0:00:04 > 0:00:11Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15Big changes could be on the way to organ donor rules.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18In future, people may have to opt out of the transplant

0:00:18 > 0:00:18register in England.

0:00:18 > 0:00:23Health chiefs say it will help save lives.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Good morning.

0:00:32 > 0:00:38It's Tuesday, December 12.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Also this morning: Four people have been arrested on suspicion of murder

0:00:41 > 0:00:46after three children died in a house fire in Salford.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49It's offically been the coldest night of the year.

0:00:49 > 0:00:57Temperatures plummeted to -13 in Shropshire.

0:00:57 > 0:01:02And that leads us into a cold day, but mostly dry one, with some

0:01:02 > 0:01:06sunshine for much of the UK, when we lose the freezing fog patches this

0:01:06 > 0:01:09morning, but later wet and windy conditions return from the west.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Good morning.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13There's a growing shortage of lorry drivers on our roads -

0:01:13 > 0:01:15particularly at this time of year.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm looking at how online shopping is affecting the jobs market.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21In sport, the fallout from the Manchester derby goes on.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23The FA have asked United and City for observations

0:01:23 > 0:01:26after their post-match bust-up, which left City coach Mikel Arteta

0:01:26 > 0:01:29injured when he was hit by a plastic bottle.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Good morning.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34First, our main story.

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Just gone 6am.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38A radical change to the rules around organ donation in England

0:01:38 > 0:01:40is being unveiled today, as ministers launch a consultation

0:01:40 > 0:01:42on moving to a system of presumed consent.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45The reform would mean opting out of being a donor,

0:01:45 > 0:01:47rather than the current scheme of opting in.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Wales has already taken that approach, and the Scottish

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Government is planning to introduce a similar scheme.

0:01:52 > 0:01:58Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03Offering a stranger the gift of life is what lies at the heart of organ

0:02:03 > 0:02:06donation. These are the names of those who have helped some of the

0:02:06 > 0:02:11six and a half thousand people who need transplant each year but around

0:02:11 > 0:02:16450 will die before a donor can be found. The family of Adrian Williams

0:02:16 > 0:02:21were happy to support his decision to donate.When you lose someone and

0:02:21 > 0:02:25they have given that gift, that huge gift, you are immensely proud of

0:02:25 > 0:02:30them and it fills you with comfort that other families are enjoying the

0:02:30 > 0:02:34lives of their loved ones where they may not have done because of

0:02:34 > 0:02:41something that our Ade has done for them.The last decade has seen a

0:02:41 > 0:02:49surge in donors across the UK. In 2007 there were around 790 deceased

0:02:49 > 0:02:53donors, rising to 1400. The number of registered donors has gone up

0:02:53 > 0:02:58from 14 million to more than 23 million. Ministers are concerned

0:02:58 > 0:03:03that four out of ten families say no to donation. So they are proposing a

0:03:03 > 0:03:07system it is assumed we are all willing to be donors.The issue of

0:03:07 > 0:03:12presumed consent is one thing we are looking at. What we need is much

0:03:12 > 0:03:14better communication with families so people know what family members

0:03:14 > 0:03:19want.There are some concerns moving to a system where there is an

0:03:19 > 0:03:24assumption we are willing to donate could be counter-productive, I'm

0:03:24 > 0:03:28doing the good work of recent years by raising fears over the government

0:03:28 > 0:03:31having a claim on our organs -- undoing.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Four people are being questioned on suspicion of murder,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37after three children died in a house fire in Salford early yesterday.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Their mother and another three-year-old child remain

0:03:39 > 0:03:40in a critical condition.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45Our correspondent Dave Guest is live at the scene.

0:03:45 > 0:03:53Good morning, Dave. What more can you tell us?Good morning. Yes,

0:03:53 > 0:03:57well, just over 24 hours ago fire crews came to the street in Greater

0:03:57 > 0:04:03Manchester to find a terrace house ablaze. And mother and four children

0:04:03 > 0:04:08were trapped inside. They were rescued. Sadly, a 14-year-old girl

0:04:08 > 0:04:15known locally as Demmi, a girl of seven and a boy of eight found in

0:04:15 > 0:04:18hospital. Their mother Michelle is fighting for her life in hospital,

0:04:18 > 0:04:23as is a three-year-old girl. What appeared to be a tragedy at first

0:04:23 > 0:04:27became something more sinister, when the police announced they had

0:04:27 > 0:04:32launched a murder investigation. As you say, overnight four people have

0:04:32 > 0:04:36been arrested on suspicion of murder and if it has been arrested on

0:04:36 > 0:04:41suspicion of assisting an offender. -- and a fifth person has been

0:04:41 > 0:04:44arrested. The community came to the local church to light candles and

0:04:44 > 0:04:48say prayers in memory of those died and to pray for those fighting for

0:04:48 > 0:04:51their lives.Thank you for that this morning.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Icy conditions are expected to cause further disruption to road and rail

0:04:54 > 0:04:56travel in parts of the UK, following another night

0:04:56 > 0:04:58of sub-zero temperatures.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01The Met Office has extended yellow warnings for snow and ice

0:05:01 > 0:05:04until later this morning and the AA has warned driving

0:05:04 > 0:05:05could be hazardous.

0:05:05 > 0:05:11Hundreds of schools will stay closed for a second successive day.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14And Carol will have a fall round up of the weather

0:05:14 > 0:05:18in a few minutes' time.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23And throughout the morning we will have a good look at that.I want to

0:05:23 > 0:05:27know what the temperatures are. I was disappointed with minus five. I

0:05:27 > 0:05:34was hoping for minus 12.You want to double figures.Just interesting.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Carol will have the details for you later. Take care.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40The Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb

0:05:40 > 0:05:42explosion next to the city's busiest bus station as an isolated

0:05:42 > 0:05:43attempted terrorist attack.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46The suspect, who was injured in the blast, is a 27-year-old

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Bangladeshi who moved to the United States six years ago.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52President Trump said it showed the need for Congress to toughen

0:05:52 > 0:05:58immigration policy.

0:05:58 > 0:06:03This attack underscores the need for Congress to work with the President

0:06:03 > 0:06:07on immigration reforms that in Hants our national security and public

0:06:07 > 0:06:10safety. We must protect our borders and ensure individuals entering our

0:06:10 > 0:06:15country a not coming to do harm to our people and we must move to a

0:06:15 > 0:06:17merit-based system of immigration.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20An influential American think tank is warning that the British economy

0:06:20 > 0:06:25is likely to be weakened by Brexit, even if the UK agrees a new trade

0:06:25 > 0:06:26deal with the EU.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29A report from the Rand Corporation, which is part-funded by the US

0:06:29 > 0:06:31government, says almost all trading relationships after March 2019

0:06:31 > 0:06:34will be worse than Britain's current membership of the EU.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Offering new mothers cash incentives could significantly increase

0:06:36 > 0:06:38breast-feeding rates according to a new study.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41More than 10,000 new mums were offered shopping vouchers worth

0:06:41 > 0:06:44up to £120 if babies received breast milk at two days,

0:06:44 > 0:06:45ten days and six weeks old.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48A further £80 of vouchers was available if they continued

0:06:48 > 0:06:50to receive breast milk up to six months.

0:06:50 > 0:06:57Adina Campbell reports.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Breast-feeding the newest member of the Sutcliffe family

0:06:59 > 0:07:02is a lot easier a second time around but,

0:07:02 > 0:07:03after Fiona's first daughter was born,

0:07:03 > 0:07:05she was spurred on by shopping vouchers

0:07:05 > 0:07:09during the toughest moments.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11It is really encouraged me to keep going,

0:07:11 > 0:07:13especially when the night was quite difficult

0:07:13 > 0:07:15and I thought about giving up breast-feeding

0:07:15 > 0:07:17and that was another incentive to keep going,

0:07:17 > 0:07:25and especially given it's so easy to sort of claim the vouchers.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Fiona was one of more than 10,000 mums who took part in a study

0:07:29 > 0:07:29over 18 months.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32They were offered up to £200 in shopping vouchers

0:07:32 > 0:07:34at five different stages of breast-feeding.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37£40 at two days old and the same amount at ten days,

0:07:37 > 0:07:39six weeks, three months and six months.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Before getting the vouchers, claimed forms were signed off

0:07:41 > 0:07:43by midwives or health visitors during visits.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Overall, the breast-feeding rates went up by 6%,

0:07:45 > 0:07:57which researchers believe is a big difference.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59We do know that biologically and physiologically,

0:07:59 > 0:08:00we are designed to breast-feed.

0:08:00 > 0:08:11We know that 99% of women, given the right support, can breastfeed.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15There are plenty of benefits to breast-feeding

0:08:15 > 0:08:17but these mums in Sheffield have mixed views

0:08:17 > 0:08:20about being paid to do it.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I don't think, you know, it should really be monetary.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28And I think some people might get persuaded just because of the money.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30If you can't do it, it's fine, too.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33But, yeah, having an incentive wiill definitely help

0:08:33 > 0:08:34and just get the message out there.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38The UK has some of the lowest breast-feeding rates in the world.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Researchers say vouchers are a small price to pay

0:08:40 > 0:08:42with long-term benefits to babies and the NHS.

0:08:42 > 0:08:48Adina Campbell, BBC News.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50More on that a little later.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Now, you might remember yesterday you were sending in your fabulous

0:08:53 > 0:08:56snow pictures, but I'm afraid you've all been outdone,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58because just look at this.

0:08:58 > 0:09:06You were dismissing it.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08People have been sending pictures of it.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Why build a snowman when an igloo is so much better?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14It took Benjamin Crutch from Redditch eight hours to make

0:09:14 > 0:09:15the igloo, using 500 snow bricks.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19He built it in his girlfriend's garden and it looks like everybody

0:09:19 > 0:09:20enjoyed it - even the dog.

0:09:20 > 0:09:28That is epic. Should it ever happen again, but it probably won't that I

0:09:28 > 0:09:36would have enough snow in my garden, I will genuinely try.Go home, get

0:09:36 > 0:09:40out the plastic bag.The snow changed text yesterday.Don't come

0:09:40 > 0:09:46with your excuses.On the first day, it was easy to pack, but yesterday

0:09:46 > 0:09:54it was Sandy.I have a story today...I am infuriated.Do you

0:09:54 > 0:10:02know that the man flu exists. LAUGHTER. It does, there is proper

0:10:02 > 0:10:07scientific research. I will talk about it later on. Honestly. Listen,

0:10:07 > 0:10:11the headline, this doctor concluded the idea of men exaggerating the

0:10:11 > 0:10:17symptoms of the flu was potentially unjust...Potentially!And man flu

0:10:17 > 0:10:24was a fact.Potentially.This is a huge development in medical science.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28We will speak with a professor of serology later.Excellent. Good

0:10:28 > 0:10:32morning. Changing the subject.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36United and City are blaming eachother and the FA have asked both

0:10:36 > 0:10:38clubs for their observations about the tunnel row,

0:10:38 > 0:10:41which left Mikel Arteta injured, when he was hit by a plastic bottle.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Look at that.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Milk and water were thrown at United manager Jose Mourinho,

0:10:45 > 0:10:47after City's win at Old Trafford.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Both Manchester clubs and Liverpool got favourable ties in yesterday's

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Champions League draw.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53But Chelsea will face five-time winners Barcelona,

0:10:53 > 0:10:54and Tottenham take on Juventus.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Saracens are caught cold in the Champions Cup.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59They were heavily beaten by Clermont Auvergne in a match

0:10:59 > 0:11:05rearranged because of snow.

0:11:05 > 0:11:11It was Sarries first European defeat for two and a half years.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14And Jonny Bairstow tells us that despite all of England's on and off

0:11:14 > 0:11:17the field problems during the Ashes tour so far, they can

0:11:17 > 0:11:18still get things right.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Did you like the way I completely distracted from that nonsense that

0:11:21 > 0:11:27we were talking about earlier?It was a few months ago I had about a

0:11:27 > 0:11:31man flu, I did manage to come through it.You were making a fuss.

0:11:31 > 0:11:37I didn't even talk about it.You did!UK me to work with man flu.

0:11:37 > 0:11:44Some people just have to soldier on, do you know what I mean, dig deep?I

0:11:44 > 0:11:51wouldn't know!At what point shall I talk about the man flu?I get the

0:11:51 > 0:11:55feeling that you are going to talk about it all day.Let's do the front

0:11:55 > 0:12:02pages. Horrible news about... Lots of the papers have Keith Chegwin,

0:12:02 > 0:12:08who dies at the age of 60. We will reflect on this later on. So many

0:12:08 > 0:12:12beautiful tributes to what a nice man he was. And so many generations

0:12:12 > 0:12:16people used to wake up with him in the morning.And recently, if you

0:12:16 > 0:12:21followed him on Twitter, at this time of day he was sent out a joke.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25You used to laugh at his jokes in the morning.I laughed at them every

0:12:25 > 0:12:29day.And Brexit is good news for us all, bullish May says we will

0:12:29 > 0:12:34benefit from the deal with Brussels. This is interesting in the Guardian,

0:12:34 > 0:12:40talking about Grenfell and the families called to be heard, we know

0:12:40 > 0:12:43there is a public enquiry of course starting, and a really interesting

0:12:43 > 0:12:48story, can you see this object, it has come from interstellar space,

0:12:48 > 0:12:51apparently, and astronomers will use one of the largest telescopes to

0:12:51 > 0:12:56check and mysterious object which is speeding through the solar system,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59looking for signs of alien technology, they will listen to it

0:12:59 > 0:13:03today and they think it is an extraordinary object and they really

0:13:03 > 0:13:07don't know much about it so they will try to find out what it is.OK.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11We are talking about the Mayor of New York Bill De Blasio and this is

0:13:11 > 0:13:15what was happening, the bomb injured under the underpass after detonating

0:13:15 > 0:13:19a home-made pipe-bomb and the main story is passengers denied cheap

0:13:19 > 0:13:25Christmas rail tickets.I am sure that Steph will talk about it.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30Theresa May talking about web giants, social media giants facing

0:13:30 > 0:13:34fines or prosecution for failing to remove racist, extremist or child

0:13:34 > 0:13:43sex abuse content, and Dame Helen Mirren in the Leisure Seeker, one of

0:13:43 > 0:13:4712 nominees for the Golden Globe award.The front of the Daily Mirror

0:13:47 > 0:13:52with Keith Chegwin, even when he needed an oxygen tank, he was and

0:13:52 > 0:13:58soul of the party, and it is colder than Moscow. Road, rail and air

0:13:58 > 0:14:04misery as temperatures plummet to a five-year low of -15, -5 at outside

0:14:04 > 0:14:09the Minchin household last night.-4 outside mine.Cold temperatures can

0:14:09 > 0:14:14really accelerate the man flu.I thought it might.I will give you

0:14:14 > 0:14:18some more details. And don't go on for ages because I need time.Why

0:14:18 > 0:14:23are you looking at me?Just keep talking.Whatever happens, we need

0:14:23 > 0:14:27to talk about the research.I am starting chapter one of my long

0:14:27 > 0:14:31story. LAUGHTER There it is an interesting

0:14:31 > 0:14:35story in the Daily Mail about cash machine.I have talked about bank

0:14:35 > 0:14:40closures across various towns. They are saying here that now pubs and

0:14:40 > 0:14:45small shops could lose up to 1500 free cash machines because of a

0:14:45 > 0:14:49dispute over fees. So apparently banks are demanding a reduction in

0:14:49 > 0:14:54the levy they pay when customers use the cash machines run by the

0:14:54 > 0:14:58independent operators and they are arguing about it. And in the story

0:14:58 > 0:15:01they talk about Lynton in North Devon where there are no cash

0:15:01 > 0:15:07machines at all, which is a nightmare for tourists.

0:15:07 > 0:15:18Shall I do U? Bear with me as I get the back page ready. -- shall I do

0:15:18 > 0:15:23chapter two.This could make a real difference to the nation. Sally?Are

0:15:23 > 0:15:28you done? Back page of the Mail, everyone is talking about whatever

0:15:28 > 0:15:32happened in the tunnel at Old Trafford the other day. Mikel

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Arteta, who apparently was hit by a bottle, going into training

0:15:35 > 0:15:40yesterday he made the clever move of doing that. How many times have we

0:15:40 > 0:15:44walked into work just doing that but he's obviously trying to hide some

0:15:44 > 0:15:48kind of injury that happened to his face. I don't think that's the best

0:15:48 > 0:15:51thing you could do because it is clear something has happened. The

0:15:51 > 0:15:55papers have gone into great detail about what might have happened in

0:15:55 > 0:16:00the tunnel, where the home and away dressing rooms are, and one of the

0:16:00 > 0:16:04things Jo is a didn't like about Manchester City was they played

0:16:04 > 0:16:10their music too loud -- Jose Mourinho didn't like. The Manchester

0:16:10 > 0:16:14United players could hear the Manchester City players celebrating.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18I love the diagrams, who was standing were.What's frustrating,

0:16:18 > 0:16:24here we are again, not talking about the way United played, we are

0:16:24 > 0:16:30talking about Jose Mourinho. Distraction techniques!I really

0:16:30 > 0:16:36feel this is important news, because for years women have been saying man

0:16:36 > 0:16:40flu doesn't exist, men should get on and carry on and not talk about the

0:16:40 > 0:16:48fact that...I hate to say it, man up!There's medical evidence, many

0:16:48 > 0:16:52acute respiratory diseases men are more susceptible to convocation is

0:16:52 > 0:16:56four and had a higher mortality rate. The study also found some

0:16:56 > 0:16:59evidence supporting the claim men suffer more from viral respiratory

0:16:59 > 0:17:06illness because of a less robust immune system.Hang on, our women

0:17:06 > 0:17:10stronger than men, is that the conclusion?The conclusion is you

0:17:10 > 0:17:14need to have more sympathy for a Manuel he is suffering... Can I

0:17:14 > 0:17:23finish -- for a man when he is suffering. It is all potentially

0:17:23 > 0:17:30unjust and man flu, will write it down, man flu was a fact. -- I'll

0:17:30 > 0:17:36write it down.A biologist is saying I don't think there's any evidence

0:17:36 > 0:17:39men suffer worse symptoms than women when it comes to colds or viral

0:17:39 > 0:17:46illnesses.I refer you to the Canadian organisation that said that

0:17:46 > 0:17:50man flu is a fact.We will be talking about this later! Do you

0:17:50 > 0:17:55want to go and have a lie down?We are finished now. Like many men

0:17:55 > 0:17:59around the nation I'm going to soldier on and get on with it!It's

0:17:59 > 0:18:04a tough light! -- life.

0:18:04 > 0:18:11Do Christmas cracker jokes make you grin or make you groan?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Can somebody get me a hot towel?

0:18:13 > 0:18:16The UKTV channel Gold has unveiled the winner of its annual competition

0:18:16 > 0:18:19to find the best modern take on that staple

0:18:19 > 0:18:20of the Christmas dinner table.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22And here it is.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Why was Theresa May sacked as Nativity manager?

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I don't know.

0:18:27 > 0:18:32She couldn't run a stable government.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Tumbleweed.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36We asked revellers in Manchester to tell us some others

0:18:36 > 0:18:40from the shortlist, as well as a couple of their own.

0:18:40 > 0:18:57What does Santa get when he gets stuck in the chimney?

0:18:57 > 0:19:01Clausetraphobia. Where does Jeremy Corbyn hang his stockings? On the

0:19:01 > 0:19:18far left.How does a snowman get to school? He rides his bicicles.

0:19:25 > 0:19:30Thank you for those. We will be talking about Christmas jokes later.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37The cold weather can really accelerate man flu, that's the big

0:19:37 > 0:19:38news this morning.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Moving

0:19:39 > 0:19:44Moving on! We have just had the coldest night of the calendar year

0:19:44 > 0:19:47so far, the Calders night of the winter in Shropshire, the

0:19:47 > 0:19:52temperature fell to -13 and the last time we had levels like this was

0:19:52 > 0:19:582014 and we had -14 -- coldest night. You can see from this

0:19:58 > 0:20:02beautiful Weather Watchers pictures sent in from mid Wales yesterday,

0:20:02 > 0:20:08lovely sunshine but lying snow. -- picture. We have that today and

0:20:08 > 0:20:12these are the temperatures in the countryside, there's the -13 in

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Shropshire. This morning a cold and frosty start and freezing fog

0:20:16 > 0:20:20patches slow to clear so if you're travelling, bear that in mind and

0:20:20 > 0:20:25still lying slow around, still quite frozen, had to scrape the car first

0:20:25 > 0:20:30thing and it took ages, it was thick -- lying snow. A lot of coldweather

0:20:30 > 0:20:35first thing, watch out for the highs but sunshine from the word go and

0:20:35 > 0:20:40freezing fog patches dotted around. Slow to clear. More cloud coming in

0:20:40 > 0:20:43around at times in south-west England and some showers in west

0:20:43 > 0:20:47Wales and here we have freezing fog patches but in between, a fair bit

0:20:47 > 0:20:51of sunshine. North-west England getting off to a cold and frosty

0:20:51 > 0:20:55start with sunshine and the same in Northern Ireland but here the cloud

0:20:55 > 0:20:59will build through the day, as it will across western Scotland. But

0:20:59 > 0:21:05for now a lot of clearer skies, cold, especially in the countryside,

0:21:05 > 0:21:09especially where we still have lying snow and the same in north-east

0:21:09 > 0:21:14England, again, a cold and frosty is to the day with the risk of ice on

0:21:14 > 0:21:17untreated surfaces. Through the day there will be a lot of beautiful

0:21:17 > 0:21:22winter sunshine, a cracking day, but in the west of the cloud will

0:21:22 > 0:21:25thicken and we will see outbreaks of rain and also it will turn windier

0:21:25 > 0:21:29with snow in the hills of Scotland, Northern Ireland and also north

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Wales, Sabrina north-west England later as well. Through the evening

0:21:33 > 0:21:38and overnight, this band of rain preceded by hill snow moves from the

0:21:38 > 0:21:44west towards the south-east -- possibly north-west England later as

0:21:44 > 0:21:50well. Another weather front coming, bringing more snow into Scotland.

0:21:50 > 0:21:56Look at the change in the temperatures, no sign of -13. But

0:21:56 > 0:22:00this is towns and cities, in rural areas with lying snow, the

0:22:00 > 0:22:03temperatures will be lower than that. As we head through Wednesday,

0:22:03 > 0:22:07we have this weather front coming from the west, introducing more

0:22:07 > 0:22:12rain, still quite windy conditions and squally conditions with cold air

0:22:12 > 0:22:16following behind so a dry and bright start them our weather front sinks

0:22:16 > 0:22:21south, taking showery outbreaks of rain, some will be heavy. Colder air

0:22:21 > 0:22:25follows in, some sunshine and then we see an increase in some snow

0:22:25 > 0:22:30showers. Some will be in low levels, initially in Scotland and Northern

0:22:30 > 0:22:34Ireland, but still we don't know how far the snow will get to low levels

0:22:34 > 0:22:37but something to watch, possibly through north Wales and north-west

0:22:37 > 0:22:41England for the rush hour we could see more at low levels. We're

0:22:41 > 0:22:47keeping a close eye on that.Thanks, Carol, thanks for keeping us up to

0:22:47 > 0:22:50date and we will speak to you in half an hour.

0:22:50 > 0:22:56Nearly six months on from the fire at Grenfell Tower,

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Kensington and Chelsea Council says it's leading the biggest

0:22:58 > 0:23:01house-purchasing programme by any local authority in recent history.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03It's promising to make 300 new properties

0:23:03 > 0:23:04available by Christmas,

0:23:04 > 0:23:07but so far just 45 of the 208 families have moved into permanent

0:23:07 > 0:23:10homes, and many are expected to still be in temporary

0:23:10 > 0:23:11accommodation over the festive period.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Our reporter Frankie McCamley has been given access to some

0:23:14 > 0:23:24of the new properties available to residents.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25So this is a 2-bedroom

0:23:25 > 0:23:28So this is a 2-bedroom flat we've acquired this week. It's going on

0:23:28 > 0:23:32the website. This is just one of the new council

0:23:32 > 0:23:36properties bought for people who lost their homes because of the fire

0:23:36 > 0:23:39at Grenfell Tower.Typically you would either have a couple, who

0:23:39 > 0:23:43would have had a 2-bedroom flat at Grenfell Tower, or you'd have a

0:23:43 > 0:23:48couple with a child, a single child for a second bedroom.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53Of the 208 households, 45 have so far moved into permanent homes.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58Just over three miles from Grenfell Tower, this is one of 70 2-bedroom

0:23:58 > 0:24:03properties the council are buying. It hopes to acquire 300 by

0:24:03 > 0:24:09Christmas, spending 235 and pounds. The pace has been very slow, but

0:24:09 > 0:24:14equally, you know, we have been gathering information as far as what

0:24:14 > 0:24:18people want but we stress we always run at the pace of the individual,

0:24:18 > 0:24:22we don't run at our pace or set a dictation saying people must be out

0:24:22 > 0:24:26at a certain time.But many don't think they will be in these

0:24:26 > 0:24:32permanent homes any time soon. Hi, Thiago. How are you doing? This is

0:24:32 > 0:24:38your room, this is your home?Yeah. Basically keep my shoes, some

0:24:38 > 0:24:45trousers that people have given me. This is basically your kitchen...

0:24:45 > 0:24:49After escaping from the 13th floor of Grenfell Tower, Thiago theirs has

0:24:49 > 0:24:53lived in this hotel for nearly six months.My toiletries, there's not

0:24:53 > 0:24:59much to say...He's now waiting for a 1-bedroom council flat.I don't

0:24:59 > 0:25:03really feel at home here, this is basically a place for me to sleep.

0:25:03 > 0:25:08You can't make a home out of a hotel. I applied for about 15

0:25:08 > 0:25:13properties permanently and I've not had the opportunity to go and see

0:25:13 > 0:25:18any of the properties. Now, the reason for that is there's a

0:25:18 > 0:25:21priority listing, to which I completely understand, there's

0:25:21 > 0:25:26people that need this house more than made but the way he is trying

0:25:26 > 0:25:30to say we're trying to allow people to go at their own pace, that's not

0:25:30 > 0:25:33the case, I haven't been offered a permanent property at all, I haven't

0:25:33 > 0:25:37been allowed to see any permanent properties.What happens when you

0:25:37 > 0:25:41apply and apply and you get no response?It seems like they care

0:25:41 > 0:25:47more about me as a number than me as an individual. It's all very formal,

0:25:47 > 0:25:53almost like them being cold. They really don't care. They care more

0:25:53 > 0:25:56about their public image than they do about actually helping the people

0:25:56 > 0:26:02who have gone through such a large trauma.The council has now given

0:26:02 > 0:26:07Tiago a temporary home and it says it's working around the clock but

0:26:07 > 0:26:10rehousing breathed and those with children are its priority. Tiago is

0:26:10 > 0:26:14looking forward to getting out of here before Christmas. Word Frankie

0:26:14 > 0:26:17McCamley, BBC News.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21It's officially been the coldest night of the year so far so lots of

0:26:21 > 0:29:40people waking up with

0:29:40 > 0:29:47freezing out there at the moment! Dasha wrap up warm. -- wrap up warm.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

0:29:49 > 0:29:51in half an hour.

0:29:51 > 0:29:51Bye for now.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

0:29:59 > 0:30:01but also on Breakfast this morning.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Women have accused men of milking it for years,

0:30:03 > 0:30:08but it turns out man flu may be a thing after all.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Crucial news.

0:30:10 > 0:30:23We'll be getting a second opinion with some medical experts.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27You're the one that I want.

0:30:27 > 0:30:30For everyone who grew up in the '80s Keith Chegwin was part

0:30:30 > 0:30:31of their childhood.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34We'll be getting more tributes to the entertainer who's died

0:30:34 > 0:30:35at the age of 60.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37And it's the Strictly final this weekend.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40Former head judge Len Goodman will be here to give us his verdict

0:30:40 > 0:30:43on this year's competitors and, of course, his successor,

0:30:43 > 0:30:43Shirley.

0:30:43 > 0:30:44Good morning.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50A radical change to the rules around organ donation in England

0:30:50 > 0:30:52is being unveiled today, as ministers launch a consultation

0:30:52 > 0:30:54on moving to a system of presumed consent.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57The reform would mean opting out of being a donor,

0:30:57 > 0:30:59rather than the current scheme of opting in.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Wales has already taken that approach, and the Scottish

0:31:02 > 0:31:12Government is planning to introduce a similar scheme.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Temperatures of -13 have been recorded in Shropshire on the

0:31:15 > 0:31:19coldest night of the year so far.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22The Met Office has extended yellow warnings for snow and ice

0:31:22 > 0:31:25until later this morning and the AA has warned driving

0:31:25 > 0:31:25could be hazardous.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28Hundreds of schools will stay closed for a second successive day.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31And Carol will have a fall round up of the weather

0:31:31 > 0:31:33in a few minutes' time.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Four people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after three

0:31:36 > 0:31:38children died in a house fire in Salford, Greater Manchester,

0:31:38 > 0:31:40in the early hours of Monday morning.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42A 14-year-old girl, named locally as Demi Pearson,

0:31:42 > 0:31:46was pronounced dead at the scene, and an eight-year-old boy and a girl

0:31:46 > 0:31:50aged seven died in hospital.

0:31:50 > 0:31:51Their mother, named as Michelle Pearson,

0:31:51 > 0:31:54and a three year old are still in a serious condition.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58A vigil was held for the victims last night.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02The Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb

0:32:02 > 0:32:05explosion next to the city's busiest bus station as an isolated

0:32:05 > 0:32:05attempted terrorist attack.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09The suspect, who was injured in the blast, is a 27-year-old

0:32:09 > 0:32:11Bangladeshi who moved to the United States six years ago.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14President Trump said it showed the need for Congress to toughen

0:32:14 > 0:32:20immigration policy.

0:32:20 > 0:32:26This attack underscores the need for Congress to work

0:32:26 > 0:32:29with the President on immigration reforms that enhance our national

0:32:29 > 0:32:34security and public safety.

0:32:34 > 0:32:38We must protect our borders, we must ensure that individuals

0:32:38 > 0:32:42entering our country are not coming to do harm to our people and we must

0:32:42 > 0:32:44move to a merit-based system of immigration.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47An influential American think tank is warning that the British economy

0:32:47 > 0:32:51is likely to be weakened by Brexit, even if the UK agrees a new trade

0:32:51 > 0:32:52deal with the EU.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56A report from the Rand Corporation, which is part-funded by the US

0:32:56 > 0:32:58government, says almost all trading relationships after March 2019

0:32:58 > 0:33:03will be worse than Britain's current membership of the EU.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05Research suggests offering shopping vouchers to new mothers can

0:33:05 > 0:33:07encourage them to breastfeed their babies.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09About 10,000 new mums in Yorkshire, Derbyshire

0:33:09 > 0:33:13and Nottinghamshire were offered up to £200 in vouchers as an incentive.

0:33:13 > 0:33:14Breast-feeding rates increased in these areas,

0:33:14 > 0:33:16which typically have low uptake.

0:33:16 > 0:33:22Breast-feeding levels in the UK are some of the lowest in the world.

0:33:22 > 0:33:30One of the most destructive wildfires in California's history

0:33:30 > 0:33:34- we talked about this yesterday - is heading towards the city of Santa

0:33:34 > 0:33:34Barbara.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Firefighters are battling six fires across the state,

0:33:37 > 0:33:39with the largest having scorched an area of 230,000 acres.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Governor Jerry Brown has described the situation

0:33:42 > 0:33:47as the new normal, predicting that fires

0:33:47 > 0:33:51like this could happen every year.

0:33:51 > 0:34:00And we have been reporting on this for days.It is an area the size of

0:34:00 > 0:34:05New York City, which is fast, and thank you for the messages on man

0:34:05 > 0:34:15flu research.COUGHS.As if on cue, she coughs.Are you OK?I am fine,

0:34:15 > 0:34:21thanks.Many have got in touch to say it is particularly difficult at

0:34:21 > 0:34:26this time of year.We've got to get to the bottom of it, Sally. We have

0:34:26 > 0:34:37a professor of virology.And he says?He is unsure. He hasn't seen

0:34:37 > 0:34:43the research from the Canadian institute, which is a fact, which is

0:34:43 > 0:34:47important news for the entire nation.I think we are perhaps a

0:34:47 > 0:34:51little over man flu right now.You see, this is the situation that men

0:34:51 > 0:34:57get in their homes all the time. They feel ill, they struggle on

0:34:57 > 0:35:00through, and there is no appreciation.You say they are

0:35:00 > 0:35:06struggling on through.Yes, OK. Morning, everyone.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09The FA have asked United and City for their observations after City

0:35:09 > 0:35:12coach Mikel Arteta was cut on the head by a plastic bottle.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15It's not known who threw it but United manager Jose Mourinho

0:35:15 > 0:35:18also had milk and water thrown at him.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21It appears the row started when Mourinho objected to City's

0:35:21 > 0:35:25celebrations after their 2-1 victory.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Both City and United were in the draw for the Champions League

0:35:28 > 0:35:29knockout stages yesterday, and they got pretty favourable ties

0:35:32 > 0:35:33against Basel and Sevilla.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Liverpool will play Porto and Spurs take on Juventus.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39And with a record five English teams through to the knock-out stage,

0:35:39 > 0:35:41the 2012 champions Chelsea have arguably the toughest tie,

0:35:41 > 0:35:48they'll face the five-time winners Barcelona.

0:35:48 > 0:35:57Our mission is to be positive, and as they know very well, when we are

0:35:57 > 0:36:00in this stage, you must be ready to face everything and, in this case,

0:36:00 > 0:36:04we must be ready to face Barcelona.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07A long weekend, described as absurd by their opponents

0:36:07 > 0:36:10finished with Saracens' worst defeat in rugby unions' European Champions

0:36:10 > 0:36:10Cup.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13Clermont Auvergne thrashed their hosts by 46 points to 14,

0:36:13 > 0:36:15ending Saracens' two and a half year unbeaten run in Europe.

0:36:15 > 0:36:19The match had been put back a day because of snow,

0:36:19 > 0:36:21with fans initially banned then allowed to attend.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24There are some stinging comments in the papers this morning

0:36:24 > 0:36:26from former England captain Michael Vaughan, who says

0:36:26 > 0:36:29the current side are behaving like students and the senior players

0:36:29 > 0:36:33need to step up and be role models to the youngsters coming through.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35Another former captain, Alistair Cook, says he believes

0:36:35 > 0:36:41they're getting a bad press.

0:36:41 > 0:36:48I hadn't think we are getting painted fairly in the media on our

0:36:48 > 0:36:51culture. Clearly there have been a couple of things which, it sounds

0:36:51 > 0:36:56silly to say it, in the media have been brought up, but there was

0:36:56 > 0:37:00change after the September incident, so it is up to us to adjust to that

0:37:00 > 0:37:05quickly and we can't afford any mistakes because we understand that

0:37:05 > 0:37:09they have had it with the ECB and trying to make kids play cricket,

0:37:09 > 0:37:12which is what we want to do.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14Skiier Lindsey Vonn, who missed the 2014 Olympics

0:37:14 > 0:37:18because of injury, is having more problems in the build up to the 2018

0:37:18 > 0:37:19Games in Pyeonchang.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22The former World Champion fell to the ground as her back seized

0:37:25 > 0:37:29But the American believes she can be fit in time to win a second Olympic

0:37:29 > 0:37:31gold in two months.

0:37:31 > 0:37:36Everything that I have done has been in preparation for these Olympics,

0:37:36 > 0:37:42so right now I am trying to stay healthy going in. So far it is not

0:37:42 > 0:37:48going very well, but, you know, I feel I am saving all my luck for

0:37:48 > 0:37:52February and hopefully everything will work out the way it is supposed

0:37:52 > 0:37:53to.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56When it comes to footballers and statues, the results have been

0:37:56 > 0:37:57pretty mixed to say the least.

0:37:57 > 0:38:01Cristiano Ronaldo's bust at Madeira Airport had to be remade

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Now, it's Diego Maradona's turn.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06The Argentinian legend unveiling his own statue

0:38:06 > 0:38:13in the Indian city of Kolkata, which will be put in a public park.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16This is supposed to be him holding the 1986 World Cup.

0:38:16 > 0:38:21Oh, no. LAUGHTER

0:38:27 > 0:38:37it looks like your nan.It looks like Bilbo Baggins.It is very tall.

0:38:37 > 0:38:43Really big hair. He always had good hair.That is a bit of a letdown,

0:38:43 > 0:38:48isn't it, and look at the size of the Cup!The World Cup has always

0:38:48 > 0:38:53been tiny. Everything about that is wrong.Isn't it excellent? It is my

0:38:53 > 0:38:59favourite story of the day.Thank you.That is really poor, isn't it?

0:38:59 > 0:39:00Thank you.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03Almost half a million children and young people,

0:39:03 > 0:39:05some as young as 11, are gambling every week.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08A new survey from the Gambling Commission is highlighting websites,

0:39:08 > 0:39:10which allow players to gamble with virtual currency,

0:39:10 > 0:39:12which can then be turned into real money.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15It says children don't fully understand the consequences.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Ryan Archer started gambling at 15, and has lost more than 2,000 pounds

0:39:18 > 0:39:23on these sites.

0:39:23 > 0:39:31Being a student, with a student loan, some people would spend it on

0:39:31 > 0:39:37expensive clothes, I spend it on gambling. There are been times when

0:39:37 > 0:39:42I struggled to buy food because this takes priority.Four years ago

0:39:42 > 0:39:49Ryan's love of gambling spiralled. He is one of a growing number of

0:39:49 > 0:39:54gamers drawn into the world of so-called Skins betting.It is hard

0:39:54 > 0:40:01to ask your parents or £1000 to buy a knife, it is a lot easier to ask

0:40:01 > 0:40:09for a tenner and turn it into 1000. These are the skins, knives and

0:40:09 > 0:40:16weapons, virtual items used when playing computer games like Counter

0:40:16 > 0:40:23Strike, or CS Go. Some can be bought for pennies. The rare ones cost

0:40:23 > 0:40:26thousands and are highly collectable. They exist within the

0:40:26 > 0:40:32game. As these teenagers know, there are unlicensed sites where skins can

0:40:32 > 0:40:37be gambled and later converted into cash.You don't see an 11-year-old

0:40:37 > 0:40:42walk into a betting shop and abetting 200 on a horse race, you

0:40:42 > 0:40:46know, but you can do it with this, there is no stopping that.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50We're joined now by Jane Rigbye from Gamble Aware.

0:40:50 > 0:40:58Good morning. I didn't know about these so-called skins. So she has

0:40:58 > 0:41:02explained a little bit. Tell us a little more about it. They are sort

0:41:02 > 0:41:07of in-game things you can win.Yes, equipment you can use in-game to

0:41:07 > 0:41:11play the game and you can win them through playing the game and you can

0:41:11 > 0:41:17also buy them. And young people are trading them and gambling them in

0:41:17 > 0:41:21different ways.How do they gamble than?There are different ways. In

0:41:21 > 0:41:26the game itself, there is an activity where people can put them

0:41:26 > 0:41:30together in a pot and the odds are based on who has put the most into

0:41:30 > 0:41:33the pot and you can win the pot. That doesn't necessarily use real

0:41:33 > 0:41:38money. Then external websites, you can gamble these pieces of Clement,

0:41:38 > 0:41:43guns or knives, things you can use in the game, and that is where the

0:41:43 > 0:41:49concern comes in.There was an example of a 15-year-old with £2000.

0:41:49 > 0:41:55In terms of the responsibility to act, where does that like?It is

0:41:55 > 0:41:58really difficult because the current legislation hasn't kept up with the

0:41:58 > 0:42:04form of technology. It does not fall within the remit of the regulator

0:42:04 > 0:42:07the Gambling Commission. They need to do more to look at the

0:42:07 > 0:42:11legislation to make sure it looks up -- keeps up with the changes.You

0:42:11 > 0:42:15talked about 11 -year-olds. What sort of age groups can be on the

0:42:15 > 0:42:19games and potentially doing gambling of this sort?Any age and the

0:42:19 > 0:42:23concern is parents are not often aware of what young people are doing

0:42:23 > 0:42:26while they are on games and my six-year-old, for example, plays

0:42:26 > 0:42:31games online and plays on his PlayStation and I don't really know

0:42:31 > 0:42:34what he is doing. And there is concern that parents don't really

0:42:34 > 0:42:38know what is happening when they are in the game. You think it is just

0:42:38 > 0:42:43video gaming and it is not as safe as it looks.What about the impact

0:42:43 > 0:42:46more generally outside of these games? I've read some research 80%

0:42:46 > 0:42:50of young people have seen gambling adverts on the TV and they are

0:42:50 > 0:42:54everywhere, especially if you watch any sporting occasion, normally on a

0:42:54 > 0:42:59commercial channels and those adverts inside the programme will

0:42:59 > 0:43:03always have quite a fun, friendly gambling adverts. I wonder if that

0:43:03 > 0:43:08is having a drip effect as well. Advertising is everywhere for

0:43:08 > 0:43:12gambling. We see it all over the place. And what we need to do is

0:43:12 > 0:43:15recognise gambling is a legitimate leisure activity and should be

0:43:15 > 0:43:19allowed to be advertised. But it should be balanced with a

0:43:19 > 0:43:21responsible gambling message. There should be more advertising and

0:43:21 > 0:43:26promotion of the fact that it is a risky activity. It is not one that

0:43:26 > 0:43:34should be available to young people and there are places to go for help

0:43:34 > 0:43:37and support.What kind of conversations would you like parents

0:43:37 > 0:43:40to have with their children?I think parents should be explaining what

0:43:40 > 0:43:44gambling is, what the risks are. The fact that gambling isn't a way to

0:43:44 > 0:43:47make money. The report out today shows 40% of young people think

0:43:47 > 0:43:50gambling is a way to make money which shows a fundamental

0:43:50 > 0:43:54misunderstanding of what gambling is. So I think there is a job of

0:43:54 > 0:43:57parents to have conversations with young people about what gambling is

0:43:57 > 0:44:00an also for the rest of us to make sure these conversations are

0:44:00 > 0:44:04happening in the same way we talk about drugs or alcohol in schools,

0:44:04 > 0:44:08we should talk about gambling as well.OK, thank you very much. It is

0:44:08 > 0:44:12good to talk to you. It is 6:44am, let's bring you

0:44:12 > 0:44:16up-to-date with the main stories.

0:44:16 > 0:44:17Ministers are proposing a radical

0:44:17 > 0:44:20change to organ donation rules, which could mean people have to opt

0:44:20 > 0:44:22out of being on the register.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25They say the move would make more organs available for transplant.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28Four people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after three

0:44:28 > 0:44:35children died in a house fire in Salford.

0:44:35 > 0:44:39Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

0:44:39 > 0:44:40Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

0:44:40 > 0:44:40It at this morning's weather.

0:44:40 > 0:44:40It was at this morning's weather.

0:44:40 > 0:44:41It was the at this morning's weather.

0:44:41 > 0:44:41It was the coldest at this morning's weather.

0:44:41 > 0:44:41It was the coldest night at this morning's weather.

0:44:41 > 0:44:41It was the coldest night of at this morning's weather.

0:44:41 > 0:44:42It was the coldest night of the at this morning's weather.

0:44:42 > 0:44:42It was the coldest night of the year at this morning's weather.

0:44:42 > 0:44:44It was the coldest night of the year last night. Many people waking up to

0:44:44 > 0:44:45seems like that behind you.

0:44:47 > 0:44:52Good morning. Last night the temperature in Shropshire fell to

0:44:52 > 0:44:58-13. The code is night of the year so far. The last time we had

0:44:58 > 0:45:03temperatures that low was the brewery, 2016, in Braemar, where it

0:45:03 > 0:45:10was -14 -- coldest night. It is frosty and there's the risk of ice

0:45:10 > 0:45:14on untreated surfaces. To give you an idea of the temperatures we have

0:45:14 > 0:45:24at the moment, there you go, -13. -5 in the north of England. If there's

0:45:24 > 0:45:30the case of you being on the go this morning, we have these warnings in

0:45:30 > 0:45:34the south of Wales and the West Midlands. In the south, a beautiful

0:45:34 > 0:45:39start to the day, sunshine but cold, especially in the countryside and as

0:45:39 > 0:45:43we sweep from the south-west of England into Wales, again, a

0:45:43 > 0:45:47beautiful start but we have freezing fog and a few showers. For

0:45:47 > 0:45:50north-west England, a beautiful start but pretty cold. May be the

0:45:50 > 0:45:54odd shower across the Isle of Man and through the day you will notice

0:45:54 > 0:45:58more cloud building from the west across Northern Ireland but for now

0:45:58 > 0:46:02it is cold and also quite bright, or it will be when the sun is out.

0:46:02 > 0:46:07Across Scotland, a similar story, bright weather when the sun gets up

0:46:07 > 0:46:11but again, pockets of mist and the same in north-east England, cold and

0:46:11 > 0:46:17frosty with the risk of ice. When we lose the fog, many of us will have a

0:46:17 > 0:46:20dry morning and into the afternoon many will have sunny spells

0:46:20 > 0:46:25continuing, but in the west you will notice the cloud thickening, wet and

0:46:25 > 0:46:29windy weather is coming our way preceded by hill snow, not just in

0:46:29 > 0:46:33Scotland but Northern Ireland, north Wales and north-west England.

0:46:33 > 0:46:38Maximum temperatures up to around four. It won't be as windy in the

0:46:38 > 0:46:41south as it was yesterday. Through the evening and overnight, our

0:46:41 > 0:46:45weather front producing this rain will continue to go south-east with

0:46:45 > 0:46:49low snow for a time and then we have a clearer interlude before another

0:46:49 > 0:46:55system comes in from the west, this one introducing more rain, showery

0:46:55 > 0:47:00rain, and hill snow. Temperature wise, not as low as last night, but

0:47:00 > 0:47:04these temperatures are in towns and cities, always lower in the

0:47:04 > 0:47:08countryside, especially where we have lying snow. We say goodbye to

0:47:08 > 0:47:13our first one today early, the second one moves south-east, behind

0:47:13 > 0:47:17it we have cold air so again we will see snow and the other salient thing

0:47:17 > 0:47:21is the change in the wind direction is more westerly. There goes our

0:47:21 > 0:47:26front pushing down to the south-east, showery with some heavy

0:47:26 > 0:47:30bursts. Drier and bright interlude with sunshine and then further snow

0:47:30 > 0:47:34showers. Some of those will get down to low levels in Scotland and

0:47:34 > 0:47:38towards the end of the day we could see low-level snow in Northern

0:47:38 > 0:47:42Ireland. For the rush-hour, possibly in north-west England and north

0:47:42 > 0:47:46Wales, something we are keeping a close eye on because it will

0:47:46 > 0:47:50obviously impact on your journey. More on that through the rest of the

0:47:50 > 0:47:52morning.

0:47:54 > 0:47:59Someone has told me -11 where you are. -- they are. We wanting to hear

0:47:59 > 0:48:05from lots of people this morning.We are -5! You are disappointed, aren't

0:48:05 > 0:48:11you?I wanted to know how cold it felt at -12!We could sort that out

0:48:11 > 0:48:11for you!

0:48:11 > 0:48:14With more of us shopping online ths Christmas,

0:48:14 > 0:48:16there's a huge knock on for the jobs market

0:48:16 > 0:48:20and a bit of a shortage of qualified drivers to get our goods delivered.

0:48:20 > 0:48:21Steph has more.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24It affects how we shop, how we spend, the kinds of jobs that are

0:48:24 > 0:48:32out there the people we need to do that. There are some stats on that.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34I'm going to start with some good news,

0:48:34 > 0:48:42there are more of us in work than ever before.

0:48:42 > 0:48:46Have a look at this graph,

0:48:46 > 0:48:48now we're at a 42-year low.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51So given there are fewer people looking for work it means that some

0:48:51 > 0:48:53sectors are struggling to hire people.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55One of the big shortages is of lorry

0:48:55 > 0:48:58drivers, we need over 50,000 more lorry drivers needed on our roads

0:48:58 > 0:48:59this year.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01That does mean

0:49:01 > 0:49:05that truckers can push for higher wages and could earn over £20

0:49:05 > 0:49:11an hour plus hundreds in bonuses for a shift.

0:49:11 > 0:49:15Amanda White is UK Operations Manager at Manpower.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18Looking at the situation with haulage, why are we struggling to

0:49:18 > 0:49:26get lorry drivers?We are seeing a positive upturn with driving. It is

0:49:26 > 0:49:30a shortage market, we are finding there is less people coming into the

0:49:30 > 0:49:35industry, less young people coming into the industry, possibly due to

0:49:35 > 0:49:39the unsocial hours. It is an ageing workforce that we are finding as

0:49:39 > 0:49:43well and also this particular sector has relied on quite a lot of EU

0:49:43 > 0:49:48workers in the past.Who obviously some of them are working here

0:49:48 > 0:49:55because they are worried about what would happen after Brexit.The UK

0:49:55 > 0:50:00has seen a high number of people who have worked from other countries

0:50:00 > 0:50:06here in the UK are now leaving, maybe the interest rate isn't as

0:50:06 > 0:50:09attractive as it once was and the uncertainty of what will happen with

0:50:09 > 0:50:14Brexit certainly has a knock on effect.What are hauliers doing

0:50:14 > 0:50:18about this?We have a number of companies looking to increase

0:50:18 > 0:50:23salaries, as you mentioned. We have companies looking to offer bonuses

0:50:23 > 0:50:27for completed shifts, so incentives to see out the work that they are

0:50:27 > 0:50:32doing. Also we are seeing a high number of people stockpiling drivers

0:50:32 > 0:50:39on permanent contracts, this is probably what will happen in 2019 to

0:50:39 > 0:50:45ensure they have the talent going forward.What does that mean, to

0:50:45 > 0:50:49stockpile them?It will increase the number of people they take on.They

0:50:49 > 0:50:53have people waiting in the wings who they aren't using?They will use

0:50:53 > 0:50:57them in their industry but they might over recruit currently to make

0:50:57 > 0:51:05sure they have the talent. Obviously we encourage clients to look to up

0:51:05 > 0:51:13skill their workforce. Manpower itself has trained thousands of

0:51:13 > 0:51:18people with the regulations do help our clients fill this shortage.

0:51:18 > 0:51:22Looking at the DVLA figures, they say there are far more qualified

0:51:22 > 0:51:25lorry drivers than jobs, which suggests there are people with the

0:51:25 > 0:51:30right skills but they don't want to do the job.These statistics would

0:51:30 > 0:51:35say that, yes.What about the wider jobs picture at the moment?Although

0:51:35 > 0:51:43the Manpower outlook survey looked negative overall, there's quite a

0:51:43 > 0:51:48few industries that are seeing positive impacts. Certainly other

0:51:48 > 0:51:54areas. If we look at the Midlands, the golden triangle, between

0:51:54 > 0:51:58Northampton, Milton Keynes and Daventry, this is a high chelation

0:51:58 > 0:52:05for haulage and we are seeing great increase there. That was very high.

0:52:05 > 0:52:11-- high population.Big regional differences. Amanda, thanks for your

0:52:11 > 0:52:14time this morning. That's it from me for now.

0:52:14 > 0:52:16Molly Bloom has had an extraordinary life.

0:52:16 > 0:52:19She was a former world-class skier whose career was cut short

0:52:19 > 0:52:20after an accident.

0:52:20 > 0:52:23She then went on to set up exclusive high-stakes poker games

0:52:23 > 0:52:24for Hollywood's elite.

0:52:24 > 0:52:26But for all the wealth and excitement of that lifestyle,

0:52:26 > 0:52:28there was a very dark side.

0:52:28 > 0:52:31Her story has now been turned into a film.

0:52:31 > 0:52:31Jessica Chastain plays

0:52:31 > 0:52:33the Poker Princess in Molly's Game.

0:52:33 > 0:52:37I went to meet them both.

0:52:37 > 0:52:43When you heard her story, what was it about... Why did you want to play

0:52:43 > 0:52:49Molly?Well, first of all, I mean, her story's incredible. She goes

0:52:49 > 0:52:54from being, like, third in women's moguls in Los Angeles to running the

0:52:54 > 0:52:57most exclusive high-stakes poker game in the world and unbeknownst to

0:52:57 > 0:53:01her she gets involved with Russian members of the Mafia and gets

0:53:01 > 0:53:04indicted by the FBI. They were going all in, all the

0:53:04 > 0:53:07time. It's extraordinary because you made

0:53:07 > 0:53:16it quite some time ago but the residents it now has post Harvey

0:53:16 > 0:53:19Weinstein and everything, what do you make of that?It didn't start

0:53:19 > 0:53:23with Harvey Weinstein, what's been going on in the world. When Erin was

0:53:23 > 0:53:26writing this script, yes, it's very timely now because it's at the

0:53:26 > 0:53:30forefront but a great writer, writer is ahead of that. He was perceiving

0:53:30 > 0:53:33what was going on in the world. You're going to stop paying me

0:53:33 > 0:53:39because I get too much money doing my second job?You don't have

0:53:39 > 0:53:42bargaining power here.You are an important.

0:53:42 > 0:53:47Tell us about the atmosphere, it's very clear in the film, but the

0:53:47 > 0:53:51atmosphere in those games, at one time they are respecting you, at

0:53:51 > 0:53:56other times hitting on you. It was a lot of, like, you know, I

0:53:56 > 0:54:01will buy you a purse and I'll take you on a date, that kind of stuff.

0:54:01 > 0:54:06When I started being the bank, it was more like, I'm not paying you

0:54:06 > 0:54:11that $50,000 because that game was unfair. There was a marked change in

0:54:11 > 0:54:15how I was perceived and treated. This comes to the heart of what

0:54:15 > 0:54:20we're talking about now and Jessica, you've been going out of your way to

0:54:20 > 0:54:26big up people who feel like Molly, able to speak out, haven't you?

0:54:26 > 0:54:32Why are there so little, you know, positions of power for women? Why

0:54:32 > 0:54:37are women not sitting at the table making the decisions? What's

0:54:37 > 0:54:41happened is society has been groomed. Women and men have been

0:54:41 > 0:54:45groomed to behave a certain way and that's because we don't have women

0:54:45 > 0:54:49in leadership and there's no room at the table for them.Is it going to

0:54:49 > 0:54:52change? Is it going to have to change and how?

0:54:52 > 0:54:58It absolutely has to change. Right now with Time Magazine having people

0:54:58 > 0:55:03of the year as the #metoo movement, it shows how important it is. 2017,

0:55:03 > 0:55:09we're going to remember this year as the time where people first... Not

0:55:09 > 0:55:12first, but really came forward and said we can't live in this

0:55:12 > 0:55:16complicity any more, we have to move against what is being programmed in

0:55:16 > 0:55:19asp. , on, Molly, how deep into the

0:55:19 > 0:55:24Russian mob were you? You ended up in shocking and violent

0:55:24 > 0:55:26situations because of what you were trying to do?

0:55:26 > 0:55:32I started making reckless choices in this world but the consequences were

0:55:32 > 0:55:36much heavier than I imagined. Thank you so much for talking to us

0:55:36 > 0:55:41about it. Thank you so much, Molly, thank you, Jess.

0:55:41 > 0:55:46A fascinating chap, wasn't it?Both of them really interesting to hear

0:55:46 > 0:55:46from.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49Molly's Game is at cinemas from the first of January.

0:55:49 > 0:55:53We will have a longer version of that interview in about two hours.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55There you go.Book that in!

0:55:55 > 0:55:56You're watching Breakfast.

0:55:56 > 0:56:04Still to come this morning:

0:56:04 > 0:56:11Pope can't let our Seedorf him... -- O come let us adore him...

0:56:11 > 0:56:12From Christmas Crooners to raucous rockers,

0:56:12 > 0:56:16we're on a mission to get the whole of the UK singing.

0:56:16 > 0:56:20A week from today we have six choirs around the UK singing in various

0:56:20 > 0:56:26places and we want you to sing along at home. It will be a massive

0:56:26 > 0:56:32Breakfast sing up. It's oh come all Ye faithful, the lyrics are on our

0:56:32 > 0:56:38Facebook site. We will do that around 9am next Tuesday. Six choirs

0:56:38 > 0:56:43and you. At home singing with us. I'm sure it will work!

0:56:43 > 1:00:01Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

1:00:01 > 1:00:03Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

1:00:03 > 1:00:04Bye for now.

1:00:08 > 1:00:10Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:00:10 > 1:00:14Big changes could be on the way to organ donor rules.

1:00:14 > 1:00:16In future, people may have to opt out of the transplant

1:00:16 > 1:00:17register in England.

1:00:17 > 1:00:34Health chiefs say it will help save lives.

1:00:34 > 1:00:35Good morning.

1:00:35 > 1:00:36It's Tuesday, December 12.

1:00:36 > 1:00:38Also this morning.

1:00:38 > 1:00:41It's offically been the coldest night of the year.

1:00:41 > 1:00:48Temperatures plummeted to -13 in Shropshire.

1:00:48 > 1:00:54And that leads us into a cold day, but mostly dry one, with some

1:00:54 > 1:00:57sunshine when we lose the freezing fog patches this morning,

1:00:57 > 1:01:06but later wet and windy conditions return from the west.

1:01:06 > 1:01:08Why giving new mums shopping vouchers as a reward increased

1:01:08 > 1:01:12the rates of breast-feeding.

1:01:12 > 1:01:17One in ten of us working overtime get the one and a half premium, so I

1:01:17 > 1:01:22will look at why working beyond your usual hours is becoming less

1:01:22 > 1:01:22lucrative.

1:01:22 > 1:01:25In sport, the fallout from the Manchester derby goes on.

1:01:25 > 1:01:27The FA have asked United and City for observations

1:01:27 > 1:01:30after their post-match bust-up, which left City coach Mikel Arteta

1:01:30 > 1:01:32injured when he was hit by a plastic bottle.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34Is man flu real or a myth?

1:01:34 > 1:01:38New research suggests men might not be putting it on after all,

1:01:38 > 1:01:39but not everyone's convinced.

1:01:39 > 1:01:40We will have more on that later.

1:01:40 > 1:01:41Good morning.

1:01:41 > 1:01:42First, our main story.

1:01:42 > 1:01:45A radical change to the rules around organ donation in England

1:01:45 > 1:01:48is being unveiled today, as ministers launch a consultation

1:01:48 > 1:01:50on moving to a system of presumed consent.

1:01:50 > 1:01:53The reform would mean opting out of being a donor,

1:01:53 > 1:01:55rather than the current scheme of opting in.

1:01:55 > 1:01:57Wales has already taken that approach, and the Scottish

1:01:57 > 1:01:59Government is planning to introduce a similar scheme.

1:01:59 > 1:02:01Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

1:02:01 > 1:02:05Offering a stranger the gift of life is what lies at the heart

1:02:05 > 1:02:15of organ donation.

1:02:15 > 1:02:18These are the names of those who've helped some of the 6,500 people

1:02:18 > 1:02:20who need transplant each year, but around 450

1:02:20 > 1:02:22will die before a donor can be found.

1:02:22 > 1:02:25The family of Adrian Williams were happy to support his

1:02:25 > 1:02:28decision to donate.

1:02:28 > 1:02:32When you lose someone, and they've given that gift,

1:02:32 > 1:02:36that huge gift, you're immensely proud of them and it fills

1:02:36 > 1:02:40you with comfort that other families are actually enjoying the lives

1:02:40 > 1:02:43of their loved ones, where they may not have done,

1:02:43 > 1:02:49because of something that our Ade has done for them.

1:02:49 > 1:02:53The past decade has seen a big surge in donors across the UK.

1:02:53 > 1:03:00In 2007, there were around 790 deceased donors.

1:03:00 > 1:03:02That's now risen to more than 1400.

1:03:02 > 1:03:05The number of registered donors has gone up from 14 million to more

1:03:05 > 1:03:07than 23 million.

1:03:07 > 1:03:13But ministers are concerned that four out of ten families say

1:03:13 > 1:03:16to donation, so are proposing a system where it's assumed

1:03:16 > 1:03:18we are all willing to be donors.

1:03:18 > 1:03:21The issue of presumed consent is one thing we are looking at.

1:03:21 > 1:03:23What we need is much better communication inside families

1:03:23 > 1:03:26so that people know what family members actually want.

1:03:26 > 1:03:28There are some concerns that moving to a system

1:03:28 > 1:03:32where there is an assumption we are willing to donate could be

1:03:32 > 1:03:33counter-productive, undoing the good work of recent

1:03:33 > 1:03:36years by raising fears over the government having

1:03:36 > 1:03:41on our organs.

1:03:41 > 1:03:47And we shall discuss that at 8:10am on Breakfast.And send in your

1:03:47 > 1:03:53thoughts as well.

1:03:53 > 1:03:55-13 degrees was recorded in Shropshire.

1:03:55 > 1:03:58The Met Office has extended yellow warnings for snow and ice

1:03:58 > 1:04:01until later this morning and the AA has warned driving

1:04:01 > 1:04:02could be hazardous.

1:04:02 > 1:04:06Hundreds of schools will stay closed for a second successive day.

1:04:06 > 1:04:10And we will be live in one of the worst hit areas, the West Midlands,

1:04:10 > 1:04:15and Carol will have a full round-up of the weather. If you want any

1:04:15 > 1:04:18local information about possible school closures and road incidents

1:04:18 > 1:04:23and activity this morning, then your BBC local radio station is ready to

1:04:23 > 1:04:29go, and there are live updates on the BBC website as well.

1:04:29 > 1:04:31Four people are being questioned on suspicion of murder,

1:04:31 > 1:04:34after three children died in a house fire in Salford early yesterday.

1:04:34 > 1:04:36Their mother and another three-year-old child remain

1:04:36 > 1:04:37in a critical condition.

1:04:37 > 1:04:40Our correspondent Dave Guest is live at the scene.

1:04:40 > 1:04:43Good morning, Dave.

1:04:43 > 1:04:46Any developments overnight?

1:04:46 > 1:04:48What more can you tell us?

1:04:48 > 1:04:51Good morning.

1:04:51 > 1:04:55Police maintaining a presence in Jackson Street just over 34 hours

1:04:55 > 1:05:02after the fire at 5am yesterday morning. 216-year-old boys managed

1:05:02 > 1:05:06to get out, but mother and four children were trapped inside,

1:05:06 > 1:05:11rescued but sadly the 14-year-old girl Debbie Pearson died at the

1:05:11 > 1:05:17scene and a boy of eight and girl of seven died later in hospital. The

1:05:17 > 1:05:20mother named as Michelle Pearson ill in hospital, as is a three-year-old

1:05:20 > 1:05:25girl. It seems what appeared to be a tragic accident was something more

1:05:25 > 1:05:30sinister when the police announced they had launched a police

1:05:30 > 1:05:33investigation. Four arrested overnight, three men and a woman,

1:05:33 > 1:05:37and a fifth person, a man, on suspicion of assisting an offender.

1:05:37 > 1:05:41This has shocked the local community. Last night a local church

1:05:41 > 1:05:45opened its doors and invited people in to spend a couple of moments

1:05:45 > 1:05:50thinking about the three young lives lost, and of course the mother and

1:05:50 > 1:05:54the young girl who are still very ill in hospital. The police will

1:05:54 > 1:05:57continue questioning those they arrested last night today.Very

1:05:57 > 1:06:02grim. Thank you for updating us. Absolutely.

1:06:02 > 1:06:05The Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb

1:06:05 > 1:06:08explosion next to the city's busiest bus station as an isolated

1:06:08 > 1:06:09attempted terrorist attack.

1:06:09 > 1:06:12The suspect, who was injured in the blast, is a 27-year-old

1:06:12 > 1:06:14Bangladeshi who moved to the United States six years ago.

1:06:14 > 1:06:17President Trump said it showed the need for Congress to toughen

1:06:17 > 1:06:23immigration policy.

1:06:23 > 1:06:27Offering new mothers cash incentives could significantly increase

1:06:27 > 1:06:29breast-feeding rates, according to a new study.

1:06:29 > 1:06:31More than 10,000 new mums were offered shopping vouchers worth

1:06:31 > 1:06:34up to £120 if babies received breast milk at two days,

1:06:34 > 1:06:39ten days and six weeks old.

1:06:39 > 1:06:41A further £80 of vouchers was available if they continued

1:06:41 > 1:06:44to receive breast milk up to six months.

1:06:44 > 1:06:45Adina Campbell reports.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47Breast-feeding the newest member of the Sutcliffe family

1:06:47 > 1:06:50is a lot easier a second time around but,

1:06:50 > 1:06:52after Fiona's first daughter was born,

1:06:52 > 1:06:53she was spurred on by shopping vouchers

1:06:53 > 1:06:59during the toughest moments.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01It is really encouraged me to keep going,

1:07:01 > 1:07:03especially when the night was quite difficult

1:07:03 > 1:07:05and I thought about giving up breast-feeding

1:07:05 > 1:07:07and that was another incentive to keep going,

1:07:07 > 1:07:10and especially given it's so easy to sort of claim the vouchers.

1:07:10 > 1:07:14Fiona was one of more than 10,000 mums who took part in a study

1:07:14 > 1:07:15over 18 months.

1:07:15 > 1:07:17They were offered up to £200 in shopping vouchers

1:07:17 > 1:07:19at five different stages of breast-feeding.

1:07:19 > 1:07:22£40 at two days old and the same amount at ten days,

1:07:22 > 1:07:31six weeks, three months and six months.

1:07:31 > 1:07:33Before getting the vouchers, claimed forms were signed off

1:07:33 > 1:07:36by midwives or health visitors during visits.

1:07:36 > 1:07:38Overall, the breast-feeding rates went up by 6%,

1:07:38 > 1:07:46which researchers believe is a big difference.

1:07:46 > 1:07:47We do know that biologically and physiologically,

1:07:47 > 1:07:49we are designed to breast-feed.

1:07:49 > 1:07:52We know that 99% of women, given the right support, can breastfeed.

1:07:52 > 1:07:56There are plenty of benefits to breast-feeding

1:07:56 > 1:07:58but these mums in Sheffield have mixed views

1:07:58 > 1:08:06about being paid to do it.

1:08:06 > 1:08:09I don't think, you know, it should really be monetary.

1:08:09 > 1:08:13And I think some people might get persuaded just because of the money.

1:08:13 > 1:08:15If you can't do it, it's fine, too.

1:08:15 > 1:08:17But, yeah, having an incentive wiill definitely help

1:08:17 > 1:08:19and just get the message out there.

1:08:19 > 1:08:22The UK has some of the lowest breast-feeding rates in the world.

1:08:22 > 1:08:25Researchers say vouchers are a small price to pay

1:08:25 > 1:08:27with long-term benefits to babies and the NHS.

1:08:27 > 1:08:38Adina Campbell, BBC News.

1:08:38 > 1:08:42It is the time of year when lots of us might be putting in extra hours

1:08:42 > 1:08:47of work. We are talking about overtime. Steph has details about

1:08:47 > 1:08:52figures.Yes, it is really interesting. You within in the past

1:08:52 > 1:08:58it is lucrative to overtime. Often you might get time and a half as

1:08:58 > 1:09:02well as money you would normally be getting and that can be helpful at

1:09:02 > 1:09:10this time of year. Research out has sound one in ten workers, two and a

1:09:10 > 1:09:13half million people, work overtime and only one fifth of those people

1:09:13 > 1:09:25are getting a premium for it. So the majority of us are working for the

1:09:25 > 1:09:29same income. It is interesting what is happening with jobs and there are

1:09:29 > 1:09:33more people in work than ever before. The unemployment rate is at

1:09:33 > 1:09:37a 42 year low. There are a lot of people in work. There are questions

1:09:37 > 1:09:41about what's happening with wages. The fact that they haven't kept up

1:09:41 > 1:09:45with the cost of living. So for lots of people they felt in real terms

1:09:45 > 1:09:50they haven't got as much money as they have in the past. So there is a

1:09:50 > 1:09:57big change. 20 years ago, 17% of people would have got a premium if

1:09:57 > 1:10:01they worked overtime. Now that is dramatically reduced.That is very

1:10:01 > 1:10:05interesting and I am sure that lots of people are feeling that as well.

1:10:05 > 1:10:09Thank you.

1:10:09 > 1:10:13One of the most destructive wildfires is heading towards Santa

1:10:13 > 1:10:18Barbara. The largest has scorched and area the size of New York City.

1:10:18 > 1:10:21The governor has described the situation as the new normal and

1:10:21 > 1:10:29predicted these could happen every year.

1:10:29 > 1:10:30This fire is a monster.

1:10:30 > 1:10:33It has now burned an area bigger than New York City

1:10:33 > 1:10:34and Paris combined.

1:10:34 > 1:10:37More than 6,000 firefighters are battling it, but still the blaze

1:10:37 > 1:10:40rages in the hills above the Pacific Ocean.

1:10:40 > 1:10:43These helicopter pilots are working hard, trying to slow down

1:10:43 > 1:10:48the northward advance of the huge fire.

1:10:48 > 1:10:51But still it is marching on, down from that ridge top,

1:10:51 > 1:10:53and the concern is that it might affect homes here,

1:10:53 > 1:10:56and it could even burn all the way down towards Santa Barbara,

1:10:56 > 1:11:02on the Pacific Ocean.

1:11:02 > 1:11:05California feels like a state under siege by the climate -

1:11:05 > 1:11:07rising temperatures, years of drought, longer and more

1:11:07 > 1:11:11devastating wildfire seasons.

1:11:11 > 1:11:13The Governor says, in this warming world, it is no surprise.

1:11:13 > 1:11:16This could be something that happens every year,

1:11:16 > 1:11:18or every few years, it happens in some degree.

1:11:18 > 1:11:20It's just more intense, more widespread, and we're

1:11:20 > 1:11:22about ready to have firefighting at Christmas.

1:11:22 > 1:11:34This is very odd and unusual, but it's the way the world is.

1:11:34 > 1:11:36It has been a distressing week for animals, too.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38Dozens of horses have died in the fires.

1:11:38 > 1:11:41This video shows racehorses fleeing the flames after they were set loose

1:11:41 > 1:11:43in San Diego County.

1:11:43 > 1:11:44There is some good news.

1:11:44 > 1:11:47The worst winds seem to have died down, giving firefighters a better

1:11:47 > 1:11:50chance to battle the blaze, but it is a daunting task.

1:11:50 > 1:11:53This may yet become the largest wildfire in the history

1:11:53 > 1:12:06of this state.

1:12:06 > 1:12:10And extraordinary pictures. You are watching Breakfast.

1:12:10 > 1:12:12Now let's return to the weather this morning.

1:12:12 > 1:12:15Freezing conditions are continuing to affect parts of the UK,

1:12:15 > 1:12:18with forecasters confirming that last night was the coldest night

1:12:18 > 1:12:19of the year so far.

1:12:19 > 1:12:22In parts of Wales, temperatures dropped to minus nine

1:12:22 > 1:12:25and in Shropshire the thermometer went as low as minus 13 degrees.

1:12:25 > 1:12:27Gritters have been working hard overnight.

1:12:27 > 1:12:30At this one gritting depot in Stroud, they put down 450 tons

1:12:30 > 1:12:35of salt last night.

1:12:35 > 1:12:37Many schools remain closed with the West Midlands

1:12:37 > 1:12:39the worst hit.

1:12:39 > 1:12:41350 schools there will be closed today.

1:12:41 > 1:12:45While in Wales, about 264 schools so far have said they will shut.

1:12:45 > 1:12:48And indeed, the weather was so bad in the Midlands yesterday,

1:12:48 > 1:12:51health bosses appealed for 4x4 drivers to help ferry staff

1:12:51 > 1:12:52to hospital for their shifts.

1:12:52 > 1:12:54Joining us from outside the Birmingham Children's Hospital

1:12:54 > 1:13:00is our reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn.

1:13:00 > 1:13:03There's been a real sense of community spirit there,

1:13:03 > 1:13:03Kathryn.

1:13:03 > 1:13:10Yes, indeed. Good morning. Many people relished the snow day off

1:13:10 > 1:13:14work or school yesterday. Some have won today as well. But when your job

1:13:14 > 1:13:19is a matter of life or death it is not as much fun and at Birmingham

1:13:19 > 1:13:22Children's Hospital yesterday they had to put out an appeal on social

1:13:22 > 1:13:26media asking for anyone with a 4-wheel-drive vehicles with sturdy

1:13:26 > 1:13:30vehicles to get staff in and out of their shift here because of the

1:13:30 > 1:13:34amount of adverse weather we have had in the Midlands over the last

1:13:34 > 1:13:38couple of days. They say they managed to get everyone in on the

1:13:38 > 1:13:42late shift last night. They did the same this morning. If they need a

1:13:42 > 1:13:48game to ask later, they will do so. The roads are the big worry with so

1:13:48 > 1:13:54much ice around. It really is a case of going very steady. You mentioned

1:13:54 > 1:13:57grit in Gloucestershire. Coventry City Council said they have used 800

1:13:57 > 1:14:02tons of grit in the last 48 hours. And we can see the snow on the

1:14:02 > 1:14:06ground. Disruption across lots of parts as well.Yes, there is an

1:14:06 > 1:14:10amber weather warning from the Met Office for ice across the country

1:14:10 > 1:14:14and as I say that is causing problems with accessibility, and

1:14:14 > 1:14:18that is why we still have quite a lot of school closures. You

1:14:18 > 1:14:22mentioned 260 in Wales. It might go up a little bit. 80 in

1:14:22 > 1:14:27Gloucestershire. In the west Midlands there are 350 closed at the

1:14:27 > 1:14:31moment. That number might go up. It is not quite a blanket closure as we

1:14:31 > 1:14:35had yesterday in Birmingham. Some places are more accessible. They

1:14:35 > 1:14:39have left it up to individual head teachers to make up their own mind.

1:14:39 > 1:14:45If you are going outside today, my advice is to wrap up warm. It is

1:14:45 > 1:14:49perishing out here. I just checked the weather on my phone. Moscow is

1:14:49 > 1:14:55-2, Birmingham is - four.Well, thank you very much indeed and the

1:14:55 > 1:14:59best of luck with the rest of your day. Thank you. So that is why the

1:14:59 > 1:15:03worst affected areas of the UK and Carol has the picture for the rest

1:15:03 > 1:15:08of the country as well.What sort of scene are people waking up to this

1:15:08 > 1:15:09morning?

1:15:09 > 1:15:16Ice around this morning and some people have deep lying snow. Some

1:15:16 > 1:15:23seeing scenes like this, this was yesterday, from Keswick in Cumbria.

1:15:23 > 1:15:27Beautiful picture but treacherous conditions around, a cold start. The

1:15:27 > 1:15:34lowest temperature so far this year, -13 in Shropshire. There's Prost,

1:15:34 > 1:15:39lying snow, ice and freezing fog so if you're travelling, take extra

1:15:39 > 1:15:43care, as you would in those conditions -- frost. This morning we

1:15:43 > 1:15:48have a lot of clear skies and temperatures fairly low. The clear

1:15:48 > 1:15:53skies drift to the south-west but bits and pieces of cloud bringing

1:15:53 > 1:15:57the odd shower, the odd shower in Wales and some freezing fog in south

1:15:57 > 1:16:01Wales, and the West Midlands, that will be slow to live, and as we go

1:16:01 > 1:16:05to the north-west, cold and frosty. In Northern Ireland, high cloud

1:16:05 > 1:16:10around so a fine start to the day but the cloud building in from the

1:16:10 > 1:16:14west, introducing showers, and the same in western Scotland, high cloud

1:16:14 > 1:16:19producing the odd shower here and there. The rest of Scotland will be

1:16:19 > 1:16:23dry, cold and frosty, especially in rural areas where we have the lying

1:16:23 > 1:16:27snow. In north-east England, you have the risk of ice and some

1:16:27 > 1:16:31beautiful sparkling blue skies. Through the day, for central and

1:16:31 > 1:16:34eastern Scotland, central and eastern England, we hang on to the

1:16:34 > 1:16:38bright skies or the sunshine, brighter skies will be in the

1:16:38 > 1:16:42south-east and East Anglia and you see how the cloud Ronson from the

1:16:42 > 1:16:45west ahead of this weather front that will introduce rain and hill

1:16:45 > 1:16:49snow on the hills of Scotland, Northern Ireland and later

1:16:49 > 1:16:53north-west England and north Wales. That whole system continues to drift

1:16:53 > 1:16:57steadily south through the night, it will be blustery around it. Behind

1:16:57 > 1:17:03it, some clearer skies for a time and then our next system comes in

1:17:03 > 1:17:07introducing rain, but showery once again with snow on the hills.

1:17:07 > 1:17:11Temperature wise, in towns and cities called, lower in the

1:17:11 > 1:17:16countryside, especially where we have lying snow. This is our front

1:17:16 > 1:17:21clearing from the south-east and then the second comes in, this is

1:17:21 > 1:17:24showery, heading southwards, the wind becomes more of a westerly, not

1:17:24 > 1:17:28quite as cold a direction, but it will change later in the week. Quite

1:17:28 > 1:17:33a showery picture we are looking at as the weather front goes to the

1:17:33 > 1:17:38south-east. Behind it we drag in colder conditions, some sunshine

1:17:38 > 1:17:41around but increasingly through the day we will see the showers turned

1:17:41 > 1:17:45wintry even at lower levels, Snow through the day in Northern Ireland

1:17:45 > 1:17:50and Scotland -- turn. Something we are keeping an eye on is the

1:17:50 > 1:17:54possibility that for the evening rush-hour in north-west England, as

1:17:54 > 1:17:57the system sinks south, we could see snow potentially at lower levels.

1:17:57 > 1:18:02But the jury is out on that one so if you're travelling on Wednesday

1:18:02 > 1:18:05keep watching the weather forecast. In contrast, look at the

1:18:05 > 1:18:10temperatures in the south-west, 11. On Thursday, another unsettled day,

1:18:10 > 1:18:16we have rain and snow. Temperatures by then, one in the north, seven or

1:18:16 > 1:18:21eight in the south, but not the wind direction that we've had, veering

1:18:21 > 1:18:27from a north-westerly to more of a northerly. Thanks very much. See you

1:18:27 > 1:18:32in about 25 minutes for more of an update.

1:18:32 > 1:18:35Men who complain they have more than just a few sniffles

1:18:35 > 1:18:37may not be exaggerating their symptoms after all,

1:18:37 > 1:18:39if man flu exists!

1:18:39 > 1:18:41That's according to a new Canadian study

1:18:41 > 1:18:43which suggests men might have a weaker immune system

1:18:43 > 1:18:47in response to some viruses.

1:18:47 > 1:18:50Joining us now is John Oxford, Professor of Virology

1:18:50 > 1:18:53from Queen Mary University and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:18:53 > 1:18:54from Queen Mary University and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:18:54 > 1:18:54A and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:18:54 > 1:18:54A friend and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:18:54 > 1:18:54A friend of and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:18:54 > 1:18:55A friend of the and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:18:55 > 1:18:59A friend of the programme. and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:18:59 > 1:19:00A friend of the programme. John, and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:19:00 > 1:19:00A friend of the programme. John, if and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP.

1:19:00 > 1:19:03A friend of the programme. John, if we can come to you first of all, are

1:19:03 > 1:19:08we any clearer to discovering whether man flu is a myth or is it

1:19:08 > 1:19:13real?I don't think we're any clearer. The timing is good for this

1:19:13 > 1:19:17study, I must say, there's 10,000 or 20,000 people infected with flu at

1:19:17 > 1:19:21the moment, that's the figures from the GPs in Britain and ten times as

1:19:21 > 1:19:27many who have a cold sober it's good timing. I find the study and the

1:19:27 > 1:19:31science a little underwhelming if you want to put it like that. He's

1:19:31 > 1:19:36even quoted Oxford University press in a paper, I thought that was

1:19:36 > 1:19:44pulling it a bit. In my own... One of the physiologists from the 17th

1:19:44 > 1:19:48century is quoted, so I would say the science is patchy.Patchy but

1:19:48 > 1:19:54important, John! Dan will be very upset, I am so glad

1:19:54 > 1:19:59you are here to tell us it is all a myth. We will come back to you in a

1:19:59 > 1:20:03moment. Doctor Brian, Dan is hoping you might back him up, what is your

1:20:03 > 1:20:09view, you are a GP? Sometimes I get men phoning in and I

1:20:09 > 1:20:14think, man up, but I also get women phoning up and I think woman up.

1:20:14 > 1:20:19This isn't flu, this is a virus. Do the normal stuff and you will get

1:20:19 > 1:20:23over it and some of the worst consultations I have is trying to

1:20:23 > 1:20:27convince people that all we have with them is a cold and not

1:20:27 > 1:20:30something more drastic.The professor makes the point that flu

1:20:30 > 1:20:35is very serious.I had it once in my life when I was in my teens during

1:20:35 > 1:20:39an epidemic and you are flattened, it's a different disease to coughs

1:20:39 > 1:20:44and colds and sneezes.If you have proper flu, you can't get out of

1:20:44 > 1:20:49bed.It's the £20 note thing, and you will leave it on the ground.

1:20:49 > 1:20:53Professor, this is your speciality and you have studied flu for many

1:20:53 > 1:20:58years, the point is, it's really serious and you should know when you

1:20:58 > 1:21:03have it, shouldn't you?You should. We have done quarantine experiments

1:21:03 > 1:21:09over the years, you get volunteers into my uni and you deliberately

1:21:09 > 1:21:13infect them and we've done an analysis after that but all of these

1:21:13 > 1:21:17studies are patchy and on the underwhelming side when it comes to

1:21:17 > 1:21:22numbers. You can do one study and it looks like man flu and the next

1:21:22 > 1:21:25study doesn't pick anything up. That's the problem here. We're

1:21:25 > 1:21:32talking about sociology here and seriously, men, like me and all of a

1:21:32 > 1:21:35sudden we don't look carefully enough at our own health. My wife

1:21:35 > 1:21:41always picks up things more quickly than me, so do my daughters, so it's

1:21:41 > 1:21:45the fact we don't look carefully enough and we get too many symptoms

1:21:45 > 1:21:49before we do anything, but women know what their health status is and

1:21:49 > 1:21:53they get moving pretty fast. That's more likely to be the cause of this

1:21:53 > 1:21:57rather than deep science underpinning it.I love the smile

1:21:57 > 1:22:03with which you're saying all of this.

1:22:03 > 1:22:06I feel I should stick up for the study. The study has concluded men

1:22:06 > 1:22:10habitually exaggerate the symptoms of their flu and they say that was

1:22:10 > 1:22:15unjust and that man flu was a fact. Let's look at the facts. This is

1:22:15 > 1:22:19from David, man flu is indeed very real and worse than childbirth on

1:22:19 > 1:22:26the basis that... Hold on, hold on. I think you're in big trouble here!

1:22:26 > 1:22:31This is David's opinion. On the basis women volunteered to have

1:22:31 > 1:22:36children... Let me finish David's, it. You don't see men lining up for

1:22:36 > 1:22:43a second bout of man flu -- David's comment.Professor, can you respond?

1:22:43 > 1:22:48Let me change it entirely. Flu is serious, people die of flu, not the

1:22:48 > 1:22:53common cold. This is a serious note here, we are expecting an outbreak

1:22:53 > 1:22:57of the virus from Australia this year and there's plenty of vaccine

1:22:57 > 1:23:03available, we aren't depriving any elderly people or young people. I

1:23:03 > 1:23:06would suggest hopefully more men this year will get vaccinated and

1:23:06 > 1:23:10take more of an interest in their health and that would please me a

1:23:10 > 1:23:14lot and it might even reduce the instance of flu and protect

1:23:14 > 1:23:18health-care workers and the elderly. You make a very good point,

1:23:18 > 1:23:21Professor. As does Barbara, she says men get

1:23:21 > 1:23:26flu, children get colds, women get on with it.Oh dear oh dear! I can't

1:23:26 > 1:23:35win on this one, can I? I think the childbirth thing, going

1:23:35 > 1:23:39to work today, all the women that work from me, I wouldn't get a tea

1:23:39 > 1:23:43or anything like that if I agreed! Thank you both very much indeed.

1:23:43 > 1:23:47Thank you for debunking the myth and I know Dan will be sore about this

1:23:47 > 1:23:50for quite some time. The research is out there! What do

1:23:50 > 1:24:01you go about it!thank you, Professor. -- what do you two know

1:24:01 > 1:24:07about it! people in the United Kingdom know

1:24:07 > 1:24:13how much it hurts. They just know a little bit of sympathy goes a long

1:24:13 > 1:24:17way. Thank you for your comments, I

1:24:17 > 1:24:20imagine you might want to get in touch!

1:24:20 > 1:24:23Do Christmas cracker jokes make you grin or make you groan?

1:24:23 > 1:24:24Probably grown.

1:24:24 > 1:24:27The UKTV channel Gold has unveiled the winner of its annual competition

1:24:27 > 1:24:30to find the best modern take on that staple

1:24:30 > 1:24:31of the Christmas dinner table.

1:24:31 > 1:24:32And here it is.

1:24:32 > 1:24:34Why was Theresa May sacked as Nativity manager?

1:24:34 > 1:24:35I don't know.

1:24:35 > 1:24:43She couldn't run a stable government.

1:24:43 > 1:24:45What do you think?

1:24:45 > 1:24:47We asked revellers in Manchester to tell us some others

1:24:47 > 1:24:50from the shortlist, as well as a couple of their own.

1:24:50 > 1:24:53What does Santa get when he gets stuck in the chimney?

1:24:53 > 1:24:57Clause-trophobia.

1:24:57 > 1:24:59Kim Jong-un is going to play Santa this year

1:24:59 > 1:25:00in the South's annual pantomime.

1:25:00 > 1:25:06He said he fancied a Korea change.

1:25:06 > 1:25:08Where does Jeremy Corbyn hang his stockings?

1:25:08 > 1:25:09On the far left.

1:25:09 > 1:25:13Shocking!

1:25:13 > 1:25:15How does a snowman get to school?

1:25:15 > 1:25:19He rides his bicicles.

1:25:19 > 1:25:21Icicles!

1:25:21 > 1:25:23Two snowmen in a field.

1:25:23 > 1:25:25One says to the other, "Can you smell carrots?"

1:25:25 > 1:25:26Ooosh!

1:25:26 > 1:25:27You can keep that.

1:25:27 > 1:25:27That's...

1:25:27 > 1:25:35All day long!

1:25:35 > 1:25:40Thank you for all of your jokes. We will be reading more of those later.

1:25:40 > 1:25:43Send your best Christmas joke to us at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk.

1:25:43 > 1:25:49All the details are on your screen and you can find us on social media.

1:25:49 > 1:25:53Let's have a look at what is coming up later this week:

1:25:55 > 1:26:01Great, it's got to be done! It has, we are on a mission to get

1:26:01 > 1:26:05the country crooning this Christmas. We will tell you how to get involved

1:26:05 > 1:26:09in our nationwide singalong. It is next Tuesday and you can get

1:26:09 > 1:26:12involved. Around 9am next Tuesday so get that

1:26:12 > 1:29:33time in your diary and join in!

1:29:33 > 1:29:35Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

1:29:35 > 1:29:36Bye for now.

1:29:40 > 1:29:46Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:29:46 > 1:29:47It is 7:30am.

1:29:47 > 1:29:49Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

1:29:49 > 1:29:52A radical change to the rules around organ donation in England

1:29:52 > 1:29:55is being unveiled today, as ministers launch a consultation

1:29:55 > 1:29:57on moving to a system of presumed consent.

1:29:57 > 1:30:00The reform would mean opting out of being a donor,

1:30:00 > 1:30:05rather than the current scheme of opting in.

1:30:05 > 1:30:07Wales has already taken that approach, and the Scottish

1:30:07 > 1:30:11Government is planning to introduce a similar scheme.

1:30:11 > 1:30:13Temperatures of -13 have been recorded in Shropshire

1:30:13 > 1:30:16on the coldest night of the year so far.

1:30:16 > 1:30:19The Met Office has extended yellow warnings for snow and ice

1:30:19 > 1:30:21until later this morning and the AA has warned driving

1:30:21 > 1:30:22could be hazardous.

1:30:22 > 1:30:25Hundreds of schools will stay closed for a second successive day.

1:30:25 > 1:30:28And Carol will have a fall round up of the weather

1:30:28 > 1:30:32in a few minutes' time.

1:30:32 > 1:30:35Four people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after three

1:30:35 > 1:30:37children died in a house fire in Salford, Greater Manchester,

1:30:37 > 1:30:40in the early hours of Monday morning. A 14-year-old girl,

1:30:40 > 1:30:43named locally as Demi Pearson, was pronounced dead at the scene,

1:30:43 > 1:30:46and an eight-year-old boy and a girl aged seven died in hospital.

1:30:46 > 1:30:48Their mother, named as Michelle Pearson,

1:30:48 > 1:30:51and a three year old are still in a serious condition.

1:30:51 > 1:30:58A vigil was held for the victims last night.

1:30:58 > 1:31:01The Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb

1:31:01 > 1:31:04explosion next to the city's busiest bus station as an isolated

1:31:04 > 1:31:05attempted terrorist attack.

1:31:05 > 1:31:08The suspect, who was injured in the blast, is a 27-year-old

1:31:08 > 1:31:11Bangladeshi who moved to the United States six years ago.

1:31:11 > 1:31:14President Trump said it showed the need for Congress to toughen

1:31:14 > 1:31:26immigration policy.

1:31:26 > 1:31:31Thank God the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals. Thank

1:31:31 > 1:31:36God our first responders were there so quickly to address the situation

1:31:36 > 1:31:41to make sure people were safe. Thank God the only injuries we know at

1:31:41 > 1:31:43this point were minor.

1:31:43 > 1:31:46An influential American think tank is warning that the British economy

1:31:46 > 1:31:50is likely to be weakened by Brexit, even if the UK agrees a new trade

1:31:50 > 1:31:51deal with the EU.

1:31:51 > 1:31:54A report from the Rand Corporation, which is part-funded by the US

1:31:54 > 1:31:57government, says almost all trading relationships after March 2019

1:31:57 > 1:32:01will be worse than Britain's current membership of the EU.

1:32:01 > 1:32:03Research suggests offering shopping vouchers to new mothers can

1:32:03 > 1:32:05encourage them to breastfeed their babies.

1:32:05 > 1:32:08About 10,000 new mums in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire

1:32:08 > 1:32:10were offered up to £200 in vouchers as an incentive.

1:32:10 > 1:32:12Breast-feeding rates increased in these areas,

1:32:12 > 1:32:13which typically have low uptake.

1:32:13 > 1:32:26Breast-feeding levels in the UK are some of the lowest in the world.

1:32:26 > 1:32:29One of the most destructive wildfires in California's history -

1:32:29 > 1:32:31is heading towards the city of Santa

1:32:31 > 1:32:32Barbara.

1:32:32 > 1:32:34Firefighters are battling six fires across the state,

1:32:34 > 1:32:37with the largest having scorched an area of 230,000 acres.

1:32:37 > 1:32:40Governor Jerry Brown has described the situation as the new normal,

1:32:40 > 1:32:51predicting that fires like this could happen every year.

1:32:51 > 1:32:56You are right date with the news. And it is officially the coldest

1:32:56 > 1:33:00night of the year so far.Yes, it was, and many people getting up as

1:33:00 > 1:33:03morning with the difficult conditions on the roads and trouble

1:33:03 > 1:33:07getting to school as well. For the latest on that you can listen to the

1:33:07 > 1:33:12local BBC radio station and there are live updates on the BBC website

1:33:12 > 1:33:16depending where you live in the country.And I notice the next door

1:33:16 > 1:33:20is called milkgate.Yes, it is, and I want to start today to pay tribute

1:33:20 > 1:33:27to Jim White, in the Telegraph, who said this morning, "Now we know when

1:33:27 > 1:33:32it comes to an brawl what the modern Premier League footballer pours over

1:33:32 > 1:33:38the head, beer two cricketers, champagne to F1 drivers, he chooses

1:33:38 > 1:33:46a pinter, a pint of milk" which was thrown in the tunnel after the match

1:33:46 > 1:33:51between Manchester united and Manchester City. The manager slid

1:33:51 > 1:33:56along the touchline on his knees was cross with his opponent for being

1:33:56 > 1:33:59disrespectful in their celebrations, which I think is really clever. And

1:33:59 > 1:34:06a lot of fallout still over the weekend.Classic diversion tactic.

1:34:06 > 1:34:09We are not talking about Manchester United outplayed.And they played so

1:34:09 > 1:34:14well. We are talking about, yet again, you know, if I had a pound

1:34:14 > 1:34:18for every time I mentioned Jose Mourinho and his distraction

1:34:18 > 1:34:23tactics, I would be very wealthy by now. He is so good at taking the

1:34:23 > 1:34:27flak away from the team, which has been what he was doing.Has he

1:34:27 > 1:34:32cleaned his coat?I think he has a spare.I think he has a spare.

1:34:32 > 1:34:36The FA have asked United and City for their observations after City

1:34:36 > 1:34:39coach Mikel Arteta was cut on the head by a plastic bottle.

1:34:39 > 1:34:42It's not known who threw it but United manager Jose Mourinho

1:34:42 > 1:34:44also had milk and water thrown at him.

1:34:44 > 1:34:47It appears the row started when Mourinho objected to City's

1:34:47 > 1:34:48celebrations after their 2-1 victory.

1:34:48 > 1:34:51Both City and United were in the draw for the Champions League

1:34:51 > 1:34:54knockout stages yesterday, and they got pretty favourable ties

1:34:54 > 1:34:55against Basel and Sevilla.

1:34:55 > 1:34:57Liverpool will play Porto and Spurs take on Juventus.

1:34:57 > 1:35:01And with a record five English teams through to the knock-out stage,

1:35:01 > 1:35:03the 2012 champions Chelsea have arguably the toughest tie,

1:35:03 > 1:35:08they'll face the five-time winners Barcelona.

1:35:08 > 1:35:11Our mission is to be positive, and as they know very well,

1:35:11 > 1:35:15when we are in this stage, you must be ready to face everything

1:35:15 > 1:35:26and, in this case, we must be ready to face Barcelona.

1:35:26 > 1:35:29A long weekend, described as absurd by their opponents finished

1:35:29 > 1:35:32with Saracens' worst defeat in rugby unions' European Champions Cup.

1:35:32 > 1:35:35Clermont Auvergne thrashed their hosts by 46 points to 14,

1:35:35 > 1:35:38ending Saracens' two and a half year unbeaten run in Europe.

1:35:38 > 1:35:40The match had been put back a day because of snow,

1:35:40 > 1:35:46with fans initially banned then allowed to attend.

1:35:46 > 1:35:49There are some stinging comments in the papers this morning

1:35:49 > 1:35:51from former England captain Michael Vaughan, who says

1:35:51 > 1:35:54the current side are behaving like students and the senior players

1:35:54 > 1:35:57need to step up and be role models to the youngsters coming through.

1:35:57 > 1:35:59Another former captain, Alistair Cook, says he believes

1:35:59 > 1:36:03they're getting a bad press.

1:36:03 > 1:36:06I hadn't think we are getting painted fairly in the media

1:36:06 > 1:36:07on our culture.

1:36:07 > 1:36:10Clearly there have been a couple of things which,

1:36:10 > 1:36:13it sounds silly to say it, in the media have been brought up,

1:36:13 > 1:36:15but there was change after the September incident,

1:36:15 > 1:36:20so it is up to us to adjust to that quickly and we can't afford any

1:36:20 > 1:36:23mistakes because we understand that they have had it with the ECB

1:36:23 > 1:36:26and trying to make kids play cricket, which is

1:36:26 > 1:36:34what we want to do.

1:36:34 > 1:36:37When it comes to footballers and statues, the results have been

1:36:37 > 1:36:40pretty mixed to say the least.

1:36:40 > 1:36:43Cristiano Ronaldo's bust at Madeira Airport had to be remade

1:36:43 > 1:36:44it was so bad.

1:36:44 > 1:36:51Now, it's Diego Maradona's turn.

1:36:51 > 1:36:58This is him unveiling his own statue in the Indian city of Kolkata. He is

1:36:58 > 1:37:02pressing the remote control, giant curtain, the appropriate colours, is

1:37:02 > 1:37:11it his gran?Where is the statue of him? I can only see Bilbo Baggins

1:37:11 > 1:37:17with a massive World Cup.Why is it so big?I wonder what is genuine

1:37:17 > 1:37:22thought is, he has to think, my word.I think he probably loves it.

1:37:22 > 1:37:26I think he is the sort of person who would look at that statue and think,

1:37:26 > 1:37:31great, I will have another one.The famous Ronaldo was remade.At

1:37:31 > 1:37:36Madeira airport. Yes, because it looked so much like Niall Quinn.

1:37:36 > 1:37:41Hold on a minute, you have made a statue of Niall Quinn. Yes. There

1:37:41 > 1:37:45should be more of Niall Quinn.Of course. There should be one.Well,

1:37:45 > 1:37:50you can sort it out.I will fix it. Carol will update you on the weather

1:37:50 > 1:37:55in about ten minutes. And it is officially the coldest night of the

1:37:55 > 1:37:59year so far and she has been talking about temperatures as low as minus

1:37:59 > 1:38:0215.

1:38:02 > 1:38:04The hope for the family of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

1:38:04 > 1:38:07is that she will be released from her Iranian prison cell

1:38:07 > 1:38:08in time for Christmas.

1:38:08 > 1:38:12But with less than two weeks to go, that hope is fading.

1:38:12 > 1:38:14Boris Johnson told MPs yesterday that he has had

1:38:14 > 1:38:16worthwhile discussions with officials in Iran

1:38:16 > 1:38:18about her situation, but the Foreign Secretary also said

1:38:18 > 1:38:21he did not want to raise false expectations about her release.

1:38:21 > 1:38:27Let's get the latest now from her husband Richard Ratcliffe.

1:38:27 > 1:38:31Thank you very much for your time this morning. It is good to talk to

1:38:31 > 1:38:35you, as ever. You had a conversation with Boris Johnson lasting an hour

1:38:35 > 1:38:40yesterday.Yes, consistent with what he said in public, which was, I want

1:38:40 > 1:38:44to keep expectations realistic and we are doing what we can and let's

1:38:44 > 1:38:49hope, and we talked about the different people, and there was

1:38:49 > 1:38:53concern, but he didn't say I am sure she will be home in ten days.Did

1:38:53 > 1:38:57you consider it a positive meeting from your perspective. Was it what

1:38:57 > 1:39:01you expected him to say?It was up and down, that was more downbeat and

1:39:01 > 1:39:05I was hoping for. At the same time there were lots of things coming out

1:39:05 > 1:39:15of Iran that was more upbeat. On balance it was even -- it was an

1:39:15 > 1:39:18even day. We have the Foreign Ministry of Iran saying they were

1:39:18 > 1:39:25working on Nazanin's case and following up on humanitarian grounds

1:39:25 > 1:39:28and the Tehran revolutionary court said there was no such court case.

1:39:28 > 1:39:32So those were good thing. The Foreign Secretary was much more

1:39:32 > 1:39:36cautious.I know that you spoke to him on the phone previously. In the

1:39:36 > 1:39:39face-to-face meeting were you able to put across your concerns about

1:39:39 > 1:39:43some of his behaviour earlier on as well, comments he made about the

1:39:43 > 1:39:49situation your wife was in?No, we were focusing really on getting her

1:39:49 > 1:39:55home and my timescale is clear, home for Christmas, and he has quite

1:39:55 > 1:39:59reasonably been quite cautious about that. We talked about the campaign

1:39:59 > 1:40:04and whether that helps, but I think where things stand that the noise

1:40:04 > 1:40:09coming from Iran are hopeful. I understand why the Foreign Secretary

1:40:09 > 1:40:14wants to be cautious. Fingers crossed in the next ten days

1:40:14 > 1:40:18something can be done.When was the last time you spoke to your wife and

1:40:18 > 1:40:21how is she?I got an extra phone call yesterday. That is another

1:40:21 > 1:40:25positive. She is allowed to call on Monday. And she was quite upbeat. So

1:40:25 > 1:40:30she talked about how she had a dream that she was on the aeroplane and

1:40:30 > 1:40:35she was describing that. And since the court case hasn't happened, she

1:40:35 > 1:40:39has been a lot more upbeat. It is day today, up and down. Yesterday

1:40:39 > 1:40:45was both. We live in hope. Obviously she remains fragile, I am fragile in

1:40:45 > 1:40:50different ways. Fingers crossed she will come home.I don't want you to

1:40:50 > 1:40:54go into personal details about what you are talking to her about, but

1:40:54 > 1:40:58are you talking about the fact she might be home at Christmas, or not

1:40:58 > 1:41:02getting up your hopes, how are you dealing with that?My job is to keep

1:41:02 > 1:41:06up her hopes and to tell her it will be OK. I think the fragility that

1:41:06 > 1:41:10she has has a dangerous side to keeping up the hopes. She looks for

1:41:10 > 1:41:17reassurance. She looks to be told it will be OK. And there is a chance it

1:41:17 > 1:41:21will be. My job is to say there is every chance she could be home at

1:41:21 > 1:41:24Christmas. And it is the Foreign Secretary's job to keep expectations

1:41:24 > 1:41:30clear. But, yes, hopefully it will come through.And I know you are

1:41:30 > 1:41:33focusing attention on your wife and getting her home. Can you indicate

1:41:33 > 1:41:39how difficult it has been for you and your family?Look, it is very up

1:41:39 > 1:41:44and down on a day-to-day level. Of course it is a attritional and it is

1:41:44 > 1:41:48stressful and there are ways in which... I didn't sleep last night

1:41:48 > 1:41:53or the night before. The basics of hoping and worrying have a dynamic.

1:41:53 > 1:41:58And, yes, it has been a long haul and there will be a recovery for all

1:41:58 > 1:42:02of us when it is over.And it is the delicate balance between keeping

1:42:02 > 1:42:07your wife's courts in the public I am not trying to say anything that

1:42:07 > 1:42:13might cause issue with negotiations, and that must - you must be thinking

1:42:13 > 1:42:17about every answer that you give in interviews.And making mistakes. It

1:42:17 > 1:42:22is important for me to be honest and to be positive and to be hopeful.

1:42:22 > 1:42:27And, yes, not to try to over think it. Yes, there are complicated

1:42:27 > 1:42:32things going on. There are all sorts of things in the relationship that

1:42:32 > 1:42:35will need solving. And we are wrapped up in them, although they

1:42:35 > 1:42:40have nothing to do with us. Hopefully we can find a way through.

1:42:40 > 1:42:44We will continue to talk to you. Thank you very much for coming on

1:42:44 > 1:42:47the programme to talk about it and hopefully you will be reunited with

1:42:47 > 1:42:51your wife.Thank you.It is good to talk to you again this morning.

1:42:51 > 1:42:56Absolutely.These are the main stories in this morning.

1:42:56 > 1:42:59Ministers are proposing a radical change to organ donation rules which

1:42:59 > 1:43:05could mean people have to opt out of being on the register. They say the

1:43:05 > 1:43:09move would make more organs available for transplant. Four

1:43:09 > 1:43:12people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after three

1:43:12 > 1:43:16children die in a house fire in Salford. We will be live at the

1:43:16 > 1:43:22scene a little late for you. Now, yesterday, Dan, you were

1:43:22 > 1:43:26telling me that the build to -- the way to build proper snow structures

1:43:26 > 1:43:31is how?To get some sort of box formation, normally a recycling box

1:43:31 > 1:43:35is awful, something a little smaller, wedge the snow into the

1:43:35 > 1:43:39box...And this is what you can build. Thank you for sending this

1:43:39 > 1:43:39picture.

1:43:39 > 1:43:42It took Benjamin Crutch from Redditch eight hours to make

1:43:42 > 1:43:48the igloo, using 500 snow bricks.

1:43:48 > 1:43:53And it is seriously impressive, I love this igloo.And if you wait a

1:43:53 > 1:43:59moment, his dog is in as well. Here he is.And here we were, Carol and

1:43:59 > 1:44:03myself, sceptical about how to do this in the UK.You were both of you

1:44:03 > 1:44:07pouring scorn on the use of boxes to make these sort of incredible

1:44:07 > 1:44:12structures.In some things we are right, Dan. On the existence of man

1:44:12 > 1:44:16flu, for example.What I like is you are ready to say, do you know what,

1:44:16 > 1:44:24Dan, I was wrong, and you are right. Did either of us say that?

1:44:24 > 1:44:25Good morning.

1:44:25 > 1:44:30Good morning. Very impressive. Well done. I cold start this morning,

1:44:30 > 1:44:34we've had the coldest night of the year so far and in Shropshire it

1:44:34 > 1:44:41fell to -13, an official Met Office psych. We have the risk of highs

1:44:41 > 1:44:46this morning and also lying snow -- macro free. That could lead to nasty

1:44:46 > 1:44:51travelling conditions -- site. Freezing conditions in south Wales

1:44:51 > 1:44:55and the West Midlands. That will be slow to lift but when it does for

1:44:55 > 1:44:59much of the country, a bright start, some lovely crisp scenes, for

1:44:59 > 1:45:04example the frostiness glistening in the lovely sunshine but we have a

1:45:04 > 1:45:07weather front coming in from the west in the day introducing thicker

1:45:07 > 1:45:11cloud, rain, hill snow and windy conditions. That will be the

1:45:11 > 1:45:15scenario this afternoon in Northern Ireland and Weston and Northern

1:45:15 > 1:45:20Scotland, head of it, the cloud will build, so it's the far east of

1:45:20 > 1:45:23Scotland that hangs onto the sunshine, here it will be cold, down

1:45:23 > 1:45:29to Kelso -- ahead of it. In northern England, the cloud will build in the

1:45:29 > 1:45:32north-west in the day, north-west England Dash and Dawson east England

1:45:32 > 1:45:41remaining slow, cold but sunny -- north-east England remaining cold

1:45:41 > 1:45:47but sunny. High cloud in Hampshire, then the thicker cloud coming in

1:45:47 > 1:45:52across Cornwall and into west Wales. That will introduce the first signs

1:45:52 > 1:45:56of rain. Through the evening and overnight, as it continues to go

1:45:56 > 1:46:00south-east, there will be hill snow on it, still blustery around it and

1:46:00 > 1:46:03then we have a gap and our next weather front comes in from the

1:46:03 > 1:46:08west, bringing more rain, this time or showery in nature. Again some

1:46:08 > 1:46:12hill snow in the hills of Scotland, Northern Ireland and possibly

1:46:12 > 1:46:20northern England. Temperature wise, not as low as the night just gone

1:46:20 > 1:46:24but bear in mind, these are in towns and cities. Over lying snow, a lot

1:46:24 > 1:46:27colder than that. First thing tomorrow we lose our first weather

1:46:27 > 1:46:31front from the south, taking the rain with it, the second one brings

1:46:31 > 1:46:33showery outbreaks with some heavy bursts moving south-east, note the

1:46:33 > 1:46:37direction of the isobars, the wind is changing to a westerly, not as

1:46:37 > 1:46:41cold a direction but that doesn't mean it will be warm. As the showery

1:46:41 > 1:46:48outbreaks push south we will see sunshine coming in behind, note the

1:46:48 > 1:46:51temperatures, but behind that it will turn colder and we will have

1:46:51 > 1:46:53snow showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland and progressively

1:46:53 > 1:46:58they will fall to lower levels. As this sinks south, there's the chance

1:46:58 > 1:47:02for the evening rush-hour in north-west England, we could see

1:47:02 > 1:47:07some snow. It's something we're keeping a close eye on. It depends

1:47:07 > 1:47:11how quickly that system moves south. On Thursday, more unsettled

1:47:11 > 1:47:15conditions on the cards. Still a bit of a north-westerly but it is

1:47:15 > 1:47:19starting to move background to closer to a northerly so we get back

1:47:19 > 1:47:24into cooler air once again as we head to the weekend. Spells of rain,

1:47:24 > 1:47:29windy at times, look at the temperatures in Aberdeen, the top is

1:47:29 > 1:47:32likely to be one.Thank you very much indeed, Carol. You're keeping

1:47:32 > 1:47:34us right up to date.

1:47:35 > 1:47:39This morning we are talking about putting in extra hours at work but

1:47:39 > 1:47:45only some people are paid the overtime they are due to.

1:47:45 > 1:47:54Lots of people will relate to that, working more than they get paid for.

1:47:54 > 1:47:56About 2.5 million people did paid overtime last year

1:47:56 > 1:47:59but it isn't as lucrative as it used to be.

1:47:59 > 1:48:02Only a fifth of them got the traditional time and a half.

1:48:02 > 1:48:09We went out to ask whether overtime was still worth it.

1:48:09 > 1:48:15We do work over our hours. We get time owing, which we would put in

1:48:15 > 1:48:18for and then they would let us have the time back again.

1:48:18 > 1:48:23No, it's a flat salary. If you put into hours, ten hours more,

1:48:23 > 1:48:27whatever, you're paid exactly the same.I think it's essential, at the

1:48:27 > 1:48:31end of the day in this day and age you need to get paid for the

1:48:31 > 1:48:35overtime, you don't have to do it so you need to get paid for doing it.

1:48:35 > 1:48:38Dan Tomlinson is from the Resolution Foundation.

1:48:38 > 1:48:41What are your thoughts on this research and what it's telling us?

1:48:41 > 1:48:45The really interesting thing is no one has spoken about paid overtime

1:48:45 > 1:48:50before in the UK. It's over 20 years since we had policies that affected

1:48:50 > 1:48:54it so it is good we are talking about it because one in ten do paid

1:48:54 > 1:48:59overtime but as you were saying, the bonus, the premium they get has been

1:48:59 > 1:49:04declining.Why is that?Part of it is the types of jobs people do has

1:49:04 > 1:49:12been changing over the past few decades in the country, so many more

1:49:12 > 1:49:15people used to work in manufacturing, which has high

1:49:15 > 1:49:19premiums, about 17% in terms of a bonus when you work overtime and we

1:49:19 > 1:49:22have fewer people working in sectors like education where the premium for

1:49:22 > 1:49:25paid overtime is smaller even though every teacher does loads of

1:49:25 > 1:49:28overtime, but that is unpaid, so that's not what we've been looking

1:49:28 > 1:49:33at.If you are someone who wants more for overtime, what are the best

1:49:33 > 1:49:38sectors to be in?Manufacturing is a good sector, as is transport, it is

1:49:38 > 1:49:42less good to be in sectors like retail where we know more than half

1:49:42 > 1:49:46of people who work in retail don't get any premium for their overtime

1:49:46 > 1:49:50hours.What about those people who are not getting paid anything for

1:49:50 > 1:49:54overtime? A lot of people who will do extra hours at home in addition

1:49:54 > 1:50:02to their work.That is a bigger issue in one sense. We think there's

1:50:02 > 1:50:05about 3.6 million people doing unpaid overtime in any week and

1:50:05 > 1:50:09about 2.6 million doing paid overtime but the interesting thing

1:50:09 > 1:50:13is, even with paid overtime, there's more people getting no bonus

1:50:13 > 1:50:18whatsoever for that work, so four in ten people now don't get a premium

1:50:18 > 1:50:21for paid overtime, but that was three in ten a couple of decades

1:50:21 > 1:50:25ago.That's interesting, we talk a lot on this programme about what's

1:50:25 > 1:50:32happening with wages and jobs and we have more people employed than

1:50:32 > 1:50:36before but wages haven't been keeping up the cost of living and

1:50:36 > 1:50:39this plays into that.It does. There's been a rise in different

1:50:39 > 1:50:43forms of types of work we might call insecure or in the UK, more zero

1:50:43 > 1:50:47hours contracts and agency workers and that is falling, but there's

1:50:47 > 1:50:52still a lot of people, 900,000 people on zero hours contracts. It's

1:50:52 > 1:50:55good we are talking about this and we should think about policies

1:50:55 > 1:50:59helping people in those forms of insecure employment, like saying if

1:50:59 > 1:51:03someone has been working on a zero hours contract for a few months they

2:00:10 > 2:00:12Hello this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:00:12 > 2:00:16Big changes could be on the way to organ donor rules.

2:00:16 > 2:00:19In future people may have to opt out of the transplant

2:00:19 > 2:00:20register in England - health chiefs say it

2:00:20 > 2:00:30will help save lives.

2:00:38 > 2:00:40Good morning it's Tuesday 12th December - also this morning:

2:00:40 > 2:00:43It's offically been the coldest night of the year -

2:00:43 > 2:00:47temperatures plummeted to minus 13 in Shropshire.

2:00:50 > 2:00:55That leads us into a cold day today but for many of us it will be dry

2:00:55 > 2:01:00and sunny when the freezing fog lifts but in the West the cloud will

2:01:00 > 2:01:05thicken, there will be rain and the wind will also strengthen.

2:01:05 > 2:01:08Aldi and Tesco have come out on top in the battle

2:01:08 > 2:01:10of the supermarkets this Christmas - according to figures

2:01:10 > 2:01:11that are just out.

2:01:11 > 2:01:12I'll have all the details shortly.

2:01:12 > 2:01:15In sport more fallout from the game that turned sour.

2:01:15 > 2:01:17The FA have asked Manchester United and Manchester City

2:01:17 > 2:01:20for their versions of the events post match which left City coach

2:01:25 > 2:01:28The former Strictly judge will be here to tell us who he thinks

2:01:28 > 2:01:34will lift that glitter ball.

2:01:34 > 2:01:35First, our main story.

2:01:35 > 2:01:38A radical change to the rules around organ donation in England

2:01:38 > 2:01:41is being unveiled today, as ministers launch a consultation

2:01:41 > 2:01:44on moving to a system of 'presumed consent'.

2:01:44 > 2:01:46The reform would mean opting out of being a donor,

2:01:46 > 2:01:49rather than the current scheme of opting in.

2:01:49 > 2:01:51Wales has already taken that approach, and the Scottish

2:01:51 > 2:01:54Government is planning to introduce a similar scheme.

2:01:54 > 2:01:59Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

2:01:59 > 2:02:02Offering a stranger the gift of life is what lies

2:02:02 > 2:02:06at the heart of organ donation.

2:02:06 > 2:02:10These are the names of those who've helped some of the 6,500 people

2:02:10 > 2:02:13who need a transplant each year, but around 450 will die before

2:02:13 > 2:02:15a donor can be found.

2:02:15 > 2:02:17The family of Adrian Williams were happy to support

2:02:17 > 2:02:20his decision to donate.

2:02:20 > 2:02:24When you lose someone, and they've given that gift,

2:02:24 > 2:02:29that huge gift, you're immensely proud of them and it fills

2:02:29 > 2:02:32you with comfort that other families are actually enjoying the lives

2:02:32 > 2:02:35of their loved ones, where they may not have done,
