Hello this is Breakfast,
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Munchetty. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective
tells the BBC he was shocked | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
by the amount of pornography viewed
on a computer seized from the office | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
of the First Secretary of State,
Damian Green nine years ago. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
Speaking for the first time,
the technology specialist says | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
thousands of images containing legal
pornographic material | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
were on a device in his
Westminster office. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
Mr Green has vehemently denied
looking at pornography at work. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:35 | |
Good morning, it's Friday
the 1st of December. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Also this morning, a review
is launched into NHS radiology | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
services in England after the health
watchdog is told that junior doctors | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
at one hospital were asked
to examine x-rays without | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
the right training. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle head
to Nottingham for first public | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
engagement together since
they announced their plans | 0:00:59 | 0:01:07 | |
to marry. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
To mark the end of our
amazing week about special | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
educational needs, we're
at Piper Hill High in Manchester. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Today we're at this outstanding
special school to hear what can be | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
done to ensure every child
fulfils their potential. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:26 | |
This is Fergus, a classroom
assistant. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:35 | |
I'm | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
in the sensory room here,
which helps children understand | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
the world around them. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
Today we're reporting that 1.4
million kids have speech | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
and language difficulties -
but far too many of them are not | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
getting the help they need. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
Good morning. There is no stopping
the vinyl revival, after a decade of | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
increasing sales we are still on
course to buy 30% more this year | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
than last year. I will have more on
that later. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
In sport, the world waits
as the draw for the 2018 World Cup | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
in Russia takes place
at the Kremlin this afternoon. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
England are not one of the top
seeds, so we will be hoping to avoid | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
the likes of Brazil, Argentina and
Germany. And Matt has the weather. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Good morning. It is the
meteorological start of winter | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
today. Icy across parts of eastern
England, and plenty of ice behind me | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
here in Brighton. Over the next few
days it will actually get milder. I | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
will have the full forecast in net
-- in the next 15 minutes. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
Good morning, first our main story. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective has
told BBC News he was shocked | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
by the amount of pornography
on a Parliamentary computer seized | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
from the office of the First
Secretary of State, Damian Green. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Neil Lewis examined the device
during an inquiry into government | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
leaks in 2008. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:44 | |
Mr Green, who is in effect
Theresa May's deputy, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
has vehemently denied looking
at pornography at work, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
initially describing the allegations
as "disreputable, political smears." | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Mr Lewis, a retired computer
forensics specialist who hasn't | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
spoken out before said analysis
of the way the computer had been | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
used left him in "no doubt
whatsoever" that the material had | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
been accessed by Mr Green,
who was then an Opposition | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
immigration spokesman. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
Here's Theresa May's oldest and most
trusted political ally. Now Damian | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
Green is facing a battle for little
survival, amid claims he viewed | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
pornography on his work computer.
Damian Green has vehemently denied | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
the allegations. I had an exemplary
record. Now the detective who | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
examined the device has given me his
account. The shocking thing was that | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
as I was viewing it, I noticed a lot
of pornography thumbnails, which | 0:03:26 | 0:03:35 | |
indicated Web browsing. But a lot,
there was a lot of them. So I was | 0:03:35 | 0:03:45 | |
surprised to see that on a
parliamentary computer. How many | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
images did you see? Thousands.
Thousands of pornographic images? | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
Thumbnail images. The computer had
been seized in 2008 after police | 0:03:54 | 0:04:01 | |
raided Damian Green's officers. The
MP, then in opposition, was the | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
subject of an unrelated enquiry into
Home Office leaks. He was never | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
charged. How can you be sure it was
Damian Green who was accessing the | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
pornography? There is that phrase,
you can't put fingers on a keyboard. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
I can't say that. But the computer
was in Mr Green's office, on his | 0:04:20 | 0:04:27 | |
desk. Login, his account, his name.
-- log in. -- logged. In between | 0:04:27 | 0:04:39 | |
browsing pornography he was sending
emails from his account, his | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
personal account. Reading documents,
writing documents. The Cabinet | 0:04:42 | 0:04:50 | |
office is examining the pornography
claims as part of a wider enquiry | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
into Mr Green's conduct. But Neil
Lewis has not been asked to give | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
evidence. A spokesperson for Damian
Green said it would the | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
inappropriate for Mr Green to
comment while the Cabinet office | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
investigation was continuing.
However, the spokesperson said that | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
Damian Green had: | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Mr Green maintains his innocence. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
Health inspectors have ordered
a review of all NHS radiology | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
services in England after a hospital
in Portsmouth failed to spot three | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
cases of lung cancer. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
The investigation by
the Care Quality Commission also | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
found that 20,000 chest scans had
not been assessed correctly | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
at the Queen Alexandra Hospital. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
The Portsmouth Hospital NHS
Trust has apologised | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
to the families affected. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:40 | |
Mark Lobel reports. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:46 | |
An alarming backlog of unchecked
medical scans has been found at the | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Queen Alexandra Hospital in
Portsmouth by the health services | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
regulator, after a member of the
public raised concerns. The care | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
will decommission found between the
first of April 2016 and the 31st of | 0:05:56 | 0:06:02 | |
March this year, 26,345 chest x-rays
and 2167 abdomen x-rays had not been | 0:06:02 | 0:06:12 | |
formally reviewed by a radiologist
or an appropriately trained | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
clinician. Some had been checked,
but by junior doctors, who | 0:06:14 | 0:06:21 | |
complained that they had been asked
to do so without appropriate | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
training. In some cases where x-rays
had been declared clear, | 0:06:23 | 0:06:30 | |
radiologists went on to spot cancer
on later scans. In a statement, the | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
Care Quality Commission said: | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
Portsmouth NHS Trust said: | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
The health regulator has now written
to all trust in England to build up | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
a national picture of how quickly
patients' x-rays are viewed. But | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
tackling the problem will be tough.
Experts have warned of a desperate | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
shortage of radiologists across the
country, and a backlog of hundreds | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
of thousands of x-rays and scans. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
MPs scrutinising the government's
Brexit plans says border controls | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
between Northern Ireland
and the Irish Republic | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
are inevitable if the UK leaves
the EU single market | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
and customs union. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
The Commons Brexit Committee says
ministers have failed to explain how | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
the issue can be resolved,
and that the proposals they've come | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
up with - such as the
use of technology - | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
are "untested" and "speculative." | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
Survivors and those who lost loved
ones in the Grenfell fire say | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
the public inquiry into the disaster
will be a whitewash unless a diverse | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
panel is appointed to
oversee the proceedings. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
The government says the process
is ongoing, but campaigners | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
are urging the Prime Minister
to intervene, and say the chairman, | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick,
should sit with a range of people | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
who understand the issues facing
those affected by the disaster. | 0:07:53 | 0:08:03 | |
Without our involvement, without us
being listened to, without | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
co-operation from us, what type of
enquiry is this, you know? This is | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
what we have to remember, this is
our enquiry, our public enquiry. We | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
are the ones who lost families and
we want a fair crack at justice and | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
we want to be listened to, we don't
want to be ignored. We want a panel | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
of people to understand us and our
concerns. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
The Argentine navy has abandoned
efforts to rescue the 44 crew | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
members of a submarine that
disappeared two weeks ago. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Thousands of people have been
involved in the search | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
for the San Juan, covering a 40,000
square kilometre area of the South | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
Atlantic. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
The authorities say they will still
try to locate the wreckage. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Disruption is expected in parts
of the UK this morning, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
after temperatures dropped as low
as minus eight overnight. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
Yesterday eastern England,
Kent and parts of Scotland saw | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
the first widespread snowfall
of winter, and another 5cm | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
could fall in some areas today. | 0:08:54 | 0:09:02 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
will carry out their first joint | 0:09:02 | 0:09:08 | |
royal engagements later,
just days after announcing | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
that they're to marry in the spring. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
They will visit a number
of charities in Nottingham, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
as our royal correspondent
Sarah Campbell reports. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
It was only on Monday that
Prince Harry introduced | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
to the American actress
Meghan Markle as his new fiancee. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
This photo call was held
in the controlled environment | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
of the garden at Kensington Palace
but Miss Markle made it clear | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
in the subsequent interview
that she was keen to get out | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
and about and meet
the British public. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
In these beginning few months
and now being boots on the ground | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
in the UK, I'm excited to just
really get to know more | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
about the different communities
here, smaller organisations, | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
working on the same causes I've
always been passionate | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
about under this umbrella. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
And also being able to go
around the Commonwealth, | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
I think it's just the beginning... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
There's a lot to do. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:57 | |
Their first engagement together
will highlight an issue Prince Harry | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
has become a prominent
campaigner on behalf of, | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
AIDS and HIV awareness. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
They will then visit
Nottingham Academy through the Royal | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
foundation he has supported. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
Full Effect, a programme attempted
to tackle youth crime. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
This was Prince Harry meeting
the public in Nottingham | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
earlier this year. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:18 | |
According to his spokesman,
it's a community that's become very | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
special to him and one he's looking
forward to introducing | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
to his new fiancee. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:25 | |
Born and raised in California,
Meghan Markle has already agreed | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
to make the UK her home
and the people of Nottingham will be | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
the first to publicly welcome her. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Sarah Campbell, BBC News. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:41 | |
Time now, ten minutes past six, time
to talk to Mike. Good morning. Lots | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
of football fans are talking about
this as though it is Christmas Eve, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
because today, all of those World
Cup finalists find out where, which | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
is important in Russia because it is
so big, and who, they will be | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
playing. Once the draw is made you
can start looking at the places, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
learn about the geography, learn
about the countries you will be | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
facing. It might be Panama or Iran
were Australia against England, how | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
amazing would that be? In rehearsal,
England drew Brazil twice. And | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
Argentina. But the real thing takes
place today inside the Kremlin at | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
three o'clock. England and the other
31 teams which have qualified will | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
find out who and where they will be
playing. Russia has something like | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
three or four different time zones.
England have already picked a base | 0:11:25 | 0:11:30 | |
near Saint Petersburg and will be
hoping to avoid long trips to the | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
Far East and side of Russia. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
The former England manager,
Sam Allardyce, is officially back | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
in the game. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
He's signed an 18-month deal
to take over at Everton. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
He's been out since February
after more back surgery, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
but Tiger Woods described his
opening round as "great" | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
as he made his latest return
to golf in the Bahamas. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
He shot a 3-under par 69. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
And at the Wheelchair Tennis
Masters in Loughbrough, | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Britain's Gordon Reid kept his hopes
of a semi-final place alive | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
with victory in his
second group match. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:03 | |
I've got more for you in a moment in
the papers. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
There are warnings commuters might
face disruption today because of ice | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
and snow. Lots of pictures in the
papers of lots of frost and snow | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
around. Matt is keeping up with the
chilly theme, he is in Brighton. It | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
is icy there, to say the least. At a
gorgeous view. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
Very gorgeous, isn't it? It is the
meteorological start to winter, the | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
first of December. I have come in
search of some ice. I didn't need to | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
this morning, there is some ice
around, and you might be seeing it | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
out there in the UK as well. We have
had an early taste of winter, do | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
could say, across the country, with
temperatures lower than they should | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
eat for this time of year. Quite a
bit of snow across eastern England. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
If anything, across the next few
days, temperatures will be on the | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
rise. It is set to get a bit milder.
Let's look at the forecast of this | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
weekend. Not only is it set to turn
milder, but it will also turn | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
cloudy, would not as much sunshine
around us this morning. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Temperatures rising across the
Hebrides, with patchy rain. Central | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
and southern Scotland will be lovely
and sunny but with a frosty start. A | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
little bit of ice. Sunshine out
across parts of north-west England | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
as well. And Northern Ireland. East
of the Pennines and all the way down | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
into eastern England, much more
cloud around. A few showers of snow | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
around, but mainly turning to rain
and sleet now. Because the pitches | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
have only been a few degrees above
freezing there has been ice. Take it | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
easy on the pavements. The western
half of England and Wales, a | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
different story altogether. 12
isolated showers in western Wales. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
Clear and frosty later, with a
lovely sunny day to come. Not as | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
windy as yesterday. Reasonably dry
and sunny and Northern Ireland, with | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
temperatures below freezing. Here,
the best of the sunshine will be | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
this morning. Through the day, that
cloud in the far north-west of | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
Scotland is going to slowly push its
way south and east. Turning cloudy | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
across Scotland and Northern Ireland
and by the end of the day, in the | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
far north-west of England, we will
see patchy rain. Most places will | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
stay dry. Showers confined to East
Anglia and the far south-east later. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
Temperatures still on the low side,
but up about one degree on | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
yesterday. And you can take away the
strength of the wind so it will not | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
feel as chilly. But it is still
cold. Called into tonight as we go | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
across England and Wales, a touch of
frost arriving quite quickly. Cloud | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
pushing down across the north.
Lifting temperatures through the | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
night, cloud breaks later,
especially east of high ground in | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
the east of Scotland and eastern
England, and also in the far | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
south-west. A touch of frost, and
some ice to begin Saturday morning. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
Much more cloud UK wide on the
weekend, a bit of patchy rain at the | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
top and tail of the country. The
best of the brightness will be a | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
cross the north of Scotland and
north-east England. Double | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
temperatures in some parts, still
quite chilly across eastern England, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
but by Sunday all of us will be into
that milder air. Probably brighter | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
across the country on Sunday after
overnight rain. Still some patchy | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
rain in the west stop the best of
any rain on Sunday will be towards | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
the east. -- west of any sunshine.
The pitches could get up to around | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
ten of -- ten or 11 degrees. Chilly
again today, but a little less cold | 0:15:22 | 0:15:28 | |
as we go into this weekend. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
Thank you, Matt. We were just
wondering, how many layers are you | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
wearing? I am on a four lay a day
this morning. Thermals, I hope. You | 0:15:36 | 0:15:44 | |
have to do. Thank you. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
Let's take a look at today's papers. | 0:15:51 | 0:16:00 | |
Many of the images dominated by
President Trump after the various | 0:16:00 | 0:16:07 | |
Twitter messages.
The Daily Mirror makes its views | 0:16:07 | 0:16:15 | |
very clear. Not wanted. Taking a
look at the idea that the president | 0:16:15 | 0:16:24 | |
has been Rowling over social media
with the Prime Minister -- rowing. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:31 | |
Some say he is not welcome in the
UK. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
This is the front page of the
Telegraph. It is quite interesting. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
Lots of people work on the Bank of
England and one of the policymakers | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
on the Financial Policy Committee
was doing a speech, saying size of | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
our debt relative to the economy is
still pretty big. And even though | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
they said in a budget it is expected
a portion of our economy will come | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
down so on, we still can't be too
casual about it. They say there | 0:16:59 | 0:17:05 | |
needs to be some wriggle room. You
can't forget about debt. If you | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
start borrowing more, it is one to
keep an eye on. On the front of the | 0:17:10 | 0:17:18 | |
FT, an interesting one from... A bit
of a dingdong between Jeremy Corbyn | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
and the big banks. So a few days
ago, one of the big American banks | 0:17:24 | 0:17:31 | |
Morgan Stanley said the prospect of
a Jeremy Corbyn government could be | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
a bigger risk to the financial
economy in the UK than Brexit, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
depending on how his policies might
play out. Because he is seen as | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
being less favourable in terms of
tax breaks. Yes. But Jeremy Corbyn | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
has hit back, saying, yes, the banks
we probably would be a bit of a | 0:17:49 | 0:17:55 | |
threat. FA Cup second round tomorrow
and a star midfielder who certainly | 0:17:55 | 0:18:01 | |
likes an aerial challenge has also
done all of the washing. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:10 | |
For the rest of the team? Yes, for
Gateshead. You wouldn't get | 0:18:10 | 0:18:16 | |
Cristiano Ronaldo doing that? It
takes ages to dry all of the staff. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
Who is he?
JJ O'Donnell. You need to do the | 0:18:20 | 0:18:28 | |
washing the August and September
games. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
I wonder if he has any good laundry
tips. The mud stains and everything. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:39 | |
Lots of puns in this article. About
different washing powders. And of | 0:18:39 | 0:18:46 | |
course England pay Australia in the
rug elite World Cup final. I wonder | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
if England's secret weapon is
because he sings on the pitch every | 0:18:50 | 0:18:58 | |
time he gets the ball. He sings a
little song. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Do we know what he sings?
Different songs. He has a hold to | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
box repertoire. I wonder if it puts
the opponents. -- jukebox | 0:19:05 | 0:19:12 | |
repertoire. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
All this week we've been
shining a light on special | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
educational needs, looking
at the challenges faced by disabled | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
children and their families. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
It's prompted so many
personal and powerful | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
stories from viewers. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:30 | |
Many of you have been in touch
with tales of your struggles, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
but also your stories
of hope and success. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Louise is spending
the morning at a very special school | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
in Manchester, seeing how teachers
there make sure every child | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
fulfils their potential. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:50 | |
That is certainly a feat to be taken
on. Good morning! | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Good morning. Good morning,
everybody, and thank you so much for | 0:19:53 | 0:19:59 | |
all of those messages this week. For
the final day of our series we are | 0:19:59 | 0:20:04 | |
in this outstanding special school.
It is Piper Hill High in Manchester. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:10 | |
We are delighted to be here. This
morning we have Joe, Linda Jones, | 0:20:10 | 0:20:18 | |
head teacher, Fergus, a classroom
assistant. I now everyone is really | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
excited to have us here today. So
excited that you've all been for a | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
sleepover last night. How was it? It
was really good, Louise, really. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:33 | |
Really good to do it with my friend.
We give debt any sleep? Yeah. That's | 0:20:33 | 0:20:39 | |
good. I know you've been here for a
while. What's your favourite thing | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
about this school? It is peer-like,
with rugby. And they like doing my | 0:20:43 | 0:20:51 | |
work experience with Tesco. Which
has gone really well. You have been | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
telling me how good the work
experience went. And he went back | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
and volunteered on holidays? Yeah.
And people came in on -- especially | 0:20:58 | 0:21:06 | |
in the morning to see you, because
you were so popular. I helped people | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
out sometimes with some jobs. And I
know people came back especially to | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
go to your till, which is brilliant.
Thank you for coming in. We are | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
staying here all morning, which is
fantastic. We will find out how | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
everything is the same, but as you
can see just a little bit different. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
We know lots of people are trying to
get places for their children in | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
schools like this in England. In
Scotland the emphasis is really on | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
mainstreaming those children. Our
correspondent went to find out how | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
that works. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:41 | |
SINGING | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
It is morning at this primary school
in Edinburgh. The time of -- | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
timetable for these children in the
fourth Europe by Marie is music, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
spelling, Storytime and their daily
mile of exercise. UN has cerebral | 0:21:54 | 0:22:02 | |
palsy and takes part in all of the
classes and activities. He has | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
really good friends here. -- Ewan.
And he has 1-to-1 help throughout | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
the school day. You spend a lot of
time together? Yes. We are together | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
every morning. We've been together
every morning for about three years. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:20 | |
He is a happy boy and he enjoys the
school. In Scotland, the aim is to | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
keep children with additional needs
in mainstream schools. In England | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
has been an increase in special
schools and fewer children kept in | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
mainstream ones. Ewan's mum Jane
says the Scottish system has worked | 0:22:34 | 0:22:42 | |
well for her son. It has given him a
sense of belonging in the community | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
and a sense of worth and respect. He
is with his brother and sister. His | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
independence has increased. And he
really seems to enjoy it? Loved | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
school. A quarter of children in
Scotland have what's called | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
additional support needs, about one
in seven, there is a much broader | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
definition here which includes
family circumstances, health, | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
disability. And although the number
receiving extra help in Scotland has | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
in recent years gone up, the number
of specialist support teachers has | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
dropped. There are certainly is a
squeeze and there is pressure on the | 0:23:13 | 0:23:19 | |
workforce in schools to meet the
broad range of needs of their | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
pupils. There is also exceptionally
good practice and so it is the | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
exceptionally good practice taking
place that we need to really learn | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
from. These mums who take their
children to the yard in a play | 0:23:30 | 0:23:35 | |
centre for disabled children told me
their priority is the right to | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
choose. I want an autism school for
my son, which has the small classes | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
of about six that he will get the
best education because at the moment | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
when he is in a mainstream
environment he is depressive and he | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
is overwhelmed. For our daughter it
was clear that she got a lot more | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
from mainstream because what they
were offering was more appropriate | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
to how she learns and what she
wanted to learn about. The Scottish | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
government says children should be
schools where their needs are best | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
match. Either in special schools or
mainstream ones. The local school | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
has worked out well for Ewan. His
family wouldn't want it any other | 0:24:10 | 0:24:18 | |
way. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
So some people clearly enjoying
school. I want to know a little bit | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
of background about the school. Tell
us about the pupils you how. This is | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
a school for young people, children
and young people, with significant | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
additional learning needs. Some
students have more severe learning | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
difficulties, some have a profound
learning difficulty, and many have | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
associated difficulties such as
autism. You told me little bit | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
earlier that everything is the same
but a little bit different. What do | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
you mean by that? Obviously we've
got Fergus. We think all the time | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
about what we do for each individual
child in school to make it a little | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
bit more unique and a little bit
more personalised than he would do | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
in a mainstream school and really
think about the environment, the | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
curriculum we offer and how we can
get this tiny steps of learning to | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
really build up so that all children
make outstanding progress. White we | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
can't ignore this young man. You
look after him. Tell us about his | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
job here. He is here to do what
Linda wants us to do. We are guided | 0:25:18 | 0:25:25 | |
very much by the teachers in terms
of which students he should be with | 0:25:25 | 0:25:31 | |
and he just loves his time here. And
there are all sorts of different | 0:25:31 | 0:25:37 | |
ways he's used? It can be as a
therapy dog, as a traditional way of | 0:25:37 | 0:25:43 | |
being calm and enjoying the company
of the animal, and for all the | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
people who have maybe fears of
animals and dogs it's a way of | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
ensuring that overtime they become
used to that and can manage to say | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
walked past it on the street, which
will have a massive impact on their | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
life or the life of their family.
All sorts of different reasons. And | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
you celebrate difference here? We
celebrate difference. It is a core | 0:26:02 | 0:26:07 | |
value. Different is fantastic, being
unique is fantastic. And you are a | 0:26:07 | 0:26:13 | |
three times outstanding school. This
is no easy answer, you've got about | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
20 seconds, at Howdy you do that?
Hard work, teamwork, East River the | 0:26:16 | 0:26:23 | |
leadership, everyone understands
their role, are accountable. Good is | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
never good enough and it's really
important that the child is at the | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
centre of every single thing we do
every day, every minute. And your | 0:26:30 | 0:26:35 | |
enthusiasm is literally infectious.
And you so much. I know you will be | 0:26:35 | 0:26:40 | |
hit throughout the morning as well.
Thank you. And Fergus has | 0:26:40 | 0:26:46 | |
competition.
Another therapy dog will be here | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
later! You are really getting a
treat this morning with all of those | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
lovely animals!
Absolutely. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:57 | |
Back with Lou throughout the
morning. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |

onto special educational needs,
we'll look at the 1.4 million | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
children who have speech
and language difficulties - | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |

of us struggle to get enough, | 0:31:15 | 0:31:19 | |
we'll get some top
tips from an expert. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
Good morning. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:21 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective has
told BBC News he was "shocked" | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
by the amount of pornography
on a Parliamentary computer seized | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
from the office of the First
Secretary of State, Damian Green. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
Neil Lewis, a computer
forensics specialist, | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
examined the device
during an inquiry into government | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
leaks in 2008. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:38 | |
Mr Green has vehemently denied
looking at pornography at work. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
Mr Lewis, who's now retired,
said he has "no doubt whatsoever" | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
that the images containing legal
pornographic material had been | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
accessed by Mr Green. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:53 | |
Health inspectors have ordered
a review of all NHS radiology | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
services in England,
after a hospital in Portsmouth | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
failed to spot three
cases of lung cancer. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
The investigation by
the Care Quality Commission found | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
that 20,000 scans had not
been assessed correctly | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
at the Queen Alexandra Hospital,
and that junior doctors had been | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
left to interpret the results
without the appropriate training. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
The trust has apologised
to the families affected. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:17 | |
MPs scrutinising the government's
Brexit plans says border controls | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
between Northern Ireland
and the Irish Republic | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
are inevitable if the UK leaves
the EU single market | 0:32:24 | 0:32:26 | |
and customs union. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:27 | |
The Commons Brexit Committee says
ministers have failed to explain how | 0:32:27 | 0:32:32 | |
the issue can be resolved,
and that the proposals they've come | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
up with, such as the use
of technology, are "untested" | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
and "speculative." | 0:32:37 | 0:32:38 | |
Survivors and those who lost loved
ones in the Grenfell fire say | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
the public inquiry into the disaster
will be a whitewash - | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
unless a diverse panel is appointed
to oversee the proceedings. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
They are urging the Prime Minister
to intervene, and say the chairman, | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick,
should sit with a range of people | 0:32:51 | 0:32:53 | |
who understand the issues facing
those affected by the disaster. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
Andy Moore reports. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:03 | |
All the victims of the Grenfell
Tower fire have now been identified. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:07 | |
The work to cover up the charred
remains of the building is just | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
beginning. Welcome to the opening
session of the enquiry. There has | 0:33:10 | 0:33:15 | |
been a brief formal opening of the
official enquiry, led by retired | 0:33:15 | 0:33:19 | |
judge Sir Martin Moore-Bick. He is
due to resume again with procedural | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
hearings later this month. Those who
have lost loved ones say the Prime | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
Minister needs to appoint a diverse
panel around Sir Martin that would | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
more truly represent them. Let's
have openness and transparency. We | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
are not asking foreign eating that
is difficult. We are asking for a | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
level playing field. I don't think
we've got that so far. Her uncle | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
died in the fire. -- is uncle. He
says families may not co-operate | 0:33:41 | 0:33:45 | |
with the enquiry unless they are
listened to. We are the ones who | 0:33:45 | 0:33:49 | |
lost families and we want a fair
crack at justice and we want to be | 0:33:49 | 0:33:53 | |
listened to, we don't want to be
ignored. And we want a panel of | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
people to be able to understand us
and our concerns, and to assist with | 0:33:57 | 0:34:01 | |
the judge in making the decisions
and reporting back to the Prime | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
Minister. The families have launched
an online petition calling for the | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
appointment of panel members and
better legal representation at the | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
enquiry. The government says Sir
Martin is still deciding what expert | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
help he needs, and that after that,
a decision will be made about any | 0:34:14 | 0:34:19 | |
possible panel. The government also
says the lawyers representing the | 0:34:19 | 0:34:24 | |
families will be allowed to play an
active role in the proceedings. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
The Argentine navy has abandoned
efforts to rescue the 44 crew | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
members of a submarine that
disappeared two weeks ago. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
Thousands of people have been
involved in the search | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
for the San Juan, covering a 40,000
square kilometre area of the South | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
Atlantic. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:38 | |
The authorities say they will still
try to locate the wreckage. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:46 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
are to carry out their first joint | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
official visit later. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:50 | |
The couple, who announced
their engagement on Monday, | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
will meet members of the public
at a charity fair and a school | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
in Nottingham later. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
They're due to get married
at Windsor Castle in May. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:07 | |
One other story for you this
morning. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
A little girl has been reunited
with her favourite cuddly toy, | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
after images of it were
shared around the world. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
10-year-old Eve was distraught
when her stuffed Labrador, | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
Basil, was lost during
a trip to Canada in July. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
Luckily her mother spotted him
in a video, which was made | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
by Glasgow Airport in a bid to track
down the owners of 21 cuddly toys | 0:35:22 | 0:35:26 | |
that ended up in
their lost property. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
Eve says she's delighted to have
Basil back, and hopes the other | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
people who lost their teddies
get them back too. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:46 | |
I've remember my first World Cup
draw. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:52 | |
Once they drew Iran and Peru I was
looking at the countries | 0:35:52 | 0:35:57 | |
and cities. Also it was Holland but | 0:35:57 | 0:36:02 | |
and cities. Also it was Holland but
I knew a bit more about them. It's | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
like Christmas for a lot of football
fans. It's really interesting. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
Russia is the biggest country in the
world, 11 different time zones. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:14 | |
Incredible. So England could travel
10,000 miles if they get the worst | 0:36:14 | 0:36:19 | |
draw, or 3000 if the draw is kind to
them. It's not just about the teams | 0:36:19 | 0:36:24 | |
they draw with.
Usually we talk about altitude being | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
the problem. Now it is jetlag.
And also the heat in somewhere like | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
Sochi. And the language problems in
the far east of Russia. An | 0:36:31 | 0:36:37 | |
incredible mixture of culture. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:43 | |
The draw is taking place inside the
famous | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
Kremlin at about 3pm this afternoon.
Our sports correspondent reports. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:54 | |
It is Russia's moment in the
spotlight. The final rehearsals for | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
the World Cup draw ensuring nothing
is left to chance. Some of the | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
biggest names in the game as you to
lend at hand to. Among them | 0:37:01 | 0:37:06 | |
England's 1960s heroes who hope the
current squad can make their mark | 0:37:06 | 0:37:12 | |
next summer. If they can get this
thing together, playing with each | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
other and for each other, then
there's always a chance. England | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
will brace themselves in a village
north of St Petersburg. The manager | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
is looking forward to what lies
ahead. We don't have many players | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
that have won major trophies. But
the future is very exciting and | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
there is a great challenge for this
group to see how far they can go. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:37 | |
Star attractions both on and off the
pitch will draw thousands of fans | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
here to Russia next summer.
Organisers say everyone will be | 0:37:41 | 0:37:45 | |
welcome for what they say will be a
festival of football, nevertheless | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
the game has had problems in the
recent past, specifically with | 0:37:49 | 0:37:53 | |
racism and violence, but campaigners
are cautiously optimistic that | 0:37:53 | 0:37:58 | |
things may be improving. We've moved
from a position of denial to a state | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
where the Russians understand that
they need to clean up the stadiums, | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
deal with some of the fans who are
the hard-core, otherwise people | 0:38:05 | 0:38:10 | |
won't know when to come and it may
come back to them in the World Cup | 0:38:10 | 0:38:17 | |
will stop the David the focus is on
the big draw with all the teams keen | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
to discover their foot all in fate.
-- foot all in fate. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:30 | |
In rehearsals, England drew against
Brazil twice. Let's have a look at | 0:38:30 | 0:38:34 | |
what we think based on the Fifa
rankings would be the best draw for | 0:38:34 | 0:38:39 | |
England. Russia according to the
rankings are the weakest team in the | 0:38:39 | 0:38:45 | |
whole cop edition.
But it has the home advantage. -- | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
competition.
But they qualify as one of the top | 0:38:48 | 0:38:54 | |
seeds because they are the host. The
dream draw would be Russia, Senegal | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
who aren't going through a very good
time at the moment and Saudi Arabia. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
Is that based on the ones that are
in theory the worst teams? | 0:39:02 | 0:39:06 | |
Yes and if you got Russia you
couldn't draw another European side. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
The worst laws would be Germany, the
world's top team at the moment, and | 0:39:09 | 0:39:14 | |
the likes of Costa Rica, knocked
England out of the last World Cup, | 0:39:14 | 0:39:20 | |
and Nigeria, who are going really
well. That would be the worst case | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
scenario. But you've got to take
into account the travel as well. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:28 | |
What would you prefer, to watch
England play really good teams and | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
this really good football, or watch
them play lesser teams in terms of | 0:39:31 | 0:39:36 | |
rankings and just get through?
You have to go for the second, | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
without a shadow of a doubt! I would
love them to get Russia or Saudi | 0:39:40 | 0:39:45 | |
Arabia or Senegal and get through to
the knockout stage. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
I'd rather see good football.
You just want your team to get | 0:39:48 | 0:39:53 | |
through the first group stage.
As you know, I'm no expert on foot | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
all knowledge, but in line with
Naga's thinking, it's not always a | 0:39:56 | 0:40:03 | |
good thing to play people who are
worse than you early on because your | 0:40:03 | 0:40:07 | |
standards possibly drop and you
start on a lower level than you | 0:40:07 | 0:40:11 | |
might of the hill have played if you
start against one of the big guys. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:16 | |
You would probably make a much
better foot all a manager than me. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
Do you will be celebrating if they
draw Brazil? | 0:40:20 | 0:40:24 | |
Maybe it wouldn't do them any harm.
The bottomline is you've got... If | 0:40:24 | 0:40:29 | |
you win everything you are all
right. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:32 | |
You can win the World Cup! Simples! | 0:40:32 | 0:40:41 | |
Only six months ago,
Sam Allardyce left Crystal Palace | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
saying he had no ambition to take
another job in football management. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
But he's signed an 18 month deal
to take over at Everton. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:51 | |
He says he is "enthused
and energised" and that the ambition | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
of the club was key
to him taking the job. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
There's been a big blow
for England overnight, | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
with the Rugby League World Cup
final little more than | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
24 hours away. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
England captain Sean O'Loughlin has
been ruled out with a thigh strain. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
That means Sam Burgess
will lead the side. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
He captained England in last year's
Four Nations series and assistant | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
coach Dennis Betts said Burgess
was a "doer" and a "leader" | 0:41:13 | 0:41:16 | |
and the natural replacement. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:22 | |
Britain's Paralympic champion
Gordon Reid can still reach | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
the semi-finals of the
Wheelchair Tennis Masters | 0:41:24 | 0:41:26 | |
in Loughbrough, after winning his
second pool match. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
He came from a set down
to beat Nicolas Peifer. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
Andy Lapthorne also won to qualify
for the semi-finals. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:38 | |
Tiger | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
-- Tiger Woods said he thought
he "did great" in his latest | 0:41:43 | 0:41:46 | |
comeback
to competitive golf. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:47 | |
He's been out since February
after more back surgery and he shot | 0:41:47 | 0:41:51 | |
a three under par 69 in the first
round of the Hero World Challenge | 0:41:51 | 0:41:55 | |
in the Bahamas. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:55 | |
in the Bahamas. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:56 | |
He's just three behind
the clubhouse leader | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
England's Tommy Fleetwood. | 0:41:58 | 0:41:59 | |
And finally to the Freestyle Canoe
World Championships in Argentina | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
this week, where Great Britain's
canoeists have been flipping | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
their way onto the podium. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:05 | |
The sport is described
as gymnastics in a boat, | 0:42:05 | 0:42:08 | |
with paddlers performing as many
tricks, spins and somersaults | 0:42:08 | 0:42:10 | |
as they can within their timed run
and bonus points are awarded | 0:42:10 | 0:42:15 | |
if they can get their boat
completely out of the water. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
Great Britain have picked up
three medals so far, | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
with Claire O'Hara winning her ninth
freestyle world title. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
The event continues
over the weekend. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:26 | |
it's like being in the washing
machine. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:28 | |
Amazing.
Take a deep breath! | 0:42:28 | 0:42:33 | |
I was getting all nostalgic. I can
almost smell the dust. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:40 | |
It's a good insight into your music
taste, because these are yours. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
I think people's collections are not
necessarily their taste. They can be | 0:42:44 | 0:42:51 | |
their families'...
This was a recent charity purchase. | 0:42:51 | 0:43:00 | |
The Beach Boys is mine. This was
inherited. Anyway, the story, why | 0:43:00 | 0:43:07 | |
have we got a load of vinyl?
Is that who you model yourself on? | 0:43:07 | 0:43:13 | |
You model yourself on Bobby Darren.
We've figured it out! | 0:43:13 | 0:43:19 | |
Why are we talking about vinyl? It's
a good question. Sales are up, but | 0:43:19 | 0:43:25 | |
we've been saying that year after
year and they are still up. We are | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
on course this year to buy 1 million
LPs in December, which would take us | 0:43:29 | 0:43:35 | |
to 4 million over the year. That
would be up more than a third on | 0:43:35 | 0:43:40 | |
2016. Sewage you go back to 4
million this year, in 2007 we were | 0:43:40 | 0:43:46 | |
buying about 200,000 a year. So once
we start talking about that revival | 0:43:46 | 0:43:50 | |
it really escalates.
It's not just buying older artists | 0:43:50 | 0:43:56 | |
as well, artist in bygone eras,
because they are all new albums. Up | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
until a couple of years ago, I
should say it is still a very small | 0:44:00 | 0:44:07 | |
part of the market. 2.6%. But loads
of people are still streaming. But | 0:44:07 | 0:44:16 | |
that's streaming has made people
like Ed Sheeran and the Arctic | 0:44:16 | 0:44:23 | |
Monkeys and people like Adele become
the top-selling vinyls. 70 people | 0:44:23 | 0:44:29 | |
who were streaming are starting to
buy vinyl as well. Nearly half of | 0:44:29 | 0:44:38 | |
the vinyls, people say half of the
people who buy them, buy them. It's | 0:44:38 | 0:44:48 | |
just that.
There is an album on that. Which way | 0:44:48 | 0:44:54 | |
is he going? Charlie's Christmas
Crooners. | 0:44:54 | 0:45:01 | |
Beautiful. Arguing control of your
mobile disco? | 0:45:01 | 0:45:07 | |
As we saw them, no is the answer.
Shall we try again later? We can | 0:45:07 | 0:45:15 | |
give it a good go. It's almost like
I was interested in what you were | 0:45:15 | 0:45:20 | |
saying, wasn't it? It's a good
story! Let's talk about the weather. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:26 | |
It has got pretty cold. Yesterday
parts of the UK saw first snowfalls. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:32 | |
But is dropped to -8 in some parts
of the country and these are some of | 0:45:32 | 0:45:36 | |
the images that we've seen across
the last 24 hours or so. Some pretty | 0:45:36 | 0:45:43 | |
grim conditions in some places.
Be careful out on the roads today. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:47 | |
Many people are experiencing ice on
the roads. In Brighton this is an | 0:45:47 | 0:45:55 | |
ice rink and it is it meet weather.
Good morning! Good morning. | 0:45:55 | 0:45:58 | |
ice rink and it is it meet weather.
Good morning! Good morning. Welcome | 0:45:58 | 0:46:01 | |
to brighten's Royal Pavilion.
Professional ice skaters. I've been | 0:46:01 | 0:46:06 | |
practising all year but still need a
bit of help. I've got my friend | 0:46:06 | 0:46:12 | |
Snowy. It is the first day of the
meteorological winter in the UK. A | 0:46:12 | 0:46:18 | |
slight change on the way as well. If
you take a look at the forecast, | 0:46:18 | 0:46:22 | |
things are set to get milder through
the coming days and temperatures are | 0:46:22 | 0:46:26 | |
on the rise. Also turning cloudy.
The first changes to the northern | 0:46:26 | 0:46:35 | |
areas of Scotland. The rest of
Scotland, clear and icy. But a sunny | 0:46:35 | 0:46:42 | |
start. In the east of England a
couple of snow flurries. It's all | 0:46:42 | 0:46:51 | |
turning patchy rain as temperatures
lift. Still a chilly winter towards | 0:46:51 | 0:46:55 | |
East Anglia and the south-east,
where we again have some rain and | 0:46:55 | 0:47:00 | |
sleet showers during rush-hour. The
west not as many showers in western | 0:47:00 | 0:47:03 | |
parts Wales. A couple of isolated
ones. Rest of England and Wales, a | 0:47:03 | 0:47:08 | |
lovely and crisp start to Friday
morning. Sunshine overhead, a frost | 0:47:08 | 0:47:12 | |
on the ground. The same to Northern
Ireland, where temperatures dropped | 0:47:12 | 0:47:17 | |
to minus for the night. A sunny
start. There will be changes | 0:47:17 | 0:47:22 | |
throughout the day. In Northern
Ireland, Scotland and later northern | 0:47:22 | 0:47:27 | |
England it will turn cloudy. A bit
of patchy rain. Temperatures on the | 0:47:27 | 0:47:31 | |
rise. Showers in eastern England are
confined to East Anglia. Most will | 0:47:31 | 0:47:36 | |
have a dry and reasonably sunny
afternoon and it is still cold. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:40 | |
Temperatures around 3- eight degrees
for many, but it will start to feel | 0:47:40 | 0:47:44 | |
a little less colder than yesterday.
Through the night we will start to | 0:47:44 | 0:47:49 | |
see cloud in Scotland, Northern
Ireland and the far north of | 0:47:49 | 0:47:52 | |
England. With it a bit of patchy
rain. The chance of icy conditions. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:57 | |
That is to take us into Saturday
morning. It will be a frosty start. | 0:47:57 | 0:48:05 | |
Frost mainly where there are cloud
breaks to the east of high ground | 0:48:05 | 0:48:10 | |
and the far south of England. A
chilly day still in England | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
tomorrow. The warmer air will take
longer to get here. Patchy rain in | 0:48:13 | 0:48:19 | |
southern parts of the Glen and Wales
and to the north of Scotland. In | 0:48:19 | 0:48:23 | |
between a lot of dry weather. A few
cloud breaks. Notice the | 0:48:23 | 0:48:28 | |
temperatures. Potentially up to
double figures in the north of | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
Scotland. Still a touch on the
chilly side in eastern England. In | 0:48:31 | 0:48:35 | |
the Sunday the milder air is with
all of us. Temperatures at or above | 0:48:35 | 0:48:39 | |
they should be. Quite a lot of cloud
again in the west, with patchy rain, | 0:48:39 | 0:48:45 | |
but most places will be dry.
Brighter on Sunday. Sunnier in the | 0:48:45 | 0:48:50 | |
east. The slightly milder conditions
will remain in the next week as | 0:48:50 | 0:48:56 | |
well. Back to you. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
will remain in the next week as
well. Back to you. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
They are known as hidden
disabilities and they affect 1.4 | 0:49:01 | 0:49:05 | |

As our series into special
educational needs continues, | 0:49:08 | 0:49:10 | |
today we're looking at speech,
language and communication needs. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:13 | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been
investigating the issue. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:17 | |
Explained the room you are in. This
is specifically designed to help | 0:49:17 | 0:49:22 | |
people who have those kinds of
issues with communications? This is | 0:49:22 | 0:49:26 | |
kind of a full immersive experience.
We are in the rainforest. We are | 0:49:26 | 0:49:32 | |
transported. What can we hear? The
rain tinkling through the leaves. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:41 | |
Back ground song. And this brings
all of your geography lessons to | 0:49:41 | 0:49:47 | |
life. Give away if to everybody. I
know you have lots of family | 0:49:47 | 0:49:50 | |
watching. Hello, mum and dad. Hit
the blue beam. This is how immersive | 0:49:50 | 0:49:58 | |
it is. Watch this. We did that
before. He nearly fell off his | 0:49:58 | 0:50:05 | |
chair. More on this in a minute. 1.4
million kids... Are you OK? 1.4 | 0:50:05 | 0:50:12 | |
million kids, two to three in every
class, have speech, language and | 0:50:12 | 0:50:17 | |
communication problems. The question
is, are they getting the help they | 0:50:17 | 0:50:22 | |
need? Report out today says they are
not. That report is from the royal | 0:50:22 | 0:50:26 | |
college of speech and language
therapist and the communication | 0:50:26 | 0:50:30 | |
charity that gave us exclusive
access to these new figures that is | 0:50:30 | 0:50:34 | |
a problem out there and it needs
fixing. Have a look at this. | 0:50:34 | 0:50:39 | |
Harry is happy and helpful but with
profound orders and he struggles to | 0:50:39 | 0:50:43 | |
communicate. Despite being twice
assessed as having a problem, he has | 0:50:43 | 0:50:47 | |
never been under the treatment of an
NHS speech and language therapist. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:51 | |
You have pushed and pushed, haven't
you? Pushed and pushed. We have a | 0:50:51 | 0:50:57 | |
multiagency meeting every 12 weeks
for Harry. Each time we've attended | 0:50:57 | 0:51:00 | |
there is never a speech therapist,
whereas a speech therapist... The | 0:51:00 | 0:51:06 | |
same thing as happened for 18
months. Rather than therapy for | 0:51:06 | 0:51:13 | |
Harry the NHS has offered training,
which they tell me can be very | 0:51:13 | 0:51:18 | |
beneficial. She now pays for private
therapy. IMing a good position | 0:51:18 | 0:51:22 | |
because I can do that but a lot of
say it's -- they can't. Here in | 0:51:22 | 0:51:31 | |
Birmingham they also feel badly let
down. As class starts the teacher | 0:51:31 | 0:51:34 | |
tries to hold their attention. A bit
more interested in our camera. Most | 0:51:34 | 0:51:39 | |
are eventually able to follow the
song and joining the action is. But | 0:51:39 | 0:51:45 | |
some really struggle. Not just to
speak but to pay attention, to | 0:51:45 | 0:51:51 | |
understand and follow instruction,
all part of a speech, language and | 0:51:51 | 0:51:55 | |
communication needs. It's
frustrating for us because we get | 0:51:55 | 0:51:59 | |
children that almost feel they've
been written off because sometimes | 0:51:59 | 0:52:02 | |
parents have already noticed there
is a problem and they've tried to | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
get help, they've gone and nothing
has happened. This is why the school | 0:52:05 | 0:52:10 | |
brought in Diana. She was part of a
speech and language team in the NHS | 0:52:10 | 0:52:16 | |
before being laid off with a number
of colleagues five years ago. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:20 | |
Developing speech and language in
children is in the target, like | 0:52:20 | 0:52:23 | |
cancer or heart or diabetes. If you
do get the speech and language | 0:52:23 | 0:52:27 | |
right, what else goes wrong? You
don't learn to read and write. Ten | 0:52:27 | 0:52:33 | |
years ago, the government
commissioned a report which flagged | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
problems here and led to promises to
deliver better services for children | 0:52:36 | 0:52:44 | |
is like this. The Department of
Health says there are around 160 | 0:52:44 | 0:52:50 | |
more therapies today and the
government has an extra 2 million | 0:52:50 | 0:52:53 | |
into therapy. But look at this from
a recent Ofsted and QC due report. | 0:52:53 | 0:53:00 | |
Today a new survey finds only 15% of
parents and therapist believe there | 0:53:04 | 0:53:09 | |
are enough services in their area.
They say this will have | 0:53:09 | 0:53:12 | |
consequences. Data shows that over
60% at least have communication | 0:53:12 | 0:53:17 | |
difficulties in the youth justice
system, but made any vulnerable | 0:53:17 | 0:53:20 | |
group of children, children with
mental health issues, children that | 0:53:20 | 0:53:27 | |
are excluded or on the fringe of the
excluded, and the youth justice | 0:53:27 | 0:53:31 | |
system, the majority have
communication difficulties. | 0:53:31 | 0:53:35 | |
Communication underpins everything,
from reading and writing to making | 0:53:35 | 0:53:38 | |
friends and making a future. Get it
wrong and many kids will flounder. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:45 | |
We know resources on the NHS are
stressed and there is an increased | 0:53:45 | 0:53:50 | |
demand across the board and a
problem recruiting. Let's chat to | 0:53:50 | 0:53:53 | |
the kids. Thank you so much for
waking up so early to talk to us. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:58 | |
What time will you up this morning?
5:47am. What time do you normally | 0:53:58 | 0:54:05 | |
wake up? Seven a.m.. A big thanks
for doing this. Tell me what you | 0:54:05 | 0:54:12 | |
love doing and learning about in
this room, Sophie? I love learning | 0:54:12 | 0:54:17 | |
about the forest and everything. Did
you learn about the tribe that | 0:54:17 | 0:54:26 | |
hugged the trees to try and save
them? Yeah. Can you imagine doing | 0:54:26 | 0:54:30 | |
that? What about you, Charles? Its
interactive and fun. What's your | 0:54:30 | 0:54:35 | |
favourite subject at school? Maths.
You are -- are you very good at it? | 0:54:35 | 0:54:48 | |
Yes. Rachel, thank you for letting
us in this morning. So good to speak | 0:54:48 | 0:54:55 | |
to you. What are the kids working
towards? Hywel is the education here | 0:54:55 | 0:55:00 | |
different to education in the
mainstream? -- how we as. We cover | 0:55:00 | 0:55:04 | |
all the same subjects. We have
science, history, citizenship, | 0:55:04 | 0:55:07 | |
everything. What happens when they
go to stage four is they work | 0:55:07 | 0:55:13 | |
towards their entry-level GCSEs and
other core vocations. No child | 0:55:13 | 0:55:17 | |
leaves the school without the next
Debby Miller being sought out for | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
them, whether that be an internship,
employment or going on to college. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:24 | |
-- the next step for them. And the
aim is to foster lots of | 0:55:24 | 0:55:32 | |
independence? I think we need to
remember that our students have the | 0:55:32 | 0:55:36 | |
same aspirations as other students,
to go on and live independent and | 0:55:36 | 0:55:41 | |
fulfilling lives in the work force
and to achieve the goals they set | 0:55:41 | 0:55:45 | |
for themselves. William. We'll chat
more later -- brilliant. You all had | 0:55:45 | 0:55:50 | |
a sleepover last night here. What
did you have to eat? McDonalds. Are | 0:55:50 | 0:55:56 | |
you going to make a first
formulated? No. Sophie! You let me | 0:55:56 | 0:56:02 | |
down! Back to you.
No breakfast for you! | 0:56:02 | 0:56:08 | |
They are going to starve me!
Thanks. We will see Lou later as | 0:56:08 | 0:56:15 | |
well. She loved that Irish
wolfhound, Fergus. She will have | 0:56:15 | 0:56:21 | |
another therapy dog with her later.
Josh, the great dane. They will talk | 0:56:21 | 0:56:27 | |
about how they are helping the
children interact, be more calm and | 0:56:27 | 0:56:31 | |
where of animals and how to react to
animals. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:34 | |
Very much in keeping with the
coverage this week, looking at the | 0:56:34 | 0:56:38 | |
problems people are facing and also
the success stories, people who have | 0:56:38 | 0:56:41 | |
achieved amazing things and overcome
real problems. | 0:56:41 | 1:00:02 | |
I'm back with the latest
from the BBC London newsroom | 1:00:02 | 1:00:04 | |
in half an hour. | 1:00:04 | 1:00:06 | |
Plenty more on our website
at the usual address. | 1:00:06 | 1:00:08 | |
Bye for now. | 1:00:08 | 1:00:11 | |
Hello this is Breakfast,
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 1:00:11 | 1:00:13 | |
Munchetty. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:14 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective
tells the BBC he was shocked | 1:00:14 | 1:00:17 | |
by the amount of pornography viewed
on a computer seized from the office | 1:00:17 | 1:00:21 | |
of the First Secretary
of State, Damian Green. | 1:00:21 | 1:00:26 | |
The technology specialist says
thousands of images containing legal | 1:00:26 | 1:00:29 | |
pornographic material
were on a device in his | 1:00:29 | 1:00:31 | |
Westminster office. | 1:00:31 | 1:00:31 | |
Mr Green has vehemently denied
looking at pornography at work. | 1:00:31 | 1:00:35 | |
Good morning, it's Friday
the 1st of December. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:42 | |
Also this morning: | 1:00:42 | 1:00:53 | |
Concern that untrained staff have
been left to check x-rays in NHS | 1:00:53 | 1:00:56 | |
in NHS hospitals. | 1:00:56 | 1:00:58 | |
The health watchdog launches
an England-wide review. | 1:00:58 | 1:01:02 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle head
to Nottingham for first public | 1:01:02 | 1:01:05 | |
engagement together
since they announced | 1:01:05 | 1:01:06 | |
their plans to marry. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:11 | |
For the end of our amazing series on
special educational needs, we are at | 1:01:11 | 1:01:19 | |
Piper Hill High in Manchester, where
they are ready for Christmas. We've | 1:01:19 | 1:01:22 | |
been given unique access to this
outstanding special school this | 1:01:22 | 1:01:25 | |
morning. With me is the head teacher
and Wendy and Fergus. Good morning. | 1:01:25 | 1:01:29 | |
I know | 1:01:29 | 1:01:31 | |
and Wendy and Fergus. Good morning.
I know you read to Fergus. What do | 1:01:31 | 1:01:34 | |
you read to him? Presence to Mum. We
have been preparing everybody. We've | 1:01:34 | 1:01:40 | |
been asking the questions as though
he were really here. What do you | 1:01:40 | 1:01:44 | |
like about Fergus? I like touching
him. You like stroking him. Amazing. | 1:01:44 | 1:01:52 | |
Wonderful to see Fergus and
throughout the morning we will see | 1:01:52 | 1:01:56 | |
that everything in this school is
the same, but just a little bit | 1:01:56 | 1:02:00 | |
different. As it is in the kitchen.
Good morning! This is where everyone | 1:02:00 | 1:02:04 | |
learns about leaving an independent
life, and to do that you need | 1:02:04 | 1:02:09 | |
communication skills. This morning,
news of a report which says too many | 1:02:09 | 1:02:13 | |
children are getting the help they
need to deal with communication | 1:02:13 | 1:02:16 | |
problems. More later. The Royal Bank
of Scotland has announced it will | 1:02:16 | 1:02:21 | |
close 2000 branches which will
affect almost 700 jobs. More details | 1:02:21 | 1:02:25 | |
shortly.
In the sport, the day of destiny for | 1:02:25 | 1:02:30 | |
32 nations. We discover who and
where they will play in the World | 1:02:30 | 1:02:34 | |
Cup finals in Russia. England are
not one of the top seeds. They could | 1:02:34 | 1:02:38 | |
play Brazil, Argentina or Germany.
And over to the weather. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:44 | |
Good morning. It is the start of the
meteorological winter, so I've come | 1:02:44 | 1:02:51 | |
to the Royal Pavilion in Brighton to
get into the mood. After a frosty | 1:02:51 | 1:02:55 | |
and icy start to Friday it is set to
get milder. The forecast coming up | 1:02:55 | 1:02:59 | |
in 15 minutes. The forecast on ice
skates, who could want more? | 1:02:59 | 1:03:04 | |
Good morning, first our main story. | 1:03:04 | 1:03:05 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective has
told BBC News he was shocked | 1:03:05 | 1:03:09 | |
by the amount of pornography
on a Parliamentary computer seized | 1:03:09 | 1:03:11 | |
from the office of the First
Secretary of State, Damian Green. | 1:03:11 | 1:03:14 | |
Neil Lewis examined the device
during an inquiry into government | 1:03:14 | 1:03:17 | |
leaks in 2008. | 1:03:17 | 1:03:21 | |
Mr Green has vehemently denied
looking at pornography at work. | 1:03:21 | 1:03:26 | |
Mr Lewis, a retired computer
forensics specialist, | 1:03:26 | 1:03:30 | |
who hasn't spoken out before said
analysis of the way the computer had | 1:03:30 | 1:03:34 | |
been used left him in "no doubt
whatsoever" that the material had | 1:03:34 | 1:03:37 | |
been accessed by Mr Green. | 1:03:37 | 1:03:38 | |
He's Theresa May's oldest and most
trusted political ally. | 1:03:38 | 1:03:41 | |
But now Damian Green is facing
a battle for political | 1:03:41 | 1:03:45 | |
survival, amid claims he viewed
pornography on his work computer. | 1:03:45 | 1:03:48 | |
Mr Green has vehemently
denied the allegations. | 1:03:48 | 1:03:50 | |
I had an exemplary record. | 1:03:50 | 1:03:56 | |
But now the detective who examined
the device has given me his account. | 1:03:56 | 1:04:00 | |
The shocking thing was that,
as I was viewing it, | 1:04:00 | 1:04:03 | |
I noticed a lot of pornography
thumbnails, which indicated web | 1:04:03 | 1:04:05 | |
browsing. | 1:04:05 | 1:04:09 | |
But a lot, there was a lot of them. | 1:04:09 | 1:04:12 | |
So I was surprised to see that
on a parliamentary computer. | 1:04:12 | 1:04:19 | |
How many images did you see? | 1:04:19 | 1:04:28 | |
Thousands. | 1:04:28 | 1:04:29 | |
Thousands of pornographic images? | 1:04:29 | 1:04:32 | |
Thumbnail images. | 1:04:32 | 1:04:37 | |
The computer had been seized
in 2008 after police | 1:04:37 | 1:04:39 | |
raided Damian Green's offices. | 1:04:39 | 1:04:40 | |
The MP, then in opposition,
was the subject of an unrelated | 1:04:40 | 1:04:43 | |
enquiry into Home Office leaks. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:45 | |
He was never charged. | 1:04:45 | 1:04:46 | |
How can you be sure
it was Damian Green | 1:04:46 | 1:04:48 | |
who was accessing the pornography? | 1:04:48 | 1:04:53 | |
There is a phrase, you can't put
fingers on a keyboard. | 1:04:53 | 1:04:57 | |
So I can't say that. | 1:04:57 | 1:04:58 | |
But the computer was in Mr Green's
office, on his desk. | 1:04:58 | 1:05:01 | |
Logged in, his account, his name. | 1:05:01 | 1:05:03 | |
In between browsing
pornography he was sending | 1:05:03 | 1:05:04 | |
emails from his account,
his personal account. | 1:05:04 | 1:05:14 | |
Reading documents,
writing documents. | 1:05:14 | 1:05:16 | |
The Cabinet office is
examining the pornography | 1:05:16 | 1:05:21 | |
claims as part of a wider enquiry
into Mr Green's conduct. | 1:05:21 | 1:05:24 | |
But Neil Lewis has not
been asked to give | 1:05:24 | 1:05:27 | |
evidence. | 1:05:27 | 1:05:27 | |
A spokesperson for Damian Green said
it would the inappropriate | 1:05:27 | 1:05:34 | |
for Mr Green to comment
while the Cabinet office | 1:05:34 | 1:05:36 | |
investigation was continuing. | 1:05:36 | 1:05:47 | |
However, the spokesperson said
that Damian Green had: | 1:05:47 | 1:05:49 | |
Mr Green maintains his innocence. | 1:05:49 | 1:05:55 | |
We can speak now to our political
correspondent, Iain Watson. I | 1:05:55 | 1:06:00 | |
understand you have more on some of
what is coming out from Damian | 1:06:00 | 1:06:04 | |
Green's side, we saw the statement a
moment ago? Yes, effectively, Damian | 1:06:04 | 1:06:10 | |
Green is not commenting on tour this
Cabinet office enquiry, this | 1:06:10 | 1:06:13 | |
Whitehall enquiry into his conduct,
actually reports. But friends of his | 1:06:13 | 1:06:18 | |
are speaking this morning and they
are saying to make things, | 1:06:18 | 1:06:21 | |
fundamentally. First of all, they
are gobsmacked that senior police | 1:06:21 | 1:06:26 | |
officers, former police officers,
are putting into the public domain | 1:06:26 | 1:06:30 | |
confidential information which was
obtained by undertaking a completely | 1:06:30 | 1:06:33 | |
separate enquiry, not an enquiry
into pornography. They believe they | 1:06:33 | 1:06:38 | |
have breached a duty of
confidentiality and they believe | 1:06:38 | 1:06:40 | |
there is a campaign to get Damian
Green. Secondly, as far as I | 1:06:40 | 1:06:46 | |
understand it, until that enquiry
reports, I have been told that | 1:06:46 | 1:06:50 | |
despite the new allegations this
morning and the interview with Neil | 1:06:50 | 1:06:53 | |
Lewis, who examined that computer,
Damian Green is minded to stay in | 1:06:53 | 1:06:57 | |
office. He is not going to fall on
his sword simply because of these | 1:06:57 | 1:07:01 | |
new allegations. And as we heard,
officially, he will deny all of the | 1:07:01 | 1:07:05 | |
allegations put to him. But also,
his friends are saying, look, even | 1:07:05 | 1:07:10 | |
the police admit that anything that
was found was legal. It didn't break | 1:07:10 | 1:07:14 | |
the law. So they are saying, do not
expect their ministerial | 1:07:14 | 1:07:17 | |
resignation. They want the focus to
shift back onto the police and the | 1:07:17 | 1:07:22 | |
motivation those police officers,
putting this into the public domain | 1:07:22 | 1:07:25 | |
in the first place. Health
inspectors have ordered a review of | 1:07:25 | 1:07:33 | |
all NHS radiology services in
England after a hospital in | 1:07:33 | 1:07:35 | |
Portsmouth failed to spot three
cases of lung cancer. An | 1:07:35 | 1:07:39 | |
investigation by the Care Quality
Commission found 20,000 scans had | 1:07:39 | 1:07:42 | |
not been assessed correctly at the
Queen Alexandra Hospital and junior | 1:07:42 | 1:07:46 | |
doctors were left to interpret the
results without the appropriate | 1:07:46 | 1:07:48 | |
training. The trust has apologised
to the families affected. | 1:07:48 | 1:07:54 | |
MPs scrutinising the government's
Brexit plans says border controls | 1:07:54 | 1:07:56 | |
between Northern Ireland
and the Irish Republic | 1:07:56 | 1:07:58 | |
are inevitable if the UK leaves
the EU single market | 1:07:58 | 1:08:01 | |
and customs union. | 1:08:01 | 1:08:02 | |
The Commons Brexit Committee says
ministers have failed to explain how | 1:08:02 | 1:08:05 | |
the issue can be resolved,
and that the proposals they've come | 1:08:05 | 1:08:08 | |
up with - such as the
use of technology - | 1:08:08 | 1:08:10 | |
are "untested" and "speculative." | 1:08:10 | 1:08:12 | |
The Argentine navy has abandoned
efforts to rescue the 44 crew | 1:08:12 | 1:08:15 | |
members of a submarine that
disappeared two weeks ago. | 1:08:15 | 1:08:18 | |
Thousands of people have been
involved in the search | 1:08:18 | 1:08:20 | |
for the San Juan, covering a 40,000
square kilometre area of the South | 1:08:20 | 1:08:24 | |
Atlantic. | 1:08:24 | 1:08:24 | |
The authorities say they will still
try to locate the wreckage. | 1:08:24 | 1:08:34 | |
In breaking news this morning, news
about the Royal Bank of Scotland, | 1:08:34 | 1:08:37 | |
announcing it is closing 259 of its
branches. Sean has been looking at | 1:08:37 | 1:08:42 | |
the details. Yes, they have come
through in the last few minutes. | 1:08:42 | 1:08:46 | |
There is a bit of a breakdown
between 60 to RBS branches and 197 | 1:08:46 | 1:08:50 | |
NatWest branches, with RBS owning
NatWest. We do not have exact | 1:08:50 | 1:08:55 | |
details of those locations were,
across the country, they have been | 1:08:55 | 1:08:58 | |
closed yet. There is no stopping
them branch closures stories. We | 1:08:58 | 1:09:02 | |
heard the day before yesterday,
Lloyds bank closing some branches | 1:09:02 | 1:09:06 | |
around the country as well.
Monkhorst around 800 range closures | 1:09:06 | 1:09:09 | |
around the country. -- on course for
around 800 branch closures. More and | 1:09:09 | 1:09:17 | |
more, customers are using everyday
banking online or on mobile. 40% | 1:09:17 | 1:09:21 | |
fewer customers are using branches.
And actually, mobile transactions of | 1:09:21 | 1:09:26 | |
whatever it is people are doing
online have increased a 73% since to | 1:09:26 | 1:09:30 | |
14. So in the last three years they
have nearly doubled the amount of | 1:09:30 | 1:09:36 | |
transactions that customers are
doing on their mobile phones. The | 1:09:36 | 1:09:40 | |
concerns about all of this, it is
always about our communities are | 1:09:40 | 1:09:43 | |
affected when banks close down, and
where they can afford to lose these | 1:09:43 | 1:09:47 | |
doubling up of branches if they have
done. So, the city, kind of, that | 1:09:47 | 1:09:53 | |
perhaps absorbs those forces better
than smaller areas? Yes. Definitely. | 1:09:53 | 1:09:58 | |
Urban areas, you are going to be
more likely to have a branch to go | 1:09:58 | 1:10:02 | |
to. The Post Office has tried to
take over a lot of those services. | 1:10:02 | 1:10:06 | |
If you are in a small village and
you have a post office, the chances | 1:10:06 | 1:10:10 | |
are that you will be able to deposit
money into your bank account through | 1:10:10 | 1:10:14 | |
a post office and use lots of the
service is there. But there is now a | 1:10:14 | 1:10:18 | |
question around how many villagers
have post offices. It will be | 1:10:18 | 1:10:21 | |
interesting, we have heard so much
about closures, if you actually see | 1:10:21 | 1:10:24 | |
a shift in accounts because people
value banks. And of course those 680 | 1:10:24 | 1:10:30 | |
potential redundancies, alongside
these bank closures as well. Which | 1:10:30 | 1:10:32 | |
staff have been informed about.
Sean, thank you. The time now is | 1:10:32 | 1:10:37 | |
7:10am. All this week on the
Breakfast we have been discussing | 1:10:37 | 1:10:42 | |
special educational needs, looking
at the challenges faced by disabled | 1:10:42 | 1:10:46 | |
children and their families. Thank
you for getting in touch with us. | 1:10:46 | 1:10:49 | |
You have told as many of your
personal, powerful stories, and have | 1:10:49 | 1:10:53 | |
spoken about your tales of
struggling. But there have been | 1:10:53 | 1:10:55 | |
positive stories as well, stories of
hope and success. Today, Louise is | 1:10:55 | 1:10:59 | |
spending the morning at a special
school in Manchester, seeing how | 1:10:59 | 1:11:03 | |
teachers then make sure that every
child fulfil their potential. You | 1:11:03 | 1:11:06 | |
are next to the swimming pool now?
Good morning. Yes, you know that if | 1:11:06 | 1:11:13 | |
there is a swimming pool I am
virtually in it, as you can see. | 1:11:13 | 1:11:17 | |
This is an amazing school. It is a
special school, Piper Hill High in | 1:11:17 | 1:11:24 | |
Manchester. We are here all morning,
getting amazing access to what they | 1:11:24 | 1:11:27 | |
are doing with children here. We
know from our own research on Has | 1:11:27 | 1:11:30 | |
this week, and thank you to so many
people who have gotten in touch, | 1:11:30 | 1:11:34 | |
that many parents are trying to get
their kids into schools like this in | 1:11:34 | 1:11:38 | |
England. You can see this morning
what kind of difference that can | 1:11:38 | 1:11:41 | |
make to some children. That is what
we've been studying this morning. | 1:11:41 | 1:11:45 | |
Amazing to see the work that is
going on. One of the things we have | 1:11:45 | 1:11:49 | |
in asking is, what about mainstream
education? Is an emphasis on that in | 1:11:49 | 1:11:53 | |
Scotland in particular. Lorna Gordon
has been to investigate how that | 1:11:53 | 1:11:56 | |
works there. | 1:11:56 | 1:12:03 | |
# Park the angels sing... It is
morning at Juniper Hill primer | 1:12:03 | 1:12:08 | |
school in Edinburgh. On the
timetable for these children in | 1:12:08 | 1:12:11 | |
their fourth year, music, spelling
and Storytime. And their daily mile | 1:12:11 | 1:12:14 | |
of exercise. Ewan, who has cerebral
palsy, takes part in all the classes | 1:12:14 | 1:12:22 | |
and activities. He has really good
friends here. What is a name? That's | 1:12:22 | 1:12:26 | |
Phoebe? And he has 1-to-1 help
throughout the school day. You and | 1:12:26 | 1:12:31 | |
you spend a lot of time together? We
are together quite a lot, every | 1:12:31 | 1:12:36 | |
morning, forever three years now. He
is a happy wee boy. He enjoys | 1:12:36 | 1:12:40 | |
himself at school. In Scotland, the
aim is to keep children with | 1:12:40 | 1:12:45 | |
additional support needs in
mainstream schools. In England, | 1:12:45 | 1:12:48 | |
there has been an increase in
special schools and fewer children | 1:12:48 | 1:12:52 | |
kept in mainstream ones. UN's mother
Jane says these cottage system has | 1:12:52 | 1:12:58 | |
worked well for her sun. -- of the
Scottish system. It has given him a | 1:12:58 | 1:13:03 | |
sense of belonging to his community,
a sense of worth and respect. He is | 1:13:03 | 1:13:07 | |
with his brother and sister. His
independence has increased. And he | 1:13:07 | 1:13:10 | |
seems to really enjoy it. He loved
school. A quarter of children in | 1:13:10 | 1:13:15 | |
Scotland have what is called here
additional support needs. In | 1:13:15 | 1:13:18 | |
England, one in seven. But there is
a broader definition here, which | 1:13:18 | 1:13:23 | |
includes family circumstances,
health, disability, and though the | 1:13:23 | 1:13:26 | |
number receiving extra help in
Scotland has in recent years gone | 1:13:26 | 1:13:29 | |
up, the number of special support
teachers has dropped. There is | 1:13:29 | 1:13:33 | |
absolutely a squeeze. There is
pressure on the workforce in the | 1:13:33 | 1:13:38 | |
schools, to meet the broad range of
needs of people 's. But there is | 1:13:38 | 1:13:42 | |
also exceptionally good practice.
Exceptionally good practice taking | 1:13:42 | 1:13:46 | |
place which we need to really learn
from. These mothers, who take their | 1:13:46 | 1:13:51 | |
children to be yard and adventure
play centre for their children, say | 1:13:51 | 1:13:56 | |
that their priority is the right to
choose. I want an autism school for | 1:13:56 | 1:14:00 | |
my son, which has a small classes of
about six, so he will get the best | 1:14:00 | 1:14:05 | |
education. At the moment he is in
the mainstream environment. He is | 1:14:05 | 1:14:08 | |
depressive. He is overwhelmed. For
our daughter, it was clear that she | 1:14:08 | 1:14:12 | |
got a lot more from mainstream,
because what they were offering was | 1:14:12 | 1:14:17 | |
appropriate to how she learns and
what she wants to learn about. The | 1:14:17 | 1:14:22 | |
Scottish government says children
should be school where their needs | 1:14:22 | 1:14:25 | |
are best met, either in special
schools in mainstream ones. The | 1:14:25 | 1:14:28 | |
local school has worked out well for
you and. His family would not want | 1:14:28 | 1:14:32 | |
it any other way. | 1:14:32 | 1:14:37 | |
Lovely to see Ewan enjoying school.
It is Connor, who is swimming with | 1:14:40 | 1:14:47 | |
his teacher. Also Rowan. We are in
the therapy school pool. Adam, can I | 1:14:47 | 1:14:55 | |
interrupt with a second? We say
about this school that everything is | 1:14:55 | 1:15:02 | |
the same but a little bit different
and this is a really key | 1:15:02 | 1:15:05 | |
illustration of that. Tell us a bit
about this room and this pool. It's | 1:15:05 | 1:15:09 | |
brilliant. It is a therapy pool, so
it's really warm. All our students | 1:15:09 | 1:15:15 | |
get different benefits. Some
students get benefits for their | 1:15:15 | 1:15:17 | |
muscles and joints. Other students
like Connor and Rowan, we work on | 1:15:17 | 1:15:26 | |
basic swimming skills and confidence
skills, getting them used to the | 1:15:26 | 1:15:29 | |
water and comfortable. Obviously
it's a really sensory environment | 1:15:29 | 1:15:36 | |
for them as well. They all
absolutely love it and the staff | 1:15:36 | 1:15:40 | |
enjoy it. It's a really good
experience for everybody. A perfect | 1:15:40 | 1:15:47 | |
environment for us to work towards
the swimming targets and | 1:15:47 | 1:15:50 | |
communication targets and
physiotherapy targets. Of course | 1:15:50 | 1:15:54 | |
winning is a really important life
skill, isn't it? -- swimming. It is. | 1:15:54 | 1:15:59 | |
I'm very keen swimmer as well. It is
important that students are | 1:15:59 | 1:16:04 | |
comfortable in the water and
developing these basic skills, so | 1:16:04 | 1:16:07 | |
that they can even just access pools
outside the school and enjoy | 1:16:07 | 1:16:12 | |
themselves in local facilities and
things as well. I am a really keen | 1:16:12 | 1:16:17 | |
swimmer and pools... Rowan, it is
lovely to see you, Rowan. I was just | 1:16:17 | 1:16:29 | |
saying that pools can in some ways
be quite intimidating places, so | 1:16:29 | 1:16:33 | |
presumably that's another reason why
they are here getting used to the | 1:16:33 | 1:16:36 | |
environment? Absolutely. And by
getting used to this environment we | 1:16:36 | 1:16:42 | |
can often take them out of school,
some of the more independent | 1:16:42 | 1:16:46 | |
learners do well go into the local
pool fulsome in lessons as well. So | 1:16:46 | 1:16:50 | |
there's a really good slimming
programme across the school -- | 1:16:50 | 1:16:54 | |
swimming. You talked a bit about the
physiotherapy. That is presumably an | 1:16:54 | 1:17:00 | |
important part of the school as
well? Very important. The physios | 1:17:00 | 1:17:05 | |
worked with the school and they set
targets and, like I said before, | 1:17:05 | 1:17:11 | |
this is the perfect sensory
environment. There's the heat for | 1:17:11 | 1:17:15 | |
the muscles, so they can achieve
those physio targets. And it's great | 1:17:15 | 1:17:19 | |
fun. It's been lovely watching you.
I'll let you get on with it. We are | 1:17:19 | 1:17:25 | |
here all morning and this really is
an extraordinary school. It's | 1:17:25 | 1:17:28 | |
wonderful to see what's going on.
We've been really touched by the | 1:17:28 | 1:17:33 | |
many messages you've sent us. Do
keep in touch this morning. | 1:17:33 | 1:17:38 | |
Hopefully we can answer some of your
questions as well. | 1:17:38 | 1:17:43 | |
Thanks very much. Lovely hearing
those stories. And it is very much | 1:17:43 | 1:17:47 | |
concentrating throughout the week on
some of the success stories, because | 1:17:47 | 1:17:54 | |
huge impacts can be made on young
people in particular. | 1:17:54 | 1:17:58 | |
Very encouraging, knowing that 40%
of all children at some point in | 1:17:58 | 1:18:02 | |
their lives will need some kind of
educational needs. You can still get | 1:18:02 | 1:18:07 | |
in touch, as Lou said. E-mail us or
Twitter as using the hashtag BBC | 1:18:07 | 1:18:19 | |
send. | 1:18:19 | 1:18:20 | |
Matt's in Brighton
with the weather. | 1:18:20 | 1:18:24 | |
He is reflecting on the weather.
He has been skating! | 1:18:24 | 1:18:30 | |
Brilliant!
I taught them everything I knew. | 1:18:30 | 1:18:34 | |
Thank you very much. It is my annual
jaunt on the ice, which happens once | 1:18:34 | 1:18:42 | |
a year, and of course it had to be
at | 1:18:42 | 1:18:44 | |
a year, and of course it had to be
at the start of the meteorological | 1:18:44 | 1:18:46 | |
winter, which is today. It is a cold
start, but it has become a little | 1:18:46 | 1:18:51 | |
less cold over the next few days. I
am in Brighton at the Royal | 1:18:51 | 1:18:56 | |
Pavilion. Ice rinks are popping up
UK wide at the moment and this one | 1:18:56 | 1:19:02 | |
is here until the 14th of January.
We've had a bit of rain this morning | 1:19:02 | 1:19:07 | |
and that's a sign that things are
starting to change. Let's take a | 1:19:07 | 1:19:11 | |
look at the forecast. This weekend
it is set to turn cloudy and a | 1:19:11 | 1:19:14 | |
little bit milder. Not as chilly as
the last few days. We start with a | 1:19:14 | 1:19:20 | |
lot of cloud to the north of
Scotland. Rain temperatures lifting | 1:19:20 | 1:19:23 | |
already. A frosty start for the rest
of Scotland. East of the Pennines | 1:19:23 | 1:19:31 | |
and down across eastern England,
still a few showers around. Ice to | 1:19:31 | 1:19:34 | |
watch out for, first thing after
yesterday's snow. Sleet and snow | 1:19:34 | 1:19:39 | |
mixed in with the showers, mainly
over the hills. Mostly turning back | 1:19:39 | 1:19:43 | |
to rain now. Still windy towards
East Anglia and the south-east. The | 1:19:43 | 1:19:49 | |
western half of England and Wales, a
different story altogether. Just a | 1:19:49 | 1:19:53 | |
couple of isolated showers. Most
start the David Frost on the ground. | 1:19:53 | 1:19:59 | |
A fine day for many, with winds than
yesterday. A sunny start in Northern | 1:19:59 | 1:20:04 | |
Ireland as well, where temperatures
dropped below -4 overnight. In the | 1:20:04 | 1:20:08 | |
sunshine it is set to turn cloudy.
Still cool, even with the cloud and | 1:20:08 | 1:20:13 | |
patchy rain pushing on. In Northern
Ireland and Scotland, cloudy | 1:20:13 | 1:20:18 | |
conditions moving down. Being a bit
of rain here and there. Still a lot | 1:20:18 | 1:20:23 | |
of dry weather. Much of England and
Wales, away from say the far east | 1:20:23 | 1:20:29 | |
around coastal counties and East
Anglia, a few showers. Still chilly, | 1:20:29 | 1:20:36 | |
even though temperatures are up on
yesterday. Overnight we start to | 1:20:36 | 1:20:43 | |
clear. Temperatures rising for many.
Some patchy rain. There could be a | 1:20:43 | 1:20:50 | |
bit of ice if you | 1:20:50 | 1:20:56 | |
east, but for most temperatures will
be freezing to stop the weekend. A | 1:20:56 | 1:20:57 | |
little bit cold on Saturday...
INAUDIBLE. Lots of cloud around. | 1:20:57 | 1:21:03 | |
Patchy rain across the south to
start Saturday. Heavy bursts in | 1:21:03 | 1:21:07 | |
northern Scotland. A lot of dry
weather. The best of the cloud | 1:21:07 | 1:21:12 | |
breaks to the east of the hills.
Temperatures starting to warm up in | 1:21:12 | 1:21:15 | |
northern Scotland. Still chilly
towards the south-east. The milder | 1:21:15 | 1:21:21 | |
air will be with us all by the time
we get to Sunday. Rain overnight, | 1:21:21 | 1:21:25 | |
which will clear away the patchy
fog. Patchy rain first thing in the | 1:21:25 | 1:21:29 | |
south-east. Most will have a dry day
away from drizzle in the west. The | 1:21:29 | 1:21:33 | |
brighter day of the weekend with the
best of the sunshine in eastern | 1:21:33 | 1:21:37 | |
areas. Certainly a change after the
cold conditions of autumn. Winter | 1:21:37 | 1:21:43 | |
arrives and the temperatures are on
the | 1:21:43 | 1:21:45 | |
arrives and the temperatures are on
the up. Back to you. | 1:21:45 | 1:21:46 | |
Thanks very much. | 1:21:46 | 1:21:52 | |
Shortly after their engagement
was announced on Monday, | 1:21:52 | 1:21:54 | |
Prince Harry's fiance Meghan Markle
revealed it was a shared passion | 1:21:54 | 1:21:57 | |
for social change that
got him a second date. | 1:21:57 | 1:22:00 | |
Later today, the couple
will undertake their first joint | 1:22:00 | 1:22:02 | |
royal visit in Nottingham. | 1:22:02 | 1:22:03 | |
We're joined now by Allan Bryce,
editor of Royal Life magazine, | 1:22:03 | 1:22:10 | |
and by Dominic Edwardes
from the Terrence Higgins Trust, | 1:22:10 | 1:22:12 | |
one of the charities
that the pair will visit. | 1:22:12 | 1:22:15 | |
You must be very excited as this is
the first high profile visit by a | 1:22:15 | 1:22:22 | |
newly engaged couple? We are
absolutely thrilled that Prince | 1:22:22 | 1:22:26 | |
Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen
to come to Nottingham to our fair | 1:22:26 | 1:22:29 | |
this afternoon. It really underlines
his great support for HIV as a | 1:22:29 | 1:22:35 | |
cause. No one can underestimate the
power of having such a high profile | 1:22:35 | 1:22:41 | |
couple, where the media is
interested and many people in the | 1:22:41 | 1:22:45 | |
country and the world are watching.
It raises the profile of the work | 1:22:45 | 1:22:48 | |
you are doing. Absolutely. It's
invaluable. Rinse Harry has been | 1:22:48 | 1:22:54 | |
fantastic at raising awareness
around HIV -- Prince Harry. And | 1:22:54 | 1:22:58 | |
highlighting the amazing progress
that's been made in the fight | 1:22:58 | 1:23:02 | |
against HIV in the UK. Give us a
sense of how you think since Monday | 1:23:02 | 1:23:08 | |
this news has been received and how
they are already starting to make | 1:23:08 | 1:23:11 | |
their mark Betts it was obvious that
they would hit the ground running | 1:23:11 | 1:23:15 | |
--? It was obvious. She has already
been involved in plenty of charity | 1:23:15 | 1:23:21 | |
work and the fact that she has now
got to get to know Britain, her | 1:23:21 | 1:23:26 | |
adopted country, so she will be
doing stuff for the Royal | 1:23:26 | 1:23:30 | |
foundation. She is discovering the
country now and she will be going | 1:23:30 | 1:23:40 | |
around and taking part in
engagements. She is immediately | 1:23:40 | 1:23:45 | |
making her mark because she is so
photogenic, she is camera savvy, she | 1:23:45 | 1:23:51 | |
is really the dream. Unlike Princess
Diana or even Sarah Ferguson. She is | 1:23:51 | 1:24:01 | |
used to the limelight and the
paparazzi and everything else and | 1:24:01 | 1:24:04 | |
she handles it so well. How much
guidance will she be given, now that | 1:24:04 | 1:24:09 | |
it has been officially announced
that she will be part of the Royal | 1:24:09 | 1:24:13 | |
family? How much guidance will she
get in terms of how to behave and | 1:24:13 | 1:24:17 | |
how to speak? As an American she is
perhaps more outspoken and more | 1:24:17 | 1:24:21 | |
casual than we are used to. In an
interview the other day I would say | 1:24:21 | 1:24:28 | |
she probably said more than Harry
did. So she obviously knows her own | 1:24:28 | 1:24:34 | |
mind and although she will accept
the guidance I think there will be a | 1:24:34 | 1:24:39 | |
change coming from her as well. She
will influence them. She is not | 1:24:39 | 1:24:44 | |
going to just sit back and say, yes,
I will do everything I'm told. I'm | 1:24:44 | 1:24:49 | |
sure there will be a bit of quick
quote -- back and forth. She is an | 1:24:49 | 1:24:58 | |
independent woman and she already
has the media exposure, and she | 1:24:58 | 1:25:01 | |
knows how to work a camera. There
will be things she has to learn | 1:25:01 | 1:25:07 | |
about... She is learning. She will
learn the geography of the country, | 1:25:07 | 1:25:12 | |
for a start. She's also got this
thing... Public displays of | 1:25:12 | 1:25:19 | |
affection and that sort of thing are
out. Once they are married, that's | 1:25:19 | 1:25:27 | |
going to... So there will be
protocol things. I'm sure they will | 1:25:27 | 1:25:33 | |
do things on their own style. In
some ways the visit today is very | 1:25:33 | 1:25:38 | |
much on zero from Prince Harry to
his mother. -- a nod. We will | 1:25:38 | 1:25:46 | |
remember her involvement in HIV and
how brave it was when she made her | 1:25:46 | 1:25:52 | |
visits to various places and engaged
in that discussion. Absolutely. I | 1:25:52 | 1:25:59 | |
think Princess Diana's compassion
was really remarkable. But the | 1:25:59 | 1:26:03 | |
situation for people living with HIV
today is different and Prince Harry | 1:26:03 | 1:26:08 | |
and Meghan Markle's focus is on
combating the stigma people with HIV | 1:26:08 | 1:26:13 | |
face and encouraging them to come
forward to test. Because the news is | 1:26:13 | 1:26:17 | |
good for HIV in Britain today. We've
seen a 20% reduction in the number | 1:26:17 | 1:26:21 | |
of people diagnosed with HIV in the
last year, so this is really part of | 1:26:21 | 1:26:26 | |
the good news story and their
passion and commitment is vital in | 1:26:26 | 1:26:30 | |
getting people to understand the new
world of HIV. On a slightly more | 1:26:30 | 1:26:35 | |
trivial but nonetheless fascinating
note, have you been given any | 1:26:35 | 1:26:39 | |
guidance on how... What terminology
you should use around the new royal | 1:26:39 | 1:26:44 | |
couple? Do you know how to address
them? I haven't. We haven't been | 1:26:44 | 1:26:50 | |
given guidance and I think that's
part of their charm, that we've not | 1:26:50 | 1:26:55 | |
been given protocol or guidance. So
I've been referring to prints have | 1:26:55 | 1:27:00 | |
-- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle,
or Ms Markle. If anyone can give me | 1:27:00 | 1:27:08 | |
guidance, that would be wonderful. I
am sure if you are just nice to them | 1:27:08 | 1:27:13 | |
they will appreciate that! Thank you
very much. | 1:27:13 | 1:27:17 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 1:27:17 | 1:30:39 | |
I'm back with the latest
from the BBC London newsroom | 1:30:39 | 1:30:41 | |
in half an hour. | 1:30:41 | 1:30:42 | |
Bye for now. | 1:30:42 | 1:30:43 | |
Hello this is Breakfast,
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 1:30:47 | 1:30:49 | |
Munchetty. | 1:30:49 | 1:30:50 | |
It's 6:30. | 1:30:50 | 1:30:51 | |
-- 7:30. | 1:30:54 | 1:30:55 | |
We'll bring you all the latest news
and sport in a moment, | 1:30:55 | 1:30:57 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 1:30:59 | 1:31:03 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective has
told BBC News he was "shocked" | 1:31:03 | 1:31:06 | |
by the amount of pornography
on a Parliamentary computer seized | 1:31:06 | 1:31:09 | |
from the office of the First
Secretary of State, Damian Green. | 1:31:09 | 1:31:12 | |
Neil Lewis, a computer
forensics specialist, | 1:31:12 | 1:31:13 | |
examined the device
during an inquiry into government | 1:31:13 | 1:31:15 | |
leaks in 2008. | 1:31:15 | 1:31:16 | |
Mr Green has vehemently denied
looking at pornography at work. | 1:31:16 | 1:31:19 | |
Mr Lewis, who's now retired,
said he has "no doubt whatsoever" | 1:31:19 | 1:31:22 | |
that the images containing legal
pornographic material had been | 1:31:22 | 1:31:24 | |
accessed by Mr Green. | 1:31:24 | 1:31:25 | |
Health inspectors have ordered
a review of all NHS radiology | 1:31:25 | 1:31:28 | |
services in England,
after a hospital in Portsmouth | 1:31:28 | 1:31:30 | |
failed to spot three
cases of lung cancer. | 1:31:30 | 1:31:33 | |
The investigation by
the Care Quality Commission found | 1:31:33 | 1:31:35 | |
that 20,000 scans had not
been assessed correctly | 1:31:35 | 1:31:37 | |
at the Queen Alexandra Hospital,
and that junior doctors had been | 1:31:37 | 1:31:40 | |
left to interpret the results
without the appropriate training. | 1:31:40 | 1:31:42 | |
The trust has apologised
to the families affected. | 1:31:42 | 1:31:52 | |
The Royal Bank of Scotland has
announced it's to close 259 branches | 1:31:52 | 1:31:56 | |
across the UK - meaning 680 job
losses across the company The banks | 1:31:56 | 1:32:00 | |
says it's due to more customers
using mobile or online techology - | 1:32:00 | 1:32:03 | |
the number of customers
using branches has fallen by 40 | 1:32:03 | 1:32:06 | |
percent since 2014. | 1:32:06 | 1:32:07 | |
The location of those branches
is unknown and will be revealed | 1:32:07 | 1:32:10 | |
later this morning -
but affected staff have already been | 1:32:10 | 1:32:12 | |
told. | 1:32:12 | 1:32:18 | |
MPs scrutinising the government's
Brexit plans says border controls | 1:32:18 | 1:32:21 | |
between Northern Ireland
and the Irish Republic | 1:32:21 | 1:32:23 | |
are inevitable if the UK leaves
the EU single market and customs | 1:32:23 | 1:32:26 | |
union. | 1:32:26 | 1:32:26 | |
The Commons Brexit Committee says
ministers have failed to explain how | 1:32:26 | 1:32:29 | |
the issue can be resolved -
and that the proposals they've come | 1:32:29 | 1:32:33 | |
up with, such as the use
of technology - are "untested" | 1:32:33 | 1:32:36 | |
and "speculative". | 1:32:36 | 1:32:51 | |

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
are to carry out their first joint | 1:33:04 | 1:33:08 | |
official visit later. | 1:33:08 | 1:33:09 | |
The couple, who announced
their engagement on Monday, | 1:33:09 | 1:33:11 | |
will meet members of the public
at a charity fair and a school | 1:33:11 | 1:33:14 | |
in Nottingham later. | 1:33:14 | 1:33:20 | |
They're due to get married
at Windsor Castle in May. | 1:33:20 | 1:33:24 | |
Those are the main story this
morning. We will have the weather | 1:33:24 | 1:33:28 | |
with Matt, and the delightful
spectacle of the weather on ice. I | 1:33:28 | 1:33:32 | |
love it. He is good, Matt. He is
good at iceskating. I'm not bad, I'm | 1:33:32 | 1:33:38 | |
actually getting older is a get
better. What we are going to say, | 1:33:38 | 1:33:41 | |
Charlie? I was just saying, he was
telling us about the ice, he was on | 1:33:41 | 1:33:46 | |
the ice, it is all about ice. I have
a spectacle for you. Gary Lineker | 1:33:46 | 1:33:52 | |
inside the Kremlin for BBC Two,
presenting the World Cup draw to the | 1:33:52 | 1:33:56 | |
world. It is not often that I envy
Gary Lineker. But about... It is a | 1:33:56 | 1:34:00 | |
Christmas Eve for football fans.
Kicking off not just learning about | 1:34:00 | 1:34:05 | |
the football on the teams they are
going to play, -- but where you are | 1:34:05 | 1:34:09 | |
going to play. I remember learning
all about Mendoza, was ARIA it is a | 1:34:09 | 1:34:14 | |
geography lesson as well as about
football. The Russians will be | 1:34:14 | 1:34:20 | |
hoping to turn it into a spectacle.
It is a set piece event, a marker | 1:34:20 | 1:34:24 | |
ahead of what is a significant
moment. Yes, they were this to be a | 1:34:24 | 1:34:28 | |
real selling point for their
country, not just in football terms, | 1:34:28 | 1:34:32 | |
but is efficient, powerful, all the
wonderful things you can find out | 1:34:32 | 1:34:35 | |
about Russia through football. They
will hope to avoid what happened in | 1:34:35 | 1:34:39 | |
Spain in 1982 when it went badly
wrong, but there are computers these | 1:34:39 | 1:34:43 | |
days. | 1:34:43 | 1:34:43 | |
It's the moment that really kicks
off the countdown to the World Cup - | 1:34:43 | 1:34:47 | |
the draw at the Kremlin begins
at around 3:00 this afternoon, | 1:34:47 | 1:34:50 | |
and our sports news correspondent
Richard Conway will be watching. | 1:34:50 | 1:34:53 | |
It is Russia's moment
in the spotlight, with final | 1:34:53 | 1:34:55 | |
rehearsals for the World Cup draw
ensuring nothing is left to chance. | 1:34:55 | 1:34:58 | |
Some of the biggest names
in the game are here to lend | 1:34:58 | 1:35:01 | |
a hand too. | 1:35:01 | 1:35:04 | |
Amongst them, one of England's 1966
heroes, who hopes the current squad | 1:35:04 | 1:35:07 | |
can make their mark next summer. | 1:35:07 | 1:35:10 | |
If they can get this team together,
playing with each other, | 1:35:10 | 1:35:13 | |
for each other, then
there's always a chance. | 1:35:13 | 1:35:18 | |
England will base themselves
in a village north of St Petersburg, | 1:35:18 | 1:35:22 | |
with the manager looking
forward to what lies ahead. | 1:35:22 | 1:35:24 | |
We don't have many players that
have won major trophies. | 1:35:24 | 1:35:27 | |
But the future's very exciting
and there's a great challenge | 1:35:27 | 1:35:30 | |
for this group to see
how far they can go. | 1:35:30 | 1:35:33 | |
Star attractions both on and off
the pitch will draw thousands | 1:35:33 | 1:35:36 | |
of fans here to Russia next summer. | 1:35:36 | 1:35:37 | |
Organisers say everyone will be
welcome for what they believe | 1:35:37 | 1:35:40 | |
will be a festival of football. | 1:35:40 | 1:35:54 | |
Nevertheless, the game here has had
problems in the recent past, | 1:35:54 | 1:35:56 | |
specifically with racism
and violence, but campaigners | 1:35:56 | 1:35:59 | |
are cautiously optimistic that
things may be improving. | 1:35:59 | 1:36:01 | |
We've moved from a position
of denial to a state | 1:36:01 | 1:36:03 | |
where the Russians understand
that they need to clean up | 1:36:03 | 1:36:06 | |
the stadiums, deal with some
of the fans who are the hard core, | 1:36:06 | 1:36:10 | |
otherwise people won't know
when to come and it may well rebound | 1:36:10 | 1:36:13 | |
back at them during the World Cup. | 1:36:13 | 1:36:15 | |
Today, though, the focus
is on the big draw - | 1:36:15 | 1:36:17 | |
with all the teams keen
to discover their footballing fate. | 1:36:17 | 1:36:27 | |
Of course, they have been rehearsing
this to be death to make sure that | 1:36:27 | 1:36:31 | |
it is right. England drew Brazil in
rehearsal. I think we definitely | 1:36:31 | 1:36:34 | |
won't get them. No, not now, that
was just the rehearsal. Let's look | 1:36:34 | 1:36:39 | |
at what we think would be the best
draw for England given the rankings. | 1:36:39 | 1:36:43 | |
You think the dream draw would
either host, Russia, because they | 1:36:43 | 1:36:46 | |
are the weakest team in the whole
tournament, number 63 in the world. | 1:36:46 | 1:36:49 | |
But they are in the top pot of seeds
because they are the hosts. Also in | 1:36:49 | 1:36:54 | |
that dream group, the best case
scenario would be the likes of Saudi | 1:36:54 | 1:36:57 | |
Arabia and Senegal. The worse case
scenario, perhaps, would be the | 1:36:57 | 1:37:02 | |
world's best team, Germany. This
would be the worst possible draw in | 1:37:02 | 1:37:05 | |
terms of rankings. Germany, Costa
Rica, who of course helped dump | 1:37:05 | 1:37:11 | |
England out of the last World Cup.
And Nigeria. But as well as the | 1:37:11 | 1:37:15 | |
teams drawn in this World Cup, like
never before, it is about where you | 1:37:15 | 1:37:19 | |
play. A dream draw would be a 3000,
to journey for three games. The | 1:37:19 | 1:37:23 | |
worse case scenario would be going
out to the likes of places like | 1:37:23 | 1:37:28 | |
Ekaterinburg, 10,000 kilometres in
just the space of ten days, three | 1:37:28 | 1:37:31 | |
matches. So it is not just to you
play, it is where you play. But they | 1:37:31 | 1:37:36 | |
are going to be flying everywhere
they go, aren't they? Apparently | 1:37:36 | 1:37:39 | |
they are going to make use of
sleeper trains as well. You can't | 1:37:39 | 1:37:43 | |
really sleep that well on the train,
in that little bunk... Why did you | 1:37:43 | 1:37:47 | |
do that? I tend to sleep like a
hamster. You sleep like a squirrel. | 1:37:47 | 1:37:52 | |
I don't know, when I am on a train
bed, yes. You do that funny setting | 1:37:52 | 1:37:56 | |
noise as well? Stop bit! Well, my
world is weird. Yes, that is a fact. | 1:37:56 | 1:38:04 | |
What else have you got? You
distracted me with squirrels! This | 1:38:04 | 1:38:09 | |
time tomorrow will be talking about
one of the big stories and sport for | 1:38:09 | 1:38:13 | |
the whole year, the world right
relief -- rugby league World Cup | 1:38:13 | 1:38:16 | |
final. | 1:38:16 | 1:38:26 | |
And overnight, we've
heard the big news that, | 1:38:26 | 1:38:28 | |
England's captain Sean O'Loughlin
has been ruled out with | 1:38:28 | 1:38:31 | |
a thigh strain. | 1:38:31 | 1:38:32 | |
Sam Burgess will lead the side -
he captained England in last year's | 1:38:32 | 1:38:35 | |
Four Nations series,
and assistant coach Dennis Betts | 1:38:35 | 1:38:37 | |
said Burgess was a "doer"
and a "leader" and the natural | 1:38:37 | 1:38:40 | |
replacement. | 1:38:40 | 1:38:43 | |
Britain's Paralympic champion
Gordon Reid can still reach | 1:38:43 | 1:38:46 | |
the semi-finals of the Wheelchair
Tennis Masters in Loughbrough, | 1:38:46 | 1:38:48 | |
after winning his second pool match. | 1:38:48 | 1:38:50 | |
He came from a set down
to beat Nicolas Peifer. | 1:38:50 | 1:38:55 | |
The reigning Paralympic men's
singles champion lost the first set | 1:38:55 | 1:39:00 | |
against Frenchman Nicolas Peifer,
but came back strongly 6-4, | 1:39:00 | 1:39:03 | |
6-3 to win his first
match of the tournament. | 1:39:03 | 1:39:06 | |
Andy Lapthorne also won to qualify
for the semi-finals. | 1:39:06 | 1:39:11 | |
Tiger Woods said he thought he "did
great" in his latest comeback | 1:39:11 | 1:39:14 | |
to competitive golf. | 1:39:14 | 1:39:15 | |
He's been out since February
after more back surgery and he shot | 1:39:15 | 1:39:19 | |
a three under par 69 in the first
round of the Hero World Challenge | 1:39:19 | 1:39:22 | |
in the Bahamas. | 1:39:22 | 1:39:23 | |
He's just three behind
the clubhouse leader, | 1:39:23 | 1:39:25 | |
England's Tommy Fleetwood. | 1:39:25 | 1:39:26 | |
And finally, to the spectacle
that is the Freestyle Canoe World | 1:39:26 | 1:39:29 | |
Championships in Argentina. | 1:39:29 | 1:39:30 | |
Tricks, spins, somersaults,
timed runs - bonus points | 1:39:30 | 1:39:32 | |
for getting the canoe
completely out of the water. | 1:39:32 | 1:39:34 | |
Great Britain have picked up
three medals so far, | 1:39:34 | 1:39:37 | |
with Claire O'Hara winning her 9th
freestyle world title. | 1:39:37 | 1:39:48 | |
Plus be like being a washing
machine. Sleep did you get last | 1:39:48 | 1:39:53 | |
night? About four hours. Not good
enough. I was thinking about the | 1:39:53 | 1:39:58 | |
Bobsleigh next week. You are kept
awake thinking about Bobsleigh? It | 1:39:58 | 1:40:02 | |
will all be revealed soon on
Breakfast. But yes. We are going to | 1:40:02 | 1:40:06 | |
talk about sleep, and I think you
need to listen to this. | 1:40:06 | 1:40:10 | |
Now on a frosty winter's morning
like today most of us would love | 1:40:10 | 1:40:13 | |
an excuse to jump back into bed. | 1:40:13 | 1:40:15 | |
As it turns out, a few extra hours'
sleep is exactly what some | 1:40:15 | 1:40:19 | |
of us need! | 1:40:19 | 1:40:22 | |
Certainly we need longer than Mike's
four hours. | 1:40:22 | 1:40:27 | |
Not getting enough sleep can cause
obesity, heart disease and diabetes, | 1:40:27 | 1:40:30 | |
and it shortens your
life expectancy too. | 1:40:30 | 1:40:46 | |
James Wilson is a sleep expert
and he joins us now. | 1:40:46 | 1:40:49 | |
Sleep. It is those things we talk
about a third that this programme. | 1:40:49 | 1:40:55 | |
At some of the key problems people
face with sleeping issues? Sometimes | 1:40:55 | 1:41:01 | |
when people want to go to sleep,
they try to force it. It is not like | 1:41:01 | 1:41:05 | |
exercise. You can't make yourself to
it. We need to relax ourselves into | 1:41:05 | 1:41:09 | |
sleep. We need to wind down
properly. To go to sleep, two things | 1:41:09 | 1:41:12 | |
need to happen. A drop in core
temperature and a drop in heart | 1:41:12 | 1:41:17 | |
rate. Many of us do things before
bed that don't help us do that. We | 1:41:17 | 1:41:21 | |
need to stop forcing ourselves to go
to bed at a certain time. We cannot | 1:41:21 | 1:41:25 | |
force ourselves to go to sleep at
ten. But we can turn -- we can learn | 1:41:25 | 1:41:29 | |
what being sleepy feels like, which
is important. There are all these | 1:41:29 | 1:41:33 | |
conflicting ideas about how to go to
sleep. I have learned, over the | 1:41:33 | 1:41:38 | |
years, being on shifts like this, I
don't panic about sleep. I think | 1:41:38 | 1:41:41 | |
that is one of the problems. You
start thinking about it, you're not | 1:41:41 | 1:41:45 | |
getting enough sleep, you wake in
the middle of the night. You say, | 1:41:45 | 1:41:50 | |
don't watch TV, don't look at your
phone, but then people say, get into | 1:41:50 | 1:41:53 | |
a routine and watch something that
makes you feel relaxed. I think we | 1:41:53 | 1:41:57 | |
need to learn who we are as
sleepers. We are all genetically | 1:41:57 | 1:42:01 | |
different when it comes to sleep. We
all need a different amount of | 1:42:01 | 1:42:04 | |
sleep. Just as importantly we need a
different quality of sleep. You have | 1:42:04 | 1:42:08 | |
learned to you are as a sleeper.
That is what we are try to do my | 1:42:08 | 1:42:12 | |
organisation, trying to understand.
Are you a morning lark? Are you a | 1:42:12 | 1:42:15 | |
night owl? Are you typical? Learn
when you should go to bed, but don't | 1:42:15 | 1:42:20 | |
force it. Sleepiness comes by doing
things which help us relax away | 1:42:20 | 1:42:23 | |
heart rate drops. It doesn't come
when we sit in bed thinking, I need | 1:42:23 | 1:42:28 | |
to sleep. You have suffered from
sleep problems yourself? Yes, I had | 1:42:28 | 1:42:32 | |
an insomniac. Bad sleepers are bad
sleepers. You can't change that. | 1:42:32 | 1:42:36 | |
What was your sleep pattern? Ie she
knew have improved that now. When | 1:42:36 | 1:42:40 | |
you had your problem, what was it?
Waking up early in the morning. As a | 1:42:40 | 1:42:44 | |
teenager I didn't sleep at all. That
often happens with teenagers. As I | 1:42:44 | 1:42:48 | |
got older I struggled to stay
asleep. I used to wake up at two | 1:42:48 | 1:42:52 | |
o'clock in the morning and think,
I'm not going to go back to sleep. | 1:42:52 | 1:42:56 | |
And guess what, I never went back to
sleep. Now I wake up at two o'clock | 1:42:56 | 1:43:00 | |
in the morning and I think, if I
don't get back to sleep I will be | 1:43:00 | 1:43:05 | |
OK. Because although I am a really
bad sleeper I am brilliant at being | 1:43:05 | 1:43:08 | |
tired. I cope well. So I changed the
conversation in my head about sleep, | 1:43:08 | 1:43:12 | |
and that was a powerful tool for me
to sleep better. Isn't that a myth, | 1:43:12 | 1:43:16 | |
that you can be good at being tired?
Shouldn't you except that you are | 1:43:16 | 1:43:20 | |
not functioning anywhere close to
100% during the day? -- accept. So | 1:43:20 | 1:43:24 | |
your cognitive functions, your
everyday functions, they suffer? I | 1:43:24 | 1:43:28 | |
can get through the day fine. What I
used to do, I would have a bad | 1:43:28 | 1:43:33 | |
night's sleep, I would worry, I
would wake up and think, I'm not | 1:43:33 | 1:43:36 | |
going to sleep. I would go seven or
eight weeks like that and I would | 1:43:36 | 1:43:40 | |
crash and have a good sleep and
start again. So what I do now, it is | 1:43:40 | 1:43:45 | |
just one day, we can deal with one
or two days of bad sleep. People | 1:43:45 | 1:43:49 | |
play in the World Cup final, people
give presentations, people do | 1:43:49 | 1:43:52 | |
amazing things with no sleep
whatsoever. What if you were in a | 1:43:52 | 1:43:55 | |
position where you can catch up on
sleep. You are just, that was it. | 1:43:55 | 1:43:59 | |
You were destined to a lifestyle of
five hours every night. Is that | 1:43:59 | 1:44:03 | |
damaging, physiologically? To get
90% of our sleep needs, winning five | 1:44:03 | 1:44:08 | |
and a half hours. So although a lot
of it will have seven or eight hours | 1:44:08 | 1:44:12 | |
and they feel better, for our
overall health, about five and a | 1:44:12 | 1:44:15 | |
half hours is enough. And that
really, really helps. As a bad | 1:44:15 | 1:44:19 | |
sleeper, I was getting two or three
hours. Eight hours was miles away. I | 1:44:19 | 1:44:23 | |
couldn't get that. But five hours, I
could manage that. So when I got six | 1:44:23 | 1:44:28 | |
hours I felt like I had had a good
night's sleep. Very interesting. | 1:44:28 | 1:44:31 | |
Thank you, James. Have a session
with Mike, he is on four hours. And | 1:44:31 | 1:44:36 | |
sleeping like a squirrel, as well.
Do you know what I don't like? Cold | 1:44:36 | 1:44:42 | |
bedrooms. It is a big argument. Well
but as long as you have a warm bed, | 1:44:42 | 1:44:48 | |
it doesn't matter. It is cold when
you get into it. That's the problem. | 1:44:48 | 1:44:52 | |
And it's going to get colder. It has
been very cold over the last few | 1:44:52 | 1:44:57 | |
days and you have been sending your
photos and videos in. Who is that? | 1:44:57 | 1:45:01 | |
Somebody who has been enjoying the
snow. But everybody, maybe. This is | 1:45:01 | 1:45:05 | |
Bridlington. The snow came down and
people were enjoying it. That is in | 1:45:05 | 1:45:10 | |
Brighton for us. | 1:45:10 | 1:45:13 | |
Good morning from the Royal Pavilion
in Brighton. We have managed to stay | 1:45:18 | 1:45:24 | |
on our feet. It is called in
Brighton this morning, with the ice | 1:45:24 | 1:45:28 | |
underfoot. Wintry conditions
yesterday, especially in eastern | 1:45:28 | 1:45:33 | |
England. Frost elsewhere. There is a
change on the way. We may be at the | 1:45:33 | 1:45:39 | |
start of the meteorological Winter,
by | 1:45:39 | 1:45:40 | |
start of the meteorological Winter,
by temperatures are on the up in the | 1:45:40 | 1:45:43 | |
next few days. Into this weekend it
turns cloudy and mild in parts of | 1:45:43 | 1:45:48 | |
the country, but of course you start
to lose the sunshine with had over | 1:45:48 | 1:45:53 | |
the last few days. Still sunshine
this morning. Cloud thickens up. The | 1:45:53 | 1:45:58 | |
rest of Scotland, frosty. Down
across the eastern counties of | 1:45:58 | 1:46:04 | |
England, outbreaks of rain coming
and going. A bit of sleet and snow | 1:46:04 | 1:46:08 | |
over high ground force of turning
mainly back to rain. Over the next | 1:46:08 | 1:46:12 | |
few hours it could be icy in a
couple of spots after the sleet and | 1:46:12 | 1:46:16 | |
snow of yesterday. The wind is not
as strong as yesterday, but still | 1:46:16 | 1:46:20 | |
blustery in eastern areas. In the
west, a frosty and lovely staff are | 1:46:20 | 1:46:26 | |
many and not a bad start for
Northern Ireland. Overnight it will | 1:46:26 | 1:46:31 | |
start to cloud over as we go through
the day. For the rest of the day | 1:46:31 | 1:46:36 | |
Northern Ireland, Scotland and later
northern England, louder round | 1:46:36 | 1:46:39 | |
increases from the north. Still
sunshine here and there, especially | 1:46:39 | 1:46:43 | |
the east of high ground. Showers in
eastern England start to fade. Maybe | 1:46:43 | 1:46:50 | |
confined to the coasts, especially
for Sussex, six and Kent. Still | 1:46:50 | 1:46:55 | |
windy, but not as windy as
yesterday. With less wind it means | 1:46:55 | 1:46:59 | |
it won't feel quite as chilly, but
still temperatures down on where | 1:46:59 | 1:47:03 | |
they should be. Into this evenly and
overnight, cloud in the northern | 1:47:03 | 1:47:07 | |
half will move southwards. This will
bring patchy rain, namely Inner | 1:47:07 | 1:47:13 | |
West. -- mainly in the west. There
is the risk of temperatures dropping | 1:47:13 | 1:47:20 | |
close enough to freezing. A touch of
ice around. Still be wary if you | 1:47:20 | 1:47:26 | |
have clear skies overhead as it
could be frosty tomorrow. But there | 1:47:26 | 1:47:29 | |
is a change on the way. More cloud
on Saturday UK wide. Patchy rain in | 1:47:29 | 1:47:35 | |
southern parts of Wales and southern
England to begin with. Heavy bursts | 1:47:35 | 1:47:38 | |
at times. Far from a washout. Dry
weather for many at times. The best | 1:47:38 | 1:47:44 | |
of any breaks in east of high --
over high ground. Sunday will be a | 1:47:44 | 1:47:54 | |
brighter day than Saturday. Any
light rain or drizzle will remain to | 1:47:54 | 1:47:57 | |
the west. The best of any sunny
breaks to the east of high ground | 1:47:57 | 1:48:03 | |
and temperatures up to about 11
degrees at best. I still need a | 1:48:03 | 1:48:07 | |
little bit of skating practice, but
so far so good. | 1:48:07 | 1:48:10 | |
little bit of skating practice, but
so far so good. | 1:48:10 | 1:48:11 | |
Let's hope that changes before the
end of the programme! | 1:48:11 | 1:48:15 | |
I thought you would like that, yes.
See you later. | 1:48:15 | 1:48:21 | |
We've been rather lucky this morning
as we've been invited into Piper | 1:48:21 | 1:48:26 | |
Hill High School, a special school.
It's all part of our special series | 1:48:26 | 1:48:31 | |
this week, looking at pupils who
have special educational needs. | 1:48:31 | 1:48:37 | |
We've been taking a look at the idea
of communication and how to make | 1:48:37 | 1:48:41 | |
that easier for children who do have
special educational needs. Good | 1:48:41 | 1:48:45 | |
morning, Jayne.
Good morning. Is there anybody in | 1:48:45 | 1:48:51 | |
particular you want to say good
morning to? I want to say good | 1:48:51 | 1:48:55 | |
morning to my friends at Tesco, if
anyone can hear me! Good morning. I | 1:48:55 | 1:49:02 | |
think that's an advert. I don't
think you can do that, but we will | 1:49:02 | 1:49:06 | |
let you. We are down here and it's a
special day because what's the name | 1:49:06 | 1:49:12 | |
of today? Butty Day. Today they all
make them and it's a very special | 1:49:12 | 1:49:19 | |
day. What is the one killer secret
ingredient for any sandwich? Salt | 1:49:19 | 1:49:23 | |
and vinegar crisps. These are the
information strips that helped them | 1:49:23 | 1:49:31 | |
know exactly what to do with the
savages. And look at this. They know | 1:49:31 | 1:49:35 | |
exactly what will happen. --
savages. What we are learning today | 1:49:35 | 1:49:41 | |
is a bit more serious. 1.4 million
children in the UK have speech and | 1:49:41 | 1:49:50 | |
communications issues. Report given
to us exclusively today has new | 1:49:50 | 1:49:55 | |
figures. Report is by a royal and
communication charity and they say | 1:49:55 | 1:50:02 | |
there is not enough access for
children out there. | 1:50:02 | 1:50:07 | |
Harry is happy and helpful,
but with profound autism | 1:50:07 | 1:50:10 | |
he struggles to communicate. | 1:50:10 | 1:50:11 | |
Despite being twice assessed
as having a problem, | 1:50:11 | 1:50:14 | |
he has never been under
the treatment of an NHS speech | 1:50:14 | 1:50:17 | |
and language therapist. | 1:50:17 | 1:50:24 | |
You have pushed and pushed to see
somebody, haven't you? | 1:50:24 | 1:50:27 | |
Pushed and pushed. | 1:50:27 | 1:50:28 | |
We have a multiagency meeting
every 12 weeks for Harry. | 1:50:28 | 1:50:31 | |
Each time we've attended
there is never a speech therapist, | 1:50:31 | 1:50:37 | |
whereas a speech therapist,
could she attend the next one? | 1:50:37 | 1:50:40 | |
The same thing has
happened for 18 months. | 1:50:40 | 1:50:43 | |
Rather than therapy for Harry,
the NHS has offered Jane training, | 1:50:43 | 1:50:46 | |
which they tell me can
be very beneficial. | 1:50:46 | 1:50:48 | |
She now pays for private therapy. | 1:50:48 | 1:50:57 | |
I'm in a good position
because I'm able to do that, | 1:50:57 | 1:51:00 | |
but a lot of people say they can't. | 1:51:00 | 1:51:02 | |
Here at this school in Birmingham
they also feel badly let down. | 1:51:02 | 1:51:05 | |
As class starts, the teacher tries
to hold their attention. | 1:51:05 | 1:51:08 | |
A bit more interested in our camera! | 1:51:08 | 1:51:11 | |
Most are eventually able to follow
the song and join in the actions. | 1:51:11 | 1:51:15 | |
But some really struggle. | 1:51:15 | 1:51:19 | |
Not just to speak but to pay
attention, to understand, | 1:51:19 | 1:51:22 | |
to follow instructions,
all part of a speech, | 1:51:22 | 1:51:24 | |
language and communication need. | 1:51:24 | 1:51:30 | |
It's frustrating for us
because we get children | 1:51:30 | 1:51:32 | |
and you almost
feel they've been written off | 1:51:32 | 1:51:34 | |
because sometimes parents have
already noticed there is a problem | 1:51:34 | 1:51:39 | |
and they've tried to get help,
they've gone to doctors | 1:51:39 | 1:51:42 | |
and nothing has happened. | 1:51:42 | 1:51:43 | |
This is why the school
brought in Diana. | 1:51:43 | 1:51:45 | |
She was part of a speech
and language team in the NHS before | 1:51:45 | 1:51:49 | |
being laid off with a number
of colleagues five years ago. | 1:51:49 | 1:51:52 | |
Developing children's speech
and language is not a target, | 1:51:52 | 1:51:54 | |
like cancer or heart or diabetes. | 1:51:54 | 1:51:57 | |
If you don't get the speech
and language right, | 1:51:57 | 1:51:59 | |
what else goes wrong? | 1:51:59 | 1:52:00 | |
You don't learn to read and write. | 1:52:00 | 1:52:02 | |
Ten years ago, the government
commissioned a report which flagged | 1:52:02 | 1:52:05 | |
up problems here and led to promises
to deliver better services | 1:52:05 | 1:52:11 | |
for children like Zacharia. | 1:52:11 | 1:52:16 | |
Better watch that! | 1:52:16 | 1:52:18 | |
The Department of Health says
there are around 160 more therapies | 1:52:18 | 1:52:24 | |
today and the government has
an extra £2 million into therapy. | 1:52:24 | 1:52:27 | |
But look at this from a recent
Ofsted and QC due report. | 1:52:27 | 1:52:33 | |
And today a new survey finds only
15% of parents and therapist believe | 1:52:33 | 1:52:37 | |
there are enough
services in their area. | 1:52:37 | 1:52:39 | |
They say this will
have consequences. | 1:52:39 | 1:52:41 | |
Data shows that over 60% at least
have communication difficulties | 1:52:41 | 1:52:47 | |
in the youth justice system,
but name any vulnerable group | 1:52:47 | 1:52:53 | |
of children, children
in the looked after system, | 1:52:53 | 1:52:55 | |
with mental health issues, | 1:52:55 | 1:52:56 | |
children that are excluded
or on the fringe of the excluded, | 1:52:56 | 1:52:59 | |
and the youth justice
system, the majority | 1:52:59 | 1:53:01 | |
all have communication difficulties. | 1:53:01 | 1:53:02 | |
Communication underpins everything,
from reading and writing to making | 1:53:02 | 1:53:05 | |
friends and making a future. | 1:53:05 | 1:53:06 | |
Get it wrong and many
kids will flounder. | 1:53:06 | 1:53:13 | |
So serious, but we all know that
resources are really stretched on | 1:53:13 | 1:53:17 | |
the NHS. There are huge increases in
demand for everything and there's | 1:53:17 | 1:53:22 | |
quite a struggle to try to get the
right of therapy is out there, to | 1:53:22 | 1:53:26 | |
recruit them. Meet my new best
friend, Joe. What's on the menu? | 1:53:26 | 1:53:31 | |
We've got flapjacks, home-made
carrot cake and home-made granola! | 1:53:31 | 1:53:40 | |
All of this and the drink down at
the bottom in a minute. I want to | 1:53:40 | 1:53:44 | |
introduce you to the deputy heads.
Louise and Adele. Tell me, there's a | 1:53:44 | 1:53:50 | |
really serious point to the business
end of this. These help to support | 1:53:50 | 1:53:58 | |
and develop our students' skills for
life and living and promote | 1:53:58 | 1:54:03 | |
independence. It's all about
independence and learning and also | 1:54:03 | 1:54:07 | |
about trying to get independence and
find a job, because everybody gets | 1:54:07 | 1:54:11 | |
work experience. It's very
personalised, so for students it | 1:54:11 | 1:54:17 | |
could be internal in school, in the
office, all with local businesses. | 1:54:17 | 1:54:23 | |
Fantastic. And they don't get paid
for the work experience, however, | 1:54:23 | 1:54:28 | |
Butty Business Friday? All of the
staff have to pay for their | 1:54:28 | 1:54:33 | |
sandwiches and then the money goes
to the guys and they can choose what | 1:54:33 | 1:54:37 | |
to do with the profits, like go on a
day trip. | 1:54:37 | 1:54:40 | |
We need to hear about how this money
is spent. What's it going to be on? | 1:54:40 | 1:54:45 | |
It's going to be on trips in a
couple of weeks, like going to the | 1:54:45 | 1:54:49 | |
cinema and that. And let's just go
and see the other two. We've got 30 | 1:54:49 | 1:54:58 | |
sandwiches to make. What are you
going to spend your wages on? | 1:54:58 | 1:55:02 | |
Bowling! Bowling, fantastic. I know
you are very excited about this trip | 1:55:02 | 1:55:09 | |
to? Going out. Going to wear? A
meal? Can I come? They do look | 1:55:09 | 1:55:18 | |
convinced. From us, back to you. | 1:55:18 | 1:55:24 | |
We've had enormous amounts of
interest in this series throughout | 1:55:24 | 1:55:28 | |
the week, but I just want to
share... Sophie has said, I think | 1:55:28 | 1:55:34 | |
that school you are out today is
amazing. It doesn't pay much, it's a | 1:55:34 | 1:55:38 | |
hard job, people do it for the love
of it. People are full of praise for | 1:55:38 | 1:55:45 | |
the staff and I know this is just
one place. | 1:55:45 | 1:55:48 | |
It absolutely is. You can't hear but
there's a whole army of cheerleaders | 1:55:48 | 1:55:54 | |
out there, writing in two-hour
programme right now, saying, you | 1:55:54 | 1:55:58 | |
guys rock. Amazing! Also the staff
as well. You do a great job. Do you | 1:55:58 | 1:56:06 | |
want to say something? I want to say
thanks everyone for cheerleading as! | 1:56:06 | 1:56:15 | |
-- us! I love it. Absolutely
fantastic. Thank you for having us. | 1:56:15 | 1:56:23 | |
Lovely. A special thank you to Joe.
A natural! | 1:56:23 | 1:56:29 | |

it. | 1:56:33 | 1:56:35 | |

By the time we get to Sunday
there should be more | 1:59:57 | 2:00:00 | |
in the way of brightness and we have
highs of 10 degrees. | 2:00:00 | 2:00:03 | |
I'm back with the latest
from the BBC London newsroom | 2:00:03 | 2:00:06 | |
in half an hour. | 2:00:06 | 2:00:09 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | 2:00:11 | 2:00:13 | |
A former detective tells the BBC
he was "shocked" by the amount | 2:00:13 | 2:00:16 | |
of pornography viewed on a computer
seized from the office | 2:00:16 | 2:00:19 | |
of the First Secretary
of State, Damian Green. | 2:00:19 | 2:00:21 | |
The technology specialist says
he has no doubt that the images | 2:00:21 | 2:00:23 | |
found on Damian Green's
parliamentary computer | 2:00:23 | 2:00:25 | |
in 2008 had been accessed
by the minister himself - | 2:00:25 | 2:00:27 | |
despite Mr Green's denials. | 2:00:27 | 2:00:34 | |
Good morning,
it's Friday 1st December. | 2:00:36 | 2:00:39 | |
Also this morning... | 2:00:39 | 2:00:46 | |
News of some changes on the high
street. | 2:00:46 | 2:00:49 | |
The Royal Bank of Scotland has
announced it is to close 259 | 2:00:49 | 2:00:52 | |
branches, affecting almost 700 jobs. | 2:00:52 | 2:00:53 | |
I'll have all the details, shortly. | 2:00:53 | 2:00:54 | |
The first official engagement
for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | 2:00:54 | 2:00:57 | |
as a couple since they announced
their plans to get married. | 2:00:57 | 2:01:05 | |
To mark the end of our amazing week
about special educational needs, | 2:01:05 | 2:01:08 | |
I'm at Piper Hill High
in Manchester. | 2:01:08 | 2:01:13 | |
I am with Isabella and Jess, and
also Josh. I know you love working | 2:01:13 | 2:01:17 | |
with Josh, the classroom assistant.
What do you read to him? The Cat In | 2:01:17 | 2:01:26 | |
The Hat! This is an amazing school,
we are investigating what it means | 2:01:26 | 2:01:31 | |
to the pupils, we will see why it is
the same in lots of ways but | 2:01:31 | 2:01:34 | |
different in others. | 2:01:34 | 2:01:38 | |
When you asked me to join you on the
programme I did not know I would be | 2:01:38 | 2:01:43 | |
talking! We are in the Forest School
area, comeback after 8am and we will | 2:01:43 | 2:01:49 | |
talk about what makes this place so
unique. | 2:01:49 | 2:01:53 | |
In sport, its the day of destiny
for 32 nations, who'll discover, | 2:01:53 | 2:01:59 | |
who and where they'll play,
at next summer's World Cup finals | 2:01:59 | 2:02:10 | |
in Russia - England are not one
of the top seeds, and so could draw, | 2:02:11 | 2:02:14 | |
the likes of Brazil,
Argentina and Germany. | 2:02:14 | 2:02:16 | |
And Matt has the weather. | 2:02:16 | 2:02:17 | |
It is the start of the
meteorological winter so I'm on the | 2:02:17 | 2:02:20 | |
ice here in Brighton but, if
anything, things will get my other | 2:02:20 | 2:02:22 | |
this weekend. The full forecast in
15 minutes. | 2:02:22 | 2:02:25 | |
Good morning. | 2:02:25 | 2:02:29 | |
First, our main story... | 2:02:29 | 2:02:33 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective has
told BBC News he was "shocked" | 2:02:33 | 2:02:36 | |
by the amount of pornography
on a Parliamentary computer | 2:02:36 | 2:02:38 | |
seized from the office
of the First Secretary of State, | 2:02:38 | 2:02:41 | |
Damian Green. | 2:02:41 | 2:02:42 | |
Mr Green has denied looking
at pornography at work. | 2:02:42 | 2:02:44 | |
Neil Lewis, a computer forensics
specialist, examined the device | 2:02:44 | 2:02:46 | |
during an inquiry into
Government leaks in 2008. | 2:02:46 | 2:02:48 | |
He's now retired, and he spoke
to our home affairs | 2:02:48 | 2:02:50 | |
correspondent Danny Shaw. | 2:02:50 | 2:02:51 | |
How can you be sure
that it was Damian Green | 2:02:51 | 2:02:54 | |
who was accessing that pornography? | 2:02:54 | 2:02:59 | |
There's a phrase, you can't put
fingers on a keyboard. | 2:02:59 | 2:03:01 | |
So I can't say that. | 2:03:01 | 2:03:03 | |
But the computer was in Mr Green's
office, on his desk. | 2:03:03 | 2:03:08 | |
Logged in, it's his
account, his name. | 2:03:08 | 2:03:15 | |
In between browsing pornography,
he was sending emails from his | 2:03:15 | 2:03:18 | |
account, his personal account. | 2:03:18 | 2:03:22 | |
Reading documents,
writing documents. | 2:03:22 | 2:03:27 | |
Danny Shaw joins us now
from our London newsroom. | 2:03:27 | 2:03:30 | |
Danny, what more can you tell us? | 2:03:30 | 2:03:35 | |
Neil that this was an officer
working on the counter terrorism | 2:03:35 | 2:03:39 | |
command at the time of the inquiry.
You have to remember this was about | 2:03:39 | 2:03:42 | |
leaks from the Home Office, he was
not looking for pornography, he was | 2:03:42 | 2:03:46 | |
examining Damian Green's computers
to look for evidence about the leaks | 2:03:46 | 2:03:50 | |
and he came across these thousands
of images, he says, thumbnail images | 2:03:50 | 2:03:55 | |
of pornographic material and lots of
website browsing of pornography. He | 2:03:55 | 2:03:59 | |
said on Sunday's pornography was
being browsed, surged for all looked | 2:03:59 | 2:04:03 | |
at for several hours and he checked | 2:04:03 | 2:04:16 | |
over a three-month period and it was
extensive, the amount of pornography | 2:04:19 | 2:04:21 | |
that had been viewed on Damian
Green's parliamentary computer. | 2:04:21 | 2:04:23 | |
He claims there was similar computer
on Mr Green's Parliamentary issued | 2:04:23 | 2:04:25 | |
laptop as well. What information is
there about who was accessing this | 2:04:25 | 2:04:28 | |
pornography?
You heard him there said he cannot | 2:04:28 | 2:04:31 | |
definitively prove that it was
Damian Green, and that in a court of | 2:04:31 | 2:04:36 | |
law, when barristers try to get you
to say that coming he cannot say | 2:04:36 | 2:04:39 | |
that with 100% certainty. But
looking at the patterns of usage, in | 2:04:39 | 2:04:46 | |
his opinion, it points towards
Damian Green. Mr Green has | 2:04:46 | 2:04:50 | |
vehemently denied the allegation, he
is claiming he did not put | 2:04:50 | 2:04:55 | |
pornography on his work computers or
look at pornography on his work | 2:04:55 | 2:04:58 | |
computers, that is what he has stuck
with over the past few weeks since | 2:04:58 | 2:05:02 | |
these allegations emerged.
Thank you very much. | 2:05:02 | 2:05:06 | |
Health inspectors have ordered
a review of all NHS radiology | 2:05:06 | 2:05:09 | |
services in England,
after a hospital in Portsmouth | 2:05:09 | 2:05:11 | |
failed to spot three
cases of lung cancer. | 2:05:11 | 2:05:15 | |
The investigation by
the Care Quality Commission also | 2:05:15 | 2:05:19 | |
found that 20,000 chest scans had
not been assessed correctly | 2:05:19 | 2:05:21 | |
at the Queen Alexandra Hospital. | 2:05:21 | 2:05:23 | |
The Trust has apologised
to the families affected. | 2:05:23 | 2:05:25 | |
Mark Lobel reports. | 2:05:25 | 2:05:29 | |
An alarming backlog of unchecked
medical scans has been found | 2:05:29 | 2:05:37 | |
at the Queen Alexandra Hospital
in Portsmouth by the health services | 2:05:37 | 2:05:40 | |
regulator, after a member
of the public raised concerns. | 2:05:40 | 2:05:47 | |
The Care Quality Commission found
between 1st April 2016 | 2:05:47 | 2:05:50 | |
and 31st March this year,
26,345 chest x-rays and 2,167 | 2:05:50 | 2:05:55 | |
abdomen x-rays had not been formally
reviewed by a radiologist | 2:05:55 | 2:06:01 | |
or an appropriately
trained clinician. | 2:06:01 | 2:06:02 | |
Some had been checked -
but by junior doctors, | 2:06:02 | 2:06:07 | |
who complained that they had been
asked to do so without | 2:06:07 | 2:06:10 | |
appropriate training. | 2:06:10 | 2:06:11 | |
In some cases where x-rays had
been declared clear, | 2:06:11 | 2:06:15 | |
radiologists went on to spot cancer
on later scans. | 2:06:15 | 2:06:20 | |
In a statement, the Care Quality
Commission said: | 2:06:20 | 2:06:26 | |
Portsmouth NHS Trust said: | 2:06:26 | 2:06:36 | |
The health regulator has now written
to all trusts in England to build up | 2:06:38 | 2:06:42 | |
a national picture of how quickly
patients' x-rays are viewed. | 2:06:42 | 2:06:44 | |
But tackling the problem
will be tough. | 2:06:44 | 2:06:49 | |
Experts have warned of a desperate
shortage of radiologists | 2:06:49 | 2:06:56 | |
across the country. | 2:06:56 | 2:07:00 | |
The Government points to an increase
of radiologists undergoing training | 2:07:00 | 2:07:04 | |
and a 10% rise in the number of
diagnostic radiographers since 2010. | 2:07:04 | 2:07:11 | |
Survivors and those who lost loved
ones in the Grenfell fire say | 2:07:11 | 2:07:14 | |
the public inquiry into the disaster
will be a whitewash | 2:07:14 | 2:07:17 | |
unless a diverse panel is appointed
to oversee the proceedings. | 2:07:17 | 2:07:19 | |
The Government says the process
is ongoing, but campaigners | 2:07:19 | 2:07:21 | |
are urging the Prime Minister
to intervene, and say the chairman, | 2:07:21 | 2:07:24 | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick,
should sit with a range of people | 2:07:24 | 2:07:27 | |
who understand the issues facing
those affected by the disaster. | 2:07:27 | 2:07:34 | |
The Argentine navy has abandoned
efforts to rescue the 44 crew | 2:07:34 | 2:07:36 | |
members of a submarine that
disappeared two weeks ago. | 2:07:36 | 2:07:39 | |
Thousands of people have been
involved in the search | 2:07:39 | 2:07:41 | |
for the San Juan, covering a 40,000
square kilometre area | 2:07:41 | 2:07:43 | |
of the South Atlantic. | 2:07:43 | 2:07:44 | |
The authorities say they will still
try to locate the wreckage. | 2:07:44 | 2:07:49 | |
A developing story this morning -
Royal Bank of Scotland is to close | 2:07:49 | 2:07:54 | |
some of its branches. | 2:07:54 | 2:07:55 | |
Sean's here with more. | 2:07:55 | 2:07:58 | |
Branch closures is not a new thing
but it seems to be never-ending, | 2:07:58 | 2:08:03 | |
Royal Bank of Scotland saying nearly
260 branches across the network. If | 2:08:03 | 2:08:07 | |
you break that down, that is a
quarter of their branches in | 2:08:07 | 2:08:11 | |
Scotland will be closed as part of
the announcement, a quarter of their | 2:08:11 | 2:08:14 | |
remaining branches, quite a big hit
for Scottish branches. 62 are RBS, | 2:08:14 | 2:08:23 | |
197 of those branches are at
NatWest, which are around England | 2:08:23 | 2:08:27 | |
and Wales, that is owned by the
Royal Bank of Scotland. RBS are | 2:08:27 | 2:08:30 | |
basically saying it is because they
are continuing to see fewer | 2:08:30 | 2:08:34 | |
customers use branches, down 40%
since 2014, and way more mobile | 2:08:34 | 2:08:39 | |
phone transactions being made, up
73% in the same period. | 2:08:39 | 2:08:44 | |
We have spoken about how important
they are, banks, to the strength of | 2:08:44 | 2:08:49 | |
community and many people using it
in terms of just personal | 2:08:49 | 2:08:55 | |
interaction and feeling more
comfortable with the traditional | 2:08:55 | 2:08:58 | |
ways of banking.
Particularly for big financial | 2:08:58 | 2:09:00 | |
decisions you might have to make,
later in life those bigger financial | 2:09:00 | 2:09:05 | |
decisions you are making about where
you put your money might be more | 2:09:05 | 2:09:08 | |
pertinent as well, so the post
office in theory can provide a lot | 2:09:08 | 2:09:11 | |
of services if you still have one in
your village or town, but if you | 2:09:11 | 2:09:15 | |
don't, we are getting onto these
mobile banking trucks and lorries | 2:09:15 | 2:09:20 | |
that we see going around to
different villages that people start | 2:09:20 | 2:09:25 | |
using but that is a very different
way of banking to what we used to | 2:09:25 | 2:09:29 | |
previously. We should add as well
680 jobs under threat here, RBS | 2:09:29 | 2:09:35 | |
hoping there will not be compulsory
redundancies but it remains to be | 2:09:35 | 2:09:38 | |
seen.
And the staff have been told that? | 2:09:38 | 2:09:41 | |
The staff have been made aware.
Thanks very much. | 2:09:41 | 2:09:46 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
will carry out their first joint | 2:09:46 | 2:09:49 | |
Royal engagements later,
just days after announcing that | 2:09:49 | 2:09:51 | |
they're to marry in the spring. | 2:09:51 | 2:09:52 | |
They will visit a number
of charities in Nottingham, as our | 2:09:52 | 2:09:55 | |
Royal Correspondent Sarah Campbell
reports. | 2:09:55 | 2:09:56 | |
It was only on Monday that
Prince Harry introduced | 2:09:56 | 2:10:00 | |
the American actress
Meghan Markle as his new fiancee. | 2:10:00 | 2:10:03 | |
This photo call was held
in the controlled environment | 2:10:03 | 2:10:08 | |
of the garden at Kensington Palace,
but Ms Markle made it clear | 2:10:08 | 2:10:10 | |
in the subsequent interview
that she was keen to get out | 2:10:10 | 2:10:13 | |
and about and meet
the British public. | 2:10:13 | 2:10:15 | |
In these beginning few
months and now being boots | 2:10:15 | 2:10:17 | |
on the ground in the UK,
I'm excited to just really get | 2:10:17 | 2:10:21 | |
to know more about the different
communities here, smaller | 2:10:21 | 2:10:26 | |
organisations, we're working
on the same causes I've | 2:10:26 | 2:10:28 | |
always been passionate
about under this umbrella. | 2:10:28 | 2:10:30 | |
And also being able to go
around the Commonwealth, | 2:10:30 | 2:10:32 | |
I think it's just the beginning... | 2:10:32 | 2:10:34 | |
There's a lot to do. | 2:10:34 | 2:10:38 | |
Their first engagement together
will highlight an issue Prince Harry | 2:10:38 | 2:10:44 | |
has become a prominent campaigner
on behalf of - AIDS | 2:10:44 | 2:10:46 | |
and HIV awareness. | 2:10:46 | 2:10:47 | |
They will then visit
Nottingham Academy. | 2:10:47 | 2:10:49 | |
Through the Royal Foundation he has
supported Full Effect, | 2:10:49 | 2:10:51 | |
a programme which is attempting
to tackle youth crime. | 2:10:51 | 2:10:55 | |
This was Prince Harry
meeting the public in | 2:10:55 | 2:10:57 | |
Nottingham earlier this year. | 2:10:57 | 2:11:02 | |
According to his spokesman,
it's a community which has become | 2:11:02 | 2:11:04 | |
very special to him and one that
he's looking forward | 2:11:04 | 2:11:07 | |
to introducing to his new fiancee. | 2:11:07 | 2:11:08 | |
Born and raised in California,
Meghan Markle has already agreed | 2:11:08 | 2:11:11 | |
to make the UK her home,
and the people of Nottingham will be | 2:11:11 | 2:11:14 | |
the first to publicly welcome her. | 2:11:14 | 2:11:15 | |
Sarah Campbell, BBC News. | 2:11:15 | 2:11:25 | |
Sport and weather coming up shortly. | 2:11:25 | 2:11:30 | |
A return of border checks
between Northern Ireland | 2:11:30 | 2:11:32 | |
and the Republic is inevitable
after Brexit, according | 2:11:32 | 2:11:34 | |
to a group of MPs. | 2:11:34 | 2:11:35 | |
The Commons' Exiting the EU
Committee says that if the UK pulls | 2:11:35 | 2:11:38 | |
out of the single market and customs
union, it will be impossible | 2:11:38 | 2:11:42 | |
to maintain a frictionless border. | 2:11:42 | 2:11:47 | |
The committee's chairman,
the Labour MP Hilary Benn, | 2:11:47 | 2:11:49 | |
joins us now from Westminster. | 2:11:49 | 2:11:52 | |
Why would it be impossible, in the
simplest sense, technology is | 2:11:52 | 2:11:56 | |
advancing, could there not be a
electronic border? It seems to work | 2:11:56 | 2:12:00 | |
at the moment. On the 200 crossing
points between the Republic of | 2:12:00 | 2:12:09 | |
Ireland and Northern Ireland, goods
flow freely at the moment, there is | 2:12:09 | 2:12:12 | |
no infrastructure because we are
part of the European Union, the | 2:12:12 | 2:12:15 | |
customs union, the single market.
What we have said is currently we | 2:12:15 | 2:12:19 | |
don't see how it will be possible to
reconcile on one hand the object of | 2:12:19 | 2:12:22 | |
the Government has set out that
there should be no border and no | 2:12:22 | 2:12:27 | |
physical infrastructure after we
leave, an objective that we all | 2:12:27 | 2:12:30 | |
support and share, including the
Government of the Republic of | 2:12:30 | 2:12:33 | |
Ireland, and on the other hand the
has reached to leave the customs | 2:12:33 | 2:12:38 | |
union and the single market, because
it will then become the border | 2:12:38 | 2:12:42 | |
between the United Kingdom and the
other 27 member states of the | 2:12:42 | 2:12:46 | |
European Union. You are right, the
Government has suggested that | 2:12:46 | 2:12:49 | |
technology might provide the answer,
at the moment, however, the | 2:12:49 | 2:12:54 | |
Government admits its proposals are
untested and, crucially, the | 2:12:54 | 2:12:57 | |
Republic of Ireland, which will be
on the other side of the border, is | 2:12:57 | 2:13:00 | |
not convinced that that can deliver
the no hard border, no | 2:13:00 | 2:13:08 | |
infrastructure aim that everybody
shares and that is why, as a | 2:13:08 | 2:13:11 | |
committee today, we have called on
the Government to set out in more | 2:13:11 | 2:13:15 | |
detail how exactly it thinks this
can be made to work, because there | 2:13:15 | 2:13:18 | |
does seem to be a conflict between
the two things at the moment. Can | 2:13:18 | 2:13:23 | |
you explain the committee's
breakdown in terms of you, you | 2:13:23 | 2:13:32 | |
campaign to remain in the EU ahead
of the referendum, how it breaks | 2:13:32 | 2:13:35 | |
down in terms of what the agenda is?
Is the aim to facilitate the | 2:13:35 | 2:13:42 | |
Government's negotiations over
Brexit, or is it to throw up | 2:13:42 | 2:13:45 | |
challenges? Our job as a Select
Committee is to scrutinise the | 2:13:45 | 2:13:49 | |
process of Brexit, the workings of
Parliament for exiting the European | 2:13:49 | 2:13:52 | |
Union, to listen to the evidence and
produce reports and make | 2:13:52 | 2:13:56 | |
recommendations. We are doing our
job. This is the most challenging | 2:13:56 | 2:13:59 | |
process that this country has been
through certainly since the end of | 2:13:59 | 2:14:03 | |
the Second World War over 44 years
we have built up a relationship with | 2:14:03 | 2:14:10 | |
our friends and neighbours in terms
of law, trade, movement of people, | 2:14:10 | 2:14:13 | |
and all other things, and it is,
unsurprisingly, a complex and | 2:14:13 | 2:14:18 | |
difficult process. I said at the
very first meeting of the committee, | 2:14:18 | 2:14:22 | |
it doesn't matter whether anyone
voted Remain or Leave, the decision | 2:14:22 | 2:14:26 | |
was made by the British people in
June 2016, have a job now is to look | 2:14:26 | 2:14:31 | |
at what is happening and to offer
advice and recommendations, and that | 2:14:31 | 2:14:35 | |
is what we have done today in
producing our first report on the | 2:14:35 | 2:14:39 | |
negotiations, which covers not just
the question of the border between | 2:14:39 | 2:14:43 | |
Northern Ireland and the | 2:14:43 | 2:14:54 | |
Republic, called on the Government,
if we do move onto phase two of | 2:14:57 | 2:15:00 | |
talks later this month, which we
hope very much we will, the | 2:15:00 | 2:15:03 | |
Government needs to set out with
greater clarity what this new deep | 2:15:03 | 2:15:05 | |
and special partnership it wants us
to have with the European Union is | 2:15:05 | 2:15:07 | |
going to consist of. We also want
the Government to be clearer about | 2:15:07 | 2:15:10 | |
how a transitional arrangement
period is going to operate, because | 2:15:10 | 2:15:12 | |
businesses need to know where they
are going to stand after the end of | 2:15:12 | 2:15:15 | |
March 2019, which is when we will
leave the institutions of the | 2:15:15 | 2:15:19 | |
European Union, so we are doing our
job, which we have been set up to | 2:15:19 | 2:15:22 | |
do. The reason I ask, this is
obviously a matter that has been | 2:15:22 | 2:15:26 | |
given a deadline, it is a process
that is extensive, and it appears, | 2:15:26 | 2:15:31 | |
for example you have asked ministers
to publish a white paper on the | 2:15:31 | 2:15:35 | |
transition period. It appears some
of the things you are bringing up | 2:15:35 | 2:15:38 | |
our slowing down the process. I
don't accept that at all. It has | 2:15:38 | 2:15:42 | |
taken time for the Government in
some cases to adopt its policy | 2:15:42 | 2:15:49 | |
positions because, let's be honest,
there have been differences of view | 2:15:49 | 2:15:52 | |
within the Government about the
approach that should be taken. But | 2:15:52 | 2:15:56 | |
we are all working to a ticking
clock. I think asking the Government | 2:15:56 | 2:16:00 | |
to set out with greater clarity how
a transitional period is going to | 2:16:00 | 2:16:05 | |
work, for example, is not about
slowing things down, it is about | 2:16:05 | 2:16:08 | |
trying to give reassurances to
businesses, some of which, as you | 2:16:08 | 2:16:12 | |
know, are making contingency
arrangements because they need to | 2:16:12 | 2:16:15 | |
guard against the possibility that
we might end up with no deal. We | 2:16:15 | 2:16:19 | |
also say in today's report that we
agree with the Chancellor of the | 2:16:19 | 2:16:23 | |
Exchequer that leaving with no deal
would be a very, very bad outcome | 2:16:23 | 2:16:27 | |
for the United Kingdom. And that, I
think, is self-evidently the case. | 2:16:27 | 2:16:32 | |
So, in saying to the Government that
greater clarity is needed, that is | 2:16:32 | 2:16:36 | |
an effort to move things on because
it is uncertainty, as I'm sure you | 2:16:36 | 2:16:41 | |
appreciate, which is the biggest
problem we face at the moment | 2:16:41 | 2:16:45 | |
because there are lots of people in
their jobs, work, industries, the | 2:16:45 | 2:16:49 | |
service sector, four fifths of the
British economy, sitting there | 2:16:49 | 2:16:52 | |
saying, we know how things work
today but we are not sure how things | 2:16:52 | 2:16:56 | |
will work after March 2019 and how
it will operate in the transition | 2:16:56 | 2:17:03 | |
period, and that is why as much
clarity as possible is required and | 2:17:03 | 2:17:06 | |
that is what the committee is
encouraging the Government to | 2:17:06 | 2:17:08 | |
provide. | 2:17:08 | 2:17:14 | |
The BBC have spoken to a former
Scotland Yard detective who said he | 2:17:14 | 2:17:17 | |
was shocked by the amount of
pornography found on the work | 2:17:17 | 2:17:21 | |
computer of Damian Green. This
evidence has been put forward and | 2:17:21 | 2:17:25 | |
spoken too to the BBC. Do you think
Mr Green should resign? I think if | 2:17:25 | 2:17:31 | |
anyone has evidence in connection
with the inquiry the Cabinet Office | 2:17:31 | 2:17:37 | |
is currently undertaking, that
evidence should be provided to the | 2:17:37 | 2:17:39 | |
inquiry. I don't think it's right
for any of us to prejudge its | 2:17:39 | 2:17:43 | |
outcome. There is a process, we
should allow that process to reach | 2:17:43 | 2:17:48 | |
its conclusion. I am sure we want to
see that dumb as soon as possible, | 2:17:48 | 2:17:53 | |
but since that inquiry is taking
place, I'm not going to comment on | 2:17:53 | 2:17:58 | |
that. -- it should be done as soon
as per the looks. Hilary Benn, thank | 2:17:58 | 2:18:03 | |
you for joining us.
Who would like to see a dog | 2:18:03 | 2:18:10 | |
frolicking in the snow? | 2:18:10 | 2:18:16 | |
Truffle the dog from York,
who played in it for the first time. | 2:18:16 | 2:18:22 | |
Brilliant. Who would like to see a
weather presenter skating on ice and | 2:18:22 | 2:18:26 | |
falling over presenting the weather?
Definitely not me! I am always last | 2:18:26 | 2:18:32 | |
in the queue. Good morning. I am at
the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, on | 2:18:32 | 2:18:37 | |
ice of course, because it is the
start of the meteorological winter. | 2:18:37 | 2:18:41 | |
1st of December, first Day of Advent
as well. | 2:18:41 | 2:18:46 | |
Ice rinks are popping up happened on
the country. This one, you can't | 2:18:46 | 2:18:50 | |
argue with the setting. It is here
until the 14th of January. I have | 2:18:50 | 2:18:54 | |
been looking the forecast for the
winter, the next few months from the | 2:18:54 | 2:19:00 | |
Met office. It looks like the first
half of winter will be a bit colder | 2:19:00 | 2:19:03 | |
than the second half but there is a
long way to go and we will keep you | 2:19:03 | 2:19:07 | |
updated BBC breakfast. A cold start
to winter and things are set to | 2:19:07 | 2:19:12 | |
change over the next few days. Let's
take a look at the forecast. This | 2:19:12 | 2:19:17 | |
weekend it tends not just cloudy but
my order as well. The | 2:19:17 | 2:19:21 | |
weekend it tends not just cloudy but
my order as well. The first signs of | 2:19:21 | 2:19:22 | |
that is this morning in northern
Scotland, some patchy rain pushing | 2:19:22 | 2:19:25 | |
in. The rest of Scotland, a frosty
start but funny. A sunny star in | 2:19:25 | 2:19:32 | |
north-west England as well. To the
east of the Pennines in eastern | 2:19:32 | 2:19:35 | |
England, some showers around. Not
quite as snowy as yesterday. A | 2:19:35 | 2:19:39 | |
little bit of sleet and snow on
higher ground. Beware in the next | 2:19:39 | 2:19:43 | |
hour or so, it could be icy. The
wind is not as strong as yesterday. | 2:19:43 | 2:19:48 | |
Very blowy in East Anglia and the
south-east this morning adding to | 2:19:48 | 2:19:51 | |
the jail, but in the West winds are
lighter and other than an isolated | 2:19:51 | 2:19:57 | |
shower most should have a fine,
sunny winter's day. Northern Ireland | 2:19:57 | 2:20:03 | |
starting funny and frosty. The best
of the sunshine for you will be this | 2:20:03 | 2:20:07 | |
morning. Cloudy as we go through the
day and with it the chance of some | 2:20:07 | 2:20:11 | |
patchy light rain or drizzle. That
may make it to north-west England by | 2:20:11 | 2:20:15 | |
the time we hit the late afternoon,
evening. Showers in eastern areas | 2:20:15 | 2:20:20 | |
will gradually become confined to
the coast, particularly East Anglia | 2:20:20 | 2:20:24 | |
and these. Still windy here,
elsewhere the wind slighter, not | 2:20:24 | 2:20:28 | |
quite as chilly as yesterday, even
though temperatures down on where | 2:20:28 | 2:20:31 | |
they should be for the time year.
Still cold out there. With clear | 2:20:31 | 2:20:37 | |
skies to begin this evening and
overnight across England and Wales | 2:20:37 | 2:20:40 | |
in particular, this is where we are
likely to see a frost. Cloud | 2:20:40 | 2:20:44 | |
increasing in the north,
temperatures will rise but any | 2:20:44 | 2:20:48 | |
breaks in the cloud and temperatures
could drop below freezing. Some | 2:20:48 | 2:20:51 | |
patchy rain and drizzle working
southwards, so still the chance of | 2:20:51 | 2:20:55 | |
some iciness into the start of
Saturday morning. Not as chilly as | 2:20:55 | 2:21:00 | |
the past few mornings, certainly in
Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 2:21:00 | 2:21:04 | |
Saturday, fairly cloudy, some patchy
light rain and drizzle, mainly in | 2:21:04 | 2:21:08 | |
the West and the top and tail of the
country, the heaviest of the rain | 2:21:08 | 2:21:11 | |
will be in Scotland. Not a wash-out,
some dry weather as well. Much | 2:21:11 | 2:21:17 | |
milder across Scotland and Northern
Ireland for tomorrow. Still a bit | 2:21:17 | 2:21:20 | |
chilly, though, to the south and
east of England. The milder will be | 2:21:20 | 2:21:26 | |
with us on Sunday. Quite a bit of
cloud to begin with, some patchy | 2:21:26 | 2:21:29 | |
rain in the West but most will have
a dry day on Sunday and compared to | 2:21:29 | 2:21:33 | |
Saturday, a little bit brighter.
Once the brightness breaks through | 2:21:33 | 2:21:36 | |
the cloud, temperatures up to 10-11.
It looks like the milder air coming | 2:21:36 | 2:21:42 | |
off the Atlantic will continue with
us into the start of next week as | 2:21:42 | 2:21:46 | |
well. But certainly at the moment
got my a cold enough start to the | 2:21:46 | 2:21:50 | |
first meteorological day of winter,
and an enjoyable start with a | 2:21:50 | 2:21:55 | |
weather man | 2:21:55 | 2:21:56 | |
and an enjoyable start with a
weather man still on his feet! So | 2:21:56 | 2:21:58 | |
disappointing. Someone is upset with
you, Brendan in bold has e-mailed | 2:21:58 | 2:22:02 | |
us. Please no more confusion in
telling people winter starts today. | 2:22:02 | 2:22:07 | |
He says it starts on the 21st of
December. | 2:22:07 | 2:22:12 | |
That is why I have always mentioned
is the meteorological start. As | 2:22:12 | 2:22:16 | |
whether folk we compare the seasons
in three-month chunks which helps us | 2:22:16 | 2:22:22 | |
compare data. To be honest, in my
opinion, it is nature that tells us | 2:22:22 | 2:22:26 | |
when the season starts rather than a
particular day. And in the last few | 2:22:26 | 2:22:30 | |
days, it has felt like winter!
October, that's when it started. | 2:22:30 | 2:22:35 | |
LAUGHTER
Thank you. It does look chilly. | 2:22:35 | 2:22:39 | |
Let's go from a chilly Matt to a
lovely roaring fire out in the open | 2:22:39 | 2:22:47 | |
with marshmallows being roasted. We
have been lucky enough to invited to | 2:22:47 | 2:22:51 | |
a school this morning in
Wythenshawe. All part of our series | 2:22:51 | 2:22:54 | |
this week looking at children with
special educational needs. Nikki is | 2:22:54 | 2:23:02 | |
there warming herself by the fire
for us. Yes, normally I am | 2:23:02 | 2:23:07 | |
permanently frozen, even in the
summer but I'm keeping lovely and | 2:23:07 | 2:23:10 | |
toasty by the fire, toasting
marshmallows. A couple have gone up | 2:23:10 | 2:23:14 | |
in flames but we have put them out,
it's all fine! This has to be about | 2:23:14 | 2:23:19 | |
the caller school I have ever been
in my life. I don't know if you can | 2:23:19 | 2:23:22 | |
CB Hyndman, but they've got some
fantastic ports where the pupils | 2:23:22 | 2:23:27 | |
stay overnight. -- I don't know if
you can see behind me. I would show | 2:23:27 | 2:23:34 | |
you around but I don't trust you my
driving skills and there is a fire. | 2:23:34 | 2:23:39 | |
We have some of the young people
here that go to Private Hill High. | 2:23:39 | 2:23:46 | |
We have been having a little chat,
will you tell me why this place is | 2:23:46 | 2:23:52 | |
so special? You have camped here
overnight, haven't you? Do you like | 2:23:52 | 2:23:58 | |
it, what did you like about the
pods? Yeah, overnight. What kind of | 2:23:58 | 2:24:07 | |
stuff do you enjoy doing in the
pods, do you like the fire? Make the | 2:24:07 | 2:24:13 | |
fire, cooking marshmallows. Who
doesn't love that?! Do you have lots | 2:24:13 | 2:24:20 | |
of friends? Yes. It's like having
cool sleepovers. Fun times. Daniel, | 2:24:20 | 2:24:26 | |
hello. Daniel, what sort of stuff do
you do here? What do you enjoy? I | 2:24:26 | 2:24:35 | |
enjoy the fire. How do you make the
fire? You actually liked it? Light a | 2:24:35 | 2:24:47 | |
flint. Flint. That is a very
impressive. I've seen I'm A | 2:24:47 | 2:24:54 | |
Celebrity and they can't do that
there! Were other stuff do you like | 2:24:54 | 2:24:57 | |
doing? Building the hammocks.
Building the hammocks. This is the | 2:24:57 | 2:25:05 | |
coolest place! You are far too young
for this, Daniel, but what do you | 2:25:05 | 2:25:08 | |
want to do when you get older? A
chef. Are you going to cook me some | 2:25:08 | 2:25:14 | |
breakfast later on? Lovely speaking
to you. Sian you are the assistant | 2:25:14 | 2:25:24 | |
head, why do you need places like
this? It's a great opportunity for | 2:25:24 | 2:25:27 | |
our students to have access to
educational experiences and also | 2:25:27 | 2:25:32 | |
work on their social skills and
develop their life skills. With | 2:25:32 | 2:25:35 | |
having a Forest School area, it
gives the opportunity to use their | 2:25:35 | 2:25:39 | |
skills they have learned in the
classroom and apply it to the | 2:25:39 | 2:25:42 | |
outdoor world. A really unique
place. I imagine a lot of parents | 2:25:42 | 2:25:48 | |
with children would love their kids
to go somewhere like this, a mix of | 2:25:48 | 2:25:52 | |
the curriculum but also activities
like staying over in the heart. Yes, | 2:25:52 | 2:25:56 | |
parents have been fabulous, we have
parents that he, the PDSA, we try to | 2:25:56 | 2:26:01 | |
make sure it's not just about the
students but their families as well. | 2:26:01 | 2:26:04 | |
It has been a really positive
experience for us. Thank you. I | 2:26:04 | 2:26:08 | |
think I am going to set up a hammock
and have a little goes, I was up | 2:26:08 | 2:26:14 | |
4am! Back to you. At least get
marshmallows, come on, don't | 2:26:14 | 2:26:25 | |
complain Nikki, it's all good. I
know, I'm not. I'm going to start | 2:26:25 | 2:26:27 | |
eating those soon. They get hot
soon, be careful! Louise is there | 2:26:27 | 2:26:31 | |
with Nikki and they will be talking
about communication, how important | 2:26:31 | 2:26:34 | |
it is. They have special rooms, Jane
has been in a sensory room which is | 2:26:34 | 2:26:40 | |
a lot of the pupils understand how
to communicate and also be calm | 2:26:40 | 2:26:44 | |
often in a busy world.
Lots of people getting in touch this | 2:26:44 | 2:26:48 | |
morning, not only talking about the
staff, people talking about the | 2:26:48 | 2:26:53 | |
staff and a lot of praise for them
but we met some real characters down | 2:26:53 | 2:26:56 | |
there. More from Louisa Lytton later
on this morning. Time to get the | 2:26:56 | 2:27:01 | |
news weather and travel weight you
are, | 2:27:01 | 2:30:19 | |
Plenty more on our website
at the usual address. | 2:30:19 | 2:30:22 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Charlie and Naga. | 2:30:22 | 2:30:23 | |
Bye for now. | 2:30:23 | 2:30:27 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | 2:30:27 | 2:30:33 | |
It is 8:30am. | 2:30:33 | 2:30:35 | |
First, our main story. | 2:30:35 | 2:30:36 | |
A former Scotland Yard detective has
told BBC News he was shocked | 2:30:36 | 2:30:39 | |
by the amount of pornography
on a Parliamentary computer | 2:30:39 | 2:30:41 | |
seized from the office
of the First Secretary of State, | 2:30:41 | 2:30:44 | |
Damian Green. | 2:30:44 | 2:30:45 | |
Mr Green has denied looking
at pornography at work. | 2:30:45 | 2:30:47 | |
Neil Lewis, a computer forensics
specialist, examined the device | 2:30:47 | 2:30:49 | |
during an inquiry into Government
leaks in 2008. | 2:30:49 | 2:30:52 | |
He's now retired, and he spoke
to our home affairs | 2:30:52 | 2:30:54 | |
correspondent Danny Shaw. | 2:30:54 | 2:30:58 | |
How can you be sure
that it was Damian Green | 2:30:58 | 2:31:00 | |
who was accessing pornography? | 2:31:00 | 2:31:04 | |
There's sort of a phrase, "You can't
put fingers on a keyboard." | 2:31:04 | 2:31:07 | |
So I can't say that, but... | 2:31:07 | 2:31:11 | |
The computer was in Mr Green's
office on his desk, | 2:31:11 | 2:31:16 | |
logged in, you know,
to his account, his name. | 2:31:16 | 2:31:20 | |
In between browsing
pornography he was sending | 2:31:20 | 2:31:26 | |
e-mails from his account,
his personal account. | 2:31:26 | 2:31:29 | |
Reading documents,
writing documents. | 2:31:29 | 2:31:35 | |
Health inspectors have ordered
a review of all NHS radiology | 2:31:38 | 2:31:40 | |
services in England,
after a hospital in Portsmouth | 2:31:40 | 2:31:42 | |
failed to spot three
cases of lung cancer. | 2:31:42 | 2:31:45 | |
The investigation by
the Care Quality Commission found | 2:31:45 | 2:31:47 | |
that 20,000 scans had not been
assessed correctly at | 2:31:47 | 2:31:50 | |
the Queen Alexandra Hospital,
and that junior doctors had been | 2:31:50 | 2:31:52 | |
left to interpret the results
without the appropriate training. | 2:31:52 | 2:31:57 | |
The trust has apologised
to the families affected. | 2:31:57 | 2:32:00 | |
The Royal Bank of Scotland has
announced it's to close 259 | 2:32:00 | 2:32:03 | |
branches across the UK,
meaning 680 job losses | 2:32:03 | 2:32:06 | |
across the company.
The banks says it's due to more | 2:32:06 | 2:32:09 | |
customers using mobile
or online techology. | 2:32:09 | 2:32:13 | |
The number of customers
using branches has fallen | 2:32:13 | 2:32:15 | |
by 40% since 2014. | 2:32:15 | 2:32:18 | |
The location of those branches
is unknown and will be | 2:32:18 | 2:32:21 | |
revealed later this morning,
but affected staff have | 2:32:21 | 2:32:23 | |
already been told. | 2:32:23 | 2:32:27 | |
MPs scrutinising the Government's
Brexit plans says border controls | 2:32:27 | 2:32:29 | |
between Northern Ireland
and the Irish Republic | 2:32:29 | 2:32:32 | |
are inevitable if the UK leaves
the EU single market | 2:32:32 | 2:32:34 | |
and customs union. | 2:32:34 | 2:32:37 | |
The Commons Brexit Committee says
ministers have failed to explain how | 2:32:37 | 2:32:40 | |
the issue can be resolved
and that the proposals | 2:32:40 | 2:32:42 | |
they've come up with,
such as the use of technology, | 2:32:42 | 2:32:45 | |
are untested and speculative. | 2:32:45 | 2:32:48 | |
Survivors and those who lost loved
ones in the Grenfell fire say | 2:32:48 | 2:32:51 | |
the public inquiry into the disaster
will be a whitewash | 2:32:51 | 2:32:54 | |
unless a diverse panel is appointed
to oversee the proceedings. | 2:32:54 | 2:32:58 | |
The Government says the process
is ongoing, but campaigners | 2:32:58 | 2:33:00 | |
are urging the Prime Minister
to intervene and say the chairman, | 2:33:00 | 2:33:03 | |
Sir Martin Moore Bick,
should sit with a range of people | 2:33:03 | 2:33:06 | |
who understand the issues facing
those affected by the disaster. | 2:33:06 | 2:33:10 | |
The Argentine navy has abandoned
efforts to rescue the 44 crew | 2:33:10 | 2:33:13 | |
members of a submarine that
disappeared two weeks ago. | 2:33:13 | 2:33:18 | |
Thousands of people have been
involved in the search | 2:33:18 | 2:33:20 | |
for the San Juan, covering a 40,000
square kilometre area | 2:33:20 | 2:33:23 | |
of the South Atlantic. | 2:33:23 | 2:33:25 | |
The authorities say they will still
try to locate the wreckage. | 2:33:25 | 2:33:31 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
are to carry out their first joint | 2:33:31 | 2:33:35 | |
official visit later.
The couple, who announced | 2:33:35 | 2:33:37 | |
their engagement on Monday,
will meet members of the public | 2:33:37 | 2:33:40 | |
at a charity fair and a school
in Nottingham later. | 2:33:40 | 2:33:45 | |
They're due to get married
at Windsor Castle in May. | 2:33:45 | 2:33:55 | |
Those are the main stories. Mike is
here with the sport, is the World | 2:33:56 | 2:34:00 | |
Cup draw happening later this
morning? | 2:34:00 | 2:34:03 | |
No, this afternoon. All the teams
and fans from around the world can | 2:34:03 | 2:34:07 | |
look at the maps of fresh it to plan
their journeys. The flights they | 2:34:07 | 2:34:12 | |
will take, the sleeper trains -- can
look at the maps of Russia. We have | 2:34:12 | 2:34:16 | |
11 time zones in one country. It is
not just who you draw, it is where | 2:34:16 | 2:34:21 | |
you are drawn. You could be
travelling 10,000 miles. Gary | 2:34:21 | 2:34:33 | |
Lineker will be live at the Kremlin.
It is on the BBC at 3pm. We have | 2:34:33 | 2:34:39 | |
been trying to come up with the best
and worst scenarios. Here are some | 2:34:39 | 2:34:43 | |
pictures of the draw getting ready
outside the Kremlin. | 2:34:43 | 2:34:48 | |
In the rehearsals England drew
Brazil twice in Argentina once, you | 2:34:48 | 2:34:53 | |
might think Russia are in the best
case scenario, they are the lowest | 2:34:53 | 2:34:58 | |
ranked team in this competition, but
they are in the pot of top seeds | 2:34:58 | 2:35:01 | |
because they are the hosts, and
Senegal and Saudi Arabia are not | 2:35:01 | 2:35:06 | |
looking too good on current form.
The worst-case scenario, the world | 2:35:06 | 2:35:11 | |
number one team Germany, Costa Rica
who helped put England out of the | 2:35:11 | 2:35:17 | |
last World Cup Nigeria.
But to play against Russia on their | 2:35:17 | 2:35:20 | |
home turf in the early stages of the
World Cup would be hard? | 2:35:20 | 2:35:24 | |
Hosts always have a bit of an
advantage and an incentive with the | 2:35:24 | 2:35:28 | |
crowds, but they have been so poor.
They have not qualified in any | 2:35:28 | 2:35:32 | |
competitive matches for a while.
Google we have had the debate about | 2:35:32 | 2:35:36 | |
whether you want to see England play
really good competitive football or | 2:35:36 | 2:35:40 | |
have easy right?
Or just get through, which has | 2:35:40 | 2:35:45 | |
proven difficult in recent times.
The Russian authorities are | 2:35:45 | 2:35:49 | |
hoping... They say computers will
make sure that the draw grows | 2:35:49 | 2:35:52 | |
smoothly. It is like the Eurovision
Song Contest, lots of singing and | 2:35:52 | 2:35:57 | |
dancing. Let's remind you of 1982,
when it went badly wrong. Belgium | 2:35:57 | 2:36:02 | |
and Scotland were placed in the
wrong sort of the board and it | 2:36:02 | 2:36:06 | |
descended into what you could only
describe as toe curling farce. | 2:36:06 | 2:36:11 | |
And the ball is taken back.
Sensation is much overused word in | 2:36:11 | 2:36:16 | |
sport, there is some possibility of
a redraw. | 2:36:16 | 2:36:21 | |
Also we have a broken ball, as well
as a problem cage. | 2:36:21 | 2:36:26 | |
Our own FA councillors have been
accused of dropping a ball or tee in | 2:36:26 | 2:36:30 | |
the past but I do not think we have
seen anything surpass that. | 2:36:30 | 2:36:37 | |
Balls came apart inside the cage,
the Cage broke, Belgium and Scotland | 2:36:37 | 2:36:41 | |
were drawn in the wrong parts of the
draw. It was all confusing. | 2:36:41 | 2:36:47 | |
Argentina and Brazil with October,
they had to put a ball back and | 2:36:47 | 2:36:51 | |
redraw.
Is there a cage involved today? | 2:36:51 | 2:36:55 | |
Glass bowls, we have seen them in
rehearsal. It looks neater than the | 2:36:55 | 2:36:59 | |
old cage, which is problematic.
So it is not a computer? A computer | 2:36:59 | 2:37:05 | |
helps make sure teams are not put in
the wrong place. There can be more | 2:37:05 | 2:37:10 | |
than two European teams in the same
pool, if you like, so many rules. -- | 2:37:10 | 2:37:14 | |
there cannot be more than two
European teams. | 2:37:14 | 2:37:18 | |
This time tomorrow we'll
all be talking about | 2:37:18 | 2:37:20 | |
the Rugby League World Cup final,
and will be building up to England v | 2:37:20 | 2:37:23 | |
Australia, here on Breakfast. | 2:37:23 | 2:37:24 | |
And overnight we've heard the big
news that England's captain | 2:37:24 | 2:37:27 | |
Sean O'Loughlin has been ruled out
with a thigh strain. | 2:37:27 | 2:37:29 | |
Sam Burgess will lead the side. | 2:37:29 | 2:37:35 | |
He has experience, thankfully. | 2:37:35 | 2:37:36 | |
He captained England in last year's,
Four Nations series, | 2:37:36 | 2:37:39 | |
and assistant coach Dennis Betts
said Burgess was a doer and a leader | 2:37:39 | 2:37:42 | |
and the natural replacement. | 2:37:42 | 2:37:46 | |
In recent years it has been
Australia or New Zealand winning the | 2:37:46 | 2:37:50 | |
World Cup. England will be the
underdogs tomorrow. It starts live | 2:37:50 | 2:37:53 | |
on the BBC at 9am tomorrow.
Sometimes coming in as an underdog | 2:37:53 | 2:37:57 | |
is good. I agree. Thank you, Mike. | 2:37:57 | 2:38:01 | |
All this week on Breakfast
we've been discussing | 2:38:01 | 2:38:03 | |
special educational needs,
looking at the challenges faced | 2:38:03 | 2:38:05 | |
by disabled children
and their families. | 2:38:05 | 2:38:13 | |
We are lucky to have been invited to
Piper Hill high school in | 2:38:13 | 2:38:18 | |
Wythenshawe, a remarkable place.
Lewies has been there through the | 2:38:18 | 2:38:21 | |
morning to meet some rather
inspirational young people. | 2:38:21 | 2:38:28 | |
Thank you both so much. Good
morning. Charlie, you are right, it | 2:38:28 | 2:38:33 | |
has been inspiring to be here all
day. We have been inspired here on | 2:38:33 | 2:38:38 | |
Breakfast buy all your messages from
parents, teachers, carers, whoever | 2:38:38 | 2:38:43 | |
it might be, who have engaged with
us over the subject of special | 2:38:43 | 2:38:46 | |
educational needs over the last
week. Thank you for those questions. | 2:38:46 | 2:38:50 | |
I will talk about that over the next
half-hour, before we do the next | 2:38:50 | 2:38:55 | |
thing I want to introduce you to
Linda Jones, the head teacher here. | 2:38:55 | 2:39:06 | |
Diane is herewith Josh, one of the
classroom assistants. We will talk | 2:39:06 | 2:39:08 | |
about him in a moment. Jonathan
Bartley is joint leader of the | 2:39:08 | 2:39:10 | |
greens and has personal experience
of this, he has a son with special | 2:39:10 | 2:39:13 | |
educational needs, and Graham
Robson, a head teacher at another | 2:39:13 | 2:39:15 | |
special school. We have so much to
discuss. What has been striking is | 2:39:15 | 2:39:19 | |
that this is a school where things
are the same but a bit different. We | 2:39:19 | 2:39:24 | |
know from our responses and
investigations that many parents | 2:39:24 | 2:39:26 | |
would like their children to come to
a school like this in England. In | 2:39:26 | 2:39:31 | |
Scotland there is also an emphasis
on mainstreaming of children, Lorna | 2:39:31 | 2:39:36 | |
Gordon has investigated what that
means and what it is like. | 2:39:36 | 2:39:39 | |
# Hark the herald angels sing... | 2:39:39 | 2:39:40 | |
It's morning at the Juniper Green
Primary School in Edinburgh. | 2:39:40 | 2:39:44 | |
On the timetable for these children
in the fourth year of primary - | 2:39:44 | 2:39:47 | |
music, spelling, story time... | 2:39:47 | 2:39:50 | |
..And their daily mile of exercise. | 2:39:51 | 2:39:55 | |
Ewan, who has cerebral palsy,
takes part in all of | 2:39:55 | 2:39:57 | |
the classes and activities. | 2:39:57 | 2:39:59 | |
He has really good friends here. | 2:39:59 | 2:40:01 | |
What's her name? | 2:40:01 | 2:40:02 | |
Phoebe. | 2:40:02 | 2:40:03 | |
That's Phoebe? | 2:40:03 | 2:40:04 | |
And he has one-to-one help
throughout the school day. | 2:40:04 | 2:40:07 | |
You and Ewan spend
a lot of time together? | 2:40:07 | 2:40:09 | |
We're together quite a lot. | 2:40:09 | 2:40:11 | |
We're together every morning
and we've been together every | 2:40:11 | 2:40:13 | |
morning for about three years. | 2:40:13 | 2:40:14 | |
I get a lot back from Ewan. | 2:40:14 | 2:40:16 | |
He is a happy wee boy
and he enjoys himself at school. | 2:40:16 | 2:40:19 | |
In Scotland, the aim is to keep
children with additional support | 2:40:19 | 2:40:21 | |
needs in mainstream schools. | 2:40:21 | 2:40:24 | |
In England, there's been an increase
in special schools and fewer | 2:40:24 | 2:40:27 | |
children kept in mainstream ones. | 2:40:27 | 2:40:30 | |
Ewan's mum Jane says the Scottish
system has worked well for her son. | 2:40:30 | 2:40:34 | |
It has given him a sense
of belonging to his community | 2:40:34 | 2:40:37 | |
and a sense of worth and respect. | 2:40:37 | 2:40:42 | |
He's with his brother and sister. | 2:40:42 | 2:40:43 | |
His independence has increased. | 2:40:43 | 2:40:46 | |
And he really seems to enjoy it? | 2:40:46 | 2:40:47 | |
Loves school. | 2:40:47 | 2:40:49 | |
The teachers here believe the policy
of inclusiveness is good for Ewan | 2:40:49 | 2:40:52 | |
and for everyone else
in the school, too. | 2:40:52 | 2:40:56 | |
It's been lovely seeing him grow,
flourish and develop | 2:40:56 | 2:40:58 | |
in his time here. | 2:40:58 | 2:41:01 | |
And I think for the children that
are within his class, | 2:41:01 | 2:41:05 | |
they benefit hugely,
learning to understand sort | 2:41:05 | 2:41:07 | |
of different disabilities
and different needs and that | 2:41:07 | 2:41:09 | |
children are all the
same on the inside. | 2:41:09 | 2:41:13 | |
A quarter of children
in Scotland have what's called | 2:41:13 | 2:41:15 | |
here additional support needs. | 2:41:15 | 2:41:17 | |
In England it's around one in seven. | 2:41:17 | 2:41:20 | |
But there's a much
broader definition here, | 2:41:20 | 2:41:23 | |
which includes family
circumstances, health, disability. | 2:41:23 | 2:41:26 | |
And though the number receiving
extra help in Scotland has | 2:41:26 | 2:41:29 | |
in recent years gone up,
the number of specialist support | 2:41:29 | 2:41:31 | |
teachers has dropped. | 2:41:31 | 2:41:34 | |
There absolutely is a squeeze
and there is pressure | 2:41:34 | 2:41:36 | |
on the workforce in schools to meet
the broad range of | 2:41:36 | 2:41:38 | |
needs of their pupils. | 2:41:38 | 2:41:42 | |
But there's also exceptionally good
practice, so it's the exceptionally | 2:41:42 | 2:41:44 | |
good practice taking place
that we need to really learn from. | 2:41:44 | 2:41:49 | |
These mums, who take their children
to The Yard, an adventure play | 2:41:49 | 2:41:52 | |
centre for disabled children,
told me their priority | 2:41:52 | 2:41:54 | |
is the right to choose. | 2:41:54 | 2:41:58 | |
I want an autism school for my son,
which has those small classes | 2:41:58 | 2:42:01 | |
of about six that he will get
the best education, | 2:42:01 | 2:42:04 | |
because at the moment
when he is in a mainstream | 2:42:04 | 2:42:07 | |
environment he is depressive
and he is overwhelmed. | 2:42:07 | 2:42:11 | |
For our daughter, it was
clear that she got a lot | 2:42:11 | 2:42:14 | |
more from mainstream
because what they were offering | 2:42:14 | 2:42:16 | |
was more appropriate to how
she learns and what she wanted | 2:42:16 | 2:42:20 | |
to learn about. | 2:42:20 | 2:42:21 | |
The Scottish Government says
children should be schooled | 2:42:21 | 2:42:23 | |
where their needs are best met,
either in special schools | 2:42:23 | 2:42:25 | |
or mainstream ones. | 2:42:25 | 2:42:28 | |
The local school has
worked out well for Ewan. | 2:42:28 | 2:42:30 | |
His family wouldn't
want it any other way. | 2:42:30 | 2:42:37 | |
It is wonderful to see you in
clearly enjoying school. I want to | 2:42:42 | 2:42:47 | |
pick up on some of those themes,
particularly the right to choose | 2:42:47 | 2:42:52 | |
that was mentioned. Linda, you are a
head teacher. Tell us a bit about | 2:42:52 | 2:42:56 | |
the pupils who are here? They are
aged 11 to 19 with very significant | 2:42:56 | 2:43:03 | |
learning difficulties and associated
other difficulties as well. | 2:43:03 | 2:43:06 | |
You have talked about celebrating
difference. That is our core | 2:43:06 | 2:43:12 | |
purpose, celebrate difference, make
sure every student makes outstanding | 2:43:12 | 2:43:16 | |
progress and we really, really try
to look up the steps of learning and | 2:43:16 | 2:43:20 | |
the wider curriculum to prepare
students with their families for | 2:43:20 | 2:43:23 | |
when students leave school. It has
been an amazing experience to be | 2:43:23 | 2:43:28 | |
here today. Some parents are finding
it difficult to get to places like | 2:43:28 | 2:43:32 | |
this, how do the children get a
place here? | 2:43:32 | 2:43:35 | |
Students get a place here via the
local authority. Many students have | 2:43:35 | 2:43:40 | |
come maybe from mainstream schools,
and one of the things we really | 2:43:40 | 2:43:43 | |
understand the parents is it is
really good that they have a right | 2:43:43 | 2:43:46 | |
to choose whether it is mainstream
special. They know their child the | 2:43:46 | 2:43:51 | |
best. -- whether it is mainstream or
special. I have been here for 30 | 2:43:51 | 2:43:56 | |
years, it is very important to take
on those parents' wishes. | 2:43:56 | 2:44:01 | |
Dan, thank you for bringing in Josh.
It is a bit like Gogglebox, we would | 2:44:01 | 2:44:05 | |
like on the sofa. -- like him on the
sofa. As well as being joint leader | 2:44:05 | 2:44:13 | |
of the Green Party you have your own
experience of special educational | 2:44:13 | 2:44:16 | |
needs from your son Sam. He is
powered wheelchair user, he has | 2:44:16 | 2:44:22 | |
differentiated curriculum at a
mainstream school, has a smaller | 2:44:22 | 2:44:25 | |
nurture Parton joins other classes.
You talked about choice, every | 2:44:25 | 2:44:29 | |
parent wants an education that works
for child. Every parent should have | 2:44:29 | 2:44:34 | |
the opportunity for a mainstream
education that works for their | 2:44:34 | 2:44:38 | |
child, whatever their child's
challenges and difficulties. There | 2:44:38 | 2:44:42 | |
are problems of funding across the
board, every school is being | 2:44:42 | 2:44:45 | |
squeezed very hard in the current
context of cuts. And the mainstream | 2:44:45 | 2:44:51 | |
education is becoming increasingly
academically focused rather than the | 2:44:51 | 2:44:54 | |
flourishing of children generally,
meeting emotional intelligence, the | 2:44:54 | 2:44:58 | |
ability to relate. We have a very
narrow focus, which excludes many | 2:44:58 | 2:45:02 | |
children and parents find they have
no option except to go to a special | 2:45:02 | 2:45:06 | |
school or home.
It was imported to you that he went | 2:45:06 | 2:45:11 | |
to a mainstream school, why has it
made a difference? It has made a | 2:45:11 | 2:45:15 | |
difference to him and to the
children at the school as well. At | 2:45:15 | 2:45:18 | |
his primary school, when he, in
inverted commas, run the hundred | 2:45:18 | 2:45:22 | |
metres with his other classmates,
that was the first time in that | 2:45:22 | 2:45:26 | |
school that everyone realise the
taking part mattered, not winning. | 2:45:26 | 2:45:30 | |
As parents we like to see it is
great to see kids take part but we | 2:45:30 | 2:45:33 | |
like them to win, when he took part
in sports dazedly people realise it | 2:45:33 | 2:45:37 | |
is much more than the trophy, it is
taking part, the relationships. That | 2:45:37 | 2:45:43 | |
was a seminal moment for him and
everybody watching? A hugely | 2:45:43 | 2:45:48 | |
significant moment and the result
was in subsequent sports days | 2:45:48 | 2:45:52 | |
Paralympic sports were introduced,
there was a rich education. When we | 2:45:52 | 2:45:57 | |
include children and don't
segregate, when we get everyone | 2:45:57 | 2:45:59 | |
together we all benefit. | 2:45:59 | 2:46:05 | |
Graham Robson, you are headteacher
of a special school in Crawley. What | 2:46:05 | 2:46:09 | |
are you facing at the moment? I
would concur with everything that | 2:46:09 | 2:46:14 | |
has been said already around the
aspiration of parents and how they | 2:46:14 | 2:46:17 | |
would like to choose. The trouble is
the right to choose the right | 2:46:17 | 2:46:21 | |
provision is being compromised in
some areas of the country by a | 2:46:21 | 2:46:23 | |
chronic lack of funding. I run a
school in west Sussex which is the | 2:46:23 | 2:46:28 | |
third lowest funded authority in the
country. Special schools are not | 2:46:28 | 2:46:32 | |
part of the National funding
formula, so whatever small increases | 2:46:32 | 2:46:36 | |
in mainstream schools are getting,
we won't get any increase at all. I | 2:46:36 | 2:46:40 | |
am already at the stage where my
staffing is so low because of the | 2:46:40 | 2:46:44 | |
cuts I've had to make over the last
three years that I'm now in the | 2:46:44 | 2:46:47 | |
position of having to phone parents
up and say, on an individual basis, | 2:46:47 | 2:46:52 | |
if we have key members of staff out,
I can't have your son or daughter in | 2:46:52 | 2:46:59 | |
today and I am sorry. Which has a
massive impact on them, presumably? | 2:46:59 | 2:47:03 | |
A massive impact and I take my
responsibility as a public service | 2:47:03 | 2:47:07 | |
-- is a public servant very
seriously to provide the best | 2:47:07 | 2:47:13 | |
education we can. You are on the
front line and that can have | 2:47:13 | 2:47:16 | |
physical implications at times as
well, can't it? Absolutely. I | 2:47:16 | 2:47:21 | |
suppose one of our concerns at the
moment that the squeeze on our | 2:47:21 | 2:47:25 | |
funding is making the word risk much
more prominent in my mind. A couple | 2:47:25 | 2:47:28 | |
of years ago I was working with some
staff with an autistic youngster and | 2:47:28 | 2:47:34 | |
I was knocked out. I was taken to
hospital in an ambulance. Since that | 2:47:34 | 2:47:39 | |
time, we have taken on more
youngsters and our budget has been | 2:47:39 | 2:47:44 | |
cut by £70,000 per year so I am
going into work at the moment not | 2:47:44 | 2:47:49 | |
quite sure whether today is the day
that something is going to happen | 2:47:49 | 2:47:51 | |
that's going to put me on the front
page of the newspapers. Which is, I | 2:47:51 | 2:47:56 | |
mean, I don't even know how to
respond to that. But an enormous | 2:47:56 | 2:48:01 | |
amount of responsibility. I feel the
responsibility for my staff who are | 2:48:01 | 2:48:06 | |
doing an incredible job trying to
make up the gaps in staffing that I | 2:48:06 | 2:48:09 | |
am having to tell them we haven't
got any choice over. We have asked | 2:48:09 | 2:48:16 | |
for a government minister repeatedly
over the last few weeks and they | 2:48:16 | 2:48:18 | |
haven't heard anybody up to talk to
us, even though we have, as we have | 2:48:18 | 2:48:23 | |
said on the programme, asked
repeatedly. We do have a quote from | 2:48:23 | 2:48:27 | |
them about funding go from the
Department for Education. They say | 2:48:27 | 2:48:31 | |
they have fundamentally reformed the
special needs education system to | 2:48:31 | 2:48:34 | |
put families at its heart, backed by
over £250 million investment to | 2:48:34 | 2:48:39 | |
support local authorities. They are
talking about there is more money? | 2:48:39 | 2:48:44 | |
But it's not being distributed
fairly. West Sussex has been told | 2:48:44 | 2:48:47 | |
they won't get any more money in
their higher needs block for the | 2:48:47 | 2:48:51 | |
next three years. The reason West
Sussex spent so much money on higher | 2:48:51 | 2:48:56 | |
needs is because mainstream schools
have been chronically underfunded | 2:48:56 | 2:48:58 | |
for so long that as we have just
been discussing about the need for | 2:48:58 | 2:49:03 | |
inclusive education, West Sussex
schools do not have the capacity to | 2:49:03 | 2:49:06 | |
do this. You seem to be saying this
is a postcode lottery. We are trying | 2:49:06 | 2:49:10 | |
to get a response. Is that what is
happening in some ways? There is an | 2:49:10 | 2:49:19 | |
element of that. Let's remind
ourselves what we have just heard. | 2:49:19 | 2:49:21 | |
We have heard their rascals having
to send their peoples home because | 2:49:21 | 2:49:24 | |
they do not have enough money. -- we
have heard there are schools having | 2:49:24 | 2:49:29 | |
to send their students home because
they do not have enough money. That | 2:49:29 | 2:49:33 | |
is absolutely shocking in the 21st
century. There are regional | 2:49:33 | 2:49:37 | |
variations but it is coming from the
top down. We did ask them whether | 2:49:37 | 2:49:41 | |
that money is ring fenced,
guaranteed to be spent only in this | 2:49:41 | 2:49:45 | |
area, and they said no to that. We
will continue, we have been so | 2:49:45 | 2:49:50 | |
impressed with our audience here, we
will continue asking questions. | 2:49:50 | 2:49:54 | |
Shall we talk about the dog? Because
he is here and we all love him. What | 2:49:54 | 2:49:59 | |
is the purpose of having a therapy
dog? Because a therapeutic purpose. | 2:49:59 | 2:50:06 | |
For many students, they are very
calming, and for other students, it | 2:50:06 | 2:50:12 | |
is very important for them to
overcome phobias so they can live a | 2:50:12 | 2:50:15 | |
life where they can go out onto the
street and walked past a dog. You | 2:50:15 | 2:50:20 | |
have one girl who couldn't leave the
house because she was so frightened? | 2:50:20 | 2:50:26 | |
Yes, she can travel independently
but you are so frightened of dogs | 2:50:26 | 2:50:29 | |
she couldn't. Over two years, she
began to tolerate the dog and that | 2:50:29 | 2:50:33 | |
can now get to school independently
on her own on the bus. Thank you | 2:50:33 | 2:50:38 | |
very much. Diane, I haven't spoken
to you, but thank you very much for | 2:50:38 | 2:50:43 | |
bringing him in. We will continue
the discussion and hear more about | 2:50:43 | 2:50:47 | |
what it is like living at home with
a child with special educational | 2:50:47 | 2:50:50 | |
needs every day. First though, the
weather with | 2:50:50 | 2:50:52 | |
needs every day. First though, the
weather with Matt. Thanks, Louise. | 2:50:52 | 2:50:58 | |
You can argue with this as a
location? I am at Brighton Pavilion | 2:50:58 | 2:51:03 | |
on ice and I have managed so far to
stay successfully on my feet. It is | 2:51:03 | 2:51:08 | |
the start me to logically speaking
as the first day of winter, the 1st | 2:51:08 | 2:51:15 | |
of December, with eyes across parts
of northern England but changes are | 2:51:15 | 2:51:25 | |
of that. Let's take a look at the
forecast this weekend. Turning more | 2:51:25 | 2:51:31 | |
mild and a good deal more cloudy.
Some of the milder weather is coming | 2:51:31 | 2:51:36 | |
into Scotland at the moment, a bit
more cloud around here, but the rest | 2:51:36 | 2:51:41 | |
of Scotland, sunshine ahead. Sunny
start as well across northern | 2:51:41 | 2:51:46 | |
England and the Pennines. Eight view
showers still around this morning, | 2:51:46 | 2:51:49 | |
mainly of rain now. The temperatures
have lifted a bit compared with | 2:51:49 | 2:51:53 | |
yesterday. There is still a bit of
sleet on the hills and the chance of | 2:51:53 | 2:51:57 | |
ice in one or two spots. The wind is
easing down but even here it has got | 2:51:57 | 2:52:03 | |
quite a chill to it. East Anglia,
the south-east soon be strongest of | 2:52:03 | 2:52:07 | |
the winds today. Lovely sunny day
across much of western England and | 2:52:07 | 2:52:15 | |
Wales. After a frosty start, just
one or two very isolated showers. | 2:52:15 | 2:52:20 | |
Northern Ireland starting sunny as
well. Breathe a day, the cloud will | 2:52:20 | 2:52:24 | |
increase. It's not just in Northern
Ireland. Scotland could see a lot | 2:52:24 | 2:52:31 | |
more cloud as well as we head into
the afternoon, with some patchy | 2:52:31 | 2:52:33 | |
light rain and drizzle. The cloud
will thicken up later in the day | 2:52:33 | 2:52:38 | |
across the far north of England, but
with showers in the east fading | 2:52:38 | 2:52:43 | |
away, probably confined to coastal
districts, temperatures will be up a | 2:52:43 | 2:52:50 | |
degree or two on yesterday, but
wherever you are, it is still a | 2:52:50 | 2:52:55 | |
chilly day. Overnight, frosts could
form very quickly that temperatures | 2:52:55 | 2:53:01 | |
will rise overnight as cloud spreads
its way southwards bringing rain | 2:53:01 | 2:53:05 | |
here and there. A few breaks in the
cloud will send it back close to | 2:53:05 | 2:53:10 | |
freezing meaning there could be a
little frost and ice around for one | 2:53:10 | 2:53:14 | |
or two as we start Saturday morning.
The milder weather is on its way but | 2:53:14 | 2:53:18 | |
it will take awhile. Saturday starts
cloudier than the last few days. The | 2:53:18 | 2:53:23 | |
top and tail of the country most
likely to see rain and drizzle | 2:53:23 | 2:53:26 | |
around. Milder air at this stage
only confined to Scotland, Northern | 2:53:26 | 2:53:37 | |
Ireland and maybe western England
and Wales. For all of us vote on | 2:53:37 | 2:53:42 | |
Sunday, milder air in place. Maybe
some drizzle across the west, most | 2:53:42 | 2:53:48 | |
having a dry day on Sunday, and a
bright one to the east of high | 2:53:48 | 2:53:54 | |
ground with sunny spells.
Temperatures up to a high of 11 | 2:53:54 | 2:53:57 | |
degrees. That is how it is looking.
It stays mild into next week. We | 2:53:57 | 2:54:01 | |
will have more from Monday but from
the Brighton Pavilion for now, have | 2:54:01 | 2:54:07 | |
a great weekend. Back to you,
Louise. | 2:54:07 | 2:54:10 | |
a great weekend. Back to you,
Louise. Thank you very much for that | 2:54:10 | 2:54:13 | |
and thank you all for joining us. We
will talk now about what it is like | 2:54:13 | 2:54:17 | |
to live with a child with special
needs. John Paul Horsley from the | 2:54:17 | 2:54:22 | |
band Big Brother is, thank you for
joining us, Tanya, thank you for | 2:54:22 | 2:54:30 | |
joining us, you have a website
called special-needs jungle, and | 2:54:30 | 2:54:34 | |
your son Giorgio. And George Baylis.
George, we will start with you. You | 2:54:34 | 2:54:39 | |
have twin boys. I do. One has
classic autism and one has a working | 2:54:39 | 2:54:48 | |
diagnosis of autism. Both have
sensory disorders as well and speech | 2:54:48 | 2:54:53 | |
and language issues. That was
diagnosed early for us, at about two | 2:54:53 | 2:54:58 | |
and a half years, they are now five,
so we have been working to exist and | 2:54:58 | 2:55:04 | |
function within a school. How would
you describe daily life? | 2:55:04 | 2:55:10 | |
Challenging. One of the issues with
autism that comes along is that | 2:55:10 | 2:55:16 | |
sleep is disturbed. My son who is
disabled by his differences will | 2:55:16 | 2:55:20 | |
typically sleep between four and six
hours a day in total and that is | 2:55:20 | 2:55:25 | |
broken sleep, so it can be two hours
here, four hours here, so my wife | 2:55:25 | 2:55:29 | |
and I take it intends to deal with
him through the night and try to | 2:55:29 | 2:55:33 | |
keep the rest of the household as
well able to sleep and function | 2:55:33 | 2:55:36 | |
throughout the day. That is quite
challenging, especially for him, | 2:55:36 | 2:55:40 | |
because obviously when you are
tired, you are more. Your behaviour | 2:55:40 | 2:55:49 | |
is not as good and your ability to
function and processes also affected | 2:55:49 | 2:55:51 | |
by that. It kind of compounds his
autism. I can see both of you to | 2:55:51 | 2:55:56 | |
parents nodding. Shall I come to
you, Tanya. You have got two sons. | 2:55:56 | 2:56:00 | |
Please tell us about them. Luke and
Giorgio. Luke is nearly 20 Giorgio | 2:56:00 | 2:56:10 | |
is 18. They both have autism, as
Burgess as it was. It was clear to | 2:56:10 | 2:56:18 | |
me that there was something
different about them but lots of | 2:56:18 | 2:56:22 | |
people said, well, you know, they
are just young. But we knew. They | 2:56:22 | 2:56:29 | |
ended up from mainstream, where they
weren't thriving, into an | 2:56:29 | 2:56:34 | |
independent specialist school which
was fantastic for them and Giorgio | 2:56:34 | 2:56:38 | |
is now at university, and his
brother. Which is just great news. | 2:56:38 | 2:56:43 | |
Jean-Paul, tell us about your son.
My son is called Richard Michael, | 2:56:43 | 2:56:50 | |
and he has classic autism. He is
nonverbal and are currently at a | 2:56:50 | 2:56:59 | |
specialist school in London and
doing really well. He was previously | 2:56:59 | 2:57:04 | |
at a mainstream school where he was
deemed as not being able to be | 2:57:04 | 2:57:09 | |
educated, so he was moved and we
fought for him. Now he has moved, he | 2:57:09 | 2:57:15 | |
has come along leaps and bounds, so
it was a good decision to move him, | 2:57:15 | 2:57:20 | |
for sure. What is striking,
listening to everything and reading | 2:57:20 | 2:57:23 | |
all the e-mails, everyone who has
gotten in contact, it is the pride, | 2:57:23 | 2:57:29 | |
the love for their children and
there are so many people out there | 2:57:29 | 2:57:33 | |
fighting. You just mention that as
well. Definitely. When Richard was | 2:57:33 | 2:57:38 | |
diagnosed, I left the music
industry, I had music contracts in | 2:57:38 | 2:57:42 | |
place but I asked everyone to leave
me alone so I could focus on my son. | 2:57:42 | 2:57:47 | |
It might have had an adverse effect
on my career but my family life is | 2:57:47 | 2:57:51 | |
so much better, so I am happy I made
the right decision. Go on, you were | 2:57:51 | 2:57:56 | |
studying to become a lawyer? Yes,
the year the boys were born I passed | 2:57:56 | 2:58:02 | |
my law degree with honours and I was
on my way to certification. That is | 2:58:02 | 2:58:09 | |
when the sleep became the problem
and the problem is compounded and I | 2:58:09 | 2:58:12 | |
wasn't able to do that. But I have
been able to work with a charity who | 2:58:12 | 2:58:20 | |
provides legal advice to parents to
help them get a functional plan. | 2:58:20 | 2:58:23 | |
They does same to be a groundswell
-- seem to be a groundswell of | 2:58:23 | 2:58:29 | |
support for this and you are part of
that, Tanya? Yes, I started my | 2:58:29 | 2:58:35 | |
website to explain, and I am a
journalist by profession, which I | 2:58:35 | 2:58:38 | |
had to give up. I am sitting here
with three parents and you have all | 2:58:38 | 2:58:43 | |
effectively had to give up on your
careers cutter and your wife as | 2:58:43 | 2:58:48 | |
well? Go on, Tanya. You started your
website. Because I didn't have as | 2:58:48 | 2:58:52 | |
big fight as many parents I knew
whose children were far more | 2:58:52 | 2:58:56 | |
disabled than my own and because I'd
set about writing it as a report, | 2:58:56 | 2:59:02 | |
looking at any areas where they
might argue with me, effectively | 2:59:02 | 2:59:06 | |
cutting them off, I thought, OK, I'm
going to write this down to help | 2:59:06 | 2:59:10 | |
other parents and it's just grown
over the years and now we have about | 2:59:10 | 2:59:14 | |
150,000 views a month. 23,000 likes
on Facebook. It's really taken off | 2:59:14 | 2:59:21 | |
and what we are hearing is that far
from being made better since the | 2:59:21 | 2:59:26 | |
reforms we have been talking about,
it is actually worse for very many | 2:59:26 | 2:59:30 | |
people. Parents are losing support
when they have been promised by the | 2:59:30 | 2:59:34 | |
Minister himself that it wouldn't
happen, but it has happened. | 2:59:34 | 2:59:42 | |
John Paul, I see you nodding.
Definitely, as far as support goes | 2:59:42 | 2:59:46 | |
there is not a lot out there. Over
the years it has been less and less | 2:59:46 | 2:59:51 | |
and less. As a parent I have seen
lots of the cuts and how it has | 2:59:51 | 2:59:55 | |
affected my family in particular. I
know lots of people at home are not | 2:59:55 | 3:00:00 | |
as privileged as myself. So I am
able to afford the support if I | 3:00:00 | 3:00:05 | |
cannot get it for free or whatever.
Lots of other parents are not in | 3:00:05 | 3:00:10 | |
opposition. Giorgio, you have come
through the educational system and | 3:00:10 | 3:00:15 | |
are at university, how are things
going for you? It is great. I get a | 3:00:15 | 3:00:25 | |
lot of support. I never really felt
like an acoustic child. I have been | 3:00:25 | 3:00:32 | |
able to focus on developing as a
person rather than focusing on my | 3:00:32 | 3:00:37 | |
needs. Which is a really positive
message. Another thing, you have all | 3:00:37 | 3:00:41 | |
had to give up your jobs and the
three of you recently have been | 3:00:41 | 3:00:45 | |
diagnosed with... I was diagnosed
with Asperger's syndrome, which is a | 3:00:45 | 3:00:51 | |
type of autism. Recently? A bug in
April, in fact. They would call it | 3:00:51 | 3:00:57 | |
high functioning autism, I just
think makes me Superman because my | 3:00:57 | 3:01:01 | |
ears and eyes are amazing. Detail,
possibly. I am not perfect with | 3:01:01 | 3:01:07 | |
speech, that is my thing. Add you as
well, diagnosed with autism or...? | 3:01:07 | 3:01:13 | |
The same thing. I kind of knew but
it was only when the boys started | 3:01:13 | 3:01:17 | |
saying you are autistic as well but
I thought I would pursue it. I don't | 3:01:17 | 3:01:28 | |
have a formal diagnosis but when you
are talking about you are autistic | 3:01:28 | 3:01:30 | |
as well, the traits, the Apple does
not fall far from the tree and you | 3:01:30 | 3:01:33 | |
see a lot of the same things in
yourself. Testing online, which is | 3:01:33 | 3:01:37 | |
available for some autism
conditions, it is tick, tick, tick. | 3:01:37 | 3:01:42 | |
That is what makes are so
determined. It is really | 3:01:42 | 3:01:46 | |
inspirational to Choo ball, thank
you all for your time. We will come | 3:01:46 | 3:01:49 | |
back to this in a couple of moments,
we will be speaking to Nikki Fox as | 3:01:49 | 3:01:54 | |
well. Keep e-mailing, but now it is
the regional news wherever you | 3:01:54 | 3:01:58 | |
happen to be watching. | 3:01:58 | 3:03:33 | |
And back at 1:30pm. See you. | 3:03:33 | 3:03:44 | |
Welcome back and thank you for
watching. We will be talking about | 3:03:44 | 3:03:50 | |
really positive messages, hopefully,
in the next five minutes or so. We | 3:03:50 | 3:03:54 | |
have Nikki Fox, you will recognise
her. How long have you been on the | 3:03:54 | 3:03:58 | |
programme? Three years now. It is
always wonderful to have you here. | 3:03:58 | 3:04:02 | |
Laura James is a journalist, we can
also speak to a maths teacher, Abed, | 3:04:02 | 3:04:11 | |
one of our viewers, you have been
watching this week and you will | 3:04:11 | 3:04:15 | |
explain why you are here. I have
been stammering since I was four, | 3:04:15 | 3:04:20 | |
struggling to speak since that young
age. I have been struggling at | 3:04:20 | 3:04:23 | |
school to voice my opinion is, or
even just putting up my hands. So I | 3:04:23 | 3:04:32 | |
was told that I might struggle to
become a teacher because of my | 3:04:32 | 3:04:35 | |
stammer. So that put me down for a
bit but I did not let it stop me | 3:04:35 | 3:04:43 | |
from becoming a teacher at a
secondary school. As soon as I | 3:04:43 | 3:04:47 | |
became a teacher the first thing
that I wanted to do was run my own | 3:04:47 | 3:04:54 | |
stammer support sessions. So I work
with about ten pupils in my school, | 3:04:54 | 3:04:59 | |
they have got the same struggle as
me. Some of them struggle way more | 3:04:59 | 3:05:03 | |
than me and some not as much. What
we do in these sessions, fun things, | 3:05:03 | 3:05:10 | |
just to get them to talk. The things
we do is like drama play, teaching | 3:05:10 | 3:05:14 | |
them basic things like how to speak
to people over the phone and basic | 3:05:14 | 3:05:21 | |
things like telling your name, I
really struggle to say my name. I | 3:05:21 | 3:05:26 | |
felt bad, because I asked you
earlier. And I was struggling to | 3:05:26 | 3:05:32 | |
just say my name. So I just try and
teach those kids those small | 3:05:32 | 3:05:36 | |
techniques. I tend to just... Just
to get their confidence up. It is an | 3:05:36 | 3:05:43 | |
amazing thing that you are doing,
and it is amazing what you have | 3:05:43 | 3:05:47 | |
managed to do. Richard Brown, you
are a drama teacher, special needs | 3:05:47 | 3:05:51 | |
outstanding teacher of the year, I
think more than once. Just the once. | 3:05:51 | 3:05:56 | |
Thank you for joining us. Drummer
helps you, we will come to you in a | 3:05:56 | 3:06:01 | |
second, but how does that help young
people? -- drama helps you. It | 3:06:01 | 3:06:09 | |
promote self-esteem, confidence,
social skills, we try to use it at | 3:06:09 | 3:06:12 | |
our school in everything we do, the
arts, we find the impact is amazing. | 3:06:12 | 3:06:18 | |
You have these young people that
come in and they are not | 3:06:18 | 3:06:21 | |
particularly confident, don't really
know themselves, by the time they | 3:06:21 | 3:06:24 | |
leave school they have been
performances, being on stage, made | 3:06:24 | 3:06:28 | |
films and they leave the school
knowing who they are and feeling | 3:06:28 | 3:06:31 | |
confident.
Let's talk about your work, you are | 3:06:31 | 3:06:37 | |
a journalist and you have your own,
in some ways, special education | 3:06:37 | 3:06:41 | |
needs, but you did not know? I was
diagnosed with autism very late, | 3:06:41 | 3:06:45 | |
which I think is quite common for
women, surprisingly common. We | 3:06:45 | 3:06:50 | |
generally have quite a stereotypical
view of what autism is and women | 3:06:50 | 3:06:53 | |
tend not to fit that. It was a bit
of a surprise. I have talked to you | 3:06:53 | 3:06:58 | |
about this before, was at a good
thing, the diagnosis? I think it | 3:06:58 | 3:07:02 | |
really was. If you know stuff about
yourself then you are prepared and | 3:07:02 | 3:07:09 | |
can deal with life on a better
footing. Before I was diagnosed I | 3:07:09 | 3:07:14 | |
always knew something was different
about me and my brain is the type | 3:07:14 | 3:07:17 | |
that wants to know everything. Not
knowing what it was was really quite | 3:07:17 | 3:07:22 | |
confusing. As a journalist, that is
a top skill? | 3:07:22 | 3:07:28 | |
It is great, you get to ask
difficult questions and you get to | 3:07:28 | 3:07:32 | |
really think and dig deeper into a
topic, which is brilliant and a | 3:07:32 | 3:07:36 | |
great way of interacting.
With autism, for some people, me | 3:07:36 | 3:07:41 | |
particularly, small talk and be
excruciating. If you get to walk | 3:07:41 | 3:07:45 | |
into somebody's house and ask all
the questions everybody wants to and | 3:07:45 | 3:07:48 | |
are paid to do it, it is really
cool. Nikki, we see you reporting | 3:07:48 | 3:07:55 | |
but I never get to ask you how life
was like for you growing up, how was | 3:07:55 | 3:08:00 | |
school? It is amazing, quite
frankly, that I have this job. I | 3:08:00 | 3:08:05 | |
went to a mainstream primary school
but they had other disabled people | 3:08:05 | 3:08:08 | |
at the school, they had an amazing
physiotherapy pool, which was great, | 3:08:08 | 3:08:13 | |
but they took me out of all of my
core subjects to go for a swim, so I | 3:08:13 | 3:08:17 | |
always say I am a great swimmer and
a bit sick! You just missed out | 3:08:17 | 3:08:22 | |
on... -- I am a great swimmer but a
bit thick. I have amazing parent, it | 3:08:22 | 3:08:33 | |
was not easy for them, they worked
so hard so I could do everything I | 3:08:33 | 3:08:36 | |
wanted to do. -- amazing parents. I
am lucky, I am blessed with an | 3:08:36 | 3:08:44 | |
upbeat personality and I have that
naturally. That is not saying it is | 3:08:44 | 3:08:48 | |
not difficult. Early in my career I
did not really have support and it | 3:08:48 | 3:08:55 | |
was a struggle, I would literally
pull up in London in a parking space | 3:08:55 | 3:08:58 | |
and stop a stranger and say I had to
get to a meeting, can you help me | 3:08:58 | 3:09:02 | |
get my scooter out the boot of my
car, can you help me onto the | 3:09:02 | 3:09:06 | |
scooter? I was winning it for a long
time. You can be happy and positive | 3:09:06 | 3:09:10 | |
a lot of the time if you are
naturally like that but there are | 3:09:10 | 3:09:13 | |
times when it gets tough. Oh, sure.
You have a wallow in the car, a | 3:09:13 | 3:09:20 | |
little cry, listen to Kate Bush and
you are over it. You are amazing. | 3:09:20 | 3:09:28 | |
Abed, you mentioned support, when
you were young and struggling with | 3:09:28 | 3:09:31 | |
your stomach, would that have made a
difference? It would have made a | 3:09:31 | 3:09:35 | |
massive difference. The first time I
got supporters when I was 19, I | 3:09:35 | 3:09:39 | |
waited until I was that age. -- when
you were young and struggling with | 3:09:39 | 3:09:46 | |
your stammer, would that have made a
difference? I don't blame the | 3:09:46 | 3:09:51 | |
teachers, but I feel now that kids
are a bit more supported now than | 3:09:51 | 3:09:55 | |
before, but I am sure more can be
done. | 3:09:55 | 3:09:58 | |
For the kids who go to your club, I
don't know what it is called? The | 3:09:58 | 3:10:05 | |
stammer support group. Must be so
inspiring for them to see you, you | 3:10:05 | 3:10:09 | |
are a maths teacher, it is
fantastic. I hope so. Because I can | 3:10:09 | 3:10:16 | |
tell that they are making progress,
they are getting a bit louder now. | 3:10:16 | 3:10:23 | |
It is fine by me as long as they are
confident. I don't want them even to | 3:10:23 | 3:10:29 | |
hide their stammer, stammer
confidently. It is about what they | 3:10:29 | 3:10:34 | |
say and how they say it. This is a
very good point. Laura, so many | 3:10:34 | 3:10:40 | |
people have got in touch this week,
at this school what has been really | 3:10:40 | 3:10:46 | |
striking is celebrating difference.
How important do you think that is, | 3:10:46 | 3:10:51 | |
going forward? I think it is very
important. I don't think there is | 3:10:51 | 3:10:55 | |
anything inherently wrong with being
autistic, it is a difference between | 3:10:55 | 3:10:58 | |
a Mac and a PC or a cat or a dog,
nothing is better, they are is | 3:10:58 | 3:11:11 | |
important we recognise that. There
are things I am able to do that my | 3:11:11 | 3:11:13 | |
neurotypical peers would bowl cut,
there are things I struggle with, | 3:11:13 | 3:11:16 | |
equally, but that is true of
everyone. If we can make it | 3:11:16 | 3:11:18 | |
something every day, we don't think
about in that quite a big way, then | 3:11:18 | 3:11:22 | |
I think the world would be much
better. Richard, any thoughts on | 3:11:22 | 3:11:28 | |
celebrating it? That is what it is
all about. It is great to be special | 3:11:28 | 3:11:32 | |
and different. Everyone is
different. It is important that we | 3:11:32 | 3:11:37 | |
promote that. It is the way forward.
Nikki, it has been an extraordinary | 3:11:37 | 3:11:44 | |
week, we have had so many messages
and people asking questions, we try | 3:11:44 | 3:11:49 | |
to answer some of them. We will stay
with it, how important do you think | 3:11:49 | 3:11:53 | |
it is to celebrate difference look
at it and work our way around it? | 3:11:53 | 3:11:57 | |
This week has been special. In my
job as a disability correspondent, | 3:11:57 | 3:12:03 | |
it is not the first stressed parents
I have spoken to with a child with | 3:12:03 | 3:12:07 | |
special educational needs, autism,
all those disabilities. It has been | 3:12:07 | 3:12:12 | |
so good that the parents that are
fighting for so many things for | 3:12:12 | 3:12:16 | |
their children and young people had
seen themselves reflected and | 3:12:16 | 3:12:19 | |
realise they are not alone and that
it is probably a bit like hitting | 3:12:19 | 3:12:23 | |
your head against a brick wall for
long time, there is no letup, but | 3:12:23 | 3:12:30 | |
there is a certain relief and
knowing you are not alone, going | 3:12:30 | 3:12:33 | |
through it. That is important, it is
important to continue to revisit | 3:12:33 | 3:12:38 | |
its. And the determination and the
pride and the love for their | 3:12:38 | 3:12:44 | |
children has come across incredibly
strongly through the e-mails and | 3:12:44 | 3:12:47 | |
everybody getting in touch. Thank
you all so much. Thank you to | 3:12:47 | 3:12:53 | |
everybody who has watched and got in
touch this week, we have learnt so | 3:12:53 | 3:12:58 | |
much, we will stay with this, we
read all the e-mails and the treats, | 3:12:58 | 3:13:04 | |
we will do that for you -- e-mails
and the tweets. We will possibly all | 3:13:04 | 3:13:08 | |
have to look at issues in the next
few minutes, we have a special way | 3:13:08 | 3:13:13 | |
to end the programme. Here is the
school choir. | 3:13:13 | 3:13:22 | |
