0:01:46 > 0:01:48First, our main story.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50The foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, is due to arrive
0:01:50 > 0:01:53in Iran shortly, where he will express what he describes as "grave
0:01:53 > 0:01:55concerns" over the imprisonment of the British-Iranian woman,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Mr Johnson is also expected to discuss Britain's wider
0:02:06 > 0:02:07relations with Iran.
0:02:07 > 0:02:18Here's our diplomatic correspondent, James Robbins.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Boris Johnson's first visit to Iran could hardly be more sensitive. Last
0:02:23 > 0:02:26month he was accused of damaging the case for the release of Nazanin
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Zaghari-Ratcliffe by remarks he later apologised for. On his way to
0:02:30 > 0:02:36Iran to see Iran's Foreign Minister, he issued a statement, saying:
0:02:43 > 0:02:48The Foreign Secretary says he will also emphasise the UK's continued

0:02:59 > 0:03:03some of Iran was Mac activities, notably in Syria and Yemen. He
0:03:03 > 0:03:07described the relationship with Iran is improving, but not
0:03:07 > 0:03:11straightforward. The Foreign Secretary has been careful to lower
0:03:11 > 0:03:15any expectations of imminent release for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, warning
0:03:15 > 0:03:19that such cases are very difficult.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins reporting.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25One of the Cabinet's leading Brexiteers has suggested that voters
0:03:25 > 0:03:29can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal
0:03:29 > 0:03:32with the European Union - and to force a future government
0:03:32 > 0:03:34to change course if they don't like it.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36The environment secretary, Michael Gove, made the comments
0:03:36 > 0:03:39in an article in The Daily Telegraph, just a day
0:03:39 > 0:03:41after Theresa May's agreement in Brussels cleared the way
0:03:41 > 0:03:42for trade talks.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Here's our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52-- we will get more on that later in the programme.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55The wintry weather looks set to continue with Met Office warnings
0:03:55 > 0:03:57in place for large parts of the UK.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59More snow is expected in northern and eastern regions
0:03:59 > 0:04:00over the weekend.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02The freezing conditions caused significant disruption to commuters
0:04:02 > 0:04:05yesterday and hundreds of properties in the West Midlands

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Some of these reindeer are getting their first taste of snow in Dudley.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21And in the early hours, more snowfalls have been reported across
0:04:21 > 0:04:27the UK, although conditions are expect to ease for today. At

0:04:35 > 0:04:39some are about to leave behind. Shrubs is somewhere in this picture.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43On the Isle of Man, the weekend began early, as all schools were
0:04:43 > 0:04:51closed. Elsewhere, there have been problems on the roads. The extremes
0:04:51 > 0:04:56of the weather are expected to eventually be confined to north-east
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Scotland, but tomorrow, a spell of heavy snow is likely over the
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Midlands and parts of Wales and northern England.20 centimetres is
0:05:02 > 0:05:08quite significant. We will press ahead of that, we will salt ahead of
0:05:08 > 0:05:12that, but past 20 centimetres we might have to reduce the network and
0:05:12 > 0:05:16keep key routes open. That is much as you can do. 20 centimetres is
0:05:16 > 0:05:19significant.The Met Office is warning that some in the countryside
0:05:19 > 0:05:22may be cut off if the skies were not convincing enough.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35positions in the Gaza Strip, in retaliation for Palestinian
0:05:35 > 0:05:36rocket attacks on southern Israel.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Palestinians and Israeli security forces have clashed in the West Bank
0:05:39 > 0:05:41since President Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's
0:05:41 > 0:05:42capital on Wednesday.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yesterday, the US ambassador Nikki Haley defended Donald Trump's
0:05:44 > 0:05:56comments and accused the UN of bias against Israel.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02Over many years, the United Nations has outrageously been at the world's
0:06:02 > 0:06:06foremost centres of hostility towards Israel. The United Nations
0:06:06 > 0:06:10has done much more damage to the prospects for Middle East peace,
0:06:10 > 0:06:16then to advance them.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Thousands of firefighters in southern California
0:06:18 > 0:06:21are continuing to battle a series of wildfires which have destroyed
0:06:21 > 0:06:22hundreds of homes.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24More than 200,000 people have already fled the area

0:06:25 > 0:06:27on the Pacific coast, including the city of Santa Barbara

0:06:32 > 0:06:34In the mountains north of Los Angeles, wildfires
0:06:34 > 0:06:36are roaring through the forests of Ventura County.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Dry winds are fanning the flames, causing them to spread rapidly,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41and cutting across highways.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43These guys are scrambling.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And the thick plumes of smoke billow for miles.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Across southern California, tens of thousands of people
0:06:48 > 0:06:51have already fled.
0:06:51 > 0:06:58And this is the destruction they are escaping from.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I always equate these to my family friends as disaster war zones
0:07:02 > 0:07:06is what you see, with the homes that are lost, and the tragedy that hits
0:07:06 > 0:07:08all of these families that live in these areas.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Currently the fire is about 130,000 acres, 425 homes have been confirmed
0:07:12 > 0:07:16to be lost.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Some people now returning home see what, if anything, they can salvage
0:07:21 > 0:07:24from the charred wreckage.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26It's unbelievable, it's devastating, it is horrific.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27There is nothing left.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Not a darn thing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33The first fires broke out on Monday, reaching the exclusive neighbourhood
0:07:33 > 0:07:36of Bel Air, in Los Angeles, and threatening the neighbourhoods
0:07:36 > 0:07:43of Hollywood stars.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46At night, it looks like a volcano erupting, and from Santa Barbara
0:07:46 > 0:07:48to LA and San Diego, more than 8,000 firefighters
0:07:48 > 0:07:58are trying to contain these fires, the worst in living memory here.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Strong winds are forecast through the weekend,
0:08:00 > 0:08:10making for extremely dangerous conditions.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14An urgent review into the availability of free to use ATMs is
0:08:14 > 0:08:18needed to make sure customers do not struggle to access cash. This is
0:08:18 > 0:08:25according to the consumer watchdog Which. The UK's largest ATM network,
0:08:25 > 0:08:31Link, wants to cut the fees charged to ATM users. There are concerns the
0:08:31 > 0:08:35overall -- the overhaul of the network could reduce the number of
0:08:35 > 0:08:38ATMs available to customers.It could potentially reduce the number
0:08:38 > 0:08:43of ATMs in the UK or increase the number of pay for ATMs in the UK. We
0:08:43 > 0:08:47want to ensure that consumers have access to money in the way they want
0:08:47 > 0:08:50to, particularly in the face of closing bank branches, where people
0:08:50 > 0:08:54find it more and more difficult to get hold of a bank and get their
0:08:54 > 0:08:59money the way they want to.It is 6:08am. Let's get more on
0:08:59 > 0:09:03yesterday's Brexit deal, which has paid the way for trade talks to
0:09:03 > 0:09:07begin between the EU and the UK. This morning, one of the Cabinet's
0:09:07 > 0:09:13leading Brexiteers, Michael Gove, had his say. He praised the deal,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17but in an article in the Daily Telegraph, suggested voters could
0:09:17 > 0:09:20use the next general election if they wanted to reject any final
0:09:20 > 0:09:22agreement.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Michael Gove welcomed the deal with the EU, and yesterday he publicly
0:09:27 > 0:09:31praised the Prime Minister for her work. But I think in a sign of the
0:09:31 > 0:09:34challenges to come for Theresa May, the environment Secretary, who is of
0:09:34 > 0:09:39course one of the leading Leave campaigners in the Cabinet, has
0:09:39 > 0:09:42suggested that if the British people dislike the arrangement negotiated
0:09:42 > 0:09:47with Brussels, well, a future government could choose to go in a
0:09:47 > 0:09:50different direction. Michael Gove wrote in the Daily Telegraph and
0:09:50 > 0:09:56said that after a two year transition, outside the EU, the
0:09:56 > 0:10:00British people will be in control and will have full freedom to
0:10:00 > 0:10:04diverged from European law on the single market and Customs union.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Having made sufficient progress on the terms of the UK's departure from
0:10:08 > 0:10:12the EU, the Brexit talks can now move on to the future relationship
0:10:12 > 0:10:17with the EU. But the Cabinet has yet to agree on what that final deal
0:10:17 > 0:10:22will look like. I think Theresa May knows that's the toughest decisions
0:10:22 > 0:10:27in these negotiations are yet to come, and about the talks have a
0:10:27 > 0:10:32long way to go. Well, Eleanor was certainly right about that. We will
0:10:32 > 0:10:37be talking about it sometimes come. Not surprisingly, on the front pages
0:10:37 > 0:10:43today, Brexit is being touted. "Made's try of wanted by Task
0:10:43 > 0:10:48warning on top choices ahead". Of course everybody is pleased that the
0:10:48 > 0:10:52first phase of Brexit negotiations seem to have been passed through. We
0:10:52 > 0:10:55have the handshake here between Theresa May and Jean-Claude Juncker.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00But there is a lot more trade talk to come. And tough talk to come, as
0:11:00 > 0:11:05the negotiations continue.Yes, the newspapers are very clear in their
0:11:05 > 0:11:08stance in relation to what happened yesterday. The Daily Mirror, free
0:11:08 > 0:11:12example, with the headline Mrs Softee. Theresa May's deal with the
0:11:12 > 0:11:17EU will mean soft Brexit. Britain will pay for the divorce bill. The
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Prime Minister has abandoned her red line to break the deadlock. That is
0:11:21 > 0:11:26contrasting with the Daily Mail. Indeed. Rejoice, we are on our way.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32This historic handshake on the front page of the FT. The Daily Mail says
0:11:32 > 0:11:36it has sealed a vital step in the UK's exit from the EU.And on the
0:11:36 > 0:11:44front page of the times, made bounces back. Rejuvenated, suggests
0:11:44 > 0:11:47the Times newspaper, as we move onto the next set of talks, which
0:11:47 > 0:11:52everybody says will be the hard ones.John Koorda Jon Kay yesterday
0:11:52 > 0:11:56praised Theresa May for being so affable and easy to negotiate with.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01-- Jean-Claude Juncker. It sounds as though there was no snapping, no
0:12:01 > 0:12:07biting.I see what you've done.Here we go. Only because of this picture,
0:12:07 > 0:12:12which I like. This is a saltwater crocodile, a 20 foot saltwater
0:12:12 > 0:12:18crocodile. It has a name. His name is Dominator. And for being one of
0:12:18 > 0:12:21the most aggressive crocodiles in the region in Australia's Northern
0:12:21 > 0:12:29Territory. This has been snapped by a tourist on a neighbouring boat.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33What you can see, if you look closely at some of the reactions,
0:12:33 > 0:12:39people are shocked.Wisely keeping their arms inside the boat.Indeed.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44If you go out on a wildlife safari, that is what you want to see.That
0:12:44 > 0:12:48is for sure. Lots of interest in the weather through this weekend. We've
0:12:48 > 0:12:52been talking about snow, there was some yesterday. More forecast for
0:12:52 > 0:12:53later today, is that right?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54some yesterday. More forecast for later today, is that right?
0:12:56 > 0:13:01That's right, in the form of snow showers, affecting areas like we saw
0:13:01 > 0:13:04yesterday, mainly northern and western coastal areas. Most of us
0:13:04 > 0:13:08started this morning very cold and frosty but with lots of sunshine.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The snow showers are continuing across parts of northern and western
0:13:11 > 0:13:15areas, giving quite a bit of snow and places. They will be fairly
0:13:15 > 0:13:19isolated. Watch out, there are still low lying snow around and there will
0:13:19 > 0:13:23be a problem with ice where we had snow showers yesterday. This is
0:13:23 > 0:13:28where the snow showers are falling. Northern Scotland, parts of Northern
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Ireland, through Cheshire, Merseyside, northern and western
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Wales. This is where they will be through the day. Not as widespread
0:13:34 > 0:13:37and ready. We should see a few pushing further north in towards
0:13:37 > 0:13:41leisure and the Manchester area. That said, it will be a gorgeous day
0:13:41 > 0:13:45if you love the sunshine. Wrap up and head out and enjoy the sunshine.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Things get interesting this evening and overnight. Temperatures falling
0:13:50 > 0:13:54away very quickly. Then we see this band of heavy rain moving up from
0:13:54 > 0:13:57the south-west. That will turn very quickly to snow as it romps into
0:13:57 > 0:14:01that cold out. The main threat will be around the Midlands and parts of
0:14:01 > 0:14:06northern Wales in southern northern England. Ten centimetres in places,
0:14:06 > 0:14:11maybe even 20. The Met Office have issued an amber warnings of this,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16which means to be prepared. There will be some disruption as we head
0:14:16 > 0:14:21into early hours on Sunday. That's no longer further north and south to
0:14:21 > 0:14:25peter out and turn back into rain as the mild array starts to pushing
0:14:25 > 0:14:29from the south-west. Eight or nine degrees here and much colder further
0:14:29 > 0:14:34north. Plenty of sunshine here. That is our Sunday is looking, as we head
0:14:34 > 0:14:39into Monday. We are now looking to the south of the country. This deep
0:14:39 > 0:14:45area of low pressure, this storm expected to impact France. It could
0:14:45 > 0:14:49also impact southern parts of the UK. Sunday afternoon, we are looking
0:14:49 > 0:14:53at strong, maybe severe gale force winds across the south. It could
0:14:53 > 0:14:57again be windy and a very wet across the south and south-east. Further
0:14:57 > 0:15:00snow is potentially possible over the high ground. Tuesday, much
0:15:00 > 0:15:05quieter. Those areas of low pressure moving away, and we end up with dry
0:15:05 > 0:15:08around brighter weather with sunshine. It stays cold through the
0:15:08 > 0:15:14week and is set to stay cold in the run-up to Christmas. There is no
0:15:14 > 0:15:19mild weather on the cards yet.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25Thank you very much, and a lovely picture to finish with.It is the
0:15:25 > 0:15:30most expensive television show ever made, costing an estimated £100
0:15:30 > 0:15:35million and after scooping the Golden Globe for best TV series, The
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Crown returned yesterday for its second series on Netflix. The
0:15:38 > 0:15:42company, along with companies like Amazon and Apple are ploughing
0:15:42 > 0:15:46millions into original programming, changing the way we watch
0:15:46 > 0:15:48television. Our media editor has more.
0:15:48 > 0:15:5270 years ago, the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip
0:15:52 > 0:15:54was broadcast on a single channel in black-and-white.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55The world has changed.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Today, their marriage and times has been dramatised
0:15:57 > 0:15:59in a multimillion-pound, high-tech production,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03consumed on a range of devices.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yet this very British story was made by Netflix,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08not the BBC.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The company now boasts over 100 million subscribers,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15and was irresistible to the British executive behind The Crown.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Well, you know, you can get to see tech companies very,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22very easily, and they make decisions very speedily,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and they seem to have lots of money.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27So all of these are very attractive qualities when you're trying to sell
0:16:27 > 0:16:28a TV show.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Netflix have said they will spend up to £6 billion
0:16:31 > 0:16:32on programmes next year.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That is around double the BBC's entire budget.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Meanwhile, according to analysts at JP Morgan,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Amazon will spend £3.5 billion on video content next year,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41with mega-productions such as their version of Top Gear top
0:16:41 > 0:16:42of the list.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And now Apple, the world's richest company, is now also moving
0:16:45 > 0:16:48into original programming.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51It will probably spend at least £750 million next year on content,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55small fry for a company whose value is approaching $1 trillion.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Companies like Netflix and Amazon are part of a worldwide transition
0:16:58 > 0:17:04from scheduled TV to online and on-demand broadcasting.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07These tech firms have discovered that consumers will pay for content
0:17:07 > 0:17:10online, provided it is of sufficiently high quality.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13And that is why they are now shamelessly pursuing not just young
0:17:13 > 0:17:15and digitally savvy audiences, but also older viewers,
0:17:15 > 0:17:20whose loyalty traditionally lies elsewhere.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24And yet that loyalty to traditional broadcasters endures.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27For the likes of Channel 4 and the BBC, superstar shows
0:17:27 > 0:17:30like Great British Bake Off and Blue Planet are still watched
0:17:30 > 0:17:35by up to 10 million people, and generate national conversation.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38The streaming services of Netflix and Amazon are certainly making
0:17:38 > 0:17:40a very powerful mark, and that's great for consumers.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44My worry is that we can see over the next decade the amount of money
0:17:44 > 0:17:47going into content made in Britain, for British audiences,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51dramas that reflect British lives, comedies that reflect the UK,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54documentaries, and so on, is going to go down.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00And I think that we would be the poorer for that.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03As the next chair of Bafta argues, older broadcasters will have to form
0:18:03 > 0:18:06alliances with new ones if they are to thrive.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The danger will come if the streaming services no longer
0:18:08 > 0:18:11need that money from the BBC or ITV or Channel 4,
0:18:11 > 0:18:19because they want to fully fund something, and take world rights.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22The internet has simultaneously undermined the business model
0:18:22 > 0:18:24of broadcasters reliant on advertising, while giving paying
0:18:24 > 0:18:27customers unprecedented quality and choice.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Luckily for viewers, this is a revolution that
0:18:29 > 0:18:30will be televised.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Amol Rajan, BBC News.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We will have a summary of the news in a moment.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39But first it's time for The Film Review,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41with Mark Kermode and Jane Hill.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Welcome to the Film Review on BBC News.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03What have you been watching, Mark?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06We have Stronger, which is a film about the Boston bombing survivor
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Jeff Bowman.
0:19:08 > 0:19:15Human Flow, a very affecting documentary by Ai Weiwei.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19And The Dinner.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Steve Coogan and Richard Gere together at last.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24We can discuss that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Stronger, I mean, people will remember so vividly
0:19:26 > 0:19:29the Boston Marathon bombing and this is very much about the aftermath.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33So Jake Gyllenhaal as a Jeff Bowman, who was a young Bostonian
0:19:33 > 0:19:36who was there at the finishing line and was involved in the blast
0:19:36 > 0:19:38and lost both his legs.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41And having survived the bombing then had to rebuild his life both
0:19:41 > 0:19:42physically and indeed, mentally.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And deal with the fact he'd suddenly become right at the centre
0:19:45 > 0:19:48of the spotlight, which saw him in many ways as the embodiment
0:19:48 > 0:19:52of the Boston Strong mantra.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Here's a clip.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06When you're ready, scooch ahead before you stand up.
0:20:13 > 0:20:13Yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16OK.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19OK, scooch ahead.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Up, hips back.
0:20:22 > 0:20:22Chest up.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Chest up.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Chest up, Chest up.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Good, good, OK?
0:20:31 > 0:20:37Good.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It's a little sore.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It's like needles on my legs.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48You look awesome.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49It looks amazing.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Keep going.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I can't, I can't.
0:20:54 > 0:21:03Good job, good job.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Now the story's extraordinary, not least because when he wakes up
0:21:06 > 0:21:08in hospital the first thing he does is say,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I saw the bombers.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11He wants to pass on that information.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15But what the film is really, really interested in is the way
0:21:15 > 0:21:17in which his struggle to recover works.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19And also his relationship with his originally on-
0:21:19 > 0:21:21off girlfriend and his mother and his family.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23You saw Miranda Richardson as his mother, who is
0:21:23 > 0:21:24really, really terrific.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28And I think what central to it is the film doesn't play him
0:21:28 > 0:21:31as a hero, it plays him as somebody who is in a position,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34you know, which they had nothing to do with.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And suddenly find themselves in the centre of this great personal
0:21:37 > 0:21:39struggle and suddenly find themselves the centre
0:21:39 > 0:21:40of all this media attention.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43And if you know, on the one hand doing this very,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47very heroic thing, but on the other hand finding it very hard to cope
0:21:47 > 0:21:48with that attention.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52What I like about the film is that it doesn't try and paint
0:21:52 > 0:21:53two dimensional pictures.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55He has fractious relationships with his family, with his
0:21:55 > 0:21:57girlfriend, he goes through different phases.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I think what happens with the movie is it involves you in the story
0:22:00 > 0:22:03in a way that you genuinely believe that what you're seeing
0:22:03 > 0:22:04is a realistic portrayal.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10It's not exploitative, it's melodramatic.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I think it's based on a book he wrote.
0:22:13 > 0:22:13Absolutely.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14The details are true.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17We've seen enough Hollywood movies which are doing triumph over
0:22:17 > 0:22:21adversity, that do so in a way that is kind of saccharine and very
0:22:21 > 0:22:23sentimental and relies very heavily on sentimentality and melodrama.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I found this very moving.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28There are moments that make you cry, moments that make you laugh.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31The most important thing was it seemed honest it seemed truthful.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35It was done in a way that is low-key enough to never feel
0:22:35 > 0:22:38like what it was doing was exploiting the situation at all.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39I was surprisingly moved by it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42It doesn't change the format of film, it doesn't do anything
0:22:42 > 0:22:47major to the structure, the kind of story we've seen before.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50But it plays it well and played it in a heartfelt way.
0:22:50 > 0:22:57It feels like an honest endeavour that was moving and affecting.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01The Ai Weiwei film, your second choice.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Human Flow.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Sadly I haven't seen it yet.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I can only assume that it is unbelievably, unbearably moving.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09It is very moving.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Ai Weiwei is a conceptual artist, this is about the current refugee
0:23:13 > 0:23:15crisis and the humanitarian disaster unfolding around the world.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17It's a portrait of global displacement, different people
0:23:17 > 0:23:20forced to move from their homes for horrific reasons.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Shot in 25 countries.
0:23:21 > 0:23:2320 countries, 25 film crews.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Some of the footage is hand-held.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Some of it, these extraordinary aerial shots, drone shots,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34of huge numbers of people moving through incredibly hostile
0:23:34 > 0:23:39terrain, refugee camps.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41We do get interviews, we do get discussions,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45but the most affecting stuff is this sort of image of humanity
0:23:45 > 0:23:47on the move, and the persistence of barriers and borders
0:23:47 > 0:23:50and boundaries and people rather than receiving welcome
0:23:50 > 0:23:54facing a wall.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59It is a film that has a cumulative impact over the course of the movie
0:23:59 > 0:24:01you do become overwhelmed by the scope of this.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04But I think, again, it's a very interesting piece of film-making
0:24:04 > 0:24:08because it is using film to tell the story in a way which is,
0:24:08 > 0:24:09you know, specifically visual.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We do get discussions of these terrifying subjects
0:24:11 > 0:24:12as the film plays out.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The stuff that works less well is when we see Ai Weiwei talking
0:24:16 > 0:24:19to some of the refugees, that the stuff that actually,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22we enough, has less impact than when you see the scope
0:24:22 > 0:24:24of what the film is depicting, it's called Human Flow.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27OK.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29The Dinner.
0:24:29 > 0:24:29Yes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33What did you think?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Well...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Hmm.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37OK.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's the latest from Oren Moverman, and it's adapted from a novel.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It is the story of the hidden violence of the bourgeoisie.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46It's also one of those things that asks the question,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48what would you do to protect a loved one?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50In upstate New York two chalk and cheese brothers,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53played by Steve Coogan and Richard Gere, you couldn't get
0:24:53 > 0:24:54more chalk and cheese.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57And their respective partners, Rebecca Hall and Laura Linney.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58They meet in an upmarket restaurant.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Coogan's character is tetchy and awkward and difficult.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Richard Gere is a smooth politician.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05But there is a terrible family secret they have to discuss.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Here is a clip.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08This is long overdue.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09What were you talking about?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12We were just enjoying one of those awkward pauses,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16as they say.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Not talking about anything.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Not talking about anything.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Well we're going to talk tonight.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Put it all on the table.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29There's a lot going on.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Are you OK?
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Don't.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Perhaps there's a better table.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It's really, it's all right, we're fine here.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Actually, actually, the other room I think is better.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47As private as a fish tank.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50There's something wrong, let me check, just a second.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51I actually agree.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52I'm not moving.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55What's interesting about this is this discussion they're not
0:25:55 > 0:25:57having, that they move towards having, plays out over
0:25:57 > 0:25:59the courses of this ridiculously elaborate dinner.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Each course is, you know, described by the maitre d'
0:26:02 > 0:26:03in incredible terms.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05At the centre of the discussion is this hidden secret
0:26:05 > 0:26:08about something which has happened with their children.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10And I think the film has got really good performances.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Great cast, really good ensemble cast.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Oren Moverman got a very good performance out of Richard Gere
0:26:17 > 0:26:19previously in a film in which Richard Gere is playing
0:26:19 > 0:26:24a homeless man.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Actually, Ai Weiwei got a really good performance out of him.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31The problem with the film to some extent is it probably two courses
0:26:31 > 0:26:34too long, it's two hours and it should be 89 minutes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36When we at the table, when that kind of...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39The unspoken arguments are sort of broiling and seething away
0:26:39 > 0:26:40I think it works rather well.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It then has this kind of flashback structure in which it moves back
0:26:44 > 0:26:47to events in the past and we see things unfolding
0:26:47 > 0:26:48from lots of different perspectives.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50To me, that works slightly less well.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'm some people have really taken against the movie.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55One of the reasons is, they're pretty claustrophobic company.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58They're not people you want to spend that much time
0:26:58 > 0:27:01in their company because...
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Steve Coogan's character is so difficult, so awkward.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Richard Gere's character seems to be so smooth and so smarmy.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Yet during the course of the drama it does play with our expectations
0:27:11 > 0:27:12of how each character's motivations will fall.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16It's flawed, no question about it, and it is at least two courses too
0:27:16 > 0:27:19long, but in the middle of it there is a main course
0:27:19 > 0:27:21which is well worth trying.
0:27:21 > 0:27:29I think I absolutely killed the food metaphor stone dead now.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33We've done it but we knew what you meant by it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Let's not do it again.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I'm so delighted you have chosen this, because it encouraged me
0:27:37 > 0:27:40to see it again, a film I haven't seen probably
0:27:40 > 0:27:41since I was at university.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47A Matter of Life and Death.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48An absolute delight.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49One of the greatest movies ever made.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It made immediately in the aftermath of the war, the Ministry
0:27:52 > 0:27:55of information said to Powell and Pressburger, could you please
0:27:55 > 0:27:58make a film that would encourage the Brits and the Americans
0:27:58 > 0:27:59to like each other more.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03And they came up with A Matter of Life and Death, which ends up
0:28:03 > 0:28:06being a story about this world and the next.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It's just been rereleased in a 4K print.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14It's so moving.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17It starts with David Niven as a doomed airman, you know,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20falling in love with somebody just on a radio.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Then he evades death because the emissary from the other
0:28:22 > 0:28:26world coming to get him gets lost in the fog of the channel.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30It's a film that plays out you can either read it as a psychological
0:28:30 > 0:28:34drama or read it as another wordly drama, or you can just read it
0:28:34 > 0:28:35as a comedian, some slightly metaphysical romance.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It's funny and smart and looks brilliant.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Extraordinary cinematography.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40How many times have you seen it?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I think this was only my second.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45But you, you know, effectively forced me to watch it again this
0:28:45 > 0:28:48week and I just thought, some of the script is wonderful.
0:28:48 > 0:28:48It's just...
0:28:48 > 0:28:52It is, I hate to say this, the kind of film they just don't
0:28:52 > 0:28:53make any more.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Yet it's incredibly future looking.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57It does that brilliant thing of converting the Wizard of Oz,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00everything down on earth is in Technicolor, everything
0:29:00 > 0:29:02in the other world is in black and white, which inverts
0:29:02 > 0:29:04what you would actually expect.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06It's one of the greatest movies ever made.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08If not, arguably, the greatest movie ever made.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09And it's out again.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10From 1946. Fantastic.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Very quick thought about DVD. Atomic Blonde.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I mean basically this is a sort of, you know, and adaptation
0:29:15 > 0:29:17of the graphic novel Coldest City.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's a tale of spies and neon.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Charlize Theron is having an absolute ball in it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's very stylish
0:29:24 > 0:29:25and it's very entertaining.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28It could be, I think there is a place for,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30you know, the stylish, stylishly empty film,
0:29:30 > 0:29:31and this is it.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I enjoyed it very much, though it's probably
0:29:33 > 0:29:34a guilty pleasure.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I love that, stylishly empty. Marvellous.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37What a way to end.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Thank you very much, Mark, see you again next week.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Plenty to discuss this week, as we've just proved.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Enjoy your cinema viewing this week.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45See you next time. Bye bye.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Munchetty.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is due to arrive
0:30:23 > 0:30:26in Iran in the next few hours, where he's expected to press
0:30:26 > 0:30:28for the release of the British-Iranian woman,

0:34:09 > 0:34:15Those are the main stories. We must remind you, Mike, I know that you

0:34:19 > 0:34:24is the Fifa World Cup.Well, it is only six months away. It is keeping
0:34:24 > 0:34:28me awake at night.Why don't we talk about it now? You are dreaming about
0:34:28 > 0:34:32it, managers and players are dreaming about how their teens might
0:34:32 > 0:34:35do, but they are not the only ones? Everybody remembers the success of
0:34:35 > 0:34:42this fellow.Paul.Yes, this German octopus became famous for his
0:34:42 > 0:34:49convictions in the 2010 tournament. So who will be the next Paul?There
0:34:49 > 0:34:55have been some rubbish attempts. There was an elephant, there was my
0:34:55 > 0:35:04dog Basil. A cat, he wasn't interested. They do not all have
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Paul's ability. Lots of people in the next few months around world
0:35:08 > 0:35:11will be trying to find the next Paul.Do we know what happened to
0:35:11 > 0:35:18Paul?Well, he got old, and what happens when you get old?No!And
0:35:18 > 0:35:23octopus is such an excellent choice, though.Eight legs. Tentacles, not
0:35:23 > 0:35:29legs. And they are very intelligent. Very.I wonder if Paul come wherever
0:35:29 > 0:35:33he is, would have a clue about the Manchester derby tomorrow. They are
0:35:33 > 0:35:37saying that one seventh of the world's deletion will be keeping a
0:35:37 > 0:35:41nigh on Manchester, because they are the top two teams. -- world's top
0:35:41 > 0:35:47elation.One seventh!Yeah, incredible, isn't it?The whole
0:35:47 > 0:35:54world?Yeah. And we also have the Merseyside derby tomorrow. But let's
0:35:54 > 0:35:57focus on today first.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59So all eyes on Manchester and Merseyside tomorrow,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01but this lunchtime, it's East against West London,
0:36:01 > 0:36:02as West Ham host Chelsea.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06The Hammers are in the bottom three and looking for a first win under
0:36:06 > 0:36:07new manager David Moyes.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10But despite their position, the Scot thinks, he is starting
0:36:10 > 0:36:12to make his mark, on his new squad.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16I don't want to get too carried away but the players have been very good.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19They have tried to take on board everything. They are doing their
0:36:19 > 0:36:24work. As I said from the start, they will have to do the work if they
0:36:24 > 0:36:27want to play. Hopefully they are all doing that.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30There was late drama in the Championship last night.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Aden Flint, scoring this last minute winner for Bristol City
0:36:32 > 0:36:33against Sheffield United.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36The 2-1 win sees the Robins, leapfrog their opponents,
0:36:36 > 0:36:44to go third in the table.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49They could have lost their manager to Rangers this week that Aberdeen
0:36:49 > 0:36:52repaid McGuinness for staying in charge of a 1-0 win at Dundee. This
0:36:52 > 0:36:57goal at the break was enough to seal the three points which means
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Aberdeen into second place in the Scottish Premiership, three points
0:37:00 > 0:37:04above Rangers, before they play tomorrow. The Premier League could
0:37:04 > 0:37:08be taking on strictly come dancing and The X Factor in a right royal
0:37:08 > 0:37:11battle for viewers on a Saturday evening. Eight games will be played

0:37:21 > 0:37:25season, more than half of all matches. Next, a big blow for Wales'
0:37:25 > 0:37:30Six Nations campaign. Captain Sam Orbison has been ruled out of whole
0:37:30 > 0:37:34tournament. The 29 York has had knee surgery on an existing injury and

0:37:40 > 0:37:43European Champions Cup after a home defeat to Montpelier. The French
0:37:43 > 0:37:54side opened the scoring with the try of the match from Kelian Galletier,
0:37:54 > 0:37:59and Glasgow Diddley 17- five, at one stage, but ended up losing 29- 22.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03The Rocket will play Simon Bligh in the semifinals, while Shaun Murphy
0:38:03 > 0:38:06will play Ryan Day in the other semi. Whatever happens, Sullivan's
0:38:06 > 0:38:13match, he feels he cannot lose.It was win- win because I thought, if
0:38:13 > 0:38:18they get beaten, at least I get home to dinner. And if I win I have
0:38:18 > 0:38:22another day here. I have to have a win- win in some way. At this stage
0:38:22 > 0:38:28of the game...There are quite a few places around here that will do
0:38:28 > 0:38:32dinner for you.Yes, but I would like to see my Mrs. I gave up a
0:38:32 > 0:38:36while ago, I like to do my own thing. Whatever happens in the game
0:38:36 > 0:38:40is great, I pick and choose what I want to do. I think my happiness
0:38:40 > 0:38:42comes in doing other things away from snooker.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46That kind of helps. When the pressure is off, you don't really
0:38:46 > 0:38:50care.A refreshing attitude.What a position, to pick and choose what
0:38:50 > 0:38:54you want to do. I'm pleased with him.Yes, I like his outlook on
0:38:54 > 0:38:59life. Down under next, a chance for some of the players on the fringes
0:38:59 > 0:39:03of the England Ashes squad to make a case for starting in the third test
0:39:03 > 0:39:06in Perth next week with England 2-0 down. Open a Keaton Jennings did
0:39:06 > 0:39:13that by scoring 80 against a cricketer Australian 11. Batting

0:39:18 > 0:39:22contention for victory going into the final round of the Dubai ladies
0:39:22 > 0:39:26classic. She shot a five under par 67 in her third round yesterday to
0:39:26 > 0:39:31finish on nine under par, just three shots behind leader and Van Dam of
0:39:31 > 0:39:36the Netherlands. Now, it is snowing here in some parts. It is also
0:39:36 > 0:39:40slowing, surprisingly, in Germany, where Lizzie Arnold, in eight weeks

0:40:09 > 0:40:14feature. I didn't go bob is leading. You did?I still have a sore throat.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20From screening?No, I thought I was being strangled by the GeForce. You
0:40:20 > 0:40:24are so low down, it is like somebody is pushing your throat. Into your
0:40:24 > 0:40:28stomach. While hitting you with a hammer at the same time. Because I
0:40:28 > 0:40:33was the break person, at the back. Full respect to those athletes.What
0:40:33 > 0:40:39else? Anything else?Want to see what Bradley Wiggins is doing now?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43We are used to seeing him on two wheels but the former tour to France
0:40:43 > 0:40:47and Olympic gold medal winning cyclist has got off his bike and is
0:40:47 > 0:40:50competing as a role for the first time today. Sir Bradley, who is now
0:40:50 > 0:40:5437, will take part in the 2000 metre race at the British indoor
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Championships. He is being coached by Libby gold-medallist James
0:40:57 > 0:41:08Cracknell.What is he doing?A rowing machines -- machine.You
0:41:08 > 0:41:12still wouldn't bet against him.No, you can't take the athlete out of
0:41:12 > 0:41:17somebody. Jumping fences and riding through fire, this perhaps mean
0:41:17 > 0:41:20somebody's skills are more extreme than the likes of a P McAuley and
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Nick Skelton. Now, the net mounted police are gearing up to show off
0:41:24 > 0:41:29their stuff at the horse of the year show this week. -- the Met. I joined
0:41:29 > 0:41:33them in training to find out how these skills help them prepare for
0:41:33 > 0:41:37being on the beat.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41They are the heavyweights of the equestrian world, with some of the
0:41:41 > 0:41:46bravest writers. Despite the size and the weight of these beasts, it
0:41:46 > 0:41:49is all about the most delicate position and accuracy. As they jump
0:41:49 > 0:41:53through fire and even managed to remove some of their uniform of
0:41:53 > 0:41:57jumping, and the saddle, and syrups. At this isn't just about showcasing
0:41:57 > 0:42:01their skills this week. The mounted police use this training to help
0:42:01 > 0:42:05them prepare for their main job and whatever they might face on the
0:42:05 > 0:42:08streets of London.We are cops on horses, police officers on horses.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12These forces are all operational horses. They patrol the streets of
0:42:12 > 0:42:16London daily. This right we are doing, what you see today, it is all
0:42:16 > 0:42:19about training and developing the officer and developing the horses.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23So that we can take those skills out onto the street.In a public order
0:42:23 > 0:42:28situation, like a riot, they say that one mounted officer can do the
0:42:28 > 0:42:32job of ten on foot. I saw how crucial this training sessions are
0:42:32 > 0:42:37for when things don't go to plan. You have to be quite robust as a
0:42:37 > 0:42:44writer. -- rider. You can have situations, not that many years ago,
0:42:44 > 0:42:48like Tottenham, you have ulcers and buildings burning. A horse reacts
0:42:48 > 0:42:52adversely to that. So this sort of thing is great for their training.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57It is about trust and confidence. The first mounted police were around
0:42:57 > 0:43:02150 years before the first pictures in the 1920s, and over the following
0:43:02 > 0:43:06decades, they became famous for their musical rides.This is a trial
0:43:06 > 0:43:10of decision and grace, where the policeman can show off their
0:43:10 > 0:43:13equestrian skills.Since 2014 there has been an increase in the number
0:43:13 > 0:43:17of mounted police again, following a study by a university which showed
0:43:17 > 0:43:22that the value of the horses was icebreakers, not just in public
0:43:22 > 0:43:27order situations but in community policing as well. You are six times
0:43:27 > 0:43:31more likely to interact and chat to a police officer if they are the
0:43:31 > 0:43:36horse than if they are just on foot. Of course, it is all to do with the
0:43:36 > 0:43:39horse. I think a personable horse helps a bit.You are much more
0:43:39 > 0:43:42approachable on a horse. I found the difference, initially, when I joined
0:43:42 > 0:43:45the mounted branch, I couldn't believe how me people stopped and
0:43:45 > 0:43:50wanted to speak to you.If you go to an estate, you will get a crowd
0:43:50 > 0:43:53around you, just pure P horse. Before they know they are talking to
0:43:53 > 0:44:00a police officer. -- purely to pat the horse.This is where it all
0:44:00 > 0:44:03begins. Lots of the policeman who join the mounted force of not
0:44:03 > 0:44:09renominate horse before they start training. -- not been on a horse. 16
0:44:09 > 0:44:13weeks later, the trust between police officer in horse is so great
0:44:13 > 0:44:17that they will even run through walls together. There is so much I
0:44:17 > 0:44:23can do on a horse. But this gives me a taste of what it is like. Jumping
0:44:23 > 0:44:26the fence is, taking up their jackets, and having the trust to
0:44:26 > 0:44:32power through the final war. -- wall.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37They wouldn't let me do it on a horse but I didn't want to miss out.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40That feeling, when you come up to the wall, I can imagine how the
0:44:40 > 0:44:44horse is feeling, but they go through it.You are an action man.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47The decision not to let you on a horse was clearly evidence base.
0:44:47 > 0:44:54Yes, it was wise. Those sources are very precious.Thank you, Mike.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58Here is Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
0:44:58 > 0:44:59Here is Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
0:44:59 > 0:45:05Good morning, both of you. Hope you are both well. I am keeping warm,
0:45:05 > 0:45:10because it is going to be a cold, wintry weekend. Many places this
0:45:10 > 0:45:15morning and today will see fine and dry weather. A cold, frosty start.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Snow showers widespread and heavy across western areas yesterday,
0:45:19 > 0:45:24areas like the West Midlands and Shropshire, a lot of lying snow so
0:45:24 > 0:45:29watch out for ice in areas which had snow yesterday and continued
0:45:29 > 0:45:32overnight. And they are continuing across parts of Scotland and
0:45:32 > 0:45:37Northern Ireland, parts of northern England, northern and western Wales.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41Elsewhere, lots of dry weather and sunshine across eastern areas. Those
0:45:41 > 0:45:45winds a little bit lighter foremost, snow showers continuing across the
0:45:45 > 0:45:50west. But a fine, lovely day if you like the cold. Wrap up if you are
0:45:50 > 0:45:53heading out. Temperatures falling away quickly overnight, you can see
0:45:53 > 0:45:57the blue hue and we start to see the weather system pushing into the
0:45:57 > 0:46:01south-west. Rain initially and as it bumps into that cold air it will
0:46:01 > 0:46:05turn the heavy snow across the Midlands, parts of Wales, in towards
0:46:05 > 0:46:10the southern parts of northern as well. This is potentially disrupted
0:46:10 > 0:46:16snow. Ten centimetres in places, maybe 15 or 20 in others. Be
0:46:16 > 0:46:21prepared warnings are in force for this. If you have to head out, make
0:46:21 > 0:46:26it an emergency, stay home, because it will be treacherous on the roads
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Sunday morning as the snow continues. Further northwards it
0:46:29 > 0:46:33begins to fizzle out and turn into rank as mild outflows in from the
0:46:33 > 0:46:36south-west along with gales. Windy afternoon for South Wales, southern
0:46:36 > 0:46:41coastal parts of England. Temperatures eight or nine degrees.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45The Scotland and Northern Ireland, apart from a few snow showers, a
0:46:45 > 0:46:50lovely day with plenty of sunshine. As we look into Monday, this area of
0:46:50 > 0:46:54low pressure which will batter parts of France will also impact southern
0:46:54 > 0:46:57parts of Britain. So a fine day for Scotland and Northern Ireland but
0:46:57 > 0:47:01central and southern areas looking at windy and cloudy day. Maybe some
0:47:01 > 0:47:06snow in places and it will slowly ease away during the latter part of
0:47:06 > 0:47:10Monday. Another cold day, especially in the south when you add on the
0:47:10 > 0:47:15winds. As we had on towards Tuesday it is looking quieter. This area of
0:47:15 > 0:47:18low pressure moves away, sunshine across southern areas, and the North
0:47:18 > 0:47:24is set to stay cold, dry with some sunshine through the week.We always
0:47:24 > 0:47:25liked at this
0:47:25 > 0:47:26sunshine through the week.We always liked at this time of year when
0:47:26 > 0:47:30viewers send us their pictures, because you get them from Weather
0:47:30 > 0:47:35Watchers as well.And we will be getting loads of the snow which
0:47:35 > 0:47:39occurred overnight, and I will be showing some. And if you have any
0:47:39 > 0:47:43pictures at home, we would love to see them. Get in touch the usual
0:47:43 > 0:47:44way, Twitter, Facebook or e-mail.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Now, it's time for Click.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Today we are in Manchester, at the Children's Global Media
0:48:09 > 0:48:12Summit, a meeting of those who make the content that our children
0:48:12 > 0:48:14will be watching in the coming years.
0:48:14 > 0:48:19It's an event with some very important speakers.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Parents, like Catherine and me, are raising the first generation
0:48:21 > 0:48:23of digitally immersed children.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26And this gives us many reasons to be optimistic about the impact
0:48:26 > 0:48:31of technology on childhood.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34And before the Duke of Cambridge gave his speech to the audience,
0:48:34 > 0:48:38I managed to grab a quick interview with one of the most talked
0:48:38 > 0:48:42about couples in the country.
0:48:42 > 0:48:47So how are you finding the conference so far?
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Because, to be honest, my kids get more about the staff
0:48:50 > 0:48:53of the Furcherster Hotel than at the powers that be,
0:48:53 > 0:48:58behind the scenes.
0:48:58 > 0:49:03But the discussions taking place here will shape the type of content
0:49:03 > 0:49:06that children will watch in the future and how content
0:49:06 > 0:49:10providers will meet the expectations of the next generation of viewers.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Now, if you want to know what children are up to,
0:49:13 > 0:49:14why not ask them?
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Kids Insight runs anonymous questionnaires for 400 kids every
0:49:16 > 0:49:19week to gather data about the latest trends, hottest new characters,
0:49:19 > 0:49:21and online habits.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Because, of course, it's not all about what kids need -
0:49:24 > 0:49:27there is a big industry that wants to make money,
0:49:27 > 0:49:29here, and target those young minds with messages and merchandise.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34We do find surprising the amount of children that are viewing YouTube
0:49:34 > 0:49:35without any parental guidance or oversight.
0:49:35 > 0:49:39We find it's probably about a third, maybe less than a third of under
0:49:39 > 0:49:41tens, their parents aren't monitoring what they are watching
0:49:41 > 0:49:49on YouTube at all.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52And that's also a theme here: How to protect children from harmful
0:49:52 > 0:49:54content and stop them being exploited by the increasingly
0:49:54 > 0:49:56personal, interactive, and immersive technologies
0:49:56 > 0:50:04that they're using.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07It's a massive concern for many parents, but there are moves to try
0:50:07 > 0:50:09and make children more savvy about online safety,
0:50:09 > 0:50:15as Lara Lewington found out when she went back to school.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18The opportunity for kids to access information and learn has
0:50:18 > 0:50:22never been bigger.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25But with that comes a challenge.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28The threats online are clear to see.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32But an increasing number of children are becoming aware of the dangers
0:50:32 > 0:50:36and how to steer clear.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40Never click on a link in an e-mail unless you are absolutely sure
0:50:40 > 0:50:41who it is from.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44Basically, these are how many attackers are coming in 'cause
0:50:44 > 0:50:49the firewall is off.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51This week an investigation into paedophiles using live
0:50:51 > 0:50:53streaming apps led to nearly 200 arrests, including teachers,
0:50:53 > 0:50:54medics, and law enforcers.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57A batch of leading brands suspended advertising from YouTube
0:50:57 > 0:51:05after suspect comments remained beside videos featuring children.
0:51:05 > 0:51:09This is not long after the site hit the headlines when its algorithms
0:51:09 > 0:51:12were found to be pulling inappropriate content into its kids
0:51:12 > 0:51:21app, which was then viewed by children.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24Of course, the company protests it does all they can,
0:51:24 > 0:51:27age restricting content in the main app as well is aiming to protect
0:51:27 > 0:51:29those using YouTube Kids altogether.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32In light of the most recent issues, it's also adding an extra 10,000
0:51:32 > 0:51:34moderators to act alongside the software, aiming
0:51:34 > 0:51:37to keep kids safe.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40But with such a wealth of information out there,
0:51:40 > 0:51:43who can actually be held accountable for what is published?
0:51:43 > 0:51:46First and foremost, the tech companies themselves need
0:51:46 > 0:51:48to be held accountable.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51And I mean at the CEO level.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53All of these platforms have an enormous responsibility
0:51:53 > 0:51:56to the kids and families in their audience, 'cause they're
0:51:56 > 0:51:58making billions of dollars off of them.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01Second, we also need to see some kind of regulation that Ofcom
0:52:01 > 0:52:04or others could provide that would say this is appropriate or not
0:52:04 > 0:52:09on these platforms.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Because if you think that tech companies will self-regulate,
0:52:11 > 0:52:16then you are kidding yourself.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19But at the same time the benefits of this sort of online access
0:52:19 > 0:52:22can't be ignored.
0:52:22 > 0:52:30Here at this central London school, pupils are taking part in iDEA,
0:52:30 > 0:52:33the digital and enterprise version of The Duke of Edinburgh Award.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Hello, so what are you all up to, here?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37I am doing a safety badge.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39The challenges are open and free to all ages,
0:52:39 > 0:52:41even adults, to provide real life skills.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43And they can be done anywhere, any time.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46The pupils are covering a range of subjects,
0:52:46 > 0:52:48including creating virtual reality, the importance
0:52:48 > 0:52:50of colour in photography...
0:52:50 > 0:52:52It's, in essence, the different types of colours.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55If you want to get an eerie retro feel, you'd reduce
0:52:55 > 0:53:01the hue and saturation.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03..As well as some of the more serious issues
0:53:03 > 0:53:06surrounding safety online.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09What are the main things you feel you have come away from this
0:53:09 > 0:53:13so far having learned?
0:53:13 > 0:53:16For all my devices I used to put the same password.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20So if the hackers knew one of my passwords they would be able
0:53:20 > 0:53:21to get anything.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24So I learned that and I tried to change my passwords
0:53:24 > 0:53:25for everything, even the school website.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28So I am just going to carry on with the badge.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32It is not just about whether or not you have done GCSE computer science,
0:53:32 > 0:53:35it is about can you actually manipulate or apply the knowledge?
0:53:35 > 0:53:38So what we're trying to do it in such a way
0:53:38 > 0:53:41that they have the opportunity of learning at themselves,
0:53:41 > 0:53:44was at the centre making them aware of the dangers and pitfalls
0:53:44 > 0:53:48that we all see on a daily basis.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53Over 100,000 of these bronze awards have been achieved.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55The silver to be released next April.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58And in a world where fake news has dominated the headlines,
0:53:58 > 0:54:03targeting us on what to think or buy, there will be a category
0:54:03 > 0:54:09called critical thinking, focusing on just that.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11It will teach the importance of how to substantiate,
0:54:11 > 0:54:19verify, and trust sources.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21And at the Children's Global Media Summit,
0:54:21 > 0:54:24the BBC also announced a scheme teaching how to avoid fake news.
0:54:24 > 0:54:28But the real news right now is that while there may still be a way to go
0:54:28 > 0:54:32for things to be totally safe online, kids are becoming more aware
0:54:32 > 0:54:37and maybe at some point soon will be the ones educating the grown-ups.
0:54:37 > 0:54:38You see, it is...
0:54:38 > 0:54:40How can you see, it is so small.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Yes, I have finished the badge. Well done.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44How are you feeling? Woohoo!
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Here is a nice little AR app for kids.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48You download and print off your favourite character
0:54:48 > 0:54:54from CBeebies, colour it in however you like,
0:54:54 > 0:55:05and then you pick up your tablets, and look.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07There is the duck.
0:55:07 > 0:55:20You can draw other characters, as well.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23For example, here is my favourite, who has the power and the speed,
0:55:23 > 0:55:24and she zooms away.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Not that I'm a fan or anything.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28And, from some pretty decent visual effects there,
0:55:28 > 0:55:31to some absolutely top-of-the-range visual effects now, in the form
0:55:31 > 0:55:34of one of the biggest films of the year, Paddington 2.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Don't just take my word for it.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38Ask Rotten Tomatoes, where it scored 100%.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41We sat down with the man who is responsible for bringing
0:55:41 > 0:55:44Paddington from Peru to the big screen, for a world-exclusive look
0:55:44 > 0:55:45at how he did it.
0:55:45 > 0:55:46Parents, spoiler alert.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48We're about to take Paddington apart.
0:55:48 > 0:55:57What's this?
0:55:57 > 0:55:58This is London.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00One of the key areas that we began with is
0:56:00 > 0:56:01previs, or pre-visualisation.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04It's working in an extremely low-fi fashion, to be able to practically
0:56:04 > 0:56:07explore camera angles, moves, using - working with animators
0:56:07 > 0:56:13who have a familiarity with Paddington himself.
0:56:13 > 0:56:20Filming without Paddington, it makes the process extremely
0:56:20 > 0:56:21abstract, that's for sure.
0:56:21 > 0:56:33And so we employ a variety of techniques.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36xuFor the best part, there is a stand-in called Lauren,
0:56:36 > 0:56:37who is about Paddington's height.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39And she'll give us, everyone on the set,
0:56:39 > 0:56:41a brilliant insight into Paddington's presence.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44You don't want to make the work in post very difficult or expensive,
0:56:44 > 0:56:47by having to paint lots out, so you try and minimise
0:56:47 > 0:56:50what is in the place of Paddington on the shot.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53I think the things that are most difficult are where Paddington
0:56:53 > 0:56:56is interacting with objects or people in the plate.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59So you always need somebody to do that, to create either the -
0:56:59 > 0:57:02you know, touch the cloth that's going to be touched.
0:57:02 > 0:57:10There's statistic that, if you put all the man hours
0:57:10 > 0:57:13together, it would be 75 years of someone's life to do
0:57:13 > 0:57:15all the visual effects on Paddington.
0:57:15 > 0:57:23So that sort of gives you a bit of perspective on how much
0:57:23 > 0:57:25work is involved.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28Fundamental was that he lives in - that you would believe him.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31He had to be hyperrealistic, he had to live in a real space.
0:57:31 > 0:57:37But you know, we're always very careful to not reveal too much
0:57:37 > 0:57:40whites of the eyes, to have eyes that sort of look too cartoony,
0:57:40 > 0:57:42to contain all the gestures.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45Often an animator will first pick up Paddington, and they'll go for very
0:57:45 > 0:57:47obvious statements, and Paddington is not about that.
0:57:47 > 0:57:52You take it all away.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54It's all in what's absolutely necessary.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57And it's a sort of small shift of the brow here,
0:57:57 > 0:58:00and a dart there, that tells you he's thinking.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03Simple little scenes like the one where he travels through the prison,
0:58:03 > 0:58:12it's transforming, and you're seeing his effect on the place,
0:58:12 > 0:58:15and everyone is making cakes, that was a massively complicated
0:58:15 > 0:58:17sequence, because of the very artisan sort of way
0:58:17 > 0:58:19in which we wanted to make this prison transform,
0:58:19 > 0:58:22and that sort of Michel Gondry-like musical appearance to
0:58:22 > 0:58:24all the things.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26But no, there's a lot of augmentation, always,
0:58:26 > 0:58:30through the film.
0:58:30 > 0:58:34I think probably almost every shot you could point to something and go,
0:58:34 > 0:58:36OK, well, that photograph has been inserted in that frame,
0:58:36 > 0:58:39and that sky has been changed there, or that bridge didn't
0:58:39 > 0:58:49exist, you know.
0:58:49 > 0:58:52And there's a lot of that stuff, all very understated.
0:58:52 > 0:58:54HOWLING.
0:58:54 > 0:58:59Ow.
0:58:59 > 0:59:01Thank you, Mr Brown.
0:59:01 > 0:59:04And that's it from the short cut of Click from the Children's Global
0:59:04 > 0:59:05Media Summit.
0:59:05 > 0:59:07Did you enjoy it, DM?
0:59:07 > 0:59:07Yes, me too.
0:59:07 > 0:59:11And there's more on the full length version, which you can see
0:59:11 > 0:59:11on iPlayer, now.
0:59:11 > 0:59:14Don't forget we live on Twitter every day, every week.
0:59:14 > 0:59:17Thanks for watching, and we will see you soon.
1:00:03 > 1:00:03There
1:00:03 > 1:00:06Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga
1:00:06 > 1:00:06Munchetty.
1:00:06 > 1:00:09Boris Johnson flies to Iran to try to secure the release
1:00:09 > 1:00:10of a jailed British mother.
1:00:10 > 1:00:14The Foreign Secretary is due to arrive there in the next few
1:00:14 > 1:00:16hours and will raise "grave concerns" about
1:00:16 > 1:00:17Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who's spent the past 18
1:00:17 > 1:00:20months behind bars.
1:00:37 > 1:00:37Good morning.
1:00:37 > 1:00:39It's Saturday 9th December.
1:00:39 > 1:00:41Also this morning, a Brexit breakthrough by the Prime Minister,
1:00:41 > 1:00:43but a long journey lies ahead.
1:00:43 > 1:00:46We'll get reaction to yesterday's deal and look at what next
1:00:46 > 1:00:48for Britain's departure from the European Union.
1:00:48 > 1:00:51President Trump declares a state of emergency in California as strong
1:00:51 > 1:00:54winds continue to fan the flames of a series
1:00:54 > 1:00:58of devastating wildfires.
1:00:58 > 1:01:02More snow and ice on the way for large parts of the UK
1:01:02 > 1:01:04with freezing temperatures likely to cause travel disruption.
1:01:04 > 1:01:09Stav will have the latest for us.
1:01:09 > 1:01:15Good morning. A wintry weekend for all, with plenty of sunshine in the
1:01:15 > 1:01:20forecast. Cold frosts, a few snow showers, and the potential of some
1:01:20 > 1:01:24significant snowfall some people tomorrow. Join the later for all the
1:01:24 > 1:01:28details. In sport, another off the field incident for England on their
1:01:28 > 1:01:32Ashes tour. It's just been revealed why batsman Ben Duckett was been
1:01:32 > 1:01:35dropped from England's Ashes tour match today - it follows an incident
1:01:35 > 1:01:36in a Perth bar.
1:01:36 > 1:01:39And the extreme riding skills of the mounted police.
1:01:39 > 1:01:42I've been seeing how what they learn for their dramatic display,
1:01:42 > 1:01:47helps them cope with whatever is thrown at them on patrol.
1:01:47 > 1:01:47Good morning.
1:01:47 > 1:01:49First, our main story.
1:01:49 > 1:01:51The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is due to arrive
1:01:51 > 1:01:54in Iran shortly, where he will express what he describes as "grave
1:01:54 > 1:01:57concerns" over the imprisonment of the British-Iranian woman,
1:01:57 > 1:01:57Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
1:01:57 > 1:02:06The aid worker has been held prisoner in the country since April
1:02:06 > 1:02:142016, accused of trying to overthrow the Iranian government -
1:02:14 > 1:02:16a charge she denies.
1:02:16 > 1:02:19Boris Johnson's first visit to Iran could hardly be more sensitive.
1:02:19 > 1:02:22Last month he was accused of damaging the case for the release
1:02:22 > 1:02:24of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe by remarks he
1:02:24 > 1:02:25later apologised for.
1:02:25 > 1:02:27On his way to Tehran to see Iran's Foreign Minister,
1:02:27 > 1:02:41he issued a statement, saying:
1:02:41 > 1:02:44The Foreign Secretary says he will also emphasise the UK's
1:02:44 > 1:02:46continued support for the nuclear deal with
1:02:46 > 1:02:48Iran, despite its repudiation by President Trump.
1:02:48 > 1:02:51And he will also make clear UK's concerns about some of Iran's
1:02:51 > 1:02:56activities, notably in Syria and Yemen.
1:02:56 > 1:02:58He described the relationship with Iran
1:02:58 > 1:02:59as "improving, but not straightforward."
1:02:59 > 1:03:01The Foreign Secretary has been careful to lower
1:03:01 > 1:03:04any expectations of imminent release for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe,
1:03:04 > 1:03:14warning that such cases are very difficult.
1:03:14 > 1:03:18That was our diplomatic correspondent, James Robbins
1:03:18 > 1:03:22reporting.
1:03:22 > 1:03:24Let's speak to our security correspondent, Frank Gardner,
1:03:24 > 1:03:26who joins us from Bahrain.
1:03:26 > 1:03:34Good morning, Frank. Talk about the sensitivities surrounding Boris
1:03:34 > 1:03:40Johnson's arrival in Iran?To call this mission delicate would be an
1:03:40 > 1:03:43understatement. Boris Johnson is going to be stepping in to aid
1:03:43 > 1:03:51diplomatic minefield. -- a. I think the best way to think about this is
1:03:51 > 1:03:56that there are two Irans. There is the public Iran, with a
1:03:56 > 1:04:00democratically elect did the government under President Rohani,
1:04:00 > 1:04:03and the Foreign Minister that he will meet, and the normal officials.
1:04:03 > 1:04:10Then there is the deep state, the Irani Revolutionary guard, the
1:04:10 > 1:04:13hardcore judiciary, the hardliners, the people who want to make a real
1:04:13 > 1:04:19issue out of issues such as Zaghari-Ratcliffe. They will make it
1:04:19 > 1:04:25very difficult. They will potentially have a shopping list, a
1:04:25 > 1:04:29wish list. If there is any talk of releasing her, and of course the
1:04:29 > 1:04:32Foreign Office is trying to separate these issues, but they will want
1:04:32 > 1:04:38something in return. The Iranians will have carefully planned for this
1:04:38 > 1:04:42meeting. They will have looked at all the possibilities, they will
1:04:42 > 1:04:47have looked at the region. They know in advance what they are going to
1:04:47 > 1:04:53discuss. It is not just the use you of the Zaghari-Ratcliffe, it is also
1:04:53 > 1:04:56Yemen, Syria, Mr Johnson will have his demands but they will have
1:04:56 > 1:05:00theirs as well. They are not just going to throw up their hands and
1:05:00 > 1:05:04say, you know what, we have got it wrong, maybe. They will want to play
1:05:04 > 1:05:08hardball.Indeed, so he will have tough negotiating to do. You are in
1:05:08 > 1:05:11Bahrain right now. There is an international security conference
1:05:11 > 1:05:16there. What is the significance of that?It is completely overshadowed
1:05:16 > 1:05:20by the recent announcement by President Trump of the recognition,
1:05:20 > 1:05:25by the United States, of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and
1:05:25 > 1:05:28President Trump's order to eventually move the United States
1:05:28 > 1:05:32embassy to Jerusalem. The big headline here today, I can even show
1:05:32 > 1:05:38it to you, is in the paper here. I don't know if you can see that.
1:05:38 > 1:05:44Trump declaration will incite radicals. Everybody I have in
1:05:44 > 1:05:47speaking to, on the record and off the record, especially
1:05:47 > 1:05:51counterterrorism experts and officials from European agencies,
1:05:51 > 1:05:55they are really worried that this will fuel to reason. That this will
1:05:55 > 1:06:00give ammunition to people who will point to this declaration and say,
1:06:00 > 1:06:05you see, that is what the US is about. Don't be friends with them,
1:06:05 > 1:06:09don't co-operate with them, come and join us, join Isis, join al-Qaeda,
1:06:09 > 1:06:13join this or that. It is a worrying development, and that is certainly
1:06:13 > 1:06:17how it is being seen at this conference.Frank, good to talk to
1:06:17 > 1:06:22you. That was our security correspondent Frank Gardner.
1:06:22 > 1:06:26So, Frank was talking about the issue of Jerusalem and Israel
1:06:26 > 1:06:30overshadowing that conference. Israel has launched further
1:06:30 > 1:06:36airstrikes against Hamas positions in the Gaza Strip in retaliation to
1:06:36 > 1:06:39rocket strikes into Israel. Palestinian and Israeli security
1:06:39 > 1:06:42forces have clashed in the West Bank since President Trump recognise
1:06:42 > 1:06:47Jerusalem as Israel's capital on Wednesday. Yesterday, US Ambassador
1:06:47 > 1:06:52to the UN, Nikki Haley, defended the US' decision and accused the UN of
1:06:52 > 1:07:01IS against Israel. -- of bias.
1:07:01 > 1:07:04Over many years, the United Nations has outrageously been at the world's
1:07:04 > 1:07:06foremost centres of hostility towards Israel.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09The UN has done much more damage to the prospects for Middle East
1:07:09 > 1:07:11peace than to advance them.
1:07:11 > 1:07:13One of the Cabinet's leading Brexiteers has suggested that voters
1:07:13 > 1:07:17can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal
1:07:17 > 1:07:20with the European Union, and to force a future government
1:07:20 > 1:07:22to change course if they don't like it.
1:07:22 > 1:07:24The environment secretary, Michael Gove, made the comments
1:07:24 > 1:07:27in an article in The Daily Telegraph, just a day
1:07:27 > 1:07:29after Theresa May's agreement in Brussels cleared the way
1:07:29 > 1:07:36for trade talks.
1:07:36 > 1:07:39Jonathan, I suppose there has been time for reflection since yesterday
1:07:39 > 1:07:43morning?That's right. The dust has settled on that agreement and
1:07:43 > 1:07:46everybody has had a chance to flick through the detail. This from
1:07:46 > 1:07:49Michael Gove this morning in the Telegraph is perhaps a sign of
1:07:49 > 1:07:53things to come for the Prime Minister. Michael Gove was of course
1:07:53 > 1:07:57a key Leave campaigner and he has given his view of what has been
1:07:57 > 1:08:01agreed so far. He praises the Prime Minister's tenacity and skill in
1:08:01 > 1:08:05securing that -- in ensuring that there would be no hardboard between
1:08:05 > 1:08:08the Republican Northern Ireland, getting a settlement to about £39
1:08:08 > 1:08:13billion in securing the rights of EU citizens in the UK and vice-versa.
1:08:13 > 1:08:16As if to remind people, worried that this might be pointing towards a
1:08:16 > 1:08:22soft Brexit, that the UK really is taking back control, as he puts it,
1:08:22 > 1:08:26the key quote is this. After two years of transition outside the EU
1:08:26 > 1:08:29the British people will be in control and have full freedom to
1:08:29 > 1:08:32diverge from European law on the single market and Customs union. The
1:08:32 > 1:08:38talks will move onto trade. Theresa May might be thinking now that after
1:08:38 > 1:08:47all the hard work, that was the easy bit.Jonathan, thank you.
1:08:47 > 1:08:50Wintry weather looks set to continue, with more snow expected in
1:08:50 > 1:08:53northern and eastern regions of the weekend. Those freezing conditions
1:08:53 > 1:08:56cause significant disruption to commuters yesterday, and there are
1:08:56 > 1:08:58properties in the West Midlands still without power.
1:08:58 > 1:09:08Some of these reindeer are getting their first taste
1:09:08 > 1:09:09of snow in Dudley.
1:09:09 > 1:09:11And in the early hours, more snowfalls have been reported
1:09:11 > 1:09:15across the UK, although conditions are expect to ease for today.
1:09:15 > 1:09:17At Manchester Airport, wings have had to be de-iced.
1:09:17 > 1:09:19An image some are about to leave behind.
1:09:19 > 1:09:21Shropshire is somewhere in this picture.
1:09:21 > 1:09:27Undeterred.
1:09:27 > 1:09:30On the Isle of Man, the weekend began early,
1:09:30 > 1:09:31as all schools were closed.
1:09:31 > 1:09:33Elsewhere, there have been problems on the roads.
1:09:33 > 1:09:36The extremes of the weather are expected to eventually be
1:09:36 > 1:09:39confined to north-east Scotland, but tomorrow, a spell of heavy snow
1:09:39 > 1:09:42is likely over the Midlands and parts of Wales and northern
1:09:42 > 1:09:42England.
1:09:42 > 1:09:4420cm is quite significant.
1:09:44 > 1:09:57We will press ahead of that, we will salt ahead of that,
1:09:57 > 1:10:00but past 20cm we might have to reduce the network and keep
1:10:00 > 1:10:01key routes open.
1:10:01 > 1:10:04That is much as you can do - 20cm is significant.
1:10:04 > 1:10:08The Met Office is warning that some in the countryside may be cut off -
1:10:08 > 1:10:12if the skies were not convincing enough.
1:10:12 > 1:10:17You saw those pictures. Stav will tell us exactly which regions will
1:10:17 > 1:10:19be hit with the snow later on.
1:10:19 > 1:10:22Wildfires in southern California show little sign of letting up
1:10:22 > 1:10:25as hot, dry winds continue to fan the flames.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27More than 200,000 people have fled their homes,
1:10:27 > 1:10:28with more preparing to evacuate today.
1:10:28 > 1:10:31President Trump has declared a state of emergency,
1:10:31 > 1:10:39as Sarah Corker reports.
1:10:39 > 1:10:42In the mountains north of Los Angeles, wildfires
1:10:42 > 1:10:44are roaring through the forests of Ventura County.
1:10:44 > 1:10:47Dry winds are fanning the flames, causing them to spread rapidly,
1:10:47 > 1:10:48and cutting across highways.
1:10:48 > 1:10:51RADIO: These guys are scrambling.
1:10:51 > 1:10:53And the thick plumes of smoke billow for miles.
1:10:53 > 1:10:55Across southern California, tens of thousands of people
1:10:55 > 1:10:56have already fled.
1:10:56 > 1:11:02And this is the destruction they are escaping from.
1:11:02 > 1:11:06I always equate these to my family friends as disaster war zones
1:11:06 > 1:11:10is what you see, with the homes that are lost, and the tragedy that hits
1:11:10 > 1:11:12all of these families that live in these areas.
1:11:12 > 1:11:14Some people now returning home see what, if anything,
1:11:14 > 1:11:16they can salvage from the charred wreckage.
1:11:16 > 1:11:20It's unbelievable, it's devastating, it is horrific.
1:11:20 > 1:11:31There is nothing left.
1:11:31 > 1:11:33Not a darn thing.
1:11:33 > 1:11:38The first fires broke out on Monday, reaching the exclusive neighbourhood
1:11:38 > 1:11:43of Bel Air, in Los Angeles, and threatening the neighbourhoods
1:11:43 > 1:11:45of Hollywood stars.
1:11:45 > 1:11:49At night, it looks like a volcano erupting, and from Santa Barbara
1:11:49 > 1:11:54to LA and San Diego, more than 8,000 firefighters
1:11:54 > 1:11:58are trying to contain these fires, the worst in living memory here.
1:11:58 > 1:12:00Strong winds are forecast through the weekend,
1:12:00 > 1:12:16making for extremely dangerous conditions.
1:12:16 > 1:12:19An urgent review into the availablity of free-to-use ATMs
1:12:19 > 1:12:22is needed to make sure customers do not struggle to access cash,
1:12:22 > 1:12:23according to the consumer watchdog, Which.
1:12:23 > 1:12:27The UK's largest ATM network, Link, wants to cut the fees charged
1:12:27 > 1:12:29to card issuers by the machines' owners.
1:12:29 > 1:12:32But there are concerns an overhaul of the system could result
1:12:32 > 1:12:35in a significant reduction of free-to-access machines.
1:12:35 > 1:12:38It could potentially reduce the number of ATMs in the UK
1:12:38 > 1:12:43or increase the number of pay for ATMs in the UK.
1:12:43 > 1:12:46We want to ensure that consumers have access to money in the way
1:12:46 > 1:12:49they want to, particularly in the face of closing bank
1:12:49 > 1:12:52branches, where people find it more and more difficult to get hold
1:12:52 > 1:13:00of a bank and get their money the way they want to.
1:13:00 > 1:13:04Those are the main stories this morning. It is 712 a.m.. Returning
1:13:04 > 1:13:06to our lead story now.
1:13:06 > 1:13:09The family of a British-Iranian woman imprisoned in Iran since April
1:13:09 > 1:13:122016 say they hope a visit to Tehran by the Foreign Secretary,
1:13:12 > 1:13:14Boris Johnson, could help to free her.
1:13:14 > 1:13:20Mr Johnson has been under pressure to intervene in the case
1:13:20 > 1:13:23of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe who is accused by Iran of spying -
1:13:23 > 1:13:24a charge she denies.
1:13:24 > 1:13:26He'll also use the trip to discuss Britain's relations
1:13:26 > 1:13:27with the country.
1:13:27 > 1:13:32Iranian journalist Sharan Tabari joins us now.
1:13:32 > 1:13:37Thank you for speaking to us this morning. Shall we start those with
1:13:37 > 1:13:45Nathan and Garrett's case? -- Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's case. We
1:13:45 > 1:13:49have spoken to her husband Richard, who is ensuring that her story
1:13:49 > 1:13:52remains prominent. What you think will be achieved either Boris
1:13:52 > 1:13:57Johnson with this visit.Before anything, I must say that I think
1:13:57 > 1:14:01the Foreign Secretary has taken a positive decision to go to Iran to
1:14:01 > 1:14:06discuss Nazanin's future. I mean, her fate. After the mistake that he
1:14:06 > 1:14:11made in the Parliament, saying that she went to Iran to train
1:14:11 > 1:14:15journalists, which wasn't true. That was a very good decision. Given the
1:14:15 > 1:14:24fact that Iran was Mac relationship with the UK is not very active,
1:14:24 > 1:14:28although Britain has an ambassador in Iran, the relationship is not
1:14:28 > 1:14:34very good, it is good to see this as a step forward, I think. He is not
1:14:34 > 1:14:44only going to talk about Nazanin. He is going to talk about the fate of
1:14:44 > 1:14:48all Anglo-Iranians who are in prison in Iran and hopefully they will be a
1:14:48 > 1:14:52positive mood in that respect. I'm not quite sure if the Foreign
1:14:52 > 1:14:55Secretary can bring Nazanin back in time for Christmas, it is very
1:14:55 > 1:15:04short, but I am sure that some progress will be made. Because it is
1:15:04 > 1:15:07not only Nazanin's fate that is going to be discussed, it is a
1:15:07 > 1:15:17number of issues that are on the agenda for the Foreign Secretary.
1:15:17 > 1:15:21Earlier we were talking to our security correspondent who was
1:15:21 > 1:15:25highlighting the issues in Iran at the moment and the trouble the
1:15:25 > 1:15:28government is facing bear in terms of hardliners and what the
1:15:28 > 1:15:34government can be seen to do in terms of compromise. What are they
1:15:34 > 1:15:38balancing when they have a visit from the Foreign Secretary from the
1:15:38 > 1:15:42UK?I am sure the Foreign Secretary has been briefed properly by people
1:15:42 > 1:15:46who know the political environment in Iran, and I believe that it is
1:15:46 > 1:15:55very important that he would talk not only to Mr Rouhani's government,
1:15:55 > 1:16:01but to other people, to the wider political perspective of Iran, and
1:16:01 > 1:16:05that is very important. If he only limits his talks to one group of
1:16:05 > 1:16:10people in Iran, then that can backlash, and it is important the
1:16:10 > 1:16:13Foreign Secretary shows goodwill towards everybody, regardless of
1:16:13 > 1:16:21what they believe. And as I said earlier, there are a number of
1:16:21 > 1:16:29issues to discuss that are of mutual interest to both countries, such
1:16:29 > 1:16:37as... The number-1 issue the fight against Isis, or Daesh, as they call
1:16:37 > 1:16:43it in Iran. As you know, a few days ago the British secretary of defence
1:16:43 > 1:16:50announced that Britain's strategy is to fight Daesh. Daesh is not
1:16:50 > 1:16:54finished, although it is defeated, in Syria and Iraq. It is going to
1:16:54 > 1:17:00reorganise itself wherever there is a week government. Daesh is the
1:17:00 > 1:17:05number-1 enemy of Iran and cooperation between Britain and Iran
1:17:05 > 1:17:09is very important in fighting Daesh. Another issue is the nuclear deal,
1:17:09 > 1:17:15which is under threat, with the Trump administration in America, and
1:17:15 > 1:17:23the support of Britain is vital for Iran. I think that... I am sure the
1:17:23 > 1:17:26Foreign Secretary will discuss all these matters. Another issue is that
1:17:26 > 1:17:31we know the Middle East is very volatile at the moment, and Iran and
1:17:31 > 1:17:39the Saudis are fighting a proxy war in Yemen, and that is another issue
1:17:39 > 1:17:45of discussion which is very important, and I am sure it will be
1:17:45 > 1:17:49addressed. So it is a whole package. The case has prompted a very
1:17:49 > 1:17:57important moment in the foreign policy of Britain and Iran - UK
1:17:57 > 1:18:01relationship, I think.Thank you very much for your insight about the
1:18:01 > 1:18:05Foreign Secretary's visit to Iran.
1:18:05 > 1:18:09Here is Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
1:18:09 > 1:18:10Here is Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
1:18:10 > 1:18:15And a bit nippy, maybe a bit snowy. A bit smelly, yes, we could be
1:18:15 > 1:18:19looking at some disrupted snow as we had on towards the night and Sunday
1:18:19 > 1:18:24morning. Lots of snowy showers across the Midlands, Wales, Scotland
1:18:24 > 1:18:27and Northern Ireland yesterday. So many Weather Watcher pictures, and
1:18:27 > 1:18:33this is just a select few. Many from the West Midlands, you will notice.
1:18:33 > 1:18:37Shropshire was disrupted yesterday at times. Elsewhere it has snowed
1:18:37 > 1:18:41and snow showers have continued this morning. There is likely to be some
1:18:41 > 1:18:44ice and treacherous driving conditions, so watch out for that.
1:18:44 > 1:18:49The majority of the country starts off cold, dry and frosty. Remaining
1:18:49 > 1:18:53sunny throughout the day. If you like the cold and sunshine, a lovely
1:18:53 > 1:18:58day for you. Snow showers towards Cheshire, north Wales, and a cold
1:18:58 > 1:19:02day if you are out on the breeze in the north-east. It will be colder
1:19:02 > 1:19:04than those temperatures will suggest. This is where the weather
1:19:04 > 1:19:08gets interesting. Overnight temperatures fall away, but this
1:19:08 > 1:19:12weather system begins to push on from the south-west. Initially ran
1:19:12 > 1:19:16across the south-west. It bumps into the cold, heavy snow during early
1:19:16 > 1:19:21hours and into Sunday morning. Anywhere in this Zuev, the Midlands,
1:19:21 > 1:19:25northern England and Wales could see ten to 20 centimetres of snow. That
1:19:25 > 1:19:29is disruptive amounts of snow, especially in the UK. The Met Office
1:19:29 > 1:19:34haven't Amber weather warning. If you don't have any urgent journeys,
1:19:34 > 1:19:38I would suggest staying home through the morning as the snow is set to
1:19:38 > 1:19:42continue. It will peter out and turn back to rain as strong winds moving
1:19:42 > 1:19:46from the south-west. We are looking at gales for South Wales and
1:19:46 > 1:19:50southern counties of England through the day. Quite a cold feel to things
1:19:50 > 1:19:55despite that colder air moving in. Northern Ireland a cold and crisp
1:19:55 > 1:20:00day with sunshine. That is how Sunday is looking, and as we look in
1:20:00 > 1:20:04the South on Monday, this storm battering parts of France will give
1:20:04 > 1:20:08a glancing blow to southern counties of the UK. A wet and windy spell
1:20:08 > 1:20:12through Monday across the south, potentially with a little bit of
1:20:12 > 1:20:16snow over higher ground. I think it is mostly going to be rain and
1:20:16 > 1:20:19strong winds, and gradually moving away through the course of the day.
1:20:19 > 1:20:24Northern areas dry and bright, plenty of sunshine, and then that
1:20:24 > 1:20:28storm clears away and it is looking drier, finer and more settled for
1:20:28 > 1:20:33most of us. Pretty severe weather on the way. Keep tuned to the forecast
1:20:33 > 1:20:35and BBC local radio for the latest
1:20:35 > 1:20:37and BBC local radio for the latest forecast.And we will keep tuned to
1:20:37 > 1:20:38you as well.
1:20:38 > 1:20:41Should things like wolf-whistling, unwanted sexual advances and sexist
1:20:41 > 1:20:42remarks be classed as hate crimes?
1:20:42 > 1:20:46It is something police in Nottingham have been doing for some time.
1:20:46 > 1:20:49Now, the head of hate crime at the National Police Chiefs Council
1:20:49 > 1:20:52has told MPs that other forces are considering doing the same.
1:20:52 > 1:20:54The former chief constable of Nottinghamshire Police,
1:20:54 > 1:20:57Sue Fish, is here to discuss this, along with Helen Vose
1:20:57 > 1:21:04from Nottingham Women's Centre.
1:21:04 > 1:21:09Good morning to you both. So Nottingham Police have been doing
1:21:09 > 1:21:13this for some time. What has been the reaction in terms of evidence or
1:21:13 > 1:21:19incidents that have been reported, and what has happened with those?
1:21:19 > 1:21:24Well, the evidence, as we were told by women in Nottingham and
1:21:24 > 1:21:27Nottinghamshire was that this was very much an everyday occurrence,
1:21:27 > 1:21:30and that it really impinged on their ability to fulfil their potential
1:21:30 > 1:21:36and go about their life, just in a very normal, natural way.And when
1:21:36 > 1:21:41they refer to this, unwanted sexual advances, or comments? Throwaway
1:21:41 > 1:21:45comments?All of the above, including indecent assault,
1:21:45 > 1:21:52including physical attack, in terms of harassment. Obscene, grotesque
1:21:52 > 1:22:00invitations being offered to them, completely unsolicited and unwanted.
1:22:00 > 1:22:05Helen, how much of a problem is this?Women tell us that they
1:22:05 > 1:22:08experience this every day, and I think they do. Whether they reported
1:22:08 > 1:22:13to the police is a different thing. So we didn't expect incidents to go
1:22:13 > 1:22:17through the roof and police to be inundated, and in the first year 97
1:22:17 > 1:22:21women spoke to police about it is. But it is a widespread issue and we
1:22:21 > 1:22:25hope I police recognising misogyny as a hate crime that people will
1:22:25 > 1:22:28know that sort of behaviour is not acceptable in Nottingham and it will
1:22:28 > 1:22:33go down.And those 97 incidents you talk about, give us the scope, they
1:22:33 > 1:22:38go from where to wear a?OK, so the classic walking past a building site
1:22:38 > 1:22:42and someone shout something about your appearance to you as you walk
1:22:42 > 1:22:45past, or a young girl that the neighbour was wolf-whistling and
1:22:45 > 1:22:49shouting up to her every time she left the house, to the point that
1:22:49 > 1:22:54she didn't want to go to school any more.OK, so these are some of the
1:22:54 > 1:22:57cases that were reported to police, and just take us through what
1:22:57 > 1:23:01happened next. They are being treated in a different way than they
1:23:01 > 1:23:07ever had. They are being reported, what happens next?Our call handlers
1:23:07 > 1:23:13take the call, and they will allocate it to be investigated by an
1:23:13 > 1:23:17officer. In the case that Helen talked about just now with the young
1:23:17 > 1:23:22girl who was continually being bombarded by her neighbour...This
1:23:22 > 1:23:29is... Sorry, the nature of that was what? Comments, or wolf whistling?
1:23:29 > 1:23:34Wolf whistling and comments. So we went around to talk to the goal and
1:23:34 > 1:23:39her mother and understood what they wanted to happen. And first and
1:23:39 > 1:23:42foremost, it was around it stopping and not happening again, and not
1:23:42 > 1:23:48happening to any other girl or woman. So went and saw the chap who
1:23:48 > 1:23:54lived next door, talked to him about what he had done, why he had done
1:23:54 > 1:23:59it, worked with him about the error of his ways, and to date there has
1:23:59 > 1:24:04been no further incidents whatsoever. So the purpose is around
1:24:04 > 1:24:07really educating rather than criminal Eisen, but on occasion
1:24:07 > 1:24:11there will be times when committal path is the only appropriate path.
1:24:11 > 1:24:15So one of the things perhaps that people are hearing is no one should
1:24:15 > 1:24:19have to put up with behaviour like that, of any sex, no one should have
1:24:19 > 1:24:25to put up with any behaviour like that. But when they hear the term
1:24:25 > 1:24:29misogyny is a crime, what the scale, how do you judge this on a scale? Is
1:24:29 > 1:24:34it walking past a building site and some builders wolf whistle, and make
1:24:34 > 1:24:40someone feel uncomfortable, is that a crime to be reported to the
1:24:40 > 1:24:45police, and understaffed and unfunded police force?Outside of
1:24:45 > 1:24:53the police context, to me it is how it has made the woman feel.I don't
1:24:53 > 1:24:56think anyone denies that people will feel uncomfortable but the point of
1:24:56 > 1:24:59this is talking about how it translates into a crime and how it
1:24:59 > 1:25:04is dealt with.But I don't think it needs to be a crime. I think most of
1:25:04 > 1:25:07the things that have been reported incidents, and they don't become a
1:25:07 > 1:25:11criminal thing, but they wanted to stop. So to speak to somebody and
1:25:11 > 1:25:15make it stop for other women is what most women want.OK, but in terms of
1:25:15 > 1:25:18police time and police funding, which is something we talk a lot
1:25:18 > 1:25:22about on this programme, rightly so, do police have time to deal with...
1:25:22 > 1:25:26It is a chat, as you put it, and rightly so it needs to be flagged
1:25:26 > 1:25:30up, but is that the police to do it? I think so, yes, without question.
1:25:30 > 1:25:34It is about saying as a woman it doesn't matter. That is normal, you
1:25:34 > 1:25:38can be abused like that, but for blokes, that is fine, in the main.
1:25:38 > 1:25:43So I think it is very important. And what we have seen, as Helen said, is
1:25:43 > 1:25:48there has not been some tsunami of demand. This is... Women now have
1:25:48 > 1:25:53the choice. They know that it is not acceptable. They know that, if they
1:25:53 > 1:25:57report to Nottinghamshire police they will be taken seriously,
1:25:57 > 1:26:04treated with empathy, with compassion. And, if we can, we will
1:26:04 > 1:26:08identify who is responsible and deal appropriately.Can I ask you, you
1:26:08 > 1:26:11know the scenario, and this is the process he went through, you went to
1:26:11 > 1:26:15visit the neighbour who was doing this. If that person, let's say it
1:26:15 > 1:26:20is a man in that situation, if you go to the door and say this is what
1:26:20 > 1:26:23has happened, and they say to you a crime? What does your officers say
1:26:23 > 1:26:31next?Well, it depends.Let's do the scene here. I am the person and I
1:26:31 > 1:26:36say have I committed a crime, officer? If I haven't committed a
1:26:36 > 1:26:43crime, please leave. What do you do next?Well, we will attempt to talk
1:26:43 > 1:26:47to them.But I haven't committed a crime.You still have the
1:26:47 > 1:26:52opportunity to talk to someone about...Not if I am saying leave my
1:26:52 > 1:26:56door. I'm trying to think how this works in practice. If you get
1:26:56 > 1:26:59someone who is thick-skinned, possibly that is why they are doing
1:26:59 > 1:27:02it in the first place, is because they are not thinking about
1:27:02 > 1:27:05someone's feelings, equally well they might turn around to a police
1:27:05 > 1:27:10officer and say I haven't committed a crime. Go and talk to someone
1:27:10 > 1:27:14else.At again, it is about how officers deal with that sort of
1:27:14 > 1:27:18circumstance, and we are very used to, police officers are very used to
1:27:18 > 1:27:24having conversations in difficult circumstances, and we see people day
1:27:24 > 1:27:28in, day out, where crimes haven't been committed. Crime is actually a
1:27:28 > 1:27:33very small part of policing activity, where we have
1:27:33 > 1:27:37straightforward, consensual access to people's homes and to themselves,
1:27:37 > 1:27:40to have difficult conversations. And that is simply what we do.
1:27:40 > 1:27:45Nottingham has started this, and 97 reported in the last year, and as
1:27:45 > 1:27:49you say, you are not going to change the world overnight. I don't think
1:27:49 > 1:27:52we are challenging that. It is almost how does this work in
1:27:52 > 1:27:56practice? Other police officers are going to follow Nottingham.A number
1:27:56 > 1:28:02already have.And what are they saying in terms of resource in, and
1:28:02 > 1:28:06in terms of how open officers are to adding this to their workload?I
1:28:06 > 1:28:09think they have found exactly what we have found in Nottinghamshire,
1:28:09 > 1:28:13which is that it is doing the right thing is what is really important
1:28:13 > 1:28:18here. No one said, or I would like and it probably to domestic violence
1:28:18 > 1:28:2620 years ago, where actually, well, we don't deal with that. Or rape, or
1:28:26 > 1:28:30child sexual explication. For me this is about police being on the
1:28:30 > 1:28:33front foot, doing the right thing rather than being shamed,
1:28:33 > 1:28:36ultimately, because we have been found to be inadequate in terms of
1:28:36 > 1:28:39how we respond to this.And do you think that the logical progression
1:28:39 > 1:28:43of this, and you made the analogy with domestic crime, is that this
1:28:43 > 1:28:46does become officially part of hate crime legislation, if you like
1:28:46 > 1:28:57Osemwegie Semi Eboigbe is that the logical step?That for me is... My
1:28:57 > 1:29:01colleagues are looking at how we can have this adopted by every police
1:29:01 > 1:29:07force, rather than where there is a committed officer who brought that
1:29:07 > 1:29:11forward with the support of partners, and again, we are looking
1:29:11 > 1:29:17to work with the Home Office, the Minister of justice, and the Crown
1:29:17 > 1:29:20Prosecution Service about how this can be enshrined further.And that
1:29:20 > 1:29:26is the message you need, isn't it? Absolutely.Thank you very much.
1:29:26 > 1:29:27Stay with us.
1:29:27 > 1:29:28Headlines coming up.
1:30:23 > 1:30:25Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga
1:30:25 > 1:30:26Munchetty.
1:30:26 > 1:30:26Good morning.
1:30:26 > 1:30:29Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
1:30:29 > 1:30:31The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is due to arrive
1:30:31 > 1:30:35in Iran in the next few hours, where he's expected to press
1:30:35 > 1:30:37for the release of the British-Iranian woman,
1:30:37 > 1:30:48Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
1:30:48 > 1:30:50The aid worker has been held prisoner in the country
1:30:50 > 1:30:51since April 2016.
1:30:51 > 1:30:54She's accused of trying to overthrow the Iranian government,
1:30:54 > 1:30:55a charge she denies.
1:30:55 > 1:30:57It's expected Mr Johnson will also discuss Britain's wider
1:30:57 > 1:30:58relations with Iran.
1:30:58 > 1:31:01One of the Cabinet's leading Brexiteers has suggested that voters
1:31:01 > 1:31:05can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal
1:31:05 > 1:31:08with the European Union and to force a future government to change course
1:31:08 > 1:31:12if they don't like it.
1:31:12 > 1:31:14The Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, makes his comments
1:31:14 > 1:31:17in The Daily Telegraph, a day after Theresa May's agreement
1:31:17 > 1:31:19in Brussels cleared the way for trade talks.
1:31:19 > 1:31:22The Cabinet is expected to meet in the next fortnight to discuss
1:31:22 > 1:31:24Britain's future relationship with the EU.
1:31:24 > 1:31:26Israel has launched further air strikes against Hamas military
1:31:26 > 1:31:28positions in the Gaza Strip, in retaliation for Palestinian
1:31:28 > 1:31:30rocket attacks on southern Israel.
1:31:30 > 1:31:33Palestinians and Israeli security forces have clashed in the West Bank
1:31:33 > 1:31:35since President Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's
1:31:35 > 1:31:36capital on Wednesday.
1:31:36 > 1:31:38Yesterday, the US Ambassador, Nikki Haley, defended Donald Trump's
1:31:38 > 1:31:47comments and accused the UN of bias against Israel.
1:31:47 > 1:31:50Over many years, the United Nations has outrageously been at the world's
1:31:50 > 1:31:52foremost centres of hostility towards Israel.
1:31:52 > 1:31:55The UN has done much more damage to the prospects for Middle East
1:31:55 > 1:32:01peace than to advance them.
1:32:01 > 1:32:04The wintry weather looks set to continue with Met Office warnings
1:32:04 > 1:32:06in place for large parts of the UK.
1:32:06 > 1:32:08More snow and freezing temperatures are forecast for northern
1:32:08 > 1:32:10and eastern regions into tomorrow.
1:32:10 > 1:32:12Yesterday, commuters faced problems on the roads and railways
1:32:12 > 1:32:23and hundreds of properties remain without power in the West Midlands.
1:32:23 > 1:32:25Now for a sharp contrast.
1:32:25 > 1:32:27Firefighters in southern California are continuing to battle wildfires,
1:32:27 > 1:32:29which have destroyed hundreds of homes.
1:32:29 > 1:32:32More than 200-thousand people have already fled the area and many more
1:32:32 > 1:32:33are preparing to evacuate.
1:32:33 > 1:32:37President Trump has declared a state of emergency as the fires continue
1:32:37 > 1:32:45to spread.
1:32:45 > 1:32:47An urgent review into the availablity of free-to-use ATMs
1:32:47 > 1:32:50is needed to make sure customers do not struggle to access cash,
1:32:50 > 1:32:52according to the consumer watchdog, Which?
1:32:52 > 1:32:55The UK's largest ATM network, Link, wants to cut the fees charged
1:32:55 > 1:32:57to card issuers by the machines' owners.
1:32:57 > 1:33:00But there are concerns an overhaul of the system could result
1:33:00 > 1:33:02in a significant reduction of free-to-access machines.
1:33:02 > 1:33:05Which could potentially reduce the number of ATMs in the UK
1:33:05 > 1:33:08or increase the number of paid-for ATMs in the UK.
1:33:08 > 1:33:11We want to ensure that consumers have access to money in the way
1:33:11 > 1:33:14they want to, particularly in the face of closing bank
1:33:14 > 1:33:17branches, where people find it more and more difficult to get hold
1:33:17 > 1:33:22of a bank and get their money the way they want to.
1:33:22 > 1:33:25The FIFA World Cup is still six months away but players,
1:33:25 > 1:33:28managers and fans will already be dreaming about how
1:33:28 > 1:33:32well their team might do.
1:33:32 > 1:33:39Every minute of their very night.I can imagine. And of course we are
1:33:39 > 1:33:44missing Paul the octopus?Yes, he sadly passed away, after becoming
1:33:44 > 1:33:49famous for his predictions in 2010. I thought you are guessing that he
1:33:49 > 1:33:54died.Well, octopus is only live for two years, and he lived to two and
1:33:54 > 1:33:58half years. IT had a song and an online game named after him. These
1:33:58 > 1:34:01are some animals in Russia trying to predict next year's result.Paul
1:34:01 > 1:34:07wasn't Russian.No, he was from Weymouth, actually, then he moved to
1:34:07 > 1:34:12Germany.That cat, that is too smart to be doing nonsense like that.
1:34:12 > 1:34:17Well, so many animals have tried in 2014. The donkey failed to get the
1:34:17 > 1:34:23result right. Some penguins. The slot. They were all trying to copy
1:34:23 > 1:34:29Paul.I stopped listening when you said Paul was from Weymouth.Is that
1:34:29 > 1:34:33true? Yes, he moved to Germany.I didn't know they had octopuses in
1:34:33 > 1:34:39Weymouth.Well, I don't know if he was wild, or...So much to think
1:34:39 > 1:34:43about and talk about. We have some breaking news coming from Australia
1:34:43 > 1:34:55this morning. You must move on to that.The players went out in Perth
1:34:55 > 1:34:59and there was an incident and now and Duckett has been dropped from
1:34:59 > 1:35:04today's game. -- Ben Duckett.
1:35:04 > 1:35:06Let's get more and speak to our sports correspondent,
1:35:06 > 1:35:08Andy Swiss, who's in Perth.
1:35:08 > 1:35:10Hi Andy, what more do we know?
1:35:10 > 1:35:14Yes, Mike, just when you thought England's is of an area problems
1:35:14 > 1:35:19were over, this comes along. Ben Duckett, as you say, is training in
1:35:19 > 1:35:22Perth with the England Lions squad, which is effectively England's
1:35:22 > 1:35:28second-tier squad. Today he was due to pay -- play for England in their
1:35:28 > 1:35:34warmup game against Australia's rickety 11. He is facing an ECB
1:35:34 > 1:35:37disciplinarian choir it over an incident in a bar in Perth on
1:35:37 > 1:35:45Thursday. -- supply Mary panel. He was out with other players on the
1:35:45 > 1:35:49test squad. There is no details on the incident itself, but the police
1:35:49 > 1:35:53were not involved, nor were any members of the public. But he is
1:35:53 > 1:35:58facing a disciplinarian process and has been suspended in the meantime.
1:35:58 > 1:36:02Clearly this will raise more questions over the behaviour of
1:36:02 > 1:36:04England's players. Staggeringly, this incident happened on the first
1:36:04 > 1:36:08night England's players were allowed to go out after the lifting of a
1:36:08 > 1:36:11midnight curfew. That curfew had originally been imposed following an
1:36:11 > 1:36:16incident involving Jonny Bairstow, the England wicket-keeper, in a bar
1:36:16 > 1:36:22in Perth last month. Of course, as well as that, there is the ongoing
1:36:22 > 1:36:25situation with Ben Stokes. You still waiting to find out if he will be
1:36:25 > 1:36:29charged over an incident outside a nightclub in Bristol in September.
1:36:29 > 1:36:34Frankly, this latest disciplinary distraction is the last thing
1:36:34 > 1:36:38England need right now.Exactly, as they are trying to come back from
1:36:38 > 1:36:422-0 down in the series. Has a new curfew being imposed on the squad?
1:36:42 > 1:36:47We don't know. We are expecting to find out later from Trevor Bayliss,
1:36:47 > 1:36:50the England coach. He was pretty furious after the Jonny Bairstow
1:36:50 > 1:36:54incident. He said some of the players needed to be much smarter.
1:36:54 > 1:36:58It will be interesting to hear what he has to say. The reaction just yet
1:36:58 > 1:37:01about whether that midnight curfew might even imposed following this
1:37:01 > 1:37:10latest incident. -- might be reimpose. -- reimposed.
1:37:10 > 1:37:13On the pitch, opener Keaton Jennings, has made a case
1:37:13 > 1:37:15for picking him next week, by scoring 80,
1:37:15 > 1:37:16against a Cricket Australia eleven.
1:37:16 > 1:37:20Apart from that it's been a bit worrying for the tourists in this 2
1:37:20 > 1:37:22day match, batting first and when rain stopped play
1:37:22 > 1:37:36they were 215-7.
1:37:36 > 1:37:42Now, we hear that one seventh will be watching Manchester tomorrow. One
1:37:42 > 1:37:47seventh of the world's population. It is an amazing stat, but I'm not
1:37:47 > 1:37:51convinced by it.Before you said they would be watching, now you have
1:37:51 > 1:37:56said they will be keeping an eye on it?Well, it is the same thing.I
1:37:56 > 1:38:02did some research. The world population is 7.5 early on. I said,
1:38:02 > 1:38:08maybe there are lots of fans in China. That is 1.4 billion.I don't
1:38:08 > 1:38:12know if we are talking about the viewing population.The viewing
1:38:12 > 1:38:17population but I am passing the buck on this one.It is the number of
1:38:17 > 1:38:21people who are interested.Look, it is going to be popular, to say the
1:38:21 > 1:38:23least.
1:38:23 > 1:38:25So all eyes on Manchester and Merseyside tomorrow,
1:38:25 > 1:38:28but this lunchtime, it's East against West London,
1:38:28 > 1:38:29as West Ham host Chelsea.
1:38:29 > 1:38:33The Hammers are in the bottom three and looking for a first win under
1:38:33 > 1:38:34new manager David Moyes.
1:38:34 > 1:38:37But despite their position the Scot thinks he is starting
1:38:37 > 1:38:39to make his mark on his new squad.
1:38:39 > 1:38:43I don't want to get too carried away but the players have been very good.
1:38:43 > 1:38:45They have tried to take on board everything.
1:38:45 > 1:38:46They are doing their work.
1:38:46 > 1:38:50As I said from the start, they will have to do the work
1:38:50 > 1:38:51if they want to play.
1:38:51 > 1:38:55Hopefully they are all doing that.
1:38:55 > 1:39:00The late drama in the championship last night. Aidan Flin Flon say
1:39:00 > 1:39:03goal. A last-minute winner for Bristol city against Sheffield
1:39:03 > 1:39:06United.
1:39:06 > 1:39:09They could have lost their manager to Rangers, but Aberdeen repaid
1:39:09 > 1:39:12Derek McInnes for staying in charge with a 1-0 win at Dundee.
1:39:12 > 1:39:15Scott McKenna's goal just after the break was enough to seal
1:39:15 > 1:39:17the three points, which moves Aberdeen into second place
1:39:17 > 1:39:20in the Scottish Premiership - three points above Rangers,
1:39:20 > 1:39:23before they play tomorrow.
1:39:23 > 1:39:26The Premier League could be taking on, Strictly Come Dancing
1:39:26 > 1:39:30and the X Factor in a Saturday evening battle for viewers.
1:39:30 > 1:39:33Eight games will be played in a new 7:45 slot, under a new TV
1:39:33 > 1:39:35package, which will start in the 2019-20 season.
1:39:35 > 1:39:39Broadcasters will be able to bid to show 200 games per season -
1:39:39 > 1:39:50that's more than half of all matches.
1:39:50 > 1:39:54What would you rather watch, the dancing, or the likes of Chelsea in
1:39:54 > 1:39:56the Premier League? Just throwing out how to there.
1:39:56 > 1:39:59Next to a big blow for Wales's Six Nations campaign.
1:39:59 > 1:40:02Their captain Sam Warburton has been ruled out of the tournament.
1:40:02 > 1:40:06The 29-year-old has had keen surgery on an existing injury and will be
1:40:06 > 1:40:08out for up to six months.
1:40:08 > 1:40:10--Knee surgery.
1:40:10 > 1:40:13Glasgow are out of the European Champions Cup after a home
1:40:13 > 1:40:14defeat to Montpelier.
1:40:14 > 1:40:17The French side opened the scoring with the try of the match
1:40:17 > 1:40:18from Kelian Galletier.
1:40:18 > 1:40:22Glasgow did lead 17-5 at one stage, but ended up losing 29-22.
1:40:22 > 1:40:25Its a bright outlook for Ronnie O'Sullivan whatever
1:40:25 > 1:40:26happens in the snooker today.
1:40:26 > 1:40:28The Rocket will play Stephen Maguire in the semi-finals,
1:40:28 > 1:40:31after beating Martin Gould 6-3, while Shaun Murphy will play
1:40:31 > 1:40:33Ryan Day in the other semi.
1:40:33 > 1:40:34And whatever happens in O'Sullivan's match,
1:40:34 > 1:40:36he feels he can't lose.
1:40:36 > 1:40:40It was win-win because I thought, if they get beaten, at least I get
1:40:40 > 1:40:41home to dinner.
1:40:41 > 1:40:43And if I win I have another day here.
1:40:43 > 1:40:45I have to have a win-win.
1:40:45 > 1:40:49At this stage of the game...
1:40:49 > 1:40:53There are quite a few places around here that will do dinner for you.
1:40:53 > 1:40:55Yes, but I would like to see my missus.
1:40:55 > 1:40:59I decided a while ago, I like to do my own thing.
1:40:59 > 1:41:02Whatever happens in the game is great, I pick and choose
1:41:02 > 1:41:03what I want to do.
1:41:03 > 1:41:15I think my happiness comes in doing other things away from snooker.
1:41:15 > 1:41:18In 8 weeks Lizzie Yarnold will try to become the first British
1:41:18 > 1:41:21athlete to retain a winter olympic title, but the season
1:41:21 > 1:41:24is not going to plan for the skeleton bob slider.
1:41:24 > 1:41:26Yarnold won the gold in Sochi 4 years ago,
1:41:26 > 1:41:29but yesterday falling snow hampered her, and she finished 13th
1:41:29 > 1:41:32place at the latest World Cup event at Wintersberg, in Germany.
1:41:32 > 1:41:36"What can you do in a snow storm," she tweeted.
1:41:36 > 1:41:38Jumping fences and riding through fire mean their skills
1:41:38 > 1:41:42are arguably even more extreme than the likes of AP McCoy and Nick
1:41:42 > 1:41:42Skelton.
1:41:42 > 1:41:45Now the Met's mounted police are gearing up to show
1:41:45 > 1:41:48off their stuff at the Horse of the Year Show, which takes place
1:41:48 > 1:41:50this week in London.
1:41:50 > 1:41:53I joined them in training to find out how these skills help them
1:41:53 > 1:41:58prepare for being on the beat in London.
1:41:58 > 1:42:00They are the heavyweights of the equestrian world,
1:42:00 > 1:42:02with some of the bravest riders.
1:42:02 > 1:42:05Despite the size and the weight of these beasts, it is all
1:42:05 > 1:42:07about the most delicate position and accuracy,
1:42:07 > 1:42:10as they jump through fire and even manage to remove some
1:42:10 > 1:42:14of their uniform - and the saddle, and stirrups.
1:42:14 > 1:42:18But this isn't just about showcasing their skills this week.
1:42:18 > 1:42:22The mounted police use this training to help them prepare for their main
1:42:22 > 1:42:28job, and whatever they might face on the streets of London.
1:42:28 > 1:42:36We are cops on horses, police officers on horses.
1:42:36 > 1:42:38These horses are all operational horses.
1:42:38 > 1:42:40They patrol the streets of London daily.
1:42:40 > 1:42:42This ride we are doing, what you see today, it's
1:42:42 > 1:42:45all about training and developing the officers, and developing
1:42:45 > 1:42:48the horses, so that we can take those skills out onto the street.
1:42:48 > 1:42:51In a public order situation, like a riot, they say that one
1:42:51 > 1:42:54mounted officer can do the job of ten on foot.
1:42:54 > 1:42:58I saw how crucial these training sessions are for when things don't
1:42:58 > 1:43:06go to plan.
1:43:06 > 1:43:08You have to be quite robust as a rider.
1:43:08 > 1:43:11You can have situations, not that many years ago,
1:43:11 > 1:43:13like Tottenham, you have vehicles and buildings burning.
1:43:13 > 1:43:14A horse reacts adversely to that.
1:43:14 > 1:43:17So this sort of thing is great for their training.
1:43:17 > 1:43:23It's about trust and confidence.
1:43:23 > 1:43:26The first mounted police were around 150 years before the first pictures
1:43:26 > 1:43:29in the 1920s, and over the following decades,
1:43:29 > 1:43:30they became famous for their musical rides.
1:43:30 > 1:43:33NEWSREEL: This is a trial of precision and grace,
1:43:33 > 1:43:35where the policemen can show off their equestrian skills.
1:43:35 > 1:43:39Since 2014 there has been an increase in the number of mounted
1:43:39 > 1:43:41police again, following a study by a university which showed
1:43:41 > 1:43:45that the value of the horses was icebreakers - not just in public
1:43:45 > 1:43:47order situations but in community policing as well.
1:43:47 > 1:43:51You are six times more likely to interact and chat to a police
1:43:51 > 1:43:54officer if they are on a horse than if they are just on foot.
1:43:54 > 1:43:57Of course, it's all to do with the horse.
1:43:57 > 1:43:59I think a personable horse helps a bit.
1:43:59 > 1:44:01You're much more approachable on a horse.
1:44:01 > 1:44:04I found the difference, initially, when I joined the mounted branch,
1:44:04 > 1:44:07I couldn't believe how many people stopped and wanted to speak to you.
1:44:07 > 1:44:11If you go to an estate, you will get a crowd around you,
1:44:11 > 1:44:13just purely to pat the horse.
1:44:13 > 1:44:24Before they know it, they're talking to a police officer.
1:44:24 > 1:44:26This is where it all begins.
1:44:26 > 1:44:29Lots of the policemen who join the mounted force have not been
1:44:29 > 1:44:31on a horse before they start training.
1:44:31 > 1:44:3316 weeks later, the trust between police officer and horse
1:44:33 > 1:44:36is so great that they will even run through walls together.
1:44:36 > 1:44:39There's only so much I can do on a horse.
1:44:39 > 1:44:42But this gives me a taste of what it is like.
1:44:42 > 1:44:44Jumping the fences, taking off their jackets,
1:44:44 > 1:44:56and having the trust to power through the final wall.
1:44:56 > 1:45:00Luckily, that idiot will not be out Olympia performing this week. The
1:45:00 > 1:45:05horses will be, would be met police, and other highlights this week.
1:45:06 > 1:45:09Here is Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
1:45:09 > 1:45:10Definitely chilly,
1:45:10 > 1:45:15Definitely chilly, and there is snow for many of us.Good morning to you
1:45:15 > 1:45:18both. It will remain wintry and cold for the foreseeable future, with
1:45:18 > 1:45:25some significant snow into tomorrow. Plenty of snow lying across parts of
1:45:25 > 1:45:28Scotland, Northern Ireland, north-west England, Wales, the West
1:45:28 > 1:45:33Midlands. Parts of Shropshire and parts of south Wales saw some real
1:45:33 > 1:45:37winter wonderland scenes. Where there is lying snow there will be
1:45:37 > 1:45:42ice. Watch out for that untreated roads and pavements. Apart from a
1:45:42 > 1:45:44few showers across northern Scotland, Northern Ireland,
1:45:44 > 1:45:49north-west England and north Wales through the day, it will be a lovely
1:45:49 > 1:45:53day. Gorgeous spells of sunshine around, widespread sunshine, and
1:45:53 > 1:45:56winds lighter from the far north-east, where it will be quite
1:45:56 > 1:46:01easy. Heavy snows here. Temperatures about one to six degrees in the
1:46:01 > 1:46:06south-west. A nice day if you wrap up and head out. Tonight things will
1:46:06 > 1:46:09get interesting. Temperatures falling away, you can see the blue
1:46:09 > 1:46:13colour is in this area of low pressure moving in. Of heavy rain
1:46:13 > 1:46:17bumping into the cold air and turning into snow. A bit of
1:46:17 > 1:46:22uncertainty as to its north and south extent but in the heavy snow
1:46:22 > 1:46:27area, where we could see ten to 20 centimetres, there is likely to be
1:46:27 > 1:46:30significant disruption. That is parts of Wales, West Midlands and
1:46:30 > 1:46:36northern England. No surprise the Met Office have an amber be prepared
1:46:36 > 1:46:39warning for this. Likely to be some disruption through Sunday morning.
1:46:39 > 1:46:43If you are heading out, make sure it is an emergency. Enjoy watching the
1:46:43 > 1:46:49snow if you enjoy that. The snow should peter out and turn back into
1:46:49 > 1:46:52rain, slightly milder air moving back into the system. Fairly windy
1:46:52 > 1:46:57in southern parts of England. Gale force or severe gale force winds
1:46:57 > 1:46:59through the afternoon. Scotland and Northern Ireland will be wondering
1:46:59 > 1:47:04what all the fuss is about. Cold, dry and sunny here. This storm is
1:47:04 > 1:47:08expected to batter parts of France as we had on towards Monday, but its
1:47:08 > 1:47:12northern extent is likely to affect southern parts of the country again.
1:47:12 > 1:47:16Northern areas seeing the best of the sunshine. A cold day, wet and
1:47:16 > 1:47:21windy in the south, and some of the rain turning into snow over the high
1:47:21 > 1:47:24ground. The rain will clear away through the course of the afternoon.
1:47:24 > 1:47:28Behind that system, skies brightening up as we head into
1:47:28 > 1:47:32Tuesday. The risk of ice first thing, but at least dry with lots of
1:47:32 > 1:47:37sunshine across the south. Some pretty severe weather on the way.
1:47:37 > 1:47:38Thank you very much.
1:47:38 > 1:47:40We will have the headlines in a moment.
1:47:40 > 1:47:42Now it's time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed.
1:47:42 > 1:47:44Now it's time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed.
1:47:44 > 1:47:47Hello, and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed.
1:47:47 > 1:47:50Coming up: The News at Ten can't tell the difference between three
1:47:50 > 1:47:53Bollywood actors in reporting the death of film star Shashi
1:47:53 > 1:47:58Kapoor.
1:47:58 > 1:48:00And how the BBC is sending journalists into schools
1:48:00 > 1:48:05to tackle fake news.
1:48:05 > 1:48:08First, how the death of the renowned Indian actor Shashi Kapoor
1:48:08 > 1:48:14was covered on the News at Ten this week.
1:48:14 > 1:48:18The BBC chose to play only very brief footage as Huw Edwards
1:48:18 > 1:48:22announced the star had died aged 79.
1:48:22 > 1:48:24But neither of the actors shown work Shashi Kapoor.
1:48:24 > 1:48:27The veteran Indian actor Shashi Kapoor has died in hospital
1:48:27 > 1:48:29in Mumbai at the age of 79.
1:48:29 > 1:48:32From one of India's greatest acting families, he appeared in more
1:48:32 > 1:48:34than 150 films, including a dozen in English.
1:48:34 > 1:48:37He starred in some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters
1:48:37 > 1:48:47of the 1970s and 1980s.
1:48:47 > 1:48:50Many viewers noticed and complained on social media and the programme's
1:48:50 > 1:48:57editor Paul Royal apologised on Twitter shortly after.
1:49:07 > 1:49:10And on the following night's News at Ten, Huw Edwards apologised over
1:49:10 > 1:49:17photographs of Shashi Kapoor.
1:49:17 > 1:49:19They confirmed that mistakes were due to human error.
1:49:19 > 1:49:22Last night we showed the wrong images, which we apologised for.
1:49:22 > 1:49:25The actor appeared in more than 150 films, including a number
1:49:25 > 1:49:26of English-language productions.
1:49:26 > 1:49:29Shashi Kapoor won numerous acting prizes during his long career,
1:49:29 > 1:49:39as well as one of India's highest civilian award.
1:49:39 > 1:49:40Well, the BBC said sorry.
1:49:40 > 1:49:41So was that good enough?
1:49:41 > 1:49:44Many viewers got in touch to question how such a mistake
1:49:44 > 1:49:47could be made.
1:49:47 > 1:49:58Nadia Hussain e-mail to say:
1:50:00 > 1:50:03And Art Patel was not impressed either:
1:50:03 > 1:50:06A lot of people who watch Bollywood movies and it's part
1:50:06 > 1:50:09of that cultural history, identity, would find this very upsetting.
1:50:09 > 1:50:13It's not very nice to show another actor who is also a very big part
1:50:13 > 1:50:16of many people's identity and culture to be in the opening
1:50:16 > 1:50:19clip, as opposed to the person who passed away, Shashi Kapoor.
1:50:19 > 1:50:22Shashi Kapoor is completely different, for the BBC not to do
1:50:22 > 1:50:32this distinction right from the off is very inconsiderate.
1:50:32 > 1:50:35The newspaper review on the Andrew Marr Show got rather
1:50:35 > 1:50:37heated last Sunday, leading some viewers to question
1:50:37 > 1:50:42whether Andrew Marr had control over the panel.
1:50:42 > 1:50:44Ukip's former leader Nigel Farage, a former Labour adviser
1:50:44 > 1:50:47and Kate Andrews from the Institute of Economic Affairs
1:50:47 > 1:50:51were on the sofa.
1:50:51 > 1:50:53It now seems the phrase "take back control",
1:50:53 > 1:50:56take back control and give it to the Irish, you know,
1:50:56 > 1:50:57it's such a distraction...
1:50:57 > 1:50:59Well, that's why we're going to talk about...
1:50:59 > 1:51:00OK, guys...
1:51:00 > 1:51:04Brexit is failing because of the government...
1:51:04 > 1:51:09Guys, guys...
1:51:12 > 1:51:15Graham Lee's e-mail to say:
1:51:21 > 1:51:22Phili Taylor commented:
1:51:28 > 1:51:30And Monte Hellman called in:
1:51:30 > 1:51:32Andrew Marr was unable to control them.
1:51:32 > 1:51:34As a licence payer, somebody who just wants information
1:51:34 > 1:51:46and to learn something from these people, this contributes nothing.
1:51:46 > 1:51:48Now, the term fake news may have first been popularised
1:51:48 > 1:51:51by Donald Trump during his presidential election campaign,
1:51:51 > 1:51:54but it's become a major concern, not just because politicians throw
1:51:54 > 1:51:58it at journalism they don't like, but also because of the evidence
1:51:58 > 1:52:00of fake stories created and spread, especially through social media
1:52:00 > 1:52:07platforms, notably in the run-up to the US election.
1:52:07 > 1:52:09But how easy is it just got fake news?
1:52:09 > 1:52:12There has been rapid change in how young people consume news,
1:52:12 > 1:52:15and the BBC has started a scheme to help secondary school
1:52:15 > 1:52:21pupils identify it.
1:52:21 > 1:52:24The BBC's media editor spoke at six formers in Kent.
1:52:24 > 1:52:26How do you consume news everyday?
1:52:26 > 1:52:28I'll be honest, it's mainly through SnapChat.
1:52:28 > 1:52:31Put your hand up if you're on Snapchat.
1:52:31 > 1:52:34To gauge the news literacy, we showed the pupils an image
1:52:34 > 1:52:36that was shown thousands of times on social media.
1:52:36 > 1:52:39It depicts a Muslim woman pictured after the Westminster Bridge terror
1:52:39 > 1:52:41attack.
1:52:41 > 1:52:46Yeah, she seems like she's not caring.
1:52:46 > 1:52:47But this was fake news.
1:52:47 > 1:52:51The image was attached to a tweet from an account linked to Russia,
1:52:51 > 1:52:54and our pupils did detect anti-Muslim prejudice.
1:52:54 > 1:52:58I think if she was of a different race this tweet would never have
1:52:58 > 1:53:01been put out and it's really wrong that people feel the need
1:53:01 > 1:53:04to do that.
1:53:04 > 1:53:07From March, up to 1,000 schools will be offered mentoring in class,
1:53:07 > 1:53:09online or at events by BBC journalists, including
1:53:09 > 1:53:12from the likes of Huw Edwards and the BBC's economic editor
1:53:12 > 1:53:23Kamal Ahmed, and he joins us now.
1:53:23 > 1:53:23Welcome.
1:53:23 > 1:53:26Have you ever been caught out by fake news?
1:53:26 > 1:53:27I don't think so, no.
1:53:27 > 1:53:30Obviously we do our best to make sure we're not.
1:53:30 > 1:53:31I was once almost caught out.
1:53:31 > 1:53:35A Mark Carney Twitter feed started, who's the Governor of the Bank
1:53:35 > 1:53:38of England, and I must admit, for a moment I thought,
1:53:38 > 1:53:40my goodness, the Governor of the Bank of England
1:53:40 > 1:53:42is going to start tweeting.
1:53:42 > 1:53:44That was the only time I thought to myself,
1:53:44 > 1:53:45check yourself, Kamal!
1:53:45 > 1:53:46Is that really believable?
1:53:46 > 1:53:48And I think when you're thinking about fake news,
1:53:48 > 1:53:50that is probably the first thing to do.
1:53:50 > 1:53:52Is what you're seeing really believable?
1:53:52 > 1:53:55And as soon as you've checked, is Mark Carney going to be
1:53:55 > 1:53:57on Twitter anywhere else, everyone was saying,
1:53:57 > 1:54:00well, of course, the Governor of the Bank of England
1:54:00 > 1:54:01couldn't do that.
1:54:01 > 1:54:04So I think it's thinking about the source of the story,
1:54:04 > 1:54:07does it look believable, is it being reported anywhere else?
1:54:07 > 1:54:10And I suppose the responsibility is on us as the BBC to help people
1:54:10 > 1:54:13navigate this new world of news that they live in.
1:54:13 > 1:54:16Well, let's talk about that, because people might say,
1:54:16 > 1:54:19why does the BBC feel it needs to do anything about this?
1:54:19 > 1:54:22I think we do have a role, if the BBC's role, its mission,
1:54:22 > 1:54:26is to educate, inform and entertain, educate is part of what we do,
1:54:26 > 1:54:29and I think it's an important part of the conversation.
1:54:29 > 1:54:32And also I think, Samira, for us, we need to listen as well.
1:54:32 > 1:54:34We need to listen to young people.
1:54:34 > 1:54:36Amol Rajan's piece there was very interesting,
1:54:36 > 1:54:38what people felt about some of the news information
1:54:38 > 1:54:39they were being given.
1:54:39 > 1:54:42So it's a learning exercise for us as well.
1:54:42 > 1:54:45Let's look at a couple of the things you mentioned there.
1:54:45 > 1:54:48We saw Amol going into schools, as you said, what actually
1:54:48 > 1:54:51are people like him and you doing when you do go into them?
1:54:51 > 1:54:55Well, I'm going back to my old school in the New Year in
1:54:55 > 1:54:56London.
1:54:56 > 1:55:01I think what I would love to do, and I think this is what the BBC
1:55:01 > 1:55:04is planning, is just go through some of those stories and talk
1:55:04 > 1:55:06to the young people, the sixth formers and others,
1:55:06 > 1:55:09about what they think about the news coverage and how it works.
1:55:09 > 1:55:12And do they think about, is it fake news?
1:55:12 > 1:55:14Is a deliberately misleading piece of information?
1:55:14 > 1:55:16It's very clear that young audiences, particularly
1:55:16 > 1:55:18in their teens and early 20s, they don't consume traditional
1:55:18 > 1:55:21curated TV news bulletins like we all used to.
1:55:21 > 1:55:23Do BBC editors understand their world enough?
1:55:23 > 1:55:24The BBC certainly does.
1:55:24 > 1:55:27I would not claim myself that we should say, we understand
1:55:27 > 1:55:29the world that young people live in.
1:55:29 > 1:55:31But certainly we have all sorts of content on Facebook
1:55:31 > 1:55:35and on Twitter, on Instagram, we have a piece of our organisation
1:55:35 > 1:55:38called News Labs, which looks at how news is shared and different
1:55:38 > 1:55:43ways on mobile.
1:55:43 > 1:55:46Newsbeat and Newsround, they are on lots of these
1:55:46 > 1:55:50social media outlets.
1:55:50 > 1:55:53In terms of who you send out to spread that message,
1:55:53 > 1:55:56if you don't mind me saying so, apart from Tina Hayley,
1:55:56 > 1:55:59who has worked on Radio One, one might think you're not actually
1:55:59 > 1:56:02of that generation.
1:56:02 > 1:56:05You know, who would be the right people to be sending,
1:56:05 > 1:56:07and is it people like you?
1:56:07 > 1:56:10Well, I think it's young people, but I think it's about showing
1:56:10 > 1:56:13that the BBC takes it seriously at whatever level in this
1:56:13 > 1:56:16organisation you happen to be and whatever age you are.
1:56:16 > 1:56:19I'm certainly no celebrity, and I wouldn't claim that I am,
1:56:19 > 1:56:23but I think I work at the front line for the BBC in economics,
1:56:23 > 1:56:26which lots of young people talk about and are very interested in -
1:56:26 > 1:56:28intergenerational unfairness, inequality, those type of issues
1:56:28 > 1:56:29are issues I cover.
1:56:29 > 1:56:33And I think if I can help people navigate that and also listen
1:56:33 > 1:56:35to that, I think that is of advantage, I hope,
1:56:35 > 1:56:38to them, and it certainly will be to us.
1:56:38 > 1:56:39Kamal Ahmed, thank you.
1:56:39 > 1:56:42The tone of Brexit coverage is a regular issue with
1:56:42 > 1:56:44Newswatch viewers.
1:56:44 > 1:56:46This week, breakfast presenter Charlie Stayt's interview
1:56:46 > 1:56:48with Transport Secretary Chris Grayling about Brexit negotiations
1:56:48 > 1:56:59came in for criticism from several viewers who thought it was hostile.
1:56:59 > 1:57:02If...I'm not sure what your role was today in being sent out
1:57:02 > 1:57:05and doing media interviews, I know you are doing the rounds
1:57:05 > 1:57:08today, this is how this works, but was your job to reassure people
1:57:08 > 1:57:11that things are going well and everything's in hand,
1:57:11 > 1:57:13because I'm not sure that you have done that.
1:57:13 > 1:57:14OK.
1:57:14 > 1:57:18My job is to say to people, look, we are in the middle
1:57:18 > 1:57:20of a negotiation, it's a complex negotiation,
1:57:20 > 1:57:22negotiations have their ups and downs, we are confident
1:57:22 > 1:57:26that we will reach a sensible basis to move to the next stage of talks.
1:57:26 > 1:57:28Surely Charlie Stayt does not expect the Government
1:57:28 > 1:57:32to reveal their strategy on live TV for the world to see,
1:57:32 > 1:57:35and yet he continuously pressed Mr Grayling over and over again,
1:57:35 > 1:57:37becoming increasingly rude and offering his own sarcastic
1:57:37 > 1:57:40responses when he didn't get the answers he was looking for.
1:57:40 > 1:57:43I'm surprised that Mr Grayling did not storm of the set.
1:57:43 > 1:57:46I would like to think that BBC reporters can show some respect
1:57:46 > 1:57:56to their guests.
1:57:56 > 1:58:11Unfortunately it is becoming clear that this is not the case.
1:58:11 > 1:58:14Christine Keeler, who was embroiled in the 1963 Profumo scandal
1:58:14 > 1:58:19when she was a young woman, died this week aged 75.
1:58:19 > 1:58:23At the height of the Cold War, the then teenager was the centre
1:58:23 > 1:58:25of the news media frenzy over her brief relationship
1:58:25 > 1:58:28with a Government minister John Profumo, which shut
1:58:28 > 1:58:30Harold Macmillan's government.
1:58:30 > 1:58:33Jack Wheeler tweeted his discomfort with the language used
1:58:33 > 1:58:35to describe her on news obituaries:
1:58:51 > 1:58:52And that's all from us.
1:58:52 > 1:58:54Thank you for all your comments this week.
1:58:54 > 1:58:58If you would like to share your opinions on BBC News,
1:58:58 > 1:59:00current affairs, or even appear on the programme,
1:59:00 > 1:59:03you can call us on:
1:59:03 > 1:59:07Or e-mail Newswatch@bbc.co.uk.
1:59:07 > 1:59:15You can find us on Twitter and have a look at our website.
1:59:15 > 1:59:16That's all from us.
1:59:16 > 1:59:18We'll be back next week. Goodbye.
2:00:21 > 2:00:22Hello.
2:00:22 > 2:00:25This is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
2:00:25 > 2:00:28Boris Johnson flies to Iran to try to secure the release
2:00:28 > 2:00:29of a jailed British mother.
2:00:29 > 2:00:32The Foreign Secretary is due to arrive there in the next few
2:00:32 > 2:00:34hours and will raise "grave concerns" about Nazanin
2:00:34 > 2:00:43Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who's spent the past 18 months behind bars.
2:00:49 > 2:00:50Good morning.
2:00:50 > 2:00:51It's Saturday 9th December.
2:00:51 > 2:00:53Also this morning:
2:00:53 > 2:00:55A Brexit breakthrough by the Prime Minister,
2:00:55 > 2:00:57but a long journey lies ahead.
2:00:57 > 2:00:59We'll get reaction to yesterday's deal and look at what next
2:00:59 > 2:01:05for Britain's departure from the European Union.
2:01:05 > 2:01:08President Trump declares a state of emergency in California as strong
2:01:08 > 2:01:11winds continue to fan the flames of a series of
2:01:11 > 2:01:17devastating wildfires.
2:01:17 > 2:01:20In sport - another off the field incident for England
2:01:20 > 2:01:21on their Ashes tour.
2:01:21 > 2:01:23It's just been revealed why batsman Ben Duckett was been dropped
2:01:23 > 2:01:25from England's Ashes tour match today -
2:01:25 > 2:01:35it follows an incident in a Perth bar.
2:01:49 > 2:01:55A few snow showers and the potential of some significant snow. Join me
2:01:55 > 2:01:57later for the details.
2:01:57 > 2:01:58Good morning.
2:01:58 > 2:01:59First, our main story.
2:01:59 > 2:02:01The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is due
2:02:01 > 2:02:03to arrive in Iran shortly, where he will express
2:02:03 > 2:02:05what he describes as "grave concerns" over the imprisonment
2:02:05 > 2:02:07of the British-Iranian woman, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
2:02:07 > 2:02:09The aid-worker has been held prisoner in the country since April
2:02:09 > 2:02:122016, accused of trying to overthrow the Iranian government -
2:02:12 > 2:02:13a charge she denies.
2:02:13 > 2:02:15Mr Johnson is also expected to discuss Britain's wider
2:02:15 > 2:02:16relations with Iran.
2:02:16 > 2:02:26Here's our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.
2:02:28 > 2:02:30Boris Johnson's first visit to Iran could hardly be more sensitive.
2:02:30 > 2:02:33Last month he was accused of damaging the case for the release
2:02:33 > 2:02:35of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe by remarks he later apologised for.
2:02:35 > 2:02:38On his way to Tehran to see Iran's Foreign Minister,
2:02:38 > 2:02:48he issued a statement, saying: The Foreign Secretary says
2:02:49 > 2:02:50The Foreign Secretary says
2:02:50 > 2:02:53he will also emphasise the UK's continued support for the nuclear
2:02:53 > 2:03:01deal with Iran, despite its repudiation by President Trump.
2:03:01 > 2:03:04But he will also make clear UK's concerns about some of Iran's
2:03:04 > 2:03:11activities, notably in Syria and Yemen.
2:03:11 > 2:03:12Mr Johnson described the relationship with
2:03:12 > 2:03:13Iran as "improving,
2:03:13 > 2:03:14but not straightforward."
2:03:14 > 2:03:17The Foreign Secretary has been careful to lower any expectations
2:03:17 > 2:03:18of imminent release for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe,
2:03:18 > 2:03:24warning that such cases are very difficult.
2:03:24 > 2:03:25That was our diplomatic correspondent James
2:03:25 > 2:03:31Robbins reporting.
2:03:31 > 2:03:34One of the Cabinet's leading Brexiteers has suggested that voters
2:03:34 > 2:03:37can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal
2:03:37 > 2:03:40with the European Union and to force a future government to change course
2:03:40 > 2:03:41if they don't like it.
2:03:41 > 2:03:44The Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, made the comments in
2:03:44 > 2:03:47an article in The Daily Telegraph, just a day after Theresa May's
2:03:47 > 2:03:49agreement in Brussels cleared the way for trade talks.
2:03:49 > 2:03:51We can speak now to our political correspondent Jonathan Blake.
2:03:51 > 2:03:58Jonathan, what more has Mr Gove said?
2:03:58 > 2:04:04What has Michael Gove said here on white is he talking about the next
2:04:04 > 2:04:09election?It's perhaps a sign of things to come for the Prime
2:04:09 > 2:04:16Minister Theresa May as everyone picks through the details of the 15
2:04:16 > 2:04:21pages of negotiations. He is putting his spin on it. It's significant
2:04:21 > 2:04:24that he is reminding people that nothing is agreed until everything
2:04:24 > 2:04:30is agreed. So come the final deal, everything could unravel. Also, to
2:04:30 > 2:04:37remind everyone that the UK are taking back control. After that two
2:04:37 > 2:04:45year transition, the UK will be in full control. In other words, if you
2:04:45 > 2:04:52don't like it, you can change it. This is perhaps a reminder that
2:04:52 > 2:05:01Theresa May's senior team are yet to agree on what they want the endgame
2:05:01 > 2:05:06to look like. There is less than a year now to agree how the transition
2:05:06 > 2:05:10period will work. After all the hard work to get to this point the Prime
2:05:10 > 2:05:14Minister might well be thinking, that was the easy bit.Thank you.
2:05:14 > 2:05:17We'll talk later.
2:05:17 > 2:05:20Officials in Gaza say four people have died and 160 are injured
2:05:20 > 2:05:27following air strikes on Hamas military positions by Israel.
2:05:27 > 2:05:28The strikes were in retaliation for Palestinian rocket
2:05:28 > 2:05:29attacks on southern Israel.
2:05:29 > 2:05:32Palestinians and Israeli security forces have clashed in the West Bank
2:05:32 > 2:05:33since President Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's
2:05:33 > 2:05:35capital on Wednesday.
2:05:35 > 2:05:37Yesterday, the US Ambassador, Nikki Haley defended Donald Trump's
2:05:37 > 2:05:47comments and accused the UN of bias against Israel.
2:05:47 > 2:05:55The wintry weather looks to continue. More snow is expected over
2:05:55 > 2:06:00the weekend. Freezing conditions caused significant disruption to
2:06:00 > 2:06:03commuters yesterday and many in the West Midlands are still without
2:06:03 > 2:06:04power.
2:06:04 > 2:06:06Some of these reindeer are getting their first taste
2:06:06 > 2:06:07of snow in Dudley.
2:06:07 > 2:06:10And in the early hours, more snowfalls have been reported
2:06:10 > 2:06:13across the UK, although conditions are expect to ease for today.
2:06:13 > 2:06:16At Manchester Airport, wings have had to be de-iced.
2:06:16 > 2:06:19An image some are about to leave behind.
2:06:19 > 2:06:26Shropshire is somewhere in this picture.
2:06:26 > 2:06:28Undeterred.
2:06:28 > 2:06:30On the Isle of Man, the weekend began early,
2:06:30 > 2:06:31as all schools were closed.
2:06:31 > 2:06:37Elsewhere, there have been problems on the roads.
2:06:37 > 2:06:40The extremes of the weather are expected to eventually be
2:06:40 > 2:06:42confined to north-east Scotland, but tomorrow, a spell of heavy snow
2:06:42 > 2:06:45is likely over the Midlands and parts of Wales and northern
2:06:45 > 2:06:55England.
2:06:55 > 2:06:5620 centimetres is quite significant.
2:06:56 > 2:06:59We will press ahead of that, we will salt ahead of that,
2:06:59 > 2:07:02but past 20cm we might have to reduce the network and keep
2:07:02 > 2:07:03key routes open.
2:07:03 > 2:07:06That is much as you can do - 20cm is significant.
2:07:06 > 2:07:10The Met Office is warning that some in the countryside may be cut off -
2:07:10 > 2:07:19if the skies were not convincing enough.
2:07:23 > 2:07:26Firefighters in southern California are continuing to battle
2:07:26 > 2:07:32firefighters. More than 200,000 people are preparing to flee the
2:07:32 > 2:07:41area. President Trump has declared a state of emergency as the fires
2:07:41 > 2:07:54continue to spread. More from the ashes and another player has been
2:07:54 > 2:08:00dropped after a reported incident in a bar in Perth.We had the Johnny
2:08:00 > 2:08:05Bairstow incident in a bar in Perth. A curfew was placed on players,
2:08:05 > 2:08:09meaning they needed to be back at midnight. That was lifted on
2:08:09 > 2:08:15Thursday. The players went out and deja vu, there was an incident in a
2:08:15 > 2:08:21bar in Perth again, this time involving Ben buckets, who is 23 and
2:08:21 > 2:08:28plays have a back-up Lions squad. He had been named in this team today to
2:08:28 > 2:08:35lay a Cricket Australia 11 where players can stake their claim for
2:08:35 > 2:08:40placing the squad next week. However, he has been dropped and now
2:08:40 > 2:08:46we know why. No police were involved, no members of the public
2:08:46 > 2:08:52were involved, but the England team's security was present. You can
2:08:52 > 2:08:59deduce from that what you will. We don't know the details, but we do
2:08:59 > 2:09:04know that Trevor Bayliss will be furious. After the Johnny Bairstow
2:09:04 > 2:09:08incident he said that players needed to be smart when they were out on
2:09:08 > 2:09:16tour.Thank you. More details later on.
2:09:16 > 2:09:19Let's return to Brexit and Theresa May's meeting with EU
2:09:19 > 2:09:20officials in Brussels yesterday dominates the front
2:09:20 > 2:09:21pages this morning.
2:09:21 > 2:09:25The Mail says "Rejoice, We're on our way!"
2:09:25 > 2:09:27With a picture of what it describes as a "historic handshake"
2:09:27 > 2:09:31between the Prime Minister and Jean Claude Junker.
2:09:31 > 2:09:37The Telegraph sets out the key points from yesterday's agreement.
2:09:37 > 2:09:39While the Mirror calls the Prime Minister "Mrs Softee"
2:09:39 > 2:09:43claiming she "abandoned her red lines to break the deadlock."
2:09:43 > 2:09:46The Irish Times also leads with the story saying the Ireland
2:09:46 > 2:09:51has a commitment of no hard border with the North even if the UK
2:09:51 > 2:09:54leaves without a deal.
2:09:54 > 2:09:56We're joined now by Tim Martin, who's the Chairman of JD Wetherspoon
2:09:56 > 2:10:06and was a prominent supporter of the Leave campaign.
2:10:08 > 2:10:11Good morning. If you had a headline for your sentiments, this time
2:10:11 > 2:10:17yesterday morning as you heard the news, what would it have been? It
2:10:17 > 2:10:23would have been, my goodness me, it's going to take a few weeks or
2:10:23 > 2:10:26months to interpret this ambiguous agreement which probably means they
2:10:26 > 2:10:29can just get on with other negotiations. I suppose it's good
2:10:29 > 2:10:32that you can get on with other negotiations and it's good what they
2:10:32 > 2:10:38have done regarding immigration and the border in Ireland. For myself,
2:10:38 > 2:10:43for the UK we are better off without a deal at the moment as things stand
2:10:43 > 2:10:51because then in March 2019, we can see is to pay £200 million a week to
2:10:51 > 2:11:00the EU and also, we can eliminate and the green-macro EU tariffs on
2:11:00 > 2:11:04food that comes from outside of the EU. The effect of that, contrary to
2:11:04 > 2:11:10what a lot of people have said, is that food prices will fall. Lower
2:11:10 > 2:11:16food prices and £200 million a week extra. The BBC One a story this week
2:11:16 > 2:11:20or last week in which it said there were 7000 people below the poverty
2:11:20 > 2:11:28level. That £200 million would give them £300 each.You could sit here
2:11:28 > 2:11:33and campaign if you want, but I suppose the thing is that we are in
2:11:33 > 2:11:37the negotiations. We are getting there. You say you don't want to
2:11:37 > 2:11:43deal, but negotiations are happening. As a business owner and
2:11:43 > 2:11:51an employer of how many people? 37,000 people.What are your
2:11:51 > 2:11:57employees said they are most concerned about?Our employees are
2:11:57 > 2:12:01like the country and the country is watching all this. They have a
2:12:01 > 2:12:07different approach. I think a lot of people feel it is being dragged out,
2:12:07 > 2:12:15it is fudged. There was a two-year transitional deal which means we
2:12:15 > 2:12:19would not leave until five years in effect after the referendum. I think
2:12:19 > 2:12:29it has been turned into a model. -- a model. I think that that is what
2:12:29 > 2:12:33the general population feels. You asked me about my view earlier and I
2:12:33 > 2:12:39have a particular view about it.The catering industry relies a lock on
2:12:39 > 2:12:48temporary workers, but also EU workers.Does that apply to your
2:12:48 > 2:12:55pups?It does, to an extent. Those people that work for you, do they
2:12:55 > 2:13:18feel any more secure than they did before this?The government could
2:13:18 > 2:13:28not say that everyone had to leave. It's good to clarify it, but there
2:13:28 > 2:13:39was no situation where any single MP said, you would have to go back.How
2:13:39 > 2:13:54were you positioning yourself? What's the long-term view? The
2:13:54 > 2:14:06long-term view for our business is that it will be better off if we
2:14:06 > 2:14:18stop paying money to the EU and it can be used in the UK and we can
2:14:18 > 2:14:25eliminate the importance on food and drink. We sell a lot of Australian
2:14:25 > 2:14:34wine. When we leave, the import tax will be eliminated.On the issue of
2:14:34 > 2:14:43the trade deal, a moment ago you said, I think you said you were in
2:14:43 > 2:14:52the favour of no deal, which was the best option. Because of the
2:14:52 > 2:14:57difficulties regarding the border in Ireland, details emerged yesterday
2:14:57 > 2:15:06is that if there is no border, there will be regulatory equivalence. That
2:15:06 > 2:15:11would apply across the whole of the UK which would mean in effect they
2:15:11 > 2:15:17are still working within European guidelines. That is officially the
2:15:17 > 2:15:21backstop position. So you're all opposition means in fact we will
2:15:21 > 2:15:28stay effectively within the single market.What you are saying is that
2:15:28 > 2:15:34no deal means that there is a deal between Ireland and the UK...It's
2:15:34 > 2:15:40not what I am saying, it is what happened yesterday.I don't think it
2:15:40 > 2:15:44is a sensible interpretation of events. One of the government
2:15:44 > 2:15:48ministers has written this morning that there was no deal until
2:15:48 > 2:15:52everything is agreed. You can't say there is is overriding factor for
2:15:52 > 2:16:04Ireland. Also with Ireland, the primary legislation, the Good Friday
2:16:04 > 2:16:07Agreement, it's not good to go on TV and say, this is what is happening
2:16:07 > 2:16:12with the border and it's been agreed with the Prime Minister of Ireland
2:16:12 > 2:16:17and Theresa May. The Good Friday Agreement is primary and the
2:16:17 > 2:16:25interpretation of that requires very careful analysis.Someone running a
2:16:25 > 2:16:28business in the UK, in this environment is it stable enough for
2:16:28 > 2:16:33you to make plans for expansion? Yes, it definitely is stable enough
2:16:33 > 2:16:40I think things have been overplayed, particularly by the CBI and the
2:16:40 > 2:16:44directors of big businesses. They've tried to put the final is on the
2:16:44 > 2:16:57public and put the frighteners on MPs. Most of your audience and the
2:16:57 > 2:17:02MPs, they've been told that the prices will go up. That is not true.
2:17:02 > 2:17:07There was a lot of disinformation. We want a decent deal and we want to
2:17:07 > 2:17:12get on with the Europeans. Nothing against them individually, but I am
2:17:12 > 2:17:16worried about the disinformation which is inclined to make us do a
2:17:16 > 2:17:19bad deal.Thank you for coming to see this morning. Disinformation
2:17:19 > 2:17:24works both ways people will immediately contest some of the
2:17:24 > 2:17:29things you are claiming as well, but that is the point. It's called
2:17:29 > 2:17:35democracy. Thank you.
2:17:35 > 2:17:51Here's Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
2:17:59 > 2:18:03Shropshire saw a lot of disruptive snow yesterday. A couple of inches
2:18:03 > 2:18:09at least. There will be trouble where you had snow yesterday, watch
2:18:09 > 2:18:21out for the ISAs well. Most of the snow across Scotland and Ireland.
2:18:21 > 2:18:26Most of the country though it will be dry and find with lots of crisp
2:18:26 > 2:18:36winter sunshine. Tonight, temperatures fall away as you can
2:18:36 > 2:18:45see rapidly. This band of rain pushes into the south-west and is it
2:18:45 > 2:18:49bumps into the cold air across the Midlands and Wales, it will turn to
2:18:49 > 2:18:57heavy snow. By Sunday morning you could be looking at up to 20
2:18:57 > 2:19:04centimetres -- up to ten centimetres. The Met office has an
2:19:04 > 2:19:15amber warning. The advice is not to make any journeys unless you have
2:19:15 > 2:19:21too. Along with that our gale force winds. Southern counties will be
2:19:21 > 2:19:31particularly affected. The area of low pressure moves away and into
2:19:31 > 2:19:45Monday we look to the south. There will be a storm over most of France.
2:19:45 > 2:19:52There will be strong winds across the South with good spells of
2:19:52 > 2:19:57sunshine. It will feel cold because of the wind. Tuesday, low pressure
2:19:57 > 2:20:00moves away and then it is quieter for many central and southern areas
2:20:00 > 2:20:08with a frosty start and plenty of sunshine. It will be called for the
2:20:08 > 2:20:16rest of the week. Thank you.
2:20:16 > 2:20:19It's been billed as the "Live Aid of Homelessness" -
2:20:19 > 2:20:21around 9000 people are expected to sleep out in Edinburgh tonight
2:20:21 > 2:20:23to highlight the issue of living on the streets.
2:20:23 > 2:20:26Liam Gallagher, Deacon Blue and Sir Bob Geldof are all due
2:20:26 > 2:20:28to take part in the event.
2:20:28 > 2:20:30Let's find out more from the organiser of "Sleep
2:20:30 > 2:20:32in the Park", Josh Littlejohn, who also co-founded the homeless
2:20:32 > 2:20:34charity, Social Bite.
2:20:34 > 2:20:40Thank you for talking to us this morning. Good morning. What is
2:20:40 > 2:20:44behind this ideal of Sleep In The Park?We wanted to bring a mass
2:20:44 > 2:20:51movement of people here to come and sleep out and experience sleeping
2:20:51 > 2:20:56out in a cold winter 's night for one night. We have about 8000 people
2:20:56 > 2:21:02coming to the centre of Edinburgh. There will be the concept and some
2:21:02 > 2:21:07powerful content about the cause. And about 11 o'clock, people will
2:21:07 > 2:21:12bed down.
2:21:20 > 2:21:25Hopefully we will raise a lot of money, in the region of three to £4
2:21:25 > 2:21:30million.You have managed to get some really high profile people, or
2:21:30 > 2:21:39people with high profiles to help you out. It has been dubbed the
2:21:39 > 2:21:44Scottish Live Aid. How have you managed to get them to help?We have
2:21:44 > 2:21:51been on the news and some Hollywood people have come over. George
2:21:51 > 2:21:55Clooney came over and have a sandwich in one of our shots.
2:21:55 > 2:22:06Leonardo DiCaprio also came over. We just started approaching people.
2:22:06 > 2:22:10I've met Bob Geldof five years ago. We approached him. We brought it up
2:22:10 > 2:22:16one by one and try to put together something to build the excitement of
2:22:16 > 2:22:24the event. Because of the prospect of sleeping out in the cold,
2:22:24 > 2:22:31particularly with the forecast, we are not cutting through to
2:22:31 > 2:22:37particular music bands, people are coming for the cause, but it adds to
2:22:37 > 2:22:42the excitement having them here.We are seeing pictures now of homeless
2:22:42 > 2:22:47people on the streets, sleeping, asking for money. Social problems
2:22:47 > 2:22:57that lead to homelessness, what is the attitude you feel towards
2:22:57 > 2:23:01homelessness?If you speak to homeless people, we work with people
2:23:01 > 2:23:05every day and we have done for over five years, one of the worst that
2:23:05 > 2:23:09often comes up is that they feel invisible and I think that is the
2:23:09 > 2:23:14case. We kind of look through them and not at them. One of the things
2:23:14 > 2:23:19we learned when we started meeting homeless people and employing them
2:23:19 > 2:23:23and distributing free food, we started asking stories of how they
2:23:23 > 2:23:28became homeless. What was eerie is that they almost all had the same
2:23:28 > 2:23:35story. They were dealt horrific cards when they came into the world,
2:23:35 > 2:23:39terrible childhoods. They were then failed by the system and became
2:23:39 > 2:23:46homeless in the late teenage years. It's not a product of individual
2:23:46 > 2:23:50decision-making, it's a product of structures in the systems we create.
2:23:50 > 2:23:54You have more compassion for people when they end up in that situation.
2:23:54 > 2:24:01It's a cruel well for them. They are shunned a marginalised by society.
2:24:01 > 2:24:07One of the big intentions behind this event is to make it impossible
2:24:07 > 2:24:11to ignore them.Thank you for talking to us and good luck with
2:24:11 > 2:24:13Sleep In The Park the night.
2:24:13 > 2:24:14You're watching Breakfast.
2:24:14 > 2:24:19Time now for a look at the newspapers.
2:24:19 > 2:24:29The broadcaster Ian Collins is here to tell us what's caught his eye.
2:24:32 > 2:24:39I was the cold for you? It is very cold. Out on the canal the people
2:24:39 > 2:24:48are in canoes.What are you going to start us with?Cash points? This is
2:24:48 > 2:25:02great news. If you have stored behind someone -- if you have stood
2:25:02 > 2:25:07behind someone who does not know how to use a cash machine, you'll know
2:25:07 > 2:25:15what I mean. Four of the biggest banks are ditching 37 cash machines
2:25:15 > 2:25:21every week. From a safety perspective, if you come across a
2:25:21 > 2:25:25cash machine that is down an alley late at night, we are all looking
2:25:25 > 2:25:30over our shoulder.If you are of a certain age, you will remember a
2:25:30 > 2:25:39time before cash machines.I don't really. Do you remember a time
2:25:39 > 2:25:44before money?You used to have to get money out of the bank and the
2:25:44 > 2:25:49cash machine changed all that. Maybe it is odd to think about it if you
2:25:49 > 2:25:55are used to it, but it changed everything.They were invented by
2:25:55 > 2:26:01Brits, as Scottish inventor. People full that if anyone was going to
2:26:01 > 2:26:08invent a way to get money out of the wall, it would be an American.1967,
2:26:08 > 2:26:13the first cash machine was in Enfield.Do you remember who the
2:26:13 > 2:26:22first person was to use it? Was it the Queen? No, it was Reg Varney,
2:26:22 > 2:26:30soss the 1970s sitcom star. I only know it because I wrote about it. He
2:26:30 > 2:26:38was the first man to use the cash machine.It would have been
2:26:38 > 2:26:47interesting if they put a cash machine on a bus.They did not think
2:26:47 > 2:26:55it through.Now, commuters really don't understand how we are seeing
2:26:55 > 2:27:01higher rail fares compared to the rest of Europe.I have done so many
2:27:01 > 2:27:08interviews with various characters in this role story, from transport
2:27:08 > 2:27:11ministers to computer representatives -- commuter
2:27:11 > 2:27:17representatives, and no one can pinpoint why it is so expensive to
2:27:17 > 2:27:24travel in this country. If you want to talk about social mobility, it is
2:27:24 > 2:27:28key to oversee getting the country moving in the right direction.
2:27:28 > 2:27:32Trying to get a train from one part of the country to another can cost
2:27:32 > 2:27:36you the equivalent of a weak puzzler wages.And they are going up again
2:27:36 > 2:27:57the New Year.They are going up again. -- a week's wages. Latvian
2:27:57 > 2:28:06trains, 5p to every 50p spent here. If you look at the Prophet Bates,
2:28:06 > 2:28:14it's only a tiny bit.They have also look further, and this is what is
2:28:14 > 2:28:18complicated, at the single fare. Often, if you buy a single fare,
2:28:18 > 2:28:24they have looked at the Oxford single fair-haired, £24 90. The
2:28:24 > 2:28:31return is only 10p more. If you look at it on return tickets, we would
2:28:31 > 2:28:37not be as expensive.That's true, but it's still incredibly expensive.
2:28:37 > 2:28:47You choose.What's your last story? Texting. Using the'.Does anyone
2:28:47 > 2:28:54really use them properly? I do. I get annoyed with my phone if it
2:28:54 > 2:29:02gives me the option of an apostrophe in the wrong place.But are you a
2:29:02 > 2:29:11member of the apostrophe protection Society? I might join. They exist.
2:29:11 > 2:29:17Along with the guy who used to go around correcting signs with
2:29:17 > 2:29:24apostrophes in the wrong place, undergraduates were being tested on
2:29:24 > 2:29:36apostrophes and they got it wrong, particularly the S'. The possessive
2:29:36 > 2:29:41plural. That's right. 72% of undergraduates did not know what to
2:29:41 > 2:29:52do with it. Hopeless.Loving the cashpoint information we had this
2:29:52 > 2:30:02morning. Put the apostrophe in there as well.
2:30:02 > 2:30:11Stay with us, headlines coming up.
2:30:29 > 2:30:31Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
2:30:31 > 2:30:33Coming up before nine, Stav has the weather.
2:30:33 > 2:30:37But first, a summary of this morning's main news.
2:30:37 > 2:30:39The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is due to arrive
2:30:39 > 2:30:41in Iran in the next few hours, where he's expected
2:30:41 > 2:30:44to press for the release of the British-Iranian woman,
2:30:44 > 2:30:51Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
2:30:51 > 2:30:54The aid-worker has been held prisoner in the country
2:30:54 > 2:30:54since April 2016.
2:30:54 > 2:30:57She's accused of trying to overthrow the Iranian government -
2:30:57 > 2:30:58a charge she denies.
2:30:58 > 2:31:00It's expected Mr Johnson will also discuss Britain's wider
2:31:00 > 2:31:02relations with Iran.
2:31:02 > 2:31:05One of the Cabinet's leading Brexiteers has suggested that voters
2:31:05 > 2:31:08can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal
2:31:08 > 2:31:11with the European Union - and to force a future government
2:31:11 > 2:31:15to change course if they don't like it.
2:31:15 > 2:31:17The Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, makes his comments
2:31:17 > 2:31:24in The Daily Telegraph, a day after Theresa May's
2:31:24 > 2:31:27The Cabinet is expected to meet in the next fortnight to discuss
2:31:27 > 2:31:28Britain's future relationship with the EU.
2:31:28 > 2:31:31Officials in Gaza say four people have died and 160 are injured
2:31:31 > 2:31:33following air strikes on Hamas military positions by
2:31:33 > 2:31:36Israel in the Gaza Strip.
2:31:36 > 2:31:38The strikes were in retaliation for Palestinian rocket
2:31:38 > 2:31:43attacks on southern Israel.
2:31:43 > 2:31:46Palestinians and Israeli security forces have clashed in the West Bank
2:31:46 > 2:31:47since President Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's
2:31:47 > 2:31:48capital on Wednesday.
2:31:48 > 2:31:51Yesterday, the US Ambassador, Nikki Haley, defended Donald Trump's
2:31:51 > 2:31:58comments and accused the UN of bias against Israel.
2:31:58 > 2:32:01The wintry weather looks set to continue with Met Office warnings
2:32:01 > 2:32:03in place for large parts of the UK.
2:32:03 > 2:32:05More snow and freezing temperatures are forecast for northern
2:32:05 > 2:32:06and eastern regions into tomorrow.
2:32:06 > 2:32:08Yesterday, commuters faced problems on the roads and railways
2:32:08 > 2:32:18and hundreds of properties remain without power in the West Midlands.
2:32:21 > 2:32:23We'll have a weather forecast and a few minutes.
2:32:23 > 2:32:25Firefighters in southern California are continuing to battle wildfires,
2:32:25 > 2:32:29which have destroyed hundreds of homes.
2:32:29 > 2:32:32More than 200,000 people have already fled the area and many more
2:32:32 > 2:32:33are preparing to evacuate.
2:32:33 > 2:32:36President Trump has declared a state of emergency as the fires
2:32:36 > 2:32:38continue to spread.
2:32:38 > 2:32:43One other story we are focusing on that has happened just in the last
2:32:43 > 2:32:52couple of hours, we've had news of a cricket incident.
2:32:52 > 2:32:58Ben Duckett is part of the back-up squad for the Lions in Perth, he was
2:32:58 > 2:33:02dropped for the third test against Australia, we found out this morning
2:33:02 > 2:33:06that because he has been suspended pending to an investigation into an
2:33:06 > 2:33:09incident in a bar in Perth on Thursday night. Is that things any
2:33:09 > 2:33:15better, because in a bar in a Perth was where Jonny Bairstow was
2:33:15 > 2:33:18involved, and a curfew was imposed, that was lifted just before this
2:33:18 > 2:33:26latest incident. Now police are now members of the public were involved.
2:33:26 > 2:33:32Very scant details. -- no release or public. Andy in Perth. What do we
2:33:32 > 2:33:39know?Just when England thought the disciplinary problems were over,
2:33:39 > 2:33:43this happened. Ben Duckett as you say is training with England Lions
2:33:43 > 2:33:48squad here in Perth, that is effectively England's second-tier
2:33:48 > 2:33:52squad. He was expected to play for their warm up match against a
2:33:52 > 2:33:56Cricket Australia 11, but he was replaced at relatively short notice,
2:33:56 > 2:34:01we wondered why and because he faces an ECB enquiry into an incident in a
2:34:01 > 2:34:08bar in Perth on Thursday night. It is understood he was in the bar with
2:34:08 > 2:34:12players including members of the test squad. We don't have details of
2:34:12 > 2:34:15the incident itself but we understand the police weren't
2:34:15 > 2:34:20involved and now members of the public were involved but he has been
2:34:20 > 2:34:28suspended -- no members of the police. This will raise questions
2:34:28 > 2:34:31about the behaviour of the players because staggeringly, this incident
2:34:31 > 2:34:34happened on the first night that the players were really allowed out
2:34:34 > 2:34:41after a midnight curfew had been lifted. That curfew was originally
2:34:41 > 2:34:47imposed after Jonny Bairstow was involved in an incident in Perth
2:34:47 > 2:34:51last month. There is the ongoing issue of Ben Stokes who is waiting
2:34:51 > 2:34:57to find out if he faces any charges in an incident in Bristol in
2:34:57 > 2:35:01September. This sort of disciplinary destruction after everything that's
2:35:01 > 2:35:05happened with England, is the last thing they need now.Later we will
2:35:05 > 2:35:08find that the reaction of those Trevor Bayliss who said after the
2:35:08 > 2:35:15Jonny Bairstow incident that he was furious that England players need to
2:35:15 > 2:35:20be Sparta, that is why had they imposed a curfew.You imagine he
2:35:20 > 2:35:28will be apoplectic about this. I was at conference and he said players
2:35:28 > 2:35:31would have to be stupid to do something else after what has
2:35:31 > 2:35:34happened so far. Well something else have happened. Quite how England
2:35:34 > 2:35:38deal with this, they originally had this midnight curfew, they lifted it
2:35:38 > 2:35:42for the first night after lifting it, this happen so where do they go
2:35:42 > 2:35:46from here? Yet more turmoil for an England team who lets not forget,
2:35:46 > 2:35:52our 2-0 down in this Ashes Series and going into an match that they
2:35:52 > 2:35:55need to windy if they want to keep their hopes alive.This is about
2:35:55 > 2:36:05turning round form.
2:36:06 > 2:36:08On the pitch, opener Keaton Jennings, has made a case
2:36:08 > 2:36:11for picking him next week, by scoring 80, and so too has
2:36:11 > 2:36:14Tom Curran , not out 73 and he's helped edge England into a good
2:36:14 > 2:36:16position in this two day match, batting
2:36:16 > 2:36:20first they are 313-8.
2:36:20 > 2:36:23All eyes on Manchester and Merseyside tomorrow for the derbies
2:36:23 > 2:36:28but this lunchtime it is East versus west London. West Ham versus
2:36:28 > 2:36:32Chelsea. The hammers are in the bottom three and looking for first
2:36:32 > 2:36:35win under David Moyes but despite their position, he thinks he is
2:36:35 > 2:36:39starting to make his mark on his new squad.
2:36:39 > 2:36:42I didn't want to get too carried away but I have to say the players
2:36:42 > 2:36:47have got really good. They have tried to take on board everything
2:36:47 > 2:36:52with asked of them. They are doing the work and right from the start, I
2:36:52 > 2:36:58said they will have to do the work if they want to play. Hopefully they
2:36:58 > 2:37:04are all doing that.
2:37:04 > 2:37:09Dan's here to tell us what's on Football Focus this morning.
2:37:09 > 2:37:15There is a statistic decorated. One seventh of the world's population,
2:37:15 > 2:37:18an estimated 17, will be keeping an eye on the Manchester derby.I'd say
2:37:18 > 2:37:23it's estimated. The way they do it is the Premier League is beamed into
2:37:23 > 2:37:27just over 1 billion homes around the world. There's a potential audience
2:37:27 > 2:37:32of 1 billion. I did some digging yesterday because I've questioned
2:37:32 > 2:37:41myself. The most watched television event ever, you have to get China on
2:37:41 > 2:37:46board, is still the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008. Only 5 million
2:37:46 > 2:37:50people watched in this country but around Manhattan 84 million watched
2:37:50 > 2:37:58around the world, and another 16 million or so is watched.Is this
2:37:58 > 2:38:02considered as big as the opening of the Beijing Olympics?It is massive
2:38:02 > 2:38:06around the world, it gives you an indication as to why players can
2:38:06 > 2:38:13demand such use wages. Backpedalling?Let's talk about
2:38:13 > 2:38:22football focus. Weekly watched by 19 billion people.They are beaming you
2:38:22 > 2:38:28into Mars!That's a guess. You mentioned the derbies, we have the
2:38:28 > 2:38:32Manchester derby and also the Merseyside derby. I have an
2:38:32 > 2:38:34interview with Gylfi Sigurdsson, Everton are taking on a Liverpool
2:38:34 > 2:38:39side who scored seven in midweek, the new manager Sam Allardyce,
2:38:39 > 2:38:43back-to-back wins, not conceding goals, Gylfi Sigurdsson says big Sam
2:38:43 > 2:38:48has made a difference.Let's have a look. After a couple of wins, it's
2:38:48 > 2:38:53more confidence in the team, more positivity around the players. It's
2:38:53 > 2:38:59an deep right track.Do you think it was the moving the uncertainty
2:38:59 > 2:39:01around the managerial situation? It's difficult to say what exactly
2:39:01 > 2:39:06it is. But it does tend to happen when you get someone in and
2:39:06 > 2:39:09something happens, there's a little bit of a spark. For us as players,
2:39:09 > 2:39:14it's quite simple. We know when our next game is and we are doing our
2:39:14 > 2:39:20best to to prepare for it. It would be an easy excuse to use that but
2:39:20 > 2:39:26it's nice that it is sorted now. And we know where the club is going.
2:39:26 > 2:39:31We have a north London derby in the studio, Jermaine Jenas and Martin
2:39:31 > 2:39:37Keown. There's an interview with Andre Gray, Watford go back to his
2:39:37 > 2:39:46old club only. -- Burnley.Roy Hodgson is also talking about openly
2:39:46 > 2:39:50and honestly with England at the last year rose. And getting Palace
2:39:50 > 2:39:56safe in the division. They lost their first seven games of the
2:39:56 > 2:40:00season. Harry Kewell, my club are Crawley town, has not done this
2:40:00 > 2:40:11all-time, but he is talking to us. He's the first Australian to in the
2:40:11 > 2:40:15Premier League. We have Premier League predictions. He's a big
2:40:15 > 2:40:25Fulham fan.Full of all sorts of interesting facts I imagine. Does he
2:40:25 > 2:40:29know he's going to win the World Cup?Probably, yes. I imagine he's
2:40:29 > 2:40:34got it down to one or two. If you say Germany, Spain or Brazil, you're
2:40:34 > 2:40:38probably right.We'll talk championship. Do any of you followed
2:40:38 > 2:40:43Bristol city on Twitter, I do because their celebrations when they
2:40:43 > 2:40:49tweet are hilarious. Adrian Flynn stars this thing with his jacket. He
2:40:49 > 2:40:53scored a last-minute winner for Bristol city against Sheffield
2:40:53 > 2:41:02United, a 2-1 win. The celebration is on twitter.What does he do with
2:41:02 > 2:41:08his jacket?A bit like that.Does he really do that?That's a bad
2:41:08 > 2:41:16impression.What was that bit.He flicks his jacket. Have you seen it?
2:41:16 > 2:41:20Whenever they score, they put the little goal celebrations on twitter.
2:41:20 > 2:41:25You will on and off camera. You need to watch it.His face is good as
2:41:25 > 2:41:35well.
2:41:36 > 2:41:40Aberdeen won against an deep, moving them into second place in the
2:41:40 > 2:41:45Scottish premiership is a three points above Rangers. Glasgow are
2:41:45 > 2:41:54out of the European rugby Champions Cup. The French side opened with a
2:41:54 > 2:42:00brilliant try. Glasgow did lead 17-5 at one point but ended up losing
2:42:00 > 2:42:0529-22. Northampton versus Leicester, Munster and Bath are all in action.
2:42:05 > 2:42:14A bright outlook for Ronnie Ronnie O'Sullivan. He will play Stephen
2:42:14 > 2:42:19Maguire in the semifinals and Shaun Murphy will play Ryan Day. Whatever
2:42:19 > 2:42:25happens, Sullivan's match, he doesn't feel like you can lose.
2:42:25 > 2:42:34Lizzie Arnold be the first British athlete to try and retain her title.
2:42:34 > 2:42:40She won gold in Sochi but yesterday, falling snow hampered her and she
2:42:40 > 2:42:45finished 13th at the latest World Cup event in Germany. What can you
2:42:45 > 2:42:52do in a snowstorm? She greeted Gillingham are going to
2:42:55 > 2:43:06early she did not say what you do with a cup of tea bustle. -- with
2:43:06 > 2:43:10Bushell.Thank you Mike.
2:43:10 > 2:43:13Truancy is a problem facing many schools but why do children
2:43:13 > 2:43:14choose to skip classes?
2:43:14 > 2:43:16According to the most recent statistics from the Department
2:43:16 > 2:43:18for Education, illness is the main reason why pupils fail
2:43:18 > 2:43:19to attend lessons.
2:43:19 > 2:43:21But with unauthorised absenses increasing across the UK,
2:43:21 > 2:43:24it seems sickness is not the only thing keeping pupils away.
2:43:24 > 2:43:27We'll discuss this in a moment, but first let's hear from some
2:43:27 > 2:43:29children who have been speaking to the BBC Stories team
2:43:29 > 2:43:33about why they skip lessons.
2:44:02 > 2:44:05I wouldn't go in one day because I couldn't be bothered.
2:44:05 > 2:44:06Every week?
2:44:06 > 2:44:07Yeah.
2:44:07 > 2:44:08School's dead.
2:44:08 > 2:44:10Nothing to do, it's the same lessons every day.
2:44:10 > 2:44:13You'd go in and you'd feel that people are staring
2:44:13 > 2:44:21at you and you'd start feeling dead panicking yourself.
2:44:21 > 2:44:24Back in the day, I used to be dead scared and stuff of people.
2:44:24 > 2:44:26I was getting tests for dyslexia, that knocks your confidence.
2:44:26 > 2:44:29Go home, play PlayStation, Xbox and when my mum comes home,
2:44:29 > 2:44:32get in my school clothes and tell her I went to school.
2:44:32 > 2:44:34I used to watch telly all day.
2:44:34 > 2:44:36It's the worst thing I've ever done.
2:44:36 > 2:44:38What would have helped to keep school in these days?
2:44:38 > 2:44:40More help with my work.
2:44:40 > 2:44:43And help in building my confidence up.
2:44:43 > 2:44:46Maybe put us on more trips, don't make the lesson dead,
2:44:46 > 2:44:51put some effort into the work.
2:44:51 > 2:44:54In some schools, they pay something to go into school,
2:44:54 > 2:44:59that would have been better.
2:44:59 > 2:45:02Now that we've got confidence to go to colleges, we wish
2:45:02 > 2:45:04we could go back and start all over again.
2:45:04 > 2:45:05Go to school, get your education.
2:45:05 > 2:45:06And get your head down.
2:45:06 > 2:45:09Don't let your confidence get you down, get your head
2:45:09 > 2:45:10up and just go for it!
2:45:10 > 2:45:13Work as hard as you can, make as much money as you can,
2:45:13 > 2:45:17get a job and you'll have a good life.
2:45:17 > 2:45:22We're joined now by Michelle Gleeson - the Safeguarding Lead
2:45:22 > 2:45:25at Harrop Fold School in Salford - who you may know better as Miss Kay
2:45:25 > 2:45:28in the Channel 4 documentary series Educating Greater Manchester.
2:45:28 > 2:45:35Good morning. Hearing some children's reflecting on what they
2:45:35 > 2:45:38are told to do and how they are supposed to think about school, and
2:45:38 > 2:45:46they are not enamoured. Tell us about your role and how it is linked
2:45:46 > 2:45:50to truancy and what you are aiming to achieve.We are quite unique, we
2:45:50 > 2:45:55have a non-teaching team called the student development team, solely for
2:45:55 > 2:45:58the students, the families, the community and we go out a lot,
2:45:58 > 2:46:01dealing with families, doing home visits, and we have a different
2:46:01 > 2:46:06relationship with the students, we are not teachers, it's you as a
2:46:06 > 2:46:12person, not the grades. We see people as individual people.You
2:46:12 > 2:46:18need to sell school to them?We do. How do you do that?We heard get
2:46:18 > 2:46:23good grades, get to school, get a job, have a decent life, there are
2:46:23 > 2:46:27some people who don't want to fit into that model, how do you sell
2:46:27 > 2:46:31school to them?One size does not fit all. We realise that the teams
2:46:31 > 2:46:34we have different aspects, we have a school counsellor who deals with
2:46:34 > 2:46:38children with mental health issues, there is a difference between
2:46:38 > 2:46:41children who can't be bothered to come to school and children who
2:46:41 > 2:46:44physically can't because they have mental health issues, we recognise
2:46:44 > 2:46:49that in our students.How often are truancy issues nothing to do with
2:46:49 > 2:46:54the school itself? These are things that, events that are happen in a
2:46:54 > 2:46:57domestic environment, how often is that the reason that the children
2:46:57 > 2:47:03are not turning up?That's a high percentage. What happens at home
2:47:03 > 2:47:06definitely affects, but some children do not like school. It's
2:47:06 > 2:47:12not everybody but the law says you have come.If you have some kind of
2:47:12 > 2:47:16problem at home which is causing instability, whatever that might be,
2:47:16 > 2:47:22how easy is it for you to go into that environment and try and
2:47:22 > 2:47:29encourage some kind of change? If you've already got a problem, with
2:47:29 > 2:47:33the environment, the big step is getting into the environment to
2:47:33 > 2:47:36help? The challenges building relationships, not only with you as
2:47:36 > 2:47:39a person but the parents as well. Making them know we are there for
2:47:39 > 2:47:45them. Signposting to other agencies, who can help you, do come into
2:47:45 > 2:47:49school? If you have to go to the bank in the morning to get money for
2:47:49 > 2:47:53your mum or two take your brother and sister to school, or wearing for
2:47:53 > 2:47:56trainers and people are telling you after you are not ready for
2:47:56 > 2:48:00learning. You need to be ready for learning as a whole person and so we
2:48:00 > 2:48:05do that when kids cannot learn.It is interesting you'll roll, we will
2:48:05 > 2:48:05show a clip.
2:48:05 > 2:48:08Sometimes you've actually picked the kids up at their homes
2:48:08 > 2:48:09and driven them into school.
2:48:09 > 2:48:12We've got a clip here.
2:48:12 > 2:48:20To the end.Turn left. I get mixed up left and right.Daddy had
2:48:20 > 2:48:23breakfast?Yes.
2:48:24 > 2:48:30-- have you had breakfast? Share my breakfast if you like, I will let
2:48:30 > 2:48:40you.It's 8am on Wednesday morning. The student development officer,
2:48:40 > 2:48:47Miss K is out in the local community.Oh my God.The students
2:48:47 > 2:48:52are in, we have direct rinks with the community. We work with the
2:48:52 > 2:48:56community all the time, we are always at people's houses. Is the
2:48:56 > 2:49:01second time at this junction. A lot
2:49:04 > 2:49:08attendance you have a resource department to go out and do this? We
2:49:08 > 2:49:12do. There's me, a team of five cheerleaders, and attendance league,
2:49:17 > 2:49:21-- team leaders, and attendance link, and it has an effect on
2:49:21 > 2:49:23people?
2:49:24 > 2:49:32We are unique at where we have the support from individual students. I
2:49:32 > 2:49:34couldn't comment about other schools and what they do but we are
2:49:34 > 2:49:39definitely unique in our team.You are not deadly but to answer that I
2:49:39 > 2:49:39suppose
2:49:42 > 2:49:45-- you are not dead be able to answer this I suppose but what you
2:49:45 > 2:49:53do about the other kids where resources are available?Realise
2:49:53 > 2:49:55it's not about process killing a
2:49:55 > 2:49:55Realise it's not about process killing a
2:50:00 > 2:50:07us in if you're joining us with issues, remember it's not just about
2:50:07 > 2:50:14results.Always feels weird talking to a teacher and calling them by
2:50:14 > 2:50:24their first name, still. Old habits. Thank you very much. It's snowing
2:50:24 > 2:50:28outside. This delighted me when I came out to work yesterday, big
2:50:28 > 2:50:32flakes, we had the debate about whether it needs to be warmer,
2:50:32 > 2:50:39either way it is cold, that's view from Salford quays.
2:50:39 > 2:50:42Here's Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
2:50:42 > 2:50:46There have been lots of snow showers the Cheshire and Merseyside
2:50:46 > 2:50:46There have been lots of snow showers the Cheshire and Merseyside but I've
2:50:46 > 2:50:51struggled to found weather watcher pictures. This is Staffordshire,
2:50:51 > 2:50:55there will be more wintry showers here. Parts of Wales, Winter
2:50:55 > 2:51:01wonderland scene. Shropshire has seen a lot of snow yesterday, really
2:51:01 > 2:51:11deep in places. Causing transport problems in places. The M6 motorway
2:51:11 > 2:51:15in particular. Snow and ice is a problem in areas this morning,
2:51:15 > 2:51:19continuing across Scotland for parts of Northern Ireland across Wales
2:51:19 > 2:51:23into the Cheshire Gap, the odd one elsewhere but for most of you
2:51:23 > 2:51:27starting off cold, dry and frosty, lots of sunshine in the Central and
2:51:27 > 2:51:32eastern parts. Light yesterday as well apart from the far North East
2:51:32 > 2:51:37of Scotland where it is still quite busy. Temperatures really fall away
2:51:37 > 2:51:42this evening and overnight. Widespread fast developing, this
2:51:42 > 2:51:47pushes in, that initially rain bumping to cold air across the
2:51:47 > 2:51:51Midlands, northern England will turn to heavy snow. It will likely really
2:51:51 > 2:51:55accumulate by the end of the night into Sunday morning. It could get
2:51:55 > 2:52:0010-20 centimetres over higher ground. This is disruptive snow over
2:52:00 > 2:52:03the end of Sunday night into Saturday night into Sunday morning.
2:52:03 > 2:52:11Watch out for this, making journeys only if you have two, stay indoors.
2:52:11 > 2:52:15It will continue eastwards through the course of the day but fizzled
2:52:15 > 2:52:21out and turns back to rain. We will see showers, strong winds in the
2:52:21 > 2:52:27afternoon, there may be severe gales in the southern counties. Southern
2:52:27 > 2:52:34Ireland will wonder what is the fuss about, cold and frosty and dry. That
2:52:34 > 2:52:37moves away and it's quite for a town on Sunday night in demand, this area
2:52:37 > 2:52:41of low pressure is expected to batter parts of north and west
2:52:41 > 2:52:45France could influence our weather in the South, mainly south and
2:52:45 > 2:52:49south-eastern area seen persistent rain, cloud, fairly strong winds,
2:52:49 > 2:52:57and some winter re-nest. Elsewhere, a dry day with fairly brisk winds,
2:52:57 > 2:53:00bringing showers to parts of Northern Ireland but a cold day to
2:53:00 > 2:53:05come with some good spells of sunshine. That area of low pressure
2:53:05 > 2:53:09moves away, quiet on Tuesday with spells of sunshine after a cold
2:53:09 > 2:53:13frosty start. It gets more unsettled in the middle to late about of the
2:53:13 > 2:53:16week with more showers and strengthening winds. It will remain
2:53:16 > 2:53:20strengthening winds. It will remain cold. When the weather is cold,
2:53:20 > 2:53:25watch the flight. Hot honey and lemon. Protect yourself!It mainly
2:53:25 > 2:53:31the dust in the studio.Don't give away those secrets.
2:53:31 > 2:53:42That's bring you up to date with our lead story.
2:53:42 > 2:53:44The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has arrived in Tehran.
2:53:44 > 2:53:46He's there to hold talks with his Iranian counterpart
2:53:46 > 2:53:49and is expected to push for the release of the
2:53:49 > 2:53:50British-Iranian woman, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
2:53:50 > 2:53:53The aid-worker is serving a five year prison sentence in the country,
2:53:53 > 2:53:55accused of trying to overthrow the Iranian government -
2:53:55 > 2:53:56a charge she denies.
2:53:56 > 2:53:58It's expected Mr Johnson will also discuss Britain's wider
2:53:58 > 2:54:02relations with Iran.
2:54:02 > 2:54:06More on that story just after 9am.
2:54:06 > 2:54:10The number of new car sales in the UK has dropped by 12 % -
2:54:10 > 2:54:13a fall many are blaming on the rising cost of buying
2:54:13 > 2:54:14new wheels on credit.
2:54:14 > 2:54:17More than four in every five cars bought on finance are purchased
2:54:17 > 2:54:19through personal contract payments.
2:54:19 > 2:54:22We're joined now by Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Moneybox programme -
2:54:22 > 2:54:26the numbers don't appear to be adding up like they used to, Paul?
2:54:28 > 2:54:33Lots of people do these deals, buying their cars this way?They do.
2:54:33 > 2:54:37The problem is what you are really doing is you are financing the
2:54:37 > 2:54:40difference between the cost of the new car and what it is worth after
2:54:40 > 2:54:45three years. It's that gap you are borrowing the money to pay. Two
2:54:45 > 2:54:49things have happened, first of all new car prices have written part
2:54:49 > 2:54:53because of the falling pound and second-hand prices have fallen. That
2:54:53 > 2:54:57is partly because of the success of these schemes, more and more
2:54:57 > 2:55:00second-hand cars are on the market. That gap between the new cost and
2:55:00 > 2:55:05the use cost is growing and that is why you have to borrow more money to
2:55:05 > 2:55:11fund that gap.Kenny give us a sense of what the price rise is, people
2:55:11 > 2:55:17will face? What will be the impact on what happens at the end of you
2:55:17 > 2:55:20have a car?This is why I have my glasses on, I have a small print
2:55:20 > 2:55:29spreadsheet. An Audi 83 over just over since March to now, that is an
2:55:29 > 2:55:33extra 33%, and extra thirsty by that. Over a year, it's an extra
2:55:33 > 2:55:4450%. A small Mercedes, 20%. A Vauxhall, 16%. Peugeot, 10%. These
2:55:44 > 2:55:47are really big differences people have to fund. If you've already got
2:55:47 > 2:55:51one of these deals and got one of these cars, what you will find is
2:55:51 > 2:55:55you will come to renew it next year and you will find suddenly you
2:55:55 > 2:55:58cannot afford the same model because the price rises so much that you
2:55:58 > 2:56:05have to either by a less expensive vehicle or just try and keep it.
2:56:05 > 2:56:09Then you have the problem you have do pay this big so-called balloon
2:56:09 > 2:56:15payment at the end which may also be too expensive for you.Thank you.

2:56:38 > 2:56:41your might be interested to hear that research suggests singing can
2:56:41 > 2:56:43lift the spirits and have real health benefits.

2:57:14 > 2:57:16What are the dos and don'ts?
2:57:16 > 2:57:23Well, if you are doing a little gospel music,
2:57:23 > 2:57:27one thing is to make sure you have, you keep a rhythm in your body.
2:57:27 > 2:57:28HE SINGS A SCALE.

3:00:00 > 3:00:02Hello.

3:00:09 > 3:00:11Boris Johnson arrives to Iran to try to secure the release
3:00:11 > 3:00:12of a jailed British mother.
3:00:12 > 3:00:15The Foreign Secretary is due to arrive there in the next few
3:00:15 > 3:00:17hours and will raise "grave concerns" about Nazanin
3:00:17 > 3:00:26Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who's spent the past 18 months behind bars.
3:00:29 > 3:00:31Good morning.
3:00:31 > 3:00:31It's Saturday 9th December.
3:00:31 > 3:00:33Also this morning:
3:00:33 > 3:00:35A Brexit breakthrough by the Prime Minister,
3:00:35 > 3:00:36but a long journey lies ahead.
3:00:36 > 3:00:40We'll get reaction to yesterday's deal and look at what next
3:00:40 > 3:00:46for Britain's departure from the European Union.
3:00:46 > 3:00:50President Trump declares a state of emergency in California as strong
3:00:50 > 3:00:51winds continue to fan the flames of a series of
3:00:51 > 3:01:02devastating wildfires.
3:01:02 > 3:01:04In sport - another off the field incident for England
3:01:04 > 3:01:05on their Ashes tour.
3:01:05 > 3:01:08It's just been revealed why batsman Ben Duckett was been dropped
3:01:08 > 3:01:09from England's Ashes tour match today -
3:01:09 > 3:01:13it follows an incident in a Perth bar.
3:01:13 > 3:01:15In sharp contrast here more snow and ice are on the way
3:01:15 > 3:01:17with freezing temperatures likely to cause travel disruption.
3:01:17 > 3:01:24Stav will have the latest for us.
3:01:24 > 3:01:26A few snow showers and the potential of some significant snow.
3:01:26 > 3:01:34Join me later for the details.
3:01:34 > 3:01:35Good morning.
3:01:35 > 3:01:45First, our main story.
3:01:47 > 3:01:49The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has arrived
3:01:49 > 3:01:50in Iran shortly, where he will express
3:01:50 > 3:01:53what he describes as "grave concerns" over the imprisonment
3:01:53 > 3:01:54of the British-Iranian woman, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
3:01:54 > 3:01:57The aid-worker has been held prisoner in the country since April
3:01:57 > 3:01:592016, accused of trying to overthrow the Iranian government -
3:01:59 > 3:02:00a charge she denies.
3:02:00 > 3:02:02Mr Johnson is also expected to discuss Britain's wider
3:02:02 > 3:02:03relations with Iran.
3:02:03 > 3:02:05Here's our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.
3:02:05 > 3:02:07Boris Johnson's first visit to Iran could hardly be more sensitive.
3:02:07 > 3:02:10Last month he was accused of damaging the case for the release
3:02:10 > 3:02:13of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe by remarks he later apologised for.
3:02:13 > 3:02:15On his way to Tehran to see Iran's Foreign Minister,
3:02:15 > 3:02:25he issued a statement, saying:
3:02:33 > 3:02:34The Foreign Secretary says
3:02:34 > 3:02:38he will also emphasise the UK's continued support for the nuclear
3:02:38 > 3:02:39deal with Iran, despite its repudiation by President Trump.
3:02:39 > 3:02:42But he will also make clear UK's concerns about some of Iran's
3:02:42 > 3:02:43activities, notably in Syria and Yemen.
3:02:43 > 3:02:45Mr Johnson described the relationship with
3:02:45 > 3:02:46Iran as "improving,
3:02:46 > 3:02:47but not straightforward."
3:02:47 > 3:02:50The Foreign Secretary has been careful to lower any expectations
3:02:50 > 3:02:51of imminent release for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe,
3:02:51 > 3:03:01warning that such cases are very difficult.
3:03:02 > 3:03:04That was our diplomatic correspondent James
3:03:04 > 3:03:10Robbins reporting.
3:03:10 > 3:03:12One of the Cabinet's leading Brexiteers has suggested that voters
3:03:12 > 3:03:16can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal
3:03:16 > 3:03:19with the European Union and to force a future government to change course
3:03:19 > 3:03:20if they don't like it.
3:03:20 > 3:03:22The Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, made the comments in
3:03:22 > 3:03:25an article in The Daily Telegraph, just a day after Theresa May's
3:03:25 > 3:03:27agreement in Brussels cleared the way for trade talks.
3:03:27 > 3:03:29We can speak now to our political correspondent Jonathan Blake.
3:03:29 > 3:03:39Jonathan, what more has Mr Gove said?
3:03:49 > 3:04:06Michael Gove is the first Tory minister to come out and give his
3:04:06 > 3:04:16opinion on what has happened in Brussels over the last 24 hour was.
3:04:16 > 3:04:24He is reminding people of the key issues and praising the Prime
3:04:24 > 3:04:34Minister's tenacity.
3:04:37 > 3:04:44It will take us a few weeks and months to understand this ambiguous
3:04:44 > 3:05:03agreement which property News just get on with the negotiations.
3:06:07 > 3:06:10The wintry weather looks set to continue with Met Office warnings
3:06:10 > 3:06:15in place for large parts of the UK.
3:06:20 > 3:06:24Some of these reindeers are getting the first taste of snow in Dudley.
3:06:24 > 3:06:34And in
3:06:35 > 3:06:35the early
3:06:35 > 3:06:38And in the early hours, more snowfalls have been reported
3:06:38 > 3:06:39the early ve been reported
3:06:39 > 3:06:42across the UK, although conditions are expect to ease for today.
3:06:42 > 3:06:44At Manchester Airport, wings have had to be de-iced.
3:06:44 > 3:06:46An image some are about to leave behind.
3:06:46 > 3:06:47Shropshire is somewhere in this picture.
3:06:47 > 3:06:48Undeterred.
3:06:48 > 3:06:50On the Isle of Man, the weekend began early,
3:06:50 > 3:06:51as all schools were closed.
3:06:51 > 3:06:53Elsewhere, there have been problems on the roads.
3:06:53 > 3:06:56The extremes of the weather are expected to eventually be
3:06:56 > 3:06:58confined to north-east Scotland, but tomorrow, a spell of heavy snow
3:06:58 > 3:07:01is likely over the Midlands and parts of Wales and northern
3:07:01 > 3:07:03England.
3:07:03 > 3:07:0720cm is quite significant.
3:07:07 > 3:07:10We will press ahead of that, we will salt ahead of that,
3:07:10 > 3:07:12but past 20cm we might have to reduce the network and keep
3:07:12 > 3:07:14key routes open.
3:07:14 > 3:07:16That is much as you can do - 20cm is significant.
3:07:16 > 3:07:20The Met Office is warning that some in the countryside may be cut off -
3:07:20 > 3:07:26if the skies were not convincing enough.
3:07:26 > 3:07:34Stav will be here in the next few minutes with the latest forecast.
3:07:34 > 3:07:40Firefighters in southern California are continuing to battle wildfires,
3:07:40 > 3:07:46which have destroyed hundreds of homes.
3:07:46 > 3:07:49More than 200,000 people have already fled the area and many more
3:07:49 > 3:07:50are preparing to evacuate.
3:07:50 > 3:07:52President Trump has declared a state of emergency
3:07:52 > 3:07:55as the fires continue to spread.
3:07:55 > 3:07:59we've been hearing this morning burst in more trouble for the
3:07:59 > 3:08:02England Ashes campaign. Batsmen Ben Duckett has been dropped from the
3:08:02 > 3:08:06tour following an incident in Perth. Mike, we have heard about this in
3:08:06 > 3:08:10the last couple of hours?We had something was wrong because Ben
3:08:10 > 3:08:14Duckett was meant to play in a warm up match but was dropped and
3:08:14 > 3:08:19replaced in that match. We found out it's because he had been suspended
3:08:19 > 3:08:23while he is investigated for an incident in a bar in Perth and if
3:08:23 > 3:08:27that means any bells, it's because you remember at the beginning of the
3:08:27 > 3:08:30door, Jonny Bairstow was involved in an incident in a bar in Perth. Then
3:08:30 > 3:08:36a curfew was imposed on the England team meaning they had to be back in
3:08:36 > 3:08:40the hotel by midnight. That curfew was lifted on Thursday night, the
3:08:40 > 3:08:44players went out, and in the bar when the incident took place, a lot
3:08:44 > 3:08:48of the senior squad were there as well. This was the first night after
3:08:48 > 3:08:52the curfew and there's been another incident. This time we understand no
3:08:52 > 3:08:56police were involved or calls, no members of the public, the security
3:08:56 > 3:09:02team were present and you may have deduced that perhaps they could be
3:09:02 > 3:09:10between the players themselves or Australia. It's the timing that is
3:09:10 > 3:09:15staggering.For those that haven't followed closely, in itself this may
3:09:15 > 3:09:20or may not be a serious incident, we are not in a position to judge, but
3:09:20 > 3:09:24there's been a sequence of issues of discipline around the team?Ben
3:09:24 > 3:09:27Stokes is waiting to hear if he will be charged following the incident in
3:09:27 > 3:09:33September. Jonny Bairstow incident in the beginning of the tour in
3:09:33 > 3:09:36Australia, then Trevor Bayliss said he was furious and said England
3:09:36 > 3:09:41players needed to be smarter. Here they are seen as the curfew is
3:09:41 > 3:09:46lifted, they go out and there is an incident. We now wait for England to
3:09:46 > 3:09:49see if another curfew is imposed and what reaction there will be this
3:09:49 > 3:10:00time.Thank you.
3:10:00 > 3:10:03The main news, Boris Johnson has arrived in Tah round
3:10:05 > 3:10:06--
3:10:11 > 3:10:18other -- Terhan. We can now talk to the MP Tulip Siddiq to joins us from
3:10:18 > 3:10:28our London newsroom. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us today.
3:10:28 > 3:10:32This is something that her family has been pressing for, what impact
3:10:32 > 3:10:36do you think the visit will have?We had a conversation with the Foreign
3:10:36 > 3:10:40Office yesterday and we were very clear to stress that Boris Johnson
3:10:40 > 3:10:45was not going to Iran just to release her and there should be no
3:10:45 > 3:10:50expectations of him coming back with her. But I asked whether he would be
3:10:50 > 3:10:56raising the fact that she needs to be released in humanitarian rows.
3:10:56 > 3:11:01And he will be raising it with the authorities but we should not expect
3:11:01 > 3:11:07any miracle. What we should ask is whether he can arrange for a visa
3:11:07 > 3:11:13for Richard Ratcliffe to go to Iran, bear in mind she has not been able
3:11:13 > 3:11:17to go to Iran to see his daughter or wife because he hasn't been granted
3:11:17 > 3:11:22a Visa for the last 19 months. That's a tangible has we were asked
3:11:22 > 3:11:29of the Foreign Secretary when he goes to Iran.The problem as his red
3:11:29 > 3:11:34clay, he doesn't believe he is safe to visit her on his own. The
3:11:34 > 3:11:39connector as he's made clear.With vast that if he does make
3:11:39 > 3:11:44arrangements for a decent, he needs to make arrangements for security.
3:11:44 > 3:11:48It is risky for him to go to Iran, but we have to put faith in the
3:11:48 > 3:11:53Foreign Office, if we can get India ran to visit his daughter and wife
3:11:53 > 3:11:58imprisoned, the Foreign Office have two guarantee his security as a
3:11:58 > 3:12:06citizen. The other thing I discussed about this trip is whether Boris
3:12:06 > 3:12:11Johnson will visit Nazanin himself we have previously had a problem
3:12:11 > 3:12:15with a diplomat going to Iran, going to the prison where Nazanin is based
3:12:15 > 3:12:20but not seen her face to face. That is one thing I pushed for if Boris
3:12:20 > 3:12:24Johnson is there in Iran, will he try and see my constituents face to
3:12:24 > 3:12:29face?Have you spoken to her recently?I spoke to her about ten
3:12:29 > 3:12:35days ago. In my conversation even though she was trying to appear
3:12:35 > 3:12:38upbeat, she was trying to thank all the campaigners who are working on
3:12:38 > 3:12:43her behalf here, she thanked me as well, it's clear her mental health
3:12:43 > 3:12:46is fragile. That is what worries me, that she has a court hearing
3:12:46 > 3:12:51tomorrow. She will spend yet another Christmas separated from her
3:12:51 > 3:12:55daughter who is growing up without her, without her husband, and we
3:12:55 > 3:12:59need to make sure she does not go back to being suicidal, being on
3:12:59 > 3:13:04hunger strike which is what she was at the time. When I did speak to
3:13:04 > 3:13:08her, it was quite strange because we started talking about our daughters
3:13:08 > 3:13:13and she said to me casually that when she was a solitary confinement,
3:13:13 > 3:13:16she suddenly remembered she had tickets to Papa
3:13:16 > 3:13:17tickets to Papa
3:13:18 > 3:13:26That she could not communicate -- Papa pig. The worry of letting her
3:13:26 > 3:13:34daughter down. Then suddenly this menacing voice said casually, that's
3:13:34 > 3:13:40just a reminder you're speaking to a prisoner in Iran. You can imagine
3:13:40 > 3:13:44what her life is like at the moment. I do worry about her mental health
3:13:44 > 3:13:48and that's why if Boris Johnson goes to Iran, he sees her face to face,
3:13:48 > 3:13:52it will be a boost to her that people are rooting for her, trying
3:13:52 > 3:13:59to call for her release and she has not been forgotten.Tulip Siddiq, MP
3:13:59 > 3:14:04for Hampstead and Kilburn, thanks for joining us.
3:14:04 > 3:14:09That speak to our security correspondent. He is in Bahrain.
3:14:09 > 3:14:22Boris Johnson goes to Iran over a British woman's fate, this is a
3:14:22 > 3:14:29sensitive diplomatic area.This is he is basically walking into a
3:14:29 > 3:14:33diplomatic minefield here. It's incredibly sensitive. The difficulty
3:14:33 > 3:14:42for Boris Johnson and any visiting Western minister is there two Irans.
3:14:42 > 3:14:46The official one he will be met and greet and buy the Foreign Minister,
3:14:46 > 3:14:52the red carpet with the elected government, and then dig deep state,
3:14:52 > 3:14:58the hardliners, the radicals, the guardians of the Islamic Revolution,
3:14:58 > 3:15:03the judiciary by the people who do not trust or like the West and want
3:15:03 > 3:15:08to manufacture a difficulty with the West. Even if he was able to get
3:15:08 > 3:15:12some encouraging words for the Foreign Minister, he may well get
3:15:12 > 3:15:16those words, that doesn't mean the hardliners will agree to death. Iran
3:15:16 > 3:15:20will have a shopping list of what they want in return, any concession
3:15:20 > 3:15:25they feel they are making on there. I'm looking at the surroundings
3:15:25 > 3:15:29behind you, you are in Bahrain, there is a security conference
3:15:29 > 3:15:33taking place. That is happening in the light of President Trump's
3:15:33 > 3:15:44comments about to reason and? -- about Jerusalem's?I'm in a luxury
3:15:44 > 3:15:50hotel and Qatar has not been invited this year. All morning we have been
3:15:50 > 3:15:55hearing criticisms of this announcement and privately, Western
3:15:55 > 3:15:56counterterrorism specialists have been telling me they are very
3:15:56 > 3:16:01concerned that this is going to generate more terrorism and the
3:16:01 > 3:16:08previous Saudi ambassador to London, who before that ran this country's
3:16:08 > 3:16:10intelligence service for MIDI quarter of a century, said this will
3:16:10 > 3:16:17be oxygen and nutrition too radical. They feared this will encourage
3:16:17 > 3:16:22radical recruiters for Isis and Al-Qaeda to say look what the West
3:16:22 > 3:16:27is doing, look what the leader of the democratic world is doing, you
3:16:27 > 3:16:31should be with us not them. There is a fear here that we will see more
3:16:31 > 3:16:38terrorism because of this announcement.Thank you.
3:16:38 > 3:16:42Here's Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
3:16:42 > 3:16:44Snow for many of us?
3:16:44 > 3:16:47Snow for many of us?
3:16:47 > 3:16:52Good morning. Slow across the North and west, the East is dry and sunny.
3:16:52 > 3:16:55That is how we will see things today. Some incredible weather
3:16:55 > 3:17:04watchers picture about whether Winter wonderland scene. Shropshire
3:17:04 > 3:17:09had some very heavy snow yesterday, disruptive snow in fact. We think
3:17:09 > 3:17:12country showers across parts of the West Midlands into North Wales and
3:17:12 > 3:17:17Cheshire and Merseyside. The snow is there in Highland, plenty of silent
3:17:17 > 3:17:25leg showers moving down. They will have those risks. More showers for
3:17:25 > 3:17:29parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and running to the Cheshire gap,
3:17:29 > 3:17:31they will push further westwards northwards into Lancashire and
3:17:31 > 3:17:40Manchester, the odd one across West Wales. They find dry sunny day after
3:17:40 > 3:17:46a cold start. A really cold evening the first part of the night, snow
3:17:46 > 3:17:50showers continue across the West, then there is rain that pushes are
3:17:50 > 3:17:53from the South West as advance into the cold air, it will turn quickly
3:17:53 > 3:17:57to heavy snow during the early hours and into Sunday morning. Anyway and
3:17:57 > 3:18:01this meeting, the Midlands, into northern England, parts of Wales, is
3:18:01 > 3:18:06this glitzy ten centimetres or maybe more as a higher ground, 15-20
3:18:06 > 3:18:10centimetres, that is disruptive snow so you can imagine how it will be
3:18:10 > 3:18:13like on Sunday morning. Take care if you have two had out on the roads,
3:18:13 > 3:18:16the snow will continue through the course of the morning into the
3:18:16 > 3:18:20afternoon. It will shift eastwards, starting to peter out and turned
3:18:20 > 3:18:27back into sleety rain for many, then across cell there will be westerly
3:18:27 > 3:18:35winds, parts of south Wales and the Bristol Channel. Eight or 9 degrees
3:18:35 > 3:18:39here, Scotland and Northern Ireland apart from wintry showers, dry,
3:18:39 > 3:18:43sunny and cold. There is an area of low pressure, moving to the main
3:18:43 > 3:18:46continent, this area of low pressure, storm will bring some
3:18:46 > 3:18:50damaging weather to parts of France. This northern edge may quit southern
3:18:50 > 3:18:54Britain through the course of Monday. Cloudy, windy, a bit of
3:18:54 > 3:19:00winter Venus in it. To the north showers but largely fine and dry.
3:19:00 > 3:19:05Sunshine although still cold. Things calm down into Tuesday, those areas
3:19:05 > 3:19:09of low pressure move away, a dry one for most, lighter winds and spills
3:19:09 > 3:19:13of sunshine a frosty start. It's very cold, isn't
3:19:13 > 3:19:16of sunshine a frosty start. It's very cold, isn't it?
3:19:16 > 3:19:17You're watching Breakfast.
3:19:17 > 3:19:27Time now for a look at the newspapers.
3:19:28 > 3:19:31The broadcaster Ian Collins is here to tell us what's caught his eye.
3:19:31 > 3:19:36You often see papers having arguments with each other but the
3:19:36 > 3:19:41Telegraph is now digging into the Financial Times's your editor.They
3:19:41 > 3:19:46are claiming back in March there was a lunch between the FT editor and
3:19:46 > 3:19:51Jean-Claude Juncker from the EU Commission. They are very
3:19:51 > 3:19:57pro-remain. Apparently in that month, Lionel Barber happened to say
3:19:57 > 3:20:02we have done some calculation that the paper as we reckon that Brexit
3:20:02 > 3:20:08will cost 60 billion euros. As a result of that, it is suggested by
3:20:08 > 3:20:15the mischievous Daily Telegraph perhaps that Jean-Claude Juncker and
3:20:15 > 3:20:19others dined out on this figure saying it could be 60 million. The
3:20:19 > 3:20:23suggestion is that the Financial Times could have cost us an extra 15
3:20:23 > 3:20:26billion as a result of that month, the most constant lunch in history,
3:20:26 > 3:20:36as they say.It says Mr Barber is such a committed europhile that he
3:20:36 > 3:20:37was
3:20:39 > 3:20:39high
3:20:40 > 3:20:45. -- high honour for it.There's a story in the Guardian about the Pope
3:20:45 > 3:20:51about the use of words?The Lord's Prayer. Everybody knows the Lord's
3:20:51 > 3:20:55Prayer if you are religious or not if you are a Christian or not.
3:20:55 > 3:20:59You've heard it often enough Avenue? That great feeling when you are
3:20:59 > 3:21:03little in the assembly, you can recite it without looking at it.
3:21:03 > 3:21:07They've changed the words over time. The words have been changed, in
3:21:07 > 3:21:10France they have a different version but it all comes down to the line
3:21:10 > 3:21:17lead us not into temptation. Pope argues that God is leading us into
3:21:17 > 3:21:22temptation, and God is God and he would do no such thing, it is
3:21:22 > 3:21:27scurrilous to suggest otherwise is, and adding words there. He thinks
3:21:27 > 3:21:33the version should be do not let us fall into temptation which would be
3:21:33 > 3:21:37more appropriate?You can imagine in religious circles this could be a
3:21:37 > 3:21:40matter of debate.I imagine there are people writing e-mails right now
3:21:40 > 3:21:47that the outrageousness of tinkering around with the Lord's Prayer. There
3:21:47 > 3:21:51are people dedicating every waking hours to this, to me there are lots
3:21:51 > 3:21:55of things that could change. There are inappropriate versus all over
3:21:55 > 3:21:59the place.That is a whole other debate. This reflects the Pope
3:21:59 > 3:22:04trying to transform or being transformative figure when it comes
3:22:04 > 3:22:10to the church.I know he is the Pope and he is very important. But I'm
3:22:10 > 3:22:14not sure that the pontiff brief extends to monkeying around with a
3:22:14 > 3:22:22big player.But if anyone can come and be Pope can?Said that the
3:22:22 > 3:22:26written on the side of the Pope Mobil?I want if some people should
3:22:26 > 3:22:33have the influence they have. You take this story out and I'm almost
3:22:33 > 3:22:37resentful about giving this publicity.I agree with you, there's
3:22:37 > 3:22:43a reason I picked it. This is the prankster, I love that word, who
3:22:43 > 3:22:47cemented a microwave to his own head. His name is Jason Windle and
3:22:47 > 3:22:54he is 22, and he did a stunned when he put a microwave on his head and
3:22:54 > 3:22:58the firefighters had to come out and rescue it.Why have you picked this
3:22:58 > 3:23:04story? Because I think he knew exactly what he was doing.We all
3:23:04 > 3:23:08know the Charlie bit my finger at YouTube.It hurts when Charlie does
3:23:08 > 3:23:15that!I thought you were recounting a story.You're in denial.I thought
3:23:15 > 3:23:24we got over.The people that made their video made a 6-figure salary
3:23:24 > 3:23:27and they didn't realise at the time, they put it onto YouTube and it went
3:23:27 > 3:23:31viral and has hundreds of millions of hits. You can make a lot of money
3:23:31 > 3:23:38out of duty. I think this guy with the microwave knew exactly what he
3:23:38 > 3:23:46was doing.In this case, allowing people to put dangerous things out
3:23:46 > 3:24:00there? That somebody had to call 999 presumably because this man had his
3:24:00 > 3:24:05head stuck in cement.That isn't clever and it's a waste of
3:24:05 > 3:24:14resources. Will get hundreds of millions of hits and microwave head
3:24:14 > 3:24:21boy...It makes the order is reluctant to show this picture of a
3:24:21 > 3:24:27nearly didn't do this story.I think they have this morning defile and
3:24:27 > 3:24:31their biggest unwanted Christmas present story.The other day I made
3:24:31 > 3:24:36a toasted sandwich and loved it. Ham and cheese toasted salad. I've
3:24:38 > 3:24:43-- toasted salad.I've never understood by all the things that
3:24:43 > 3:24:48people buy and own news, the sandwich toaster, a toasted
3:24:48 > 3:24:51sandwiches quite a common thing you get from one of those. Why this
3:24:51 > 3:24:56would be on the list...Is it because people already have one?I
3:24:56 > 3:25:05think it's cleaning.They're better these days. A lot of what this says
3:25:05 > 3:25:08as well as people don't know how to use these bread makers and slow
3:25:08 > 3:25:13cookers.The bread-maker I can understand, you have these
3:25:13 > 3:25:17ingredients but a few Jenna had to make a toasted salad and a sandwich
3:25:17 > 3:25:20maker, thank you you should be carted out the back.Make the Sam
3:25:20 > 3:25:27Wood and put it in the toaster?Shut the lid...You have to barter both
3:25:30 > 3:25:34ways of making a good toasted sandwich.Half of given presents are
3:25:34 > 3:25:38never used.What would be your favourite filling for your toasted
3:25:38 > 3:25:44sandwich?Traditional, if you don't have cheese, you're not part of the
3:25:44 > 3:25:49club. Maybe watch a bit of ham in there.Only in. Never tomato. Causes
3:25:49 > 3:25:55the sogginess on the inside.If you buy it straight into it, it can take
3:25:55 > 3:26:01the roof of your mouth.Heavy on the Worcester sauce.Would you? Tabasco.
3:26:01 > 3:26:10All the way.Good.Enjoy one later? Might go for one now.They will talk
3:26:10 > 3:26:15to Saturday kitchen in a while, we should ask them what their perfect
3:26:15 > 3:26:19toasted damages, it I bet it's impressive.That's where you get the
3:26:19 > 3:26:22perfect recipe.
3:26:22 > 3:26:24The countdown to next year's football World Cup
3:26:24 > 3:26:25is well under way.
3:26:25 > 3:26:27The players are in training, fans are booking tickets
3:26:27 > 3:26:30and managers are pouring over the stats to try and get the edge
3:26:30 > 3:26:31over their opponents.
3:26:31 > 3:26:34Russia plays host to the tournament and that's where a rather more
3:26:34 > 3:26:37unique group of experts are also being put through their paces
3:26:37 > 3:26:38ahead of the main event.
3:26:38 > 3:26:40Our Moscow Correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, has
3:26:40 > 3:26:45been to find out more.
3:26:45 > 3:26:51Forget Lionel Messi or Ronaldo, these could be the real stars of the
3:26:51 > 3:26:57World Cup. They are rusher's fairy fortune tellers, all of them were
3:26:57 > 3:27:02told, experts at predicting football results. As your intrepid Moscow
3:27:02 > 3:27:07correspondent, Sarah and I have visited all the host cities for next
3:27:07 > 3:27:13year's tournament and discovered a menagerie of soccer soothsayers.
3:27:13 > 3:27:20First stop, Saatchi. Here's the stadium. Meanwhile down at the local
3:27:20 > 3:27:25aquarium...This is Harry the altar and in so cheap he has a reputation
3:27:25 > 3:27:34for results, with a 50% success rate. I will ask him about England.
3:27:34 > 3:27:40The chances that the World Cup. Yes or no? Ready? He's gone straight for
3:27:40 > 3:27:45the green. It took seconds, he's decided, no doubt about it from
3:27:45 > 3:27:49England to win.Onto Ekaterinburg where the excitement is building on
3:27:49 > 3:27:54the pitch but in the zoo. Maggots at the ready, meet the fortune-telling
3:27:54 > 3:28:00meerkat. I'm told he has plenty of experience picking winners, let's
3:28:00 > 3:28:08see where he's gone. England? That's a good sign. Ever since pulled the
3:28:08 > 3:28:11German octopus hit the headlines in 2010 with his World Cup predictions,
3:28:11 > 3:28:16the search has been on for a worthy successor. Have they found one in
3:28:16 > 3:28:22Saint Petersburg? At the world famous Hermitage Museum, they
3:28:22 > 3:28:30believe their animal Oracle beats the opposition by a whisker. Meet
3:28:30 > 3:28:34the fortune-telling cat. He will be predicting the soccer scores. Let's
3:28:34 > 3:28:37see he chooses in this combination.
3:28:42 > 3:28:47Crystal ball on four legs, he is not, I suspect. But at least he is
3:28:47 > 3:28:58cute. It's a curious world.Very bizarre.No more curious than if we
3:28:58 > 3:29:10were to introduce Saturday kitchen. And then ask him what his favourites
3:29:10 > 3:29:21toastie?It has to be cheese with a fresh truffles and maybe a view

3:30:43 > 3:30:53-- posh toastie. Thanks. Headlines coming up in just a moment.
3:31:15 > 3:31:17Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
3:31:17 > 3:31:19Coming up before nine, Stav has the weather.
3:31:19 > 3:31:29But first, a summary of this morning's main news.
3:31:29 > 3:31:36The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has arrived
3:31:36 > 3:31:37in Iran, where he's expected
3:31:37 > 3:31:39to press for the release of the British-Iranian woman,
3:31:39 > 3:31:40Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
3:31:40 > 3:31:42The aid-worker has been held prisoner in the country
3:31:42 > 3:31:43since April 2016.
3:31:43 > 3:31:46She's accused of trying to overthrow the Iranian government -
3:31:46 > 3:31:53a charge she denies.
3:31:53 > 3:31:56I had a conversation with the Foreign Office who stressed that
3:31:56 > 3:32:04Boris Johnson was not going to Iran just to secure Nazarene's release.
3:32:04 > 3:32:12He will be raising it with the Iranians authorities, but it was
3:32:12 > 3:32:26made clear we should not expect any miracles. -- the Moore.
3:32:26 > 3:32:29One of the Cabinet's leading Brexiteers has suggested that voters
3:32:29 > 3:32:32can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal
3:32:32 > 3:32:35with the European Union - and to force a future government
3:32:35 > 3:32:37to change course if they don't like it.
3:32:37 > 3:32:39The Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, makes his comments
3:32:39 > 3:32:41in The Daily Telegraph, a day after Theresa May's
3:32:41 > 3:32:43agreement in Brussels cleared the way for trade talks.
3:32:43 > 3:32:46The Cabinet is expected to meet in the next fortnight to discuss
3:32:46 > 3:32:47Britain's future relationship with the EU.
3:32:47 > 3:32:50Officials in Gaza say four people have died and 160 are injured
3:32:50 > 3:32:52following air strikes on Hamas military positions by
3:32:52 > 3:32:53Israel in the Gaza Strip.
3:32:53 > 3:32:55The strikes were in retaliation for Palestinian rocket
3:32:55 > 3:32:56attacks on southern Israel.
3:32:56 > 3:32:59Palestinians and Israeli security forces have clashed in the West Bank
3:32:59 > 3:33:01since President Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's
3:33:01 > 3:33:02capital on Wednesday.
3:33:02 > 3:33:04Yesterday, the US Ambassador, Nikki Haley, defended Donald Trump's
3:33:04 > 3:33:14comments and accused the UN of bias against Israel.
3:33:16 > 3:33:19The wintry weather looks set to continue with Met Office warnings
3:33:19 > 3:33:21in place for large parts of the UK.
3:33:21 > 3:33:23More snow and freezing temperatures are forecast for northern
3:33:23 > 3:33:24and eastern regions into tomorrow.
3:33:24 > 3:33:27Yesterday, commuters faced problems on the roads and railways
3:33:27 > 3:33:29and hundreds of properties remain without power in the West Midlands.
3:33:29 > 3:33:31We'll have a weather forecast and a few minutes.
3:33:31 > 3:33:33Firefighters in southern California are continuing to battle wildfires,
3:33:33 > 3:33:35which have destroyed hundreds of homes.
3:33:35 > 3:33:38More than 200,000 people have already fled the area and many more
3:33:38 > 3:33:39are preparing to evacuate.
3:33:39 > 3:33:41President Trump has declared a state of emergency as the fires
3:33:41 > 3:33:52continue to spread.
3:33:53 > 3:34:00Those are the main stories. Don't forget that Stav will have the
3:34:00 > 3:34:15weather later. Good morning, Mike. Frozen pitches, I shall we will get
3:34:15 > 3:34:25some of those. That's right. It's possible that some of the Premier
3:34:25 > 3:34:29League matches could be off tomorrow, but they do have on the
3:34:29 > 3:34:40pitch heating. Let's look at the cricket.Ben Duckett was training in
3:34:40 > 3:34:48Perth and he had a chance to play in the warm up against Cricket
3:34:48 > 3:34:54Australia in 11, but he has been dropped and now we know. There was
3:34:54 > 3:35:01an incident in a bar in Perth which has echoes of what they had -- of
3:35:01 > 3:35:10what happened at the beginning of this tool. With -- tour with Johnny
3:35:10 > 3:35:19Bairstow. It happened on Thursday night after a curfew had been
3:35:19 > 3:35:25lifted. On the night it was lifted, there was another incident in a bar
3:35:25 > 3:35:36in Perth. The timing of this latest incident is seen as embarrassing.
3:35:36 > 3:35:41Then Duckett is training with the Lions squad. He was expected to play
3:35:41 > 3:35:46in the warm up match against Australia, but he was replaced at
3:35:46 > 3:35:51short notice. We wondered why am it is because he is facing an ECB
3:35:51 > 3:35:55enquiry into an incident in a bar in Perth on Thursday night. It is
3:35:55 > 3:36:08understood that that the police weren't involved, no members of the
3:36:08 > 3:36:13public were involved, but he has been suspended, pending this
3:36:13 > 3:36:16disciplinary enquiry. It will raise more questions about the behaviour
3:36:16 > 3:36:23of England's players on this tour. Staggeringly, this incident happened
3:36:23 > 3:36:28on the first night the players were really allowed out after a midnight
3:36:28 > 3:36:31curfew had been lifted and that curfew was imposed after
3:36:31 > 3:36:39wicketkeeper Johnny Bairstow, who was involved in an incident in a bar
3:36:39 > 3:36:44in Perth last month, there was also the ongoing issue of Ben Stokes, and
3:36:44 > 3:36:48we're waiting to find out if he will face charges over an incident
3:36:48 > 3:36:54outside nightclub in Bristol. This disciplinary action after everything
3:36:54 > 3:36:59that has happened with England is the last thing they need.We are
3:36:59 > 3:37:04expecting an England press conference in around ten minutes
3:37:04 > 3:37:11time, so I will bring you that on BBC News. We will find out what
3:37:11 > 3:37:16Trevor Davis has to say. He was furious after the Johnny Bairstow
3:37:16 > 3:37:23incident.
3:37:23 > 3:37:26On the pitch, opener Keaton Jennings, has made a case
3:37:26 > 3:37:28for picking him next week, by scoring 80, and so too has
3:37:28 > 3:37:32Tom Curran , not out 73 and he's helped edge England into a good
3:37:32 > 3:37:33position in this two day match, batting
3:37:33 > 3:37:34first they are 313-8.
3:37:34 > 3:37:37All eyes on Manchester and Merseyside tomorrow for the derbies
3:37:37 > 3:37:39but this lunchtime it is East versus west London.
3:37:39 > 3:37:40West Ham versus Chelsea.
3:37:40 > 3:37:43The hammers are in the bottom three and looking for first
3:37:43 > 3:37:46win under David Moyes but despite their position, he thinks he is
3:37:46 > 3:37:56starting to make his mark on his new squad.
3:37:57 > 3:38:01I didn't want to get too carried away but I have to say the players
3:38:01 > 3:38:02have got really good.
3:38:02 > 3:38:03They have take on board everything
3:38:03 > 3:38:04with asked of them.
3:38:04 > 3:38:07They are doing the work and right from the start, I
3:38:07 > 3:38:10said they will have to do the work if they want to play.
3:38:10 > 3:38:20Hopefully they are all doing that.
3:38:38 > 3:38:46I was saying how aid in Flint's celebration was... Do it again. He
3:38:46 > 3:39:00is walking along. This is how he was celebrating his goal. He did his
3:39:00 > 3:39:04jumping eyebrows, but he changed it. It gets a bit messy, don't try this
3:39:04 > 3:39:13at home. There we go. Aiden Flint, scoring last night the winner. I was
3:39:13 > 3:39:23not expecting that. That is just silly. He can't do that on the
3:39:23 > 3:39:34pitch? He can do in the training room.
3:39:34 > 3:39:35It's a bright outlook for Ronnie O'Sullivan whatever
3:39:35 > 3:39:37happens in the snooker today.
3:39:37 > 3:39:39The Rocket will play Stephen Maguire in the semi-finals,
3:39:39 > 3:39:43after beating Martin Gould 6-3, while Shaun Murphy will play
3:39:43 > 3:39:46Ryan Day in the other semi and whatever happens in O'Sullivan's
3:39:46 > 3:39:47match, he feels he can't lose.
3:39:47 > 3:39:51It was win-win because I thought, if they get beaten, at least I get
3:39:51 > 3:39:52home to dinner.
3:39:52 > 3:39:54And if I win I have another day here.
3:39:54 > 3:39:55I have to have a win-win.
3:39:55 > 3:40:05At this stage of the game...
3:40:09 > 3:40:12On the places around here that do dinner?
3:40:12 > 3:40:15There are quite a few places around here that will do dinner for you.
3:40:15 > 3:40:17Yes, but I would like to see my missus.
3:40:17 > 3:40:20I decided a while ago, I like to do my own thing.
3:40:20 > 3:40:23Whatever happens in the game is great, I pick and choose
3:40:23 > 3:40:24what I want to do.
3:40:24 > 3:40:29I think my happiness comes in doing other things away from snooker.
3:40:29 > 3:40:32In 8 weeks Lizzie Yarnold, will try to become the first British
3:40:32 > 3:40:34athlete to retain a winter olympic title,
3:40:34 > 3:40:37but the season, is not going to plan for the skeleton bob slider.
3:40:37 > 3:40:40Yarnold won the gold in Sochi 4 years ago, but yesterday,
3:40:40 > 3:40:42falling snow hampered her, and she finished 13th place,
3:40:42 > 3:40:44at the latest World Cup event at Wintersberg, in Germany.
3:40:44 > 3:40:47"What can you do in a snow storm she tweeted."
3:40:47 > 3:40:49Jumping fences and riding through fire mean their skills
3:40:49 > 3:40:51are arguably even more extreme than the likes of AP
3:40:51 > 3:40:52McCoy and Nick Skelton.
3:40:52 > 3:40:55Now the Met's mounted police are gearing up to show
3:40:55 > 3:40:58off their stuff at the Horse of the Year Show, which takes place
3:40:58 > 3:40:59this week in London.
3:40:59 > 3:41:02I joined them in training to find out how these skills help them
3:41:02 > 3:41:08prepare for being on the beat in London.
3:41:08 > 3:41:10They are the heavyweights of the equestrian world,
3:41:10 > 3:41:12with some of the bravest riders.
3:41:12 > 3:41:14Despite the size and the weight of these beasts, it is all
3:41:14 > 3:41:17about the most delicate position and accuracy, as they jump
3:41:17 > 3:41:21through fire and even manage to remove some of their uniform -
3:41:21 > 3:41:24and the saddle, and stirrups.
3:41:24 > 3:41:27But this isn't just about showcasing their skills this week.
3:41:27 > 3:41:29The mounted police use this training to help them
3:41:29 > 3:41:32prepare for their main job, and whatever they might face
3:41:32 > 3:41:37on the streets of London.
3:41:37 > 3:41:39We are cops on horses, police officers on horses.
3:41:39 > 3:41:40These horses are all operational horses.
3:41:40 > 3:41:42They patrol the streets of London daily.
3:41:42 > 3:41:44This ride we are doing, what you see today, it's
3:41:44 > 3:41:48all about training and developing the officers, and developing
3:41:48 > 3:41:53the horses, so that we can take those skills out onto the street.
3:41:53 > 3:41:56In a public order situation, like a riot, they say that one
3:41:56 > 3:42:00mounted officer can do the job of ten on foot.
3:42:00 > 3:42:02I saw how crucial these training sessions are for
3:42:02 > 3:42:07when things don't go to plan.
3:42:07 > 3:42:12You have to be quite robust as a rider.
3:42:12 > 3:42:14You can have situations, not that many years ago,
3:42:14 > 3:42:16like Tottenham, you have vehicles and buildings burning.
3:42:16 > 3:42:22A horse reacts adversely to that.
3:42:22 > 3:42:25So this sort of thing is great for their training.
3:42:25 > 3:42:27It's about trust and confidence.
3:42:27 > 3:42:29The first mounted police were around 150 years before the first
3:42:29 > 3:42:32pictures in the 1920s, and over the following decades,
3:42:32 > 3:42:39they became famous for their musical rides.
3:42:39 > 3:42:41NEWSREEL: This is a trial of precision and grace,
3:42:41 > 3:42:43where the policemen can show off their equestrian skills.
3:42:43 > 3:42:46Since 2014 there has been an increase in the number
3:42:46 > 3:42:51of mounted police again, following a study by a university
3:42:51 > 3:42:54which showed that the value of the horses was icebreakers -
3:42:54 > 3:42:57not just in public order situations but in community policing as well.
3:42:57 > 3:43:02You are six times more likely to interact and chat to a police
3:43:02 > 3:43:05Since 2014 there has been an increase in the number
3:43:05 > 3:43:07of mounted police again, following a study by a university
3:43:07 > 3:43:10which showed that the value of the horses was icebreakers -
3:43:10 > 3:43:13not just in public order situations but in community policing as well.
3:43:13 > 3:43:16You are six times more likely to interact and chat to a police
3:43:16 > 3:43:19officer if they are on a horse than if they are just on foot.
3:43:19 > 3:43:21Of course, it's all to do with the horse.
3:43:21 > 3:43:23I think a personable horse helps a bit.
3:43:23 > 3:43:25You're much more approachable on a horse.
3:43:25 > 3:43:28I found the difference, initially, when I joined the mounted branch,
3:43:28 > 3:43:31I couldn't believe how many people stopped and wanted to speak to you.
3:43:31 > 3:43:34If you go to an estate, you will get a crowd around you,
3:43:34 > 3:43:35just purely to pat the horse.
3:43:35 > 3:43:38Before they know it, they're talking to a police officer.
3:43:38 > 3:43:39This is where it all begins.
3:43:39 > 3:43:42Lots of the policemen who join the mounted force have not
3:43:42 > 3:43:44been on a horse before they start training.
3:43:44 > 3:43:4616 weeks later, the trust between police officer and horse
3:43:46 > 3:43:49is so great that they will even run through walls together.
3:43:49 > 3:43:51There's so much I can do on a horse.
3:43:51 > 3:43:54But this gives me a taste of what it is like.
3:43:54 > 3:43:55Jumping the fences, taking off their jackets,
3:43:55 > 3:44:05and having the trust to power through the final wall.
3:44:17 > 3:44:28I think you did well. Where's Charlie? He has gone outside. He's
3:44:28 > 3:44:44going to be the thing about prepping your car for winter. See you later.
3:44:59 > 3:45:03I welcome the prospect of moving ahead to the next phase to talk
3:45:03 > 3:45:08about trade and security and to discuss the positive and ambitious
3:45:08 > 3:45:12future relationship that is in all of our interests.Since the Brexit
3:45:12 > 3:45:19referendum, a year and a half has passed. So much time has been
3:45:19 > 3:45:24devoted to the easier part of the task and now to negotiate a
3:45:24 > 3:45:27transition arrangement and a framework for our future
3:45:27 > 3:45:35relationship, we have less than a year.That is what is happening in
3:45:35 > 3:45:42the future and negotiations will continue into phase two. I am joined
3:45:42 > 3:45:46by Ian and Nigel Baxter. They both used to work in the freight
3:45:46 > 3:45:53industry. The familiar outlook on business, but even though you are
3:45:53 > 3:46:02brothers, you have different views on Brexit. Who is remain? Ian? Yes.
3:46:02 > 3:46:14What we don't want to do is go into the reasons of four and again. Phase
3:46:14 > 3:46:21one seems to be over over Pence. Are you encouraged by this latest move?
3:46:21 > 3:46:29Absolutely. Theresa May has finally face the realities of Brexit. We
3:46:29 > 3:46:37have a deal on citizens rights, and the money side of things. We can't
3:46:37 > 3:46:42just leave without an arrangement. We are at the point where there will
3:46:42 > 3:46:48be a pragmatic solution to these issues.We have to accept the
3:46:48 > 3:46:53decision of the will of the people and you are embracing the process?
3:46:53 > 3:46:57Embracing it, but let us see where it goes. We have the charge what the
3:46:57 > 3:47:04deal looks like at the end of it and if it is in our interest.Nigel,
3:47:04 > 3:47:09this is what you wanted. He wanted Britain to leave the EU.Is it going
3:47:09 > 3:47:13how you expected? I've been disappointed with the progress we
3:47:13 > 3:47:21have made up until now and I have been very frustrated by the
3:47:21 > 3:47:24disharmony throughout the Conservative Party and British
3:47:24 > 3:47:28politics as a whole. I hoped that Britain would come together having
3:47:28 > 3:47:34made a decision and we will put a stronger voice really in Europe. We
3:47:34 > 3:47:39have looked disjointed. That said, we are making progress now which is
3:47:39 > 3:47:42to be welcomed. There are bits of it that I've perhaps would have
3:47:42 > 3:47:49preferred to have seen to be less complicated, but I'm happy we're
3:47:49 > 3:47:57moving forward.As business owners, what do want now?I work in European
3:47:57 > 3:48:00freight and it's important that we have pretty much the same method of
3:48:00 > 3:48:06trading with Europe in the future that we have today. So we do need
3:48:06 > 3:48:09that close alignment between the UK and the European Union. We just
3:48:09 > 3:48:13can't leave with no deal. There will be no way of operating between the
3:48:13 > 3:48:22UK and Europe. If we lead the financial market, our financial
3:48:22 > 3:48:27services market will be crucified overnight. We need a new
3:48:27 > 3:48:29arrangement, special partnership, that gives us many of the benefits
3:48:29 > 3:48:35we have in the past, accepting the fact that we have decided to leave
3:48:35 > 3:48:39and I qualify that by saying at the end we will have to take a judgment
3:48:39 > 3:48:43in Parliament as to whether we are happy with the deal. In principle we
3:48:43 > 3:48:48are leaving, but if we moved too far away from the European Union are
3:48:48 > 3:48:53businesses and jobs will suffer.How do you feel about that because you
3:48:53 > 3:48:57are keen to move away from the European Union?I am keen to see
3:48:57 > 3:49:08Britain with a -- as a sovereign country. A free trade agreement is
3:49:08 > 3:49:11paramount and if we can align ourselves alongside the European
3:49:11 > 3:49:19Union and work with them with strong cooperation, I will be satisfied.It
3:49:19 > 3:49:25has life in the Baxter household calmed down now the decision has
3:49:25 > 3:49:38been made?We have disagreed, Ian and I. There is a lot of mileage
3:49:38 > 3:49:43left in this.We have always argued about different things, but we do it
3:49:43 > 3:49:48in a friendly way and ultimately we come together as a family. It's
3:49:48 > 3:49:51Christmas. Where going to share food and drink over the weekend.As my
3:49:51 > 3:49:58mother says, disagree agreeably. Nigel, Ian, thank you very much for
3:49:58 > 3:50:06talking to us. Charlie is outside and we will talk to him in a moment.
3:50:06 > 3:50:09Stav, Charlie needs a scarf this morning, doesn't he?
3:50:15 > 3:50:24Jini needs a whole lot. It is cold. Further snow showers over Scotland.
3:50:24 > 3:50:29These are the pictures that have been coming in. Snow also in
3:50:29 > 3:50:33Shropshire and parts of Northern Ireland. Road conditions will be
3:50:33 > 3:50:40treacherous weather has been snow. There will be ice, so watch out for
3:50:40 > 3:50:47that. Snow showers across northern Scotland, north-west England and
3:50:47 > 3:50:50Northern Ireland. Elsewhere, a fine and dry afternoon. It will stay
3:50:50 > 3:50:57sunny for most of us. A really cold day, but at least the winds will not
3:50:57 > 3:51:01be as strong as yesterday. Snow showers continuing across some
3:51:01 > 3:51:06northern and western areas, but we are concerned about the rain pushing
3:51:06 > 3:51:11in from the south-west. As it bumps into the cold air, northern England
3:51:11 > 3:51:17will turn to heavy snow. The Met office have an amber be prepared
3:51:17 > 3:51:23warning for this. We could see between ten and 20 centimetres. That
3:51:23 > 3:51:28is a lot of snow for the UK. Treacherous conditions on the road,
3:51:28 > 3:51:32you will need to keep checking the weather forecast if you need to head
3:51:32 > 3:51:37out. The snow will ease down, turning back the rain and milder air
3:51:37 > 3:51:41pushes in from the south. Another hazard into the afternoon with
3:51:41 > 3:51:50severe gales and blustery showers. Eight or 9 degrees, much colder
3:51:50 > 3:51:56further north. For Scotland and Northern Ireland, a fine drive day.
3:51:56 > 3:52:00The low-pressure clears and the storm that will batter parts of
3:52:00 > 3:52:06France could bring disruption to the south of the UK, particularly south,
3:52:06 > 3:52:13south-eastern parts. It could be wet and windy, but elsewhere, lots of
3:52:13 > 3:52:18sunshine a very cold. Things calmed down on Tuesday with the
3:52:18 > 3:52:22low-pressure moving away. Dry, sunny and cold for most of us. With the
3:52:22 > 3:52:27wintry weather and snow in the forecast, highway officials are
3:52:27 > 3:52:31urging people to check road conditions. It's also worth checking
3:52:31 > 3:52:36your car, prepping it for this cold weather. I'll hand you back to
3:52:36 > 3:52:41Charlie who has headed outside to brave the cold.
3:52:45 > 3:52:54They have sent me outdoors. This is sleep and it's very cold. A lot of
3:52:54 > 3:53:00places are struggling with low temperatures. That is a new survey
3:53:00 > 3:53:06out today talking about how poorly we think about what we do in our
3:53:06 > 3:53:11cars and how prepared we are. Let us be to Sabrina Webb. You have been
3:53:11 > 3:53:15looking at what people get up to in winter in relation to prepare
3:53:15 > 3:53:25requests were icy conditions.Our research shows that about a quarter
3:53:25 > 3:53:28of motorists don't slow down deep enough distance between them and the
3:53:28 > 3:53:34vehicle in front of them. It's important to de-ice your vehicle
3:53:34 > 3:53:41properly. All the windows and wing mirrors. Any snow on roof should be
3:53:41 > 3:53:48removed. Don't leave your car unattended when it is warming up. If
3:53:48 > 3:53:53you do, it could invalidate any insurance claims.There are
3:53:53 > 3:53:57insurance implications around a lot of those.If you leave your car
3:53:57 > 3:54:08unattended, it's likely it might not be covered.Let's have a closer
3:54:08 > 3:54:21look. We have a park here. Patrick Reilly, a motor recovery operative,
3:54:21 > 3:54:25fax or coming down. Let's talk through some practical tips. Do you
3:54:25 > 3:54:31want to stop at the front of the car first and we will follow you around.
3:54:31 > 3:54:36It's icy, what do you look out for. Make sure the screens are clear and
3:54:36 > 3:54:44you can see where you are going.You have a cover on here, but a lot of
3:54:44 > 3:54:48people haven't got one or haven't thought about it or don't think it's
3:54:48 > 3:54:54necessary. If you don't have one and you are all iced up, what do you do?
3:54:54 > 3:55:03Get a brush or a plastic shovel and clear your screen. A credit card?
3:55:03 > 3:55:08No, it's too small and you might break your credit card.That is the
3:55:08 > 3:55:18kind of thing that you could do, but prepare red mess is the point.
3:55:21 > 3:55:34You are one of these people who are super prepared a new house staff in
3:55:34 > 3:55:40your boot.We do with people who have broken down following a crash
3:55:40 > 3:55:54of the core malfunction.So would you put your shopping? If everything
3:55:54 > 3:56:04is around, there is room.A folding shovel, first Ed Cape, screen wash,
3:56:04 > 3:56:11spare bits and gloves.Stay warm and dry. You even have food.Is that
3:56:11 > 3:56:18your packed lunch? It is.My wife prepared it for me earlier.Would
3:56:18 > 3:56:24you normally carry that around? If I am going a long distance I would. If
3:56:24 > 3:56:29you get stuck in a car with no engine, you have no heating and you
3:56:29 > 3:56:33will get cold very quickly and you have to prepare for it.It's not the
3:56:33 > 3:56:36most serious issue of the day, but what will be the choice of sandwich
3:56:36 > 3:56:46or item to take in the event of being caught in an icy situation?
3:56:46 > 3:56:58Ham and tomato, definitely. There you go. Thank you very much. You
3:56:58 > 3:57:02will be cheese and pickle, wouldn't you, Charlie? Every time. Every
3:57:02 > 3:57:10time. I know him well. Thank you very much. We are nearly at the end
3:57:10 > 3:57:19of the programme, we have, well I don't know if it is a treat, but we
3:57:19 > 3:57:25are all being encouraged to sing a little bit more.
3:57:25 > 3:57:27Whether it's Christmas carols round the fire or welcoming
3:57:27 > 3:57:30in the New Year with a hearty rendition of Auld Lang Syne,
3:57:30 > 3:57:32the festive season is a time when even the most reluctant
3:57:32 > 3:57:34performer might well give singing a whirl!
3:57:34 > 3:57:37All next week, we'll be investigating this in more detail
3:57:37 > 3:57:40and we'll be joining Dan, Lou, Mike and Steph to perform
3:57:40 > 3:57:41in a concert on Wednesday night.
3:57:41 > 3:57:45So as preparation, we've called on some famous faces
3:57:45 > 3:57:46SINGING WARM-UP NOISES.
3:57:46 > 3:57:48Why is Lou's deeper than mine?
3:57:48 > 3:57:49Ahhh.
3:57:49 > 3:57:50Ahhh.
3:57:50 > 3:57:51You can't ahhh, do that?
3:57:51 > 3:57:52Mmm, ahh.
3:57:52 > 3:57:54Ah no, vibration when you go up.
3:57:54 > 3:57:55What are the dos and don'ts?
3:57:55 > 3:57:57Well, if you are doing a little gospel music,
3:57:57 > 3:58:01one thing is to make sure you have, you keep a rhythm in your body.
3:58:01 > 3:58:02HE SINGS A SCALE.
3:58:02 > 3:58:03Can do you do that?
3:58:03 > 3:58:04HE SINGS A SCALE.
3:58:04 > 3:58:05Mmmmmmmm.
3:58:05 > 3:58:06Ahhhhhhh.
3:58:06 > 3:58:13And just keep the vibration going.
