His former National Security
Advisor Michael Flynn | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
admits lying to the FBI,
as US media reports that he's | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
prepared to implicate
the president's son-in-law, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
Jared Kushner. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Good morning, it's Saturday

England face Australia, who they
haven't beaten since 1995, the last | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
time England played in a World Cup
final. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Cyber security experts warn
government departments | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
against using Russian
anti-virus software, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
saying it could be exploited. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
England's untold history: The public

And we'll have your full
weekend weather forecast | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
in about 15 minutes. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
First our main story. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
US media reports say Donald Trump's
former national security adviser, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Michael Flynn, who has admitted
lying to the FBI about his contacts | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
with Russia, is prepared to give
testimony that implicates | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
the President's son-in-law,
Jared Kushner. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
Mr Flynn has agreed to co-operate
with an investigation | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
into Russian meddling in the US
Presidential election. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
It's thought he'll tell
investigators he was taking | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
directions from senior members
of Donald Trump's campaign team. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
The White House says Mr Flynn has
implicated nobody but himself | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
in the investigation. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Our Washington correspondent,
Laura Bicker has more. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
Michael Flynn, a retired three star
general, left the court in | 0:02:08 | 0:02:14 | |
Washington to a familiar chant. Lock
him up. He once encouraged Donald | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
Trump supporters to use a similar
version against rival Hillary | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Clinton. The 58-year-old played a
key party Mr Trump's campaign and | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
often travelled with him. If I did
attempt, a 10th of what she did, I | 0:02:26 | 0:02:33 | |
would be in jail today. She was
reported with the post of national | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
security adviser -- he was. What was
forced to resign after just 23 days | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
when his contacts with Russia to
discuss US actions were disclosed. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
On the 29th of December he spoke to
the Russian Ambassador on the phone | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
in the first of a series of calls.
On the 15th of January Vice | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
President Mike Pence said sanctions
were not discussed in those calls. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Only after the ninth of February,
when a newspaper revealed he did | 0:02:57 | 0:03:03 | |
discuss sanctions, did pressure
increase and Michael Flynn lost his | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
job. As part of his guilty plea,
prosecutors said Mr Flynn is now | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
cooperating with the investigation.
US media claims he will testify that | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
senior members of the Trump team,
including his son-in-law Jared | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
Kushner, encouraged him to make
contact with Russian officials. The | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
White House is now trying to
distance himself with his actions, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
but having reached a plea bargain to
co-operate what else has Mr Flynn | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
told the enquiry and what further
revelations are to come? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:38 | |
In around ten minutes we will get
more on this story and speak to a | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
political analyst. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
All government departments
have been advised by | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
The National Cyber Security Centre
not to use Russian anti-virus | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
software on systems containing
sensitive information. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Kaspersky Lab, which has 400 million
customers world-wide, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
was banned from US
government networks earlier this | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
year but the company denies
links to the Kremlin. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
Our reporter Jon Donnison has more. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:05 | |
Cyber security software like that
provided by this lab requires | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
extensive access to the files on a
computer phone or network to look | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
for viruses. Our mission has always
been to protect... Kaspersky is used | 0:04:13 | 0:04:21 | |
by consumers and businesses as well
as parts of government to protect | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
systems from criminals and hackers.
Now a new warning about Russian | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
anti-virus software, amid fears it
could be used for spying. At | 0:04:29 | 0:04:35 | |
Britain's national-security centre
they say they've not seen actual | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
proof of such espionage, but they've
told government departments not to | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
use Kaspersky for systems containing
sensitive data. This is specifically | 0:04:44 | 0:04:50 | |
about entities that may be of
interest to the Russian government | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
and so for us that's about national
security systems in government of | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
which there are very small number.
Kaspersky has already denied | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
allegations that it has been used
for espionage in America. We don't | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
do anything like that. They are just
speculating about some rumours, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:13 | |
opinions and there is zero hard
data. 400 million people use | 0:05:13 | 0:05:20 | |
Kaspersky products around the world,
but officials say they are not | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
telling the general public to stop
using it. Kaspersky Lab denies any | 0:05:25 | 0:05:31 | |
wrongdoing, but today's warning is
another sign of our growing fears | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
over the risk by Russia. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
Two former police officers
who leaked allegations that | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
pornographic images
had been found on the computer | 0:05:42 | 0:05:52 | |
of the now First Secretary
of State Damian Green | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
were in "flagrant breach"
of their own code of conducthat's | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
according to Dominic Grieve,
the former atorney general. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
Our political correspondent,
Eleanor Garnier, has this analysis. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
When these latest allegations
emerged yesterday, Damian Green | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
repeated that he hadn't downloaded
are looked at pornography on his | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
work computer. We saw allies of
Damian Green rallying behind him and | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
coming to his defence. Even a
cabinet minister, although publicly, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
came forward to defend him. Sources
close to the Brexit secretary David | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
Davis said Mr Davies warned Downing
Street not to sack Damian Green over | 0:06:28 | 0:06:36 | |
this latest allegations. Allies also
tried to shift the focus on to | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
weather any of this information
should have ended up in the public | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
domain anyway. We heard from the
former attorney general Dominic | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
Ring, another Tory MP, saying this
had the smack of the police stake | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
about it. In terms of the eager
picture for Theresa May, she is | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
already lost two Cabinet ministers
in the last two weeks over unrelated | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
and separate matters, but she
certainly won't want to lose another | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
and such a close and important ally.
And of course she's got an extremely | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
busy month ahead with the Brexit
negotiations, so it goes without | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
saying that Theresa May and Downing
Street will certainly not have | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
welcomed this allegations as a
distraction to what is an important | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
month ahead. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:29 | |
White House officials say the White
House will recognise Jerusalem as | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
the state of Israel. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
The status of Jerusalem
is highly contentious, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
with both Israelis and Palestinians
claiming all or part of the city | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
as their capital. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
Critics have warned
that the decision by Donald Trump | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
could jeopardise peace negotiations. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
It is feared there could be hundreds
of job losses are Toys 'R' Us after | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
it said it would close about a
quarter of its UK stores. The move | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
would see the closure of 25 shops as
part of the deal to renegotiate | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
debts with its landlords. It is
thought Christmas trading in gift | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
vouchers will not be affected by the
move. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
People are being asked to nominate
events and people they feel should | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
be nominated as part of a new
national memorial scheme. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
The heritage group
Historic England has already | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
received a wealth of nominations
from battle sites to birthplaces, | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
as David Sillito reports. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
The site of the presentation of
Magna Carta. The place where the | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Pilgrim Fathers settle for America.
And here the memorial to the landing | 0:08:24 | 0:08:32 | |
at Bracks and the glorious
revolution. There are some monuments | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
to great moment in history, at
historic England once more. There | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
are many parks to where people were
born or lived. It now wants | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
suggestions about events and have
already received a -- received a | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
few. We've done our research and
spoken to people across the country | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
and found passionate enthusiasts who
want to see history marked out. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
We've had people wanting to mark out
where the Pilgrim Fathers set out | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
effort to make that more well-known.
We've had people wanting to mark out | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
the birthplace of growing music in
east London, music in Coventry, all | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
sorts of people with different
passions and interests who want to | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
share their knowledge of the history
that happened on their doorstep. It | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
doesn't have to be just the famous
places in the history books, they | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
are looking for sites that capture
the whole of British life. Quite | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
what the memorials will look like a
city at the end decided. The meat -- | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
the immediate job is to find the
people who have the passion to | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
honour the places where history was
made. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Pope Francis is spending his
final day in Bangladesh, | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
after using his highly-anticipated
Asia trip to express support | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
for the Rohingya Muslims. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:37 | |
Yesterday, the Pope met a group
of refugees and referred | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
to them using the word
"Rohingya" for the first time. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:51 | |
Myanmar does not regard them as an
ethnic group. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
Let's return to our top
story this morning. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
Reports from the United States
suggest the President's former | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
national security adviser,
Michael Flynn, who yesterday | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI
about his contacts with Russia, | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
is prepared to testify
against Donald Trump's son-in-law, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
Jared Kushner. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
It's thought Mr Flynn will say that
senior members of the Trump team, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
including Mr Kushner,
directed him to make contact | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
with the Russians. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
Let's speak to Eric Ham,
a political analyst who's been | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
following the story
from Washington DC. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Good to speak to you again. Let's
cut to the chase here. We know that | 0:10:24 | 0:10:30 | |
Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty.
The assumption is he's come to some | 0:10:30 | 0:10:37 | |
kind of deal. The big question is
what is the deal? Well, the deal is | 0:10:37 | 0:10:44 | |
going to include I think all things
related to the campaign and actually | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
there was no one more connect it,
more intertwined, more integral to | 0:10:47 | 0:10:53 | |
the Trump campaign than the former
national security adviser Michael | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Flynn. So what is key about this
deal is it does not go into effect | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
for at least three months, so Bob
Miller is looking to extract | 0:11:02 | 0:11:10 | |
everything Michael Flynn has not
just the campaign itself but on the | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
people involved in the campaign --
Robert Mueller. Typically when you | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
strike a deal like that that Robert
Mueller has just done, he is | 0:11:17 | 0:11:25 | |
considering bigger fish. When you
consider someone like Michael Flynn | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
in the campaign and the
administration, who hire? Are we | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
talking perhaps current senior
adviser and son-in-law Jared | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
Kushner? And quite possibly Donald
Trump. What do you make of the White | 0:11:35 | 0:11:41 | |
House statement that was released
immediately after the announcement | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
that was made, about him admitting
to this offence? The White House | 0:11:44 | 0:11:51 | |
saying very categorically this is
about one man and his actions and | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
has no bearing on anyone else in the
White House? What I say to that is I | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
think it's time for the Trump
administration to get a different | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
playbook. For so long the
conversation has been this is fake | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
news, there's nothing here to see.
But you don't actually... You don't | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
get a guilty plea from the former
national security adviser if there | 0:12:12 | 0:12:21 | |
is no "their" there. And clearly
there is. So now not only is the | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
administration running as fast as it
can from Michael Flynn, but if you | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
read the statement closely you can
see that they've actually considered | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
Michael Flynn to be a member of the
Obama administration and that's so | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
striking because not only did
President Obama fire Michael Flynn | 0:12:38 | 0:12:44 | |
as director of national intelligence
at the Pentagon, but he specifically | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
warns Donald Trump about ringing
Michael Flynn into his | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
administration and as we can see he
disregarded that information. Not | 0:12:51 | 0:13:00 | |
only did President Obama clearly
warn him about Michael Flynn, but | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
Sally Yates, the first high-profile
person fired from this | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
administration and serving as active
attorney general, she warned the | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
administration that Michael Flynn
could be compromised. Fast forward | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
to today and now we have a guilty
plea from one of the highest | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
officials in this administration.
Just help us with one thing. For | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
those of us watching this from a
distance, we often think that | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
commentators have their own
political agenda sometimes about | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
where they sit and what they believe
in. Right now it's one of those | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
moments where some people are
telling us this is the big one. This | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
is the moment when everything
changes and potentially leads | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
directly to the president. And
others are saying, as the White | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
House has said, this is one man who
lied. Well, this is one man who | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
served as the national security
adviser. You can't deny that. This | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
is an individual who had access to
all of the national security | 0:13:54 | 0:14:00 | |
apparatus and the date and not only
that was the year of the president | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
on all matters national security. --
the ear. So he was a high-profile | 0:14:05 | 0:14:11 | |
official not only in a campaign by
tinny administration. For so long | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
this Administration have spoken
about how many of the people who | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
have been targeted at people who
didn't have influenced in the Trump | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
administration, on the campaign,
that simply wasn't the case. Again, | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
this is someone who as a former
general is someone who I guess | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
served at the Pentagon in the
highest echelon of the military or | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
national security -- national
security and military and he served | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
as a senior member of this
administration. Regardless of what | 0:14:40 | 0:14:46 | |
your political party, you can't deny
that and you can't deny the fact | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
that today he is entering a guilty
plea and will expect to be... To | 0:14:52 | 0:14:58 | |
serve time for lying to the FBI.
That's something that has political | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
persuasion and something that the
Trump administration simply can't | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
run away from. And you so much for
your time this morning. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:14 | |
That story playing very much in the
papers this morning. Front page of | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
the FT, they have what Charlie has
been discussing there, Flynn pleads | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
guilty to lying over Russian ties.
It's all so on the front of the | 0:15:24 | 0:15:31 | |
Daily Telegraph. You will see this
picture on many of the front pages | 0:15:31 | 0:15:37 | |
today, Meghan Markle, as she
accompanied Prince Harry to | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
Nottingham yesterday on their first
outing together since their | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
engagement was announced earlier
this week. Also, Charlie, it's that | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
time of year when we start getting
coughs and colds start coming | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
through and I was always told hot
honey and lemon, still do that, but | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
medical advice is telling us to
avoid giving children cough syrup. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
There's lots of cases of
unintentionally overdosing toddlers | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
and causing toxic problems. Hot
honey and lemon is the trick. Now | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
you know! The front page of the Sun,
they are fun with the name. We will | 0:16:11 | 0:16:18 | |
be talking more about that event
yesterday. -- having fun. It was | 0:16:18 | 0:16:26 | |
everyone's first chance to see the
new new royal couple out and about | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
together. Many people were asked
what she said to them, she really | 0:16:30 | 0:16:37 | |
just said hello, I'm Megan. A story
we have been talking about this | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
week, Damian Green, his computer in
his office has been taken a look at. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
There are allegations there's porn
on that computer, which he has | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
denied accessing. Now Theresa May's
team appears split after a Cabinet | 0:16:52 | 0:16:57 | |
minister push for him to be sacked
but equally David Davis, the Brexit | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
secretary, said he would resign if
Mr Green was forced out over claims | 0:17:02 | 0:17:07 | |
made by retired police officers
about that pornography on his | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
computer. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
We will have a full look through the
papers later this morning. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
Here's Sarah Keith-Lucas
with the weather | 0:17:16 | 0:17:17 | |
After a fairly chilly, wintry
feeling weak, temperatures gradually | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
on the rise through the course of
the weekend. Still a chilly start to | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
Saturday with some frost and some
icy patches. Through the day some | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
rain showers down the east coast and
some filtering into north-west | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
England, Wales and the south-west
but many places staying dry with | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
some sunshine with the best further
south and east. More cloud across | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Scotland, the breeze picking up
without breaks of rain here and for | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
most places temperatures five to
eight degrees but on Saturday night | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
and into Sunday that milder air
moves its way in from the | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
north-west. By the time we get to
the early hours of Sunday, most | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
places looking frost so
significantly milder overnight than | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
it has been. Still quite cloudy to
start the day in the south with a | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
bit of rain which should clear away
through the south steadily through | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
the day and it should brighten up.
Rain in the north and east and the | 0:18:09 | 0:18:15 | |
south and west but temperatures in
double figures, something we haven't | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
seen for a while. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:19 | |
Now it's time for this week's
Film Review, with Jane Hill | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
and Mark Kermode. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
Hello and welcome to
The Film Review on BBC News. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:45 | |
To take us through this week's | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
cinema releases as ever is Mark
Kermode. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
So, Mark, what do we have this week? | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
We have the Disaster Artist
which is the story making | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
of the best worst movie ever. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:59 | |
Happy End, the new film
by Michael Hanneke. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
And Wonder, a very touching drama
starring Jacob Tremblay. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
The Disaster Artist. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
Even watching the trailer
many times, you are | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
sitting there like this. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:17 | |
Have you seen The Room? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
You need to explain this. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
It is the dramatised retelling
of the making of the room | 0:19:22 | 0:19:33 | |
which Tommy Wiser made in 2003. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:34 | |
It has spawned a whole cult
following and they come along | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
to enjoy the industry. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
He basically wrote and directed
and starred and financed it. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
It is based on a book by the co-star
in the room who is now played | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
by James Franco's brother Dave. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Essentially Greg is a model
and wannabe actor and you first | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
meet him in a theatre
and he is doing a film | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
and Tommy takes one word | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
from a Streetcar
Named Desire, Stella! | 0:19:54 | 0:20:03 | |
Greg is completely entranced. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
You are so uninhibited. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
How do you do it? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
He just believes in himself. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
Together they go to Los Angeles
and decide they will make it | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
and become stars but Hollywood
rejects them and so Tommy | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
who appears to have no fixed age,
no fixed accent, and untold wealth, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
no one knows what he comes from,
he writes his own movie. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
Here's a clip. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
The Room?
The Room? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:37 | |
Nobody write it yet, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
today you will be the first one. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
You did this. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
You play Mark.
It's a big role. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
It's a huge role.
Are you sure? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
If you don't want to do it, fine. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
I will get Johnny Depp. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
I want the role.
I will take it. | 0:20:54 | 0:21:09 | |
Hollywood rejects us,
we do it on our own. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
Do you have they managed to do this? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
It is no problem. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
You with the going
to make this thing? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
No we are going to make it. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:20 | |
Mark has just like 20 times. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
I have seen that film twice. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
Firstly Tommy is such
a strange character, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
he says he is from New Orleans
but his accent sounds | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
he is from cyberspace. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
It is a film by Tim Burton called
Edward, the reason the film work | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
is you didn't just think
it was a terrible film-maker | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
but you thought he was a visionary
and you believed in the film. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
In the case of this,
Tommy appears to actually believe | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
in the film he is making. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:48 | |
He really thinks he is making
an incredible piece of art | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
and the recently Disaster Artist
works is the film-making is terrible | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
and the endless takes of the same
lines and the awful script and bad | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
directing, although things
are there but it only works | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
because you also believe that
beyond it there is something | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
of pathos, tragedy, something
of the dream about Tommy that | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
makes him acceptable and we see him
behaving appallingly onset | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
of the film doesn't shy away
from the fact that Tom said he did | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
behave really badly. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
Do you need to have seen
the room to get the joke? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
Don't think so. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:30 | |
For a start if you see The Room it
makes no sense anyway | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
and when you see the individual
scenes that are recreating, it makes | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
sense because you understand that
basically Tommy at one point, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
Greg Sestero who plays
descriptive adviser, | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
as he even seen a movie? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
He genuinely has no
idea what to do this. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
I thought it was dark
when it needed to be dark. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
It had a strange dreaming charm
about it that in the end | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
it is a story of Triumph over
adversity by making something | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
that is so catastrophically terrible
that it ends up getting celebrated. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
And it made me live twice
all the way through. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
Well, I am intrigued. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
At the end, is that an ironic title? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:11 | |
It is a Michael Hammock of film. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:21 | |
This is a Michael Haneke film
about a bourgeois family | 0:23:21 | 0:23:29 | |
who behind the facade,
foul lurking secrets. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
Toby Jones is in it. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
As with all his work
it is engrossing and unsettling | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
but there is also a strange sense
of deja vu. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
There is video phone footage that
reminds me of an early film of his. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
There is surveillance footage. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
That is a strange kind of luck can
refer back to a more. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:46 | |
The weird thing about all those
films is that when we first saw them | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
they were original and surprising. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
This isn't. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:52 | |
This is well made. | 0:23:52 | 0:24:01 | |
Haneke knows that to get brilliant
performances and make something | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
feel creepy and strange,
but without telling you what it is. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
It did feel like we were
retreading old ground. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
I think he is a great film-maker
and this is the weird thing, | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
to me this felt an incidental
Haneke film. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
It felt like, OK, there we go. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
We will move on. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
And it like that element. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
I remember when I saw and more,
can't believe he just made that | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
movie because it is so breathtaking
and this isn't. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
What did you make of Wonder? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
I have read such dividing
things about this. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:38 | |
I haven't read other reviews. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:44 | |
I liked it. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
It is adapted from a novel. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
The story is Jacob Tremblay
is a young kid who is really | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
interested in science and space
and has spent most of his childhood | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
being home-schooled because he has
had a series of facial operations | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
that have resulted in a rare
genetic conditions. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
As he goes into that great
he is going to school | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
but the first time. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:09 | |
It is going to school
which is difficult enough. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
Also made more difficult by the fact
that he understands he is different | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
to the people that he has
to interact with and it | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
is about that journey. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
Here is a clip. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:20 | |
I have to stop here because past
this point is a no doubt | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
some, but is not cool. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:29 | |
Technically most dads aren't cool,
neither are these helmets. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:38 | |
Hey, two rules. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:46 | |
First, only raise your hand once
the matter how answers you know | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
except for science, crush them. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Check. | 0:25:53 | 0:26:00 | |
You're going to feel like you're all
alone but | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
You're going to feel like you're all
alone but you're not. Check. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:09 | |
Costumes are for Halloween, prepare
for blast of. -- blastoff. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:18 | |
I love you.
I love you too. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
Have fun.
Bye. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:27 | |
Owen Wilson, Julia Roberts
and Jacob Tremblay. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Lots of laughs in that clip but it
also tugs at the heartstrings. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
It is also more complicated
than it looks like. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
The beginning. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
What happens been ordered
to fractures and you see the story | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
from lots of different characters
point of view, his sister feels | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
like he has been neglected
because all the attention has gone | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
to her brother. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:47 | |
The sister brother no
longer a friend and you | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Benneteau back story. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:51 | |
Even bullies in the film are given
context with a bullying. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
From a start it is a much more
complex narrative than people | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
would give it credit for. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
Also the film made me laugh and cry. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Those are difficult things to do. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
People take them for granted
and think it is very easy to do. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
It is not easy. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:06 | |
It works because the
performances are good. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
The script is well honed. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
It felt to me like a film
that was made with that and care. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
I people who were telling the story
and they really cared | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
about the way the story was told. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
The resentment that the tenant
but it is earned. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
-- there is sentimentality. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:29 | |
I cried a lot and laugh a lot. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
I went in slightly suspicious
because I had seen the trailer | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
and you didn't know it was going
to go but I thought | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
it was a terrific piece of work
and Jacob Tremblay is a really | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
talented young actor. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:42 | |
I thought the director handled it
with exactly the right degree | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
of schmaltz and seriousness. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:46 | |
I laughed and cried. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
It worked. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:48 | |
Best at this week. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:55 | |
Battle of the sexes came out last
week and it is the dramatised | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
story of the tennis match
between Billie Jean King | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
and Bobby Riggs, had a documentary
about this, in 2013. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
Again going in to see
the drama I thought | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
the documentary was so great,
can capture the spirit? | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
They do. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:15 | |
I'm a stone is great,
as Billie Jean King. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
Steve Carell inhabits this clown
male chauvinist buffoon | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
role of Bobby Riggs,
the texture of the film | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
is great and it feels
like it was made in the 1970s. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
It has the LGBT story
at the centre of it. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
Political relevance and personal. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:45 | |
It is funny. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:46 | |
It is a commie Dick drama. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:47 | |
And it is all true. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
Quick thoughts about DVDs. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:52 | |
This was a great indie film. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:53 | |
He is trying to find
his place in the world. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
It did brilliantly with
the are a scream programme, | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
and it found its audience. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:00 | |
It had a low budget. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:01 | |
It had an enormous amount of heart
and it is called my Feral Heart | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
and I defy anybody not to be won
over by it. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
Thank you. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:09 | |
It is a really interesting week. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:10 | |

Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
Stayt. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
Good morning. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:15 | |
Here's a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
Donald Trump's former national
security advisor Michael Flynn | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
is prepared to testify
against the President's | 0:30:22 | 0:30:23 | |
son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
according to US media reports. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:28 | |
It's thought Mr Flynn,
who pleaded guilty to making false | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
statements to the FBI,
will say he was directed to hold | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
discussions with Kremlin officials
by senior members of Trump's | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
campaign team, including Mr Kushner. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
The White House says Mr Flynn has
implicated no-one but himself. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
The UK National Cyber Security
Centre has warned government | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
departments not to use
Russian anti-virus software | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
if their computers contain
sensitive information. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
The Russian company Kaspersky Lab
was banned from US government | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
networks earlier this year,
because of concerns it had ties | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
to intelligence agencies in Moscow. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:02 | |
The company denies having
links to the Kremlin. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:07 | |
Despite its warning,
the National Cyber Security Centre | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
says the general public shouldn't be
concerned about using the software. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
Our guidance is to choose an
anti-virus product that meets your | 0:31:13 | 0:31:19 | |
needs and does well industry
standard tests. We are not saying, | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
and we specifically say in our
guidance on the blog, that we are | 0:31:23 | 0:31:27 | |
not telling people to rip out
Kaspersky willy-nilly because that | 0:31:27 | 0:31:33 | |
makes no sense. This is about
entities that may be of interest to | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
the Russian government, so for us
that's about national security | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
systems in government of which there
are very small number and for | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
example if you have a business
negotiation that the Russian | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
government may be interested in. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:49 | |
Two former police officers
who leaked allegations that | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
pornographic images had been found
on the Tory minister | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
Damian Green's computer
were in "flagrant breach" | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
of their own code of conduct,
according to the former | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
Attorney General Dominic Grieve. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
Mr Green, now First Secretary
of State, repeated his insistence | 0:32:02 | 0:32:05 | |
that he didn't view pornographic
material on the computer. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
The former attorney general said
he found the behaviour | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
of the ex-officers
behaviour troubling. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
White House officials have indicated
that President Trump is likely | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
to announce next week
that the United States | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
will recognise Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:21 | |
The status of Jerusalem
is highly contentious, | 0:32:21 | 0:32:23 | |
with both Israelis and Palestinians
claiming all or part of the city | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
as their capital. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:27 | |
Critics have warned
that the decision by Donald Trump | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
could jeopardise peace negotiations. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:34 | |
It's feared there could be hundreds
of job losses at Toys 'R' Us, | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
after the retailer announced it
would close around a quarter | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
of its UK stores. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:41 | |
The move, which would see
the closure of 25 shops, | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
is part of a deal by the owners
to renegotiate debts | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
with its landlords. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:48 | |
It's thought Christmas trading
and gift vouchers will not be | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
affected by the move. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
The British Red Cross is calling
for rules to be relaxed | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
to automatically allow
Syrian refugee families, | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
being resettled in the UK,
to bring their young, | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
adult children with them. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
Over the past two years,
around 9,000 Syrians have entered | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
the UK under the Vulnerable Person
Resettlement Scheme. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:07 | |
But the Red Cross says refugees
shouldn't have to leave behind | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
family members because they
are over 18-years-old. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:19 | |
Let's be clear. We are talking about
children who are part of the family | 0:33:19 | 0:33:24 | |
unit. People watching this now,
think of your family, the children | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
who still live at home, who may be
away studying. That's what we are | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
talking about. Let's bring those
families back together. Families | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
belong together. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
Pope Francis is spending his
final day in Bangladesh, | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
after using his highly-anticipated
Asia trip to express support | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
for the Rohingya Muslims. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:43 | |
Yesterday, the Pope met a group
of refugees and referred to them | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
using the word "Rohingya"
for the first time. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
He was criticised for not
using the term on his earlier visit | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
to Myanmar, which does not regard
them as an ethnic group. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
A new scheme, which aims
to recognise more places and people | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
with historic importance,
is set to be launched by Historic | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
England. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:02 | |
The heritage body wants people
to suggest sites that deserve to be | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
permanently acknowledged,
but aren't already marked | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
with a plaque. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:08 | |
The campaign will be
piloted over three years. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:15 | |
One other story this morning. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
A huge waterspout has
formed off Italy. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:22 | |
Oh, this is a water spout! | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
It is huge, isn't it? | 0:34:25 | 0:34:26 | |
It was spotted off the coast
of Sanremo, before moving inland | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
as a kind of tornado. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:30 | |
The weather phenomenon caused
significant damage to the city, | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
but luckily no-one was hurt. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:37 | |
It is quite hard to get an idea of
the scale. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
When I thought of a waterspout, I
hadn't heard that was the term. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:45 | |
You were thinking of a teapot? Yes.
So on first glance it looked like | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
the water was coming out of the sea.
Look at the sky, incredible. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
It's like something from another
world. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
And this is obviously what it's like
to be in it, or close to it. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
Scary! It is a big day for sport
Down Under? | 0:35:02 | 0:35:07 | |
Amazing. We will talk about the
Ashes in a moment, which is back on | 0:35:07 | 0:35:12 | |
after the rain in Adelaide. First,
the rugby World Cup. The first time | 0:35:12 | 0:35:18 | |
England are in the final since 1995.
Someone asked me how much England | 0:35:18 | 0:35:23 | |
are the underdogs and it's like a
Chihuahua compared to a great Dane. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:28 | |
7:1 to the bookies.
But Australia can go fast and can | 0:35:28 | 0:35:34 | |
bite ankles.
I know someone who does know how to | 0:35:34 | 0:35:41 | |
beat Australia, the last man to do
it. He is Ryan -- macro tree and he | 0:35:41 | 0:35:50 | |
joins us now. -- Brian Noble. Good
morning! | 0:35:50 | 0:35:57 | |
Good morning. How are you doing? Not
quite a Chihuahua but a Jack | 0:35:57 | 0:36:03 | |
Russell! If the big dog drives do it
it it'll get caught in its throat! | 0:36:03 | 0:36:10 | |
Sometimes being an underdog can be
an advantage if you use it right. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:16 | |
You beat Australia as the code of
great written. How do England do | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
that today? -- coach of Great
Britain. This is a good England | 0:36:19 | 0:36:25 | |
side. They've lost their captain
Sean McLauchlan yesterday, which is | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
a blow, but they are tight group and
they've gotten better and better as | 0:36:28 | 0:36:34 | |
the tournament has gone on. I think
they are better this tournament than | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
people are giving them credit for.
They have to look after the ball. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:42 | |
They may get for opportunities to
score tries and in my mind they have | 0:36:42 | 0:36:46 | |
to execute at least three of those
are caused this Australian team, | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
with people like Slater, Smith and
Cronk, have been together for 15 | 0:36:49 | 0:36:56 | |
years in the Queensland and
Australian side and they haven't | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
been beaten since 2013. But I have
an element of confidence with this | 0:36:58 | 0:37:03 | |
English team and I think they can
get the job done this afternoon. How | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
much have they grown since that
opening game defeat to Australia in | 0:37:07 | 0:37:10 | |
the tournament? My goodness, they've
been sketchy and clunky, are the | 0:37:10 | 0:37:18 | |
words I used. They hadn't stitched
the whole performance together. But | 0:37:18 | 0:37:23 | |
for 70 minutes last week in the
semi-final against Tonga they were | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
fantastic. The last seven minutes
were heart stopping. We don't want | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
any of that. If they can play with
that style, this Australian team | 0:37:31 | 0:37:35 | |
hasn't been under pressure at all
throughout this World Cup and I just | 0:37:35 | 0:37:39 | |
think we need to ask a few questions
of some of their bigger players in | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
relation to whether they can stand
up to the task. But to do that | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
they've got to really control the
ball well and give themselves the | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
best opportunity that they can. It's
Charlie here. When you are clear | 0:37:50 | 0:37:58 | |
favourite, as Australia are, and the
home fans will be bad for this game | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
and expecting a great deal,
sometimes the opposing team can use | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
that sort of psychology, especially
at the beginning of the game. Will | 0:38:05 | 0:38:10 | |
that be crucial, if England can get
a look in early on? I think you've | 0:38:10 | 0:38:15 | |
nailed it. I think the start is very
important for this England team. I | 0:38:15 | 0:38:21 | |
don't think they will come from
behind to beat Australia, they've | 0:38:21 | 0:38:25 | |
got to get their noses in front and
the belief they can get on with the | 0:38:25 | 0:38:30 | |
game. There is a pocket of about
5000 or 6000 English fans here, he | 0:38:30 | 0:38:35 | |
will be very noisy. But I'm with
you. The start is massively | 0:38:35 | 0:38:40 | |
important and if they get a good
start I think we will see more | 0:38:40 | 0:38:44 | |
nervous Australians and they might
make a few more errors than they are | 0:38:44 | 0:38:49 | |
used to. What's the mood like
amongst the English fans and how | 0:38:49 | 0:38:52 | |
much baiting have you had to put up
the last week after the thrashing in | 0:38:52 | 0:38:56 | |
the cricket and all of that pom
dating since that? -- baiting. I'm | 0:38:56 | 0:39:03 | |
sure I'm not the first Englishman on
Australian soil to copper flogging | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
over the years. It's a great rivalry
and a great sporting rivalry between | 0:39:07 | 0:39:12 | |
England and Australia and its good
and -- good humour and banter. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:18 | |
Sometimes it boils over in cricket
matches and test matches. But that | 0:39:18 | 0:39:23 | |
is all about the psychology of
sport. The friendship amongst the | 0:39:23 | 0:39:32 | |
fans here is superb and while
Australia is a long way away there | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
are many connections between English
and Australian fans that they can | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
still share a beer after the game.
Wonderful. Totally agree and thanks | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
for keeping fee dog theme going.
Jack Russell. It could be a border | 0:39:42 | 0:39:49 | |
Collie by the time kick-off comes
around! The buildup is from 8:30am, | 0:39:49 | 0:39:55 | |
as well as Radio 5 Live. It's about
building the confidence. The -- no | 0:39:55 | 0:40:05 | |
longer a Chihuahua, a bulldog. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:13 | |
We've had two rain interruptions
on day one of the second Ashes Test, | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
but play is under way
again in Adelaide. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
And England have made
the breakthrough, after some | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
confusion between the
Australian openers. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
They tried to take advantage
of a miss-field from England, | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
but it backfired. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:26 | |
Cameron Bankcroft run
out by Chris Woakes. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
Australia now 36-1. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
That was extraordinary! | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
Pub landlords have been toasting
England's World Cup draw, | 0:40:33 | 0:40:39 | |
because all of their games in Russia
will be played at 7pm in the evening | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
or Sunday afternoon,
so people don't have | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
to take time off work. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:46 | |
Diego Maradona was the man
who pulled England's name out | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
of the pot in the Kremlin. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
Gareth Southgate's side
are in a group with Belgium, | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
who are difficult opponents,
Tunisia and Panama, but he says | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
a good draw on paper
doesn't mean a jot, | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
given England's recent World Cup
record. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
We've been good at writing teams off
and then getting beaten, so we have | 0:41:01 | 0:41:07 | |
to make sure that we are prepared
for all of those games. It's | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |
fantastically exciting to be here
for the draw with every other coat. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:15 | |
It's been a great experience and
really looking forward to getting on | 0:41:15 | 0:41:19 | |
with it. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:19 | |
The big game in the Premier League
today is the evening kick-off | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
between Arsenal and
Manchester United. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
Celtic play Motherwell in Scotland
and the FA Cup continues. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
Last night, non-league AFC Fylde
earned a replay with Wigan Athletic | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
of League One. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:30 | |
Danny Rowe's penalty
giving them a 1-1 draw. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
So both sides will be
in Monday's third-round draw. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:39 | |
Newcastle snatched a very late
victory at Northampton, | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
in rugby union's Premiership. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
After a scrappy try from the final
play of the game, Tarney Takula | 0:41:44 | 0:41:48 | |
kicked the crucial conversion
to give them victory by 24-22. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:52 | |
And Glasgow Warriors'
great run continues. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:56 | |
They made it ten wins
from ten in the Pro 14, | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
with a bonus point victory
over Cardiff Blues. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
40-16 the score. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:05 | |
Tiger Woods said he's
proved his latest back operation | 0:42:05 | 0:42:11 | |
has been a success,
after he shot another under-par | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
round at the Hero World
Challenge in the Bahamas. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:24 | |
It's his first tournament for almost
a year, but he's now seven under | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
at the half-way stage,
tied for fifth place. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:30 | |
Charley Hoffman is the leader. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:31 | |
England's Tommy Fleetwood
who was leading is three shots | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
back. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:34 | |
Still in contention. It's been a
great year for Tommy Fleetwood. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
He is not quite my mate. I've played
with him once. But I like him! I | 0:42:37 | 0:42:42 | |
think he is a lovely guy.
You got a special mention for | 0:42:42 | 0:42:46 | |
Maradona's yellow bowtie.
Because all of the ex-players are | 0:42:46 | 0:42:56 | |
all very smart. And he had a black
shirt and a yellow bow tie. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
It was wonderful entertainment. I
thought Gary Lineker was very funny | 0:43:00 | 0:43:04 | |
when he mentioned Maradona's hands.
That's right. Then he had a go at | 0:43:04 | 0:43:12 | |
Italy for not qualifying. By the
way, no challenge this week because | 0:43:12 | 0:43:15 | |
of all of the rugby building up to
the final. So in the New Year I will | 0:43:15 | 0:43:21 | |
become a professional ninja.
Should we be worried? About you on | 0:43:21 | 0:43:26 | |
our? Because you are professional
ninja? | 0:43:26 | 0:43:28 | |
Are not professional. I didn't make
the grade. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
Thanks. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:39 | |
This is Breakfast. Donald Trump's
former security adviser says Michael | 0:43:39 | 0:43:45 | |
Flynn could testify against his
son-in-law of contacts with Russia. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:49 | |
Government departments are being
advised not to use anti-viral | 0:43:49 | 0:43:52 | |
software from a Russian company
because of concerns it has links to | 0:43:52 | 0:43:57 | |
the Kremlin. | 0:43:57 | 0:44:07 | |
Meteorological winter has started
with a bit of an upturn in | 0:44:07 | 0:44:11 | |
temperatures. Things are going to be
gradually turning a bit milder | 0:44:11 | 0:44:14 | |
through the course of the weekend.
Some sunny spells on offer and also | 0:44:14 | 0:44:19 | |
a few rain showers, not everyone
seeing them and we will have lost | 0:44:19 | 0:44:23 | |
the snow showers earlier in the
week. As we start Saturday morning | 0:44:23 | 0:44:26 | |
you can see where the showers will
be falling for parts of west | 0:44:26 | 0:44:30 | |
Scotland, Wales and south-west
England, one or two lingering around | 0:44:30 | 0:44:33 | |
the east coast but many other places
dry and sunny and cloud increasing | 0:44:33 | 0:44:37 | |
with windy and wet conditions for
the north of Scotland. A few showers | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
dotted around across Wales, down to
Cornwall, further east across | 0:44:41 | 0:44:46 | |
England and more sunshine for the
likes of Kent, Norfolk, temperatures | 0:44:46 | 0:44:50 | |
only five or six. The odd shower for
the West Midlands but much of | 0:44:50 | 0:44:55 | |
northern England having a sunny and
decent afternoon, milder than it has | 0:44:55 | 0:44:58 | |
been here. Northern Ireland, central
and Northern Scotland turning quite | 0:44:58 | 0:45:02 | |
breezy and cloudy with the arrival
of rain later, southern Scotland | 0:45:02 | 0:45:06 | |
should stay dry and bright for a
good part of the date. Through | 0:45:06 | 0:45:10 | |
Saturday evening, windy in the
north, a band of cloud with patchy | 0:45:10 | 0:45:13 | |
outbreaks sinking south. That will
introduce some milder air gradually. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:18 | |
By the time we get to the early
hours of Sunday, frost free largely, | 0:45:18 | 0:45:24 | |
the mildest night in some time we've
seen. Through the day on Sunday we | 0:45:24 | 0:45:28 | |
start with quite a lot of cloud in
the south courtesy of this weather | 0:45:28 | 0:45:32 | |
front, which will be edging further
south through the day, then brighter | 0:45:32 | 0:45:36 | |
conditions as high pressure tries to
topple in from the Atlantic and as | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
it does so it will dry in that
milder air so cold air squeezed away | 0:45:40 | 0:45:44 | |
to the near continent. Milder air
coming in from a more north-westerly | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
direction gradually through the
course of Sunday. Cloud and | 0:45:48 | 0:45:53 | |
outbreaks of pantry raider clear
link so slowly to the south on | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
Sunday and then dry conditions,
sunny spells especially for parts of | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
northern England and Scotland, a bit
more cloud for western Scotland and | 0:46:00 | 0:46:05 | |
Northern Ireland. Temperatures back
into double figures, ten or 11 in | 0:46:05 | 0:46:11 | |
the south later on Sunday. The
fairly mild and settled spell | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
continues on Monday and onto
Tuesday, but it looks like things | 0:46:15 | 0:46:19 | |
will be an settled and then colder
later in the week. That's it for | 0:46:19 | 0:46:23 | |
now, have a good weekend. | 0:46:23 | 0:46:25 | |
Now it's time for Click
with Spencer Kelly and this week | 0:46:25 | 0:46:28 | |
they're investigation how technology
is being developed to support people | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
with disabilities. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:50 | |
Over the past few years,
some of the most fascinating | 0:47:10 | 0:47:13 | |
technologies we've featured
on the show have been the ones that | 0:47:13 | 0:47:16 | |
help people with disabilities. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:17 | |
As the world's first
bionic games proved, | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
the possibilities now emerging
offer so much potential, | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
whether it be in mobility,
sight or hearing, we've seen how | 0:47:21 | 0:47:24 | |
life-changing technology
is tantalisingly close. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:25 | |
But how long before it really starts
to impact people's lives for real? | 0:47:25 | 0:47:29 | |
This weekend sees the international
day of people with disabilities | 0:47:29 | 0:47:31 | |
and that's a great chance for us
to devote a whole programme | 0:47:31 | 0:47:35 | |
to the latest tech
developments in the area. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
Now, in the UK, around 5%
of all rail journeys are made | 0:47:37 | 0:47:40 | |
by those with a disability
or a long-term illness. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:42 | |
A quarter have reported problems
with using public transport. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:45 | |
The rail company London Midland
is hoping to improve accessibility | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
for its disabled passengers
with a new app, Passenger Assist, | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
and we asked Emily Yates
to try it out for us. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
I'm Emily Yates and I'm
just planning my train | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
journey to Birmingham. | 0:47:56 | 0:47:57 | |
It requires a fair bit
of advanced booking. | 0:47:57 | 0:47:59 | |
I'm confident travelling by myself,
but I'm not a huge fan of the train, | 0:47:59 | 0:48:03 | |
which is actually why I'm
making this journey. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:05 | |
I've heard about an app
in development called | 0:48:05 | 0:48:07 | |
Passenger Assist that
could be a game-changer | 0:48:07 | 0:48:09 | |
for disabled travellers. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:10 | |
Thank you! | 0:48:10 | 0:48:15 | |
I think anybody watching this who's
disabled will probably agree with me | 0:48:15 | 0:48:19 | |
that you can have some pretty
horrific travel journeys | 0:48:19 | 0:48:21 | |
if you're disabled. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:25 | |
I've been left on the train before,
I've booked assistance and somebody | 0:48:25 | 0:48:29 | |
has said, "Yeah, we're going to come
and meet you," and I've been left | 0:48:29 | 0:48:32 | |
on the train unable to get off
and I've had to go four or five | 0:48:32 | 0:48:36 | |
stops down the line to be able
to come back again so I'm really | 0:48:36 | 0:48:40 | |
excited to see what this
app has to offer. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:43 | |
Thank you! | 0:48:43 | 0:48:49 | |
I've got this new app
which is currently in development | 0:48:49 | 0:48:54 | |
and I'm just about to
fill in my own profile. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:57 | |
What's brilliant about this app
is it asks things like, | 0:48:57 | 0:48:59 | |
"Do you need room for a guide dog,
do you have a hearing impairment, | 0:48:59 | 0:49:03 | |
do you need a ramp, do you need
help buying a ticket?" | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
So, Roxanne, I've added my profile
details and now I've just | 0:49:06 | 0:49:09 | |
planned a journey. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:14 | |
This is obviously in development
but this is how it would work. | 0:49:14 | 0:49:17 | |
I've put in my journey
and now it should come up | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
on your phone any minute. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:21 | |
Here you are. | 0:49:21 | 0:49:22 | |
You've got my picture
and everything so you know exactly | 0:49:22 | 0:49:25 | |
what I'll look like. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:26 | |
I know what you look like,
know what to expect, | 0:49:26 | 0:49:28 | |
I press "I'm Here To Help." | 0:49:28 | 0:49:30 | |
Brilliant. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |
I can send you a message saying I'm
here, my name is Roxanne. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:36 | |
OK. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:41 | |
Back on the train for me
and now I have this. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:45 | |
Passenger Assist is being developed
by start-up Tranreport under | 0:49:45 | 0:49:56 | |
the guidance of
London Midland's lab. | 0:49:56 | 0:49:57 | |
We've brought a staff phone
on the train too so we can see how | 0:49:57 | 0:50:01 | |
the app works for them. | 0:50:01 | 0:50:03 | |
So right now the phone is tracking
both the staff member | 0:50:03 | 0:50:06 | |
and the passenger. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:06 | |
We're obviously in the same place
so you can see the two dots | 0:50:06 | 0:50:10 | |
are quite close together. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:11 | |
They're using the technology such
as Bluetooth beacons, | 0:50:11 | 0:50:13 | |
Wi-Fi, 4G, GPS, we can
use multiple tools. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:16 | |
You know exactly what
carriage I'm in even. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
Yes, down to the carriage,
we can pinpoint less than one metre | 0:50:18 | 0:50:21 | |
to your location and find out
which carriage, which train | 0:50:21 | 0:50:24 | |
and the direction of travel
you're going in as well. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:26 | |
And it's not just about the app. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:30 | |
Transreport is also making trackable
wristbands and these key fobs, | 0:50:30 | 0:50:33 | |
they'll be available for those
unable to use phones as easily. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:36 | |
Let's face it, in a world
where we can now track our pizza | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
delivery by the minute,
having to book train assistance 24 | 0:50:39 | 0:50:42 | |
hours in advance seems
a little old school, | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
and this way staff will have
information at their fingertips too. | 0:50:44 | 0:51:00 | |
Transreport hope to roll out the app
across the London Midland service | 0:51:00 | 0:51:04 | |
early next year and the plan
is for the entire UK rail network | 0:51:04 | 0:51:07 | |
to be able to access
it by June, 2018. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
If there's one thing disabled
travellers need that the current | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
system doesn't provide
its the reassurance that someone | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
will be there to help and not leave
them stranded when getting | 0:51:15 | 0:51:18 | |
on or off the train. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:21 | |
AccessNow really began
with my own reality. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:39 | |
Someone using a wheelchair to get
around, I'm consistently frustrated | 0:51:39 | 0:51:41 | |
when I show up at places and I don't
know if they're accessible or not | 0:51:41 | 0:51:45 | |
until I get there. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:47 | |
Countless times I show up
and there are steps or other | 0:51:47 | 0:51:50 | |
barriers that prevent me from doing
the things that I want. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:53 | |
And so I was really motivated to try
and solve this problem and the way | 0:51:53 | 0:51:57 | |
that we've gone about doing
that is by creating a mobile app | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
that can simply allow people,
who've experienced accessibility | 0:52:00 | 0:52:02 | |
needs, to share information
about what is accessible | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
on their own communities
and around the world. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:19 | |
It starts by selecting a place,
then rating that place as accessible | 0:52:19 | 0:52:22 | |
or partially accessible. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:23 | |
Patio access only or not accessible. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
You can go one step further
and add a description. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
So you can say things like,
"I showed up at this place, | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
the customer service was fantastic." | 0:52:31 | 0:52:32 | |
So this cafe looks like
it's not accessible. | 0:52:32 | 0:52:51 | |
There's two steps
here at the entrance. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:53 | |
But when I look at my app,
I can see there's an alternative | 0:52:53 | 0:52:56 | |
entrance through the building here,
that will let me into the cafe. | 0:52:56 | 0:52:59 | |
So let's check it out. | 0:52:59 | 0:53:01 | |
I think for me the main magic,
the most exciting part | 0:53:01 | 0:53:04 | |
about AccessNow, is that
the information is all crowd sourced | 0:53:04 | 0:53:07 | |
from people who have
experienced accessibility needs | 0:53:07 | 0:53:08 | |
in their own life, or are just
motivated to get involved | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
and share information. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:12 | |
We started in Toronto,
with a couple hundred pins, | 0:53:12 | 0:53:15 | |
and now we've reached over 20,000
pins throughout the world. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:17 | |
But we really want to make
this a global movement. | 0:53:17 | 0:53:20 | |
There are many times where people
who have mobility needs, | 0:53:20 | 0:53:23 | |
they're isolated in many ways
and it's simply because, | 0:53:23 | 0:53:25 | |
you know, from the way I see it,
it's not people who are disabled | 0:53:25 | 0:53:29 | |
but it's our environments
that are disabling. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:43 | |
So if we can remove the barriers
that restrict people from engaging | 0:53:43 | 0:53:47 | |
with their communities,
with their workplaces, | 0:53:47 | 0:53:48 | |
with their lifestyles,
I think we can come to a much more | 0:53:48 | 0:53:52 | |
inclusive world for everyone. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:53 | |
I've come to Dorset Orthopaedic,
a private company that fits amputees | 0:53:53 | 0:53:56 | |
with prosthetic legs,
from running blades | 0:53:56 | 0:53:57 | |
to hyperrealistic looking limbs. | 0:53:57 | 0:53:58 | |
One sport that's always been very
hard for me is snowboarding, | 0:53:58 | 0:54:01 | |
because my normal feet are designed
specifically for walking. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:04 | |
But here, they've got some feet that
could make that easier. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:10 | |
The requirements of a foot are quite
different with skiing | 0:54:10 | 0:54:13 | |
compared to walking. | 0:54:13 | 0:54:14 | |
With normal walking,
you need a foot that has a fairly | 0:54:14 | 0:54:17 | |
small range of movement that
gives you energy back, | 0:54:17 | 0:54:19 | |
so as you roll over the foot you get
some push off at the end | 0:54:19 | 0:54:23 | |
to help your walking. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
With skiing you need more movement
in the foot to compensate | 0:54:25 | 0:54:27 | |
for the uneven surface and you also
need some shock absorption, | 0:54:27 | 0:54:31 | |
so when you go over a bump
or you land on the ski you need some | 0:54:31 | 0:54:35 | |
of that shock taken out
and that's what this does. | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
While I'm left to my own devices,
Kevin agrees to fit my legs | 0:54:38 | 0:54:42 | |
with some of these feet
so I can give them a go. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:45 | |
This requires a lot of honing
and alignment to make sure I'm not | 0:54:45 | 0:54:49 | |
pushed too far
forwards or backwards. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:50 | |
Ta-da!
My legs! | 0:54:50 | 0:54:51 | |
So I'm quite intrigued as to how
these are going to feel. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
I actually have no idea. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:56 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:54:56 | 0:55:01 | |
If you push your weight forwards,
you should be able to feel | 0:55:01 | 0:55:04 | |
the movement in the ankle. | 0:55:04 | 0:55:06 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:55:06 | 0:55:06 | |
Oh, yeah, there! | 0:55:06 | 0:55:07 | |
That sensation I've not
felt in the ten years | 0:55:07 | 0:55:09 | |
since being an amputee. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:11 | |
These feet work by putting air
into an adjustable cylinder, | 0:55:11 | 0:55:13 | |
which controls the amount
of resistance in the foot. | 0:55:13 | 0:55:16 | |
More air and more resistance. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:17 | |
As well as giving this movement,
shock absorption in the foot means | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
that going over rocks
or bumps is easier. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:23 | |
But they're not cheap. | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
With the price of £2,500 each,
it means only some people can get | 0:55:25 | 0:55:29 | |
access to them. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:29 | |
It's clear that they're
not for walking. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:31 | |
They're very, very rigid,
very square and very hard. | 0:55:31 | 0:55:34 | |
But if I let my mind go and imagine
myself snowboarding, | 0:55:34 | 0:55:37 | |
which I've done badly in the past,
I can feel that and they move | 0:55:37 | 0:55:40 | |
and that's weird, because I have not
felt my feet move in that way | 0:55:40 | 0:55:44 | |
for ten years. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:45 | |
There's only one thing left to do
and it's try the feet out | 0:55:45 | 0:55:49 | |
on some proper snow. | 0:55:49 | 0:56:11 | |
I've come to an indoor slope,
but I've got to admit I'm | 0:56:11 | 0:56:14 | |
feeling very nervous. | 0:56:14 | 0:56:15 | |
This is Emma Gillespie,
a prosthetist who's agreed to come | 0:56:15 | 0:56:18 | |
with me to fit the feet
and help me try them out. | 0:56:18 | 0:56:21 | |
So you've boarded on these before. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:22 | |
Yeah.
And how was that? | 0:56:22 | 0:56:24 | |
Hard. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:24 | |
But you did it.
Yeah. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:26 | |
So, one leg. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:26 | |
This is what you don't see
about being an amputee. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:29 | |
When I've snowboarded previously
on my normal walking feet, | 0:56:29 | 0:56:32 | |
it's been really difficult. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:32 | |
But these offer much more
and the way they're set up offers | 0:56:32 | 0:56:36 | |
a natural bend in my knees,
a stance that's almost impossible | 0:56:36 | 0:56:39 | |
on my usual legs. | 0:56:39 | 0:56:40 | |
OK, here we go.
Oh, she's going! | 0:56:40 | 0:56:42 | |
Try and think about
your posture a bit. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:44 | |
And a turn! | 0:56:44 | 0:56:45 | |
Woohoo! | 0:56:45 | 0:56:56 | |
OK, so it's been a while since
I boarded and expecting | 0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | |
an instant result is probably asking
a too much, but the best thing | 0:57:07 | 0:57:13 | |
for it is to keep throwing
myself down this slope | 0:57:13 | 0:57:15 | |
and see what happens. | 0:57:15 | 0:57:16 | |
Despite the technology of these
feet, there's only so much they can | 0:57:16 | 0:57:20 | |
do when it comes to
hitting the slopes. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:22 | |
The real work is definitely
still coming from the person. | 0:57:22 | 0:57:25 | |
And if you're not very good,
they're not going to stop | 0:57:25 | 0:57:28 | |
you from falling. | 0:57:28 | 0:57:28 | |
LAUGHS | 0:57:28 | 0:57:34 | |
I'm soaking wet. | 0:57:34 | 0:57:35 | |
That last fall has drenched me. | 0:57:35 | 0:57:39 | |
But it's amazing when you merge
technology and disability. | 0:57:39 | 0:57:43 | |
It's about giving people
independence and the feeling | 0:57:43 | 0:57:45 | |
that they can try things
that they perhaps thought weren't | 0:57:45 | 0:57:47 | |
there for them. | 0:57:47 | 0:57:48 | |
So it's fun, but now I want these
feet and they're expensive. | 0:57:48 | 0:57:50 | |

Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | 0:59:38 | 0:59:41 | |
Stayt. | 0:59:41 | 0:59:44 | |
The investigation into Russian
meddling in the US election closes | 0:59:44 | 0:59:47 | |
in on President Trump's
inner circle. | 0:59:47 | 0:59:49 | |
His former National Security Advisor
Michael Flynn admits lying | 0:59:49 | 0:59:51 | |
to the FBI, as US media reports that
he's prepared to implicate | 0:59:51 | 0:59:54 | |
the president's son-in-law,
Jared Kushner. | 0:59:54 | 0:59:57 | |

weekend weather forecast | 1:01:11 | 1:01:13 | |
in about 15 minutes. | 1:01:13 | 1:01:14 | |
Good morning.
First our main story. | 1:01:14 | 1:01:16 | |
US media reports say Donald Trump's
former national security adviser | 1:01:16 | 1:01:18 | |
Michael Flynn, who has admitted
lying to the FBI about his contacts | 1:01:18 | 1:01:22 | |
with Russia, is prepared to give
testimony that implicates | 1:01:22 | 1:01:24 | |
the President's son-in-law,
Jared Kushner. | 1:01:24 | 1:01:26 | |
Mr Flynn has agreed to co-operate
with an investigation | 1:01:26 | 1:01:28 | |
into Russian meddling in the US
Presidential election. | 1:01:28 | 1:01:31 | |
It's thought he'll tell
investigators he was taking | 1:01:31 | 1:01:34 | |
directions from senior members
of Donald Trump's campaign team. | 1:01:34 | 1:01:38 | |
The White House says Mr Flynn has
implicated no-one but himself | 1:01:38 | 1:01:41 | |
in the investigation. | 1:01:41 | 1:01:42 | |
Our Washington correspondent
Laura Bicker has more. | 1:01:42 | 1:01:46 | |
Michael Flynn, a retired three star
general, left the court | 1:01:49 | 1:01:51 | |
in Washington to a familiar chant. | 1:01:51 | 1:01:54 | |
"Lock him up." | 1:01:54 | 1:01:58 | |
He'd once encouraged Donald Trump
supporters to use a similar | 1:01:58 | 1:02:01 | |
version against rival
Hillary Clinton. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:04 | |
The 58-year-old played a key part
in Mr Trump's campaign and often | 1:02:04 | 1:02:07 | |
travelled with him. | 1:02:07 | 1:02:09 | |
If I did a tenth -
a tenth of what she did, | 1:02:09 | 1:02:12 | |
I would be in jail today. | 1:02:12 | 1:02:15 | |
He was rewarded with the post
of national security adviser, | 1:02:15 | 1:02:18 | |
but was forced to resign after just
23 days when his contacts | 1:02:18 | 1:02:22 | |
with Russia to discuss US
sanctions were disclosed. | 1:02:22 | 1:02:29 | |
On the 29th of December,
Michael Flynn spoke | 1:02:29 | 1:02:31 | |
to the Russian Ambassador
on the phone in the first | 1:02:31 | 1:02:34 | |
of a series of calls. | 1:02:34 | 1:02:35 | |
On the 15th of January,
Vice President Mike Pence said | 1:02:35 | 1:02:38 | |
that sanctions were not
discussed in those calls. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:40 | |
Only after the 9th of February,
when a newspaper revealed he did | 1:02:40 | 1:02:43 | |
discuss sanctions, did pressure
increase and Michael Flynn | 1:02:43 | 1:02:45 | |
lost his job. | 1:02:45 | 1:02:50 | |
As part of his guilty plea,
prosecutors said Mr Flynn is now | 1:02:50 | 1:02:54 | |
cooperating with the investigation. | 1:02:54 | 1:02:55 | |
US media claims he will testify that
senior members of the Trump team, | 1:02:55 | 1:03:00 | |
including Mr Trump's
son-in-law Jared Kushner, | 1:03:00 | 1:03:02 | |
encouraged Flynn to make contact
with Russian officials. | 1:03:02 | 1:03:06 | |
The White House is now trying
to distance himself from Flynn's | 1:03:06 | 1:03:12 | |
actions, and the lies he told
to the FBI, but having reached | 1:03:12 | 1:03:15 | |
a plea bargain to co-operate, | 1:03:15 | 1:03:16 | |
what else has Mr Flynn told
the enquiry and what further | 1:03:16 | 1:03:19 | |
revelations are to come? | 1:03:19 | 1:03:20 | |
All government departments
have been advised by | 1:03:20 | 1:03:22 | |
The National Cyber Security Centre
not to use Russian anti-virus | 1:03:22 | 1:03:25 | |
software on systems containing
sensitive information. | 1:03:25 | 1:03:28 | |
Kaspersky Lab, which has
400 million customers | 1:03:28 | 1:03:30 | |
world-wide, was banned
from US government networks | 1:03:30 | 1:03:32 | |
earlier this year. | 1:03:32 | 1:03:33 | |
The company denies any
links to the Kremlin. | 1:03:33 | 1:03:35 | |
Our reporter, Jon
Donnison, has more. | 1:03:35 | 1:03:41 | |
Cyber security software like that
provided by Kaspersky Lab requires | 1:03:41 | 1:03:45 | |
extensive access to the files
on a computer phone or network | 1:03:45 | 1:03:48 | |
to look for viruses. | 1:03:48 | 1:03:51 | |
Our mission has always
been to protect... | 1:03:51 | 1:03:57 | |
Kaspersky is used by consumers
and businesses as well as some parts | 1:03:57 | 1:04:01 | |
of government to protect systems
from criminals and hackers. | 1:04:01 | 1:04:03 | |
But now a new warning about Russian
anti-virus software, | 1:04:03 | 1:04:05 | |
amid fears it could
be used for spying. | 1:04:05 | 1:04:13 | |
At Britain's National
Cyber Security Centre, | 1:04:13 | 1:04:17 | |
they say they've not seen actual
proof of such espionage, | 1:04:17 | 1:04:19 | |
but they've told government
departments not to | 1:04:19 | 1:04:21 | |
use Kaspersky for systems
containing sensitive data. | 1:04:21 | 1:04:23 | |
This is specifically about entities
that may be of interest | 1:04:23 | 1:04:27 | |
to the Russian government
and so for us that's about national | 1:04:27 | 1:04:34 | |
security systems in government,
of which there are a very small | 1:04:34 | 1:04:37 | |
number. | 1:04:37 | 1:04:39 | |
Kaspersky Lab has already denied
allegations that it's been used | 1:04:39 | 1:04:42 | |
for espionage in America. | 1:04:42 | 1:04:43 | |
We don't do anything wrong. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:45 | |
They are just speculating
about some rumours, | 1:04:45 | 1:04:49 | |
opinions and there
is zero hard data. | 1:04:49 | 1:04:54 | |
400 million people use Kaspersky
products around the world, | 1:04:54 | 1:04:59 | |
but officials say they're not
telling the general public to stop | 1:04:59 | 1:05:02 | |
using it. | 1:05:02 | 1:05:03 | |
Kaspersky Lab denies any wrongdoing,
but today's warning is another sign | 1:05:03 | 1:05:12 | |
about growing fears over
the risk posed by Russia. | 1:05:12 | 1:05:15 | |
The conduct of two
former police officers, | 1:05:15 | 1:05:18 | |
who leaked allegations that
pornographic images had been found | 1:05:18 | 1:05:20 | |
on the computer of the now
First Secretary of State | 1:05:20 | 1:05:24 | |
Damian Green, have been criticised
by the former Attorney General, | 1:05:24 | 1:05:27 | |
Dominic Grieve. | 1:05:27 | 1:05:27 | |
Mr Green has repeated his
insistence that he didn't | 1:05:27 | 1:05:29 | |
view the material. | 1:05:29 | 1:05:30 | |
Our political correspondent,
Tom Barton, joins us now | 1:05:30 | 1:05:33 | |
from our London newsroom. | 1:05:33 | 1:05:35 | |
Good morning. There are reports on
the front pages that the Cabinet is | 1:05:35 | 1:05:42 | |
split over this. What exactly has
Dominic grieve taken issue with? | 1:05:42 | 1:05:51 | |
This all dates back to those further
allegations that were made yesterday | 1:05:51 | 1:05:56 | |
by a second Met police officer
around allegations that pornography | 1:05:56 | 1:05:59 | |
was found on Damian Green's
parliamentary computer, after a raid | 1:05:59 | 1:06:04 | |
in 2008. MPs have been rallying
around him. David Davis has warned | 1:06:04 | 1:06:11 | |
Downing Street not to sack him over
these claims, while the former | 1:06:11 | 1:06:15 | |
attorney general Dominic Grieve has
been questioning the conduct of | 1:06:15 | 1:06:19 | |
those officers involved. They choose
to put material that an ordinary | 1:06:19 | 1:06:24 | |
citizen would be prohibited from
acquiring under data protection | 1:06:24 | 1:06:27 | |
rules into the public domain on
their own judgement. There is a way | 1:06:27 | 1:06:33 | |
of dealing with that. If you think
something is relevant you do it by | 1:06:33 | 1:06:37 | |
proper official means. You do not go
freelancing, as this officers have | 1:06:37 | 1:06:42 | |
done, and it has the smack of the
police state about it. Damian Green | 1:06:42 | 1:06:48 | |
is Theresa May's closest ally, the
second most important person around | 1:06:48 | 1:06:53 | |
the Cabinet table, and this row
matters because it puts his word | 1:06:53 | 1:06:57 | |
against that of two former police
officers. A senior government | 1:06:57 | 1:07:01 | |
official is looking into these
allegations, as well as separate | 1:07:01 | 1:07:04 | |
allegations of inappropriate
behaviour towards a Conservative | 1:07:04 | 1:07:07 | |
activist. Those allegations are also
denied by Damian Green and her | 1:07:07 | 1:07:13 | |
report could well be on the desk of
the Prime Minister within days. We | 1:07:13 | 1:07:17 | |
will keep across it, as will you,
I'm sure. Thank you. | 1:07:17 | 1:07:26 | |
Pope Francis is Bennet is final day
in Bangladesh, after rallying | 1:07:26 | 1:07:30 | |
support for the Rohingya Muslims --
is spending. | 1:07:30 | 1:07:35 | |
He used the word Rohingya for the
first time yesterday. Let's cross to | 1:07:35 | 1:07:43 | |
our correspondent. There's been so
much attention on the words the pope | 1:07:43 | 1:07:46 | |
has or hasn't used. Ring us up to
date. That's right. Yesterday he | 1:07:46 | 1:07:51 | |
sent out a very strong message about
the Rohingya a crisis. He met with a | 1:07:51 | 1:07:56 | |
group of Rohingya refugees here in
Dhaka. About 16 of them. He touched | 1:07:56 | 1:08:02 | |
their hands. A little girl, an
orphan, was brought in front of him | 1:08:02 | 1:08:08 | |
and he placed his hand on her head.
He asked the Rohingyas for | 1:08:08 | 1:08:15 | |
forgiveness for the injustices of
the world. He asked how people | 1:08:15 | 1:08:19 | |
fleeing the Rakhine state identify
themselves. And it is also a word | 1:08:19 | 1:08:25 | |
Myanmar doesn't recognise. He says
he and being in Bangladesh could | 1:08:25 | 1:08:30 | |
upset the Myanmar government and
that's perhaps why he didn't say it | 1:08:30 | 1:08:33 | |
while he was in Myanmar. He faced
criticism for not sending a strong | 1:08:33 | 1:08:37 | |
message while he was in that country
and when he came to Bangladesh | 1:08:37 | 1:08:40 | |
everybody was waiting and listening
to every speech he made, to see if | 1:08:40 | 1:08:44 | |
he would send out a stronger
message. He seems to have done so | 1:08:44 | 1:08:47 | |
yesterday. Today he visited a church
in Dhaka and a cemetery. He will | 1:08:47 | 1:08:54 | |
also meet some students and then he
will be leaving this country. Thanks | 1:08:54 | 1:08:57 | |
for the moment. | 1:08:57 | 1:08:58 | |
White House officials have indicated
that President Trump is likely | 1:08:58 | 1:09:01 | |
to announce next week
that the United States | 1:09:01 | 1:09:03 | |
will recognise Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel. | 1:09:03 | 1:09:05 | |
The status of Jerusalem
is highly contentious, | 1:09:05 | 1:09:07 | |
with both Israelis and Palestinians
claiming all or part of the city | 1:09:07 | 1:09:10 | |
as their capital. | 1:09:10 | 1:09:11 | |
Critics have warned
that the decision by Donald Trump | 1:09:11 | 1:09:13 | |
could jeopardise peace negotiations. | 1:09:13 | 1:09:16 | |
It's feared there could be hundreds
of job losses at Toys R Us, | 1:09:16 | 1:09:19 | |
after the retailer announced it
would close around a quarter | 1:09:19 | 1:09:22 | |
of its UK stores. | 1:09:22 | 1:09:23 | |
The move, which would see
the closure of 25 shops, | 1:09:23 | 1:09:26 | |
is part of a deal by the owners
to renegotiate debts | 1:09:26 | 1:09:29 | |
with its landlords. | 1:09:29 | 1:09:30 | |
It's thought Christmas trading
and gift vouchers will not be | 1:09:30 | 1:09:33 | |
affected by the move. | 1:09:33 | 1:09:36 | |
People are being asked to nominate
events and people they feel should | 1:09:36 | 1:09:39 | |
be commemorated as part
of a new national memorial scheme. | 1:09:39 | 1:09:45 | |
The heritage group Historic England
has already received a wealth | 1:09:45 | 1:09:48 | |
of nominations from battle
sites to birthplaces, | 1:09:48 | 1:09:50 | |
as David Sillito reports. | 1:09:50 | 1:09:53 | |
The site of the presentation
of Magna Carta. | 1:09:53 | 1:09:56 | |
The place where the Pilgrim Fathers
set off for America. | 1:09:56 | 1:10:01 | |
And here, the memorial
to the landing at Brixham | 1:10:01 | 1:10:04 | |
of the Glorious Revolution. | 1:10:04 | 1:10:07 | |
There are some monuments
to great moments in history, | 1:10:07 | 1:10:09 | |
but Historic England wants more. | 1:10:09 | 1:10:11 | |
There are many plaques
to where people were born or lived. | 1:10:11 | 1:10:15 | |
It now wants suggestions
about events and have already | 1:10:15 | 1:10:17 | |
received a few. | 1:10:17 | 1:10:19 | |
We've done our research and spoken
to people across the country | 1:10:19 | 1:10:23 | |
and we've found really passionate
enthusiasts who want to see | 1:10:23 | 1:10:29 | |
unknown
histories marked out. | 1:10:29 | 1:10:30 | |
We've had people wanting to mark out
where the Pilgrim Fathers set out | 1:10:30 | 1:10:35 | |
to make that more well-known. | 1:10:35 | 1:10:36 | |
We've had people wanting to mark out
the birthplace of grime music | 1:10:36 | 1:10:40 | |
in east London, music in Coventry,
all sorts of people with different | 1:10:40 | 1:10:43 | |
passions and interests
who want to share their | 1:10:43 | 1:10:45 | |
knowledge of the history that
happened on their doorstep. | 1:10:45 | 1:10:47 | |
So it doesn't have to be just
the famous places in the history | 1:10:47 | 1:10:51 | |
books, they are looking for sites
that capture the whole | 1:10:51 | 1:10:53 | |
of British life. | 1:10:53 | 1:10:55 | |
Quite what the memorials will look
like hasn't yet been decided. | 1:10:55 | 1:10:58 | |
The immediate job is to find
the people who have a passion | 1:10:58 | 1:11:01 | |
to honour the places
where history was made. | 1:11:01 | 1:11:04 | |
Let's return to our top
story this morning. | 1:11:04 | 1:11:06 | |
Reports from the United States
suggest the President's former | 1:11:06 | 1:11:09 | |
national security adviser
Michael Flynn, who yesterday | 1:11:09 | 1:11:11 | |
pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI
about his contacts with Russia, | 1:11:11 | 1:11:14 | |
is prepared to testify
against Donald Trump's son-in-law, | 1:11:14 | 1:11:16 | |
Jared Kushner. | 1:11:16 | 1:11:25 | |
Mr Flynn is the most senior member
of the Trump administration to face | 1:11:25 | 1:11:28 | |
charges in the ongoing investigation
into Russian meddling | 1:11:28 | 1:11:31 | |
during the American election. | 1:11:31 | 1:11:33 | |
Let's speak to Dr Leslie Vinjamuri,
who's a US analyst at the foreign | 1:11:33 | 1:11:36 | |
affairs think tank Chatham House. | 1:11:36 | 1:11:40 | |
Thank you very much for joining us
this morning. What you make of this, | 1:11:40 | 1:11:44 | |
in terms where this takes trust, the
reputation of the Trump advice | 1:11:44 | 1:11:53 | |
committee, so to speak. What is this
moving us towards? This is very | 1:11:53 | 1:11:58 | |
significant. This is the first
indictments towards an individual | 1:11:58 | 1:12:01 | |
who was actually in the Trump White
House. The others were people | 1:12:01 | 1:12:04 | |
involved in the campaign didn't
actually get in the White House. | 1:12:04 | 1:12:09 | |
Michael Flynn is a senior person,
the first national security adviser. | 1:12:09 | 1:12:13 | |
The shortest lived national security
adviser. He didn't last long because | 1:12:13 | 1:12:18 | |
of this conversation with the
ambassador from Russia, which he | 1:12:18 | 1:12:22 | |
lied about. At what the Vidic at
about this is that it's a short | 1:12:22 | 1:12:26 | |
charge, a single charge. -- what is
significant about this. In the | 1:12:26 | 1:12:31 | |
agreed statement of the fax between
the US government and Michael Flynn, | 1:12:31 | 1:12:36 | |
Michael Flynn says that he
communicated with senior members of | 1:12:36 | 1:12:39 | |
Trump's transition team before he
established contact with the Russian | 1:12:39 | 1:12:43 | |
Ambassador and he fed back to them.
So now the question is who he spoke | 1:12:43 | 1:12:49 | |
to, what they agreed and why was the
transition, why was Trump so | 1:12:49 | 1:12:56 | |
concerned, to try and persuade the
Russians not to respond to the | 1:12:56 | 1:13:02 | |
sanctions that President Obama had
issued in response to the report | 1:13:02 | 1:13:06 | |
from the intelligence agency, saying
that Russia had launched this | 1:13:06 | 1:13:09 | |
disinformation campaign, trying to
undermine your selection? Remember | 1:13:09 | 1:13:15 | |
there was a bipartisan consensus in
Washington really to take a hard | 1:13:15 | 1:13:20 | |
line on Russia for this question of
interfering in the election, so to | 1:13:20 | 1:13:24 | |
kind of approach the ambassador,
it's not clear why, there are a lot | 1:13:24 | 1:13:30 | |
of questions about how far this
goes. And off course we are very | 1:13:30 | 1:13:33 | |
interested and asking questions.
You've been talking to people in the | 1:13:33 | 1:13:37 | |
US. There is a very divided opinion
when it comes to President Trump. | 1:13:37 | 1:13:43 | |
What are they saying about what this
investigation means? I think | 1:13:43 | 1:13:46 | |
people... You know, some people
might if you look at it at first | 1:13:46 | 1:13:52 | |
glance say the violation right now
is something called the Logan Act. | 1:13:52 | 1:13:58 | |
That as a member of the transition
team you don't have the authority to | 1:13:58 | 1:14:03 | |
speak to a foreign official. Not
something that is taken very | 1:14:03 | 1:14:06 | |
seriously. But I think most people
see that there is a broader question | 1:14:06 | 1:14:12 | |
about why this communication was
going on, how far up it went and | 1:14:12 | 1:14:15 | |
what it had to do, if anything, with
this broader question of Russia's | 1:14:15 | 1:14:20 | |
interference in the campaign. And
right now what people are suggesting | 1:14:20 | 1:14:26 | |
is that it seems to be a few people
have said it is Jared Kushner, who | 1:14:26 | 1:14:31 | |
Michael Flynn was communicating
with, the president's son-in-law. | 1:14:31 | 1:14:36 | |
America is divided, but remember
that President Trump right now has | 1:14:36 | 1:14:40 | |
very low approval ratings. He is
down to 38%. We saw about 20 minutes | 1:14:40 | 1:14:45 | |
ago that the Senate has passed the
tax bill, so that could actually | 1:14:45 | 1:14:51 | |
change his approval. It's very
interesting timing right now. The | 1:14:51 | 1:14:55 | |
critique of this president has been
that he hasn't gotten any major | 1:14:55 | 1:14:58 | |
legislation through. That's just
changed. Sorry, you will have to | 1:14:58 | 1:15:04 | |
briefly explain this tax bill. The
tax bill has been tax cuts, | 1:15:04 | 1:15:08 | |
especially corporate tax cuts, have
been very high on this | 1:15:08 | 1:15:12 | |
administration's agenda and it's
been very hard to get any | 1:15:12 | 1:15:15 | |
legislation through. It hadn't
looked as recently as a week ago | 1:15:15 | 1:15:19 | |
that this would be necessarily
getting through the Senate and it | 1:15:19 | 1:15:22 | |
has a very major move... Sorry? So
he is getting stuff done in terms of | 1:15:22 | 1:15:33 | |
this tax bill. This is the first one
he has pushed through, so to speak. | 1:15:33 | 1:15:37 | |
But still there are questions about
the son-in-law. If the president's | 1:15:37 | 1:15:42 | |
son-in-law is being implicated, this
is speculation, how does that affect | 1:15:42 | 1:15:46 | |
him? | 1:15:46 | 1:15:51 | |
When does that lead to him? What we
know now, there have been some | 1:15:51 | 1:15:55 | |
people saying this will wrap up
soon, this clearly isn't going to | 1:15:55 | 1:15:58 | |
wrap up soon, it's now taken on an
entirely different level and scale. | 1:15:58 | 1:16:03 | |
Remember, Flynn is now cooperating
and if it is the President's | 1:16:03 | 1:16:09 | |
son-in-law and other senior members
of the transition team who are in | 1:16:09 | 1:16:12 | |
the administration, possibly in the
current administration, Flynn of | 1:16:12 | 1:16:16 | |
course is out... What does that lead
to in terms of the broader question | 1:16:16 | 1:16:22 | |
of Russia's interference and the
Trump administration's complicity? | 1:16:22 | 1:16:26 | |
These are the questions that are
clearly going to be things Robert | 1:16:26 | 1:16:30 | |
Mueller is pushing for, he is a very
assured investigator and this | 1:16:30 | 1:16:35 | |
investigation has tremendous
momentum and it's very grave... | 1:16:35 | 1:16:39 | |
There's nothing insignificant about
this charge and the fact that the | 1:16:39 | 1:16:45 | |
former National Security Adviser has
confessed to lying to the FBI, but | 1:16:45 | 1:16:50 | |
more significantly that he is
cooperating with a very significant | 1:16:50 | 1:16:56 | |
investigation that is really moving
right into the heart of the | 1:16:56 | 1:17:00 | |
President's inner circle. Good for
you to explain that to us and give | 1:17:00 | 1:17:04 | |
us your views, doctor Leslie
Vinjamuri, associate fellow at | 1:17:04 | 1:17:08 | |
Chatham House, thank you very much.
Thank you. | 1:17:08 | 1:17:13 | |
Let's look ahead to the weekend
weather with Darren. Good morning. | 1:17:13 | 1:17:17 | |
Good morning. A different look to
the weather this weekend, couldn't | 1:17:18 | 1:17:22 | |
be more different to what we've seen
over the past week when we had the | 1:17:22 | 1:17:26 | |
cold northerly winds, sunshine and
wintry showers. This weekend the | 1:17:26 | 1:17:30 | |
wind is coming from the Atlantic and
slowly but surely temperatures will | 1:17:30 | 1:17:33 | |
be rising as it turns milder. Lots
of cloud around this weekend and it | 1:17:33 | 1:17:38 | |
will be thick enough to give us wind
and drizzle -- rain and drizzle now | 1:17:38 | 1:17:42 | |
and again. A different look, this is
the morning into the afternoon, | 1:17:42 | 1:17:46 | |
turning Dreier in East Anglia and
the south east. Not much sunshine | 1:17:46 | 1:17:51 | |
and some rain coming into Northern
Scotland into the afternoon and hear | 1:17:51 | 1:17:55 | |
the winds will be stronger. For
many, like winds, and still some | 1:17:55 | 1:17:59 | |
cold air in the south-east and East
Anglia, temperatures at the moment | 1:17:59 | 1:18:03 | |
not far from freezing and only
rising to five or six. Otherwise | 1:18:03 | 1:18:07 | |
five or six. Some sunshine in
north-east England for a while in | 1:18:07 | 1:18:14 | |
south-eastern Scotland, there's the
rain coming into northern Scotland, | 1:18:14 | 1:18:18 | |
wettest across the Highlands. That's
a weak weather front that will go | 1:18:18 | 1:18:22 | |
south overnight. You can see the
ragged rain moving southwards away | 1:18:22 | 1:18:27 | |
from Scotland and into Northern
Ireland and northern England and | 1:18:27 | 1:18:29 | |
eventually down towards Wales and
the Midlands and in this zone where | 1:18:29 | 1:18:33 | |
we have the cloud and rain, it will
be mild, but the cloud will break up | 1:18:33 | 1:18:37 | |
in Scotland after the rain moves
through so it could be a bit chilly | 1:18:37 | 1:18:42 | |
first thing here, otherwise pretty
mild. The really cold air is either | 1:18:42 | 1:18:45 | |
out in the North Sea all on the
continent and we're getting milder | 1:18:45 | 1:18:50 | |
air coming in on top of an area of
high pressure -- or on the | 1:18:50 | 1:18:54 | |
continent. That will bring drizzly
rain to Northern Ireland and western | 1:18:54 | 1:18:57 | |
Scotland through the day but ahead
of its some sunshine across | 1:18:57 | 1:19:01 | |
Scotland, brighter skies and
sunshine across northern England. Is | 1:19:01 | 1:19:14 | |
those temperatures rising even
across the south-east, could be up | 1:19:14 | 1:19:16 | |
to around ten or so. This is Monday,
it looks really dull, lots of cloud | 1:19:16 | 1:19:22 | |
again. A little sunshine here and
there in more sheltered eastern | 1:19:22 | 1:19:25 | |
areas but on the whole, cloudy with
light winds, quiet for the start of | 1:19:25 | 1:19:30 | |
the week and those temperatures on
the mild side, nine or ten. A quiet | 1:19:30 | 1:19:35 | |
start to next week, a lot of mild,
cloudy weather and the middle part | 1:19:35 | 1:19:39 | |
of the week looks like it could get
very wet and that will signal a | 1:19:39 | 1:19:43 | |
change after that. By the end of the
week we might see those cold | 1:19:43 | 1:19:48 | |
northerly winds returning an some
sunshine and eventually some wintry | 1:19:48 | 1:19:51 | |
showers. That's it, back to you two.
I can't help myself, I like to read | 1:19:51 | 1:19:57 | |
into what our team is wearing in the
morning, I notice you're tied. I | 1:19:57 | 1:20:03 | |
haven't got glasses on so that's OK
-- trousers -- try. Rainbows, is | 1:20:03 | 1:20:09 | |
there a clue in that one? It was
very early this morning as you know | 1:20:09 | 1:20:14 | |
and this is the first thing that I
found. No judgement, you look very | 1:20:14 | 1:20:20 | |
smart! If it was hinting towards
rainbows. No, it's not. I would make | 1:20:20 | 1:20:27 | |
the point Darren said he has he has
trousers on but we don't know. You | 1:20:27 | 1:20:31 | |
have ruined the illusion. See you
later, Darren! | 1:20:31 | 1:20:36 | |
The Christmas period can be
stressful and overbearing | 1:20:36 | 1:20:38 | |
at the best of times,
but it can be even more challenging | 1:20:38 | 1:20:41 | |
if you are a parent
of a child with autism. | 1:20:41 | 1:20:44 | |
The change of routine,
noise and unfamiliarity can | 1:20:44 | 1:20:46 | |
all combine to make the festive
season particularly difficult. | 1:20:46 | 1:20:48 | |
So Breakfast's John Maguire has been
to visit a Santa's grotto | 1:20:49 | 1:20:52 | |
with a difference, one
that's been adapted | 1:20:52 | 1:20:53 | |
to become autism-friendly. | 1:20:53 | 1:20:58 | |
to become autism-friendly. | 1:20:58 | 1:21:01 | |
As the song goes, it's the most
wonderful time of the year, but not | 1:21:01 | 1:21:05 | |
for everyone. I used to hate
Christmas because you never got it, | 1:21:05 | 1:21:11 | |
you didn't want presence and I would
just wait until New Year's Day. You | 1:21:11 | 1:21:15 | |
missed out on everything. Julie's
13-year-old sun Joe has autism and | 1:21:15 | 1:21:22 | |
in the past Christmas has been
difficult for the whole family. We | 1:21:22 | 1:21:26 | |
couldn't wrap the presence for a few
years because he couldn't bear the | 1:21:26 | 1:21:30 | |
noise of them opening, the autism
affects the senses so you have to | 1:21:30 | 1:21:36 | |
reduce everything, so you can't have
a big celebration, everything is | 1:21:36 | 1:21:41 | |
kept on the down low, but as he's
got older it's expanded each year | 1:21:41 | 1:21:45 | |
and there's been an extra element
each Christmas, this year the | 1:21:45 | 1:21:48 | |
presence will be wrapped so an
looking forward to that. Julie | 1:21:48 | 1:21:52 | |
approached her local garden centre
in Liverpool and suggested this, | 1:21:52 | 1:21:57 | |
silent Santa night, designed for
children with autism. The music is | 1:21:57 | 1:22:01 | |
wild, there are no views and Julie's
trained Father Christmas and her | 1:22:01 | 1:22:07 | |
pals what to say and crucially what
not to say to the children. Have you | 1:22:07 | 1:22:11 | |
been a good boy, that could really
stress someone out and little tips | 1:22:11 | 1:22:16 | |
where they can say, just try to be
the best you can be, or have you | 1:22:16 | 1:22:21 | |
been the best you can be, rather
than challenging the child. I had it | 1:22:21 | 1:22:27 | |
turned off. Really quiet I like it.
A few weeks ago we met Oscar and | 1:22:27 | 1:22:32 | |
this family who told us about the
difficulties they face when going | 1:22:32 | 1:22:36 | |
shopping. Well, tonight a very
excited and a very happy is doing | 1:22:36 | 1:22:41 | |
this two something this parents say
would usually be just too much for | 1:22:41 | 1:22:45 | |
him. I'll give it to the elves and
we'll see what we can do. Are you | 1:22:45 | 1:22:56 | |
real? Of course, feel my beard. A
really nice experience, we've | 1:22:56 | 1:23:02 | |
normally avoided Santa grottos at
Christmas time because of Oscar's | 1:23:02 | 1:23:06 | |
condition. It can be the lights, it
can be sensory overload, but coming | 1:23:06 | 1:23:11 | |
here he's really excited and he's
able to engage and understand the | 1:23:11 | 1:23:15 | |
whole process, which is not what we
would experience in general. What | 1:23:15 | 1:23:19 | |
else did he tell you, what's he
going to do with your list? Take it | 1:23:19 | 1:23:23 | |
to the elves stop white to the North
Pole? Yes, at the North Pole. It's a | 1:23:23 | 1:23:29 | |
long way! It is a long way. It's
hoped these nights will become | 1:23:29 | 1:23:35 | |
commonplace, making Christmas as
special for as many people as | 1:23:35 | 1:23:38 | |
possible. Bye-bye, John. Bye-bye,
Oscar. | 1:23:38 | 1:23:50 | |
We will talk more about that later
in the programme. | 1:23:50 | 1:23:53 | |
Meghan Markle has had a taste
of her future royal life, | 1:23:53 | 1:23:56 | |
joining her fiance Prince Harry
on their first official public | 1:23:56 | 1:23:58 | |
engagement in Nottingham yesterday. | 1:23:58 | 1:24:00 | |
Crowds lined the streets to see
the couple who were visiting | 1:24:00 | 1:24:02 | |
a charity fair hosted
by the Terrence Higgins Trust | 1:24:02 | 1:24:05 | |
to mark World Aids Day. | 1:24:05 | 1:24:06 | |
The Royal commentator, James Brooks,
was at the event along | 1:24:06 | 1:24:09 | |
with Lizzie Jordan,
who's an HIV campaigner. | 1:24:09 | 1:24:11 | |
We can talk to them now. | 1:24:11 | 1:24:19 | |
We will talk more about the campaign
in a moment and the reason they were | 1:24:19 | 1:24:23 | |
there but you met both of them
yesterday? Yes, with my son. | 1:24:23 | 1:24:30 | |
Described the scene, many people
were seeing the pictures from | 1:24:30 | 1:24:33 | |
outdoors when they first arrived
meeting and chatting with people and | 1:24:33 | 1:24:37 | |
you are inside, they walk in, what
was it like? A fantastic room of | 1:24:37 | 1:24:42 | |
different organisations and
representatives, all there with | 1:24:42 | 1:24:45 | |
something to tell them. Around 50
people with some fantastic African | 1:24:45 | 1:24:50 | |
music playing, a great atmosphere
and vibe in the room. Of course they | 1:24:50 | 1:24:55 | |
entered and there was the buzzer,
everyone was so excited -- buzz. We | 1:24:55 | 1:25:02 | |
got some good time to talk to them
about what we had to speak about. It | 1:25:02 | 1:25:07 | |
was a phenomenal opportunity. So
what did they say? They recognise | 1:25:07 | 1:25:10 | |
me. Meghan had seen the documentary
Harry and myself were in earlier in | 1:25:10 | 1:25:18 | |
the summer. Had you met Harry
before? No, we were just in the same | 1:25:18 | 1:25:24 | |
programme. She said, we watched the
programme, I remember your story | 1:25:24 | 1:25:28 | |
from the documentary. After that it
was a bit of a blurred because the | 1:25:28 | 1:25:34 | |
fact she recognised me was just
amazing. -- lower. In itself is one | 1:25:34 | 1:25:40 | |
thing but it's a very important
thing, those little moments when you | 1:25:40 | 1:25:44 | |
think someone does care, they've
gone to the trouble and she is new | 1:25:44 | 1:25:48 | |
to this game that she's involved in
now. And they chose to do it for a | 1:25:48 | 1:25:53 | |
highly stigmatised condition on
world AIDS day for their first | 1:25:53 | 1:25:58 | |
public engagement as the new royal
couple. There was the Terence | 1:25:58 | 1:26:07 | |
Higgins Trust and other
organisations, we couldn't have | 1:26:07 | 1:26:10 | |
asked for a better day and the
spotlight that was shone on these | 1:26:10 | 1:26:13 | |
organisations and what they are
doing. As down-to-earth as the image | 1:26:13 | 1:26:17 | |
of this couple is at the moment,
this was still very thought about in | 1:26:17 | 1:26:22 | |
terms of what... As their first
engagement, considering Princess | 1:26:22 | 1:26:27 | |
Diana's legacy with HIV, the Terence
Higgins Trust as well, this was | 1:26:27 | 1:26:34 | |
planned quite carefully, wasn't it?
It was. You see from the way Harry | 1:26:34 | 1:26:40 | |
is and what he's involved in now, it
is a reflection of carrying on that | 1:26:40 | 1:26:46 | |
legacy that he wants to carry on
from his mother, but also I think | 1:26:46 | 1:26:51 | |
you've got him wanting to bring
Meghan into the fold and get hurt | 1:26:51 | 1:26:57 | |
involved in the interests they do
share. What do you make of what | 1:26:57 | 1:27:03 | |
Lizzie said, she said Meghan tapped
Harry on the arm and said, we | 1:27:03 | 1:27:08 | |
watched this. In itself that is
quite casual, she is bringing a | 1:27:08 | 1:27:14 | |
different tone, that that's what
people are fascinated by. It will be | 1:27:14 | 1:27:19 | |
interesting over the next few years.
The next few months we will see more | 1:27:19 | 1:27:23 | |
of these visits during the lead up
to the wedding. But what is | 1:27:23 | 1:27:28 | |
interesting is that protocol
yesterday almost went out of the | 1:27:28 | 1:27:31 | |
window. Especially down in the city
centre, you saw Harry taking a back | 1:27:31 | 1:27:37 | |
step almost, Meghan was being
introduced to dignitaries before | 1:27:37 | 1:27:41 | |
him, she was walking in front of him
but he didn't seem to mind. That was | 1:27:41 | 1:27:46 | |
really nice, you're seeing a more
informal partnership and in that | 1:27:46 | 1:27:50 | |
interview they had when they
announced their engagement, they | 1:27:50 | 1:27:54 | |
really talked about being a team and
I think that's what's really | 1:27:54 | 1:27:57 | |
interesting now, they're almost
coming together. You saw a lot of | 1:27:57 | 1:28:02 | |
arm patting and kind of rubbing each
other's backs, it's quite tactile I | 1:28:02 | 1:28:06 | |
think was the word that was used.
That's what's going to be really | 1:28:06 | 1:28:10 | |
interesting over the next few months
to see if that carries on or whether | 1:28:10 | 1:28:14 | |
that takes a back step. Lizzie,
you're in a good place to give us | 1:28:14 | 1:28:18 | |
some kind of sense of that, you were
at the event with your son, who is | 1:28:18 | 1:28:26 | |
12. People are saying this couple is
a couple for a different generation, | 1:28:26 | 1:28:29 | |
they are closer to your son's age
than certainly I am and for a lot of | 1:28:29 | 1:28:33 | |
people, do you get a different feel
about them and the way they're going | 1:28:33 | 1:28:37 | |
to operate? It was very informal,
very relaxed and very casual and | 1:28:37 | 1:28:40 | |
they were very tactile with each
other and they were holding hands | 1:28:40 | 1:28:44 | |
the whole time. Talking about HIV,
they are bringing the focus to that, | 1:28:44 | 1:28:49 | |
to a new generation which don't
necessarily remember Diana and all | 1:28:49 | 1:28:53 | |
of her work and actually by bringing
that spotlight to a younger | 1:28:53 | 1:28:57 | |
generation, we couldn't ask for a
better couple to do that for us. | 1:28:57 | 1:29:01 | |
We're going to talk again with you
in about an hour and a half or so, | 1:29:01 | 1:29:06 | |
it will be interesting to see what
our viewers make of it. Harry and | 1:29:06 | 1:29:12 | |
Meghan, are they changing the face
of the Royal family and bringing | 1:29:12 | 1:29:15 | |
more interest to the Royal family?
Get in touch if you think so. | 1:29:15 | 1:29:19 | |
Still to come: It's been an
incredible run so far for England at | 1:29:19 | 1:29:24 | |
the Rugby League World Cup, will it
end in gory? England international | 1:29:24 | 1:29:28 | |
Sam Tomkins will be here looking
ahead to the final which takes place | 1:29:28 | 1:29:32 | |
later this morning.
Stay with us, headlines coming up. | 1:29:32 | 1:29:38 | |
See you soon. | 1:29:38 | 1:29:39 | |
Good morning. | 1:30:10 | 1:30:15 | |
Here's a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News: | 1:30:15 | 1:30:18 | |
Donald Trump's former national
security advisor Michael Flynn | 1:30:18 | 1:30:21 | |
is prepared to testify
against the President's | 1:30:21 | 1:30:23 | |
son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
according to US media reports. | 1:30:23 | 1:30:28 | |
It's thought Mr Flynn,
who pleaded guilty to making false | 1:30:28 | 1:30:31 | |
statements to the FBI,
will say he was directed to hold | 1:30:31 | 1:30:33 | |
discussions with Kremlin officials
by senior members of Trump's | 1:30:33 | 1:30:36 | |
campaign team, including Mr Kushner. | 1:30:36 | 1:30:41 | |
The White House says Mr Flynn has
implicated no-one but himself. | 1:30:41 | 1:30:45 | |
The UK National Cyber Security
Centre has warned government | 1:30:45 | 1:30:48 | |
departments not to use
Russian anti-virus software | 1:30:48 | 1:30:52 | |
if their computers contain

The Russian company Kaspersky Lab
was banned from US government | 1:30:54 | 1:30:57 | |
networks earlier this year,
because of concerns it had ties | 1:30:57 | 1:30:59 | |
to intelligence agencies in Moscow. | 1:30:59 | 1:31:07 | |
The company denies having
links to the Kremlin. | 1:31:07 | 1:31:09 | |
Despite its warning,
the National Cyber Security Centre | 1:31:09 | 1:31:12 | |
says the general public shouldn't be
concerned about using the software. | 1:31:12 | 1:31:14 | |
Our guidance is to choose
an anti-virus product that | 1:31:14 | 1:31:17 | |
meets your needs and does well
in industry standard tests. | 1:31:17 | 1:31:20 | |
We're not saying, and we
specifically say this | 1:31:20 | 1:31:22 | |
in our guidance on the blog,
that we are not telling people | 1:31:22 | 1:31:27 | |
to rip out Kaspersky
willy-nilly because that | 1:31:27 | 1:31:29 | |
makes no sense. | 1:31:29 | 1:31:39 | |
This is about entities that may be
of interest to the Russian | 1:31:39 | 1:31:42 | |
government, so for us that's
about national security | 1:31:42 | 1:31:44 | |
systems in government,
of which there are very small | 1:31:44 | 1:31:47 | |
number, and for example
if you have a business negotiation | 1:31:47 | 1:31:50 | |
that the Russian government
may be interested in. | 1:31:50 | 1:31:52 | |
Two former police officers
who leaked allegations that | 1:31:52 | 1:31:54 | |
pornographic images had been found
on the Tory minister | 1:31:54 | 1:31:58 | |
Damian Green's computer
were in "flagrant breach" | 1:31:58 | 1:32:00 | |
of their own code of conduct,
according to the former | 1:32:00 | 1:32:03 | |
Attorney General Dominic Grieve. | 1:32:03 | 1:32:04 | |
Mr Green, now First Secretary
of State, repeated his insistence | 1:32:04 | 1:32:07 | |
that he didn't view pornographic
material on the computer. | 1:32:07 | 1:32:09 | |
The former attorney general said
he found the behaviour | 1:32:09 | 1:32:11 | |
of the ex-officers
behaviour troubling. | 1:32:11 | 1:32:13 | |
They choose to put material that an
ordinary citizen would he prohibited | 1:32:13 | 1:32:16 | |
from acquiring under data protection
laws, into the public domain, and | 1:32:16 | 1:32:20 | |
their own judgement. There's a way
of dealing with that. If you think | 1:32:20 | 1:32:25 | |
is relevant you do it by proper
official means. You do not go | 1:32:25 | 1:32:30 | |
freelancing as this two officers
have done and it has the smack of | 1:32:30 | 1:32:34 | |
the police state about it. | 1:32:34 | 1:32:35 | |
Pope Francis is spending his
final day in Bangladesh, | 1:32:35 | 1:32:38 | |
after using his highly-anticipated
Asia trip to express support | 1:32:38 | 1:32:40 | |
for the Rohingya Muslims. | 1:32:40 | 1:32:42 | |
Yesterday, the Pope met a group
of refugees and referred to them | 1:32:42 | 1:32:45 | |
using the word "Rohingya"
for the first time. | 1:32:45 | 1:32:47 | |
He was criticised for not
using the term on his earlier visit | 1:32:47 | 1:32:50 | |
to Myanmar, which does not regard
them as an ethnic group. | 1:32:50 | 1:32:57 | |
White House officials have indicated
that President Trump is likely | 1:32:57 | 1:33:00 | |
to announce next week
that the United States | 1:33:00 | 1:33:02 | |
will recognise Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel. | 1:33:02 | 1:33:04 | |
The status of Jerusalem
is highly contentious, | 1:33:04 | 1:33:06 | |
with both Israelis and Palestinians
claiming all or part of the city | 1:33:06 | 1:33:09 | |
as their capital. | 1:33:09 | 1:33:18 | |
It's feared there could be hundreds
of job losses at Toys 'R' Us, | 1:33:18 | 1:33:21 | |
after the retailer announced it
would close around a quarter | 1:33:21 | 1:33:24 | |
of its UK stores. | 1:33:24 | 1:33:27 | |
The move, which would see
the closure of 25 shops, | 1:33:27 | 1:33:30 | |
is part of a deal by the owners
to renegotiate debts | 1:33:30 | 1:33:33 | |
with its landlords. | 1:33:33 | 1:33:34 | |
It's thought Christmas trading
and gift vouchers will not be | 1:33:34 | 1:33:36 | |
affected by the move. | 1:33:36 | 1:33:37 | |
Refugee families who are being
resettled in the UK from Syria, | 1:33:37 | 1:33:41 | |
should not be forced to split up -
and be allowed to bring children, | 1:33:41 | 1:33:44 | |
up to the age of 25, with them. | 1:33:44 | 1:33:48 | |
The British Red Cross is calling
for current rules to be relaxed, | 1:33:48 | 1:33:51 | |
so that older family members are not
left behind in war zones. | 1:33:51 | 1:33:55 | |
This week, the Home Office announced
that over the past two years around | 1:33:55 | 1:33:58 | |
9,000 Syrians had been
allowed into the UK under | 1:33:58 | 1:34:01 | |
its Vulnerable Person
Resettlement Scheme. | 1:34:01 | 1:34:03 | |
Let's be clear. | 1:34:03 | 1:34:04 | |
We are talking about children
who are part of the family unit. | 1:34:04 | 1:34:07 | |
People watching this now,
think of your family, | 1:34:07 | 1:34:09 | |
the children who still live at home,
who may be away studying. | 1:34:09 | 1:34:12 | |
That's what we're talking about. | 1:34:12 | 1:34:14 | |
Let's bring those
families back together. | 1:34:14 | 1:34:15 | |
Families belong together. | 1:34:15 | 1:34:16 | |
A new scheme, which aims
to recognise more places and people | 1:34:16 | 1:34:19 | |
with historic importance,
is set to be launched by Historic | 1:34:19 | 1:34:22 | |
England. | 1:34:22 | 1:34:25 | |
The heritage body wants people
to suggest sites that deserve to be | 1:34:25 | 1:34:28 | |
permanently acknowledged,
but aren't already marked | 1:34:28 | 1:34:30 | |
with a plaque. | 1:34:30 | 1:34:31 | |
The campaign will be
piloted over three years. | 1:34:31 | 1:34:36 | |
One other story this morning. | 1:34:36 | 1:34:38 | |
A huge waterspout has
formed off Italy. | 1:34:38 | 1:34:42 | |
It is rather remarkable.
I originally thought that was a | 1:34:42 | 1:34:47 | |
tornado, but it sucks the water up
and that's how it becomes a | 1:34:47 | 1:34:54 | |
waterspout. | 1:34:54 | 1:34:55 | |
It was spotted off the coast
of Sanremo, before moving inland | 1:34:55 | 1:34:58 | |
as a tornado. | 1:34:58 | 1:34:58 | |
The weather phenomenon caused
significant damage to the city, | 1:34:58 | 1:35:01 | |
but luckily no-one was hurt. | 1:35:01 | 1:35:09 | |
You can see the violence as the
water was swept up. | 1:35:09 | 1:35:20 | |
All of the sport now. There is a lot
happening this morning, but a long | 1:35:20 | 1:35:24 | |
way away.
Focusing on Australia. In the rugby | 1:35:24 | 1:35:29 | |
league I can sense a bit of
overconfidence on Australia's part. | 1:35:29 | 1:35:32 | |
I've been looking at the Brisbane
Times and the rugby League Cup final | 1:35:32 | 1:35:38 | |
is the fourth sports story behind
football and cricket. | 1:35:38 | 1:35:42 | |
The draw?
That the top story on the Brisbane | 1:35:42 | 1:35:47 | |
Times website and the Rudd elite in
fourth. They are saying they hope | 1:35:47 | 1:35:51 | |
the crowd will be over 40,000, so
not fall at all because the stadium | 1:35:51 | 1:35:57 | |
holds 50 2000. So I suppose when
you've won three out of four World | 1:35:57 | 1:36:04 | |
Cups, are the Australians are bit
blase? | 1:36:04 | 1:36:06 | |
But it's still a World Cup!
The English can make the most of | 1:36:06 | 1:36:14 | |
this. Maybe we are clutching at
straws. | 1:36:14 | 1:36:17 | |
England are aiming for their first
win over Australia since 1995 | 1:36:17 | 1:36:20 | |
in World Cup Final at nine 9am this
morning in Brisbane. | 1:36:20 | 1:36:23 | |
The hosts are widely regarded
as the favourites to win, | 1:36:23 | 1:36:26 | |
having already beaten
England in the group stages | 1:36:26 | 1:36:28 | |
of the tournament. | 1:36:28 | 1:36:29 | |
However, these travelling fans
are confident the visitors can | 1:36:29 | 1:36:31 | |
provide an upset. | 1:36:31 | 1:36:32 | |
Yes, very hopeful. Really good
atmosphere. I think the home of Rob | 1:36:32 | 1:36:42 | |
elite is back on in the UK. -- rugby
league. 22 years. Come on! England | 1:36:42 | 1:36:50 | |
this year have been so much better
than recently. I think we have a | 1:36:50 | 1:36:54 | |
chance. We've been around all week
and it's been great all week. | 1:36:54 | 1:37:02 | |
With us on the sofa is Sam Tomkins,
of Wigan Warriors and England fame. | 1:37:02 | 1:37:05 | |
Thanks for coming in. Can you
understand those fans thinking they | 1:37:05 | 1:37:11 | |
can smell an upset? Definitely. It's
a two horse race. 80 minutes and | 1:37:11 | 1:37:17 | |
we've got a quality team and we've
been written off by pretty much | 1:37:17 | 1:37:21 | |
everyone, apart from the English
fans. I think it's a good place to | 1:37:21 | 1:37:25 | |
be as underdogs and we knew that
would be the case going into the | 1:37:25 | 1:37:29 | |
final. How much does it help that
England lost the opening match | 1:37:29 | 1:37:34 | |
against Australia? How much can they
learn? They can take massive | 1:37:34 | 1:37:38 | |
positives from it. They have been
beaten by two tries, but we were | 1:37:38 | 1:37:44 | |
competitive in that game for a long
time. When you play against the best | 1:37:44 | 1:37:48 | |
team in the world they have
individuals that can score for | 1:37:48 | 1:37:51 | |
nothing, but we can learn really
valuable lessons. I think we | 1:37:51 | 1:37:57 | |
probably turned the ball over too
much. I don't understand what you | 1:37:57 | 1:38:02 | |
just said. We were dropping the ball
and giving the Australians a chance | 1:38:02 | 1:38:06 | |
to come out us and score tries. They
are the best in the world and have | 1:38:06 | 1:38:11 | |
been for a long time is if you give
them the ball long enough they will | 1:38:11 | 1:38:16 | |
score points. You've been in some of
these high-pressure situations. We | 1:38:16 | 1:38:19 | |
are now and quarter away from
kick-off. What's happening now? | 1:38:19 | 1:38:23 | |
What's the atmosphere? What happens
in the moments before? In the | 1:38:23 | 1:38:26 | |
dressing room you get there are
about one hour or one and a half | 1:38:26 | 1:38:33 | |
hours before the game. They will be
getting ready. You start hearing the | 1:38:33 | 1:38:36 | |
fans coming through. There will be
between 40 and 50,000. That sound | 1:38:36 | 1:38:41 | |
gets through to the dressing room
and your excitement and nerves as | 1:38:41 | 1:38:47 | |
you come up to the game. Then in the
warm up the adrenaline comes in. | 1:38:47 | 1:38:54 | |
Some people are noisy as the nerves
kick in, others get more composed. | 1:38:54 | 1:38:58 | |
There's everything from some people
sit with headphones and not speak to | 1:38:58 | 1:39:02 | |
someone, then other guys will be
playing games on their phones and | 1:39:02 | 1:39:05 | |
joking around. It's a bit of a
different one with international | 1:39:05 | 1:39:08 | |
rugby. You only play with these guys
three or four times, but at club | 1:39:08 | 1:39:15 | |
level you play with these guys 30
times a week, so you know who not to | 1:39:15 | 1:39:20 | |
joke with. It can be sticky if you
get it wrong. What's your routine? I | 1:39:20 | 1:39:24 | |
don't take it too seriously in the
changing room. I'm one of the ones | 1:39:24 | 1:39:31 | |
annoying everyone. Sam Burgess is
captain today and familiar to a lot | 1:39:31 | 1:39:34 | |
of people from rugby union of
course. What is his style? As a | 1:39:34 | 1:39:38 | |
leader. What's he like? He is the
kind of coach who leads by example. | 1:39:38 | 1:39:43 | |
He can dish out a shout at someone
if he needs to, what he does all of | 1:39:43 | 1:39:49 | |
the little things. There are things
probably a lot of people don't | 1:39:49 | 1:39:53 | |
appreciate. A couple of metres he
makes up in the defensive line, or a | 1:39:53 | 1:39:58 | |
tough carry with the ball. He is a
leader in what he does when he's got | 1:39:58 | 1:40:02 | |
the ball. He is huge for us. I'm
quite interested in the buildup. | 1:40:02 | 1:40:07 | |
When the warmup is taking place you
are in front of the fans. How will | 1:40:07 | 1:40:11 | |
the Australian fans react to the
England team? What do you hear? A | 1:40:11 | 1:40:16 | |
lot of things I couldn't repeat. So
it can be quite hostile even at that | 1:40:16 | 1:40:21 | |
point? It's a very hostile
situation. When you are warming up | 1:40:21 | 1:40:25 | |
you are warming up at either end of
the field and you are right in front | 1:40:25 | 1:40:31 | |
of the opposition fans. That's what
gets you going for the game. That's | 1:40:31 | 1:40:35 | |
when it puts a bit of fire in your
belly? That's right. Sometimes it | 1:40:35 | 1:40:39 | |
can work for you. I have to ask you.
What do you reckon? I think the | 1:40:39 | 1:40:45 | |
English will win. It will be close,
but I'm backing the boys. I believe | 1:40:45 | 1:40:50 | |
we can do it. England by six points.
You are of course involved in the | 1:40:50 | 1:40:56 | |
semi-final team, the last-minute
defeat. That could be motivation! We | 1:40:56 | 1:41:02 | |
can look forward to watching you on
BBC One, the buildup from 8:30am. I | 1:41:02 | 1:41:08 | |
don't you've got to go to the other
studio. Radio 5 Live and the BBC | 1:41:08 | 1:41:13 | |
website as well. Staying in
Australia. | 1:41:13 | 1:41:16 | |
We've had two rain interruptions
on day one of the second Ashes Test, | 1:41:16 | 1:41:19 | |
but play is under way
again in Adelaide. | 1:41:19 | 1:41:21 | |
And England have made
the breakthrough, after some | 1:41:21 | 1:41:24 | |
confusion between the
Australian openers. | 1:41:24 | 1:41:28 | |
They tried to take advantage
of a miss-field from England, | 1:41:28 | 1:41:30 | |
but it backfired. | 1:41:30 | 1:41:31 | |
Cameron Bankcroft run
out by Chris Woakes. | 1:41:31 | 1:41:36 | |
Australia has since settled down.
Another wicket has gone. David | 1:41:36 | 1:41:42 | |
Warner is out, three runs short of
his half-century. Australia are now | 1:41:42 | 1:41:48 | |
91-2. | 1:41:48 | 1:41:49 | |
Pub landlords have been toasting
England's World Cup draw, | 1:41:49 | 1:41:51 | |
because all of their games in Russia
will be played at 7pm in the evening | 1:41:51 | 1:41:56 | |
or Sunday afternoon,
so people don't have | 1:41:56 | 1:41:57 | |
to take time off work. | 1:41:57 | 1:42:00 | |
They can all gathered together in a
big social occasion! | 1:42:00 | 1:42:03 | |
Diego Maradona was the man
who pulled England's name out | 1:42:03 | 1:42:05 | |
of the pot in the Kremlin. | 1:42:05 | 1:42:08 | |
Gareth Southgate's side
are in a group with Belgium, | 1:42:08 | 1:42:12 | |
Tunisia and Panama, but he says
a good draw on paper | 1:42:12 | 1:42:15 | |
doesn't mean a jot, | 1:42:15 | 1:42:17 | |
given England's recent
World Cup record. | 1:42:17 | 1:42:18 | |
We've been good at writing teams off
and then getting beaten, | 1:42:18 | 1:42:21 | |
so we have to make sure that we're
prepared for all of those games. | 1:42:21 | 1:42:25 | |
It's fantastically exciting
to be here for the draw | 1:42:25 | 1:42:27 | |
with every other coach. | 1:42:27 | 1:42:29 | |
It's been a great experience
and really looking forward | 1:42:29 | 1:42:31 | |
to getting on with it. | 1:42:31 | 1:42:35 | |
The big game in the Premier League
today is the evening kick-off | 1:42:35 | 1:42:38 | |
between Arsenal and
Manchester United. | 1:42:38 | 1:42:41 | |
Celtic play Motherwell in Scotland
and the FA Cup continues. | 1:42:41 | 1:42:47 | |
Last night, an upset -
non-league AFC Fylde earned a replay | 1:42:47 | 1:42:50 | |
with Wigan Athletic of League One. | 1:42:50 | 1:42:52 | |
Danny Rowe's penalty
giving them a 1-1 draw. | 1:42:52 | 1:42:54 | |
So both sides will be
in Monday's third-round draw. | 1:42:54 | 1:43:01 | |
Newcastle snatched a very late
victory at Northampton, | 1:43:01 | 1:43:05 | |
in rugby union's Premiership. | 1:43:05 | 1:43:07 | |
After a scrappy try from the final
play of the game, Tarney Takula | 1:43:07 | 1:43:11 | |
kicked the crucial conversion
to give them victory by 24-22. | 1:43:11 | 1:43:16 | |
And Glasgow Warriors'
great run continues. | 1:43:16 | 1:43:19 | |
They made it ten wins
from ten in the Pro 14, | 1:43:19 | 1:43:22 | |
with a bonus point victory
over Cardiff Blues. | 1:43:22 | 1:43:24 | |
40-16 the score. | 1:43:24 | 1:43:26 | |
Alfie Hewitt has joined
Gordon Reid in the semi-finals | 1:43:26 | 1:43:29 | |
of the Wheelchair Tennis Masters. | 1:43:29 | 1:43:30 | |
He came from a set down to beat
Stephane Houdet of France. | 1:43:30 | 1:43:34 | |
Reid and Hewitt are the reigning
Wimbledon doubles champions. | 1:43:34 | 1:43:38 | |
There's live coverage
from Loughborough on the BBC Sport | 1:43:38 | 1:43:41 | |
website and connected
televisions from 11 o'clock. | 1:43:41 | 1:43:50 | |
Tiger Woods said he'd
proved his latest back operation had | 1:43:50 | 1:43:56 | |
been a success. | 1:43:56 | 1:44:01 | |
He let his strokes do the talking,
after he shot another under-par | 1:44:01 | 1:44:04 | |
round at the Hero World Challenge
in the Bahamas. | 1:44:04 | 1:44:07 | |
It's his first tournament for almost
a year, but he's now seven under | 1:44:07 | 1:44:10 | |
at the half-way stage,
tied for fifth place. | 1:44:10 | 1:44:13 | |
Charley Hoffman is the leader. | 1:44:13 | 1:44:14 | |
England's Tommy Fleetwood
who was leading is three shots | 1:44:14 | 1:44:16 | |
back. | 1:44:16 | 1:44:17 | |
Tiger Woods, you reckon this will be
a longer spell back in the game? | 1:44:17 | 1:44:20 | |
He's not going to win, but it is
great for the younger players to | 1:44:20 | 1:44:25 | |
play alongside him. You can't have a
character like that in a sport who | 1:44:25 | 1:44:29 | |
has left the game. Long, who made
such an impact and such a difference | 1:44:29 | 1:44:33 | |
to the game, to come back and ignore
him. Regardless, he brings good | 1:44:33 | 1:44:37 | |
things to the idea of greatness in
golf. The likes of Tommy Fleetwood | 1:44:37 | 1:44:45 | |
can say they played alongside him.
He likes playing with them as well. | 1:44:45 | 1:44:49 | |
It's all been good. Thanks. Let's
talk to Darren, England in the | 1:44:49 | 1:45:01 | |
rugby, 22 years since they've been
in the final, let's talk about the | 1:45:01 | 1:45:04 | |
weather, what's going on? | 1:45:04 | 1:45:06 | |
About 25 at the moment in Brisbane
but look at the radar picture and | 1:45:08 | 1:45:12 | |
there are some showers heading
towards Brisbane, they may well | 1:45:12 | 1:45:15 | |
arrive during the match and if you
get a shower during the game it | 1:45:15 | 1:45:19 | |
could be heavy and accompanied by
gusty winds as well. At home we had | 1:45:19 | 1:45:26 | |
a lot of showery wintry showers but
this weekend the weather has changed | 1:45:26 | 1:45:32 | |
significantly with our winds coming
in more from the Atlantic and slowly | 1:45:32 | 1:45:46 | |
lifting the temperatures but
dragging in a lot of cloud this | 1:45:46 | 1:45:48 | |
weekend and that cloud thicken off
to give us rain and drizzle here and | 1:45:48 | 1:45:52 | |
there and this is how it looks this
morning, cloudy skies out there, | 1:45:52 | 1:45:56 | |
especially in Wales, and then in the
afternoon wet weather arrives in | 1:45:56 | 1:45:59 | |
Northern Scotland, a glimpse of
sunshine here and there but not much | 1:45:59 | 1:46:02 | |
for the south-east and Wales, still
drizzly showers. Cold air in the | 1:46:02 | 1:46:06 | |
south-east and East Anglia, the mild
air doesn't reach here today, a cold | 1:46:06 | 1:46:09 | |
start and those temperatures
reluctant to rise, only five or six | 1:46:09 | 1:46:12 | |
and eight or nine will be typical.
Sunshine to the east of the Pennines | 1:46:12 | 1:46:16 | |
and the south-east of Scotland for a
while ahead of this ragged patchy | 1:46:16 | 1:46:20 | |
rain heading into Northern Scotland
in the afternoon where we have | 1:46:20 | 1:46:23 | |
stronger winds but for many the
winds will be like overnight. The | 1:46:23 | 1:46:28 | |
patchy rain works south away from
Scotland into Northern Ireland and | 1:46:28 | 1:46:31 | |
northern England and down to Wales,
the Midlands and East Anglia and | 1:46:31 | 1:46:35 | |
underneath that there will be a lot
of cloud and it will be very mild | 1:46:35 | 1:46:39 | |
but as we see the wetter weather
move away from Scotland the cloud | 1:46:39 | 1:46:43 | |
will break and temperatures will
dip. Cold air is in the North Sea | 1:46:43 | 1:46:49 | |
and then a continent. High pressure
to the west but near the top of it | 1:46:49 | 1:46:54 | |
we draw in milder air and that
weather front responsible for this | 1:46:54 | 1:46:57 | |
rain in Northern Ireland, that will
go back towards western Scotland | 1:46:57 | 1:47:00 | |
through the day. A lot of the cloud
we have in the south, through the | 1:47:00 | 1:47:04 | |
Midlands and south east England and
East Anglia will break up and for | 1:47:04 | 1:47:07 | |
many eastern parts of the UK, a
better chance of seeing sunshine | 1:47:07 | 1:47:11 | |
tomorrow, still rather damp and
drizzly to the west but a milder | 1:47:11 | 1:47:15 | |
day, even in the south-east
temperatures getting to ten or so. A | 1:47:15 | 1:47:18 | |
quiet start to the new week, again
dominated by high pressure but | 1:47:18 | 1:47:23 | |
around it, a lot of cloudy mild air
to come with temperatures, nine or | 1:47:23 | 1:47:27 | |
ten, most of the rain in the
north-west of Scotland probably but | 1:47:27 | 1:47:30 | |
the middle part of the week may well
turn wet and also rather windy and | 1:47:30 | 1:47:34 | |
we could see cold air returning by
the end of next week. Sometime off, | 1:47:34 | 1:47:39 | |
though, milder the moment. I like it
mild at the moment. I will take | 1:47:39 | 1:47:45 | |
that. | 1:47:45 | 1:47:45 | |
Now it's time for Newswatch
with Samira Ahmed. | 1:47:45 | 1:47:47 | |
Hello and welcome to Newswatch
with me, Samira Ahmed. | 1:48:00 | 1:48:02 | |
Everyone loves a wedding but did BBC
News go into overdrive | 1:48:02 | 1:48:05 | |
with Harry and Meghan? | 1:48:05 | 1:48:06 | |
And... | 1:48:06 | 1:48:07 | |
My congratulations
to Harry and Meghan. | 1:48:07 | 1:48:08 | |
I wish them well. | 1:48:08 | 1:48:09 | |
Jeremy Corbyn congratulates
the happy couple. | 1:48:09 | 1:48:11 | |
What could possibly go wrong
with BBC subtitling? | 1:48:11 | 1:48:12 | |
First, a row involving
Donald Trump's Twitter | 1:48:14 | 1:48:16 | |
account is not a new thing. | 1:48:16 | 1:48:19 | |
But this week was the first time
that Theresa May got | 1:48:19 | 1:48:22 | |
involved so directly. | 1:48:22 | 1:48:24 | |
The US President had
re-tweeted three videos | 1:48:24 | 1:48:25 | |
from the far right group,
Britain First, alleging to show | 1:48:25 | 1:48:28 | |
violent acts by Muslims. | 1:48:28 | 1:48:30 | |
Roger Watts felt the wide
coverage given to the story | 1:48:30 | 1:48:33 | |
was unhelpful, e-mailing... | 1:48:33 | 1:48:34 | |
At the start of the week,
the Government handed over | 1:48:43 | 1:48:46 | |
an 850-page document,
detailing how it thought the UK's | 1:48:46 | 1:48:48 | |
departure from the European Union
would affect 58 sectors | 1:48:48 | 1:48:51 | |
of the economy. | 1:48:51 | 1:48:52 | |
But, some sections of the so-called
Brexit impact studies | 1:48:52 | 1:48:55 | |
were blacked out to the fury
of opposition parties. | 1:48:55 | 1:48:57 | |
There was little about this
on BBC News on Monday | 1:48:57 | 1:49:01 | |
or Tuesday, which prompted
Chris Hill to write: | 1:49:01 | 1:49:02 | |
Well, one reason why that story
received less attention than it have | 1:49:26 | 1:49:29 | |
done was a certain engagement
announced this week, which we think | 1:49:29 | 1:49:32 | |
you might just have noticed. | 1:49:32 | 1:49:34 | |
Victoria Derbyshire was on air
when the long awaited and much | 1:49:34 | 1:49:37 | |
predicted news broke
on Monday morning. | 1:49:37 | 1:49:40 | |
Clarence House have just
announced in the last few | 1:49:40 | 1:49:42 | |
seconds that Prince Harry
is to marry his American | 1:49:42 | 1:49:45 | |
girlfriend, Meghan Markle. | 1:49:45 | 1:49:50 | |
For the rest of the day,
the BBC News operation, | 1:49:50 | 1:49:53 | |
in common with almost all British
media organisations, | 1:49:53 | 1:49:55 | |
went into overdrive. | 1:49:55 | 1:49:56 | |
With presenters and reporters
deployed to Kensington Palace, | 1:49:56 | 1:49:58 | |
bulletins devoting more
than half their time | 1:49:58 | 1:50:00 | |
to the engagement, a scheduled
edition of Panorama changed | 1:50:00 | 1:50:02 | |
to a special programme on the Royal
news, and extensive coverage | 1:50:02 | 1:50:05 | |
on the news channel and online. | 1:50:05 | 1:50:13 | |
The response of Sarah Louise Ellis: | 1:50:13 | 1:50:14 | |
Ian Holton told us: | 1:50:32 | 1:50:33 | |
Other viewers had another objection,
articulated here by Carolyn Watts. | 1:50:54 | 1:50:59 | |
I was quite amazed that I heard
the news reader actually say, | 1:50:59 | 1:51:03 | |
Ms Markle, who is of mixed race,
and then went on to the item | 1:51:03 | 1:51:07 | |
of news, regarding the arrangements
that are going to take place. | 1:51:07 | 1:51:10 | |
Why does she have to say that? | 1:51:10 | 1:51:12 | |
Why is it relevant that
she is of mixed race? | 1:51:12 | 1:51:16 | |
What difference does it
make what colour she is? | 1:51:16 | 1:51:19 | |
I do sometimes feel that
by making these statements, | 1:51:19 | 1:51:22 | |
the BBC is sometimes being divisive
and is actually setting up barriers | 1:51:22 | 1:51:25 | |
where there aren't any,
they just don't exist. | 1:51:25 | 1:51:27 | |
I know that she herself actually
says that she is mixed race and has | 1:51:27 | 1:51:31 | |
used this to her own benefit
and to the benefit of others, | 1:51:31 | 1:51:34 | |
and I think that's great. | 1:51:34 | 1:51:38 | |
To actually say it,
in the introductory line, | 1:51:38 | 1:51:40 | |
I don't think that's right. | 1:51:40 | 1:51:42 | |
Well, another viewer who contacted
us this week about the coverage | 1:51:42 | 1:51:45 | |
of the Royal engagement was Bob
Davie. | 1:51:45 | 1:51:47 | |
He joins us now from Sheffield. | 1:51:47 | 1:51:50 | |
With me in the studio
is Richard Burgess, UK news | 1:51:50 | 1:51:52 | |
editor for BBC News. | 1:51:52 | 1:51:53 | |
Bob, first, what did
you feel about the coverage? | 1:51:53 | 1:51:56 | |
I just thought that,
with other events happening | 1:51:56 | 1:51:58 | |
in the world of far more
significance and importance | 1:51:58 | 1:52:00 | |
to the people of this country,
to waste more than half | 1:52:00 | 1:52:03 | |
the Six O'Clock News bulletin
to coverage of the engagement, | 1:52:03 | 1:52:06 | |
which everyone knew about already,
I thought was absolutely pointless. | 1:52:06 | 1:52:21 | |
This is the issue, isn't it,
Richard, it's the excess. | 1:52:21 | 1:52:24 | |
It's a simple fact. | 1:52:24 | 1:52:25 | |
Most people knew it was coming. | 1:52:25 | 1:52:26 | |
More than half the bulletin. | 1:52:26 | 1:52:28 | |
Well, it was announced that morning,
so we didn't know it was definitely | 1:52:28 | 1:52:31 | |
happening that day. | 1:52:31 | 1:52:34 | |
And at six o'clock was the first
time we'd actually had the chance | 1:52:34 | 1:52:37 | |
to hear from both Harry and Meghan
in the interview they did | 1:52:37 | 1:52:41 | |
with Michelle Hussain. | 1:52:41 | 1:52:41 | |
I think there were a lot
of interesting issues | 1:52:41 | 1:52:44 | |
to get into in relation
to how their relationship developed, | 1:52:44 | 1:52:47 | |
how he proposed, all stuff we found
out for the first time | 1:52:47 | 1:52:50 | |
in the Six O'Clock News bulletin. | 1:52:50 | 1:52:53 | |
So, I appreciate Bob's point
that there was quite a bit | 1:52:53 | 1:52:56 | |
of time devoted to it. | 1:52:56 | 1:52:58 | |
But, as far as we can tell,
a lot of the audience was really | 1:52:58 | 1:53:01 | |
engaged with the story and actually
really enjoyed the coverage. | 1:53:01 | 1:53:04 | |
Bob, did you feel a lot of other
stories got squeezed out? | 1:53:04 | 1:53:07 | |
Well, yes. | 1:53:07 | 1:53:10 | |
The announcement of the engagement
matters not the slightest. | 1:53:10 | 1:53:15 | |
It's not going to make the slightest
difference to anyone | 1:53:15 | 1:53:17 | |
in this country's life. | 1:53:17 | 1:53:21 | |
And yet events that are happening
in Parliament are going to affect | 1:53:21 | 1:53:27 | |
people in this country
for decades to come. | 1:53:27 | 1:53:29 | |
Surely we should be paying
more attention to that | 1:53:29 | 1:53:32 | |
than the fripperies
of what the Royals get up to. | 1:53:32 | 1:53:34 | |
You see, you look at
what was on the news. | 1:53:34 | 1:53:37 | |
The Pope in Burma, the redacted
Brexit impact studies, you know, | 1:53:37 | 1:53:42 | |
which the Government released
with a huge row, the Chennai six. | 1:53:42 | 1:53:45 | |
We needed to have these
stories properly explained. | 1:53:45 | 1:53:47 | |
They all get squeezed and other
stories get dropped off for us | 1:53:47 | 1:53:50 | |
to find out how he proposed? | 1:53:50 | 1:53:52 | |
Well, I think we did
cover all those stories, | 1:53:52 | 1:53:54 | |
and have done over the course
of the week. | 1:53:54 | 1:53:57 | |
We led with the Rohinga Muslim
situation on Tuesday, | 1:53:57 | 1:53:59 | |
when the Pope actually did not
mention them by name in the meeting | 1:53:59 | 1:54:03 | |
with Ang Sung Su Kyi. | 1:54:03 | 1:54:04 | |
OK, Channai Six, on the day,
that would have been | 1:54:04 | 1:54:07 | |
your lead, wouldn't it? | 1:54:07 | 1:54:08 | |
Well, maybe. | 1:54:08 | 1:54:09 | |
Let's face it, the interest
in the Harry and Meghan | 1:54:09 | 1:54:12 | |
engagement was extraordinary. | 1:54:12 | 1:54:13 | |
5.6 million watched
the Six O'Clock News on Monday. | 1:54:13 | 1:54:15 | |
That's the biggest audience we've
had for a news bulletin all week. | 1:54:15 | 1:54:19 | |
It was the most popular news story
on the website by a long distance, | 1:54:19 | 1:54:22 | |
nearly 7 million people read
the main story. | 1:54:22 | 1:54:25 | |
So, there really is
the interest there in it. | 1:54:25 | 1:54:27 | |
The other stories you mentioned,
we have covered and we continue | 1:54:27 | 1:54:30 | |
to cover in depth. | 1:54:30 | 1:54:32 | |
I think, like a lot of viewers,
you also had concern | 1:54:32 | 1:54:35 | |
about the tone of the coverage
of the engagement, didn't you? | 1:54:35 | 1:54:38 | |
Yes, it seems as though
the Royal reporters | 1:54:38 | 1:54:40 | |
are fawning and sycophantic. | 1:54:40 | 1:54:45 | |
I don't know how
they get their jobs. | 1:54:45 | 1:54:47 | |
I thought Nicholas Witchell
was quite a good reporter | 1:54:47 | 1:54:50 | |
until he became the Royal reporter
and then seems to have gone | 1:54:50 | 1:54:53 | |
the way of Jennie Bond. | 1:54:53 | 1:54:55 | |
To be fair, Bob, do
you have an issue that | 1:54:55 | 1:54:58 | |
you personally don't care
for Royal coverage? | 1:54:58 | 1:55:00 | |
Not really, no. | 1:55:00 | 1:55:04 | |
To be frank. | 1:55:04 | 1:55:06 | |
It was perhaps worth a mention. | 1:55:06 | 1:55:11 | |
It would perhaps have been
at the bottom of page | 1:55:11 | 1:55:18 | |
eight in the Guardian
or something like that. | 1:55:18 | 1:55:22 | |
But, apart from that, no. | 1:55:22 | 1:55:25 | |
You know, Richard,
it is a happy occasion. | 1:55:25 | 1:55:27 | |
We all know, it's not time
for a tough grilling. | 1:55:27 | 1:55:29 | |
But, a lot of viewers do
detect what they see | 1:55:29 | 1:55:32 | |
as a fawning tone, don't they? | 1:55:32 | 1:55:34 | |
Let's face it. | 1:55:34 | 1:55:34 | |
We were reporting what ostensibly
was a happy story on Monday. | 1:55:34 | 1:55:38 | |
Most people saw it as good news
and most people saw it | 1:55:38 | 1:55:41 | |
as a positive story. | 1:55:41 | 1:55:42 | |
So, I think, you've got to reflect
that in the tone of your coverage | 1:55:42 | 1:55:46 | |
but we also reflected the issues
that the Royal Family have had | 1:55:46 | 1:55:49 | |
in the past with marriage. | 1:55:49 | 1:55:50 | |
We reflected the fact
that she is a divorcee. | 1:55:50 | 1:55:53 | |
So, I think there were issues
to cover but ostensibly Monday | 1:55:53 | 1:55:56 | |
was a happy story that,
clearly, when you look | 1:55:56 | 1:55:58 | |
at the figures our
audiences really enjoyed. | 1:55:58 | 1:56:00 | |
Richard, we also know a few viewers,
and we had one on webcam there, | 1:56:00 | 1:56:04 | |
felt uncomfortable about the amount
of discussion of Meghan Markle's | 1:56:04 | 1:56:07 | |
mixed race background. | 1:56:07 | 1:56:07 | |
Separate whether she raises it,
dropping it into an introductory | 1:56:07 | 1:56:10 | |
line, did the BBC perhaps misjudge
how to discuss that? | 1:56:10 | 1:56:13 | |
Make too much of it? | 1:56:13 | 1:56:14 | |
No, I don't think we
made too much of it. | 1:56:14 | 1:56:17 | |
It was one question
within Michelle's interview. | 1:56:17 | 1:56:19 | |
It is an element of the story,
an element of her story. | 1:56:19 | 1:56:22 | |
We're telling the audience
about who she is. | 1:56:22 | 1:56:24 | |
She also raised it herself,
her and Prince Harry issued | 1:56:24 | 1:56:27 | |
a statement about racial undertones
they talked about in comment pieces | 1:56:27 | 1:56:30 | |
and racism on social media. | 1:56:30 | 1:56:31 | |
She talked in the interview
about her pride at her ethnicity. | 1:56:31 | 1:56:34 | |
So, I think it was an element
of the story and it was important | 1:56:34 | 1:56:38 | |
we reflected that element
of the story. | 1:56:38 | 1:56:40 | |
Do you think you got anything wrong
in the coverage of this? | 1:56:40 | 1:56:43 | |
Quite clearly people enjoyed
the coverage and we've had a lot | 1:56:43 | 1:56:46 | |
of positive feedback but I know
there are people like Bob | 1:56:46 | 1:56:49 | |
who will always think,
actually, too much. | 1:56:49 | 1:56:51 | |
There are people in my own
family who think that. | 1:56:51 | 1:56:54 | |
It divides people. | 1:56:54 | 1:56:55 | |
Of course. | 1:56:55 | 1:56:55 | |
But I think this was a good news
story for a lot of our audience | 1:56:55 | 1:56:59 | |
and I think they enjoyed
the positive news. | 1:56:59 | 1:57:01 | |
Bob, a final word to you,
the wedding was in May, | 1:57:01 | 1:57:05 | |
how would you like to see BBC News
coverage handle this story over | 1:57:05 | 1:57:08 | |
the next six months? | 1:57:08 | 1:57:09 | |
Well, I think it would be
interesting for some people. | 1:57:09 | 1:57:12 | |
I don't know if OK or Hello magazine
is going to cover it | 1:57:12 | 1:57:15 | |
but I would have thought that
would be sufficient. | 1:57:15 | 1:57:18 | |
Those that are interested will buy
Hello and OK magazines, | 1:57:18 | 1:57:21 | |
the rest of us can get
on with our lives and | 1:57:21 | 1:57:24 | |
address important things. | 1:57:24 | 1:57:24 | |
Bob Davie, thank you so much,
and Richard Burgess. | 1:57:24 | 1:57:27 | |
Finally, the BBC Two comedy series
W1A, presented a satirical, | 1:57:27 | 1:57:30 | |
but not entirely unfamiliar view
of life at the BBC. | 1:57:30 | 1:57:32 | |
One episode in the last series
dealt with an issue we've | 1:57:32 | 1:57:35 | |
addressed on this programme. | 1:57:35 | 1:57:42 | |
So, it's been live for 24 hours
now and basically we're | 1:57:42 | 1:57:45 | |
looking at 93% accuracy. | 1:57:45 | 1:57:46 | |
Right. | 1:57:46 | 1:57:46 | |
Except in those one
or two areas, obviously. | 1:57:46 | 1:57:48 | |
A new version of the BBC
state-of-the-art Syncopatico | 1:57:48 | 1:57:51 | |
operating system has just gone live,
including a major upgrade | 1:57:51 | 1:57:53 | |
of the Syncopati-caption automatic
live subtitling software. | 1:57:53 | 1:57:55 | |
So, can we talk about the other 7%? | 1:57:55 | 1:57:57 | |
Yeah, sure. | 1:57:57 | 1:58:01 | |
Although Synchopati-caption 2.0
is already out subtitling | 1:58:01 | 1:58:05 | |
its predecessors in many areas,
the area where it's least accurate | 1:58:05 | 1:58:08 | |
is that of proper names. | 1:58:08 | 1:58:10 | |
Like Tweezer May, for instance. | 1:58:10 | 1:58:12 | |
To be fair, phonetically,
that's actually pretty close. | 1:58:12 | 1:58:14 | |
Politically and in every other way
except phonetically it's a disaster. | 1:58:14 | 1:58:17 | |
Yeah. | 1:58:17 | 1:58:18 | |
Worse still, Vladimir puking. | 1:58:18 | 1:58:19 | |
Yeah, that was really bad. | 1:58:19 | 1:58:21 | |
Subtitling blunders like that
couldn't happen in fact | 1:58:21 | 1:58:24 | |
as well as fiction, could they? | 1:58:24 | 1:58:26 | |
Well, on Monday, Jeremy Corbyn
was congratulating Prince Harry and | 1:58:26 | 1:58:33 | |
Meghan Markle on their engagement
in a speech saying, "I really do | 1:58:33 | 1:58:37 | |
admire the way that Harry
and his brother have drawn attention | 1:58:37 | 1:58:39 | |
to mental health conditions." | 1:58:39 | 1:58:41 | |
But this is what viewers
with subtitling switched | 1:58:41 | 1:58:43 | |
on saw on their screens. | 1:58:43 | 1:58:44 | |
It was a particularly unfortunate
error, considering the criticism | 1:58:47 | 1:58:50 | |
Mr Corbyn has faced for referring
to his friends in Hezbollah and some | 1:58:50 | 1:58:54 | |
viewers were unimpressed
with Will Pollock asking: | 1:58:54 | 1:58:55 | |
While Elisabeth Lefebvre
commented: | 1:59:01 | 1:59:02 | |
The BBC is said the voice
recognition technology used | 1:59:05 | 1:59:08 | |
when subtitling live news broadcasts
misrecognised the phrase, | 1:59:08 | 1:59:11 | |
"his brother", and the error
was corrected on screen. | 1:59:11 | 1:59:14 | |
But that wasn't the only
on-screen oddity on Monday. | 1:59:14 | 1:59:17 | |
Not a subtitling issue this time
but it will have come as a surprise | 1:59:17 | 1:59:21 | |
to many that the Royal engagement
led to crisis talks between | 1:59:21 | 1:59:24 | |
the leaders of the two main parties. | 1:59:24 | 1:59:26 | |

Hello, this is Breakfast with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 2:00:23 | 2:00:25 | |
The investigation into Russian
meddling in the US election closes | 2:00:25 | 2:00:27 | |
in on President Trump's inner
circle. | 2:00:27 | 2:00:30 | |
His former National Security Advisor
Michael Flynn admits lying | 2:00:30 | 2:00:33 | |
to the FBI as US media reports that
he's prepared to implicate | 2:00:33 | 2:00:36 | |
the president's son-in-law,
Jared Kushner. | 2:00:36 | 2:00:45 | |
Good morning, it's Saturday
the 2nd of December. | 2:00:54 | 2:00:56 | |
Also this morning: | 2:00:56 | 2:01:06 | |
We need the England boys to win.
Come on! | 2:01:12 | 2:01:14 | |
Come on! | 2:01:14 | 2:01:15 | |
A big day for England fans
in Brisbane as they get ready for | 2:01:15 | 2:01:19 | |
the Rugby League World Cup final. | 2:01:19 | 2:01:20 | |
Yes, England will face the hosts
Australia whom they haven't beaten | 2:01:20 | 2:01:23 | |
since 1995, which was also the same
year they were last in the final. | 2:01:23 | 2:01:26 | |
Cyber security experts warn
government departments | 2:01:26 | 2:01:27 | |
against using Russian anti-virus
software, saying it | 2:01:27 | 2:01:29 | |
could be exploited. | 2:01:29 | 2:01:31 | |
England's untold history -
the public is asked to nominate | 2:01:31 | 2:01:34 | |
places that deserve to be part
of a new national memorial scheme. | 2:01:34 | 2:01:39 | |
Darren has the weather for us.
Our weather could not be more | 2:01:39 | 2:01:44 | |
different this weekend instead of
the cold, northern winds and wintry | 2:01:44 | 2:01:48 | |
showers. This weekend we have got a
lot of cloud and rain and not a | 2:01:48 | 2:01:53 | |
great deal of sunshine, but at least
temperatures are rising. | 2:01:53 | 2:02:00 | |
Good morning. | 2:02:00 | 2:02:01 | |
First our main story. | 2:02:01 | 2:02:03 | |
US media reports say
Donald Trump's former | 2:02:03 | 2:02:05 | |
national security adviser,
Michael Flynn, who has | 2:02:05 | 2:02:07 | |
admitted lying to the FBI
about his contacts with Russia, | 2:02:07 | 2:02:09 | |
is prepared to give testimony that
implicates the President's | 2:02:09 | 2:02:11 | |
son-in-law, Jared Kushner. | 2:02:11 | 2:02:13 | |
Mr Flynn has agreed to co-operate
with an investigation | 2:02:13 | 2:02:15 | |
into Russian meddling in the US
Presidential election. | 2:02:15 | 2:02:17 | |
It's thought he'll tell
investigators he was taking | 2:02:17 | 2:02:19 | |
directions from senior members
of Donald Trump's campaign team. | 2:02:19 | 2:02:22 | |
The White House says Mr Flynn has
implicated no-one but himself | 2:02:22 | 2:02:24 | |
in the investigation. | 2:02:24 | 2:02:27 | |
Our Washington Correspondent
Laura Bicker has more. | 2:02:27 | 2:02:32 | |
Michael Flynn, a retired three star
general, left the court | 2:02:32 | 2:02:35 | |
in Washington to a familiar chant. | 2:02:35 | 2:02:38 | |
"Lock him up." | 2:02:38 | 2:02:40 | |
He'd once encouraged Donald Trump
supporters to use a similar version | 2:02:40 | 2:02:43 | |
against rival Hillary Clinton. | 2:02:43 | 2:02:45 | |
The 58-year-old played a key part
in Mr Trump's campaign | 2:02:45 | 2:02:48 | |
and often travelled with him. | 2:02:48 | 2:02:55 | |
If I did a tenth,
a tenth of what she did, | 2:02:55 | 2:02:58 | |
I would be in jail today. | 2:02:58 | 2:02:59 | |
He was rewarded with the post
of national security adviser, | 2:02:59 | 2:03:02 | |
but was forced to resign after just
23 days when his contacts | 2:03:02 | 2:03:05 | |
with Russia to discuss US
sanctions were disclosed. | 2:03:05 | 2:03:07 | |
On the 29th of December,
Michael Flynn spoke | 2:03:07 | 2:03:10 | |
to the Russian Ambassador
on the phone in the first | 2:03:10 | 2:03:12 | |
of a series of calls. | 2:03:12 | 2:03:15 | |
On the 15th of January,
Vice President Mike Pence said that | 2:03:15 | 2:03:17 | |
sanctions were not discussed
in those calls. | 2:03:17 | 2:03:21 | |
Only after the 9th of February,
when a newspaper revealed | 2:03:21 | 2:03:24 | |
General Flynn did discuss sanctions,
did pressure increase | 2:03:24 | 2:03:26 | |
and Michael Flynn lost his job. | 2:03:26 | 2:03:30 | |
As part of his guilty plea,
prosecutors said Mr Flynn is now | 2:03:30 | 2:03:33 | |
cooperating with the investigation. | 2:03:33 | 2:03:36 | |
US media claims he will testify that
senior members of the Trump team, | 2:03:36 | 2:03:39 | |
including Mr Trump's son-in-law
Jared Kushner, encouraged | 2:03:39 | 2:03:41 | |
Flynn to make contact
with Russian officials. | 2:03:41 | 2:03:44 | |
The White House is now
trying to distance himself | 2:03:44 | 2:03:47 | |
from Flynn's actions,
and the lies he told to the FBI, | 2:03:47 | 2:03:50 | |
but having reached a plea
bargain to co-operate, | 2:03:50 | 2:03:53 | |
what else has Mr Flynn told
the enquiry and what further | 2:03:53 | 2:03:56 | |
revelations are to come? | 2:03:56 | 2:04:01 | |
All government departments
have been advised by | 2:04:01 | 2:04:03 | |
The National Cyber Security Centre
not to use Russian anti-virus | 2:04:03 | 2:04:05 | |
software on systems containing
sensitive information. | 2:04:05 | 2:04:09 | |
Kaspersky Lab, which has 400 million
customers worldwide, | 2:04:09 | 2:04:12 | |
was banned from US government
networks earlier this year. | 2:04:12 | 2:04:15 | |
The company denies any
links to the Kremlin. | 2:04:15 | 2:04:17 | |
Our reporter, Jon
Donnison, has more. | 2:04:17 | 2:04:23 | |
Cyber security software like that
provided by Kaspersky Lab requires | 2:04:23 | 2:04:25 | |
extensive access to the files
on a computer phone or network | 2:04:25 | 2:04:29 | |
to look for viruses. | 2:04:29 | 2:04:33 | |
Our mission has always
been to protect... | 2:04:33 | 2:04:36 | |
Kaspersky is used by consumers
and businesses as well as some parts | 2:04:36 | 2:04:38 | |
of government to protect systems
from criminals and hackers. | 2:04:38 | 2:04:43 | |
But now a new warning about Russian
anti-virus software, | 2:04:43 | 2:04:46 | |
amid fears it could be
used for spying. | 2:04:46 | 2:04:49 | |
Secrets of global significance... | 2:04:49 | 2:04:52 | |
At Britain's National
Cyber Security Centre, | 2:04:52 | 2:04:55 | |
they say they've not seen actual
proof of such espionage, | 2:04:55 | 2:04:58 | |
but they've told government
departments not to use Kaspersky | 2:04:58 | 2:05:02 | |
for systems containing
sensitive data. | 2:05:02 | 2:05:07 | |
This is specifically about entities
that may be of interest | 2:05:07 | 2:05:10 | |
to the Russian government
and so for us that's | 2:05:10 | 2:05:12 | |
about national security
systems in government, | 2:05:12 | 2:05:15 | |
of which there are
a very small number. | 2:05:15 | 2:05:17 | |
Kaspersky Lab has already denied
allegations that it's been used | 2:05:17 | 2:05:19 | |
for espionage in America. | 2:05:19 | 2:05:23 | |
We don't do anything wrong. | 2:05:23 | 2:05:25 | |
They are just speculating
about some rumours, opinions | 2:05:25 | 2:05:28 | |
and there is zero of the hard data. | 2:05:28 | 2:05:37 | |
400 million people use Kaspersky
products around the world, | 2:05:37 | 2:05:40 | |
but officials say they're not
telling the general | 2:05:40 | 2:05:42 | |
public to stop using it. | 2:05:42 | 2:05:45 | |
Kaspersky Lab denies any wrongdoing,
but today's warning is another sign | 2:05:45 | 2:05:48 | |
about growing fears over the risk
posed by Russia. | 2:05:48 | 2:05:57 | |
The conduct of two
former police officers | 2:05:57 | 2:05:59 | |
who leaked allegations that
pornographic images had been found | 2:05:59 | 2:06:02 | |
on the computer of the now
First Secretary of State, | 2:06:02 | 2:06:04 | |
Damian Green, have been
criticised by the former | 2:06:04 | 2:06:06 | |
Attorney General, Dominic Grieve. | 2:06:06 | 2:06:09 | |
Mr Green has repeated his insistence
that he didn't view the material. | 2:06:09 | 2:06:12 | |
Our political correspondent
Tom Barton joins us now. | 2:06:12 | 2:06:21 | |
Bring us up with the latest
developments. | 2:06:21 | 2:06:29 | |
After yesterday's further
allegations by a second for the | 2:06:29 | 2:06:33 | |
Metropolitan police officers
surrounding claims that pornography | 2:06:33 | 2:06:35 | |
was found on Damian Green's computer
after his parliamentary office was | 2:06:35 | 2:06:42 | |
raided in 2008, Conservative MPs
have been rallying to his support, | 2:06:42 | 2:06:47 | |
including the Brexit secretary David
Davis, who yesterday told Downing | 2:06:47 | 2:06:51 | |
Street they should not sack him over
these allegations. Then last night | 2:06:51 | 2:06:57 | |
the former Attorney General, Dominic
Grieve, raised concerns about the | 2:06:57 | 2:07:01 | |
conduct of the two officers who have
been making these allegations. They | 2:07:01 | 2:07:07 | |
choose to put material that an
ordinary citizen would be prohibited | 2:07:07 | 2:07:11 | |
from acquiring under data protection
rules into the public domain on | 2:07:11 | 2:07:15 | |
their own judgment. There is a way
of dealing with that. If you think | 2:07:15 | 2:07:19 | |
something is relevant, do it by
proper, official means. You do not | 2:07:19 | 2:07:24 | |
go freelancing as these officers
have done and it has the smack of a | 2:07:24 | 2:07:28 | |
police state about it. Damian Green
is to reason's me's second closest | 2:07:28 | 2:07:36 | |
ally, the second most important
person sitting around the table. | 2:07:36 | 2:07:40 | |
This matters because it pits his
denial of these allegations against | 2:07:40 | 2:07:45 | |
the Word of two former police
officers. A senior government | 2:07:45 | 2:07:51 | |
official, Sue Gray, is looking into
these allegations as well as | 2:07:51 | 2:07:55 | |
separate allegations of the
inappropriate behaviour by Damian | 2:07:55 | 2:07:59 | |
Green towards a Conservative
activist, allegations which Damian | 2:07:59 | 2:08:03 | |
Green also denies, and her report
could well be on the desk of the | 2:08:03 | 2:08:06 | |
Prime Minister within days. | 2:08:06 | 2:08:10 | |
Pope Francis is spending his final
day in Bangladesh after using his | 2:08:10 | 2:08:13 | |
highly-anticipated Asia trip
to express support for | 2:08:13 | 2:08:15 | |
the Rohingya Muslims. | 2:08:15 | 2:08:17 | |
Yesterday, the Pope met a group
of refugees and referred to them | 2:08:17 | 2:08:19 | |
using the word "Rohingya"
for the first time. | 2:08:19 | 2:08:25 | |
He had been criticised for not using
the term on his earlier visit to | 2:08:25 | 2:08:28 | |
Myanmar. | 2:08:28 | 2:08:35 | |
White House officials have indicated
that President Trump is likely | 2:08:35 | 2:08:37 | |
to announce next week
that the United States | 2:08:37 | 2:08:39 | |
will recognise Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel. | 2:08:39 | 2:08:41 | |
The status of Jerusalem
is highly contentious, | 2:08:41 | 2:08:43 | |
with both Israelis and Palestinians
claiming all or part | 2:08:43 | 2:08:45 | |
of the city as their capital. | 2:08:45 | 2:08:46 | |
Critics have warned
that the decision by Donald Trump | 2:08:46 | 2:08:48 | |
could jeopardise peace negotiations. | 2:08:48 | 2:08:50 | |
It's feared there could be hundreds
of job losses at Toys R Us | 2:08:50 | 2:08:54 | |
after the retailer announced it
would close around | 2:08:54 | 2:08:56 | |
a quarter of its UK stores. | 2:08:56 | 2:08:57 | |
The move, which would see
the closure of 25 shops, | 2:08:57 | 2:08:59 | |
is part of a deal by the owners
to renegotiate debts | 2:08:59 | 2:09:02 | |
with its landlords. | 2:09:02 | 2:09:03 | |
It's thought Christmas trading
and gift vouchers will not be | 2:09:03 | 2:09:05 | |
affected by the move. | 2:09:05 | 2:09:13 | |
Those are the main stories this
morning. | 2:09:13 | 2:09:19 | |
We've learnt so much about special
educational needs here on Breakfast | 2:09:19 | 2:09:22 | |
this week and have discovered
a record number of parents | 2:09:22 | 2:09:25 | |
are fighting for the support
their child requires at tribunals. | 2:09:25 | 2:09:27 | |
We've found out there's been
a staggering increase in the number | 2:09:27 | 2:09:30 | |
of parents who have taken their kids
out of school because they felt | 2:09:30 | 2:09:33 | |
their needs aren't being met. | 2:09:33 | 2:09:34 | |
We've also learnt so many more
children will be affected by such | 2:09:34 | 2:09:37 | |
issues over the course of their life
than previously thought - | 2:09:37 | 2:09:44 | |
Today we are launching a week-long
series to look at what life is like | 2:09:44 | 2:09:48 | |
for our most vulnerable children.
Children with special needs are | 2:09:48 | 2:09:52 | |
being let down by the education
system. I do not think most people | 2:09:52 | 2:09:56 | |
will understand unless you are a
parent of a child with special needs | 2:09:56 | 2:10:01 | |
how much of a battle it is to get
the appropriate support for your | 2:10:01 | 2:10:04 | |
child. Cruel, dramatic, heart
wrenching. Diane describes the | 2:10:04 | 2:10:09 | |
process she has gone through, two
years fighting two Tribunal is to | 2:10:09 | 2:10:13 | |
get the right support for her
daughter. It does not make sense | 2:10:13 | 2:10:17 | |
what we have been through. Many
parents tell as they also have had | 2:10:17 | 2:10:23 | |
to pay for financial independent
advice, lawyers and experts, and | 2:10:23 | 2:10:26 | |
emotional cost which cannot be
quantified. Life with disabilities | 2:10:26 | 2:10:32 | |
is a fight. I once said many years
ago to the social worker when she | 2:10:32 | 2:10:35 | |
was small if something happens to
me, put her in the grave with me | 2:10:35 | 2:10:41 | |
because I do not feel in the past 15
years we have made much of an | 2:10:41 | 2:10:45 | |
improvement as far as services are
concerned for these vulnerable kids. | 2:10:45 | 2:10:52 | |
Services are overstretched, been
reduced, rising referrals and | 2:10:52 | 2:10:57 | |
unacceptable long waiting times. We
have not had any response from the | 2:10:57 | 2:11:00 | |
government but that is not through
lack of trying. Nobody will front up | 2:11:00 | 2:11:05 | |
about this. I have a response from a
teaching assistant who is working in | 2:11:05 | 2:11:10 | |
outstanding school who says we do
not have the funding or the | 2:11:10 | 2:11:13 | |
facilities to allow them to
flourish. My staffing is so low | 2:11:13 | 2:11:17 | |
because of the cuts I have had to
make over the last three years that | 2:11:17 | 2:11:21 | |
I now have to phone parents up and
say, sorry, I cannot have your son | 2:11:21 | 2:11:25 | |
or daughter in today.
# What have you done today to make | 2:11:25 | 2:11:32 | |
you feel proud... Learning
difficulties and autism. A speech | 2:11:32 | 2:11:39 | |
impediment. You are just phenomenal
kids and we absolutely love you even | 2:11:39 | 2:11:49 | |
though our family puts the funk into
dysfunctional, you guys rock. And he | 2:11:49 | 2:11:55 | |
has been here it is a complete
turnaround for him. He has friends, | 2:11:55 | 2:11:59 | |
he can count, he is recognising the
signs and trying to read, things | 2:11:59 | 2:12:03 | |
they told us he would never be able
to do. This is about helping | 2:12:03 | 2:12:09 | |
children fulfil their potential. I
am proud of getting my first job. | 2:12:09 | 2:12:16 | |
The doctor told me I would never
talk. I am proud of that. Sophie has | 2:12:16 | 2:12:26 | |
been in touch saying I think that
school is amazing, the staff do an | 2:12:26 | 2:12:30 | |
amazing job, it does not pay much,
people do the job for the love of | 2:12:30 | 2:12:35 | |
it. Thanks everyone for cheerleading
as. Keep saying it for Manchester. | 2:12:35 | 2:12:41 | |
We have had an enormous amount of
interest in this this week. And we | 2:12:41 | 2:12:47 | |
do read all the e-mails and tweets.
# What have you done today to make | 2:12:47 | 2:13:00 | |
you feel proud? | 2:13:00 | 2:13:09 | |
You have been with us throughout
this series. I am quite emotional. A | 2:13:09 | 2:13:16 | |
lot of the stories are a very
emotional. Joe had his moment, but | 2:13:16 | 2:13:21 | |
in amongst all of that and inspiring
stories there are a lot of | 2:13:21 | 2:13:25 | |
frustrations. For you as a
journalist there is the lack of | 2:13:25 | 2:13:29 | |
government representation. We wanted
a minister here on the sofa with us | 2:13:29 | 2:13:36 | |
and to say come on, let's talk about
this. This is a work in progress, we | 2:13:36 | 2:13:40 | |
will not let it go, we will work on
that. The government offered | 2:13:40 | 2:13:45 | |
something, a moment, one question.
But not enough time. We wanted to | 2:13:45 | 2:13:53 | |
have a big discussion about this,
this is serious stuff. We wanted a | 2:13:53 | 2:13:58 | |
significant amount of time to go
through this and we wanted not just | 2:13:58 | 2:14:03 | |
the sound bite. Work in progress,
let's take a moment. We always say | 2:14:03 | 2:14:09 | |
so many people have responded. This
has been like nothing else. No story | 2:14:09 | 2:14:15 | |
has touched people in the same way
that this one has. Many people have | 2:14:15 | 2:14:18 | |
got in touch. Can I share a couple
with you. Barry was intact and said | 2:14:18 | 2:14:25 | |
this. We lived a nightmare,
timescales ignored, expert evidence | 2:14:25 | 2:14:30 | |
ignored, their decisions based on
nothing other than their ill | 2:14:30 | 2:14:33 | |
informed thoughts and budget all
while our daughter had no education. | 2:14:33 | 2:14:38 | |
Catherine says I and many other
parents resonate with this, there is | 2:14:38 | 2:14:42 | |
so little provision for the future,
moreover the worry of real care and | 2:14:42 | 2:14:47 | |
understanding and love of our
children when they become adults and | 2:14:47 | 2:14:49 | |
we are not there was it keeps me
awake at night. Our greatest fear is | 2:14:49 | 2:14:55 | |
being able to secure a safe and
happy future for our precious girl | 2:14:55 | 2:15:00 | |
without us. We asked people out
there to send their positive | 2:15:00 | 2:15:03 | |
thoughts. We wanted them to send
them to the people who made a | 2:15:03 | 2:15:08 | |
difference in their lives because
there are so many people and we have | 2:15:08 | 2:15:11 | |
been cheering them on social media
all week. Can I take a moment to do | 2:15:11 | 2:15:16 | |
that? One goes to Conor sparrowhawk,
a young man who died in an | 2:15:16 | 2:15:22 | |
assessment treatment unit. Chatting
to his mother on this sofa made | 2:15:22 | 2:15:27 | |
breakfast do more than we have ever
done on social disabilities. So many | 2:15:27 | 2:15:36 | |
people said, the media never talks
about this. He made a significant | 2:15:36 | 2:15:42 | |
difference. Another one goes to Joe
who we talked about, who we saw in | 2:15:42 | 2:15:49 | |
that report. He is amazing. He said
I want to shout out to all my pals | 2:15:49 | 2:15:54 | |
in Tesco where he does work
experience. Also vary on the front | 2:15:54 | 2:16:00 | |
row in that choir singing his heart
out. He was such a quiet little boy | 2:16:00 | 2:16:04 | |
he hardly spoke, but he sang the
loudest. He smiled the widest and | 2:16:04 | 2:16:10 | |
looking at him yesterday in that
choir it maybe think about all those | 2:16:10 | 2:16:16 | |
parents fighting for something
better and it made me think about | 2:16:16 | 2:16:19 | |
the children sitting at home
separated from their friends and it | 2:16:19 | 2:16:22 | |
made me think we will carry on
shining a light. The boss agrees and | 2:16:22 | 2:16:27 | |
we will keep on at it and I will
shut up. It has touched you greatly | 2:16:27 | 2:16:32 | |
and that is what the stories do to
us. Thank you. | 2:16:32 | 2:16:39 | |
Let's talk to Darren. It is warming
up a little bit. One day? | 2:16:39 | 2:16:45 | |
It is cold across the eastern side
of England and it will turn milder | 2:16:48 | 2:16:58 | |
this weekend. But we have got a lot
more cloud this weekend and it is | 2:16:58 | 2:17:02 | |
big enough to give as rain and
drizzle from time to time. It is a | 2:17:02 | 2:17:08 | |
dull picture, cloudy skies for many
of us, rain and drizzle in East | 2:17:08 | 2:17:13 | |
Anglia and the south-east. Dab in
the South West. Rain coming in | 2:17:13 | 2:17:17 | |
towards the north of Scotland. We
will hang onto cloudy skies. Grizzly | 2:17:17 | 2:17:23 | |
showers in Wales and the south-west
and perhaps in the Midlands. You see | 2:17:23 | 2:17:28 | |
temperatures struggling up the
eastern side of England. Five or six | 2:17:28 | 2:17:32 | |
this afternoon, still quite cold.
Sunshine in north-eastern parts of | 2:17:32 | 2:17:38 | |
England and the Pennines and a
glimmer of brightness in south-west | 2:17:38 | 2:17:41 | |
Scotland. The wet weather is over
the Highlands. This evening and | 2:17:41 | 2:17:49 | |
overnight that patchy, light rain
thinks further south and moves away | 2:17:49 | 2:17:52 | |
from Scotland into Northern Ireland
Wales, northern England, the | 2:17:52 | 2:17:57 | |
Midlands and East Anglia. It keeps
the temperatures up, but behind that | 2:17:57 | 2:18:02 | |
in Scotland it could turn rather
chilly, otherwise a mild night | 2:18:02 | 2:18:06 | |
ahead. The cold weather has gone
into the near continent and we have | 2:18:06 | 2:18:13 | |
got high pressure out towards the
West. But around the top of it there | 2:18:13 | 2:18:18 | |
is mild air. It will be chilly start
in eastern Scotland, sunshine for a | 2:18:18 | 2:18:23 | |
while in eastern Scotland. A better
chance of seeing sunshine in | 2:18:23 | 2:18:28 | |
England, improving in Wales and East
Anglia and maybe eventually in the | 2:18:28 | 2:18:34 | |
south. Temperatures will be nine or
ten. On the western side of the UK | 2:18:34 | 2:18:38 | |
it is cloudy and dial and a bit
damp. We start the new week with | 2:18:38 | 2:18:44 | |
cloudy skies and the best chance of
seeing sunshine in the eastern part | 2:18:44 | 2:18:49 | |
of the UK. Mild at nine or ten. In
mid week it could get wet and then | 2:18:49 | 2:18:55 | |
cold air returns towards the end. | 2:18:55 | 2:18:59 | |
From the birthplace of grime music
to the site where stainless steel | 2:18:59 | 2:19:02 | |
was invented, these are just some
of the locations that could be | 2:19:02 | 2:19:05 | |
celebrated as part of a new memorial
scheme from Historic England. | 2:19:05 | 2:19:13 | |
Do you know where stainless steel
was invented? Well, the answer is no | 2:19:13 | 2:19:18 | |
and I was going to make a guess
because I do not. That is why they | 2:19:18 | 2:19:23 | |
want to draw attention to this. | 2:19:23 | 2:19:25 | |
That is why they want
to draw attention to this. | 2:19:25 | 2:19:27 | |
The heritage group wants to find
places, people and events which have | 2:19:27 | 2:19:30 | |
played a part in shaping the country
but aren't widely | 2:19:30 | 2:19:32 | |
recognised at the moment. | 2:19:32 | 2:19:33 | |
Here to tell us more
is Celia Richardson | 2:19:33 | 2:19:35 | |
from Historic England. | 2:19:35 | 2:19:36 | |
Do you know where stainless steel | 2:19:36 | 2:19:37 | |
Do you know where stainless steel
was invented? Sheffield I think. Of | 2:19:37 | 2:19:44 | |
course. Is it because we have not
got enough plaques, what is the | 2:19:44 | 2:19:50 | |
point to this? This is a scheme to
enable communities to mark out the | 2:19:50 | 2:19:54 | |
spots where history was made. We are
quite small country, very rich in | 2:19:54 | 2:20:00 | |
firsts, inventions and the founding
of things from a couple of millennia | 2:20:00 | 2:20:06 | |
right up to the present day we have
got popular culture. It is important | 2:20:06 | 2:20:10 | |
for a sense of identity and pride
and important to local economies and | 2:20:10 | 2:20:15 | |
tourism and there are a lot of
passionate groups around the country | 2:20:15 | 2:20:18 | |
who have told us this is what they
want to do. Can you give us a sense | 2:20:18 | 2:20:24 | |
of what the threshold is? If
somebody says the man who | 2:20:24 | 2:20:27 | |
invented... Spark plugs. The
lollipop stick. What is the | 2:20:27 | 2:20:35 | |
threshold for what is important? A
lot of our statues and plaques are | 2:20:35 | 2:20:44 | |
about one person and what we are
interested in is the sort of history | 2:20:44 | 2:20:48 | |
that has happened on a sport that
has involved groups of people. One | 2:20:48 | 2:20:53 | |
of the longest-running campaigns in
the country has been by the Peterloo | 2:20:53 | 2:20:57 | |
campaigners. They want a permanent
memorial to the Peterloo massacre. | 2:20:57 | 2:21:02 | |
It was a defining moment for the
struggle for democracy and 15 people | 2:21:02 | 2:21:07 | |
were killed and it has taken a long
time to get this memorial to come to | 2:21:07 | 2:21:11 | |
fruition. It is happening now and we
are delighted. We want to make it | 2:21:11 | 2:21:16 | |
easier for communities. The
threshold will be decided by a panel | 2:21:16 | 2:21:20 | |
and we want to help them. But it is
about things that local communities | 2:21:20 | 2:21:25 | |
find important. It might be the
birthplace of ska music, something | 2:21:25 | 2:21:31 | |
like the Peterloo massacre. We have
not decided exactly what the | 2:21:31 | 2:21:34 | |
threshold will be. We are still in
the research stage and we are | 2:21:34 | 2:21:38 | |
uncovering a lot of local passion
and people wanting to mark this out. | 2:21:38 | 2:21:43 | |
It is a storytelling job as well.
You want to stand on the spot where | 2:21:43 | 2:21:47 | |
history happened, but you cannot do
it unless somebody tells you. You | 2:21:47 | 2:21:58 | |
mentioned it would help tourism.
Basically communities decide how to | 2:21:58 | 2:22:00 | |
define themselves and once you have
that narrative that is how you sell | 2:22:00 | 2:22:03 | |
yourself to be on the trail. We have
not even been to far-flung ends of | 2:22:03 | 2:22:11 | |
our own country, but yet when people
come here they say, you should go | 2:22:11 | 2:22:15 | |
there, but it is hard to cover. You
need to prove you are attractive and | 2:22:15 | 2:22:21 | |
worth visiting. You need to think
why your place is special and your | 2:22:21 | 2:22:24 | |
local heritage. A lot of places do
this. A packet of their stories and | 2:22:24 | 2:22:31 | |
history well. But there are so many
places where we do not know what has | 2:22:31 | 2:22:34 | |
gone on. Local communities are the
people we are trying to help get | 2:22:34 | 2:22:41 | |
these stories out to help places and
their sense of identity. When will | 2:22:41 | 2:22:48 | |
we see it? We are starting next
year. Any ideas, send them on a blue | 2:22:48 | 2:22:55 | |
plaque to be busy Breakfast. Or on
an e-mail or Twitter. Celia will be | 2:22:55 | 2:23:01 | |
coming back to us. | 2:23:01 | 2:23:03 | |
Celia will be coming back to us. | 2:23:03 | 2:23:04 | |
You're watching Breakfast. | 2:23:04 | 2:23:06 | |
Time now for a look
at the newspapers. | 2:23:06 | 2:23:07 | |
The writer and broadcaster,
Simon Fanshawe, is here to tell us | 2:23:07 | 2:23:10 | |
what's caught his eye. | 2:23:10 | 2:23:15 | |
He is clearing his throat. I want to
know who invented the cardboard box. | 2:23:15 | 2:23:23 | |
Every child up to the age of five,
that is what matters. The | 2:23:23 | 2:23:28 | |
information is probably out there
somewhere. I hope so. You said you | 2:23:28 | 2:23:33 | |
have got a cold. On the front page
of the Telegraph is as lemon and | 2:23:33 | 2:23:38 | |
honey. It is either that or Pilates
and roast tofu. You pick out what | 2:23:38 | 2:23:49 | |
you want. There is one story, this
guy is called Doctor Oliver | 2:23:49 | 2:23:55 | |
Bevington. He is chairman of the
Royal College of paediatrics and | 2:23:55 | 2:24:02 | |
Child health Chinese committee and
he says there is no evidence that | 2:24:02 | 2:24:06 | |
cough medicines work. He says the
danger is you could unintentionally | 2:24:06 | 2:24:10 | |
overdose your children with
paracetamol. There it is, hot honey | 2:24:10 | 2:24:15 | |
and lemon. The part of taking cough
medicine is the thought you think | 2:24:15 | 2:24:21 | |
you are doing something. Maybe
Doctor Watson will tell me it was | 2:24:21 | 2:24:30 | |
the natural progress of the cough
going away, but I feel like it has | 2:24:30 | 2:24:35 | |
got better. Where are you going
next? I am not the only one who | 2:24:35 | 2:24:42 | |
wondered about this. I have been
wondering why has all this stuff | 2:24:42 | 2:24:46 | |
about Damian Green suddenly
resurfaced? I am not going to talk | 2:24:46 | 2:24:52 | |
about the allegations and the
so-called pornography, but why has | 2:24:52 | 2:24:56 | |
it suddenly come back after such a
long time. The Guardian and a number | 2:24:56 | 2:25:00 | |
of papers have done this and it is a
fascinating story. It is a grudge | 2:25:00 | 2:25:04 | |
and it is about 11 years old. In
2006 a civil servant, Christopher | 2:25:04 | 2:25:11 | |
Galley, approached David Davies
originally, Damian Green's boss, and | 2:25:11 | 2:25:18 | |
said I am a conservative, I want to
help the Conservatives. He got a job | 2:25:18 | 2:25:23 | |
in Jacqui Smith's office, the then
Home Secretary. He leaked document | 2:25:23 | 2:25:27 | |
which were then used by Damian Green
to get stories in Conservatives | 2:25:27 | 2:25:32 | |
supported newspapers. Move on and
there was a stink about this and the | 2:25:32 | 2:25:38 | |
leaks were investigated. The person
investigating the leaks was this | 2:25:38 | 2:25:43 | |
policeman, Bob quick, who is now
coming back about allegations about | 2:25:43 | 2:25:47 | |
Damian Green's computer and so on.
You remember that Damian Green's | 2:25:47 | 2:25:52 | |
office was invaded and there was a
big controversy about whether or not | 2:25:52 | 2:25:57 | |
a Parliamentary office should be
invaded by the police. What then | 2:25:57 | 2:26:02 | |
happened was there was a story that
was designed to blacken the name of | 2:26:02 | 2:26:06 | |
Bob Quick planted in the newspapers
about some business that his wife | 2:26:06 | 2:26:11 | |
was running, a wedding chauffeur
business, and he alleged, which he | 2:26:11 | 2:26:18 | |
subsequently withdrew, that it had
been planted by Damian Green in the | 2:26:18 | 2:26:22 | |
newspapers. He was appointed to
investigate the leaks, he exposed | 2:26:22 | 2:26:27 | |
Damian Green, he then thought he had
been blackened by a story in the | 2:26:27 | 2:26:30 | |
press and he has nurtured this
thing. So when these allegations | 2:26:30 | 2:26:35 | |
came up about Damian Green from
somebody called Kate Moss Beek who | 2:26:35 | 2:26:39 | |
alleges Damian Green was
inappropriate with her, he jumped | 2:26:39 | 2:26:43 | |
back on the bandwagon. We cannot
speculate on someone's motivations | 2:26:43 | 2:26:47 | |
for saying what they have said, but
we cannot know someone's reasons | 2:26:47 | 2:26:53 | |
behind it. No, we cannot, but I
guess my point is Bob Quick and | 2:26:53 | 2:27:00 | |
Damian Green have had a relationship
over various things for a long time. | 2:27:00 | 2:27:04 | |
According to the Guardian. You
suddenly wonder where do these | 2:27:04 | 2:27:10 | |
stories come from? And then somebody
joins the dots for you and I find it | 2:27:10 | 2:27:13 | |
fascinating. So often these things
are just arguments. So we talk about | 2:27:13 | 2:27:23 | |
pronouncing tomato and potato?
Speech science lecturer at the | 2:27:23 | 2:27:28 | |
University of York has done some
analysis on things like Alexa and | 2:27:28 | 2:27:35 | |
all these boys response mechanisms.
He has discovered they do not | 2:27:35 | 2:27:39 | |
respond to things like Yorkshire
accent and Cockney accent. What is | 2:27:39 | 2:27:46 | |
happening is that the speech
recognition things are conniving the | 2:27:46 | 2:27:50 | |
American pronunciation of tomato
rather than the English one. They | 2:27:50 | 2:27:59 | |
are programmed by Americans and so
they are dictated by American | 2:27:59 | 2:28:04 | |
pronunciation. The chairman of the
ITV wrote a story the other day | 2:28:04 | 2:28:08 | |
saying he had been in a friend's
house and there had been some rock | 2:28:08 | 2:28:11 | |
music on which he had not liked and
he turned to Alexa and said please | 2:28:11 | 2:28:17 | |
show pan. Alexa came back and said,
there is no shopping nearby. You | 2:28:17 | 2:28:25 | |
will be back in an hour's time. | 2:28:25 | 2:28:35 | |
This is where we leave
viewers on BBC One, as it's | 2:28:35 | 2:28:38 | |
time for the build up
to the Rugby League World Cup Final, | 2:28:38 | 2:28:44 | |
which kicks off in half an hour. | 2:28:44 | 2:28:46 | |
We are on BBC Two and also
on the News Channel | 2:28:46 | 2:28:48 | |
until ten this morning. | 2:28:48 | 2:28:50 | |
Still to come on Breakfast; | 2:28:50 | 2:28:51 | |
It's the subject of a new film
starring Julia Roberts | 2:28:51 | 2:28:53 | |
and Owen Wilson and as a new survey
suggests half of children | 2:28:53 | 2:28:56 | |
with facial disfigurements
are bullied at school, | 2:28:56 | 2:28:58 | |
we'll be asking what more can be
done to support them. | 2:28:58 | 2:29:01 |
