0:00:05 > 0:00:06Hello, this is Breakfast,

0:00:06 > 0:00:10with Chris Mason and Katherine Downes.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13A new drive to help children and young people

0:00:13 > 0:00:14with mental health problems.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Ministers want faster access to treatment and specialist

0:00:16 > 0:00:19support in schools and colleges.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Good morning, it's Sunday the 3rd of December.

0:00:36 > 0:00:37Also this morning:

0:00:37 > 0:00:38The Government's entire Social Mobility Commission

0:00:38 > 0:00:41resigns in protest at what it says is a lack of progress

0:00:41 > 0:00:42towards a fairer Britain.

0:00:42 > 0:00:47Bolstering the blue belt.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50More stretches of the British coastline get special status to help

0:00:50 > 0:00:55protect vulnerable wildlife and habitats.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58In sport, we'll have the latest from the Ashes overnight.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00An early wicket for England but Australia enjoy the better

0:01:00 > 0:01:03of the opening session on day two in Adelaide.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06At eight weeks old, baby Charlie was the youngest person

0:01:06 > 0:01:09on the transplant waiting list, now he's got a new heart.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12It's 50 years ago today since the first ever heart

0:01:12 > 0:01:14transplant, we'll find out what's changed since then

0:01:14 > 0:01:18and what challenges lie ahead.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21And Darren has the weather.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30Hello, good morning. A lot of this damp and drizzly weather will clear

0:01:30 > 0:01:33away this morning, allowing skies to Brighton, a bit more sunshine around

0:01:33 > 0:01:38as well but tonight could turn a bit colder. Join me later for all the

0:01:38 > 0:01:43details Ash to brighten up. -- to brighten up.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Good morning.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45First, our main story.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Children will be able to get access to mental health support at schools

0:01:48 > 0:01:50or colleges in England under plans announced

0:01:50 > 0:01:52by the government this morning.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54£300 million of funding will be made available in a joint

0:01:54 > 0:01:57initiative between the departments of Health and Education.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Campaigners say the measures are welcome, but long overdue.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Edward Curwen reports.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05I didn't have any therapy,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08I didn't have any therapy, it was just to talk about things...CNR,

0:02:08 > 0:02:13not her real name, has had a leading disorder and depression for the last

0:02:13 > 0:02:16five years but for nearly half of that time she was waiting for the

0:02:16 > 0:02:20right kind of help.I just felt I've never been properly treated for the

0:02:20 > 0:02:24mental side, they just sort of put me in hospital and my physical side

0:02:24 > 0:02:29is bad and then to treat anything else and they wonder why it keeps

0:02:29 > 0:02:34happening.She says once support was offered in a hospital, that service

0:02:34 > 0:02:39was still hundreds of miles away from home. Just over a month ago, a

0:02:39 > 0:02:42review by the Care Quality Commission found that young people

0:02:42 > 0:02:45were facing long waiting times and unequal access to mental health

0:02:45 > 0:02:51services that could be put in their lives at risk. Now the government's

0:02:51 > 0:02:55allocated £300 million from the departments of Health and Education.

0:02:55 > 0:03:00The measures include the piloting of? Four-week waiting time for

0:03:00 > 0:03:04young people to get treatment. For all primary and secondary schools to

0:03:04 > 0:03:07get mental health awareness training and you joined up mental health

0:03:07 > 0:03:12support teams through schools and the NHS.The promise we want to make

0:03:12 > 0:03:16two parents up and down the country is that if your child has a mental

0:03:16 > 0:03:21health issue, we want to make sure that you get the help much much

0:03:21 > 0:03:24earlier than happens at the moment and if possible we want to work

0:03:24 > 0:03:30within the school system to prevent that condition deteriorating.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Labour, though, says it questions whether the plans will enable every

0:03:33 > 0:03:38school in England to provide support, while the charity Young

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Minds says there's still a long way to go with chronic underfunding for

0:03:42 > 0:03:45so long. Edward Curwen, BBC News.

0:03:45 > 0:03:51And in just over an hour we'll be speaking to the Royal College

0:03:51 > 0:03:53of Psychiatrists about this, that's at 7:10am.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55All four board members of the government's

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Social Mobility Commission have stood down in protest

0:03:57 > 0:03:59at what they say is a lack

0:03:59 > 0:04:01of progress towards a fairer Britain.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Ex-Labour minister Alan Milburn, who chairs

0:04:03 > 0:04:05the commission, said he had little hope the current government

0:04:05 > 0:04:08could make the necessary progress, but Downing Street insists

0:04:08 > 0:04:10it is working to provide opportunities for all.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Here's our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18When Theresa May became Prime Minister she stood in Downing Street

0:04:18 > 0:04:23and made a promise.The government I lead will be driven not by the

0:04:23 > 0:04:29interests of the privileged few but by yours. When it comes to

0:04:29 > 0:04:33opportunity, we weren't in trench the advantages of the fortunate few.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37We will do everything we can to help everybody, whatever your background,

0:04:37 > 0:04:43to go as far as your talents will take you.But the government's

0:04:43 > 0:04:46senior adviser in improving social mobility has now left his job with

0:04:46 > 0:04:50immediate effect, saying he had little hope the government could

0:04:50 > 0:04:55make progress in bringing about a fairer Britain. In his resignation

0:04:55 > 0:04:58letter, Alan Milburn said the government was:

0:05:07 > 0:05:11A sentiment he shared on BBC Breakfast last week.There's a lot

0:05:11 > 0:05:15of talk around from government about healing division, promoting social

0:05:15 > 0:05:20justice, but right now it's heads seem to be consumed by Brexit, for

0:05:20 > 0:05:23understandable reasons, and it doesn't seem to have the headspace

0:05:23 > 0:05:28to inject the necessary energy or focus into addressing these issues.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32His departure, along with three senior members of his team, has been

0:05:32 > 0:05:37described as a loss by some campaigners. Downing Street said it

0:05:37 > 0:05:41had already told Mr Milburn had planned to appoint a new chair as

0:05:41 > 0:05:45his term of office had ended. A spokesman said the government was

0:05:45 > 0:05:49committed to fighting injustice and had made good progress. Alex

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Forsyth, BBC News.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Let's speak to our political correspondent, Jonathan Blake.

0:05:55 > 0:06:01We heard in that report Theresa May making those promises when she was

0:06:01 > 0:06:05elected, where does this leave her now?In a precarious position and

0:06:05 > 0:06:10it's undoubtedly bad news for the Prime Minister, as you say and as we

0:06:10 > 0:06:14heard in that report, tackling social inequality was to be Theresa

0:06:14 > 0:06:18May's main mission and she made that very clear when she took office but

0:06:18 > 0:06:22you only have to look at some of the things Alan Milburn has said in his

0:06:22 > 0:06:25resignation letter and in an interview he gave with the Sunday

0:06:25 > 0:06:31Times this morning, in his eyes she has failed. He says there's been

0:06:31 > 0:06:34indecision, dysfunctionality and a lack of leadership. He's clear

0:06:34 > 0:06:41there, saying getting anything done in this area has been like pushing

0:06:41 > 0:06:44water up the hill and Theresa May has been talking the talk but not

0:06:44 > 0:06:49walking the walk. Downing Street has said the government is committed to

0:06:49 > 0:06:52tackling social mobility, and it points to things like doubling free

0:06:52 > 0:06:57childcare in England and increasing the living wage but this adds to a

0:06:57 > 0:07:00period of difficult time for the government and it shows the Prime

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Minister Theresa May that even when you're in power there's so much you

0:07:03 > 0:07:08can control.Thanks very much, we will speak to you later.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Leading Brexit supporters, including former cabinet ministers,

0:07:10 > 0:07:13are urging the Prime Minister not to settle Britain's Brexit divorce

0:07:13 > 0:07:18bill unless the EU agrees to a series of demands.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20A letter organised by the Leave Means Leave campaign

0:07:20 > 0:07:24group says the conditions include the UK and the EU agreeing a free

0:07:24 > 0:07:26trade deal before the end of next March.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Donald Trump is facing accusations of obstructing justice

0:07:29 > 0:07:32after suggesting that he knew his former National Security Adviser,

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Michael Flynn, had lied to the FBI before he fired him.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37The President's comments in a tweet yesterday

0:07:37 > 0:07:39contracticed his previous account and prompted claims he knew

0:07:39 > 0:07:42about the deception when he asked former FBI director James Comey

0:07:42 > 0:07:51to drop his investigation into Mr Flynn's contacts with Russia.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first ever

0:07:54 > 0:08:07human heart transplant.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10The procedure, completed by surgeon Christiaan Barnard, raised a number

0:08:10 > 0:08:11of ethical questions at the time.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Since then, transplants have developed and today there are around

0:08:14 > 0:08:17250 patients in the UK waiting for a new heart,

0:08:17 > 0:08:19and almost 200 receiving one each year.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21New measures to protect parts of Britain's coastline and around

0:08:21 > 0:08:23150,000 rare birds will be announced today.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26The UK's so-called blue belt, which protects marine areas,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28will be extended to several parts of the country.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32The hope is that it will give animal and bird life greater protection,

0:08:32 > 0:08:37as Tom Burridge reports.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Parts of Britain's coastline are rich. Diverse habitats and important

0:08:41 > 0:08:47breeding grounds for a wide variety of birds. So the government wants to

0:08:47 > 0:08:52protect them. We know about Greenbelt, now more coastline will

0:08:52 > 0:09:00be classified as blue belt to protect certain species. Like these

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Manx shearwaters, rescued a few years ago in Pembrokeshire. These

0:09:03 > 0:09:09birds are also found in the Irish Sea off Anglesea, an area which will

0:09:09 > 0:09:14now have the new protected status. So too will 24 miles of Cornish

0:09:14 > 0:09:19coastline. It means that in total 650 square miles of sea and

0:09:19 > 0:09:26coastline around the UK will now be classified as blue belt. Lundy off

0:09:26 > 0:09:32the coast of Devon, already a Marine conservation zone. Important work to

0:09:32 > 0:09:41protect the life in and above our waters. Tom Burridge, BBC News.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46That's got to be good news after the Blue Planet and all the stuff we saw

0:09:46 > 0:09:47in the sea there!

0:09:47 > 0:09:50If you look to the sky this afternoon or overnight you could be

0:09:50 > 0:09:53in for a treat because the moon will appear far bigger

0:09:53 > 0:09:54and brighter than usual.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57The full moon in December, which you may not know

0:09:57 > 0:09:59is traditionally called a Cold Moon, will be closer

0:09:59 > 0:10:01to earth than usual in its orbit.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04That means it qualifies as a super moon.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07It'll be brightest at midnight when it's at its highest point

0:10:07 > 0:10:07above the horizon.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Nasa has called this weekend the first in a super moon trilogy

0:10:11 > 0:10:13because over the next couple of months the phenomenon

0:10:13 > 0:10:15will happen twice more.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19You know what, I was doing a bit of research about this earlier... That

0:10:19 > 0:10:24is good, isn't it?It will be Father Christmas doing that with his

0:10:24 > 0:10:29reindeer and his sleigh in a few weeks.Fantastic. I was doing

0:10:29 > 0:10:33research about the idea of a cold moon, there has to be a scientific

0:10:33 > 0:10:37explanation, it's just because it is December and it is cold.Is that it?

0:10:37 > 0:10:43I guess you have the harvest Moon and the harvest time. I thought it

0:10:43 > 0:10:46would be different because it's not winter everywhere in the world but

0:10:46 > 0:10:50how you look at them depends on where you are in the world so winter

0:10:50 > 0:10:55is the explanation.We rarely see it in Salford because it is a bit

0:10:55 > 0:10:59cloudy and miserable here! Hopefully people in other parts of the country

0:10:59 > 0:11:03will enjoy it. Let's look at the papers, the Sunday Times, one of the

0:11:03 > 0:11:07stories we've been talking about this morning.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12May betrays families that voted for Brexit. This is the resignation of

0:11:12 > 0:11:16the board of the social mode and the commission. Theresa May is claiming

0:11:16 > 0:11:21to build a country that works for everyone but that was undermined

0:11:21 > 0:11:24after the public body responsible for boosting social mobility

0:11:24 > 0:11:31resigned en masse -- social mode that commission.Looking at the

0:11:31 > 0:11:36Sunday Telegraph, another front-page dominated by politics, Tories at war

0:11:36 > 0:11:39over European judges and looking into the text of that, this is the

0:11:39 > 0:11:43whole row about the role of the European Court of Justice after

0:11:43 > 0:11:48Brexit and the extent to which that should have some role, we have the

0:11:48 > 0:11:51big meeting tomorrow between the Prime Minister and the president of

0:11:51 > 0:11:55the European Commission, led your talk about that tomorrow.Definitely

0:11:55 > 0:12:00for you! On the front of the Sunday Mirror,

0:12:00 > 0:12:05British racing dogs sold for meat in China. These greyhounds that are bet

0:12:05 > 0:12:08on hundreds of thousands of pounds by the betting mad far east, once

0:12:08 > 0:12:13they come to the end of their racing days, they suffer awful abuse and

0:12:13 > 0:12:18they are sold on for meat, shocking if it is true.A look at the Mail on

0:12:18 > 0:12:25Sunday, a politics lead, as is traditional on a Sunday morning,

0:12:25 > 0:12:29Corbyn peer in expenses scandal is the claim from the Mail on Sunday. A

0:12:29 > 0:12:33senior aide to Jeremy Corbyn was plunged into a major expenses

0:12:33 > 0:12:40scandal last night is the claim from the Mail on Sunday. Regular fodder

0:12:40 > 0:12:44for tabloids in particular to take a good look at the expenses associated

0:12:44 > 0:12:49with members of the House of Lords. You can't help notice that Meghan

0:12:49 > 0:12:53Markle is still all over the front of every paper and here she is on

0:12:53 > 0:12:58the front of the Sun, more pictures from her past and Jamie and Louise

0:12:58 > 0:13:04Redknapp to divorce, which is very sad news. Meghan Markle on every

0:13:04 > 0:13:09paper.You have definitely run out of fingers and toes if you try to

0:13:09 > 0:13:12count the number of pictures of Meghan Markle in the Sunday papers,

0:13:12 > 0:13:17unquestionable!But it was happy news, thought the first time in

0:13:17 > 0:13:20weeks we weren't talking about Brexit or Theresa May. Talking about

0:13:20 > 0:13:24something happier.But we knew it was coming, there was a lot of

0:13:24 > 0:13:28speculation about how imminent it was but to get the news and to see

0:13:28 > 0:13:32them in Nottingham a few days later and the smiles and all the rest of

0:13:32 > 0:13:37it, it was nice.Royalist or not, it was nice to get a break from it.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40The main stories this morning:

0:13:40 > 0:13:42The government plans to boost specialist mental health support

0:13:42 > 0:13:44in schools and colleges in England.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46The board of the Social Mobility Commission resigns,

0:13:46 > 0:13:49saying ministers are too focused on Brexit and failing to do enough

0:13:49 > 0:13:50to tackle inequality.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02We might struggle to see the super moon because it's a bit gloomy here.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Let's have a chat with Darren and see how it will look for the rest of

0:14:06 > 0:14:11the week. You think we are going to see the super moon in the UK?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14I loved your explanation of the super moon, Chris. I think we will

0:14:14 > 0:14:18see it because the weather is improving today and the cloud should

0:14:18 > 0:14:22be breaking. A better chance of seeing sunshine and

0:14:22 > 0:14:22be breaking. A better chance of seeing sunshine and temperatures

0:14:22 > 0:14:26reasonable for the time of year. It means there will be clearer skies

0:14:26 > 0:14:30for the first part of the night and we could see the super moon. At the

0:14:30 > 0:14:34moment a fair bit of cloud spilling down across the UK, thick enough to

0:14:34 > 0:14:38give rain and drizzle on the weak weather front. As that continued use

0:14:38 > 0:14:42-- continues to run southwards, the damp weather heads across southern

0:14:42 > 0:14:46parts of England. Tending to move away from most areas and allowing

0:14:46 > 0:14:50cloud to break from the north. Skies will brighten and sunshine will come

0:14:50 > 0:14:54through. For the far south-west we had on the cloud. Devon and

0:14:54 > 0:14:59Cornwall, perhaps a few drizzly showers. A good part of Wales and

0:14:59 > 0:15:04the Midlands brightening up. A struggle to get much sunshine in the

0:15:04 > 0:15:07south-east, but at least it's milder than yesterday. Yesterday

0:15:07 > 0:15:11temperatures 9- ten. Further north although we have the sunshine

0:15:11 > 0:15:15temperatures will be lower than yesterday and we've still got the

0:15:15 > 0:15:19damp and drizzly weather in Northern Ireland and a few blustery showers

0:15:19 > 0:15:24towards the Northern Isles. The damp weather continues to run away into

0:15:24 > 0:15:29Scotland and western parts of Wales, the far south-west of England.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Clearer skies further east and perhaps the cloud breaking. Patchy

0:15:32 > 0:15:36fog overnight. Chilly for the eastern side of England.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41Temperatures won't be far from freezing in the countryside. A

0:15:41 > 0:15:44chance of seeing that super moon and a chance of seeing some sunshine

0:15:44 > 0:15:49tomorrow. The mist and fog tending to lift and the cloud breaking in

0:15:49 > 0:15:57some areas to give us sunshine. It's a mild westerly wind across the UK.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Temperatures 9- 10 degrees, so pretty good for this time of year.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05Look at Tuesday and you will notice more arrows on the chart. The wind

0:16:05 > 0:16:10is picking up on Tuesday, a sign of things to come. It's a mild west or

0:16:10 > 0:16:17south-westerly wind, 8- 10 degrees. Many places will be dry, but rain is

0:16:17 > 0:16:21arriving in the north-west and that will turn heavy and it will work its

0:16:21 > 0:16:25way south eastwards across all areas around the middle part of the week.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28This rain could be heavy enough to give localised flooding, accompanied

0:16:28 > 0:16:33by lively winds. Even towards the end of the week the wind remains

0:16:33 > 0:16:38strong, but change direction totally. Much colder eye the end of

0:16:38 > 0:16:42the week. There will be sunshine around, but it's a return to wintry

0:16:42 > 0:16:47showers. Not a great deal happening in the next 24 hours. All the

0:16:47 > 0:16:50excitement comes later in the week. Excitement

0:16:50 > 0:16:53excitement comes later in the week. Excitement indeed! I really like it

0:16:53 > 0:16:59when it snows. That image of the rain told its own

0:16:59 > 0:17:05story. We've got the headlines coming up at half past. Now it's

0:17:05 > 0:17:08time for The Film Review.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Hello and welcome to the Film Review on BBC News.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23To take us through this week's cinema releases,

0:17:23 > 0:17:24as ever, Mark Kermode.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Hello, Mark.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28What have you been watching?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Very interesting, we have The Disaster Artist,

0:17:30 > 0:17:33which is the story of the making of the best worst movie ever.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Happy End, the new film by Michael Haneke.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38And Wonder, a very touching drama starring Jacob Tremblay.

0:17:38 > 0:17:46The Disaster Artist.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Yes.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Even watching the trailer as many times as I have now,

0:17:51 > 0:17:53even the trailer, you're sitting there like this.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Have you seen The Room?

0:17:55 > 0:17:58This is part of my question, you need to explain all this.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Basically it's the dramatised retelling of the making of The Room

0:18:01 > 0:18:02which Tommy Wiseau made in 2003.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06It's a film that was so bad that it spawned a whole cult following,

0:18:06 > 0:18:09people go along to join in the screenings, much in sort

0:18:09 > 0:18:11of Rocky Horror Show style.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Tommy Wiseau basically wrote, directed and starred in it

0:18:13 > 0:18:14and financed it.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Now we have James Franco who plays Tommy in the film directing

0:18:17 > 0:18:20and producing this film based on a book by Greg Sesestro,

0:18:20 > 0:18:23who was a co-star in The Room, who is now played by

0:18:23 > 0:18:26James Franco's brother, Dave.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28We're keeping up.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30You're keeping up so far? We're keeping up.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33So essentially Greg is a model and one actor and we first meet him

0:18:33 > 0:18:36in a theatre studies thing, he's doing a terrible version

0:18:36 > 0:18:39of waiting for Godot, and then suddenly Tommy comes up

0:18:39 > 0:18:42and takes one word from a Streetcar Named Desire,

0:18:42 > 0:18:42"Stella!"

0:18:42 > 0:18:43And does this writhing piece.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44Greg is completely entranced.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45He said, "This is amazing.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48You've got so much talent, you're so uninhibited,

0:18:48 > 0:18:49how do you do it?"

0:18:49 > 0:18:51And Tommy says, "Well, I just believe in myself."

0:18:51 > 0:18:55And together they go to Los Angeles and they decide they'll make it

0:18:55 > 0:18:58and become stars, but Hollywood rejects them and so Tommy,

0:18:58 > 0:19:02who appears to have A, no fixed age, B, no fixed accent and C,

0:19:02 > 0:19:04untold wealth, no one knows where he comes from,

0:19:04 > 0:19:05writes his own movie.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06Here's a clip.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11The Room.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13The Room.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Nobody writes it yet.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18So today you will be the first one.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21I can't believe it, man, you did this.

0:19:21 > 0:19:22And of course you play Mark.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25You want me to play Mark?

0:19:25 > 0:19:26It's a big role.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27Second lead.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Yeah, it's a huge role.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30Are you sure?

0:19:30 > 0:19:34If you don't want to do it, fine I'm having Johnny Depp available.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37No, no, I want it, I want the role, I'll take it.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's like you say, Hollywood rejects us, then we do it on our own.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43And you have the money to make this?

0:19:43 > 0:19:46I have, it's no problem.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48You're really going to make this thing?

0:19:48 > 0:19:52No, Greg, we are going to make it.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Mark has just laughed about 20 times during that clip.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57I've seen that film twice and both times...

0:19:57 > 0:20:01But here's the key to it, firstly the fact that Tommy's such

0:20:01 > 0:20:03a strange character, he says he's from New Orleans

0:20:03 > 0:20:05and his accent sounds like he's from outer space.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09But what I like about it, there's a film made by Tim Burton

0:20:09 > 0:20:12caled Ed Wood about Edward D Wood Jr, who made Plan 9

0:20:12 > 0:20:15from Outer Space, which was previously thought of as the worst

0:20:15 > 0:20:16film ever made.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19And the reason that film worked was you didn't just think Ed

0:20:19 > 0:20:22was a terrible filmmaker, you thought he was a visionary,

0:20:22 > 0:20:25you believed in the film even though it was terrible.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Now, in the case of this, Tommy appears to actually believe

0:20:28 > 0:20:31that the film he's making is a Tennessee Williams level drama

0:20:31 > 0:20:34and he really thinks that he's making some incredible piece of art,

0:20:34 > 0:20:37and the reason The Disaster Artist works is, yes, the filmmaking

0:20:37 > 0:20:40is terrible, yes, the endless takes of the same lines and the awful

0:20:40 > 0:20:43script and the bad acting and the awful direction that's

0:20:43 > 0:20:47in The Room, yes, all those things are there, but it only works

0:20:47 > 0:20:50because you also believe that beyond it there is something

0:20:50 > 0:20:52of pathos, there is something of tragedy, there is something

0:20:52 > 0:20:55of the dream about Tommy that makes him acceptable.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57We see him behaving appallingly on set.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00The film doesn't shy away from the fact that on set he did

0:21:00 > 0:21:02behave, you know, really, really badly.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Do you need to have seen The Room to get the joke?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07I don't think so because I think...

0:21:07 > 0:21:10I mean, for a start, you see The Room, it makes no sense

0:21:10 > 0:21:13anyway and when you see the individual scenes that they're

0:21:13 > 0:21:16recreating, I mean, it makes sense because you understand

0:21:16 > 0:21:16that basically Tommy...

0:21:16 > 0:21:19At one point Seth Rogen, who is playing the script

0:21:19 > 0:21:22supervisor, says it's not to do with whether he's made a movie,

0:21:22 > 0:21:24has he even seen a movie?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26He genuinely has no idea how to do this.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I thought it was really funny.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31I thought it was dark when it needed to be dark.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35I thought it had a strange sort of dreaming charm about it that

0:21:35 > 0:21:37in the end it's a story of triumph over adversity,

0:21:37 > 0:21:40by making something that's so catastrophically terrible that it

0:21:40 > 0:21:41ends up getting celebrated.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45And it made me laugh twice all the way through.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47OK. Well, I'm intrigued.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49You done that for me, I'm definitely intrigued.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54Happy End, is that an ironic title?

0:21:54 > 0:21:57It's a Michael Haneke film.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59It's the closest he'll get to making a farce.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02This is a Michael Haneke film about a bourgeois family who behind

0:22:02 > 0:22:05the facade, there are foul lurking secrets and the cast includes

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Toby Jones,

0:22:09 > 0:22:11our very own Toby Jones.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13As with all Haneke's work, it's engrossing, it's creepy,

0:22:13 > 0:22:17it's unsettling but there's also a very strange sense of deja vu.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20There's a thing early on with video phone footage that reminds me

0:22:20 > 0:22:22of Benny's Video, a very early film of Haneke's.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25There's some other stuff which has got surveillance type footage,

0:22:25 > 0:22:27which makes you think of Cache, of Hidden.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31There's also a strange kind of left turn referral back to Amour

0:22:31 > 0:22:34and the weird thing about all those films I've just cited,

0:22:34 > 0:22:36when we first saw them they were startling,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38they were original, they were surprisingly, this isn't.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41It's well-made...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Haneke knows how to get brilliant performances out of actors,

0:22:44 > 0:22:47he knows how to make something feel creepy and strange without quite

0:22:47 > 0:22:49telling you what it is.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51But it did feel like we were retreading old ground.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55I think he's a great filmmaker but this is that weird thing,

0:22:55 > 0:22:57but to me this felt like...

0:22:57 > 0:23:00And I never thought I'd use it, and of incidental Haneke film.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04It just felt like, "OK, there we go, that's the new Haneke film."

0:23:04 > 0:23:05That's it, that's it.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06And we'll move on.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09And it lacked that element...

0:23:09 > 0:23:12I remember when I saw Amour, just thinking, "I can't believe

0:23:12 > 0:23:14he just made that movie because it's just so breathtaking

0:23:14 > 0:23:15and this isn't."

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Wonder, what did you make of this?

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I've read such divided things about this.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Have you?

0:23:21 > 0:23:24I haven't read other reviews so I'll tell you up front,

0:23:24 > 0:23:25I liked it.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28It's adapted from R J Palacio's novel by Stephen Stephen Chbosky,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30who's best known for Perks of Being a Wallflower.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Story is Jacob Tremblay is a young kid, Augie,

0:23:33 > 0:23:35who is really interested in science, really interested in space,

0:23:35 > 0:23:39and has spent most of his childhood being homeschooled because he's had

0:23:39 > 0:23:42a series of facial operations as a result of a rare genetic

0:23:42 > 0:23:43condition.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Now, as he becomes a fifth grader, he's going to school for the first

0:23:47 > 0:23:50time so it's a thing about going to school,

0:23:50 > 0:23:53which is difficult enough, also made more difficult by the fact

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Augie understands that he is different to the people

0:23:55 > 0:24:01with whom he's going to have to interact, and it's about,

0:24:01 > 0:24:03at the beginning, that journey. Here's a clip.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Now, I gotta stop here because past this point is a no dads zone

0:24:07 > 0:24:10and you don't want to walk up with your parents

0:24:10 > 0:24:11because it's not cool.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12But you're cool.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15I know I am but technically most dads aren't, so...

0:24:15 > 0:24:19Neither are these helmets.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Hey, two rules - First, only raise your hand once in class

0:24:22 > 0:24:25no matter how many answers you know, except for science.

0:24:25 > 0:24:33Crush them all.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Check.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Second, you're going to feel like you're all alone,

0:24:37 > 0:24:41Augie, but you're not.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Check.

0:24:43 > 0:24:44Shall we lose this?

0:24:44 > 0:24:45Come on.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46Costumes are for Halloween, prepare for blast-off.

0:24:46 > 0:24:58I love you.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01I love you too.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02Have fun.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Bye.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07So Owen Wilson, Julia Roberts and of course, Jacob Tremblay.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11You can see from that, lots of laughs in that clip and it's

0:25:11 > 0:25:13also something that tugs at the heart strings.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15It's also more complicated than it looks like.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19At the beginning you think you're going to see from his point of view

0:25:19 > 0:25:21but actually what happens is the narrative fractures

0:25:21 > 0:25:24and you see the story from lots of different characters'

0:25:24 > 0:25:25point of view.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28From the point of view of his sister, who feels that she's

0:25:28 > 0:25:30been neglected because all her parents' attention have gone

0:25:30 > 0:25:31to her brother.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34You see the sister's friend, who is no longer a friend,

0:25:34 > 0:25:37and you find out her back story.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Even boys in the film are given context for their bullying.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44So I thought for a start it's a much more complex narrative than people

0:25:44 > 0:25:46have perhaps given it credit for, it has perhaps

0:25:46 > 0:25:47a kaleidoscopic structure.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51The other thing is the film made me laugh and the film made me cry,

0:25:51 > 0:25:53and those are difficult things to do.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56People take them very much for granted and think it's very

0:25:56 > 0:25:56easy to do.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59It's not easy and it works because the performances are good,

0:25:59 > 0:26:03the script is well honed, and it felt like to me a film

0:26:03 > 0:26:06that was made with heart, with care, by people who were telling this

0:26:06 > 0:26:09story and they really cared about the way the story was...

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Yes, there is sentimentality in it but I think it is sentimentality

0:26:13 > 0:26:14that it earns.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17I mean, I cried a lot, I laughed a lot, I was really

0:26:17 > 0:26:20engaged with the story and I went in slightly suspicious because I'd

0:26:20 > 0:26:23seen the trailer, which was a little bit...

0:26:23 > 0:26:26You didn't know quite which way it was going to go but I thought

0:26:26 > 0:26:29it was a pretty terrific piece of work.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31And Jacob Tremblay, he's a really, really talented young actor

0:26:31 > 0:26:35and I thought that the director handled it with exactly the right

0:26:35 > 0:26:36degree of schmaltz and seriousness.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38I laughed, I cried, it worked.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39OK. Best out this week?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Battle of the Sexes, this came out last week and this

0:26:42 > 0:26:44is the fictionalised or the dramatised story

0:26:44 > 0:26:47of the tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby

0:26:47 > 0:26:47Riggs.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49It became called the Battle of the Sexes.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52There was a documentary about this almost exactly the same

0:26:52 > 0:26:53name in 2013.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Again, going in to see the drama, the documentary was so great,

0:26:56 > 0:26:58will they be able to capture that spirit?

0:26:58 > 0:27:00And they do, they really, really do.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Emma Stone is great as Billie Jean King.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Steve Carell absolutely inhabits this clown,

0:27:04 > 0:27:06you know, male chauvinist soon roll of Bobby Riggs.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10The texture of the film is great, feels like a film that was made

0:27:10 > 0:27:12in the 1970s.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's got an important LGBT story at the centre of it,

0:27:15 > 0:27:17it's got political relevance, it's very, very personal.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Again, it's funny.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21It is a comedic drama and it's all true.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24The weird thing is you're looking at it and you think,

0:27:24 > 0:27:28they must be making this stuff up and then you see the documentary

0:27:28 > 0:27:29and it's absolutely true.

0:27:29 > 0:27:29Yes, fantastic.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33Quick thought about DVDs for anyone who wants to stay in?

0:27:33 > 0:27:36My Feral Heart came out last week, we weren't on last week,

0:27:36 > 0:27:38but this is a really, really great indie pic.

0:27:38 > 0:27:42One of my favourites of the year, directed by Jane Gull.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Steven Brandon is a young man trying to find his place in the world.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48It's a film that did brilliantly with the ourscreen programme

0:27:48 > 0:27:51in which people put on screenings in their own cinemas.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52It really found its audience.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54It was a film with a very, very low-budget.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58Again made with an enormous amount of heart and it is terrific.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01It's called My Feral Heart and I defy anyone not to be won

0:28:01 > 0:28:02over by it.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Excellent. I am looking forward to that one.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Thank you very much, Mark.

0:28:06 > 0:28:06Thank you.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08A really interesting week. Thank you.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Just a reminder, of course you can find all film news and reviews

0:28:11 > 0:28:14from across the BBC online.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16And all our previous programmes are on the iPlayer

0:28:16 > 0:28:17as well of course.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20And that is it for this week. Enjoy your cinemas going.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Bye-bye.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Hello, this is Breakfast

0:28:34 > 0:28:38with Chris Mason and Katherine Downes.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Good morning, here's a summary of today's main

0:28:40 > 0:28:41stories from BBC News.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Children in England will be able to get support for mental health

0:28:45 > 0:28:47problems at school or college under plans announced

0:28:47 > 0:28:48by the government this morning.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51£300 million of funding will be made available in a joint initiative

0:28:51 > 0:28:53between the departments of Health and Education.

0:28:53 > 0:29:02Campaigners say the measures are welcome but long overdue.

0:29:02 > 0:29:03All four board members of the government's

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Social Mobility Commission have resigned in protest at a lack

0:30:18 > 0:30:20The dance originated in the Argentine capital around 200

0:30:20 > 0:30:35years ago when outdoor sessions known as milonga became popular.

0:30:35 > 0:30:42Look at that!Not a fizzy drink insight. Maybe I'm betraying my

0:30:42 > 0:30:45ignorance about dancing, but it is more slow and sedate than I

0:30:45 > 0:30:50imagined.You've been watching too much Strictly. I don't think there's

0:30:50 > 0:30:54too much room on a dancefloor like that to be dancing like that.You

0:30:54 > 0:30:58would be tripping your feet over the next person!

0:31:01 > 0:31:05From marathon dancing sessions to Marathon cricket sessions, how is it

0:31:05 > 0:31:10going? I'm a bit worried about the second test.Everyone is worried

0:31:10 > 0:31:15after yesterday, doesn't feel... We aren't as confident as we were

0:31:15 > 0:31:18coming into this, we thought this would be the second day and we will

0:31:18 > 0:31:22come out... We did come out fighting today, though, I will give you that.

0:31:22 > 0:31:29I'm worried if they lose this one, they are 2-0 down and then the

0:31:29 > 0:31:33momentum...The dreaded whitewash. The urn is in touching distance for

0:31:33 > 0:31:38Australia.Throw in the rugby league as well and every time Australia get

0:31:38 > 0:31:42an inch it is doom.We shouldn't really play Australia, England

0:31:42 > 0:31:46should avoid Australia at all costs but a much better start than we had

0:31:46 > 0:31:47this time yesterday!

0:31:47 > 0:31:50England's Stuart Broad took a wicket in the first over of the day

0:31:50 > 0:31:53in Adelaide but Australia are building a strong position

0:31:53 > 0:31:54in the second Test.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56Broad trapped Peter Handscomb leg before wicket to reduce

0:31:56 > 0:32:01the Aussies to 209-5.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03But they recovered.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14Arsenal versus Man United has been one of the Premier League's Premier

0:33:14 > 0:33:18fixtures over recent years and this match showed why. Sensational from

0:33:18 > 0:33:23start to finish, too early United goals including this one from Jesse

0:33:23 > 0:33:27Lingard, then numerous Arsenal chances and saves by David De Gea.

0:33:27 > 0:33:33COMMENTATOR: Brilliant save, fantastic! Unbelievable, David De

0:33:33 > 0:33:39Gea. While Alexander lacquers at the these and you just after half-time,

0:33:39 > 0:33:43United broke away and sealed an impressive victory in a match with

0:33:43 > 0:33:4841 shots on goal.Amazing character by the players, amazing attitude

0:33:48 > 0:33:53from every one of them. They showed also amazing character in the

0:33:53 > 0:33:56difficult moments of the game and the game gave us difficult moments,

0:33:56 > 0:34:00Arsenal gave us difficult moments. There was also one self-inflicted

0:34:00 > 0:34:06difficult moment for Mourinho's men, the late sending-off of Paul Pogba.

0:34:06 > 0:34:11He has trodden right on the back of his knee, Paul Pogba, and Paul Pogba

0:34:11 > 0:34:15will miss the Manchester derby next weekend.With city not playing until

0:34:15 > 0:34:18today it was a chance for the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool to close

0:34:18 > 0:34:24the gap, with Edin has it getting two for the Blues in their win over

0:34:24 > 0:34:29Newcastle -- Edin Hazard.No lack of confidence there, too for him and

0:34:29 > 0:34:33three for Chelsea.All were in free scoring form, they hit five at

0:34:33 > 0:34:40Brighton and back in the top four -- Liverpool. Long way ahead of their

0:34:40 > 0:34:44local rivals Everton. They have a new manager in charge. And they are

0:34:44 > 0:34:49starting to find their feet this season. Victory over Huddersfield

0:34:49 > 0:34:54getting Sam Allardyce off to a solid start. And there was another new man

0:34:54 > 0:34:58in charge yesterday, Alan Pardew back in the dugout at West Brom and

0:34:58 > 0:35:05facing old side Crystal Palace in his first match. No goals but to

0:35:05 > 0:35:12struggling sides in need of a few more points. Tim Hague, BBC News.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14No major shocks in the FA Cup second round yesterday.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16The best performance came from famous giant-killers Hereford.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20They took the lead at Fleetwood through Calvin Dinsley but were held

0:35:20 > 0:35:21to a 1-1 draw.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25Look out for them to see if they get any of the Premier League giants

0:35:25 > 0:35:27in the third round draw on Monday night.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34to a stunning hattrick by Odsonne Edwar.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37Meanwhile, Hamilton salvaged a point against Hearts at Tynecastle.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40Hearts playing for over an hour with ten men in the match,

0:35:40 > 0:35:42managing to score after the break through Jamie Walker,

0:35:42 > 0:35:46but Hamilton cancelled that out in the 69th minute to keep it level.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49A frustrating game, though, with the two sides having to be

0:35:49 > 0:36:01separated by the end of the match.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03To rugby union and Wales finished their Autumn series

0:36:15 > 0:36:18The Springboks rallied to take a second half lead

0:36:20 > 0:36:2324-22 to Wales and head coach Warren Gatland was happy

0:36:23 > 0:36:25with his side's progress during the series.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27we've played Australia, South Africa and New Zealand so we're pretty

0:36:27 > 0:36:31happy with the way that we've done it and we've scored three tries

0:36:31 > 0:36:35today, two against the All Blacks.I can't remember how many against

0:36:35 > 0:36:43Australia. But, you know, I think that's a positive way to go.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48The future of Wayne Bennett could be in doubt after yesterday's agonising

0:36:48 > 0:36:556-0 defeat to the Aussies in the Rugby League World Cup final.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59The hosts scored the only try of the game in the first half

0:36:59 > 0:37:01through Boyd Cordner and despite a valiant effort England

0:37:01 > 0:37:02couldn't find a reply.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05England players clearly devastated by the result as Australia

0:37:05 > 0:37:07were crowned champions for the 11th time.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09In his post match press conference Bennett refused to talk

0:37:09 > 0:37:11about his future.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21Both won in straight sets and whoever comes out on top today

0:37:21 > 0:37:23will be the first British winner of this event.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26And Tiger Wood's long-awaited return to competitive golf hasn't had

0:37:26 > 0:37:28the best start, fading from contention

0:37:28 > 0:37:30in at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33The former world number one started his third round seven under

0:37:33 > 0:37:36par but five bogey's yesterday meant he dropped three shots overall

0:37:55 > 0:37:59Nice to see Tiger Woods back. He hasn't played for however many

0:37:59 > 0:38:04months.He said he spent pretty much all of the last two years in bed and

0:38:04 > 0:38:08we expect him to come back winning as soon as he comes back.The world

0:38:08 > 0:38:13number one just after he comes back. Seven under par until a rough couple

0:38:13 > 0:38:19of holes by the sound of it.He is Tiger Woods, though! He has still

0:38:19 > 0:38:23got it!We will speak to you in the next hour or so.

0:38:23 > 0:38:2650 years ago today the first ever heart transplant was carried out

0:38:26 > 0:38:28a landmark surgery that's revolutionised treatment

0:38:28 > 0:38:30for heart failure.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32The need for transplants is increasing.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35In the UK the waiting list has trebled by 162% in ten years.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38There were 198 procedures last year, a rise of 2%.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40The surgery comes with a lot of risks,

0:38:40 > 0:38:43but half of people who have a transplant will survive

0:38:43 > 0:38:44for at least ten years.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Currently there are around 23 million people signed on the UK

0:38:47 > 0:38:50donor register yet three people in need of a donor die everyday.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Scott Rutherford had a heart transplant almost ten years ago.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55He joins us now along with Federica Marelli-Berg

0:38:55 > 0:39:18from the British Heart Foundation, who is in our London newsroom.

0:39:18 > 0:39:23Scott, how are you now and how were you before your transplant?How I am

0:39:23 > 0:39:29now is completely different. Nine years ago my life prior transplant,

0:39:29 > 0:39:34my health was that bad that I couldn't brush my own teeth and tie

0:39:34 > 0:39:38my shoelaces and walk up and down the stairs and walk to the bathroom

0:39:38 > 0:39:43from the bedroom. I was blue lipped, severe pain, chest pain, couldn't

0:39:43 > 0:39:49breathe, I thought every time I went to bed it wasn't going to be it.

0:39:49 > 0:39:53Being 14 or 15 with those thoughts isn't particularly great.

0:39:53 > 0:39:58Fortunately for me I got my call and my heart transplant was a complete

0:39:58 > 0:40:02success. I have gone on to go to Newcastle College and studied

0:40:02 > 0:40:06musical theatre and I've been on the West End stage and I've travelled to

0:40:06 > 0:40:11Egypt and Canada, America, I have spoken in parliaments in regard to

0:40:11 > 0:40:14organ donation and now my life is incredible compared to what it was.

0:40:14 > 0:40:19Tell us about the day you woke up after the transplant.I remember

0:40:19 > 0:40:23waking up in intensive care and just instantaneously feeling alive. Even

0:40:23 > 0:40:31though I was Canyon aged and had all these troops in my chest, I felt the

0:40:31 > 0:40:36urge to get up from the bed and run around the hospital and I looked at

0:40:36 > 0:40:40my fingertips and I thought, oh my God, they are pink! I touched my

0:40:40 > 0:40:46face and they were warm. I looked in the mirror and I saw a completely

0:40:46 > 0:40:50different boy, went from being this blue boy to this pink boy, pardon

0:40:50 > 0:40:54me, and it was just this most incredible feeling and you can't

0:40:54 > 0:40:59even put it into words the sheer feeling of waking up like that.It

0:40:59 > 0:41:03proves what an incredible operation it was that anyone walking past you

0:41:03 > 0:41:07in the street or seeing you on the sofa this morning would have no idea

0:41:07 > 0:41:11the scale of the procedure that you went through, clearly it has made a

0:41:11 > 0:41:17massive difference to everything in your life.Absolutely. I have got

0:41:17 > 0:41:21nine extra years, in September this year I celebrated nine years, the

0:41:21 > 0:41:27way I see it is it is nine extra birthdays and Christmas is, I'm now

0:41:27 > 0:41:34the uncle to two beautiful nephews. My mum has got their son back and my

0:41:34 > 0:41:38dad has got their son back and my sister has their brother back, it is

0:41:38 > 0:41:43this ripple effect, it is a drop in the water, one person can save a

0:41:43 > 0:41:48person's life but they are also saving other people's lives. It's a

0:41:48 > 0:41:52ripple effect and compare the two before the transplant, my life is

0:41:52 > 0:41:57incredible.Thanks for sharing your story. -- compare the two. You do

0:41:57 > 0:42:03your research in the cardiovascular immunology side of it. -- compare it

0:42:03 > 0:42:08to. Scott has a lot of drugs to make sure that his body doesn't reject

0:42:08 > 0:42:15the heart. -- compare it to. That was the problem 50 years ago, bodies

0:42:15 > 0:42:18were saying we're not going to have this foreign body inside, we are

0:42:18 > 0:42:24going to kill it and push it out. How has the technology and drugs and

0:42:24 > 0:42:28immunology side of things improved since those early days of the

0:42:28 > 0:42:35procedure?It has clearly made giant steps from the initial transplants

0:42:35 > 0:42:39that were rejected very quickly. However, as you mentioned, the

0:42:39 > 0:42:44therapy these patients take is incredibly toxic because it kills

0:42:44 > 0:42:50off all the immune cells which are so important to fight infection. My

0:42:50 > 0:42:54research with the British Heart Foundation at Queen Aries at the

0:42:54 > 0:42:58university of London is mostly aimed at finding an alternative way to

0:42:58 > 0:43:03suppress the immune system that rejects the transplant -- Queen Mary

0:43:03 > 0:43:09two's. Either by blocking his memory of the transplant, so the access to

0:43:09 > 0:43:14the immune cells that kill the transplant are blocked, or by

0:43:14 > 0:43:20expanding the Guardian of the immune system, which are a subset of cells

0:43:20 > 0:43:25which go to the transplant and protect against the toxic response.

0:43:25 > 0:43:29Is that why... For a lot of people we assume somebody like Scott gets a

0:43:29 > 0:43:34new heart and that is it, they are fixed, they get to go and live a

0:43:34 > 0:43:38normal life and run around and do whatever but the reality is most

0:43:38 > 0:43:41people live for around ten years after they've had their heart

0:43:41 > 0:43:47transplant. Is that because of those immunosuppressive drugs, that they

0:43:47 > 0:43:50actually prevent people from living longer lives, that's the problem?

0:43:50 > 0:43:59The immunosuppressive drugs have a queue or for the problem, one is the

0:43:59 > 0:44:01infections, because they suppress the immune system indiscriminately.

0:44:01 > 0:44:13-- to your. And also cancer -- cure for. If we could get rid of that

0:44:13 > 0:44:18that would be great. The second problem we have is the new response

0:44:18 > 0:44:23against the transplant is acute and can become chronic. The acute

0:44:23 > 0:44:27response is very easily controlled by the drugs we have available,

0:44:27 > 0:44:30however the long-term response, which is called chronic rejection,

0:44:30 > 0:44:37sometimes can take over and reduce the survival of the transplant.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40Federico, thanks for joining us from London and Scott, thanks for coming

0:44:40 > 0:44:46in. The effect of those drugs is completely over wiped by the fact

0:44:46 > 0:44:50that you have a healthy heart and you live a healthy life?Absolutely.

0:44:50 > 0:44:55It is a small price to pay, I do suffer some pretty horrendous side

0:44:55 > 0:45:01effects but I'm alive, I can't be any more thankful and I can't be any

0:45:01 > 0:45:08more grateful. Obviously my family and my donor family made that

0:45:08 > 0:45:11selflessly brave decision at such an awfully tragic time and my donor

0:45:11 > 0:45:18John went on to save many more people, bar just me. As I said

0:45:18 > 0:45:21before, one person can save nine people per slice, it takes two

0:45:21 > 0:45:29minutes to sign on the Organ Donor Register. -- nine people's lives.

0:45:29 > 0:45:33Even though you are signed up your family can block your decision so

0:45:33 > 0:45:38have the conversation. If you do sign up, be someone's hero but have

0:45:38 > 0:45:43a conversation with your loved ones and allow them to know your wishes.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47We will be talking to you later but thanks for your time so far. And

0:45:47 > 0:45:50Federico, thanks for your time.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54Here's Darren with a look at this morning's weather.

0:45:54 > 0:45:59A bit quiet for the next 24 hours, but it will kick off later in the

0:45:59 > 0:45:59week?

0:45:59 > 0:46:00but it will kick off later in the week?

0:46:00 > 0:46:04We will fluctuate wildly on the weather over the week ahead. At the

0:46:04 > 0:46:09moment things are pretty quiet. An improving day. Drier, brighter and

0:46:09 > 0:46:12perhaps sunnier weather a rising from the north. At the moment

0:46:12 > 0:46:16there's a fair bit of cloud spilling down around an area of high pressure

0:46:16 > 0:46:20that sitting to the west. That's rotating around the cloud and with

0:46:20 > 0:46:24it a couple of weak weather front. This one is bringing damp and

0:46:24 > 0:46:28drizzly weather, which is working southwards. Damp weather moving

0:46:28 > 0:46:32across southern England. The cloud breaking up behind it and sunshine

0:46:32 > 0:46:37coming through. That will improve the day. Some areas will hang onto

0:46:37 > 0:46:41cloud, such as the far south-west of England, the hats even western parts

0:46:41 > 0:46:45of Wales. But we could have the sunshine coming out in other parts

0:46:45 > 0:46:50of Wales and into the west Midlands. East Anglia and the south-east, a

0:46:50 > 0:46:54struggle to break the cloud this afternoon, but he won't be as cold

0:46:54 > 0:46:59as yesterday. Temperatures further north not as high, but we will have

0:46:59 > 0:47:03sunshine. In Northern Ireland the cloud comes in from the west.

0:47:03 > 0:47:07Further damp and drizzly whether a rising. Showers into the Northern

0:47:07 > 0:47:10Isles of Scotland and gusty winds. Western areas being more cloud

0:47:10 > 0:47:16overnight. Further east, the cloud breaks up and it will be colder than

0:47:16 > 0:47:20it was last night. Maybe a pinch of frost in the countryside. Mist and

0:47:20 > 0:47:27fog patches. A chance to see the super moon. A mix of the day on

0:47:27 > 0:47:31Sunday. Nothing moving very fast. A few showers coming into western

0:47:31 > 0:47:38areas. An improving start in the south-east of England. 10 degrees

0:47:38 > 0:47:44here. Further north, 7-8 degrees. Eastern Scotland pretty good for

0:47:44 > 0:47:49this time of year. Into Tuesday we start to see the wind picking up and

0:47:49 > 0:47:54this is a sign of things to come. Still a mild wind. Decent

0:47:54 > 0:47:58temperatures, 8- 10 degrees. Notice the rain we've got in the

0:47:58 > 0:48:03north-west. It's turning heavier and steady. Into Wednesday and early

0:48:03 > 0:48:09Thursday that rain will sweep south-eastwards across the UK. It

0:48:09 > 0:48:13will be heavy rain and accompanied by gale force winds and there could

0:48:13 > 0:48:17be localised flooding as well. Then we get this wild fluctuation, the

0:48:17 > 0:48:24wind direction changing midweek. Instead of the windy south-westerly

0:48:24 > 0:48:27we have the wind coming from the north again and very quickly by the

0:48:27 > 0:48:32end of the week it will be turning much colder. It will feel cold and

0:48:32 > 0:48:36really strong winds as well. Quickly those showers will turn wintry, with

0:48:36 > 0:48:40snow on the way. What a stunning picture. Is that the

0:48:40 > 0:48:46Yorkshire Dales? It is. Well spotted!

0:48:46 > 0:48:48It's a beautiful part of the country.

0:48:48 > 0:48:49It's a beautiful part of the country.

0:48:49 > 0:48:57Thanks. Personalised weather. Brilliant. Now it's time for the

0:48:57 > 0:49:04latest technology news. He is Click. -- here's.

0:49:20 > 0:49:23Over the past few years, some of the most fascinating

0:49:23 > 0:49:26technologies we've featured on the show have been the ones that

0:49:26 > 0:49:28help people with disabilities.

0:49:28 > 0:49:31As the world's first bionic games proved,

0:49:31 > 0:49:34the possibilities now emerging offer so much potential,

0:49:34 > 0:49:39whether it be in mobility, sight or hearing, we've seen how

0:49:39 > 0:49:43life-changing technology is tantalisingly close.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45This weekend sees the international day of people with disabilities

0:49:45 > 0:49:49and that's a great chance for us to devote a whole programme

0:49:49 > 0:49:51to the latest tech developments in the area.

0:49:51 > 0:49:54Now, in the UK, around 5% of all rail journeys are made

0:49:54 > 0:49:57by those with a disability or a long-term illness.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59A quarter have reported problems with using public transport.

0:49:59 > 0:50:02The rail company London Midland is hoping to improve accessibility

0:50:02 > 0:50:04for its disabled passengers with a new app, Passenger Assist,

0:50:04 > 0:50:07and we asked Emily Yates to try it out for us.

0:50:07 > 0:50:15I'm Emily Yates and I'm just planning my train

0:50:15 > 0:50:19journey to Birmingham.

0:50:19 > 0:50:23It requires a fair bit of advanced booking.

0:50:23 > 0:50:27I'm confident travelling by myself, but I'm not a huge fan of the train,

0:50:27 > 0:50:30which is actually why I'm making this journey.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32I've heard about an app in development called

0:50:32 > 0:50:34Passenger Assist that could be a game-changer

0:50:34 > 0:50:38for disabled travellers.

0:50:38 > 0:50:43Thank you!

0:50:43 > 0:50:46I think anybody watching this who's disabled will probably agree with me

0:50:46 > 0:50:49that you can have some pretty horrific travel journeys

0:50:49 > 0:50:51if you're disabled.

0:50:51 > 0:50:55I've been left on the train before, I've booked assistance and somebody

0:50:55 > 0:50:59has said, "Yeah, we're going to come and meet you," and I've been left

0:50:59 > 0:51:03on the train unable to get off and I've had to go four or five

0:51:03 > 0:51:06stops down the line to be able to come back again so I'm really

0:51:06 > 0:51:12excited to see what this app has to offer.

0:51:12 > 0:51:18Thank you!

0:51:18 > 0:51:21I've got this new app which is currently in development

0:51:21 > 0:51:24and I'm just about to fill in my own profile.

0:51:24 > 0:51:27What's brilliant about this app is it asks things like,

0:51:27 > 0:51:30"Do you need room for a guide dog, do you have a hearing impairment,

0:51:30 > 0:51:34do you need a ramp, do you need help buying a ticket?"

0:51:34 > 0:51:37So, Roxanne, I've added my profile details and now I've just

0:51:37 > 0:51:41planned a journey.

0:51:41 > 0:51:44This is obviously in development but this is how it would work.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47I've put in my journey and now it should come up

0:51:47 > 0:51:50on your phone any minute.

0:51:50 > 0:51:51Here you are.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54You've got my picture and everything so you know exactly

0:51:54 > 0:51:55what I'll look like.

0:51:55 > 0:51:58I know what you look like, know what to expect,

0:51:58 > 0:52:00I press "I'm Here To Help."

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Brilliant.

0:52:02 > 0:52:06I can send you a message saying I'm here, my name is Roxanne.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08OK.

0:52:08 > 0:52:12Back on the train for me and now I have this.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15Passenger Assist is being developed by start-up Transreport under

0:52:15 > 0:52:24the guidance of London Midland's lab.

0:52:24 > 0:52:26We've brought the staff phone on the train too,

0:52:26 > 0:52:29so we can see how the app works for them.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32So right now the phone is tracking both the staff member

0:52:32 > 0:52:33and the passenger.

0:52:33 > 0:52:36We're obviously in the same place so you can see the two dots

0:52:36 > 0:52:37are quite close together.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40They're using the technology such as Bluetooth beacons,

0:52:40 > 0:52:44Wi-Fi, 4G, GPS, we can use multiple tools.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46You know exactly what carriage I'm in even.

0:52:46 > 0:52:49Yes, down to the carriage, we can pinpoint less than one metre

0:52:49 > 0:52:52to your location and find out which carriage, which train

0:52:52 > 0:52:55and the direction of travel you're going in as well.

0:52:55 > 0:52:57And it's not just about the app.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00Transreport is also making trackable wristbands and these key fobs,

0:53:00 > 0:53:02they'll be available for those unable to use phones as easily.

0:53:02 > 0:53:06Let's face it, in a world where we can now track our pizza

0:53:06 > 0:53:09delivery by the minute, having to book train assistance 24

0:53:09 > 0:53:11hours in advance seems a little old school,

0:53:11 > 0:53:14and this way staff will have information at their fingertips too.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17Transreport hope to roll out the app across the London Midland service

0:53:17 > 0:53:21early next year and the plan is for the entire UK rail network

0:53:21 > 0:53:36to be able to access it by June, 2018.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40If there's one thing disabled travellers need that the current

0:53:40 > 0:53:43system doesn't provide it's the reassurance that someone

0:53:43 > 0:53:46will be there to help and not leave them stranded when getting

0:53:46 > 0:53:58on or off the train.

0:54:02 > 0:54:06AccessNow really began with my own reality.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08Someone using a wheelchair to get around, I'm consistently frustrated

0:54:08 > 0:54:12when I show up at places and I don't know if they're accessible or not

0:54:12 > 0:54:16until I get there.

0:54:16 > 0:54:19Countless times I show up and there are steps or other

0:54:19 > 0:54:24barriers that prevent me from doing the things that I want.

0:54:24 > 0:54:28And so I was really motivated to try and solve this problem and the way

0:54:28 > 0:54:31that we've gone about doing that is by creating a mobile app

0:54:31 > 0:54:33that can simply allow people, who've experienced accessibility

0:54:33 > 0:54:35needs, to share information about what is accessible

0:54:35 > 0:54:37on their own communities and around the world.

0:54:40 > 0:54:43It starts by selecting a place, then rating that place as accessible

0:54:43 > 0:54:47or partially accessible.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49Patio access only or not accessible.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51You can go one step further and add a description.

0:54:51 > 0:54:59So you can say things like, "I showed up at this place,

0:54:59 > 0:55:01the customer service was fantastic."

0:55:01 > 0:55:03So this cafe looks like it's not accessible.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05There's two steps here at the entrance.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08But when I look at my app, I can see there's an alternative

0:55:08 > 0:55:12entrance through the building here, that will let me into the cafe.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15So let's check it out.

0:55:17 > 0:55:20I think for me the main magic, the most exciting part

0:55:20 > 0:55:22about AccessNow, is that the information is all crowd sourced

0:55:22 > 0:55:24from people who have experienced accessibility needs

0:55:24 > 0:55:30in their own life, or are just motivated to get involved

0:55:30 > 0:55:31and share information.

0:55:31 > 0:55:34We started in Toronto, with a couple hundred pins,

0:55:34 > 0:55:37and now we've reached over 20,000 pins throughout the world.

0:55:37 > 0:55:43But we really want to make this a global movement.

0:55:43 > 0:55:46There are many times where people who have mobility needs,

0:55:46 > 0:55:48they're isolated in many ways and it's simply because,

0:55:48 > 0:55:52you know, from the way I see it, it's not people who are disabled

0:55:52 > 0:55:54but it's our environments that are disabling.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57So if we can remove the barriers that restrict people from engaging

0:55:57 > 0:55:59with their communities, with their workplaces,

0:55:59 > 0:56:02with their lifestyles, I think we can come to a much more

0:56:02 > 0:56:16inclusive world for everyone.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19I've come to Dorset Orthopaedic, a private company that fits amputees

0:56:19 > 0:56:21with prosthetic legs, from running blades

0:56:21 > 0:56:25to hyperrealistic looking limbs.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28One sport that's always been very hard for me is snowboarding,

0:56:28 > 0:56:31because my normal feet are designed specifically for walking.

0:56:31 > 0:56:35But here, they've got some feet that could make that easier.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37The requirements of a foot are quite different with skiing

0:56:37 > 0:56:39compared to walking.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42With normal walking, you need a foot that has a fairly

0:56:42 > 0:56:44small range of movement that gives you energy back,

0:56:44 > 0:56:48so as you roll over the foot you get some push off at the end

0:56:48 > 0:56:54to help your walking.

0:56:54 > 0:56:57With skiing you need more movement in the foot to compensate

0:56:57 > 0:57:00for the uneven surface and you also need some shock absorption,

0:57:00 > 0:57:05so when you go over a bump or you land on the ski you need some

0:57:05 > 0:57:07of that shock taken out and that's what this does.

0:57:07 > 0:57:11While I'm left to my own devices, Kevin agrees to fit my legs

0:57:11 > 0:57:14with some of these feet so I can give them a go.

0:57:14 > 0:57:18This requires a lot of honing and alignment to make sure I'm not

0:57:18 > 0:57:20pushed too far forwards or backwards.

0:57:20 > 0:57:20Ta-da! My legs!

0:57:20 > 0:57:24So I'm quite intrigued as to how these are going to feel.

0:57:24 > 0:57:27I actually have no idea.

0:57:27 > 0:57:27Oh, wow.

0:57:27 > 0:57:31If you push your weight forwards, you should be able to feel

0:57:31 > 0:57:32the movement in the ankle.

0:57:32 > 0:57:33Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, there!

0:57:33 > 0:57:36That sensation I've not felt in the ten years

0:57:36 > 0:57:37since being an amputee.

0:57:37 > 0:57:40These feet work by putting air into an adjustable cylinder,

0:57:40 > 0:57:42which controls the amount of resistance in the foot.

0:57:42 > 0:57:44More air and more resistance.

0:57:44 > 0:57:47As well as giving this movement, shock absorption in the foot means

0:57:47 > 0:57:49that going over rocks or bumps is easier.

0:57:49 > 0:57:51But they're not cheap.

0:57:51 > 0:57:54With the price of £2,500 each, it means only some people can get

0:57:54 > 0:57:59access to them.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01It's clear that they're not for walking.

0:58:01 > 0:58:03They're very, very rigid, very square and very hard.

0:58:03 > 0:58:06But if I let my mind go and imagine myself snowboarding,

0:58:06 > 0:58:13which I've done badly in the past, I can feel that and they move

0:58:13 > 0:58:17and that's weird, because I have not felt my feet move in that way

0:58:17 > 0:58:22for ten years.

0:58:24 > 0:58:27There's only one thing left to do and it's try the feet out

0:58:27 > 0:58:34on some proper snow.

0:58:34 > 0:58:37I've come to an indoor slope, but I've got to admit I'm

0:58:37 > 0:58:38feeling very nervous.

0:58:38 > 0:58:41This is Emma Gillespie, a prosthetist who's agreed to come

0:58:41 > 0:58:44with me to fit the feet and help me try them out.

0:58:44 > 0:58:46So you've boarded on these before. Yeah.

0:58:46 > 0:58:47And how was that? Hard.

0:58:47 > 0:58:48But you did it. Yeah.

0:58:48 > 0:58:51So, one leg.

0:58:51 > 0:58:58This is what you don't see about being an amputee.

0:59:01 > 0:59:04When I've snowboarded previously on my normal walking feet,

0:59:04 > 0:59:07it's been really difficult.

0:59:07 > 0:59:10But these offer much more and the way they're set up offers

0:59:10 > 0:59:14a natural bend in my knees, a stance that's almost impossible

0:59:14 > 0:59:15on my usual legs.

0:59:15 > 0:59:17OK, here we go. Oh, she's going!

0:59:17 > 0:59:19Try and think about your posture a bit.

0:59:19 > 0:59:20And a turn!

0:59:20 > 0:59:25Woohoo!

0:59:32 > 0:59:35OK, so it's been a while since I boarded and expecting

0:59:35 > 0:59:37an instant result is probably asking a bit too much,

0:59:37 > 0:59:38but the best thing

0:59:38 > 0:59:41for it is to keep throwing myself down this slope

0:59:41 > 0:59:42and see what happens.

0:59:43 > 0:59:46Despite the technology of these feet, there's only so much they can

0:59:46 > 0:59:48do when it comes to hitting the slopes.

0:59:48 > 0:59:51The real work is definitely still coming from the person.

0:59:51 > 0:59:54And if you're not very good, they're not going to stop

0:59:54 > 0:59:58you from falling.

0:59:58 > 0:59:59LAUGHS

0:59:59 > 1:00:02I mean, I'm soaking wet.

1:00:02 > 1:00:05That last fall has drenched me.

1:00:05 > 1:00:08But it's amazing when you merge technology and disability.

1:00:08 > 1:00:10It's about giving people independence and the feeling

1:00:10 > 1:00:13that they can try things that they perhaps thought weren't

1:00:13 > 1:00:18there for them.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21So it's fun, but now I want these feet and they're expensive.

1:00:21 > 1:00:24That's it for the shortcut of this special version of Click for

1:00:24 > 1:00:26this International Day of People with Disabilities.

1:00:26 > 1:00:33The full version is iPlayer and you can keep an eye on the BBC's

1:00:33 > 1:00:35disability stories throughout the year on our website.

1:00:35 > 1:00:42Thanks for watching and we'll see you soon.

1:01:03 > 1:01:04Hello, this is Breakfast,

1:01:04 > 1:01:06with Chris Mason and Katherine Downes.

1:01:06 > 1:01:09A new drive to help children and young people

1:01:09 > 1:01:10with mental health problems.

1:01:10 > 1:01:12Ministers want faster access to treatment and specialist

1:01:12 > 1:01:15support in schools and colleges.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34Good morning, it's Sunday the 3rd of December.

1:01:34 > 1:01:35Also this morning:

1:01:35 > 1:01:37The Government's entire Social Mobility Commission

1:01:37 > 1:01:40resigns in protest at what it says is a lack of progress

1:01:40 > 1:01:43towards a fairer Britain.

1:01:43 > 1:01:44Bolstering the blue belt.

1:01:44 > 1:01:47More stretches of the British coastline get special status to help

1:01:47 > 1:01:53protect vulnerable wildlife and habitats.

1:01:53 > 1:01:56In sport, we'll have the latest from the Ashes overnight.

1:01:56 > 1:01:58England are into the tailenders but Australia are still building

1:01:58 > 1:02:03a big score on day two in Adelaide.

1:02:03 > 1:02:05And Darren has the weather.

1:02:05 > 1:02:08Hello, good morning.

1:02:08 > 1:02:10A lot of this damp and drizzly weather will clear

1:02:10 > 1:02:15away this morning, allowing skies to brighten, a bit more sunshine

1:02:15 > 1:02:18around as well, but tonight could turn a bit colder.

1:02:18 > 1:02:20Join me later for all the details.

1:02:20 > 1:02:22Good morning.

1:02:22 > 1:02:24First, our main story.

1:02:24 > 1:02:27Children will be able to get access to mental health support at schools

1:02:27 > 1:02:29or colleges in England under plans announced

1:02:29 > 1:02:31by the government this morning.

1:02:34 > 1:02:36initiative between the departments of Health and Education.

1:02:36 > 1:02:38Campaigners say the measures are welcome, but long overdue.

1:02:38 > 1:02:43Edward Curwen reports.

1:02:43 > 1:02:48I didn't have any therapy, it was just to talk about things...

1:02:48 > 1:02:55Sienna, not her real name, has had a leading disorder

1:02:55 > 1:02:59and depression for the last five years, but for nearly half of that

1:02:59 > 1:03:01time she was waiting for the right kind of help.

1:03:01 > 1:03:05I just felt I've never been properly treated for the mental side,

1:03:05 > 1:03:09they just sort of put me in hospital and my physical side's bad and then

1:03:09 > 1:03:18don't treat anything else and they wonder why

1:03:18 > 1:03:21it keeps happening and I keep going back to hospital.

1:03:21 > 1:03:23She says once support was offered in a hospital,

1:03:23 > 1:03:26that service was still hundreds of miles away from home.

1:03:26 > 1:03:30Just over a month ago, a review by the Care Quality Commission found

1:03:30 > 1:03:33that young people were facing long waiting times and unequal access

1:03:33 > 1:03:36to mental health services that could be put in their lives at risk.

1:03:36 > 1:03:39Now the government's allocated £300 million from the departments

1:03:39 > 1:03:43of Health and Education.

1:03:43 > 1:03:46The measures include the piloting of a four-week waiting time

1:03:46 > 1:03:48for young people to get treatment.

1:03:48 > 1:03:50For all primary and secondary schools to get mental health

1:03:50 > 1:03:53awareness training and new joined up mental health support teams

1:03:53 > 1:03:54through schools and the NHS.

1:03:54 > 1:03:58The promise we want to make to parents up and down the country

1:03:58 > 1:04:01is that if your child has a mental health issue,

1:04:01 > 1:04:04we want to make sure that you get the help much much earlier

1:04:04 > 1:04:07than happens at the moment and if possible we want to work

1:04:07 > 1:04:10within the school system to prevent that condition deteriorating.

1:04:10 > 1:04:13Labour, though, says it questions whether the plans will enable every

1:04:13 > 1:04:15school in England to provide support, while the charity

1:04:15 > 1:04:19Young Minds says there's still a long way to go with chronic

1:04:19 > 1:04:23underfunding for so long.

1:04:23 > 1:04:26Edward Curwen, BBC News.

1:04:26 > 1:04:28All four board members of the government's

1:04:28 > 1:04:30Social Mobility Commission have stood down in protest

1:04:30 > 1:04:32at what they say is a lack

1:04:32 > 1:04:34of progress towards a fairer Britain.

1:04:34 > 1:04:35Ex-Labour minister Alan Milburn, who chairs

1:04:35 > 1:04:38the commission, said he had little hope the current government

1:04:38 > 1:04:40could make the necessary progress, but Downing Street insists

1:04:40 > 1:04:48it is working to provide opportunities for all.

1:04:48 > 1:04:49Here's our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth.

1:04:49 > 1:04:52When Theresa May became Prime Minister she stood

1:04:52 > 1:04:53in Downing Street and made a promise.

1:04:53 > 1:05:00The government I lead will be driven not by the interests

1:05:00 > 1:05:02of the privileged few but by yours.

1:05:02 > 1:05:04When it comes to opportunity,

1:05:04 > 1:05:06we won't entrench the advantages of the fortunate few.

1:05:06 > 1:05:11We will do everything we can to help everybody,

1:05:11 > 1:05:14whatever your background, to go as far as your talents

1:05:14 > 1:05:16will take you.

1:05:16 > 1:05:19But the government's senior adviser in improving social

1:05:19 > 1:05:22mobility has now left his job with immediate effect,

1:05:22 > 1:05:24saying he had little hope the government could make progress

1:05:24 > 1:05:26in bringing about a fairer Britain.

1:05:26 > 1:05:27In his resignation letter,

1:05:27 > 1:05:29Alan Milburn said the government was:

1:05:41 > 1:05:44A sentiment he shared on BBC Breakfast last week.

1:05:44 > 1:05:53There's a lot of talk around from government about healing

1:05:53 > 1:05:55division, promoting social justice, but right now it's heads

1:05:55 > 1:05:58seem to be consumed by Brexit, for understandable reasons,

1:05:58 > 1:06:00and it doesn't seem to have the headspace

1:06:00 > 1:06:02to inject the necessary energy or focus into

1:06:02 > 1:06:03addressing these issues.

1:06:03 > 1:06:06His departure, along with three senior members of his team,

1:06:06 > 1:06:09has been described as a loss by some campaigners.

1:06:09 > 1:06:12Downing Street said it had already told Mr Milburn had

1:06:12 > 1:06:15planned to appoint a new chair as his term of office had ended.

1:06:15 > 1:06:18A spokesman said the government was committed to fighting injustice

1:06:18 > 1:06:19and had made good progress.

1:06:19 > 1:06:24Alex Forsyth, BBC News.

1:06:24 > 1:06:31Let's speak to our political correspondent, Jonathan Blake.

1:06:31 > 1:06:35Good morning, Jonathan. It never rains but it pours for the Prime

1:06:35 > 1:06:39Minister. On one hand there will be lots of people who will have barely

1:06:39 > 1:06:42been aware of the existence of this commission, only now learning about

1:06:42 > 1:06:47it as these members resigned from it. On the other hand, as we heard

1:06:47 > 1:06:52there, this is so central to the Prime Minister's mission in the job?

1:06:52 > 1:06:57Yes, as we heard in Alex's report, social mobility was to be the main

1:06:57 > 1:07:01mission of the Prime Minister and she made that very clear when Jude

1:07:01 > 1:07:04took office in that speech outside Downing Street but you only have to

1:07:04 > 1:07:08look at the things Alan Milburn said in his resignation letter and the

1:07:08 > 1:07:12interview he gave in the Sunday Times that in his eyes with a focus

1:07:12 > 1:07:17on that issue that he has had she has failed. She, Key said there's

1:07:17 > 1:07:25been in decision, dysfunctionality and a lack of leadership -- he has

1:07:25 > 1:07:30said that Brexit is taking up so much energy, effort and time that it

1:07:30 > 1:07:38is difficult to get anything else done. We can see that evidently. The

1:07:38 > 1:07:40Prime Minister is meeting Jean-Claude Juncker, the president

1:07:40 > 1:07:44of the European Commission,, who will want more progress and clarity

1:07:44 > 1:07:51key issues of the first phase of the Brexit negotiations -- the president

1:07:51 > 1:07:55of the European Commission tomorrow,. An example of being in

1:07:55 > 1:07:59power but only to a certain extent being in control.We will speak to

1:07:59 > 1:08:00you later.

1:08:00 > 1:08:03Donald Trump is facing accusations of obstructing justice

1:08:03 > 1:08:05after suggesting that he knew his former National Security Adviser,

1:08:05 > 1:08:08Michael Flynn, had lied to the FBI before he fired him.

1:08:08 > 1:08:10The President's comments in a tweet yesterday

1:08:10 > 1:08:13contracticed his previous account and prompted claims he knew

1:08:13 > 1:08:16about the deception when he asked former FBI director James Comey

1:08:16 > 1:08:32to drop his investigation into Mr Flynn's contacts with Russia.

1:08:32 > 1:08:35Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first ever

1:08:35 > 1:08:35human heart transplant.

1:08:35 > 1:08:38The procedure, completed by surgeon Christiaan Barnard, raised a number

1:08:38 > 1:08:40of ethical questions at the time.

1:08:40 > 1:08:43Since then, transplants have developed and today there are around

1:08:43 > 1:08:45250 patients in the UK waiting for a new heart,

1:08:45 > 1:08:47and almost 200 receiving one each year.

1:08:47 > 1:08:50New measures to protect parts of Britain's coastline and around

1:08:50 > 1:08:52150,000 rare birds will be announced today.

1:08:52 > 1:08:54The UK's so-called blue belt, which protects marine areas,

1:08:54 > 1:08:57will be extended to several parts of the country.

1:08:57 > 1:09:00The hope is that it will give animal and bird life greater protection,

1:09:00 > 1:09:09as Tom Burridge reports.

1:09:09 > 1:09:11Parts of Britain's coastline are rich.

1:09:11 > 1:09:14Diverse habitats and important breeding grounds for a wide

1:09:14 > 1:09:16variety of birds.

1:09:16 > 1:09:20So the government wants to protect them.

1:09:20 > 1:09:29We know about greenbelt, now more coastline will be

1:09:29 > 1:09:31classified as blue belt to protect certain species.

1:09:31 > 1:09:34Like these manx shearwaters, rescued a few years ago in Pembrokeshire.

1:09:34 > 1:09:37These birds are also found in the Irish Sea off Anglesea,

1:09:37 > 1:09:40an area which will now have the new protected status.

1:09:40 > 1:09:44So too will 24 miles of Cornish coastline.

1:09:44 > 1:09:48It means that in total 650 square miles of sea and coastline around

1:09:48 > 1:09:59the UK will now be classified as blue belt.

1:09:59 > 1:10:02Lundy, off the coast of Devon, already a marine conservation zone.

1:10:02 > 1:10:05Important work to protect the life in and above our waters.

1:10:05 > 1:10:15Tom Burridge, BBC News.

1:10:15 > 1:10:172.6 million people were treated for mental health

1:10:17 > 1:10:20problems in England last year, one in five of them were children

1:10:20 > 1:10:21under the age of 18.

1:10:21 > 1:10:24Today the government is announcing a £300 million

1:10:24 > 1:10:26investment which will allow youngsters to access

1:10:26 > 1:10:27support in schools.

1:10:27 > 1:10:28Doctor Bernadka Dubiecka is the Chair

1:10:28 > 1:10:31of the Child Psychiatry Faculty at the Royal College

1:10:31 > 1:10:39of Psychiatrists, she joins us now.

1:10:39 > 1:10:44Well done for getting it out!I just about got away with it! What do you

1:10:44 > 1:10:49make of this development, this announcement?The Royal College of

1:10:49 > 1:10:52Psychiatrists is very positive about the announcement, child and Alan

1:10:52 > 1:10:56lessened mental health has been neglected for far too long so we are

1:10:56 > 1:10:58pleased Theresa May and this government are taking this issue

1:10:58 > 1:11:02seriously so we welcome the announcement but we need to see the

1:11:02 > 1:11:07details -- child and adolescent.The striking thing is it involves two

1:11:07 > 1:11:12Government departments, the fact that children will be able to access

1:11:12 > 1:11:16mental health support at school or college, as opposed to something

1:11:16 > 1:11:21they would need to get a GPs appointment for.That's an important

1:11:21 > 1:11:26point. For a long time we have said child mental health is everyone's

1:11:26 > 1:11:30business and everyone should be involved so it's important that the

1:11:30 > 1:11:33Department of Education has joined with the Department of Health, it's

1:11:33 > 1:11:36really important to work to help children and a good place to start

1:11:36 > 1:11:40is in schools. One of the issues that concerns us, over the years

1:11:40 > 1:11:44we've seen increasing demand. In casualty we see more people turning

1:11:44 > 1:11:48up in crisis, more young people feeling desperate and suicidal and a

1:11:48 > 1:11:53lot of those problems could have been helped if people were treated

1:11:53 > 1:11:56earlier. It's important this help is offered to schools so teachers can

1:11:56 > 1:12:01help young people and they can access services quickly.That is the

1:12:01 > 1:12:05other point, one of the other big problems, the waiting times, not

1:12:05 > 1:12:08only identifying mental health problems in young people at school

1:12:08 > 1:12:13but the amount of time they're having to wake to get treatment. The

1:12:13 > 1:12:18current average is 33 days for first assessment, 33 days for treatment,

1:12:18 > 1:12:24but they are going to pilot a four-week waiting-list -- having to

1:12:24 > 1:12:29wait -- 36 days for treatment. How practical is it, throw money at this

1:12:29 > 1:12:34and hope the waiting times comedown? Is that possible?We don't know how

1:12:34 > 1:12:39much money will be thrown at that problem, we need to see the detail

1:12:39 > 1:12:42-- come down. There needs to be parity between mental and physical

1:12:42 > 1:12:46health and it's not right young people have to wait so long so we

1:12:46 > 1:12:50welcome that focus on reducing waiting times but practically how it

1:12:50 > 1:12:56will happen will be challenging. We have huge workforce issues, the

1:12:56 > 1:13:00number of childhood psychologists has been going down in recent years,

1:13:00 > 1:13:05so we need to faced those challenges. We need to see how this

1:13:05 > 1:13:09pilot scheme works in practice and we need to make sure it is well

1:13:09 > 1:13:14resourced -- to face.This theme about parity between physical and

1:13:14 > 1:13:18mental health, clearly there are far more conversations that go on

1:13:18 > 1:13:22whether in the media or more generally about mental health than

1:13:22 > 1:13:26there may have been some time ago. From your professional perspective,

1:13:26 > 1:13:31how close are we getting to that idea of parity?It is a start. Child

1:13:31 > 1:13:34mental health has been underfunded for many years so I think the

1:13:34 > 1:13:41figures are around less than 1% of the budget for the NHS spent on

1:13:41 > 1:13:45adolescent mental health, in terms of the diseases it causes, it's

1:13:45 > 1:13:50about a quarter so we have a long way to go but it is an important

1:13:50 > 1:13:53start and I hope the government carry on building on this.Thanks

1:13:53 > 1:13:59for coming in and thanks for your insight.Thanks for having me.

1:13:59 > 1:14:03Here's Darren with a look at this morning's weather. It's going to get

1:14:03 > 1:14:10a bit chilly towards the end the week?

1:14:10 > 1:14:11a bit chilly towards the end the week? Yes, it is. Kula tonight and

1:14:11 > 1:14:18much colder by the end of the week. This is the moon setting. Alan was

1:14:18 > 1:14:22up early, one of our Weather Watchers. You may be able to see the

1:14:22 > 1:14:28super moon writing this evening. We've got brighter weather from the

1:14:28 > 1:14:33north today. Some sunshine and brakes on the cloud tonight. At the

1:14:33 > 1:14:37moment a fair bit of cloud that's rolling across the UK. It comes

1:14:37 > 1:14:41around this persistent area of high pressure still out to the west. This

1:14:41 > 1:14:46is Atlantic air and on the weak weather front we've got a bit of

1:14:46 > 1:14:50rain and drizzle and low cloud. That is pushing southwards across England

1:14:50 > 1:14:56and Wales. Moving across western areas. As you can see the cloud

1:14:56 > 1:15:01breaks from the north. Sunshine on the far south-west. Cornwall could

1:15:01 > 1:15:10state dull and damp. Most of Wales getting a bit of that. A slow day in

1:15:10 > 1:15:15East Anglia. We will properly hang onto more cloud. Breaks in northern

1:15:15 > 1:15:19England and Scotland. Clouding over from the rest in Northern Ireland.

1:15:19 > 1:15:25-- west. And a few blustery showers in the Northern Isles of Scotland.

1:15:25 > 1:15:29For many of us the winds are light. There's the damp and drizzly whether

1:15:29 > 1:15:34in the west, pushing further into Scotland, Wales and western England.

1:15:34 > 1:15:37Further east across England and for south-east Scotland it could be

1:15:37 > 1:15:41quite chilly overnight. A pinch of frost in the rural areas, but a

1:15:41 > 1:15:46better chance of seeing the super moon. Some pockets of mist and fog

1:15:46 > 1:15:50to clear away on Monday morning. An improving day in the south-east

1:15:50 > 1:15:54after a bit of cloud around. A few of these showers coming into western

1:15:54 > 1:16:00Scotland over the Irish Sea. Most places have a dry day. Ripening up.

1:16:00 > 1:16:06Decent temperatures again. -- brightening. Into Tuesday and we've

1:16:06 > 1:16:12got the wind really starting to pick up and it will be a windy week

1:16:12 > 1:16:17ahead. On Tuesday we have a mild wind which will blow in a lot of

1:16:17 > 1:16:21cloud and towards the north-west we've got rain beginning to gather.

1:16:21 > 1:16:25This rain is important and it will push across the whole of the country

1:16:25 > 1:16:28during Wednesday and into Thursday. It will be heavy rain, accompanied I

1:16:28 > 1:16:35gale force winds. It may lead to localised flooding. Then things

1:16:35 > 1:16:41change massively. We have a northerly wind by the end of the

1:16:41 > 1:16:47week. Back to square one. Turning much colder and some wintry showers,

1:16:47 > 1:16:54not just in the Yorkshire Dales. I did like that ho ho ho at the

1:16:54 > 1:16:56beginning. Almost Santa-like. Cheers.

1:16:56 > 1:16:59beginning. Almost Santa-like. Cheers.

1:16:59 > 1:17:03Refugee families from Syria that resettle in the UK shouldn't be

1:17:03 > 1:17:10forced to split up and should be allowed to bring children,

1:17:10 > 1:17:13up to the age of 25, with them, according to the British Red

1:17:13 > 1:17:13Cross.

1:17:13 > 1:17:17This week, the Home Office announced that over the past two years around

1:17:17 > 1:17:209,000 Syrians had been allowed into the UK

1:17:20 > 1:17:24under its Vulnerable Person Resettlement Scheme.

1:17:24 > 1:17:29Born in Syria, but this 14-year-old is growing up in Glasgow.He is

1:17:29 > 1:17:35really good at what he does.What do you think about children's writes?

1:17:35 > 1:17:40In this lesson on human rights, she describes how her home was wrong.

1:17:40 > 1:17:50Three bombs fell into my house... Beside her, her brothers.My

1:17:50 > 1:17:57brother's place got bombed, half of it.What is it been in Scotland?You

1:17:57 > 1:18:03are not scared of anything. You can go out.Their parents are grateful

1:18:03 > 1:18:08to the UK for giving their family refuge. But this family was

1:18:08 > 1:18:12fractured when the rules forced them to leave their eldest child behind

1:18:12 > 1:18:17in Syria. Their daughter here growing up with her sisters and

1:18:17 > 1:18:21brothers was barred from coming to the UK, because she was 19 and still

1:18:21 > 1:18:26legally an adult. Her parents decided she had to get married as to

1:18:26 > 1:18:29have someone to protect her. Now this is how they all keep in

1:18:29 > 1:18:37contact.TRANSLATION: I couldn't come with my family. I had to get

1:18:37 > 1:18:41married because I had no one left at home. I had to give up university

1:18:41 > 1:18:46and the prospect of getting a job. This had been my dream since being a

1:18:46 > 1:18:54little girl.Three years on, she is now a mother of two. After paying

1:18:54 > 1:18:59people smugglers, she embarked on a treacherous journey and finally

1:18:59 > 1:19:08followed her new husband to Germany. But the UK is still refusing to N.

1:19:08 > 1:19:12This law that stopped her coming here is a war against families. I

1:19:12 > 1:19:15managed to bring my entire family, except for her. She had to stay

1:19:15 > 1:19:19behind. This law is helping to bury her.In a statement

1:19:35 > 1:19:39The British Red Cross believes these cases should be left to the

1:19:39 > 1:19:43discretion of case workers.Let's be clear. We are talking about children

1:19:43 > 1:19:47that are part of the family unit. The bulletin is now, think of your

1:19:47 > 1:19:51family, the children who still live at home, maybe away studying. That's

1:19:51 > 1:19:54what we are talking about. Let's bring those families back together.

1:19:54 > 1:19:59Families belong together. This family will always be thankful to

1:19:59 > 1:20:03the UK, but having in due would horror of war they are still

1:20:03 > 1:20:14suffering the trauma of separation.

1:20:14 > 1:20:17The Andrew Marr Show is on BBC One at 9am.

1:20:17 > 1:20:20What's coming up this morning?

1:20:20 > 1:20:27On the big political stories running today, I've got the outgoing social

1:20:27 > 1:20:32mobility head on why he and his colleagues dramatically quit the

1:20:32 > 1:20:37government overnight. At the Irish deputy Prime Minister talking about

1:20:37 > 1:20:43the crucial border issue. I've got Jacob Rees-Mogg, who many Tories

1:20:43 > 1:20:47want to be their new leader in due course. And I've got the education

1:20:47 > 1:20:51secretary Justine Greening replying for the government. I know you've

1:20:51 > 1:20:54been doing a lot on special educational needs this we and you've

1:20:54 > 1:21:01got many questions you want her to be asked and I will do my very best.

1:21:01 > 1:21:03Thanks. Look forward to it.

1:21:03 > 1:21:06You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

1:21:06 > 1:21:11It's time now for a look at the newspapers.

1:21:11 > 1:21:14The journalist and broadcaster Angela Epstein is here to tell us

1:21:14 > 1:21:15what's caught her eye.

1:21:15 > 1:21:20We'll speak to Angela in a minute.

1:21:20 > 1:21:23First, a look at some of the front pages.

1:21:23 > 1:21:29Starting with the Observer. They are talking about the fact that... We

1:21:29 > 1:21:39are talking about social mobility and his quitting. We are talking

1:21:39 > 1:21:43about the social mobility commission, before Ord members have

1:21:43 > 1:21:46resigned about the fact that they think the government isn't in a

1:21:46 > 1:21:51position to challenge social mobility. -- the four board members.

1:21:51 > 1:21:56The Sunday Telegraph next. Tories at war over European judges is the main

1:21:56 > 1:22:00story. This is a row about Brexit and the role of the European Court

1:22:00 > 1:22:05of Justice. And also you might be able to spot one of a wobbly 793

1:22:05 > 1:22:07pictures of Meghan Markle... Roughly.

1:22:07 > 1:22:13Give or take one or two. The Daily Star is probably the only

1:22:13 > 1:22:16paper not to have Meghan Markle on the front. They are talking about

1:22:16 > 1:22:21England fans in World Cup hell. They say there will be a big problem with

1:22:21 > 1:22:25hooliganism and there's crime in some of the cities. Big problems

1:22:25 > 1:22:29with crime, where the England team will be having some of their

1:22:29 > 1:22:34matches, especially in a city where they will play, Belgium. Ticket

1:22:34 > 1:22:39prices could be as much as £40,000 to go and support England in Russia

1:22:39 > 1:22:43for the World Cup. Of course the jaw took place just the other day. Not

1:22:43 > 1:22:49bad for England in the group stages. Fingers crossed! Shall we talked to

1:22:49 > 1:22:54Angela. Good morning.

1:22:54 > 1:22:59Starting with this story on the Sunday Times about the SAS going to

1:22:59 > 1:23:04ease entry test to woo women. Female applicants may be required to carry

1:23:04 > 1:23:09less and be given more time on your masters.You think that's fair? The

1:23:09 > 1:23:15actual headline made me chuckle because I love the way they say to

1:23:15 > 1:23:21"woo women". Are not looking for a sexist argument, because I am a non-

1:23:21 > 1:23:24feminist rather than a feminist. Equality is for everybody. At its

1:23:24 > 1:23:33the idea of, come with me when I woo you into carrying a heavy sack. This

1:23:33 > 1:23:36is something I've written about extensively, this idea of our women

1:23:36 > 1:23:42and men supposed to be able to do the same job? I also say the same

1:23:42 > 1:23:45thing, that biology doesn't make as an equal, it makes us different. The

1:23:45 > 1:23:51SAS have very known rigourous entry requirements. You have to be able to

1:23:51 > 1:23:55carry the equivalent of an tree on your back of miles of the rain or

1:23:55 > 1:24:00whatever it is. This is a modern complaint about dragging their

1:24:00 > 1:24:05shopping in from the car.You are not going to be wooed any time soon.

1:24:05 > 1:24:12Sorry to disappoint the SAS! But there are certain biological

1:24:12 > 1:24:17conditions. Women are more prone to osteoporosis. There has been

1:24:17 > 1:24:20research about the legal conditions women get when subjected to heavy

1:24:20 > 1:24:24labour. We want any area of national life to have the best people and

1:24:24 > 1:24:33most suited people. If the SAS can "woo women" in the Intelligence

1:24:33 > 1:24:36Corps, absolutely. What this is broad and I am concerned about that.

1:24:36 > 1:24:40I think the SAS will be weaker without your application.Thank you!

1:24:40 > 1:24:47Glad you read the bit that it said about me.Over to your neck story.

1:24:47 > 1:24:51We were talking about being wooed in the headline earlier. Classic

1:24:51 > 1:24:57headline here. Outraged, as GPs boycott mental health checks on gun.

1:24:57 > 1:25:01This is about the fact that GPs historically have been told that

1:25:01 > 1:25:07they have to notify the authorities if someone has a gun licence and

1:25:07 > 1:25:11they see a change in the behaviour and mental health, because

1:25:11 > 1:25:15unfortunately history always makes us very wise and we've seen

1:25:15 > 1:25:19situations where we've had the most disturbing and heinous outrage is

1:25:19 > 1:25:23outraging the full sense of the word, where people who have had

1:25:23 > 1:25:26mental health issues and it has resulted in some terrible, horrible

1:25:26 > 1:25:30crime. But the problem is that male attention and dissonance between GPs

1:25:30 > 1:25:35being told to do this and not wanting to do it, because there is a

1:25:35 > 1:25:37convention -- conventionality agreement about seeing your GP, you

1:25:37 > 1:25:41should be able to see them anything. We should protect that the would

1:25:41 > 1:25:47agree. It also there's an issue about making the general public, the

1:25:47 > 1:25:53broader safety landscape. The BMA are discouraging GPs from this story

1:25:53 > 1:25:56from informing if you like, that's always what it comes down to,

1:25:56 > 1:26:01patients who have got mental health issues, who are also applying for a

1:26:01 > 1:26:05gun licence or have one.We were talking about women in the SAS and

1:26:05 > 1:26:10whether it's an equal playing field for women entering the SAS. Here is

1:26:10 > 1:26:19a bit of fun story about the coal and lives. -- Nicole and Liz. They

1:26:19 > 1:26:23were ratified raise or some kind of charity dinner for women's rights to

1:26:23 > 1:26:28education, but here they are wearing low-cut dresses and serving the main

1:26:28 > 1:26:32dinner.You are right and it's an opportunity to show that ridiculous

1:26:32 > 1:26:38picture. What caught my eye was the one below, because last night was

1:26:38 > 1:26:44the almost final of the X Factor which has been dragged over two very

1:26:44 > 1:26:53long nights. Nicole's act got into the final. They always have a duet

1:26:53 > 1:26:58with somebody well-known. Apparently Simon Cowell said no and that's why

1:26:58 > 1:27:03she was upset. Why have an international singing star singing

1:27:03 > 1:27:07with your act.Thank you. Appreciated. We've got a few more of

1:27:07 > 1:27:09those stories to get through as well.

1:27:09 > 1:27:12We're here on the BBC News Channel until 9am this morning.

1:27:12 > 1:27:15And coming up in the next hour:

1:27:15 > 1:27:20Problem. My mum. Asking what's for tea.

1:27:20 > 1:27:23Who did you last text and what did you say?

1:27:23 > 1:27:25We aren't just being nosey.

1:27:25 > 1:27:29Well, we kind of.

1:27:29 > 1:27:31-- are. Today marks the 25th anniversary

1:27:31 > 1:27:32of the text.

1:27:32 > 1:27:35Has it brought people together or maybe you think the opposite?

1:27:35 > 1:27:37Get in touch and let us know.

1:27:37 > 1:27:41The Travel Show heads to Devon to find out why one woman

1:27:41 > 1:27:42is inventing the world's first flying wheelchair.

1:27:42 > 1:27:47That looks pretty interesting! What was the last text you sent?

1:27:47 > 1:27:52It was to my wife, panicking that I haven't booked a hotel for my mum

1:27:52 > 1:27:56who is coming to visit and I still haven't worked out if I have or not.

1:27:56 > 1:28:00In his crossed! Better get back on the text and work

1:28:00 > 1:28:01it out.

1:28:01 > 1:28:03All that to come on the BBC News Channel.
