05/12/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

The Prime Minister will brief

the Cabinet this morning

after Brexit talks stall.

An agreement with Brussels has been

put on hold over what happens

to the Irish border

when Britain leaves the EU.

We'll be live in Downing Street

and Belfast to assess

what happens next.

Good morning.

It's Tuesday, December 5.

Also this morning: Parents

are warned of the danger

of their children using live,

online streaming services,

after scores of men

are arrested in an operation

against child sex abuse.

A crisis in our oceans -

the United Nations warns

of irreparable damage caused

by a rising tide of plastic waste.

Today we are talking about whether

financial education should be

compulsory in schools. This school

in Manchester is a centre for

excellent when it comes to teaching

young people about money, so I will

chat to them a little bit later.

In sport: England bowl out

Australia in Adelaide.

They've just started batting

and need 354 to win the second Test

and level the Ashes.

Come on!

And Carol has the weather.

It is a fairly quiet day weatherwise

for most of us. It will be cloudy

with a little brightness and showers

in the west. Later, persistent rain

across the north-west of the country

accompanied by strengthening wind.

Then it is all change. I will have

more details in 15 minutes. Thank

you. See you later on.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Theresa May will meet

with her cabinet this morning

after returning from Brussels last

night with no deal to push forward

the Brexit talks.

Negotiations came to a halt

after the Democratic Unionist Party,

who support the Conservative

government, rejected a proposal

to avoid a hard border

between Northern Ireland

and the Republic.

We'll get reaction from our Ireland

correspondent Chris Page

in a moment, but first let's speak

to our political correspondent

Iain Watson, who is in Westminster

for us this morning.

Good morning. This time yesterday we

thought the deal was imminent. When

it comes to Brexit, things are not

simple. Where are we with the talks

it comes to Brexit, things are not

simple. Where are we with the talks?

It is not simple. Negotiations with

the EU always go to the wire and

that is the case here as well.

Theresa May has to explain to her

cabinet what went wrong. There were

very positive noises yesterday.

Instead of moving forward, she has

two main problems. If she wants the

green light on trade talks at next

week's European summit, to get these

other European leaders to do so, in

effect, she has to convince Ireland

there will be no hard border with

Northern Ireland. They could veto

the trade talks if they are

convinced. The problem she has as

suggested is with the DUP, the

Democratic Unionist Party from

Northern Ireland who are propping up

Theresa May's minority government so

they are vitally important and what

they were concerned about is a

compromise floated in Brussels could

in effect, in their view, see an

internal border between Northern

Ireland and the rest of the UK,

which is unacceptable to them, so

they have to have more talks with

the DUP to date. Even yesterday of

course Theresa May's negotiations in

Brussels were into pop --

interrupted with the leader of the

DUP. She has another problem as

well, and that is what happens with

the European Court of Justice, will

it have a continuing role and for

how long after Brexit? It might seem

technical and not as important as

the Ireland issue. It is important

to her MPs. Many of them want to see

jurisdiction by Brussels ending

after we leave the EU. So she has a

lot on her plate. Success today I

think is no longer guaranteed.

Thank

you for the moment.

Thank you for the moment.

Let's speak to our Ireland

correspondent Chris Paige.

So that is the perspective from

Westminster. It looks like the DUP

has scuppered the deal. Is it the

view of other parties in Northern

Ireland this morning?

Yes, people in

Northern Ireland are very much of

the view that it was the DUP's

intervention that made a difference

yesterday as the focus was on

Brussels and that the deal seemed

imminent, then the centre of gravity

switched to Stormont when Arlene

Foster quite dramatically made a

very pointed statement to reporters

to make it clear the deal reported

to be on the table was not

acceptable to her and her party. The

DUP the largest party in Northern

Ireland and they are the only one of

five main parties here who supported

Brexit in the referendum last year.

So the other main parties, the Irish

nationalist parties who want

Northern Ireland in the single

market after Brexit have argued that

the DUP need to put the interests of

Northern Ireland and the need to

protect the Good Friday peace

agreement before the DUP's interest.

Going forward, what will make a

difference to the DUP? The

government has to find a form of

words that satisfy the Irish

government, as Iain said, there will

not be any border post on the

frontier between Northern Ireland

and the Irish Republic under any

circumstances, but the DUP will say

they won't accept anything to create

the potential for new checks between

Northern Ireland and the rest of the

UK. So it is all about finding a

warm of -- form of words that will

satisfy both of those sites and that

is no easy task.

Thank you for the

moment and it is good to speak to

you, Iain, from Westminster as well.

A total ban on plastic

waste entering the ocean

is being considered by environment

ministers from around the world

at a UN meeting in the Kenyan

capital Nairobi this week.

The UN's head of oceans has

described plastic pollution

as a planetary emergency.

Our environment analyst

Roger Harrabin sent this report

from Kenya.

Plastic waste is a global scourge.

At this speech in eastern Kenya

plastic fragments from as far as

Japan harmed the totals which eat

them. Half of the total brought in

for treatment here from eating

plastics and up dead. He is a lucky

total being measured before being

released into sea. It was brought in

seat by a fisherman. Now after

treatment it is being set free. The

UN is discussing what to do about

plastics. Some nations are banning

plastic bags completely. Others are

more reticent. Environmental workers

want more action.

The tremendous

amount of plastic we use in the

economies ends up in the ocean,

which has been seen as a trash dump,

where we dump everything we don't

need and that plastic never goes

away. Mostly it floats on the

surface, it falls down to the bottom

and we urgently need to do something

about it.

Many of the plastics

industry have been carried thousands

of miles from cities inland. In

Nairobi for instance they banned

plastic bags, but look at this

Nairobi for instance they banned

plastic bags, but look at this. The

UN grinds slowly while government

figure out how to progress, ordinary

people have simply got to stop doing

this.

More on that this morning.

Up to one in five patients

are regularly missing GP

appointments, with younger people

being the worst offenders,

according to a new study

by the Lancet Public Health journal.

Three years ago, NHS England

estimated more than 12 million GP

appointments are missed

every year in the UK,

costing in excess of

£162 million annually.

Here's our health

correspondent Dominic Hughes.

At a busy GP surgery in Stockport,

time is precious.

But 10% of the appointments

booked here are missed,

at around a cost of £60 each.

This GP believes it reflects

a changing attitude

towards the NHS among

younger patients.

The NHS is now for our younger

population seen as a consumer

service, a bit like John Lewis.

Perhaps valued differently

to the way our older population

see the NHS.

So I can't remember the last

time my older patients ever

missed an appointment.

That judgement is backed up

by a new research on missed

appointments, patients aged 16-

30 are some of the most likely

to skip an appointment,

with one in five failing to show up

at their local surgery

more than twice.

Appointments that fell within a few

days were more likely to be

missed than those booked

two weeks in advance.

Some of those solutions might

include to better management

to thsoe

who might not attend,

so, for example, that might mean

giving more patients on the day then

up to 2-3 days in advance.

Because we have a profile

of what those patients look

like who are more likely

to maintain, that is where

they can be targeted.

Missed appointments represent

a waste of time and money.

Changing the way we look at it might

sustain the NHS into the future.

And we will talk about

that later as well.

Senior judges in the United States

have ruled that President Donald

Trump's travel ban on six mainly

Muslim countries can go into full

effect, pending legal challenges.

President Trump originally imposed

the ban on travellers from Chad,

Iran, Libya, Somalia,

Syria and Yemen in January,

prompting mass protests

and several legal challenges.

The Supreme Court has now ruled

by seven votes to two in favour

of the ban.

A 14-year-old boy has been charged

with causing the death of an elderly

woman by dangerous driving.

May Laidlaw, who was 78,

was struck by a motorbike

in Liverpool on Saturday.

The teenager is also accused

of failing to stop at the scene

of a collision and driving

without insurance.

Campaigning for snap elections

in Catalonia begins today,

following the constitutional crisis

sparked by a declaration

of independence.

Ousted Catalan leader

Carles Puigdemont says he will try

and win voters from Brussels,

where he fled fearing arrest.

Deposed vice president

Oriol Junqueras will campaign

from jail after a judge

refused to give him bail.

Owning a historic castle

is something many of us might dream

of, but few could make a reality,

unless you're Meghan Markle that is,

but thousands of people

across the world have joined forces

to do just that.

By contributing as little as 45

pounds each, participants raised 500

thousand euros to buy a neglected

13th century chateau in France.

The buyers responded to an online

fundraising call and intend

to restore it to its former glory.

That is gorgeous.

Who can live

there?

Even less than one day a

year. 15 minutes each.

Absolutely

beautiful.

Proper project, that.

It

would cost a lot of money.

Good

morning. One eye on the cricket. I

have just been making notes about

England's performance. Can you see

what I have written? Lucky.

Have we

escaped the couple already?

Well,

they were not lucky yesterday, so

maybe this is payback. There is a

faint glimmer of hope for England's

cricketers.

Five wickets for James Anderson

helped them bowl Australia

out for 138.

They've just started batting

in Adelaide and need 354 to win

the second test and level

the Ashes series.

That was an appeal turned down

against Alastair Cook and I can tell

you had they reviewwd it,

it would have been out,

no umpireses call, just defintely

out, so a bit of a let off already.

The International Olympic Committee

will meet in Lausanne this evening

to decide whether to ban Russia

from the 2018 Winter Olympic Games

in PyeongChang, South Korea

following the state-sponsored doping

programme in operation

during the last Winter Games hosted

in Russia.

Top seed Judd Trump has been

knocked out of the UK

Snooker Championship in York.

The world number two was beaten six

frames to two in the third

round by Graeme Dott.

Liverpool against Everton looks

to be the stand out tie from the FA

Cup third round draw.

Holders Arsenal are away

to Nottingham Forest.

To see all the fixtures,

go to the BBC sport website.

That is the one everyone will be

quite excited about, Liverpool

versus Everton, and sometimes the FA

Cup is the more random matches that

are exciting.

Football fans get

miffed when you put them on TV and

think, well, I could watch it in the

Premier League every season.

Why not

put a small club in? I wonder if

anyone is listening.

It is about the

guaranteed audience.

They are

downstairs, not upstairs.

They are

everywhere!

16 for no wicket right

now.

I don't know how you can see

that.

It is a long way away.

We are

watching the cricket just for the

news purposes.

Yes.

Shall we have a look at the weather?

It is not going to be mild.

cloudy and mild. It's wet and windy.

Some of

cloudy and mild. It's wet and windy.

Some of seeing a mixture of sweet,

snow and also some pale but not

everywhere. Back to this morning

first of all. It's the cloudy start

and relatively mild. It won't rise

that much more. Parts of north-west

England and Ireland. The main theme

is the cloudy one. The squad pocket

but nothing too substantial. As we

go through the course of the day,

some brightness will develop. Fairly

limited. Elsewhere, some brightness.

Fairly transient. The emphasis is on

a fair bit of cloud. And we have

more persistent rain coming in

across the north-west and the wind

he was also going to strengthen.

Temperatures at between eight and 10

degrees. If anything, it is great to

be with us the rest of the day.

Again, a breezy night. In they will

be the exception rather than the

rule. Temperature-wise, 6-8 or nine

degrees. For Wednesday, the weather

around, especially across central

parts of England and through the

Wiest -- through the east. Two bands

of rain. Later in the day, the

second. Windy as well. Those bands

of rain will rattle through quite

quickly. I want to focus on the

wind. You can see the pressure

chart. Storm force winds across the

north and west. All that rattling

through quite quickly. We got some

showers coming in behind. Look how

falling. So, by the end of the week.

This cold air filters in. Some of us

will see some snow.

This cold air filters in. Some of us

will see some snow. We have been

warned. Wind, snow on the way. Quite

a bit to get through.

The icy blast leads some of the

front pages. The Express.

I'm sure I

saw it.

I'm sure it was in the

Express. This is what is happening

today.

The Prime Minister will brief her

Cabinet this morning,

after returning from Brussels

without a deal to push forward

the Brexit talks.

The world's environment ministers

are gathered in Kenya,

debating what to do about plastic

waste in our oceans.

debating what to do about plastic

waste in our oceans.

That

waste in our oceans.

That story

waste in our oceans.

That story Louise

waste in our oceans.

That story Louise mentioned

waste in our oceans.

That story Louise mentioned is

waste in our oceans.

That story Louise mentioned is on

waste in our oceans.

That story Louise mentioned is on

the front pages of some of the

newspapers. The battle to save our

blue planet. Duped, however you

would like to say it, the DUP

scuppered Brexit talks after

blocking a deal and you are bored.

We will both sides of the debate at

the press conference is followed by

phone calls by meeting the rest of

it, so much going on yesterday.

Theresa May said there were other

things that had not been quite

worked out. This is what has come

out of those

She has come back home, and how put

a difficult conversations. Talking

about that track the morning. The

front page of the Sun. Meghan Markle

talks about the fractured

relationship with her dad. The

Telegraph talking about what

happened yesterday with the European

Union.

They are saying this is from

Google. The head of planning at

Twitter? What is he?

We can check

for you. Google has pledged to

deploy an army of 10,000 staff to go

through violent extremist content

that endangers children on YouTube.

Very interesting. They talk about

payments, the big moments of the

year. Will let you know later.

This

is another story we've mentioned.

Almost 200 paedophiles arrested in

one week after stalking children on

on line streaming apps.

We will play

with when there is a nine-year-old

girl on line. Periscope, I think.

They say the number of those 100

people watching who were grown man

is quite alarming. The front page of

the Guardian. DUP Rex Theresa May's

Brexit deal, a day of chaos as the

Irish border agreement fails and a

snapshot of Theresa May.

On the back

page of the times, a story about

Newcastle united and Amanda Staveley

who's given Mike catchily a

fortnight to accept £250 million to

buy the club. She says it has to

happen now or the whole deal will

have to be rejigged. She'd have to

find new people. He is stalling,

saying it doesn't isn't quite enough

cash. Interestingly, if they were to

be relegated, the value of the club

would be halved. Staying with cash,

let's look at the back page of the

mirror. Rahim Sterling has stalled

his talks with Manchester City

because there is the possibility of

reviving the bid with rearm Madrid.

I do a medal when he moved to

Manchester City, lots of stories in

the papers at the time about lots of

different clubs being interested in

him. That is something we will see

at the moment as his contract talks

have hit a bit of a moment, if you

like.

I have to bird stories.

I have

the Vladimir Putin story.

And I have

a robot therapist story.

Pigeons can

understand space and time.

They are

good at getting back home.

We never

thought they would have that part of

the brain were they can judge a

length of lines and which lines

stayed on the computer screens is

the longest. Also, DNA or chit chat

from your Dartford warbler? There is

a little taste for you. -- do you

know your chief chaff? The one

degree of rising temperature means

birds like the night heron, cattle

egrets, the black winged stilts on

the Dartford warbler are back.

Let's

look at the Dartford warbler, it's

very beautiful.

Very beautiful.

Their numbers were terribly low for

a North -- an awful long time. They

are migrating back. I think we may

have mentioned this. This is about

therapists. I will show you a

picture. It is a robot. Apparently,

we talked about it before, but they

really are quite an effective way of

helping people with cognitive

behavioural therapy, asking people

questions.

Is this what you would

like the Christmas? This is Vladimir

Putin's 2018 calendar. Its

bestselling calendar the next year.

You can see Vladimir Putin with his

top off holding a gun, cuddling a

small snow Leopard, forming karate,

hugely popular in Russia and the

Russian news agency claiming it is

also selling out very quickly in

Britain.

He needs a giant scarf.

Just £210. Would you fancy that? No

armholes.

I would wear that all --

all day.

I would wear that watching

tally.

Its Bulgarian, apparently.

Parents are being warned

about the dangers of live streaming

apps, after it emerged paedophiles

are increasingly using it

to manipulate their victims.

The caution from the National

Crime Agency follows

a week-long operation by UK

authorities, which led to the arrest

of more than 190 people for child

sexual abuse offences,

as Angus Crawford reports.

Hands up all those who have used

live streaming? Aged 13 and 14, they

know about apps which let children

broadcast live from their phones.

Today, they are talking about how to

do it safely. Somebody could be

trying to take you. The apps are

quick to download, easy to use.

These pupils could go live in the

playground, the street or even their

own bedrooms.

Sometimes it can be

quite dangerous because if someone

is following someone they don't

know, they will be able to see it.

Like, you don't know who is watching

you. The real problem with some of

these apps is there is no proper

checking of age identification is

that means a live streaming service

with a 17 rating could be used by

children as young as this or even

younger, eight or nine. Look at

this. A boy and a girl on the

Periscope. Now read the comments. We

don't want to identify them. She is

just nine. Almost a thousand people

are watching and they're mostly

adult men. We can't show you the

worst of the comments. Periscope

told us it had zero tolerance for

this kind of behaviour but we found

it on other apps to and the children

caught up in it, the consequences

can be devastating.

I found her

inconsolable.

This is an actress but

the words are true. Those of a

mother whose 10-year old daughter

tried out the act Omegle for fun.

He

switched his web cam on, showed him

her private parts and asked her to

take photos of herself, which she

did. She was terrified by what had

happened and scared of what she'd

done.

It offers offenders an

immediate connection to children and

young people that is one allows them

to manipulate children and young

people, often excitement, sympathy,

connection, emotional connection,

involve them with games and trickery

and we see children getting

basically Matteck related to do

things that ultimately they are very

uncomfortable about and don't want

to do.

A campaign video launched

today warning about the dangers of

live streaming aimed at young people

and their parents and posing a stark

question: when children broadcast

live to the world from their own

bedrooms, can they really stay safe?

Angus Crawford, BBC News.

But send us in your thoughts on that

one.

And you can see the latest advice

for keeping children safe online

on CEOP's Think You Know website.

Carol has loads of weather, she

keeps telling us. A very interesting

picture this week. And we will bring

you up-to-date with the second test

in the Ashes. Sally and about seven

minutes' time. We still haven't lost

a wicket, which is very good news.

Hold on to the coach -- the couch.

No doubt is going to be exciting.

Steph is in a primary school talking

about money and what age children

should know about it.

We have some

keen beans hard at work and learning

about money. There should be more

financial education taught in

schools. Tell us what you've been

learning about.

We've been learning

about foreign currencies and

exchange rates.

What currencies have

you got so far?

Dollars in America,

pounds in the UK and yen to use in

China. We will be talking about why

all of this is so important. Hearing

all about financial education. More

from us later.

Vanessa is on BBC Radio London. I

will be back.

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

Coming up on Breakfast today:

As the amount of plastic in the sea

is described as a global crisis.

We'll ask the head of oceans

for the UN what can be done.

We'll also find out why one in five

patients regularly miss their GP

appointments, and why it's usually

young men who don't turn up.

And from political memes to chicken

nuggets, we'll talk to Twitter

about this year's top re-tweets.

Good morning.

Here's a summary of this morning's

main stories from BBC News.

Theresa May will meet

with her cabinet this morning

after returning from Brussels last

night with no deal to push forward

the Brexit talks.

Negotiations came to a halt

after the Democratic Unionist Party,

who support the Conservative

government, rejected a proposal

to avoid a hard border

between Northern Ireland

and the Republic.

Our political correspondent

Iain Watson is at Westminster

for us this morning.

for us this morning.

It was an extraordinary day. There

was a deal that seemed nearly done

and then suddenly it wasn't and now

the PM is empty-handed. How

embarrassing is this?

It looked

positive yesterday, far less now of

course and Theresa May has two big

political headaches at the moment,

the political migraine, the big one

is dealing with the Democratic

Unionist Party, relatively small in

Westminster terms, they are propping

up the government, and they were

worried yesterday she would

compromise with the Irish Republic

on keeping regulations very similar,

north and south of the border, after

Brexit. They thought it might create

an internal border between Northern

Ireland and the rest of the UK. So

now she has to focus effort on

getting them on board and finding

some form of words that will keep

them happy. If she can't do that it

is only half of the problem. That

has to be acceptable to the Irish

government. They could in effect

veto import and trade talks that

need to take place in Theresa May's

view if they believe she is not

guaranteeing there will be no hard

border on the republic of Ireland.

Thank you.

A total ban on plastic

waste entering the ocean

is being considered by environment

ministers from around the world

at a UN meeting in the Kenyan

capital Nairobi this week.

More than eight million tons

of plastic is dumped in the ocean

annnually, with China responsible

for around a quarter of it.

The UN has described the issue

as a planetary emergency.

New research shows that nearly

a fifth of patients are regularly

missing GP appointments.

The study, published

in the journal, The Lancet Public

Health, says that poorer,

younger men living in affluent areas

are the least likely to turn up.

The problem's estimated to cost

the NHS at least £162

million a year.

Senior judges in the United States

have ruled that President Donald

Trump's travel ban on six mainly

Muslim countries can go into full

effect, pending legal challenges.

President Trump originally imposed

the ban on travellers from Chad,

Iran, Libya, Somalia,

Syria and Yemen in January,

prompting mass protests

and several legal challenges.

The Supreme Court has now ruled

by seven votes to two in favour

of the ban.

A 14-year-old boy has been charged

with causing the death of an elderly

woman by dangerous driving.

May Laidlaw, who was 78,

was struck by a motorbike

in Liverpool on Saturday.

The teenager is also accused

of failing to stop at the scene

of a collision and driving

without insurance.

Campaigning for snap elections

in Catalonia begins today,

following the constitutional crisis

sparked by a declaration

of independence.

Ousted Catalan leader

Carles Puigdemont says he will try

and win voters from Brussels,

where he fled fearing arrest.

The deposed vice president

will campaign from jail

after a judge refused

to give him bail.

If you're away on a long trip

you can really start to crave

a taste of home...

Post for me.

I missed eight beans.

Toast and baked bean.

and that's exactly what

happened to Paolo Nespoli,

an Italian astronaut who's aboard

the International Space Station.

He missed his favourite food so much

that he brought it up with his boss

back on earth.

The result?

Pizza in space.

That is a strange...

That does not

look like Epico that I think I want.

They are in space, apparently. --

that does not look like a pizza but

I think I want.

Without a delivery service nearby,

NASA sent up the ingredients

to construct some pizzas that

were out of this world.

Paolo and the rest of the Expedition

53 crew wasted no time

putting them together.

It looks like a scene from Read

Dwarf.

Yes, and how do the loose

stay on the Peter?

The first one was

definitely pepperoni.

That wasn't a

pizza.

When you have been eating

space food for an awful long time,

pepperoni can send you over the

edge. Now, I don't want to get too

excited, but we haven't lost a week

at!

I can see a twinkle in those

eyes -- wicket!

It is like being a

rollercoaster with Dan.

Yesterday,

it even yesterday, Dan said we had a

chance.

I said that we were going to

win it. It could change. It is a

good start.

I can explain it. The

maths is simple. It is 354 to win

and it has been done before. 418 is

the highest successful run chase.

There is a faint glimmer of hope

for England's cricketers.

James Anderson finished with five

wickets as Australia were bowled

out for 138.

That means England need 354 to win

the second test and level

the Ashes series.

They've been batting since just

before 6am our time and have had

a bit of luck but so far so good.

They are into the 30s, I think 36,

without losing a wicket with one of

the half days left. There will be a

result one way or another. I am

looking at my colleague, no.

Just

watching replays of early wickets to

inspire the Australian.

We will keep

you posted, I promise you.

Batsman Alex Hales has been told

he won't face criminal charges over

an incident outside a Bristol

nightclub in September,

and is available for

immediate selection.

Hales could join the squad

for England's ODI and T20

matches in Australia.

He was with Ben Stokes,

who was arrested on suspicion

of causing actual

bodily harm in Bristol.

Arsenal will begin the defence

of their FA Cup title with a a trip

to Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool will play Everton

at Anfield in the pick

of the third round ties.

Elsewhere Middlesbrough

take on Sunderland.

To see all the fixtures,

go to the BBC sport website.

We'll know later whether Russia

will be banned from the Winter

Olympics.

They missed Rio because of

state-sponsored doping.

The International Olympic Committee

will meet in Lausanne this evening

to decide if they've changed enough

to compete in South Korea.

You make a mistake, you took the

doping, you have to be punished. It

is exactly what the World

Anti-Doping Agency do and what the

IOC do. Collective responsibility,

it is not possible especially for

clean athletes who really dream

about the Olympic Games.

We are a principled organisation.

Here are the facts. The conduct was

unacceptable and a country acting in

that matter should not participate

in the next games.

Nine years late but Britain's Kelly

Sotherton is to be awarded a bronze

medal from the 2008 Olympic Games.

It comes after Russian heptathlete

Tatyana Chernova lost an appeal

against a doping violation.

As we've been hearing this morning,

the cost of missed GP appointments

in the UK is estimated to be 162

million pounds each year.

A study by the Lancet Public Health

found the patients

who are most likely not to turn up

are young adults and people

from the most deprived areas.

One of the lead researchers,

Ross McQueenie, from the University

of Glasgow, joins us now.

Good morning. Thank you for coming

in to discuss it with us this

morning. Generally speaking, why are

so many appointments being missed?

It is quite difficult to quantify

exactly what is happening to allow

people to miss appointments. We know

from research that people most

likely to miss appointments are

those from the most deprived areas.

We know that these people in

particular have levels of a net

need, so they don't feel they are

getting the most out of the health

service and they are socially

vulnerable -- unmet need. They tend

to have undergone significant

adversity in their lives. So all of

these factors contribute to the

likelihood of non-attendance.

And it

seems the serial non-attendance,

would that be fair?

Yes. It tends to

be that people from deprived

areas...

They don't attend again and

again?

Yes, 46% miss appointments

over the course of three years we

looked at.

Which is worrying.

It is

quite a high level. As we have

already said, it is important that

we allow people who miss

appointments to properly re-engage

with the health service. They have

significant levels of unmet need and

they feel they are not moving

through the health system or they

are not getting adequate treatment

so it is a big health issue.

It

seems so sure economic factors are a

contributing factor to this

research. Yes, certainly. We found

people in the most deprived areas

are about twice as likely to miss

appointments as people in the most

affluent areas.

In research we

looked at both the patient factors

driving people to miss appointments

and also the practices as well. It

is a bit of a two way St. There are

aspects that cause you to miss

appointments as a patient and also

things at gigabits practices that

they can do to help people attend.

Do you think it is a generational

difference from the way people see

the health service? -- GP practices.

It is hard to know what's going on.

We know that older people tend to

have long-term conditions.

Effectively the long-term conditions

mean you are likely to attend the

appointment because it would be for

a particularly serious condition. He

mentioned the system, and I see from

the research it is cheekily

appointments booked two to three

days in advance which I missed. Is

there a need to seriously look at

the way that appointments can be

made?

I think so. We found from the

research that you are twice as

likely to turn up if you book on the

day. We don't think all appointments

should be on the day. We think if

someone has missed a lot of

appointments, or someone who is

likely to miss appointments,

offering them something on the day

they make the appointment makes it

likely to turn up.

And given what

you have said about the people

missing appointments, that it should

ring alarm bells in the surgery if

someone is continually missing

appointments?

Yes, but we think that

there needs to be consultation

between GPs and patients to find out

what's going on to make people miss

appointments. No one wants to miss

an appointment and not be treated

properly and not feel you are

getting the health service. That

level of unmet need is to be looked

at.

Thank you.

Let's find out what's happening with

the weather this morning.

Good

the weather this morning.

Good morning. It is certainly very

busy. We have almost everything in

the forecast. We have a fine and

mild start today. It will be fairly

cloudy for most of us. Wet and

windy, very windy in fact, midweek

in the north and west with

Stormforce Coaching is and then it

is turning cold with some snow at

low levels -- storm force winds. We

start with relatively mild weather,

the odd pocket of four is the

exception rather than the rule, and

in the west of the UK there is the

odd shower -- wide pocket of fog.

Then we have a band of rain across

the Northern Isles. Through the

course of the day we will see some

brightness develop, albeit fairly

limited, the best out of seeing it

across north-east Scotland, down

into north-east England, elsewhere

at with brightness it will be

transient and it will be breezy. The

wind strengthening through the day

in the north and here we will see

persistent rain setting in. When the

rain set in, it will be with us not

just through the afternoon and

evening but also overnight as well.

Through the overnight period, still

quite windy, particularly in the

north with the rain. Quite a bit of

cloud where the cloud breaks. Patchy

mist and fog forming. That will be

the exception rather than the rule.

Temperatures between six and nine

degrees. As we move into Wednesday

itself, we are looking at a lot of

dry weather, cloudy, quite windy,

then a band of rain comes from the

west, moving through quickly, driven

along by the wind, then later in the

day the second band comes in.

Temperatures nine to about 12

degrees. The wind will become a

feature of the weather. I will show

you that on the pressure chart. We

have the first band of rain coming

through, the second coming in. Look

at the isobars. We have a squeeze on

the isobars across the north and

north-west of Scotland. This is

where we could look at storm force

winds with gusts up to 90 miles an

hour. The wind is coming in from the

north-west. That is a cold

direction. As we start Thursday

morning there will be wintry showers

at low levels to the north and west.

Meanwhile the rain rattles through

with the strong wind into the

south-eastern corner with showers

left in its wake in the north-west.

We could have a wintry flavoured

with them. You will notice the

difference in temperature, 4-6 in

the north, ten in the south. The

cold air winds out against the warm

air. You can see the yellow pushing

away, right across the UK, so as we

head into Friday, it will be a

fairly windy day with a lot of dry

weather and around. Also, some

wintry showers in the west. Away

from the coast we will see some of

the snow accumulating some parts of

the west. And Newcastle will feel

more like -3, so it is getting

colder.

A big coat and everything to

prepare. Thank you.

how children learn about money. She

has gone to a primary school that is

teaching children as young as five

about finance.

Good morning and welcome

to Sacred Heart Primary in Gorton -

these guys have been learning

about money in their classes -

and this school has been awarded

a Centre of Excellence on the topic

This school is a centre that at all.

I went to join one of their lessons.

Good morning Year 6 and welcome to

your young money lesson. We have a

special student in today. Come,

Steph.

Good morning, Steph.

special student in today. Come,

Steph.

Good morning, Steph.

Good

morning, everyone. Today, we are

looking at foreign currency. Talk to

the person on your table about all

the currencies you know. Can you

tell me the official name of the

currency we use in Great Britain?

Well done, Steph. Steph has a little

drawing on there. OK, this table,

give me one.

Do you like this class?

We learn about money and saving it

and what to do with it. And D think

that's useful?

Yes. It helps me with

maps and I think I'm pretty good at

maths saunter no, if I'm travelling

somewhere, I want to know how much I

need and the convergence between

everything.

It helps of my grandma

because she is Polish and she

sometimes asked me about pounds. So

I tell her in English.

Oh, that's

lovely. Good. Right, guys, I've got

to go back to work but before I go,

what do I need I'm going to spend?

Pounds. What about America?

Dollars.

See you.

We are going to talk to some adults

now about all of this. Gloria's dad.

For you, tell us about why you think

it's important your daughter learns

about money. The me, it is very

important. A different part of the

country, they are using different

money. When she grows up, she needs

to know, if she saved some money

goes, this country is dollars all.

When she is travelling around. A

supraclavicular as well. I was

chatting to her review -- earlier

on. Financial education is

important. You run lots of schemes.

Part of the problem is, it's not

compulsory in England and therefore,

lots of different things going on.

Tells about some of the schemes. In

secondary schools, we have financial

education on the national curriculum

but they don't have to adhere to the

national curriculum. That's not to

say they are not doing it. In

primary school, we don't have

financial education. We feel it's

really important that it is fair.

And we are doing that today, this

school, Sacred Heart, a fantastic

example. The school has really shown

commitment to financial education.

Now supporting other schools. It's

fair to say the area we are in is a

deprived area. Even more important.

In deprived areas and those more

affluent areas, the focus is

slightly different on what we are

trying to achieve. It's not about

what we have done in schools only.

Obviously. Mums have a part to play

in teaching kids how to deal with

money. I think probably one of the

things to do is to give the kids

pocket money and to help them manage

that small Budget and make decisions

about spending it on seats or a

magazine. These are useful lessons.

To you give Gloria pocket money?

Yes, I give her some. Very good,

different country. She knows that

money is Congolese. She is very

clear what to use.

Well, thank you

very much. You have been super site

in the background. Should we say

goodbye to run? Thank you very much.

Excellently you about that. She does

cajole children, doesn't she?

She

would make an excellent teacher but

we don't want her to do that.

You

might want to bury in mind a tweet

written by Hayley Webster.

She wrote about the most treasured

festive gift she was given -

a sheet of music for "We're Walking

in the Air", from The Snowman.

It was given to her

by her dad's girlfriend.

Within 24 hours, her words

were retweeted more

than 12-thousand times.

So we thought we'd ask Christmas

shoppers what thoughtful

gifts they'd received.

I was just talking about Advent

calendars and how I don't eat

chocolate ones and he surprised me

with a beauty calendar with my

favourite make upset.

A trip to

Australia was one of the best ones.

My name is quite thoughtful, she

tries to think of stuff that is just

from her so a couple of years ago,

she gave me a bracelet that was

owned by her mum.

As silk shirt, I

didn't expect that.

I had a

beautiful photo album that my friend

may be -- made me, and when I was a

baby and all my family, it was a

lovely present.

I'm quite practical,

to be honest, so I don't get me

thoughtful presents.

There is always

a list that you get. Any present is

good, really, at the end of the day.

One of my favourites last year was

an enormous packet of wine gums

because I don't go by the myself

that the person who gave them to me

knows that I really love them. So

much so, that I can't buy them.

Black or red. My two favourites.

We

are similar on this issue. When it

went to Brazil last year, but the

Olympics, my eldest daughter made me

a bracelet. She had the same

bracelet. It was incredibly

thoughtful. Bank is telling us about

your thoughtful gifts. When were

poor and struggling when I was

younger, my parents wrapped up

individual cans of soft drinks so we

have lots of presents to open. It

was in the mid-1990s but back then,

it was incredibly thoughtful.

And

they don't need to cost a lot of

money, thoughtful gifts. That is

when you hit the jackpot. When you

find something somebody really wants

or is historically important was

really touching and meaningful, it's

the look on the face when you open

it. I remember I got a bottle of

ketchup a few years ago from 90 to

Christmas. My mum looked at me to

say, you should be grateful. It's

something that means so much.

I will be back.

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

The Prime Minister will brief

to the Irish border

when Britain leaves the EU.

We'll be live in Downing Street

and Belfast to assess

And Carol has the weather.

Good morning. It is a fairly cloudy

day today with some brightness and

showers in the west. Then the wind

strengthens. Through the middle of

the week the wind will be a feature

of the weather. Stormforce Coaching

is in the north and then at the end

of the week it will turn much more

cold with some of our seeing some

snow -- storm force winds.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Theresa May will meet

with her cabinet this morning

after returning from Brussels last

night with no deal to push forward

the Brexit talks.

Negotiations came to a halt

after the Democratic Unionist Party,

who support the Conservative

government, rejected a proposal

to avoid a hard border

between Northern Ireland

and the Republic.

We'll get reaction from our Ireland

correspondent Chris Page

in a moment, but first let's speak

to our political correspondent

Iain Watson, who is in Westminster

for us this morning.

Now, we really thought yesterday at

some point that a deal was imminent,

then it wasn't. What is going on,

and how embarrassing is it for

Theresa May to come back with no

deal?

Theresa May is putting a brave

face on it. She will meet her

Cabinet this morning and tell them

what has gone wrong. She is keen to

keep negotiations going this week.

She will talk directly with the DUP

today because they are absolutely

vital, they are propping up her

minority government. They were

unhappy with the idea that the

compromise floated in Brussels could

potentially create an internal

border between Northern Ireland and

the rest of the UK. That wasn't

acceptable to them. It is a

difficult circle for Theresa May

Tahrir Square because if she keeps

the DUP happy, will she upset the

Irish government? They want a

guarantee that there will be no hard

border. They want to see regulations

remaining the same in Northern

Ireland and the Republic of Ireland

as they are now. The DUP might see

that as a continuation of EU rules.

Effectively, staying in the customs

union or single market would be

unacceptable. She has a huge

challenge to meet. To sort out this

problem and other problems

outstanding in Brussels.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Let's speak to our Ireland

correspondent Chris Paige.

As Iain said, Theresa May taking

care with the other problems, but it

seems it hangs on the DUP. So what

do they want exactly?

Northern

Ireland say it was the DUP

intervention that made the

difference. The focus was on

Brussels and then it switched

dramatically to Stormont with Arlene

Foster flanked by MPs who hold the

balance of power at Westminster. She

was not happy with the proposals on

the table in the Brexit talk. So the

DUP to their supporters have stood

up for their principles, they

protected Northern Ireland from some

degree of separation from the rest

of the UK. The DUP are the largest

party in Northern Ireland. They are

the only one of the fighters

supported Brexit at the referendum.

Other parties, the Irish

nationalists, who want to stay in

the single market, said the DUP did

not act in the best interest of

Northern Ireland and that the

government should stand up to them.

As far as a way forward goes, the

government have to find words to

satisfy the Irish government that

there will not be any border post.

If they want to keep the DUP on

board they have to find something to

convince them that there will not be

any checks between Northern Ireland

and the rest of the UK. It will be a

very difficult negotiating task.

Yes. We will watch it here. After

you.

Sorry. In about ten minutes, we

will discuss the breakdown over

Brexit talks and what it means for

Theresa May and the future... If we

knew that, that would be great,

wouldn't it?

Yes.

Within the last few minutes,

it's been announced that train fares

are set to rise by an average

of 3.4% from the start

of next year.

Sorry for that news this morning.

It was confirmed back in August

that regulated fares,

that's regular journeys at peak

times would go up by 3.6%.

The new figure reflects a slightly

lower increase to unregulated fares,

which covers advanced

off-peak trips.

Andy Moore has just spoken

to the Rail Delivery Group,

representing train operators.

Andy, how did they

arrive at this figure?

As you say, it is a calculation in

two parts. In August we heard about

the regulated fares are set by the

government where you don't have much

choice about buying your train fare

when you commit to a big city

purchasing a season ticket. That was

set at 3.6% based on the rate of

inflation, the highest figure in

several years. Today the companies

have set the other half of fares,

the unregulated section, where you

have a choice about whether you want

to buy the ticket or not and they

set the fares at under the rate of

inflation, giving the average of

3.4% overall. The body representing

the train company says this is what

passengers will be getting for their

money.

Over the next 18 months it

has been a truly unprecedented time

of investment improvement. People

are starting to see it coming

through. There will be more trains

across the country, more carriages

across the country, more reliable,

providing more seats, exactly what

customers want, so that we can boost

economic growth and provide better

jobs for people.

And these fares

come into effect on January the

second for England and way. No

increase is planned in Northern

Ireland. Scotland sets its own fares

and they will be a bit lower than

the headline figure.

It is good to

talk to you this morning. Thank you.

A total ban on plastic

waste entering the ocean

is being considered by environment

ministers from around the world

at a UN meeting in the Kenyan

capital Nairobi this week.

The UN's head of oceans has

described plastic pollution

as a planetary emergency.

Our environment analyst

Roger Harrabin sent this report

from Kenya.

Plastic waste is a global scourge.

At this beach in eastern Kenya,

plastic fragments from as far

as Japan harm the turtles

which eat them.

Half of the turtles brought

in for treatment here from eating

plastics and up dead.

Here is a lucky turtle

being measured before

being released into sea.

It was brought in by a fisherman.

Now after treatment

it is being set free.

The UN is discussing

what to do about

plastics.

Some nations are banning

plastic bags completely.

Others are more reticent.

Environmentalists want

much faster action.

The tremendous amount of plastic

we use in the economies ends up

in the ocean, which has been

seen as a trash dump,

where we dump everything we don't

need and that plastic never goes

away.

Mostly it floats on the surface,

it falls down to the bottom

and we urgently need

to do something about it.

Many of the plastics in the sea have

been carried thousands of miles

from cities inland.

In Nairobi, for instance,

they banned plastic bags,

but look at this.

The UN grinds slowly,

while governments figure out how

to progress, ordinary people have

simply got to stop doing this.

More on that this morning.

Up to one in five patients

are regularly missing GP

appointments, with younger people

being the worst offenders,

according to a new study

by the Lancet Public Health journal.

Three years ago, NHS England

estimated more than 12 million GP

appointments are missed

every year in the UK,

costing in excess of

£162 million annually.

Senior judges in the United States

Syria and Yemen in January,

prompting mass protests

and several legal challenges.

How do you feel about owning a

historic castle?

I would love that.

It is many people's dream.

Owning a historic castle

is something many of us might dream

of, but few could make a reality,

unless you're Meghan Markle that is,

but thousands of people

across the world have joined forces

to do just that.

By contributing as little as 45

pounds each, participants raised 500

thousand euros to buy a neglected

13th century chateau in France.

The buyers responded to an online

fundraising call and intend

to restore it to its former glory.

What a fabulous idea. It shows the

power of putting a little money

together.

Let's return to our main story this

morning, and the fallout from the UK

and the EU failing to reach a deal,

that would have allowed them to move

on to the next phase

of Brexit negotiations.

As we've been reporting,

it is understood the talks broke

down after the DUP refused

to accept concessions

on the Irish border issue.

The story dominates the papers

here and in Ireland.

The Irish Times its running with

the line that Ireland's President

says that Mrs May reneged

on Brexit Border deal.

And the Irish Daily Star says

the Irish President has come out

fighting and that the DUP

and Mrs May have messed up the deal.

The Belfast Telegraph merely says

"May Day".

Let's discuss this in more detail

with Kathryn Simpson,

a Politics lecturer

at Manchester Metropolitan

University.

Thank you once again for coming on

the programme this morning. We will

have a look at the papers here as

well while speaker you. Can you

remind us first up what the various

sides of this discussion are

demanding?

It is inherently complex.

We have talked about it at length.

What the Irish government and Dublin

would like to see is the all Ireland

free border. So staying in the

customs union and in the single

market. And in ensuring that free

trade that we see at the moment as

EU member states between the UK and

the Republic of Ireland.

Continued

as is.

Absolutely. They would have

seen that in policy papers as well

that have come through. This is

obviously very unpalatable for the

DUP who campaigned very hard for a

high Brexit and they are currently

propping up the UK government at the

moment. They would see that as more

alignment towards Ireland which they

don't want to see. This is what we

saw Arlene Foster come out to say

yesterday that there would be no

diverted on the UK position of

leaving the European Union. We will

be leaving the union as a UK - there

will be no special status for

Northern Ireland. That is something

that Sinn Fein called for straight

after the EU referendum result for

Northern Ireland. The UK government

meanwhile has said it wants an open

flexible border between the Republic

of Ireland and Northern Ireland, but

hasn't given any clear solutions as

to what that will be. They are the

three positions we are dealing with.

As you have highlighted, it is a

delicate balance. You might presume

that before the government had gone

to the European Union that they

might have worked that out, but it

doesn't seem that was necessarily

the case.

The reason Theresa May

went to Brussels was she would get a

deal. I believe that is why she

went. In the morning they were very

confident when she came out with

Jean-Claude Juncker to say we are

confident of a deal by lunchtime.

That started to waver. At teatime it

was all off. It was extraordinary

for politics and for Brexit

negotiations. There is indication

that the DUP did know. The

complexity about this is over the

language. We haven't said that we

are staying in the union, but there

is this kind of alignment so to

speak, which is what the DUP are

struggling with, the alignment and

the shift towards Dublin as opposed

to London.

Let me show you the Times

this morning, Theresa May fights to

save the deal after the veto. In the

front of the Telegraph, Theresa

May's push for deal ends in chaos.

This is how it is being reflected in

the UK. Yes, this is an Irish issue

at the moment. It could have

ramifications for Scotland and Wales

and others as well.

Absolutely.

Yesterday on Twitter Carwyn Jones,

Nicola Sturgeon, said if there is

special status or arrangement for

Northern Ireland, then the other

devolved administrations have to

have the same thing. This is one of

the complexities of Brexit

negotiations, there has been a clear

emphasis on economics and trade

after the referendum and going

forward, but what we are seeing now

is politics is equally as important

as economics and this is what the

political diversity and the

difficulty of that in all the

constituent parts of the UK is

something that will have to be

addressed.

The DUP has been so

influential in this because of the

general election.

Absolutely, front

and centre of this because of the

result of the general election,

because they are propping up Theresa

May's government. They have a strong

hand in all of this, which would

have been the case if we didn't have

the general election in June.

There

is so much to talk about and I know

we will continue to have this

conversation.

I tell you who won't be back

I tell you who won't be back in this

Test match, Alistair Cooke is out.

That is sad news from Adelaide.

Dan

is in a state of optimism.

We are in

a very good position. Let us find

out if

a very good position. Let us find

out if the weather is good. The sum

of others, it not too bad at all. A

quiet weather. Barely cloudy with

some brighter breaks but as we head

into the mid-week period, wet and

windy, particularly windy in the

north. With some of us seeing some

snow. We got the odd pocket of fog.

Again, nothing too sinister at all.

And the odd shower. We do have some

rain across the Northern Isles.

Breezy, not particularly so. That

will strengthen as we go through the

course of the day and it will become

windy. When the rain sets in the

north-west, we've got it not just

the rest of the day, and the most of

the UK, it will be dry. We will see

some breaks developed in the cloud.

Do this evening in overnight, the

rain, still quite gusty winds.

Again, we have reason the Southee.

Patchy mist and fog. Not a

particularly cold night. Tomorrow,

to weather fronts coming our way.

After a dry start to most, the first

weather front comes in from the

west. The rain will go through quite

quickly. Things will start to liven

up. Rattling through quickly on the

wind. The isobars, is going to be

windy. There is a potential, looking

at those isobars here. Gust of wind,

80 miles an hour. It's going to be

particularly windy. It is coming

from a cold direction, the Northwest

itself. Those wintry showers will

progressively be following. We see

the rain in the strong winds rattled

through quite quickly. Showers in

the West. Some of those will be

wintry in nature. That opens the

door to this cold air to push right

the way across the UK. Some of us

are seeing some snow.

Carroll, thank

you very much. Tonight, the best

winners of the UK. The first time,
