21st century. There are regional

2:49:37 > 2:49:41variations but it is coming from the top down.We did ask them whether

2:49:41 > 2:49:45that money is ring fenced, guaranteed to be spent only in this

2:49:45 > 2:49:50area, and they said no to that. We will continue, we have been so

2:49:50 > 2:49:54impressed with our audience here, we will continue asking questions.

2:49:54 > 2:49:59Shall we talk about the dog? Because he is here and we all love him. What

2:49:59 > 2:50:06is the purpose of having a therapy dog?Because a therapeutic purpose.

2:50:06 > 2:50:12For many students, they are very calming, and for other students, it

2:50:12 > 2:50:15is very important for them to overcome phobias so they can live a

2:50:15 > 2:50:20life where they can go out onto the street and walked past a dog.You

2:50:20 > 2:50:26have one girl who couldn't leave the house because she was so frightened?

2:50:26 > 2:50:29Yes, she can travel independently but you are so frightened of dogs

2:50:29 > 2:50:33she couldn't. Over two years, she began to tolerate the dog and that

2:50:33 > 2:50:38can now get to school independently on her own on the bus.Thank you

2:50:38 > 2:50:43very much. Diane, I haven't spoken to you, but thank you very much for

2:50:43 > 2:50:47bringing him in. We will continue the discussion and hear more about

2:50:47 > 2:50:50what it is like living at home with a child with special educational

2:50:50 > 2:50:52needs every day. First though, the weather with

2:50:52 > 2:50:58needs every day. First though, the weather with Matt. Thanks, Louise.

2:50:58 > 2:51:03You can argue with this as a location? I am at Brighton Pavilion

2:51:03 > 2:51:08on ice and I have managed so far to stay successfully on my feet. It is

2:51:08 > 2:51:15the start me to logically speaking as the first day of winter, the 1st

2:51:15 > 2:51:25of December, with eyes across parts of northern England but changes are

2:51:25 > 2:51:31of that. Let's take a look at the forecast this weekend. Turning more

2:51:31 > 2:51:36mild and a good deal more cloudy. Some of the milder weather is coming

2:51:36 > 2:51:41into Scotland at the moment, a bit more cloud around here, but the rest

2:51:41 > 2:51:46of Scotland, sunshine ahead. Sunny start as well across northern

2:51:46 > 2:51:49England and the Pennines. Eight view showers still around this morning,

2:51:49 > 2:51:53mainly of rain now. The temperatures have lifted a bit compared with

2:51:53 > 2:51:57yesterday. There is still a bit of sleet on the hills and the chance of

2:51:57 > 2:52:03ice in one or two spots. The wind is easing down but even here it has got

2:52:03 > 2:52:07quite a chill to it. East Anglia, the south-east soon be strongest of

2:52:07 > 2:52:15the winds today. Lovely sunny day across much of western England and

2:52:15 > 2:52:20Wales. After a frosty start, just one or two very isolated showers.

2:52:20 > 2:52:24Northern Ireland starting sunny as well. Breathe a day, the cloud will

2:52:24 > 2:52:31increase. It's not just in Northern Ireland. Scotland could see a lot

2:52:31 > 2:52:33more cloud as well as we head into the afternoon, with some patchy

2:52:33 > 2:52:38light rain and drizzle. The cloud will thicken up later in the day

2:52:38 > 2:52:43across the far north of England, but with showers in the east fading

2:52:43 > 2:52:50away, probably confined to coastal districts, temperatures will be up a

2:52:50 > 2:52:55degree or two on yesterday, but wherever you are, it is still a

2:52:55 > 2:53:01chilly day. Overnight, frosts could form very quickly that temperatures

2:53:01 > 2:53:05will rise overnight as cloud spreads its way southwards bringing rain

2:53:05 > 2:53:10here and there. A few breaks in the cloud will send it back close to

2:53:10 > 2:53:14freezing meaning there could be a little frost and ice around for one

2:53:14 > 2:53:18or two as we start Saturday morning. The milder weather is on its way but

2:53:18 > 2:53:23it will take awhile. Saturday starts cloudier than the last few days. The

2:53:23 > 2:53:26top and tail of the country most likely to see rain and drizzle

2:53:26 > 2:53:37around. Milder air at this stage only confined to Scotland, Northern

2:53:37 > 2:53:42Ireland and maybe western England and Wales. For all of us vote on

2:53:42 > 2:53:48Sunday, milder air in place. Maybe some drizzle across the west, most

2:53:48 > 2:53:54having a dry day on Sunday, and a bright one to the east of high

2:53:54 > 2:53:57ground with sunny spells. Temperatures up to a high of 11

2:53:57 > 2:54:01degrees. That is how it is looking. It stays mild into next week. We

2:54:01 > 2:54:07will have more from Monday but from the Brighton Pavilion for now, have

2:54:07 > 2:54:10a great weekend. Back to you, Louise.

2:54:10 > 2:54:13a great weekend. Back to you, Louise. Thank you very much for that

2:54:13 > 2:54:17and thank you all for joining us. We will talk now about what it is like

2:54:17 > 2:54:22to live with a child with special needs. John Paul Horsley from the

2:54:22 > 2:54:30band Big Brother is, thank you for joining us, Tanya, thank you for

2:54:30 > 2:54:34joining us, you have a website called special-needs jungle, and

2:54:34 > 2:54:39your son Giorgio. And George Baylis. George, we will start with you. You

2:54:39 > 2:54:48have twin boys.I do. One has classic autism and one has a working

2:54:48 > 2:54:53diagnosis of autism. Both have sensory disorders as well and speech

2:54:53 > 2:54:58and language issues. That was diagnosed early for us, at about two

2:54:58 > 2:55:04and a half years, they are now five, so we have been working to exist and

2:55:04 > 2:55:10function within a school.How would you describe daily life?

2:55:10 > 2:55:16Challenging. One of the issues with autism that comes along is that

2:55:16 > 2:55:20sleep is disturbed. My son who is disabled by his differences will

2:55:20 > 2:55:25typically sleep between four and six hours a day in total and that is

2:55:25 > 2:55:29broken sleep, so it can be two hours here, four hours here, so my wife

2:55:29 > 2:55:33and I take it intends to deal with him through the night and try to

2:55:33 > 2:55:36keep the rest of the household as well able to sleep and function

2:55:36 > 2:55:40throughout the day. That is quite challenging, especially for him,

2:55:40 > 2:55:49because obviously when you are tired, you are more. Your behaviour

2:55:49 > 2:55:51is not as good and your ability to function and processes also affected

2:55:51 > 2:55:56by that. It kind of compounds his autism.I can see both of you to

2:55:56 > 2:56:00parents nodding. Shall I come to you, Tanya. You have got two sons.

2:56:00 > 2:56:10Please tell us about them. Luke and Giorgio. Luke is nearly 20 Giorgio

2:56:10 > 2:56:18is 18. They both have autism, as Burgess as it was. It was clear to

2:56:18 > 2:56:22me that there was something different about them but lots of

2:56:22 > 2:56:29people said, well, you know, they are just young. But we knew. They

2:56:29 > 2:56:34ended up from mainstream, where they weren't thriving, into an

2:56:34 > 2:56:38independent specialist school which was fantastic for them and Giorgio

2:56:38 > 2:56:43is now at university, and his brother. Which is just great news.

2:56:43 > 2:56:50Jean-Paul, tell us about your son. My son is called Richard Michael,

2:56:50 > 2:56:59and he has classic autism. He is nonverbal and are currently at a

2:56:59 > 2:57:04specialist school in London and doing really well. He was previously

2:57:04 > 2:57:09at a mainstream school where he was deemed as not being able to be

2:57:09 > 2:57:15educated, so he was moved and we fought for him. Now he has moved, he

2:57:15 > 2:57:20has come along leaps and bounds, so it was a good decision to move him,

2:57:20 > 2:57:23for sure.What is striking, listening to everything and reading

2:57:23 > 2:57:29all the e-mails, everyone who has gotten in contact, it is the pride,

2:57:29 > 2:57:33the love for their children and there are so many people out there

2:57:33 > 2:57:38fighting.You just mention that as well. Definitely. When Richard was

2:57:38 > 2:57:42diagnosed, I left the music industry, I had music contracts in

2:57:42 > 2:57:47place but I asked everyone to leave me alone so I could focus on my son.

2:57:47 > 2:57:51It might have had an adverse effect on my career but my family life is

2:57:51 > 2:57:56so much better, so I am happy I made the right decision.Go on, you were

2:57:56 > 2:58:02studying to become a lawyer?Yes, the year the boys were born I passed

2:58:02 > 2:58:09my law degree with honours and I was on my way to certification. That is

2:58:09 > 2:58:12when the sleep became the problem and the problem is compounded and I

2:58:12 > 2:58:20wasn't able to do that. But I have been able to work with a charity who

2:58:20 > 2:58:23provides legal advice to parents to help them get a functional plan.

2:58:23 > 2:58:29They does same to be a groundswell -- seem to be a groundswell of

2:58:29 > 2:58:35support for this and you are part of that, Tanya?Yes, I started my

2:58:35 > 2:58:38website to explain, and I am a journalist by profession, which I

2:58:38 > 2:58:43had to give up.I am sitting here with three parents and you have all

2:58:43 > 2:58:48effectively had to give up on your careers cutter and your wife as

2:58:48 > 2:58:52well? Go on, Tanya.You started your website. Because I didn't have as

2:58:52 > 2:58:56big fight as many parents I knew whose children were far more

2:58:56 > 2:59:02disabled than my own and because I'd set about writing it as a report,

2:59:02 > 2:59:06looking at any areas where they might argue with me, effectively

2:59:06 > 2:59:10cutting them off, I thought, OK, I'm going to write this down to help

2:59:10 > 2:59:14other parents and it's just grown over the years and now we have about

2:59:14 > 2:59:21150,000 views a month. 23,000 likes on Facebook. It's really taken off

2:59:21 > 2:59:26and what we are hearing is that far from being made better since the

2:59:26 > 2:59:30reforms we have been talking about, it is actually worse for very many

2:59:30 > 2:59:34people. Parents are losing support when they have been promised by the

2:59:34 > 2:59:42Minister himself that it wouldn't happen, but it has happened.

2:59:42 > 2:59:46John Paul, I see you nodding. Definitely, as far as support goes

2:59:46 > 2:59:51there is not a lot out there. Over the years it has been less and less

2:59:51 > 2:59:55and less. As a parent I have seen lots of the cuts and how it has

2:59:55 > 3:00:00affected my family in particular. I know lots of people at home are not

3:00:00 > 3:00:05as privileged as myself. So I am able to afford the support if I

3:00:05 > 3:00:10cannot get it for free or whatever. Lots of other parents are not in

3:00:10 > 3:00:15opposition.Giorgio, you have come through the educational system and

3:00:15 > 3:00:25are at university, how are things going for you?It is great. I get a

3:00:25 > 3:00:32lot of support. I never really felt like an acoustic child. I have been

3:00:32 > 3:00:37able to focus on developing as a person rather than focusing on my

3:00:37 > 3:00:41needs.Which is a really positive message. Another thing, you have all

3:00:41 > 3:00:45had to give up your jobs and the three of you recently have been

3:00:45 > 3:00:51diagnosed with...I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, which is a

3:00:51 > 3:00:57type of autism.Recently? A bug in April, in fact. They would call it

3:00:57 > 3:01:01high functioning autism, I just think makes me Superman because my

3:01:01 > 3:01:07ears and eyes are amazing. Detail, possibly.I am not perfect with

3:01:07 > 3:01:13speech, that is my thing.Add you as well, diagnosed with autism or...?

3:01:13 > 3:01:17The same thing. I kind of knew but it was only when the boys started

3:01:17 > 3:01:28saying you are autistic as well but I thought I would pursue it.I don't

3:01:28 > 3:01:30have a formal diagnosis but when you are talking about you are autistic

3:01:30 > 3:01:33as well, the traits, the Apple does not fall far from the tree and you

3:01:33 > 3:01:37see a lot of the same things in yourself. Testing online, which is

3:01:37 > 3:01:42available for some autism conditions, it is tick, tick, tick.

3:01:42 > 3:01:46That is what makes are so determined.It is really

3:01:46 > 3:01:49inspirational to Choo ball, thank you all for your time. We will come

3:01:49 > 3:01:54back to this in a couple of moments, we will be speaking to Nikki Fox as

3:01:54 > 3:01:58well. Keep e-mailing, but now it is the regional news wherever you

3:01:58 > 3:03:33happen to be watching.

3:03:33 > 3:03:44And back at 1:30pm. See you.

3:03:44 > 3:03:50Welcome back and thank you for watching. We will be talking about

3:03:50 > 3:03:54really positive messages, hopefully, in the next five minutes or so. We

3:03:54 > 3:03:58have Nikki Fox, you will recognise her. How long have you been on the

3:03:58 > 3:04:02programme?Three years now.It is always wonderful to have you here.

3:04:02 > 3:04:11Laura James is a journalist, we can also speak to a maths teacher, Abed,

3:04:11 > 3:04:15one of our viewers, you have been watching this week and you will

3:04:15 > 3:04:20explain why you are here.I have been stammering since I was four,

3:04:20 > 3:04:23struggling to speak since that young age. I have been struggling at

3:04:23 > 3:04:32school to voice my opinion is, or even just putting up my hands. So I

3:04:32 > 3:04:35was told that I might struggle to become a teacher because of my

3:04:35 > 3:04:43stammer. So that put me down for a bit but I did not let it stop me

3:04:43 > 3:04:47from becoming a teacher at a secondary school. As soon as I

3:04:47 > 3:04:54became a teacher the first thing that I wanted to do was run my own

3:04:54 > 3:04:59stammer support sessions. So I work with about ten pupils in my school,

3:04:59 > 3:05:03they have got the same struggle as me. Some of them struggle way more

3:05:03 > 3:05:10than me and some not as much. What we do in these sessions, fun things,

3:05:10 > 3:05:14just to get them to talk. The things we do is like drama play, teaching

3:05:14 > 3:05:21them basic things like how to speak to people over the phone and basic

3:05:21 > 3:05:26things like telling your name, I really struggle to say my name.I

3:05:26 > 3:05:32felt bad, because I asked you earlier.And I was struggling to

3:05:32 > 3:05:36just say my name. So I just try and teach those kids those small

3:05:36 > 3:05:43techniques. I tend to just... Just to get their confidence up.It is an

3:05:43 > 3:05:47amazing thing that you are doing, and it is amazing what you have

3:05:47 > 3:05:51managed to do. Richard Brown, you are a drama teacher, special needs

3:05:51 > 3:05:56outstanding teacher of the year, I think more than once.Just the once.

3:05:56 > 3:06:01Thank you for joining us. Drummer helps you, we will come to you in a

3:06:01 > 3:06:09second, but how does that help young people? -- drama helps you.It

3:06:09 > 3:06:12promote self-esteem, confidence, social skills, we try to use it at

3:06:12 > 3:06:18our school in everything we do, the arts, we find the impact is amazing.

3:06:18 > 3:06:21You have these young people that come in and they are not

3:06:21 > 3:06:24particularly confident, don't really know themselves, by the time they

3:06:24 > 3:06:28leave school they have been performances, being on stage, made

3:06:28 > 3:06:31films and they leave the school knowing who they are and feeling

3:06:31 > 3:06:37confident. Let's talk about your work, you are

3:06:37 > 3:06:41a journalist and you have your own, in some ways, special education

3:06:41 > 3:06:45needs, but you did not know?I was diagnosed with autism very late,

3:06:45 > 3:06:50which I think is quite common for women, surprisingly common. We

3:06:50 > 3:06:53generally have quite a stereotypical view of what autism is and women

3:06:53 > 3:06:58tend not to fit that. It was a bit of a surprise.I have talked to you

3:06:58 > 3:07:02about this before, was at a good thing, the diagnosis?I think it

3:07:02 > 3:07:09really was. If you know stuff about yourself then you are prepared and

3:07:09 > 3:07:14can deal with life on a better footing. Before I was diagnosed I

3:07:14 > 3:07:17always knew something was different about me and my brain is the type

3:07:17 > 3:07:22that wants to know everything. Not knowing what it was was really quite

3:07:22 > 3:07:28confusing.As a journalist, that is a top skill?

3:07:28 > 3:07:32It is great, you get to ask difficult questions and you get to

3:07:32 > 3:07:36really think and dig deeper into a topic, which is brilliant and a

3:07:36 > 3:07:41great way of interacting. With autism, for some people, me

3:07:41 > 3:07:45particularly, small talk and be excruciating. If you get to walk

3:07:45 > 3:07:48into somebody's house and ask all the questions everybody wants to and

3:07:48 > 3:07:55are paid to do it, it is really cool.Nikki, we see you reporting

3:07:55 > 3:08:00but I never get to ask you how life was like for you growing up, how was

3:08:00 > 3:08:05school?It is amazing, quite frankly, that I have this job. I

3:08:05 > 3:08:08went to a mainstream primary school but they had other disabled people

3:08:08 > 3:08:13at the school, they had an amazing physiotherapy pool, which was great,

3:08:13 > 3:08:17but they took me out of all of my core subjects to go for a swim, so I

3:08:17 > 3:08:22always say I am a great swimmer and a bit sick!You just missed out

3:08:22 > 3:08:33on... -- I am a great swimmer but a bit thick.I have amazing parent, it

3:08:33 > 3:08:36was not easy for them, they worked so hard so I could do everything I

3:08:36 > 3:08:44wanted to do. -- amazing parents. I am lucky, I am blessed with an

3:08:44 > 3:08:48upbeat personality and I have that naturally. That is not saying it is

3:08:48 > 3:08:55not difficult. Early in my career I did not really have support and it

3:08:55 > 3:08:58was a struggle, I would literally pull up in London in a parking space

3:08:58 > 3:09:02and stop a stranger and say I had to get to a meeting, can you help me

3:09:02 > 3:09:06get my scooter out the boot of my car, can you help me onto the

3:09:06 > 3:09:10scooter? I was winning it for a long time. You can be happy and positive

3:09:10 > 3:09:13a lot of the time if you are naturally like that but there are

3:09:13 > 3:09:20times when it gets tough.Oh, sure. You have a wallow in the car, a

3:09:20 > 3:09:28little cry, listen to Kate Bush and you are over it.You are amazing.

3:09:28 > 3:09:31Abed, you mentioned support, when you were young and struggling with

3:09:31 > 3:09:35your stomach, would that have made a difference?It would have made a

3:09:35 > 3:09:39massive difference. The first time I got supporters when I was 19, I

3:09:39 > 3:09:46waited until I was that age.-- when you were young and struggling with

3:09:46 > 3:09:51your stammer, would that have made a difference?I don't blame the

3:09:51 > 3:09:55teachers, but I feel now that kids are a bit more supported now than

3:09:55 > 3:09:58before, but I am sure more can be done.

3:09:58 > 3:10:05For the kids who go to your club, I don't know what it is called?The

3:10:05 > 3:10:09stammer support group.Must be so inspiring for them to see you, you

3:10:09 > 3:10:16are a maths teacher, it is fantastic.I hope so. Because I can

3:10:16 > 3:10:23tell that they are making progress, they are getting a bit louder now.

3:10:23 > 3:10:29It is fine by me as long as they are confident. I don't want them even to

3:10:29 > 3:10:34hide their stammer, stammer confidently. It is about what they

3:10:34 > 3:10:40say and how they say it.This is a very good point. Laura, so many

3:10:40 > 3:10:46people have got in touch this week, at this school what has been really

3:10:46 > 3:10:51striking is celebrating difference. How important do you think that is,

3:10:51 > 3:10:55going forward?I think it is very important. I don't think there is

3:10:55 > 3:10:58anything inherently wrong with being autistic, it is a difference between

3:10:58 > 3:11:11a Mac and a PC or a cat or a dog, nothing is better, they are is

3:11:11 > 3:11:13important we recognise that. There are things I am able to do that my

3:11:13 > 3:11:16neurotypical peers would bowl cut, there are things I struggle with,

3:11:16 > 3:11:18equally, but that is true of everyone. If we can make it

3:11:18 > 3:11:22something every day, we don't think about in that quite a big way, then

3:11:22 > 3:11:28I think the world would be much better.Richard, any thoughts on

3:11:28 > 3:11:32celebrating it?That is what it is all about. It is great to be special

3:11:32 > 3:11:37and different. Everyone is different. It is important that we

3:11:37 > 3:11:44promote that. It is the way forward. Nikki, it has been an extraordinary

3:11:44 > 3:11:49week, we have had so many messages and people asking questions, we try

3:11:49 > 3:11:53to answer some of them. We will stay with it, how important do you think

3:11:53 > 3:11:57it is to celebrate difference look at it and work our way around it?

3:11:57 > 3:12:03This week has been special. In my job as a disability correspondent,

3:12:03 > 3:12:07it is not the first stressed parents I have spoken to with a child with

3:12:07 > 3:12:12special educational needs, autism, all those disabilities. It has been

3:12:12 > 3:12:16so good that the parents that are fighting for so many things for

3:12:16 > 3:12:19their children and young people had seen themselves reflected and

3:12:19 > 3:12:23realise they are not alone and that it is probably a bit like hitting

3:12:23 > 3:12:30your head against a brick wall for long time, there is no letup, but

3:12:30 > 3:12:33there is a certain relief and knowing you are not alone, going

3:12:33 > 3:12:38through it. That is important, it is important to continue to revisit

3:12:38 > 3:12:44its.And the determination and the pride and the love for their

3:12:44 > 3:12:47children has come across incredibly strongly through the e-mails and

3:12:47 > 3:12:53everybody getting in touch. Thank you all so much. Thank you to

3:12:53 > 3:12:58everybody who has watched and got in touch this week, we have learnt so

3:12:58 > 3:13:04much, we will stay with this, we read all the e-mails and the treats,

3:13:04 > 3:13:08we will do that for you -- e-mails and the tweets. We will possibly all

3:13:08 > 3:13:13have to look at issues in the next few minutes, we have a special way

3:13:13 > 3:13:22to end the programme. Here is the school choir.

3:13:22 > 3:13:31# So many people. # What have you done to date to make

3:13:31 > 3:13:33you feel proud?

3:13:38 > 3:13:48-- what have you done today?
