Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:11 | |
Big changes could be on the way
to organ donor rules. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
In future, people may have to opt
out of the transplant | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
register in England. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:18 | |
Health chiefs say it
will help save lives. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
Good morning. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
It's Tuesday, December 12. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:38 | |
Also this morning: Four people have
been arrested on suspicion of murder | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
after three children died
in a house fire in Salford. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
It's offically been
the coldest night of the year. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Temperatures plummeted
to -13 in Shropshire. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:57 | |
And that leads us into a cold day,
but mostly dry one, with some | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
sunshine for much of the UK, when we
lose the freezing fog patches this | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
morning, but later wet and windy
conditions return from the west. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
There's a growing shortage of lorry
drivers on our roads - | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
particularly at this time of year. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
I'm looking at how online shopping
is affecting the jobs market. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
In sport, the fallout
from the Manchester derby goes on. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
The FA have asked United
and City for observations | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
after their post-match bust-up,
which left City coach Mikel Arteta | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
injured when he was hit
by a plastic bottle. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
First, our main story. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
Just gone 6am. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
A radical change to the rules around
organ donation in England | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
is being unveiled today,
as ministers launch a consultation | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
on moving to a system
of presumed consent. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
The reform would mean opting
out of being a donor, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
rather than the current
scheme of opting in. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Wales has already taken that
approach, and the Scottish | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Government is planning
to introduce a similar scheme. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Our health correspondent
Dominic Hughes reports. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
Offering a stranger the gift of life
is what lies at the heart of organ | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
donation. These are the names of
those who have helped some of the | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
six and a half thousand people who
need transplant each year but around | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
450 will die before a donor can be
found. The family of Adrian Williams | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
were happy to support his decision
to donate. When you lose someone and | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
they have given that gift, that huge
gift, you are immensely proud of | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
them and it fills you with comfort
that other families are enjoying the | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
lives of their loved ones where they
may not have done because of | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
something that our Ade has done for
them. The last decade has seen a | 0:02:34 | 0:02:41 | |
surge in donors across the UK. In
2007 there were around 790 deceased | 0:02:41 | 0:02:49 | |
donors, rising to 1400. The number
of registered donors has gone up | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
from 14 million to more than 23
million. Ministers are concerned | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
that four out of ten families say no
to donation. So they are proposing a | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
system it is assumed we are all
willing to be donors. The issue of | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
presumed consent is one thing we are
looking at. What we need is much | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
better communication with families
so people know what family members | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
want. There are some concerns moving
to a system where there is an | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
assumption we are willing to donate
could be counter-productive, I'm | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
doing the good work of recent years
by raising fears over the government | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
having a claim on our organs --
undoing. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Four people are being questioned
on suspicion of murder, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
after three children died in a house
fire in Salford early yesterday. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Their mother and another
three-year-old child remain | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
in a critical condition. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
Our correspondent Dave Guest
is live at the scene. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
Good morning, Dave. What more can
you tell us? Good morning. Yes, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:53 | |
well, just over 24 hours ago fire
crews came to the street in Greater | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Manchester to find a terrace house
ablaze. And mother and four children | 0:03:57 | 0:04:03 | |
were trapped inside. They were
rescued. Sadly, a 14-year-old girl | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
known locally as Demmi, a girl of
seven and a boy of eight found in | 0:04:08 | 0:04:15 | |
hospital. Their mother Michelle is
fighting for her life in hospital, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
as is a three-year-old girl. What
appeared to be a tragedy at first | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
became something more sinister, when
the police announced they had | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
launched a murder investigation. As
you say, overnight four people have | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
been arrested on suspicion of murder
and if it has been arrested on | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
suspicion of assisting an offender.
-- and a fifth person has been | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
arrested. The community came to the
local church to light candles and | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
say prayers in memory of those died
and to pray for those fighting for | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
their lives. Thank you for that this
morning. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
Icy conditions are expected to cause
further disruption to road and rail | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
travel in parts of the UK,
following another night | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
of sub-zero temperatures. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
The Met Office has extended yellow
warnings for snow and ice | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
until later this morning
and the AA has warned driving | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
could be hazardous. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
Hundreds of schools will stay closed
for a second successive day. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
And Carol will have a fall
round up of the weather | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
in a few minutes' time. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
And throughout the morning we will
have a good look at that. I want to | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
know what the temperatures are. I
was disappointed with minus five. I | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
was hoping for minus 12. You want to
double figures. Just interesting. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:34 | |
Carol will have the details for you
later. Take care. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
The Mayor of New York,
Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
explosion next to the city's busiest
bus station as an isolated | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
attempted terrorist attack. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
The suspect, who was injured
in the blast, is a 27-year-old | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Bangladeshi who moved
to the United States six years ago. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
President Trump said it showed
the need for Congress to toughen | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
immigration policy. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
This attack underscores the need for
Congress to work with the President | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
on immigration reforms that in Hants
our national security and public | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
safety. We must protect our borders
and ensure individuals entering our | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
country a not coming to do harm to
our people and we must move to a | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
merit-based system of immigration. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
An influential American think tank
is warning that the British economy | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
is likely to be weakened by Brexit,
even if the UK agrees a new trade | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
deal with the EU. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
A report from the Rand Corporation,
which is part-funded by the US | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
government, says almost all trading
relationships after March 2019 | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
will be worse than Britain's current
membership of the EU. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Offering new mothers cash incentives
could significantly increase | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
breast-feeding rates
according to a new study. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
More than 10,000 new mums
were offered shopping vouchers worth | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
up to £120 if babies received
breast milk at two days, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
ten days and six weeks old. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
A further £80 of vouchers
was available if they continued | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
to receive breast milk
up to six months. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Adina Campbell reports. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:57 | |
Breast-feeding the newest member
of the Sutcliffe family | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
is a lot easier a second
time around but, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
after Fiona's first
daughter was born, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
she was spurred on by
shopping vouchers | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
during the toughest moments. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
It is really encouraged
me to keep going, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
especially when the night
was quite difficult | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
and I thought about giving
up breast-feeding | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
and that was another
incentive to keep going, | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
and especially given it's so easy
to sort of claim the vouchers. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:25 | |
Fiona was one of more than 10,000
mums who took part in a study | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
over 18 months. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:29 | |
They were offered up to £200
in shopping vouchers | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
at five different stages
of breast-feeding. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
£40 at two days old and the same
amount at ten days, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
six weeks, three
months and six months. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Before getting the vouchers,
claimed forms were signed off | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
by midwives or health
visitors during visits. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
Overall, the breast-feeding
rates went up by 6%, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
which researchers believe
is a big difference. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:57 | |
We do know that biologically
and physiologically, | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
we are designed to breast-feed. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
We know that 99% of women, given
the right support, can breastfeed. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:11 | |
There are plenty of
benefits to breast-feeding | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
but these mums in Sheffield
have mixed views | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
about being paid to do it. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
I don't think, you know,
it should really be monetary. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
And I think some people might get
persuaded just because of the money. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
If you can't do it, it's fine, too. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
But, yeah, having an incentive
wiill definitely help | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
and just get the message out there. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
The UK has some of the lowest
breast-feeding rates in the world. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
Researchers say vouchers
are a small price to pay | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
with long-term benefits
to babies and the NHS. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Adina Campbell, BBC News. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:48 | |
More on that a little later. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
Now, you might remember yesterday
you were sending in your fabulous | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
snow pictures, but I'm afraid
you've all been outdone, | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
because just look at this. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
You were dismissing it. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:06 | |
People have been
sending pictures of it. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
Why build a snowman
when an igloo is so much better? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
It took Benjamin Crutch
from Redditch eight hours to make | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
the igloo, using 500 snow bricks. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
He built it in his girlfriend's
garden and it looks like everybody | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
enjoyed it - even the dog. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:20 | |
That is epic. Should it ever happen
again, but it probably won't that I | 0:09:20 | 0:09:28 | |
would have enough snow in my garden,
I will genuinely try. Go home, get | 0:09:28 | 0:09:36 | |
out the plastic bag. The snow
changed text yesterday. Don't come | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
with your excuses. On the first day,
it was easy to pack, but yesterday | 0:09:40 | 0:09:46 | |
it was Sandy. I have a story
today... I am infuriated. Do you | 0:09:46 | 0:09:54 | |
know that the man flu exists.
LAUGHTER. It does, there is proper | 0:09:54 | 0:10:02 | |
scientific research. I will talk
about it later on. Honestly. Listen, | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
the headline, this doctor concluded
the idea of men exaggerating the | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
symptoms of the flu was potentially
unjust... Potentially! And man flu | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
was a fact. Potentially. This is a
huge development in medical science. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:24 | |
We will speak with a professor of
serology later. Excellent. Good | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
morning. Changing the subject. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
United and City are blaming
eachother and the FA have asked both | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
clubs for their observations
about the tunnel row, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
which left Mikel Arteta injured,
when he was hit by a plastic bottle. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
Look at that. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Milk and water were thrown at United
manager Jose Mourinho, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
after City's win at Old Trafford. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
Both Manchester clubs and Liverpool
got favourable ties in yesterday's | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
Champions League draw. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
But Chelsea will face
five-time winners Barcelona, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
and Tottenham take on Juventus. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
Saracens are caught cold
in the Champions Cup. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
They were heavily beaten
by Clermont Auvergne in a match | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
rearranged because of snow. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:05 | |
It was Sarries first European defeat
for two and a half years. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:11 | |
And Jonny Bairstow tells us that
despite all of England's on and off | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
the field problems during the Ashes
tour so far, they can | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
still get things right. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
Did you like the way I completely
distracted from that nonsense that | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
we were talking about earlier? It
was a few months ago I had about a | 0:11:21 | 0:11:27 | |
man flu, I did manage to come
through it. You were making a fuss. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
I didn't even talk about it. You
did! UK me to work with man flu. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:37 | |
Some people just have to soldier on,
do you know what I mean, dig deep? I | 0:11:37 | 0:11:44 | |
wouldn't know! At what point shall I
talk about the man flu? I get the | 0:11:44 | 0:11:51 | |
feeling that you are going to talk
about it all day. Let's do the front | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
pages. Horrible news about... Lots
of the papers have Keith Chegwin, | 0:11:55 | 0:12:02 | |
who dies at the age of 60. We will
reflect on this later on. So many | 0:12:02 | 0:12:08 | |
beautiful tributes to what a nice
man he was. And so many generations | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
people used to wake up with him in
the morning. And recently, if you | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
followed him on Twitter, at this
time of day he was sent out a joke. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
You used to laugh at his jokes in
the morning. I laughed at them every | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
day. And Brexit is good news for us
all, bullish May says we will | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
benefit from the deal with Brussels.
This is interesting in the Guardian, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
talking about Grenfell and the
families called to be heard, we know | 0:12:34 | 0:12:40 | |
there is a public enquiry of course
starting, and a really interesting | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
story, can you see this object, it
has come from interstellar space, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
apparently, and astronomers will use
one of the largest telescopes to | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
check and mysterious object which is
speeding through the solar system, | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
looking for signs of alien
technology, they will listen to it | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
today and they think it is an
extraordinary object and they really | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
don't know much about it so they
will try to find out what it is. OK. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
We are talking about the Mayor of
New York Bill De Blasio and this is | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
what was happening, the bomb injured
under the underpass after detonating | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
a home-made pipe-bomb and the main
story is passengers denied cheap | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
Christmas rail tickets. I am sure
that Steph will talk about it. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:25 | |
Theresa May talking about web
giants, social media giants facing | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
fines or prosecution for failing to
remove racist, extremist or child | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
sex abuse content, and Dame Helen
Mirren in the Leisure Seeker, one of | 0:13:34 | 0:13:43 | |
12 nominees for the Golden Globe
award. The front of the Daily Mirror | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
with Keith Chegwin, even when he
needed an oxygen tank, he was and | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
soul of the party, and it is colder
than Moscow. Road, rail and air | 0:13:52 | 0:13:58 | |
misery as temperatures plummet to a
five-year low of -15, -5 at outside | 0:13:58 | 0:14:04 | |
the Minchin household last night. -4
outside mine. Cold temperatures can | 0:14:04 | 0:14:09 | |
really accelerate the man flu. I
thought it might. I will give you | 0:14:09 | 0:14:14 | |
some more details. And don't go on
for ages because I need time. Why | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
are you looking at me? Just keep
talking. Whatever happens, we need | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
to talk about the research. I am
starting chapter one of my long | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
story.
LAUGHTER There it is an interesting | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
story in the Daily Mail about cash
machine. I have talked about bank | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
closures across various towns. They
are saying here that now pubs and | 0:14:35 | 0:14:40 | |
small shops could lose up to 1500
free cash machines because of a | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
dispute over fees. So apparently
banks are demanding a reduction in | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
the levy they pay when customers use
the cash machines run by the | 0:14:49 | 0:14:54 | |
independent operators and they are
arguing about it. And in the story | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
they talk about Lynton in North
Devon where there are no cash | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
machines at all, which is a
nightmare for tourists. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:07 | |
Shall I do U? Bear with me as I get
the back page ready. -- shall I do | 0:15:07 | 0:15:18 | |
chapter two. This could make a real
difference to the nation. Sally? Are | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
you done? Back page of the Mail,
everyone is talking about whatever | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
happened in the tunnel at Old
Trafford the other day. Mikel | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Arteta, who apparently was hit by a
bottle, going into training | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
yesterday he made the clever move of
doing that. How many times have we | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
walked into work just doing that but
he's obviously trying to hide some | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
kind of injury that happened to his
face. I don't think that's the best | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
thing you could do because it is
clear something has happened. The | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
papers have gone into great detail
about what might have happened in | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
the tunnel, where the home and away
dressing rooms are, and one of the | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
things Jo is a didn't like about
Manchester City was they played | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
their music too loud -- Jose
Mourinho didn't like. The Manchester | 0:16:04 | 0:16:10 | |
United players could hear the
Manchester City players celebrating. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
I love the diagrams, who was
standing were. What's frustrating, | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
here we are again, not talking about
the way United played, we are | 0:16:18 | 0:16:24 | |
talking about Jose Mourinho.
Distraction techniques! I really | 0:16:24 | 0:16:30 | |
feel this is important news, because
for years women have been saying man | 0:16:30 | 0:16:36 | |
flu doesn't exist, men should get on
and carry on and not talk about the | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
fact that... I hate to say it, man
up! There's medical evidence, many | 0:16:40 | 0:16:48 | |
acute respiratory diseases men are
more susceptible to convocation is | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
four and had a higher mortality
rate. The study also found some | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
evidence supporting the claim men
suffer more from viral respiratory | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
illness because of a less robust
immune system. Hang on, our women | 0:16:59 | 0:17:06 | |
stronger than men, is that the
conclusion? The conclusion is you | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
need to have more sympathy for a
Manuel he is suffering... Can I | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
finish -- for a man when he is
suffering. It is all potentially | 0:17:14 | 0:17:23 | |
unjust and man flu, will write it
down, man flu was a fact. -- I'll | 0:17:23 | 0:17:30 | |
write it down. A biologist is saying
I don't think there's any evidence | 0:17:30 | 0:17:36 | |
men suffer worse symptoms than women
when it comes to colds or viral | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
illnesses. I refer you to the
Canadian organisation that said that | 0:17:39 | 0:17:46 | |
man flu is a fact. We will be
talking about this later! Do you | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
want to go and have a lie down? We
are finished now. Like many men | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
around the nation I'm going to
soldier on and get on with it! It's | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
a tough light! -- life. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
Do Christmas cracker jokes make
you grin or make you groan? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:11 | |

The UKTV channel Gold has unveiled
the winner of its annual competition | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
to find the best modern
take on that staple | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
of the Christmas dinner table. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
And here it is. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
Why was Theresa May sacked
as Nativity manager? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
I don't know. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
She couldn't run
a stable government. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Tumbleweed. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
We asked revellers in Manchester
to tell us some others | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
from the shortlist,
as well as a couple of their own. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
What does Santa get when he gets
stuck in the chimney? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:57 | |
Clausetraphobia. Where does Jeremy
Corbyn hang his stockings? On the | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
far left. How does a snowman get to
school? He rides his bicicles. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:18 | |
Thank you for those. We will be
talking about Christmas jokes later. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
Here's Carol with a look
at this morning's weather. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
The cold weather can really
accelerate man flu, that's the big | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
news this morning. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
Moving | 0:19:38 | 0:19:39 | |
Moving on! We have just had the
coldest night of the calendar year | 0:19:39 | 0:19:44 | |
so far, the Calders night of the
winter in Shropshire, the | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
temperature fell to -13 and the last
time we had levels like this was | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
2014 and we had -14 -- coldest
night. You can see from this | 0:19:52 | 0:19:58 | |
beautiful Weather Watchers pictures
sent in from mid Wales yesterday, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
lovely sunshine but lying snow. --
picture. We have that today and | 0:20:02 | 0:20:08 | |
these are the temperatures in the
countryside, there's the -13 in | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
Shropshire. This morning a cold and
frosty start and freezing fog | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
patches slow to clear so if you're
travelling, bear that in mind and | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
still lying slow around, still quite
frozen, had to scrape the car first | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
thing and it took ages, it was thick
-- lying snow. A lot of coldweather | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
first thing, watch out for the highs
but sunshine from the word go and | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
freezing fog patches dotted around.
Slow to clear. More cloud coming in | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
around at times in south-west
England and some showers in west | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
Wales and here we have freezing fog
patches but in between, a fair bit | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
of sunshine. North-west England
getting off to a cold and frosty | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
start with sunshine and the same in
Northern Ireland but here the cloud | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
will build through the day, as it
will across western Scotland. But | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
for now a lot of clearer skies,
cold, especially in the countryside, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:05 | |
especially where we still have lying
snow and the same in north-east | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
England, again, a cold and frosty is
to the day with the risk of ice on | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
untreated surfaces. Through the day
there will be a lot of beautiful | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
winter sunshine, a cracking day, but
in the west of the cloud will | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
thicken and we will see outbreaks of
rain and also it will turn windier | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
with snow in the hills of Scotland,
Northern Ireland and also north | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
Wales, Sabrina north-west England
later as well. Through the evening | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
and overnight, this band of rain
preceded by hill snow moves from the | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
west towards the south-east --
possibly north-west England later as | 0:21:38 | 0:21:44 | |
well. Another weather front coming,
bringing more snow into Scotland. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:50 | |
Look at the change in the
temperatures, no sign of -13. But | 0:21:50 | 0:21:56 | |
this is towns and cities, in rural
areas with lying snow, the | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
temperatures will be lower than
that. As we head through Wednesday, | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
we have this weather front coming
from the west, introducing more | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
rain, still quite windy conditions
and squally conditions with cold air | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
following behind so a dry and bright
start them our weather front sinks | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
south, taking showery outbreaks of
rain, some will be heavy. Colder air | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
follows in, some sunshine and then
we see an increase in some snow | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
showers. Some will be in low levels,
initially in Scotland and Northern | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
Ireland, but still we don't know how
far the snow will get to low levels | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
but something to watch, possibly
through north Wales and north-west | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
England for the rush hour we could
see more at low levels. We're | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
keeping a close eye on that. Thanks,
Carol, thanks for keeping us up to | 0:22:41 | 0:22:47 | |
date and we will speak to you in
half an hour. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
Nearly six months on from
the fire at Grenfell Tower, | 0:22:50 | 0:22:56 | |
Kensington and Chelsea Council says
it's leading the biggest | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
house-purchasing programme by any
local authority in recent history. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
It's promising to make
300 new properties | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
available by Christmas, | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
but so far just 45 of the 208
families have moved into permanent | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
homes, and many are expected
to still be in temporary | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
accommodation over
the festive period. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:11 | |
Our reporter Frankie McCamley has
been given access to some | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
of the new properties
available to residents. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:24 | |
So this is a 2-bedroom | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
So this is a 2-bedroom flat we've
acquired this week. It's going on | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
the website.
This is just one of the new council | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
properties bought for people who
lost their homes because of the fire | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
at Grenfell Tower. Typically you
would either have a couple, who | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
would have had a 2-bedroom flat at
Grenfell Tower, or you'd have a | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
couple with a child, a single child
for a second bedroom. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
Of the 208 households, 45 have so
far moved into permanent homes. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:53 | |
Just over three miles from Grenfell
Tower, this is one of 70 2-bedroom | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
properties the council are buying.
It hopes to acquire 300 by | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
Christmas, spending 235 and pounds.
The pace has been very slow, but | 0:24:03 | 0:24:09 | |
equally, you know, we have been
gathering information as far as what | 0:24:09 | 0:24:14 | |
people want but we stress we always
run at the pace of the individual, | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
we don't run at our pace or set a
dictation saying people must be out | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
at a certain time. But many don't
think they will be in these | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
permanent homes any time soon. Hi,
Thiago. How are you doing? This is | 0:24:26 | 0:24:32 | |
your room, this is your home? Yeah.
Basically keep my shoes, some | 0:24:32 | 0:24:38 | |
trousers that people have given me.
This is basically your kitchen... | 0:24:38 | 0:24:45 | |
After escaping from the 13th floor
of Grenfell Tower, Thiago theirs has | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
lived in this hotel for nearly six
months. My toiletries, there's not | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
much to say... He's now waiting for
a 1-bedroom council flat. I don't | 0:24:53 | 0:24:59 | |
really feel at home here, this is
basically a place for me to sleep. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
You can't make a home out of a
hotel. I applied for about 15 | 0:25:03 | 0:25:08 | |
properties permanently and I've not
had the opportunity to go and see | 0:25:08 | 0:25:13 | |
any of the properties. Now, the
reason for that is there's a | 0:25:13 | 0:25:18 | |
priority listing, to which I
completely understand, there's | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
people that need this house more
than made but the way he is trying | 0:25:21 | 0:25:26 | |
to say we're trying to allow people
to go at their own pace, that's not | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
the case, I haven't been offered a
permanent property at all, I haven't | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
been allowed to see any permanent
properties. What happens when you | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
apply and apply and you get no
response? It seems like they care | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
more about me as a number than me as
an individual. It's all very formal, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:47 | |
almost like them being cold. They
really don't care. They care more | 0:25:47 | 0:25:53 | |
about their public image than they
do about actually helping the people | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
who have gone through such a large
trauma. The council has now given | 0:25:56 | 0:26:02 | |
Tiago a temporary home and it says
it's working around the clock but | 0:26:02 | 0:26:07 | |
rehousing breathed and those with
children are its priority. Tiago is | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
looking forward to getting out of
here before Christmas. Word Frankie | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |

Good morning. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:44 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
A radical change to the rules around
organ donation in England | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
is being unveiled today,
as ministers launch a consultation | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
on moving to a system
of presumed consent. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
The reform would mean opting
out of being a donor, | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
rather than the current
scheme of opting in. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
Wales has already taken that
approach, and the Scottish | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
Government is planning
to introduce a similar scheme. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:12 | |
Temperatures of -13 have been
recorded in Shropshire on the | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
coldest night of the year so far. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:19 | |
The Met Office has extended yellow
warnings for snow and ice | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
until later this morning
and the AA has warned driving | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
could be hazardous. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:25 | |
Hundreds of schools will stay closed
for a second successive day. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
And Carol will have a fall
round up of the weather | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
in a few minutes' time. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
Four people have been arrested
on suspicion of murder after three | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
children died in a house fire
in Salford, Greater Manchester, | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
in the early hours
of Monday morning. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
A 14-year-old girl, named
locally as Demi Pearson, | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
was pronounced dead at the scene,
and an eight-year-old boy and a girl | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
aged seven died in hospital. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
Their mother, named
as Michelle Pearson, | 0:31:50 | 0:31:51 | |
and a three year old are still
in a serious condition. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
A vigil was held for
the victims last night. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:58 | |
The Mayor of New York,
Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
explosion next to the city's busiest
bus station as an isolated | 0:32:02 | 0:32:05 | |
attempted terrorist attack. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:05 | |
The suspect, who was injured
in the blast, is a 27-year-old | 0:32:05 | 0:32:09 | |
Bangladeshi who moved
to the United States six years ago. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
President Trump said it showed
the need for Congress to toughen | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
immigration policy. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:20 | |
This attack underscores the need
for Congress to work | 0:32:20 | 0:32:26 | |
with the President on immigration
reforms that enhance our national | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
security and public safety. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:34 | |
We must protect our borders,
we must ensure that individuals | 0:32:34 | 0:32:38 | |
entering our country are not coming
to do harm to our people and we must | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
move to a merit-based
system of immigration. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
An influential American think tank
is warning that the British economy | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
is likely to be weakened by Brexit,
even if the UK agrees a new trade | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
deal with the EU. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
A report from the Rand Corporation,
which is part-funded by the US | 0:32:52 | 0:32:56 | |
government, says almost all trading
relationships after March 2019 | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
will be worse than Britain's current
membership of the EU. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:03 | |
Research suggests offering shopping
vouchers to new mothers can | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |

breastfeed their babies. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:07 | |

in Yorkshire, Derbyshire | 0:33:07 | 0:33:09 | |
and Nottinghamshire were offered up
to £200 in vouchers as an incentive. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:13 | |
Breast-feeding rates
increased in these areas, | 0:33:13 | 0:33:14 | |
which typically have low uptake. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
Breast-feeding levels in the UK
are some of the lowest in the world. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:22 | |
One of the most destructive
wildfires in California's history | 0:33:22 | 0:33:30 | |
- we talked about this yesterday -
is heading towards the city of Santa | 0:33:30 | 0:33:34 | |
Barbara. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:34 | |
Firefighters are battling six
fires across the state, | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
with the largest having scorched
an area of 230,000 acres. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
Governor Jerry Brown has
described the situation | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
as the new normal,
predicting that fires | 0:33:42 | 0:33:47 | |
like this could happen every
year. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:51 | |
And we have been reporting on this
for days. It is an area the size of | 0:33:51 | 0:34:00 | |
New York City, which is fast, and
thank you for the messages on man | 0:34:00 | 0:34:05 | |
flu research. COUGHS. As if on cue,
she coughs. Are you OK? I am fine, | 0:34:05 | 0:34:15 | |
thanks. Many have got in touch to
say it is particularly difficult at | 0:34:15 | 0:34:21 | |
this time of year. We've got to get
to the bottom of it, Sally. We have | 0:34:21 | 0:34:26 | |
a professor of virology. And he
says? He is unsure. He hasn't seen | 0:34:26 | 0:34:37 | |
the research from the Canadian
institute, which is a fact, which is | 0:34:37 | 0:34:43 | |
important news for the entire
nation. I think we are perhaps a | 0:34:43 | 0:34:47 | |
little over man flu right now. You
see, this is the situation that men | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
get in their homes all the time.
They feel ill, they struggle on | 0:34:51 | 0:34:57 | |
through, and there is no
appreciation. You say they are | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
struggling on through. Yes, OK.
Morning, everyone. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:06 | |
The FA have asked United and City
for their observations after City | 0:35:06 | 0:35:09 | |
coach Mikel Arteta was cut
on the head by a plastic bottle. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
It's not known who threw it
but United manager Jose Mourinho | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
also had milk and
water thrown at him. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
It appears the row started
when Mourinho objected to City's | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
celebrations after
their 2-1 victory. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
Both City and United were in
the draw for the Champions League | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
knockout stages yesterday,
and they got pretty favourable ties | 0:35:28 | 0:35:29 | |
against Basel and Sevilla. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:33 | |
Liverpool will play Porto
and Spurs take on Juventus. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
And with a record five English teams
through to the knock-out stage, | 0:35:35 | 0:35:39 | |
the 2012 champions Chelsea have
arguably the toughest tie, | 0:35:39 | 0:35:41 | |
they'll face the five-time
winners Barcelona. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:48 | |
Our mission is to be positive, and
as they know very well, when we are | 0:35:48 | 0:35:57 | |
in this stage, you must be ready to
face everything and, in this case, | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
we must be ready to face Barcelona. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:04 | |
A long weekend, described
as absurd by their opponents | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
finished with Saracens' worst defeat
in rugby unions' European Champions | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
Cup. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:10 | |
Clermont Auvergne thrashed
their hosts by 46 points to 14, | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
ending Saracens' two and a half year
unbeaten run in Europe. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:15 | |
The match had been put back
a day because of snow, | 0:36:15 | 0:36:19 | |
with fans initially banned
then allowed to attend. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
There are some stinging comments
in the papers this morning | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
from former England captain
Michael Vaughan, who says | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
the current side are behaving
like students and the senior players | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
need to step up and be role models
to the youngsters coming through. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:33 | |
Another former captain,
Alistair Cook, says he believes | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
they're getting a bad press. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:41 | |
I hadn't think we are getting
painted fairly in the media on our | 0:36:41 | 0:36:48 | |
culture. Clearly there have been a
couple of things which, it sounds | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
silly to say it, in the media have
been brought up, but there was | 0:36:51 | 0:36:56 | |
change after the September incident,
so it is up to us to adjust to that | 0:36:56 | 0:37:00 | |
quickly and we can't afford any
mistakes because we understand that | 0:37:00 | 0:37:05 | |
they have had it with the ECB and
trying to make kids play cricket, | 0:37:05 | 0:37:09 | |
which is what we want to do. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
Skiier Lindsey Vonn,
who missed the 2014 Olympics | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
because of injury, is having more
problems in the build up to the 2018 | 0:37:14 | 0:37:18 | |
Games in Pyeonchang. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:19 | |
The former World Champion fell
to the ground as her back seized | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
up during a Super-G race
in Switzerland at the weekend. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
But the American believes she can be
fit in time to win a second Olympic | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
gold in two months. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:31 | |
Everything that I have done has been
in preparation for these Olympics, | 0:37:31 | 0:37:36 | |
so right now I am trying to stay
healthy going in. So far it is not | 0:37:36 | 0:37:42 | |
going very well, but, you know, I
feel I am saving all my luck for | 0:37:42 | 0:37:48 | |
February and hopefully everything
will work out the way it is supposed | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
to. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:53 | |
When it comes to footballers
and statues, the results have been | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
pretty mixed to say the least. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:57 | |
Cristiano Ronaldo's bust
at Madeira Airport had to be remade | 0:37:57 | 0:38:01 | |
Now, it's Diego Maradona's turn. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
The Argentinian legend
unveiling his own statue | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
in the Indian city of Kolkata,
which will be put in a public park. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:13 | |
This is supposed to be him
holding the 1986 World Cup. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
Oh, no.
LAUGHTER | 0:38:16 | 0:38:21 | |
it looks like your nan. It looks
like Bilbo Baggins. It is very tall. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:37 | |
Really big hair. He always had good
hair. That is a bit of a letdown, | 0:38:37 | 0:38:43 | |
isn't it, and look at the size of
the Cup! The World Cup has always | 0:38:43 | 0:38:48 | |
been tiny. Everything about that is
wrong. Isn't it excellent? It is my | 0:38:48 | 0:38:53 | |
favourite story of the day. Thank
you. That is really poor, isn't it? | 0:38:53 | 0:38:59 | |
Thank you. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:00 | |
Almost half a million
children and young people, | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
some as young as 11,
are gambling every week. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:05 | |
A new survey from the Gambling
Commission is highlighting websites, | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
which allow players to gamble
with virtual currency, | 0:39:08 | 0:39:10 | |
which can then be
turned into real money. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
It says children don't fully
understand the consequences. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:15 | |
Ryan Archer started gambling at 15,
and has lost more than 2,000 pounds | 0:39:15 | 0:39:18 | |
on these sites. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:23 | |
Being a student, with a student
loan, some people would spend it on | 0:39:23 | 0:39:31 | |
expensive clothes, I spend it on
gambling. There are been times when | 0:39:31 | 0:39:37 | |
I struggled to buy food because this
takes priority. Four years ago | 0:39:37 | 0:39:42 | |
Ryan's love of gambling spiralled.
He is one of a growing number of | 0:39:42 | 0:39:49 | |
gamers drawn into the world of
so-called Skins betting. It is hard | 0:39:49 | 0:39:54 | |
to ask your parents or £1000 to buy
a knife, it is a lot easier to ask | 0:39:54 | 0:40:01 | |
for a tenner and turn it into 1000.
These are the skins, knives and | 0:40:01 | 0:40:09 | |
weapons, virtual items used when
playing computer games like Counter | 0:40:09 | 0:40:16 | |
Strike, or CS Go. Some can be bought
for pennies. The rare ones cost | 0:40:16 | 0:40:23 | |
thousands and are highly
collectable. They exist within the | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
game. As these teenagers know, there
are unlicensed sites where skins can | 0:40:26 | 0:40:32 | |
be gambled and later converted into
cash. You don't see an 11-year-old | 0:40:32 | 0:40:37 | |
walk into a betting shop and
abetting 200 on a horse race, you | 0:40:37 | 0:40:42 | |
know, but you can do it with this,
there is no stopping that. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:46 | |
We're joined now by Jane Rigbye
from Gamble Aware. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
Good morning. I didn't know about
these so-called skins. So she has | 0:40:50 | 0:40:58 | |
explained a little bit. Tell us a
little more about it. They are sort | 0:40:58 | 0:41:02 | |
of in-game things you can win. Yes,
equipment you can use in-game to | 0:41:02 | 0:41:07 | |
play the game and you can win them
through playing the game and you can | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
also buy them. And young people are
trading them and gambling them in | 0:41:11 | 0:41:17 | |
different ways. How do they gamble
than? There are different ways. In | 0:41:17 | 0:41:21 | |
the game itself, there is an
activity where people can put them | 0:41:21 | 0:41:26 | |
together in a pot and the odds are
based on who has put the most into | 0:41:26 | 0:41:30 | |
the pot and you can win the pot.
That doesn't necessarily use real | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
money. Then external websites, you
can gamble these pieces of Clement, | 0:41:33 | 0:41:38 | |
guns or knives, things you can use
in the game, and that is where the | 0:41:38 | 0:41:43 | |
concern comes in. There was an
example of a 15-year-old with £2000. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:49 | |
In terms of the responsibility to
act, where does that like? It is | 0:41:49 | 0:41:55 | |
really difficult because the current
legislation hasn't kept up with the | 0:41:55 | 0:41:58 | |
form of technology. It does not fall
within the remit of the regulator | 0:41:58 | 0:42:04 | |
the Gambling Commission. They need
to do more to look at the | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
legislation to make sure it looks up
-- keeps up with the changes. You | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
talked about 11 -year-olds. What
sort of age groups can be on the | 0:42:11 | 0:42:15 | |
games and potentially doing gambling
of this sort? Any age and the | 0:42:15 | 0:42:19 | |
concern is parents are not often
aware of what young people are doing | 0:42:19 | 0:42:23 | |
while they are on games and my
six-year-old, for example, plays | 0:42:23 | 0:42:26 | |
games online and plays on his
PlayStation and I don't really know | 0:42:26 | 0:42:31 | |
what he is doing. And there is
concern that parents don't really | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
know what is happening when they are
in the game. You think it is just | 0:42:34 | 0:42:38 | |
video gaming and it is not as safe
as it looks. What about the impact | 0:42:38 | 0:42:43 | |
more generally outside of these
games? I've read some research 80% | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
of young people have seen gambling
adverts on the TV and they are | 0:42:46 | 0:42:50 | |
everywhere, especially if you watch
any sporting occasion, normally on a | 0:42:50 | 0:42:54 | |
commercial channels and those
adverts inside the programme will | 0:42:54 | 0:42:59 | |
always have quite a fun, friendly
gambling adverts. I wonder if that | 0:42:59 | 0:43:03 | |
is having a drip effect as well.
Advertising is everywhere for | 0:43:03 | 0:43:08 | |
gambling. We see it all over the
place. And what we need to do is | 0:43:08 | 0:43:12 | |
recognise gambling is a legitimate
leisure activity and should be | 0:43:12 | 0:43:15 | |
allowed to be advertised. But it
should be balanced with a | 0:43:15 | 0:43:19 | |
responsible gambling message. There
should be more advertising and | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
promotion of the fact that it is a
risky activity. It is not one that | 0:43:21 | 0:43:26 | |
should be available to young people
and there are places to go for help | 0:43:26 | 0:43:34 | |
and support. What kind of
conversations would you like parents | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
to have with their children? I think
parents should be explaining what | 0:43:37 | 0:43:40 | |
gambling is, what the risks are. The
fact that gambling isn't a way to | 0:43:40 | 0:43:44 | |
make money. The report out today
shows 40% of young people think | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
gambling is a way to make money
which shows a fundamental | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
misunderstanding of what gambling
is. So I think there is a job of | 0:43:50 | 0:43:54 | |
parents to have conversations with
young people about what gambling is | 0:43:54 | 0:43:57 | |
an also for the rest of us to make
sure these conversations are | 0:43:57 | 0:44:00 | |
happening in the same way we talk
about drugs or alcohol in schools, | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
we should talk about gambling as
well. OK, thank you very much. It is | 0:44:04 | 0:44:08 | |
good to talk to you.
It is 6:44am, let's bring you | 0:44:08 | 0:44:12 | |
up-to-date with the main stories. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:16 | |
Ministers are proposing a radical | 0:44:16 | 0:44:17 | |
change to organ donation rules,
which could mean people have to opt | 0:44:17 | 0:44:20 | |
out of being on the register. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:22 | |
They say the move would make more
organs available for transplant. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
Four people have been arrested
on suspicion of murder after three | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
children died in a house
fire in Salford. | 0:44:28 | 0:44:35 | |

It was the coldest night of the
at this morning's weather. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:42 | |
It was the coldest night of the year
at this morning's weather. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:42 | |
It was the coldest night of the year
last night. Many people waking up to | 0:44:42 | 0:44:44 | |
seems like that behind you. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:45 | |
Good morning. Last night the
temperature in Shropshire fell to | 0:44:47 | 0:44:52 | |
-13. The code is night of the year
so far. The last time we had | 0:44:52 | 0:44:58 | |
temperatures that low was the
brewery, 2016, in Braemar, where it | 0:44:58 | 0:45:03 | |
was -14 -- coldest night. It is
frosty and there's the risk of ice | 0:45:03 | 0:45:10 | |
on untreated surfaces. To give you
an idea of the temperatures we have | 0:45:10 | 0:45:14 | |
at the moment, there you go, -13. -5
in the north of England. If there's | 0:45:14 | 0:45:24 | |
the case of you being on the go this
morning, we have these warnings in | 0:45:24 | 0:45:30 | |
the south of Wales and the West
Midlands. In the south, a beautiful | 0:45:30 | 0:45:34 | |
start to the day, sunshine but cold,
especially in the countryside and as | 0:45:34 | 0:45:39 | |
we sweep from the south-west of
England into Wales, again, a | 0:45:39 | 0:45:43 | |
beautiful start but we have freezing
fog and a few showers. For | 0:45:43 | 0:45:47 | |
north-west England, a beautiful
start but pretty cold. May be the | 0:45:47 | 0:45:50 | |
odd shower across the Isle of Man
and through the day you will notice | 0:45:50 | 0:45:54 | |
more cloud building from the west
across Northern Ireland but for now | 0:45:54 | 0:45:58 | |
it is cold and also quite bright, or
it will be when the sun is out. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
Across Scotland, a similar story,
bright weather when the sun gets up | 0:46:02 | 0:46:07 | |
but again, pockets of mist and the
same in north-east England, cold and | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
frosty with the risk of ice. When we
lose the fog, many of us will have a | 0:46:11 | 0:46:17 | |
dry morning and into the afternoon
many will have sunny spells | 0:46:17 | 0:46:20 | |
continuing, but in the west you will
notice the cloud thickening, wet and | 0:46:20 | 0:46:25 | |
windy weather is coming our way
preceded by hill snow, not just in | 0:46:25 | 0:46:29 | |
Scotland but Northern Ireland, north
Wales and north-west England. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:33 | |
Maximum temperatures up to around
four. It won't be as windy in the | 0:46:33 | 0:46:38 | |
south as it was yesterday. Through
the evening and overnight, our | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
weather front producing this rain
will continue to go south-east with | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
low snow for a time and then we have
a clearer interlude before another | 0:46:45 | 0:46:49 | |
system comes in from the west, this
one introducing more rain, showery | 0:46:49 | 0:46:55 | |
rain, and hill snow. Temperature
wise, not as low as last night, but | 0:46:55 | 0:47:00 | |
these temperatures are in towns and
cities, always lower in the | 0:47:00 | 0:47:04 | |
countryside, especially where we
have lying snow. We say goodbye to | 0:47:04 | 0:47:08 | |
our first one today early, the
second one moves south-east, behind | 0:47:08 | 0:47:13 | |
it we have cold air so again we will
see snow and the other salient thing | 0:47:13 | 0:47:17 | |
is the change in the wind direction
is more westerly. There goes our | 0:47:17 | 0:47:21 | |
front pushing down to the
south-east, showery with some heavy | 0:47:21 | 0:47:26 | |
bursts. Drier and bright interlude
with sunshine and then further snow | 0:47:26 | 0:47:30 | |
showers. Some of those will get down
to low levels in Scotland and | 0:47:30 | 0:47:34 | |
towards the end of the day we could
see low-level snow in Northern | 0:47:34 | 0:47:38 | |
Ireland. For the rush-hour, possibly
in north-west England and north | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
Wales, something we are keeping a
close eye on because it will | 0:47:42 | 0:47:46 | |
obviously impact on your journey.
More on that through the rest of the | 0:47:46 | 0:47:50 | |
morning. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:52 | |
Someone has told me -11 where you
are. -- they are. We wanting to hear | 0:47:54 | 0:47:59 | |
from lots of people this morning. We
are -5! You are disappointed, aren't | 0:47:59 | 0:48:05 | |
you? I wanted to know how cold it
felt at -12! We could sort that out | 0:48:05 | 0:48:11 | |
for you! | 0:48:11 | 0:48:11 | |
With more of us shopping
online ths Christmas, | 0:48:11 | 0:48:14 | |
there's a huge knock
on for the jobs market | 0:48:14 | 0:48:16 | |
and a bit of a shortage of qualified
drivers to get our goods delivered. | 0:48:16 | 0:48:20 | |
Steph has more. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:21 | |
It affects how we shop, how we
spend, the kinds of jobs that are | 0:48:21 | 0:48:24 | |
out there the people we need to do
that. There are some stats on that. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:32 | |
I'm going to start
with some good news, | 0:48:32 | 0:48:34 | |
there are more of us
in work than ever before. | 0:48:34 | 0:48:42 | |
Have a look at this graph, | 0:48:42 | 0:48:46 | |
now we're at a 42-year low. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:48 | |
So given there are fewer people
looking for work it means that some | 0:48:48 | 0:48:51 | |
sectors are struggling
to hire people. | 0:48:51 | 0:48:53 | |
One of the big shortages is of lorry | 0:48:53 | 0:48:55 | |
drivers, we need over 50,000 more
lorry drivers needed on our roads | 0:48:55 | 0:48:58 | |
this year. | 0:48:58 | 0:48:59 | |
That does mean | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
that truckers can push for higher
wages and could earn over £20 | 0:49:01 | 0:49:05 | |
an hour plus hundreds
in bonuses for a shift. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:11 | |
Amanda White is UK Operations
Manager at Manpower. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:15 | |
Looking at the situation with
haulage, why are we struggling to | 0:49:15 | 0:49:18 | |
get lorry drivers? We are seeing a
positive upturn with driving. It is | 0:49:18 | 0:49:26 | |
a shortage market, we are finding
there is less people coming into the | 0:49:26 | 0:49:30 | |
industry, less young people coming
into the industry, possibly due to | 0:49:30 | 0:49:35 | |
the unsocial hours. It is an ageing
workforce that we are finding as | 0:49:35 | 0:49:39 | |
well and also this particular sector
has relied on quite a lot of EU | 0:49:39 | 0:49:43 | |
workers in the past. Who obviously
some of them are working here | 0:49:43 | 0:49:48 | |
because they are worried about what
would happen after Brexit. The UK | 0:49:48 | 0:49:55 | |
has seen a high number of people who
have worked from other countries | 0:49:55 | 0:50:00 | |
here in the UK are now leaving,
maybe the interest rate isn't as | 0:50:00 | 0:50:06 | |
attractive as it once was and the
uncertainty of what will happen with | 0:50:06 | 0:50:09 | |
Brexit certainly has a knock on
effect. What are hauliers doing | 0:50:09 | 0:50:14 | |
about this? We have a number of
companies looking to increase | 0:50:14 | 0:50:18 | |
salaries, as you mentioned. We have
companies looking to offer bonuses | 0:50:18 | 0:50:23 | |
for completed shifts, so incentives
to see out the work that they are | 0:50:23 | 0:50:27 | |
doing. Also we are seeing a high
number of people stockpiling drivers | 0:50:27 | 0:50:32 | |
on permanent contracts, this is
probably what will happen in 2019 to | 0:50:32 | 0:50:39 | |
ensure they have the talent going
forward. What does that mean, to | 0:50:39 | 0:50:45 | |
stockpile them? It will increase the
number of people they take on. They | 0:50:45 | 0:50:49 | |
have people waiting in the wings who
they aren't using? They will use | 0:50:49 | 0:50:53 | |
them in their industry but they
might over recruit currently to make | 0:50:53 | 0:50:57 | |
sure they have the talent. Obviously
we encourage clients to look to up | 0:50:57 | 0:51:05 | |
skill their workforce. Manpower
itself has trained thousands of | 0:51:05 | 0:51:13 | |
people with the regulations do help
our clients fill this shortage. | 0:51:13 | 0:51:18 | |
Looking at the DVLA figures, they
say there are far more qualified | 0:51:18 | 0:51:22 | |
lorry drivers than jobs, which
suggests there are people with the | 0:51:22 | 0:51:25 | |
right skills but they don't want to
do the job. These statistics would | 0:51:25 | 0:51:30 | |
say that, yes. What about the wider
jobs picture at the moment? Although | 0:51:30 | 0:51:35 | |
the Manpower outlook survey looked
negative overall, there's quite a | 0:51:35 | 0:51:43 | |
few industries that are seeing
positive impacts. Certainly other | 0:51:43 | 0:51:48 | |
areas. If we look at the Midlands,
the golden triangle, between | 0:51:48 | 0:51:54 | |
Northampton, Milton Keynes and
Daventry, this is a high chelation | 0:51:54 | 0:51:58 | |
for haulage and we are seeing great
increase there. That was very high. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:05 | |
-- high population. Big regional
differences. Amanda, thanks for your | 0:52:05 | 0:52:11 | |
time this morning. That's it from me
for now. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
Molly Bloom has had
an extraordinary life. | 0:52:14 | 0:52:16 | |
She was a former world-class skier
whose career was cut short | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
after an accident. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:20 | |
She then went on to set up exclusive
high-stakes poker games | 0:52:20 | 0:52:23 | |
for Hollywood's elite. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:24 | |
But for all the wealth
and excitement of that lifestyle, | 0:52:24 | 0:52:26 | |
there was a very dark side. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:28 | |
Her story has now been
turned into a film. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
Jessica Chastain plays | 0:52:31 | 0:52:31 | |
the Poker Princess in Molly's
Game. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:33 | |
I went to meet them both. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:37 | |
When you heard her story, what was
it about... Why did you want to play | 0:52:37 | 0:52:43 | |
Molly? Well, first of all, I mean,
her story's incredible. She goes | 0:52:43 | 0:52:49 | |
from being, like, third in women's
moguls in Los Angeles to running the | 0:52:49 | 0:52:54 | |
most exclusive high-stakes poker
game in the world and unbeknownst to | 0:52:54 | 0:52:57 | |
her she gets involved with Russian
members of the Mafia and gets | 0:52:57 | 0:53:01 | |
indicted by the FBI.
They were going all in, all the | 0:53:01 | 0:53:04 | |
time.
It's extraordinary because you made | 0:53:04 | 0:53:07 | |
it quite some time ago but the
residents it now has post Harvey | 0:53:07 | 0:53:16 | |
Weinstein and everything, what do
you make of that? It didn't start | 0:53:16 | 0:53:19 | |
with Harvey Weinstein, what's been
going on in the world. When Erin was | 0:53:19 | 0:53:23 | |
writing this script, yes, it's very
timely now because it's at the | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
forefront but a great writer, writer
is ahead of that. He was perceiving | 0:53:26 | 0:53:30 | |
what was going on in the world.
You're going to stop paying me | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
because I get too much money doing
my second job? You don't have | 0:53:33 | 0:53:39 | |
bargaining power here. You are an
important. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:42 | |
Tell us about the atmosphere, it's
very clear in the film, but the | 0:53:42 | 0:53:47 | |
atmosphere in those games, at one
time they are respecting you, at | 0:53:47 | 0:53:51 | |
other times hitting on you.
It was a lot of, like, you know, I | 0:53:51 | 0:53:56 | |
will buy you a purse and I'll take
you on a date, that kind of stuff. | 0:53:56 | 0:54:01 | |
When I started being the bank, it
was more like, I'm not paying you | 0:54:01 | 0:54:06 | |
that $50,000 because that game was
unfair. There was a marked change in | 0:54:06 | 0:54:11 | |
how I was perceived and treated.
This comes to the heart of what | 0:54:11 | 0:54:15 | |
we're talking about now and Jessica,
you've been going out of your way to | 0:54:15 | 0:54:20 | |
big up people who feel like Molly,
able to speak out, haven't you? | 0:54:20 | 0:54:26 | |
Why are there so little, you know,
positions of power for women? Why | 0:54:26 | 0:54:32 | |
are women not sitting at the table
making the decisions? What's | 0:54:32 | 0:54:37 | |
happened is society has been
groomed. Women and men have been | 0:54:37 | 0:54:41 | |
groomed to behave a certain way and
that's because we don't have women | 0:54:41 | 0:54:45 | |
in leadership and there's no room at
the table for them. Is it going to | 0:54:45 | 0:54:49 | |
change? Is it going to have to
change and how? | 0:54:49 | 0:54:52 | |
It absolutely has to change. Right
now with Time Magazine having people | 0:54:52 | 0:54:58 | |
of the year as the #metoo movement,
it shows how important it is. 2017, | 0:54:58 | 0:55:03 | |
we're going to remember this year as
the time where people first... Not | 0:55:03 | 0:55:09 | |
first, but really came forward and
said we can't live in this | 0:55:09 | 0:55:12 | |
complicity any more, we have to move
against what is being programmed in | 0:55:12 | 0:55:16 | |
asp.
, on, Molly, how deep into the | 0:55:16 | 0:55:19 | |
Russian mob were you?
You ended up in shocking and violent | 0:55:19 | 0:55:24 | |
situations because of what you were
trying to do? | 0:55:24 | 0:55:26 | |
I started making reckless choices in
this world but the consequences were | 0:55:26 | 0:55:32 | |
much heavier than I imagined.
Thank you so much for talking to us | 0:55:32 | 0:55:36 | |
about it. Thank you so much, Molly,
thank you, Jess. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:41 | |
A fascinating chap, wasn't it? Both
of them really interesting to hear | 0:55:41 | 0:55:46 | |
from. | 0:55:46 | 0:55:46 | |
Molly's Game is at cinemas
from the first of January. | 0:55:46 | 0:55:49 | |
We will have a longer version of
that interview in about two hours. | 0:55:49 | 0:55:53 | |
There you go. Book that in! | 0:55:53 | 0:55:55 | |
You're watching Breakfast. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:56 | |
Still to come this morning: | 0:55:56 | 0:56:04 | |
Pope can't let our Seedorf him... --
O come let us adore him... | 0:56:04 | 0:56:11 | |
From Christmas Crooners
to raucous rockers, | 0:56:11 | 0:56:12 | |
we're on a mission to get
the whole of the UK singing. | 0:56:12 | 0:56:16 | |
A week from today we have six choirs
around the UK singing in various | 0:56:16 | 0:56:20 | |
places and we want you to sing along
at home. It will be a massive | 0:56:20 | 0:56:26 | |
Breakfast sing up. It's oh come all
Ye faithful, the lyrics are on our | 0:56:26 | 0:56:32 | |
Facebook site. We will do that
around 9am next Tuesday. Six choirs | 0:56:32 | 0:56:38 | |
and you. At home singing with us.
I'm sure it will work! | 0:56:38 | 0:56:43 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 0:56:43 | 1:00:01 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Louise and Dan. | 1:00:01 | 1:00:03 | |
Bye for now. | 1:00:03 | 1:00:04 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 1:00:08 | 1:00:10 | |
Big changes could be on the way
to organ donor rules. | 1:00:10 | 1:00:14 | |
In future, people may have to opt
out of the transplant | 1:00:14 | 1:00:16 | |
register in England. | 1:00:16 | 1:00:17 | |
Health chiefs say it
will help save lives. | 1:00:17 | 1:00:34 | |
Good morning. | 1:00:34 | 1:00:35 | |
It's Tuesday, December 12. | 1:00:35 | 1:00:36 | |
Also this morning. | 1:00:36 | 1:00:38 | |
It's offically been
the coldest night of the year. | 1:00:38 | 1:00:41 | |
Temperatures plummeted
to -13 in Shropshire. | 1:00:41 | 1:00:48 | |
And that leads us into a cold day,
but mostly dry one, with some | 1:00:48 | 1:00:54 | |
sunshine when we lose the freezing
fog patches this morning, | 1:00:54 | 1:00:57 | |
but later wet and windy conditions
return from the west. | 1:00:57 | 1:01:06 | |
Why giving new mums shopping
vouchers as a reward increased | 1:01:06 | 1:01:08 | |
the rates of breast-feeding. | 1:01:08 | 1:01:12 | |
One in ten of us working overtime
get the one and a half premium, so I | 1:01:12 | 1:01:17 | |
will look at why working beyond your
usual hours is becoming less | 1:01:17 | 1:01:22 | |
lucrative. | 1:01:22 | 1:01:22 | |
In sport, the fallout
from the Manchester derby goes on. | 1:01:22 | 1:01:25 | |
The FA have asked United
and City for observations | 1:01:25 | 1:01:27 | |
after their post-match bust-up,
which left City coach Mikel Arteta | 1:01:27 | 1:01:30 | |
injured when he was hit
by a plastic bottle. | 1:01:30 | 1:01:32 | |
Is man flu real or a myth? | 1:01:32 | 1:01:34 | |
New research suggests men might not
be putting it on after all, | 1:01:34 | 1:01:38 | |
but not everyone's convinced. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:39 | |
We will have more on that later. | 1:01:39 | 1:01:40 | |
Good morning. | 1:01:40 | 1:01:41 | |
First, our main story. | 1:01:41 | 1:01:42 | |
A radical change to the rules around
organ donation in England | 1:01:42 | 1:01:45 | |
is being unveiled today,
as ministers launch a consultation | 1:01:45 | 1:01:48 | |
on moving to a system
of presumed consent. | 1:01:48 | 1:01:50 | |
The reform would mean opting
out of being a donor, | 1:01:50 | 1:01:53 | |
rather than the current
scheme of opting in. | 1:01:53 | 1:01:55 | |
Wales has already taken that
approach, and the Scottish | 1:01:55 | 1:01:57 | |
Government is planning
to introduce a similar scheme. | 1:01:57 | 1:01:59 | |
Our health correspondent
Dominic Hughes reports. | 1:01:59 | 1:02:01 | |
Offering a stranger the gift of life
is what lies at the heart | 1:02:01 | 1:02:05 | |
of organ donation. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:15 | |
These are the names of those who've
helped some of the 6,500 people | 1:02:15 | 1:02:18 | |
who need transplant each
year, but around 450 | 1:02:18 | 1:02:20 | |
will die before
a donor can be found. | 1:02:20 | 1:02:22 | |
The family of Adrian Williams
were happy to support his | 1:02:22 | 1:02:25 | |
decision to donate. | 1:02:25 | 1:02:28 | |
When you lose someone,
and they've given that gift, | 1:02:28 | 1:02:32 | |
that huge gift, you're immensely
proud of them and it fills | 1:02:32 | 1:02:36 | |
you with comfort that other families
are actually enjoying the lives | 1:02:36 | 1:02:40 | |
of their loved ones,
where they may not have done, | 1:02:40 | 1:02:43 | |
because of something
that our Ade has done for them. | 1:02:43 | 1:02:49 | |
The past decade has seen a big surge
in donors across the UK. | 1:02:49 | 1:02:53 | |
In 2007, there were around
790 deceased donors. | 1:02:53 | 1:03:00 | |
That's now risen to more than 1400. | 1:03:00 | 1:03:02 | |
The number of registered donors has
gone up from 14 million to more | 1:03:02 | 1:03:05 | |
than 23 million. | 1:03:05 | 1:03:07 | |
But ministers are concerned that
four out of ten families say | 1:03:07 | 1:03:13 | |
to donation, so are proposing
a system where it's assumed | 1:03:13 | 1:03:16 | |
we are all willing to be donors. | 1:03:16 | 1:03:18 | |
The issue of presumed consent is one
thing we are looking at. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:21 | |
What we need is much better
communication inside families | 1:03:21 | 1:03:23 | |
so that people know what family
members actually want. | 1:03:23 | 1:03:26 | |
There are some concerns
that moving to a system | 1:03:26 | 1:03:28 | |
where there is an assumption
we are willing to donate could be | 1:03:28 | 1:03:32 | |
counter-productive, undoing
the good work of recent | 1:03:32 | 1:03:33 | |
years by raising fears over
the government having | 1:03:33 | 1:03:36 | |
on our organs. | 1:03:36 | 1:03:41 | |
And we shall discuss that at 8:10am
on Breakfast. And send in your | 1:03:41 | 1:03:47 | |
thoughts as well. | 1:03:47 | 1:03:53 | |
-13 degrees was recorded in
Shropshire. | 1:03:53 | 1:03:55 | |
The Met Office has extended yellow
warnings for snow and ice | 1:03:55 | 1:03:58 | |
until later this morning
and the AA has warned driving | 1:03:58 | 1:04:01 | |
could be hazardous. | 1:04:01 | 1:04:02 | |
Hundreds of schools will stay closed
for a second successive day. | 1:04:02 | 1:04:06 | |
And we will be live in one of the
worst hit areas, the West Midlands, | 1:04:06 | 1:04:10 | |
and Carol will have a full round-up
of the weather. If you want any | 1:04:10 | 1:04:15 | |
local information about possible
school closures and road incidents | 1:04:15 | 1:04:18 | |
and activity this morning, then your
BBC local radio station is ready to | 1:04:18 | 1:04:23 | |
go, and there are live updates on
the BBC website as well. | 1:04:23 | 1:04:29 | |
Four people are being questioned
on suspicion of murder, | 1:04:29 | 1:04:31 | |
after three children died in a house
fire in Salford early yesterday. | 1:04:31 | 1:04:34 | |
Their mother and another
three-year-old child remain | 1:04:34 | 1:04:36 | |
in a critical condition. | 1:04:36 | 1:04:37 | |
Our correspondent Dave Guest
is live at the scene. | 1:04:37 | 1:04:40 | |
Good morning, Dave. | 1:04:40 | 1:04:43 | |
Any developments overnight? | 1:04:43 | 1:04:46 | |
What more can you tell us? | 1:04:46 | 1:04:48 | |
Good morning. | 1:04:48 | 1:04:51 | |
Police maintaining a presence in
Jackson Street just over 34 hours | 1:04:51 | 1:04:55 | |
after the fire at 5am yesterday
morning. 216-year-old boys managed | 1:04:55 | 1:05:02 | |
to get out, but mother and four
children were trapped inside, | 1:05:02 | 1:05:06 | |
rescued but sadly the 14-year-old
girl Debbie Pearson died at the | 1:05:06 | 1:05:11 | |
scene and a boy of eight and girl of
seven died later in hospital. The | 1:05:11 | 1:05:17 | |
mother named as Michelle Pearson ill
in hospital, as is a three-year-old | 1:05:17 | 1:05:20 | |
girl. It seems what appeared to be a
tragic accident was something more | 1:05:20 | 1:05:25 | |
sinister when the police announced
they had launched a police | 1:05:25 | 1:05:30 | |
investigation. Four arrested
overnight, three men and a woman, | 1:05:30 | 1:05:33 | |
and a fifth person, a man, on
suspicion of assisting an offender. | 1:05:33 | 1:05:37 | |
This has shocked the local
community. Last night a local church | 1:05:37 | 1:05:41 | |
opened its doors and invited people
in to spend a couple of moments | 1:05:41 | 1:05:45 | |
thinking about the three young lives
lost, and of course the mother and | 1:05:45 | 1:05:50 | |
the young girl who are still very
ill in hospital. The police will | 1:05:50 | 1:05:54 | |
continue questioning those they
arrested last night today. Very | 1:05:54 | 1:05:57 | |
grim. Thank you for updating us.
Absolutely. | 1:05:57 | 1:06:02 | |
The Mayor of New York,
Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb | 1:06:02 | 1:06:05 | |
explosion next to the city's busiest
bus station as an isolated | 1:06:05 | 1:06:08 | |
attempted terrorist attack. | 1:06:08 | 1:06:09 | |
The suspect, who was injured
in the blast, is a 27-year-old | 1:06:09 | 1:06:12 | |
Bangladeshi who moved
to the United States six years ago. | 1:06:12 | 1:06:14 | |
President Trump said it showed
the need for Congress to toughen | 1:06:14 | 1:06:17 | |
immigration policy. | 1:06:17 | 1:06:23 | |
Offering new mothers cash incentives
could significantly increase | 1:06:23 | 1:06:27 | |
breast-feeding rates,
according to a new study. | 1:06:27 | 1:06:29 | |
More than 10,000 new mums
were offered shopping vouchers worth | 1:06:29 | 1:06:31 | |
up to £120 if babies received
breast milk at two days, | 1:06:31 | 1:06:34 | |
ten days and six weeks old. | 1:06:34 | 1:06:39 | |
A further £80 of vouchers
was available if they continued | 1:06:39 | 1:06:41 | |
to receive breast milk
up to six months. | 1:06:41 | 1:06:44 | |
Adina Campbell reports. | 1:06:44 | 1:06:45 | |
Breast-feeding the newest member
of the Sutcliffe family | 1:06:45 | 1:06:47 | |
is a lot easier a second
time around but, | 1:06:47 | 1:06:50 | |
after Fiona's first
daughter was born, | 1:06:50 | 1:06:52 | |
she was spurred on by
shopping vouchers | 1:06:52 | 1:06:53 | |
during the toughest moments. | 1:06:53 | 1:06:59 | |
It is really encouraged
me to keep going, | 1:06:59 | 1:07:01 | |
especially when the night
was quite difficult | 1:07:01 | 1:07:03 | |
and I thought about giving
up breast-feeding | 1:07:03 | 1:07:05 | |
and that was another
incentive to keep going, | 1:07:05 | 1:07:07 | |
and especially given it's so easy
to sort of claim the vouchers. | 1:07:07 | 1:07:10 | |
Fiona was one of more than 10,000
mums who took part in a study | 1:07:10 | 1:07:14 | |
over 18 months. | 1:07:14 | 1:07:15 | |
They were offered up to £200
in shopping vouchers | 1:07:15 | 1:07:17 | |
at five different stages
of breast-feeding. | 1:07:17 | 1:07:19 | |
£40 at two days old and the same
amount at ten days, | 1:07:19 | 1:07:22 | |
six weeks, three
months and six months. | 1:07:22 | 1:07:31 | |
Before getting the vouchers,
claimed forms were signed off | 1:07:31 | 1:07:33 | |
by midwives or health
visitors during visits. | 1:07:33 | 1:07:36 | |
Overall, the breast-feeding
rates went up by 6%, | 1:07:36 | 1:07:38 | |
which researchers believe
is a big difference. | 1:07:38 | 1:07:46 | |
We do know that biologically
and physiologically, | 1:07:46 | 1:07:47 | |
we are designed to breast-feed. | 1:07:47 | 1:07:49 | |
We know that 99% of women, given
the right support, can breastfeed. | 1:07:49 | 1:07:52 | |
There are plenty of
benefits to breast-feeding | 1:07:52 | 1:07:56 | |
but these mums in Sheffield
have mixed views | 1:07:56 | 1:07:58 | |
about being paid to do it. | 1:07:58 | 1:08:06 | |
I don't think, you know,
it should really be monetary. | 1:08:06 | 1:08:09 | |
And I think some people might get
persuaded just because of the money. | 1:08:09 | 1:08:13 | |
If you can't do it, it's fine, too. | 1:08:13 | 1:08:15 | |
But, yeah, having an incentive
wiill definitely help | 1:08:15 | 1:08:17 | |
and just get the message out there. | 1:08:17 | 1:08:19 | |
The UK has some of the lowest
breast-feeding rates in the world. | 1:08:19 | 1:08:22 | |
Researchers say vouchers
are a small price to pay | 1:08:22 | 1:08:25 | |
with long-term benefits
to babies and the NHS. | 1:08:25 | 1:08:27 | |
Adina Campbell, BBC News. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:38 | |
It is the time of year when lots of
us might be putting in extra hours | 1:08:38 | 1:08:42 | |
of work. We are talking about
overtime. Steph has details about | 1:08:42 | 1:08:47 | |
figures. Yes, it is really
interesting. You within in the past | 1:08:47 | 1:08:52 | |
it is lucrative to overtime. Often
you might get time and a half as | 1:08:52 | 1:08:58 | |
well as money you would normally be
getting and that can be helpful at | 1:08:58 | 1:09:02 | |
this time of year. Research out has
sound one in ten workers, two and a | 1:09:02 | 1:09:10 | |
half million people, work overtime
and only one fifth of those people | 1:09:10 | 1:09:13 | |
are getting a premium for it. So the
majority of us are working for the | 1:09:13 | 1:09:25 | |
same income. It is interesting what
is happening with jobs and there are | 1:09:25 | 1:09:29 | |
more people in work than ever
before. The unemployment rate is at | 1:09:29 | 1:09:33 | |
a 42 year low. There are a lot of
people in work. There are questions | 1:09:33 | 1:09:37 | |
about what's happening with wages.
The fact that they haven't kept up | 1:09:37 | 1:09:41 | |
with the cost of living. So for lots
of people they felt in real terms | 1:09:41 | 1:09:45 | |
they haven't got as much money as
they have in the past. So there is a | 1:09:45 | 1:09:50 | |
big change. 20 years ago, 17% of
people would have got a premium if | 1:09:50 | 1:09:57 | |
they worked overtime. Now that is
dramatically reduced. That is very | 1:09:57 | 1:10:01 | |
interesting and I am sure that lots
of people are feeling that as well. | 1:10:01 | 1:10:05 | |
Thank you. | 1:10:05 | 1:10:09 | |
One of the most destructive
wildfires is heading towards Santa | 1:10:09 | 1:10:13 | |
Barbara. The largest has scorched
and area the size of New York City. | 1:10:13 | 1:10:18 | |
The governor has described the
situation as the new normal and | 1:10:18 | 1:10:21 | |
predicted these could happen every
year. | 1:10:21 | 1:10:29 | |
This fire is a monster. | 1:10:29 | 1:10:30 | |
It has now burned an area
bigger than New York City | 1:10:30 | 1:10:33 | |
and Paris combined. | 1:10:33 | 1:10:34 | |
More than 6,000 firefighters
are battling it, but still the blaze | 1:10:34 | 1:10:37 | |
rages in the hills
above the Pacific Ocean. | 1:10:37 | 1:10:40 | |
These helicopter pilots are working
hard, trying to slow down | 1:10:40 | 1:10:43 | |
the northward advance
of the huge fire. | 1:10:43 | 1:10:48 | |
But still it is marching on,
down from that ridge top, | 1:10:48 | 1:10:51 | |
and the concern is that it
might affect homes here, | 1:10:51 | 1:10:53 | |
and it could even burn all the way
down towards Santa Barbara, | 1:10:53 | 1:10:56 | |
on the Pacific Ocean. | 1:10:56 | 1:11:02 | |
California feels like a state under
siege by the climate - | 1:11:02 | 1:11:05 | |
rising temperatures,
years of drought, longer and more | 1:11:05 | 1:11:07 | |
devastating wildfire seasons. | 1:11:07 | 1:11:11 | |
The Governor says, in this warming
world, it is no surprise. | 1:11:11 | 1:11:13 | |
This could be something
that happens every year, | 1:11:13 | 1:11:16 | |
or every few years, it
happens in some degree. | 1:11:16 | 1:11:18 | |
It's just more intense,
more widespread, and we're | 1:11:18 | 1:11:20 | |
about ready to have
firefighting at Christmas. | 1:11:20 | 1:11:22 | |
This is very odd and unusual,
but it's the way the world is. | 1:11:22 | 1:11:34 | |
It has been a distressing
week for animals, too. | 1:11:34 | 1:11:36 | |
Dozens of horses have
died in the fires. | 1:11:36 | 1:11:38 | |
This video shows racehorses fleeing
the flames after they were set loose | 1:11:38 | 1:11:41 | |
in San Diego County. | 1:11:41 | 1:11:43 | |
There is some good news. | 1:11:43 | 1:11:44 | |
The worst winds seem to have died
down, giving firefighters a better | 1:11:44 | 1:11:47 | |
chance to battle the blaze,
but it is a daunting task. | 1:11:47 | 1:11:50 | |
This may yet become the largest
wildfire in the history | 1:11:50 | 1:11:53 | |
of this state. | 1:11:53 | 1:12:06 | |
And extraordinary pictures. You are
watching Breakfast. | 1:12:06 | 1:12:10 | |
Now let's return to
the weather this morning. | 1:12:10 | 1:12:12 | |
Freezing conditions are continuing
to affect parts of the UK, | 1:12:12 | 1:12:15 | |
with forecasters confirming that
last night was the coldest night | 1:12:15 | 1:12:18 | |
of the year so far. | 1:12:18 | 1:12:19 | |
In parts of Wales, temperatures
dropped to minus nine | 1:12:19 | 1:12:22 | |
and in Shropshire the thermometer
went as low as minus 13 degrees. | 1:12:22 | 1:12:25 | |
Gritters have been
working hard overnight. | 1:12:25 | 1:12:27 | |
At this one gritting depot
in Stroud, they put down 450 tons | 1:12:27 | 1:12:30 | |
of salt last night. | 1:12:30 | 1:12:35 | |
Many schools remain closed
with the West Midlands | 1:12:35 | 1:12:37 | |
the worst hit. | 1:12:37 | 1:12:39 | |
350 schools there
will be closed today. | 1:12:39 | 1:12:41 | |
While in Wales, about 264 schools
so far have said they will shut. | 1:12:41 | 1:12:45 | |
And indeed, the weather was so bad
in the Midlands yesterday, | 1:12:45 | 1:12:48 | |
health bosses appealed for 4x4
drivers to help ferry staff | 1:12:48 | 1:12:51 | |
to hospital for their shifts. | 1:12:51 | 1:12:52 | |
Joining us from outside
the Birmingham Children's Hospital | 1:12:52 | 1:12:54 | |
is our reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn. | 1:12:54 | 1:13:00 | |
There's been a real sense
of community spirit there, | 1:13:00 | 1:13:03 | |
Kathryn. | 1:13:03 | 1:13:03 | |
Yes, indeed. Good morning. Many
people relished the snow day off | 1:13:03 | 1:13:10 | |
work or school yesterday. Some have
won today as well. But when your job | 1:13:10 | 1:13:14 | |
is a matter of life or death it is
not as much fun and at Birmingham | 1:13:14 | 1:13:19 | |
Children's Hospital yesterday they
had to put out an appeal on social | 1:13:19 | 1:13:22 | |
media asking for anyone with a
4-wheel-drive vehicles with sturdy | 1:13:22 | 1:13:26 | |
vehicles to get staff in and out of
their shift here because of the | 1:13:26 | 1:13:30 | |
amount of adverse weather we have
had in the Midlands over the last | 1:13:30 | 1:13:34 | |
couple of days. They say they
managed to get everyone in on the | 1:13:34 | 1:13:38 | |
late shift last night. They did the
same this morning. If they need a | 1:13:38 | 1:13:42 | |
game to ask later, they will do so.
The roads are the big worry with so | 1:13:42 | 1:13:48 | |
much ice around. It really is a case
of going very steady. You mentioned | 1:13:48 | 1:13:54 | |
grit in Gloucestershire. Coventry
City Council said they have used 800 | 1:13:54 | 1:13:57 | |
tons of grit in the last 48 hours.
And we can see the snow on the | 1:13:57 | 1:14:02 | |
ground. Disruption across lots of
parts as well. Yes, there is an | 1:14:02 | 1:14:06 | |
amber weather warning from the Met
Office for ice across the country | 1:14:06 | 1:14:10 | |
and as I say that is causing
problems with accessibility, and | 1:14:10 | 1:14:14 | |
that is why we still have quite a
lot of school closures. You | 1:14:14 | 1:14:18 | |
mentioned 260 in Wales. It might go
up a little bit. 80 in | 1:14:18 | 1:14:22 | |
Gloucestershire. In the west
Midlands there are 350 closed at the | 1:14:22 | 1:14:27 | |
moment. That number might go up. It
is not quite a blanket closure as we | 1:14:27 | 1:14:31 | |
had yesterday in Birmingham. Some
places are more accessible. They | 1:14:31 | 1:14:35 | |
have left it up to individual head
teachers to make up their own mind. | 1:14:35 | 1:14:39 | |
If you are going outside today, my
advice is to wrap up warm. It is | 1:14:39 | 1:14:45 | |
perishing out here. I just checked
the weather on my phone. Moscow is | 1:14:45 | 1:14:49 | |
-2, Birmingham is - four. Well,
thank you very much indeed and the | 1:14:49 | 1:14:55 | |
best of luck with the rest of your
day. Thank you. So that is why the | 1:14:55 | 1:14:59 | |
worst affected areas of the UK and
Carol has the picture for the rest | 1:14:59 | 1:15:03 | |
of the country as well. What sort of
scene are people waking up to this | 1:15:03 | 1:15:08 | |
morning? | 1:15:08 | 1:15:09 | |
Ice around this morning and some
people have deep lying snow. Some | 1:15:09 | 1:15:16 | |
seeing scenes like this, this was
yesterday, from Keswick in Cumbria. | 1:15:16 | 1:15:23 | |
Beautiful picture but treacherous
conditions around, a cold start. The | 1:15:23 | 1:15:27 | |
lowest temperature so far this year,
-13 in Shropshire. There's Prost, | 1:15:27 | 1:15:34 | |
lying snow, ice and freezing fog so
if you're travelling, take extra | 1:15:34 | 1:15:39 | |
care, as you would in those
conditions -- frost. This morning we | 1:15:39 | 1:15:43 | |
have a lot of clear skies and
temperatures fairly low. The clear | 1:15:43 | 1:15:48 | |
skies drift to the south-west but
bits and pieces of cloud bringing | 1:15:48 | 1:15:53 | |
the odd shower, the odd shower in
Wales and some freezing fog in south | 1:15:53 | 1:15:57 | |
Wales, and the West Midlands, that
will be slow to live, and as we go | 1:15:57 | 1:16:01 | |
to the north-west, cold and frosty.
In Northern Ireland, high cloud | 1:16:01 | 1:16:05 | |
around so a fine start to the day
but the cloud building in from the | 1:16:05 | 1:16:10 | |
west, introducing showers, and the
same in western Scotland, high cloud | 1:16:10 | 1:16:14 | |
producing the odd shower here and
there. The rest of Scotland will be | 1:16:14 | 1:16:19 | |
dry, cold and frosty, especially in
rural areas where we have the lying | 1:16:19 | 1:16:23 | |
snow. In north-east England, you
have the risk of ice and some | 1:16:23 | 1:16:27 | |
beautiful sparkling blue skies.
Through the day, for central and | 1:16:27 | 1:16:31 | |
eastern Scotland, central and
eastern England, we hang on to the | 1:16:31 | 1:16:34 | |
bright skies or the sunshine,
brighter skies will be in the | 1:16:34 | 1:16:38 | |
south-east and East Anglia and you
see how the cloud Ronson from the | 1:16:38 | 1:16:42 | |
west ahead of this weather front
that will introduce rain and hill | 1:16:42 | 1:16:45 | |
snow on the hills of Scotland,
Northern Ireland and later | 1:16:45 | 1:16:49 | |
north-west England and north Wales.
That whole system continues to drift | 1:16:49 | 1:16:53 | |
steadily south through the night, it
will be blustery around it. Behind | 1:16:53 | 1:16:57 | |
it, some clearer skies for a time
and then our next system comes in | 1:16:57 | 1:17:03 | |
introducing rain, but showery once
again with snow on the hills. | 1:17:03 | 1:17:07 | |
Temperature wise, in towns and
cities called, lower in the | 1:17:07 | 1:17:11 | |
countryside, especially where we
have lying snow. This is our front | 1:17:11 | 1:17:16 | |
clearing from the south-east and
then the second comes in, this is | 1:17:16 | 1:17:21 | |
showery, heading southwards, the
wind becomes more of a westerly, not | 1:17:21 | 1:17:24 | |
quite as cold a direction, but it
will change later in the week. Quite | 1:17:24 | 1:17:28 | |
a showery picture we are looking at
as the weather front goes to the | 1:17:28 | 1:17:33 | |
south-east. Behind it we drag in
colder conditions, some sunshine | 1:17:33 | 1:17:38 | |
around but increasingly through the
day we will see the showers turned | 1:17:38 | 1:17:41 | |
wintry even at lower levels, Snow
through the day in Northern Ireland | 1:17:41 | 1:17:45 | |
and Scotland -- turn. Something we
are keeping an eye on is the | 1:17:45 | 1:17:50 | |
possibility that for the evening
rush-hour in north-west England, as | 1:17:50 | 1:17:54 | |
the system sinks south, we could see
snow potentially at lower levels. | 1:17:54 | 1:17:57 | |
But the jury is out on that one so
if you're travelling on Wednesday | 1:17:57 | 1:18:02 | |
keep watching the weather forecast.
In contrast, look at the | 1:18:02 | 1:18:05 | |
temperatures in the south-west, 11.
On Thursday, another unsettled day, | 1:18:05 | 1:18:10 | |
we have rain and snow. Temperatures
by then, one in the north, seven or | 1:18:10 | 1:18:16 | |
eight in the south, but not the wind
direction that we've had, veering | 1:18:16 | 1:18:21 | |
from a north-westerly to more of a
northerly. Thanks very much. See you | 1:18:21 | 1:18:27 | |
in about 25 minutes for more of an
update. | 1:18:27 | 1:18:32 | |
Men who complain they have more
than just a few sniffles | 1:18:32 | 1:18:35 | |
may not be exaggerating
their symptoms after all, | 1:18:35 | 1:18:37 | |
if man flu exists! | 1:18:37 | 1:18:39 | |
That's according to
a new Canadian study | 1:18:39 | 1:18:41 | |
which suggests men might
have a weaker immune system | 1:18:41 | 1:18:43 | |
in response to some viruses. | 1:18:43 | 1:18:47 | |

A friend of the programme. John, if
and Doctor Brian Hope, a GP. | 1:19:00 | 1:19:00 | |
A friend of the programme. John, if
we can come to you first of all, are | 1:19:00 | 1:19:03 | |
we any clearer to discovering
whether man flu is a myth or is it | 1:19:03 | 1:19:08 | |
real? I don't think we're any
clearer. The timing is good for this | 1:19:08 | 1:19:13 | |
study, I must say, there's 10,000 or
20,000 people infected with flu at | 1:19:13 | 1:19:17 | |
the moment, that's the figures from
the GPs in Britain and ten times as | 1:19:17 | 1:19:21 | |
many who have a cold sober it's good
timing. I find the study and the | 1:19:21 | 1:19:27 | |
science a little underwhelming if
you want to put it like that. He's | 1:19:27 | 1:19:31 | |
even quoted Oxford University press
in a paper, I thought that was | 1:19:31 | 1:19:36 | |
pulling it a bit. In my own... One
of the physiologists from the 17th | 1:19:36 | 1:19:44 | |
century is quoted, so I would say
the science is patchy. Patchy but | 1:19:44 | 1:19:48 | |
important, John!
Dan will be very upset, I am so glad | 1:19:48 | 1:19:54 | |
you are here to tell us it is all a
myth. We will come back to you in a | 1:19:54 | 1:19:59 | |
moment. Doctor Brian, Dan is hoping
you might back him up, what is your | 1:19:59 | 1:20:03 | |
view, you are a GP?
Sometimes I get men phoning in and I | 1:20:03 | 1:20:09 | |
think, man up, but I also get women
phoning up and I think woman up. | 1:20:09 | 1:20:14 | |
This isn't flu, this is a virus. Do
the normal stuff and you will get | 1:20:14 | 1:20:19 | |
over it and some of the worst
consultations I have is trying to | 1:20:19 | 1:20:23 | |
convince people that all we have
with them is a cold and not | 1:20:23 | 1:20:27 | |
something more drastic. The
professor makes the point that flu | 1:20:27 | 1:20:30 | |
is very serious. I had it once in my
life when I was in my teens during | 1:20:30 | 1:20:35 | |
an epidemic and you are flattened,
it's a different disease to coughs | 1:20:35 | 1:20:39 | |
and colds and sneezes. If you have
proper flu, you can't get out of | 1:20:39 | 1:20:44 | |
bed. It's the £20 note thing, and
you will leave it on the ground. | 1:20:44 | 1:20:49 | |
Professor, this is your speciality
and you have studied flu for many | 1:20:49 | 1:20:53 | |
years, the point is, it's really
serious and you should know when you | 1:20:53 | 1:20:58 | |
have it, shouldn't you? You should.
We have done quarantine experiments | 1:20:58 | 1:21:03 | |
over the years, you get volunteers
into my uni and you deliberately | 1:21:03 | 1:21:09 | |
infect them and we've done an
analysis after that but all of these | 1:21:09 | 1:21:13 | |
studies are patchy and on the
underwhelming side when it comes to | 1:21:13 | 1:21:17 | |
numbers. You can do one study and it
looks like man flu and the next | 1:21:17 | 1:21:22 | |
study doesn't pick anything up.
That's the problem here. We're | 1:21:22 | 1:21:25 | |
talking about sociology here and
seriously, men, like me and all of a | 1:21:25 | 1:21:32 | |
sudden we don't look carefully
enough at our own health. My wife | 1:21:32 | 1:21:35 | |
always picks up things more quickly
than me, so do my daughters, so it's | 1:21:35 | 1:21:41 | |
the fact we don't look carefully
enough and we get too many symptoms | 1:21:41 | 1:21:45 | |
before we do anything, but women
know what their health status is and | 1:21:45 | 1:21:49 | |
they get moving pretty fast. That's
more likely to be the cause of this | 1:21:49 | 1:21:53 | |
rather than deep science
underpinning it. I love the smile | 1:21:53 | 1:21:57 | |
with which you're saying all of
this. | 1:21:57 | 1:22:03 | |
I feel I should stick up for the
study. The study has concluded men | 1:22:03 | 1:22:06 | |
habitually exaggerate the symptoms
of their flu and they say that was | 1:22:06 | 1:22:10 | |
unjust and that man flu was a fact.
Let's look at the facts. This is | 1:22:10 | 1:22:15 | |
from David, man flu is indeed very
real and worse than childbirth on | 1:22:15 | 1:22:19 | |
the basis that... Hold on, hold on.
I think you're in big trouble here! | 1:22:19 | 1:22:26 | |
This is David's opinion. On the
basis women volunteered to have | 1:22:26 | 1:22:31 | |
children... Let me finish David's,
it. You don't see men lining up for | 1:22:31 | 1:22:36 | |
a second bout of man flu -- David's
comment. Professor, can you respond? | 1:22:36 | 1:22:43 | |
Let me change it entirely. Flu is
serious, people die of flu, not the | 1:22:43 | 1:22:48 | |
common cold. This is a serious note
here, we are expecting an outbreak | 1:22:48 | 1:22:53 | |
of the virus from Australia this
year and there's plenty of vaccine | 1:22:53 | 1:22:57 | |
available, we aren't depriving any
elderly people or young people. I | 1:22:57 | 1:23:03 | |
would suggest hopefully more men
this year will get vaccinated and | 1:23:03 | 1:23:06 | |
take more of an interest in their
health and that would please me a | 1:23:06 | 1:23:10 | |
lot and it might even reduce the
instance of flu and protect | 1:23:10 | 1:23:14 | |
health-care workers and the elderly.
You make a very good point, | 1:23:14 | 1:23:18 | |
Professor.
As does Barbara, she says men get | 1:23:18 | 1:23:21 | |
flu, children get colds, women get
on with it. Oh dear oh dear! I can't | 1:23:21 | 1:23:26 | |
win on this one, can I?
I think the childbirth thing, going | 1:23:26 | 1:23:35 | |
to work today, all the women that
work from me, I wouldn't get a tea | 1:23:35 | 1:23:39 | |
or anything like that if I agreed!
Thank you both very much indeed. | 1:23:39 | 1:23:43 | |
Thank you for debunking the myth and
I know Dan will be sore about this | 1:23:43 | 1:23:47 | |
for quite some time.
The research is out there! What do | 1:23:47 | 1:23:50 | |
you go about it! thank you,
Professor. -- what do you two know | 1:23:50 | 1:24:01 | |
about it!
people in the United Kingdom know | 1:24:01 | 1:24:07 | |
how much it hurts. They just know a
little bit of sympathy goes a long | 1:24:07 | 1:24:13 | |
way.
Thank you for your comments, I | 1:24:13 | 1:24:17 | |
imagine you might want to get in
touch! | 1:24:17 | 1:24:20 | |
Do Christmas cracker jokes make
you grin or make you groan? | 1:24:20 | 1:24:23 | |
Probably grown. | 1:24:23 | 1:24:24 | |
The UKTV channel Gold has unveiled
the winner of its annual competition | 1:24:24 | 1:24:27 | |
to find the best modern
take on that staple | 1:24:27 | 1:24:30 | |
of the Christmas dinner table. | 1:24:30 | 1:24:31 | |
And here it is. | 1:24:31 | 1:24:32 | |
Why was Theresa May sacked
as Nativity manager? | 1:24:32 | 1:24:34 | |
I don't know. | 1:24:34 | 1:24:35 | |
She couldn't run
a stable government. | 1:24:35 | 1:24:43 | |
What do you think? | 1:24:43 | 1:24:45 | |
We asked revellers in Manchester
to tell us some others | 1:24:45 | 1:24:47 | |
from the shortlist,
as well as a couple of their own. | 1:24:47 | 1:24:50 | |
What does Santa get when he gets
stuck in the chimney? | 1:24:50 | 1:24:53 | |
Clause-trophobia. | 1:24:53 | 1:24:57 | |
Kim Jong-un is going
to play Santa this year | 1:24:57 | 1:24:59 | |
in the South's annual pantomime. | 1:24:59 | 1:25:00 | |
He said he fancied a Korea change. | 1:25:00 | 1:25:06 | |
Where does Jeremy Corbyn
hang his stockings? | 1:25:06 | 1:25:08 | |
On the far left. | 1:25:08 | 1:25:09 | |
Shocking! | 1:25:09 | 1:25:13 | |
How does a snowman get to school? | 1:25:13 | 1:25:15 | |
He rides his bicicles. | 1:25:15 | 1:25:19 | |
Icicles! | 1:25:19 | 1:25:21 | |
Two snowmen in a field. | 1:25:21 | 1:25:23 | |
One says to the other,
"Can you smell carrots?" | 1:25:23 | 1:25:25 | |
Ooosh! | 1:25:25 | 1:25:26 | |
You can keep that. | 1:25:26 | 1:25:27 | |
That's... | 1:25:27 | 1:25:27 | |
All day long! | 1:25:27 | 1:25:35 | |
Thank you for all of your jokes. We
will be reading more of those later. | 1:25:35 | 1:25:40 | |

Let's have a look at what is coming
up later this week: | 1:25:49 | 1:25:53 | |
Great, it's got to be done!
It has, we are on a mission to get | 1:25:55 | 1:26:01 | |
the country crooning this Christmas.
We will tell you how to get involved | 1:26:01 | 1:26:05 | |
in our nationwide singalong.
It is next Tuesday and you can get | 1:26:05 | 1:26:09 | |
involved.
Around 9am next Tuesday so get that | 1:26:09 | 1:26:12 | |
time in your diary and join in! | 1:26:12 | 1:29:33 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Louise and Dan. | 1:29:33 | 1:29:35 | |
Bye for now. | 1:29:35 | 1:29:36 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 1:29:40 | 1:29:46 | |
It is 7:30am. | 1:29:46 | 1:29:47 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 1:29:47 | 1:29:49 | |
A radical change to the rules around
organ donation in England | 1:29:49 | 1:29:52 | |
is being unveiled today,
as ministers launch a consultation | 1:29:52 | 1:29:55 | |
on moving to a system
of presumed consent. | 1:29:55 | 1:29:57 | |
The reform would mean opting
out of being a donor, | 1:29:57 | 1:30:00 | |
rather than the current
scheme of opting in. | 1:30:00 | 1:30:05 | |
Wales has already taken that
approach, and the Scottish | 1:30:05 | 1:30:07 | |
Government is planning
to introduce a similar scheme. | 1:30:07 | 1:30:11 | |
Temperatures of -13 have been
recorded in Shropshire | 1:30:11 | 1:30:13 | |
on the coldest night
of the year so far. | 1:30:13 | 1:30:16 | |
The Met Office has extended yellow
warnings for snow and ice | 1:30:16 | 1:30:19 | |
until later this morning
and the AA has warned driving | 1:30:19 | 1:30:21 | |
could be hazardous. | 1:30:21 | 1:30:22 | |
Hundreds of schools will stay closed
for a second successive day. | 1:30:22 | 1:30:25 | |
And Carol will have a fall
round up of the weather | 1:30:25 | 1:30:28 | |
in a few minutes' time. | 1:30:28 | 1:30:32 | |
Four people have been arrested
on suspicion of murder after three | 1:30:32 | 1:30:35 | |
children died in a house fire
in Salford, Greater Manchester, | 1:30:35 | 1:30:37 | |
in the early hours of Monday
morning. A 14-year-old girl, | 1:30:37 | 1:30:40 | |
named locally as Demi Pearson,
was pronounced dead at the scene, | 1:30:40 | 1:30:43 | |
and an eight-year-old boy and a girl
aged seven died in hospital. | 1:30:43 | 1:30:46 | |
Their mother, named
as Michelle Pearson, | 1:30:46 | 1:30:48 | |
and a three year old are still
in a serious condition. | 1:30:48 | 1:30:51 | |
A vigil was held for
the victims last night. | 1:30:51 | 1:30:58 | |
The Mayor of New York,
Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb | 1:30:58 | 1:31:01 | |
explosion next to the city's busiest
bus station as an isolated | 1:31:01 | 1:31:04 | |
attempted terrorist attack. | 1:31:04 | 1:31:05 | |
The suspect, who was injured
in the blast, is a 27-year-old | 1:31:05 | 1:31:08 | |
Bangladeshi who moved
to the United States six years ago. | 1:31:08 | 1:31:11 | |
President Trump said it showed
the need for Congress to toughen | 1:31:11 | 1:31:14 | |
immigration policy. | 1:31:14 | 1:31:26 | |
Thank God the perpetrator did not
achieve his ultimate goals. Thank | 1:31:26 | 1:31:31 | |
God our first responders were there
so quickly to address the situation | 1:31:31 | 1:31:36 | |
to make sure people were safe. Thank
God the only injuries we know at | 1:31:36 | 1:31:41 | |
this point were minor. | 1:31:41 | 1:31:43 | |
An influential American think tank
is warning that the British economy | 1:31:43 | 1:31:46 | |
is likely to be weakened by Brexit,
even if the UK agrees a new trade | 1:31:46 | 1:31:50 | |
deal with the EU. | 1:31:50 | 1:31:51 | |
A report from the Rand Corporation,
which is part-funded by the US | 1:31:51 | 1:31:54 | |
government, says almost all trading
relationships after March 2019 | 1:31:54 | 1:31:57 | |
will be worse than Britain's current
membership of the EU. | 1:31:57 | 1:32:01 | |
Research suggests offering shopping
vouchers to new mothers can | 1:32:01 | 1:32:03 | |
encourage them to
breastfeed their babies. | 1:32:03 | 1:32:05 | |
About 10,000 new mums in Yorkshire,
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | 1:32:05 | 1:32:08 | |
were offered up to £200
in vouchers as an incentive. | 1:32:08 | 1:32:10 | |
Breast-feeding rates
increased in these areas, | 1:32:10 | 1:32:12 | |
which typically have low uptake. | 1:32:12 | 1:32:13 | |
Breast-feeding levels in the UK
are some of the lowest in the world. | 1:32:13 | 1:32:26 | |
One of the most destructive
wildfires in California's history - | 1:32:26 | 1:32:29 | |
is heading towards the city of Santa | 1:32:29 | 1:32:31 | |
Barbara. | 1:32:31 | 1:32:32 | |
Firefighters are battling six
fires across the state, | 1:32:32 | 1:32:34 | |
with the largest having scorched
an area of 230,000 acres. | 1:32:34 | 1:32:37 | |
Governor Jerry Brown has described
the situation as the new normal, | 1:32:37 | 1:32:40 | |
predicting that fires like this
could happen every year. | 1:32:40 | 1:32:51 | |
You are right date with the news.
And it is officially the coldest | 1:32:51 | 1:32:56 | |
night of the year so far. Yes, it
was, and many people getting up as | 1:32:56 | 1:33:00 | |
morning with the difficult
conditions on the roads and trouble | 1:33:00 | 1:33:03 | |
getting to school as well. For the
latest on that you can listen to the | 1:33:03 | 1:33:07 | |
local BBC radio station and there
are live updates on the BBC website | 1:33:07 | 1:33:12 | |
depending where you live in the
country. And I notice the next door | 1:33:12 | 1:33:16 | |
is called milkgate. Yes, it is, and
I want to start today to pay tribute | 1:33:16 | 1:33:20 | |
to Jim White, in the Telegraph, who
said this morning, "Now we know when | 1:33:20 | 1:33:27 | |
it comes to an brawl what the modern
Premier League footballer pours over | 1:33:27 | 1:33:32 | |
the head, beer two cricketers,
champagne to F1 drivers, he chooses | 1:33:32 | 1:33:38 | |
a pinter, a pint of milk" which was
thrown in the tunnel after the match | 1:33:38 | 1:33:46 | |
between Manchester united and
Manchester City. The manager slid | 1:33:46 | 1:33:51 | |
along the touchline on his knees was
cross with his opponent for being | 1:33:51 | 1:33:56 | |
disrespectful in their celebrations,
which I think is really clever. And | 1:33:56 | 1:33:59 | |
a lot of fallout still over the
weekend. Classic diversion tactic. | 1:33:59 | 1:34:06 | |
We are not talking about Manchester
United outplayed. And they played so | 1:34:06 | 1:34:09 | |
well. We are talking about, yet
again, you know, if I had a pound | 1:34:09 | 1:34:14 | |
for every time I mentioned Jose
Mourinho and his distraction | 1:34:14 | 1:34:18 | |
tactics, I would be very wealthy by
now. He is so good at taking the | 1:34:18 | 1:34:23 | |
flak away from the team, which has
been what he was doing. Has he | 1:34:23 | 1:34:27 | |
cleaned his coat? I think he has a
spare. I think he has a spare. | 1:34:27 | 1:34:32 | |
The FA have asked United and City
for their observations after City | 1:34:32 | 1:34:36 | |
coach Mikel Arteta was cut
on the head by a plastic bottle. | 1:34:36 | 1:34:39 | |
It's not known who threw it
but United manager Jose Mourinho | 1:34:39 | 1:34:42 | |
also had milk and
water thrown at him. | 1:34:42 | 1:34:44 | |
It appears the row started
when Mourinho objected to City's | 1:34:44 | 1:34:47 | |
celebrations after
their 2-1 victory. | 1:34:47 | 1:34:48 | |
Both City and United were in
the draw for the Champions League | 1:34:48 | 1:34:51 | |
knockout stages yesterday,
and they got pretty favourable ties | 1:34:51 | 1:34:54 | |
against Basel and Sevilla. | 1:34:54 | 1:34:55 | |
Liverpool will play Porto
and Spurs take on Juventus. | 1:34:55 | 1:34:57 | |
And with a record five English teams
through to the knock-out stage, | 1:34:57 | 1:35:01 | |
the 2012 champions Chelsea have
arguably the toughest tie, | 1:35:01 | 1:35:03 | |
they'll face the five-time
winners Barcelona. | 1:35:03 | 1:35:08 | |
Our mission is to be positive,
and as they know very well, | 1:35:08 | 1:35:11 | |
when we are in this stage,
you must be ready to face everything | 1:35:11 | 1:35:15 | |
and, in this case, we must be
ready to face Barcelona. | 1:35:15 | 1:35:26 | |
A long weekend, described as absurd
by their opponents finished | 1:35:26 | 1:35:29 | |
with Saracens' worst defeat in rugby
unions' European Champions Cup. | 1:35:29 | 1:35:32 | |
Clermont Auvergne thrashed
their hosts by 46 points to 14, | 1:35:32 | 1:35:35 | |
ending Saracens' two and a half year
unbeaten run in Europe. | 1:35:35 | 1:35:38 | |
The match had been put back
a day because of snow, | 1:35:38 | 1:35:40 | |
with fans initially banned
then allowed to attend. | 1:35:40 | 1:35:46 | |
There are some stinging comments
in the papers this morning | 1:35:46 | 1:35:49 | |
from former England captain
Michael Vaughan, who says | 1:35:49 | 1:35:51 | |
the current side are behaving
like students and the senior players | 1:35:51 | 1:35:54 | |
need to step up and be role models
to the youngsters coming through. | 1:35:54 | 1:35:57 | |
Another former captain,
Alistair Cook, says he believes | 1:35:57 | 1:35:59 | |
they're getting a bad press. | 1:35:59 | 1:36:03 | |
I hadn't think we are getting
painted fairly in the media | 1:36:03 | 1:36:06 | |
on our culture. | 1:36:06 | 1:36:07 | |
Clearly there have been
a couple of things which, | 1:36:07 | 1:36:10 | |
it sounds silly to say it,
in the media have been brought up, | 1:36:10 | 1:36:13 | |
but there was change
after the September incident, | 1:36:13 | 1:36:15 | |
so it is up to us to adjust to that
quickly and we can't afford any | 1:36:15 | 1:36:20 | |
mistakes because we understand
that they have had it with the ECB | 1:36:20 | 1:36:23 | |
and trying to make kids
play cricket, which is | 1:36:23 | 1:36:26 | |
what we want to do. | 1:36:26 | 1:36:34 | |
When it comes to footballers
and statues, the results have been | 1:36:34 | 1:36:37 | |
pretty mixed to say the least. | 1:36:37 | 1:36:40 | |
Cristiano Ronaldo's bust
at Madeira Airport had to be remade | 1:36:40 | 1:36:43 | |
it was so bad. | 1:36:43 | 1:36:44 | |
Now, it's Diego Maradona's turn. | 1:36:44 | 1:36:51 | |
This is him unveiling his own statue
in the Indian city of Kolkata. He is | 1:36:51 | 1:36:58 | |
pressing the remote control, giant
curtain, the appropriate colours, is | 1:36:58 | 1:37:02 | |
it his gran? Where is the statue of
him? I can only see Bilbo Baggins | 1:37:02 | 1:37:11 | |
with a massive World Cup. Why is it
so big? I wonder what is genuine | 1:37:11 | 1:37:17 | |
thought is, he has to think, my
word. I think he probably loves it. | 1:37:17 | 1:37:22 | |
I think he is the sort of person who
would look at that statue and think, | 1:37:22 | 1:37:26 | |
great, I will have another one. The
famous Ronaldo was remade. At | 1:37:26 | 1:37:31 | |
Madeira airport. Yes, because it
looked so much like Niall Quinn. | 1:37:31 | 1:37:36 | |
Hold on a minute, you have made a
statue of Niall Quinn. Yes. There | 1:37:36 | 1:37:41 | |
should be more of Niall Quinn. Of
course. There should be one. Well, | 1:37:41 | 1:37:45 | |
you can sort it out. I will fix it.
Carol will update you on the weather | 1:37:45 | 1:37:50 | |
in about ten minutes. And it is
officially the coldest night of the | 1:37:50 | 1:37:55 | |
year so far and she has been talking
about temperatures as low as minus | 1:37:55 | 1:37:59 | |
15. | 1:37:59 | 1:38:02 | |
The hope for the family
of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe | 1:38:02 | 1:38:04 | |
is that she will be released
from her Iranian prison cell | 1:38:04 | 1:38:07 | |
in time for Christmas. | 1:38:07 | 1:38:08 | |
But with less than two weeks to go,
that hope is fading. | 1:38:08 | 1:38:12 | |
Boris Johnson told MPs
yesterday that he has had | 1:38:12 | 1:38:14 | |
worthwhile discussions
with officials in Iran | 1:38:14 | 1:38:16 | |
about her situation,
but the Foreign Secretary also said | 1:38:16 | 1:38:18 | |
he did not want to raise false
expectations about her release. | 1:38:18 | 1:38:21 | |
Let's get the latest now
from her husband Richard Ratcliffe. | 1:38:21 | 1:38:27 | |
Thank you very much for your time
this morning. It is good to talk to | 1:38:27 | 1:38:31 | |
you, as ever. You had a conversation
with Boris Johnson lasting an hour | 1:38:31 | 1:38:35 | |
yesterday. Yes, consistent with what
he said in public, which was, I want | 1:38:35 | 1:38:40 | |
to keep expectations realistic and
we are doing what we can and let's | 1:38:40 | 1:38:44 | |
hope, and we talked about the
different people, and there was | 1:38:44 | 1:38:49 | |
concern, but he didn't say I am sure
she will be home in ten days. Did | 1:38:49 | 1:38:53 | |
you consider it a positive meeting
from your perspective. Was it what | 1:38:53 | 1:38:57 | |
you expected him to say? It was up
and down, that was more downbeat and | 1:38:57 | 1:39:01 | |
I was hoping for. At the same time
there were lots of things coming out | 1:39:01 | 1:39:05 | |
of Iran that was more upbeat. On
balance it was even -- it was an | 1:39:05 | 1:39:15 | |
even day. We have the Foreign
Ministry of Iran saying they were | 1:39:15 | 1:39:18 | |
working on Nazanin's case and
following up on humanitarian grounds | 1:39:18 | 1:39:25 | |
and the Tehran revolutionary court
said there was no such court case. | 1:39:25 | 1:39:28 | |
So those were good thing. The
Foreign Secretary was much more | 1:39:28 | 1:39:32 | |
cautious. I know that you spoke to
him on the phone previously. In the | 1:39:32 | 1:39:36 | |
face-to-face meeting were you able
to put across your concerns about | 1:39:36 | 1:39:39 | |
some of his behaviour earlier on as
well, comments he made about the | 1:39:39 | 1:39:43 | |
situation your wife was in? No, we
were focusing really on getting her | 1:39:43 | 1:39:49 | |
home and my timescale is clear, home
for Christmas, and he has quite | 1:39:49 | 1:39:55 | |
reasonably been quite cautious about
that. We talked about the campaign | 1:39:55 | 1:39:59 | |
and whether that helps, but I think
where things stand that the noise | 1:39:59 | 1:40:04 | |
coming from Iran are hopeful. I
understand why the Foreign Secretary | 1:40:04 | 1:40:09 | |
wants to be cautious. Fingers
crossed in the next ten days | 1:40:09 | 1:40:14 | |
something can be done. When was the
last time you spoke to your wife and | 1:40:14 | 1:40:18 | |
how is she? I got an extra phone
call yesterday. That is another | 1:40:18 | 1:40:21 | |
positive. She is allowed to call on
Monday. And she was quite upbeat. So | 1:40:21 | 1:40:25 | |
she talked about how she had a dream
that she was on the aeroplane and | 1:40:25 | 1:40:30 | |
she was describing that. And since
the court case hasn't happened, she | 1:40:30 | 1:40:35 | |
has been a lot more upbeat. It is
day today, up and down. Yesterday | 1:40:35 | 1:40:39 | |
was both. We live in hope. Obviously
she remains fragile, I am fragile in | 1:40:39 | 1:40:45 | |
different ways. Fingers crossed she
will come home. I don't want you to | 1:40:45 | 1:40:50 | |
go into personal details about what
you are talking to her about, but | 1:40:50 | 1:40:54 | |
are you talking about the fact she
might be home at Christmas, or not | 1:40:54 | 1:40:58 | |
getting up your hopes, how are you
dealing with that? My job is to keep | 1:40:58 | 1:41:02 | |
up her hopes and to tell her it will
be OK. I think the fragility that | 1:41:02 | 1:41:06 | |
she has has a dangerous side to
keeping up the hopes. She looks for | 1:41:06 | 1:41:10 | |
reassurance. She looks to be told it
will be OK. And there is a chance it | 1:41:10 | 1:41:17 | |
will be. My job is to say there is
every chance she could be home at | 1:41:17 | 1:41:21 | |
Christmas. And it is the Foreign
Secretary's job to keep expectations | 1:41:21 | 1:41:24 | |
clear. But, yes, hopefully it will
come through. And I know you are | 1:41:24 | 1:41:30 | |
focusing attention on your wife and
getting her home. Can you indicate | 1:41:30 | 1:41:33 | |
how difficult it has been for you
and your family? Look, it is very up | 1:41:33 | 1:41:39 | |
and down on a day-to-day level. Of
course it is a attritional and it is | 1:41:39 | 1:41:44 | |
stressful and there are ways in
which... I didn't sleep last night | 1:41:44 | 1:41:48 | |
or the night before. The basics of
hoping and worrying have a dynamic. | 1:41:48 | 1:41:53 | |
And, yes, it has been a long haul
and there will be a recovery for all | 1:41:53 | 1:41:58 | |
of us when it is over. And it is the
delicate balance between keeping | 1:41:58 | 1:42:02 | |
your wife's courts in the public I
am not trying to say anything that | 1:42:02 | 1:42:07 | |
might cause issue with negotiations,
and that must - you must be thinking | 1:42:07 | 1:42:13 | |
about every answer that you give in
interviews. And making mistakes. It | 1:42:13 | 1:42:17 | |
is important for me to be honest and
to be positive and to be hopeful. | 1:42:17 | 1:42:22 | |
And, yes, not to try to over think
it. Yes, there are complicated | 1:42:22 | 1:42:27 | |
things going on. There are all sorts
of things in the relationship that | 1:42:27 | 1:42:32 | |
will need solving. And we are
wrapped up in them, although they | 1:42:32 | 1:42:35 | |
have nothing to do with us.
Hopefully we can find a way through. | 1:42:35 | 1:42:40 | |
We will continue to talk to you.
Thank you very much for coming on | 1:42:40 | 1:42:44 | |
the programme to talk about it and
hopefully you will be reunited with | 1:42:44 | 1:42:47 | |
your wife. Thank you. It is good to
talk to you again this morning. | 1:42:47 | 1:42:51 | |
Absolutely. These are the main
stories in this morning. | 1:42:51 | 1:42:56 | |
Ministers are proposing a radical
change to organ donation rules which | 1:42:56 | 1:42:59 | |
could mean people have to opt out of
being on the register. They say the | 1:42:59 | 1:43:05 | |
move would make more organs
available for transplant. Four | 1:43:05 | 1:43:09 | |
people have been arrested on
suspicion of murder after three | 1:43:09 | 1:43:12 | |
children die in a house fire in
Salford. We will be live at the | 1:43:12 | 1:43:16 | |
scene a little late for you.
Now, yesterday, Dan, you were | 1:43:16 | 1:43:22 | |
telling me that the build to -- the
way to build proper snow structures | 1:43:22 | 1:43:26 | |
is how? To get some sort of box
formation, normally a recycling box | 1:43:26 | 1:43:31 | |
is awful, something a little
smaller, wedge the snow into the | 1:43:31 | 1:43:35 | |
box... And this is what you can
build. Thank you for sending this | 1:43:35 | 1:43:39 | |
picture. | 1:43:39 | 1:43:39 | |
It took Benjamin Crutch
from Redditch eight hours to make | 1:43:39 | 1:43:42 | |
the igloo, using 500 snow bricks. | 1:43:42 | 1:43:48 | |
And it is seriously impressive, I
love this igloo. And if you wait a | 1:43:48 | 1:43:53 | |
moment, his dog is in as well. Here
he is. And here we were, Carol and | 1:43:53 | 1:43:59 | |
myself, sceptical about how to do
this in the UK. You were both of you | 1:43:59 | 1:44:03 | |
pouring scorn on the use of boxes to
make these sort of incredible | 1:44:03 | 1:44:07 | |
structures. In some things we are
right, Dan. On the existence of man | 1:44:07 | 1:44:12 | |
flu, for example. What I like is you
are ready to say, do you know what, | 1:44:12 | 1:44:16 | |
Dan, I was wrong, and you are right.
Did either of us say that? | 1:44:16 | 1:44:24 | |
Good morning. | 1:44:24 | 1:44:25 | |
Good morning. Very impressive. Well
done. I cold start this morning, | 1:44:25 | 1:44:30 | |
we've had the coldest night of the
year so far and in Shropshire it | 1:44:30 | 1:44:34 | |
fell to -13, an official Met Office
psych. We have the risk of highs | 1:44:34 | 1:44:41 | |
this morning and also lying snow --
macro free. That could lead to nasty | 1:44:41 | 1:44:46 | |
travelling conditions -- site.
Freezing conditions in south Wales | 1:44:46 | 1:44:51 | |
and the West Midlands. That will be
slow to lift but when it does for | 1:44:51 | 1:44:55 | |
much of the country, a bright start,
some lovely crisp scenes, for | 1:44:55 | 1:44:59 | |
example the frostiness glistening in
the lovely sunshine but we have a | 1:44:59 | 1:45:04 | |
weather front coming in from the
west in the day introducing thicker | 1:45:04 | 1:45:07 | |
cloud, rain, hill snow and windy
conditions. That will be the | 1:45:07 | 1:45:11 | |
scenario this afternoon in Northern
Ireland and Weston and Northern | 1:45:11 | 1:45:15 | |
Scotland, head of it, the cloud will
build, so it's the far east of | 1:45:15 | 1:45:20 | |
Scotland that hangs onto the
sunshine, here it will be cold, down | 1:45:20 | 1:45:23 | |
to Kelso -- ahead of it. In northern
England, the cloud will build in the | 1:45:23 | 1:45:29 | |
north-west in the day, north-west
England Dash and Dawson east England | 1:45:29 | 1:45:32 | |
remaining slow, cold but sunny --
north-east England remaining cold | 1:45:32 | 1:45:41 | |
but sunny. High cloud in Hampshire,
then the thicker cloud coming in | 1:45:41 | 1:45:47 | |
across Cornwall and into west Wales.
That will introduce the first signs | 1:45:47 | 1:45:52 | |
of rain. Through the evening and
overnight, as it continues to go | 1:45:52 | 1:45:56 | |
south-east, there will be hill snow
on it, still blustery around it and | 1:45:56 | 1:46:00 | |
then we have a gap and our next
weather front comes in from the | 1:46:00 | 1:46:03 | |
west, bringing more rain, this time
or showery in nature. Again some | 1:46:03 | 1:46:08 | |
hill snow in the hills of Scotland,
Northern Ireland and possibly | 1:46:08 | 1:46:12 | |
northern England. Temperature wise,
not as low as the night just gone | 1:46:12 | 1:46:20 | |
but bear in mind, these are in towns
and cities. Over lying snow, a lot | 1:46:20 | 1:46:24 | |
colder than that. First thing
tomorrow we lose our first weather | 1:46:24 | 1:46:27 | |
front from the south, taking the
rain with it, the second one brings | 1:46:27 | 1:46:31 | |
showery outbreaks with some heavy
bursts moving south-east, note the | 1:46:31 | 1:46:33 | |
direction of the isobars, the wind
is changing to a westerly, not as | 1:46:33 | 1:46:37 | |
cold a direction but that doesn't
mean it will be warm. As the showery | 1:46:37 | 1:46:41 | |
outbreaks push south we will see
sunshine coming in behind, note the | 1:46:41 | 1:46:48 | |
temperatures, but behind that it
will turn colder and we will have | 1:46:48 | 1:46:51 | |
snow showers in Scotland and
Northern Ireland and progressively | 1:46:51 | 1:46:53 | |
they will fall to lower levels. As
this sinks south, there's the chance | 1:46:53 | 1:46:58 | |
for the evening rush-hour in
north-west England, we could see | 1:46:58 | 1:47:02 | |
some snow. It's something we're
keeping a close eye on. It depends | 1:47:02 | 1:47:07 | |
how quickly that system moves south.
On Thursday, more unsettled | 1:47:07 | 1:47:11 | |
conditions on the cards. Still a bit
of a north-westerly but it is | 1:47:11 | 1:47:15 | |
starting to move background to
closer to a northerly so we get back | 1:47:15 | 1:47:19 | |
into cooler air once again as we
head to the weekend. Spells of rain, | 1:47:19 | 1:47:24 | |
windy at times, look at the
temperatures in Aberdeen, the top is | 1:47:24 | 1:47:29 | |
likely to be one. Thank you very
much indeed, Carol. You're keeping | 1:47:29 | 1:47:32 | |
us right up to date. | 1:47:32 | 1:47:34 | |
This morning we are talking about
putting in extra hours at work but | 1:47:35 | 1:47:39 | |
only some people are paid the
overtime they are due to. | 1:47:39 | 1:47:45 | |
Lots of people will relate to that,
working more than they get paid for. | 1:47:45 | 1:47:54 | |
About 2.5 million people did
paid overtime last year | 1:47:54 | 1:47:56 | |
but it
isn't as lucrative as it used to be. | 1:47:56 | 1:47:59 | |
Only a fifth of them got
the traditional time and a half. | 1:47:59 | 1:48:02 | |
We went out to ask whether overtime
was still worth it. | 1:48:02 | 1:48:09 | |
We do work over our hours. We get
time owing, which we would put in | 1:48:09 | 1:48:15 | |
for and then they would let us have
the time back again. | 1:48:15 | 1:48:18 | |
No, it's a flat salary. If you put
into hours, ten hours more, | 1:48:18 | 1:48:23 | |
whatever, you're paid exactly the
same. I think it's essential, at the | 1:48:23 | 1:48:27 | |
end of the day in this day and age
you need to get paid for the | 1:48:27 | 1:48:31 | |
overtime, you don't have to do it so
you need to get paid for doing it. | 1:48:31 | 1:48:35 | |
Dan Tomlinson is from
the Resolution Foundation. | 1:48:35 | 1:48:38 | |
What are your thoughts on this
research and what it's telling us? | 1:48:38 | 1:48:41 | |
The really interesting thing is no
one has spoken about paid overtime | 1:48:41 | 1:48:45 | |
before in the UK. It's over 20 years
since we had policies that affected | 1:48:45 | 1:48:50 | |
it so it is good we are talking
about it because one in ten do paid | 1:48:50 | 1:48:54 | |
overtime but as you were saying, the
bonus, the premium they get has been | 1:48:54 | 1:48:59 | |
declining. Why is that? Part of it
is the types of jobs people do has | 1:48:59 | 1:49:04 | |
been changing over the past few
decades in the country, so many more | 1:49:04 | 1:49:12 | |
people used to work in
manufacturing, which has high | 1:49:12 | 1:49:15 | |
premiums, about 17% in terms of a
bonus when you work overtime and we | 1:49:15 | 1:49:19 | |
have fewer people working in sectors
like education where the premium for | 1:49:19 | 1:49:22 | |
paid overtime is smaller even though
every teacher does loads of | 1:49:22 | 1:49:25 | |
overtime, but that is unpaid, so
that's not what we've been looking | 1:49:25 | 1:49:28 | |
at. If you are someone who wants
more for overtime, what are the best | 1:49:28 | 1:49:33 | |
sectors to be in? Manufacturing is a
good sector, as is transport, it is | 1:49:33 | 1:49:38 | |
less good to be in sectors like
retail where we know more than half | 1:49:38 | 1:49:42 | |
of people who work in retail don't
get any premium for their overtime | 1:49:42 | 1:49:46 | |
hours. What about those people who
are not getting paid anything for | 1:49:46 | 1:49:50 | |
overtime? A lot of people who will
do extra hours at home in addition | 1:49:50 | 1:49:54 | |
to their work. That is a bigger
issue in one sense. We think there's | 1:49:54 | 1:50:02 | |
about 3.6 million people doing
unpaid overtime in any week and | 1:50:02 | 1:50:05 | |
about 2.6 million doing paid
overtime but the interesting thing | 1:50:05 | 1:50:09 | |
is, even with paid overtime, there's
more people getting no bonus | 1:50:09 | 1:50:13 | |
whatsoever for that work, so four in
ten people now don't get a premium | 1:50:13 | 1:50:18 | |
for paid overtime, but that was
three in ten a couple of decades | 1:50:18 | 1:50:21 | |
ago. That's interesting, we talk a
lot on this programme about what's | 1:50:21 | 1:50:25 | |
happening with wages and jobs and we
have more people employed than | 1:50:25 | 1:50:32 | |
before but wages haven't been
keeping up the cost of living and | 1:50:32 | 1:50:36 | |
this plays into that. It does.
There's been a rise in different | 1:50:36 | 1:50:39 | |
forms of types of work we might call
insecure or in the UK, more zero | 1:50:39 | 1:50:43 | |
hours contracts and agency workers
and that is falling, but there's | 1:50:43 | 1:50:47 | |
still a lot of people, 900,000
people on zero hours contracts. It's | 1:50:47 | 1:50:52 | |
good we are talking about this and
we should think about policies | 1:50:52 | 1:50:55 | |
helping people in those forms of
insecure employment, like saying if | 1:50:55 | 1:50:59 | |
someone has been working on a zero
hours contract for a few months they | 1:50:59 | 1:51:03 | |
should have the right to move off
it, that would help those people | 1:51:03 | 1:51:06 | |
with the uncertainty of those
contracts. Thanks for coming in to | 1:51:06 | 1:51:09 | |
talk to us, Dan. | 1:51:09 | 1:51:16 | |
Our BBC Breakfast Sings
series is well under way | 1:51:16 | 1:51:18 | |
and we're hoping to spread some joy
and happiness across the country. | 1:51:18 | 1:51:21 | |
A week from today we hope the whole
of the UK will join our Big | 1:51:21 | 1:51:25 | |
Sing-a-long. | 1:51:25 | 1:51:27 | |
We will explain how you joining in a
minute. | 1:51:27 | 1:51:34 | |
Yesterday we spoke about
the science of singing, | 1:51:34 | 1:51:36 | |
how
it's good for your health, | 1:51:36 | 1:51:38 | |
your heart, your head and of course | 1:51:38 | 1:51:40 | |
we've long known it's
good for your soul. | 1:51:40 | 1:51:42 | |
And with all that in mind,
on December the 19th we will be | 1:51:42 | 1:51:45 | |
joining choirs in every corner
of the UK as we come together | 1:51:45 | 1:51:48 | |
to sing in unison. | 1:51:48 | 1:51:50 | |
Imagine how good that'll feel. | 1:51:50 | 1:51:51 | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin went
to Manchester to spread the word. | 1:51:51 | 1:51:57 | |
Christmas, surely the optimum time
for a singalong? Look, tell me, do | 1:51:57 | 1:52:02 | |
you like singing? Yes, I do. You
have a good time and you blasted | 1:52:02 | 1:52:07 | |
out, don't you? And using.
Especially when I'm doing hairspray. | 1:52:07 | 1:52:13 | |
The best songs for hoovering to,
Carol? The jungle book. I want to be | 1:52:13 | 1:52:19 | |
like you! Yeah, great, got to be
done! Carol's here could do it, but | 1:52:19 | 1:52:26 | |
not everyone agrees. Do you enjoy a
singalong? No. Do you enjoy singing? | 1:52:26 | 1:52:35 | |
Bah humbug. So BBC Breakfast is on a
mission to get the whole of the UK | 1:52:35 | 1:52:40 | |
singing. O come let us adore him...
Give me the sales pitch, Raelene, | 1:52:40 | 1:52:49 | |
why do we need to get singing?
Because it really does release loads | 1:52:49 | 1:52:56 | |
of the endorphins, it gets us really
excited about the season coming up. | 1:52:56 | 1:53:00 | |
Yes, good for the soul, lifts the
spirits. Makes you happy. It | 1:53:00 | 1:53:05 | |
rejuvenates! It gives you meaning in
life. It's amazing. It just makes | 1:53:05 | 1:53:12 | |
you feel big, it makes you feel good
about yourself, even though I sound | 1:53:12 | 1:53:17 | |
like a wounded gazelle or something.
A wounded gazelle! Come on, don't be | 1:53:17 | 1:53:22 | |
shy! Come and join us! Wayne, there
will be people at home who say they | 1:53:22 | 1:53:27 | |
can't do it, what do you say to
them? I say you can. | 1:53:27 | 1:53:31 | |
All you need is a willingness to
try. That's all you need. If you | 1:53:31 | 1:53:39 | |
give yourself the opportunity to try
it will definitely get their. Yes | 1:53:39 | 1:53:45 | |
you can! Get singing!
So, whatever your song... Rudolph | 1:53:45 | 1:53:53 | |
the red nose reindeer... Get those
lyrics out. Get practising. 'All I | 1:53:53 | 1:54:01 | |
Want for Christmas is You'! Get
warming up. And on December the | 1:54:01 | 1:54:08 | |
19th... That's it. Merry Christmas,
everyone! Happy time! Thank you! | 1:54:08 | 1:54:23 | |
Thank you!
Merry Christmas! | 1:54:23 | 1:54:30 | |
Did that fella kiss a lobster? I
don't know! The idea is to get | 1:54:30 | 1:54:36 | |
everybody involved.
Next Tuesday we are going to have a | 1:54:36 | 1:54:39 | |
big singalong, you can join in at
home, everyone will start singing | 1:54:39 | 1:54:43 | |
around 9am. The lyrics for oh come
all Ye faithful we have put on our | 1:54:43 | 1:54:49 | |
Twitter page and on Facebook later.
Around 9am we have six choirs in | 1:54:49 | 1:54:54 | |
various parts of the country. You
know when they bounce around and | 1:54:54 | 1:54:59 | |
they do a verse in each? Then you
will be filming it and sending it | 1:54:59 | 1:55:04 | |
in. A massive celebration. You get
the idea. Then tomorrow... It's | 1:55:04 | 1:55:10 | |
tomorrow, isn't it? I have forgotten
about it. We are excited and nervous | 1:55:10 | 1:55:16 | |
because we will be singing in front
of a large audience in Bridgewater | 1:55:16 | 1:55:20 | |
Hall. There's a gospel choir there
thankfully but you, me, Charlie, | 1:55:20 | 1:55:25 | |
Naga, Steph, Mike will be there. We
don't know what we are singing, they | 1:55:25 | 1:55:30 | |
are saving that until tomorrow
morning. We have about seven hours | 1:55:30 | 1:55:34 | |
to perfect it and then do it in
front of thousands of people. What | 1:55:34 | 1:55:38 | |
could possibly go wrong? | 1:55:38 | 1:55:39 | |
This is BBC Breakfast. | 1:55:39 | 1:55:41 | |
Still to come on the programme: | 1:55:41 | 1:55:44 | |
We're back again with more fun and
games and pop music. Some newcomers | 1:55:44 | 1:55:48 | |
to the charts this week. You're the
one that I want is at number six | 1:55:48 | 1:55:52 | |
from Olivia Newton-John... | 1:55:52 | 1:55:55 | |
For everyone who grew up in the 80s
Keith Chegwin was part | 1:55:55 | 1:55:58 | |
of their childhood. | 1:55:58 | 1:55:59 | |
We'll be getting more tributes
to the entertainer who's died | 1:55:59 | 1:56:01 | |
at the age of 60. | 1:56:01 | 1:56:03 | |
He does make me want to smile! Loads
of lovely pictures and memories and | 1:56:03 | 1:56:07 | |
tributes from the front pages of
many of the papers this morning as | 1:56:07 | 1:56:10 | |
well. | 1:56:10 | 1:56:10 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 1:56:10 | 1:59:31 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Louise and Dan. | 1:59:31 | 1:59:33 | |
Bye for now. | 1:59:33 | 1:59:34 | |
Hello this is Breakfast,
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | 2:00:10 | 2:00:12 | |
Big changes could be on the way
to organ donor rules. | 2:00:12 | 2:00:16 | |
In future people may have to opt
out of the transplant | 2:00:16 | 2:00:19 | |
register in England -
health chiefs say it | 2:00:19 | 2:00:20 | |
will help save lives. | 2:00:20 | 2:00:30 | |
Good morning it's Tuesday 12th
December - also this morning: | 2:00:38 | 2:00:40 | |
It's offically been the coldest
night of the year - | 2:00:40 | 2:00:43 | |
temperatures plummeted
to minus 13 in Shropshire. | 2:00:43 | 2:00:47 | |
That leads us into a cold day today
but for many of us it will be dry | 2:00:50 | 2:00:55 | |
and sunny when the freezing fog
lifts but in the West the cloud will | 2:00:55 | 2:01:00 | |
thicken, there will be rain and the
wind will also strengthen. | 2:01:00 | 2:01:05 | |
Aldi and Tesco have come out
on top in the battle | 2:01:05 | 2:01:08 | |
of the supermarkets this Christmas -
according to figures | 2:01:08 | 2:01:10 | |
that are just out. | 2:01:10 | 2:01:11 | |
I'll have all the details shortly. | 2:01:11 | 2:01:12 | |
In sport more fallout
from the game that turned sour. | 2:01:12 | 2:01:15 | |
The FA have asked Manchester United
and Manchester City | 2:01:15 | 2:01:17 | |
for their versions of the events
post match which left City coach | 2:01:17 | 2:01:20 | |
Mikel Arteta injured. | 2:01:20 | 2:01:23 | |
And is it a ten from Len? | 2:01:23 | 2:01:25 | |
The former Strictly judge will be
here to tell us who he thinks | 2:01:25 | 2:01:28 | |
will lift that glitter ball. | 2:01:28 | 2:01:34 | |
First, our main story. | 2:01:34 | 2:01:35 | |
A radical change to the rules around
organ donation in England | 2:01:35 | 2:01:38 | |
is being unveiled today,
as ministers launch a consultation | 2:01:38 | 2:01:41 | |
on moving to a system
of 'presumed consent'. | 2:01:41 | 2:01:44 | |
The reform would mean opting
out of being a donor, | 2:01:44 | 2:01:46 | |
rather than the current scheme
of opting in. | 2:01:46 | 2:01:49 | |
Wales has already taken that
approach, and the Scottish | 2:01:49 | 2:01:51 | |
Government is planning to introduce
a similar scheme. | 2:01:51 | 2:01:54 | |
Our health correspondent
Dominic Hughes reports. | 2:01:54 | 2:01:59 | |
Offering a stranger the gift
of life is what lies | 2:01:59 | 2:02:02 | |
at the heart of organ donation. | 2:02:02 | 2:02:06 | |
These are the names of those who've
helped some of the 6,500 people | 2:02:06 | 2:02:10 | |
who need a transplant each year,
but around 450 will die before | 2:02:10 | 2:02:13 | |
a donor can be found. | 2:02:13 | 2:02:15 | |
The family of Adrian Williams
were happy to support | 2:02:15 | 2:02:17 | |
his decision to donate. | 2:02:17 | 2:02:20 | |
When you lose someone,
and they've given that gift, | 2:02:20 | 2:02:24 | |
that huge gift, you're immensely
proud of them and it fills | 2:02:24 | 2:02:29 | |
you with comfort that other families
are actually enjoying the lives | 2:02:29 | 2:02:32 | |
of their loved ones,
where they may not have done, | 2:02:32 | 2:02:35 | |
because of something that our Ade
has done for them. | 2:02:35 | 2:02:39 | |
The past decade has seen a big surge
in donors across the UK. | 2:02:39 | 2:02:45 | |
In 2007, there were around
790 deceased donors. | 2:02:45 | 2:02:48 | |
That's now risen to more than 1400. | 2:02:48 | 2:02:51 | |
The number of registered donors has
gone up from 14 million | 2:02:51 | 2:02:54 | |
to more than 23 million. | 2:02:54 | 2:02:56 | |
But ministers are concerned
that four out of ten | 2:02:56 | 2:03:00 | |
families say no to donation,
so are proposing a system | 2:03:00 | 2:03:02 | |
where it's assumed we are all
willing to be donors. | 2:03:02 | 2:03:06 | |
The issue of presumed consent is one
thing we are looking at. | 2:03:06 | 2:03:11 | |
What we need is much better
communication inside families | 2:03:11 | 2:03:13 | |
so that people know what family
members actually want. | 2:03:13 | 2:03:17 | |
There are some concerns
that moving to a system | 2:03:17 | 2:03:20 | |
where there is an assumption
we are willing to donate | 2:03:20 | 2:03:24 | |
could be counter-productive,
undoing the good work of recent | 2:03:24 | 2:03:26 | |
years by raising fears over
the government having | 2:03:26 | 2:03:28 | |
a claim on our organs. | 2:03:28 | 2:03:33 | |
Temperatures of minus 13 celsius
have been recorded in Shropshire | 2:03:33 | 2:03:35 | |
on what was the coldest night
of the year so far. | 2:03:35 | 2:03:39 | |
Hundreds of schools have been closed
across England and Wales, | 2:03:39 | 2:03:42 | |
and motorists are being warned
to take care in hazardous | 2:03:42 | 2:03:44 | |
driving conditions. | 2:03:44 | 2:03:45 | |
Tom Burridge has the latest. | 2:03:45 | 2:03:51 | |
They have been working through the
night. Freezing ice on the roads is | 2:03:51 | 2:03:56 | |
expected to be a problem in much of
the country. As temperatures drop to | 2:03:56 | 2:04:00 | |
record lows. In parts of Wales
temperatures drop to around -10. But | 2:04:00 | 2:04:08 | |
the village shopkeeper was the
coldest, a perishing minus 13. At | 2:04:08 | 2:04:14 | |
Kew Gardens it was -3.7. With lots
of snow still around from yesterday | 2:04:14 | 2:04:22 | |
and the weekend it will be hard
going as roads turn I say this | 2:04:22 | 2:04:25 | |
morning. It looks stunning from a
pier but there are weather warnings | 2:04:25 | 2:04:31 | |
for snow and ice in Eastern Scotland
and Eastern England and for ice in | 2:04:31 | 2:04:35 | |
Northern Ireland, Wales, the
Midlands and the south-east of | 2:04:35 | 2:04:39 | |
England. Fun for some as hundreds of
schools closed again. | 2:04:39 | 2:04:48 | |
Our reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn | 2:04:48 | 2:04:50 | |
is at Birmingham Children's Hospital
for us this morning. | 2:04:50 | 2:04:52 | |
Disruption in many parts
of the country is continuing today? | 2:04:52 | 2:04:56 | |
Good morning, the disruption has
been mostly to do with getting | 2:04:58 | 2:05:02 | |
around, that is why hospitals like
this one put out an appeal yesterday | 2:05:02 | 2:05:06 | |
to try to help to get staff in and
out for a late shift last night and | 2:05:06 | 2:05:10 | |
early shifts this morning, anybody
with four by for a late shift last | 2:05:10 | 2:05:13 | |
night and early shifts this morning,
anybody with four by four vehicles, | 2:05:13 | 2:05:17 | |
they say they are sorted for today,
it is these temperatures we are | 2:05:17 | 2:05:21 | |
having which have brought weather
warnings, temperatures dropping as | 2:05:21 | 2:05:25 | |
low as -10 in Wales and that is on
top of the snow we had over the last | 2:05:25 | 2:05:31 | |
couple of days making things even
more difficult. It officially the | 2:05:31 | 2:05:35 | |
coldest night last night, -13 the
most low temperature recorded. We | 2:05:35 | 2:05:42 | |
have seen temperatures across other
parts of the Westminster than is | 2:05:42 | 2:05:48 | |
causing disruption to schools, 350
closed across the West Midlands, | 2:05:48 | 2:05:53 | |
around 90 in Gloucestershire and
more than two large and 50 in Wales | 2:05:53 | 2:05:56 | |
are shut today as well. If you are
going out wrap up tight, it is | 2:05:56 | 2:06:00 | |
perishing. | 2:06:00 | 2:06:03 | |
It was -4 when I came in this
morning, -5 for you? | 2:06:07 | 2:06:13 | |
Yes, someone has said on Twitter it
was -15 on their car barometer. | 2:06:13 | 2:06:18 | |
A lot of black ice out there this
morning, if you are going out, take | 2:06:18 | 2:06:23 | |
care and pay attention to local
travel reports. | 2:06:23 | 2:06:30 | |
The Mayor of New York,
Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb | 2:06:30 | 2:06:32 | |
explosion next to the city's busiest
bus station as an isolated, | 2:06:32 | 2:06:35 | |
attempted terrorist attack. | 2:06:35 | 2:06:36 | |
The suspect, who was injured
in the blast, is a 27 -year-old | 2:06:36 | 2:06:39 | |
Bangladeshi who moved to the US
six years ago. | 2:06:39 | 2:06:41 | |
He's in hospital under arrest. | 2:06:41 | 2:06:42 | |
President Trump said it showed
the need for Congress | 2:06:42 | 2:06:44 | |
to toughen immigration policy. | 2:06:44 | 2:06:53 | |
Four people are being questioned
on suspicion of murder, | 2:06:53 | 2:06:55 | |
after three children died in a house
fire in Salford, early | 2:06:55 | 2:06:58 | |
yesterday morning. | 2:06:58 | 2:06:59 | |
Their mother and another three
year-old child remain | 2:06:59 | 2:07:01 | |
in a critical condition. | 2:07:01 | 2:07:02 | |
Our correspondent, Dave Guest,
is live at the scene. | 2:07:02 | 2:07:07 | |
This is a disturbing story, good
morning. | 2:07:07 | 2:07:13 | |
Good morning, it is indeed. The
police are still present as they | 2:07:13 | 2:07:17 | |
have been since yesterday morning,
it was around 5am fire crews arrived | 2:07:17 | 2:07:21 | |
to find a mid-terrace house well
ablaze. Two 16-year-old boys had got | 2:07:21 | 2:07:26 | |
out but a mother and four children
still trapped inside. Firefighters | 2:07:26 | 2:07:33 | |
rescued them, a 14-year-old girl was
pronounced dead at the scene, a | 2:07:33 | 2:07:39 | |
seven-year-old girl and an
eight-year-old boy were then | 2:07:39 | 2:07:40 | |
pronounced dead in hospital. This
tragedy soon became more sinister as | 2:07:40 | 2:07:46 | |
the police announced they were
treating it as a murder | 2:07:46 | 2:07:51 | |
investigation. Four arrests, three
men and a woman last night on | 2:07:51 | 2:07:56 | |
suspicion of murder and a further
arrest of a man accused of assisting | 2:07:56 | 2:08:01 | |
an offender. This has shocked this
community, flowers at the scene last | 2:08:01 | 2:08:06 | |
night and last night a local church
opened its door so people could | 2:08:06 | 2:08:09 | |
light a candle and say a prayer and
think about the children who lost | 2:08:09 | 2:08:12 | |
their lives and the family torn
apart by this devastation. As the | 2:08:12 | 2:08:18 | |
day goes on detectives will continue
questioning those people arrested | 2:08:18 | 2:08:20 | |
overnight. | 2:08:20 | 2:08:24 | |
Clive Lewis has been cleared of
sexual harassment by a party | 2:08:26 | 2:08:33 | |
enquiry. He has always denied the
allegation and said he was pleased | 2:08:33 | 2:08:41 | |
to be able to put it behind him. | 2:08:41 | 2:08:47 | |
Offering new mothers cash incentives
could significantly increase | 2:08:47 | 2:08:48 | |
breastfeeding rates according
to a new study. | 2:08:48 | 2:08:55 | |
More than 10,000 new mums
were offered shopping vouchers worth | 2:08:55 | 2:08:57 | |
up to £120 if babies received breast
milk at two days, 10 | 2:08:57 | 2:09:00 | |
days and six weeks old. | 2:09:00 | 2:09:02 | |
A further £80 of vouchers
was available if they continued | 2:09:02 | 2:09:04 | |
to receive breast milk up
to six months. | 2:09:04 | 2:09:11 | |
We have been talking a lot about
buying food for Christmas, good news | 2:09:11 | 2:09:16 | |
from the supermarket figures? At
this time of year everyone is | 2:09:16 | 2:09:20 | |
analysing what is going on, who is
coming out on top and what we are | 2:09:20 | 2:09:25 | |
spending our money on, Tesco are by
far the biggest supermarket out of | 2:09:25 | 2:09:28 | |
all of them in the UK but you still
have Aldi and Lidl, Aldi the | 2:09:28 | 2:09:41 | |
fastest-growing supermarket in the
UK with Lidl not that far behind. | 2:09:41 | 2:09:47 | |
They are nowhere near as big as
Tesco yet but it's the fact they | 2:09:47 | 2:09:51 | |
have slowly been taking sales away
from the big supermarkets. In terms | 2:09:51 | 2:09:55 | |
of what we are spending our money on
so far this year, alcohol sales have | 2:09:55 | 2:10:00 | |
gone up quite staggeringly, up to
nearly £172 million compared to this | 2:10:00 | 2:10:05 | |
time last year and that's because,
not necessarily we are drinking more | 2:10:05 | 2:10:09 | |
but we are spending more on it, we
are buying more Kraft gin, lots of | 2:10:09 | 2:10:15 | |
people have been buying Artisan gin,
the new kid on the block is | 2:10:15 | 2:10:23 | |
nonalcoholic beer. The sales of
nonalcoholic beer have grown by 27% | 2:10:23 | 2:10:27 | |
in the past 12 weeks. Lots of people
stocking up on nonalcoholic beer as | 2:10:27 | 2:10:33 | |
well. It is interesting how much we
are expected to spend. On Friday | 2:10:33 | 2:10:40 | |
22nd and Saturday 23rd shoppers are
expected to part with £1.5 billion | 2:10:40 | 2:10:44 | |
in supermarkets for Christmas.
Megamoney. Have you ever build an | 2:10:44 | 2:10:50 | |
igloo? I have not, if we have enough
snow. Have looked at this, we were | 2:10:50 | 2:10:56 | |
talking yesterday about using boxes
to build stuff like this and | 2:10:56 | 2:11:01 | |
Benjamin from Redditch took eight
hours to make this using 500 snow | 2:11:01 | 2:11:05 | |
bricks. Build and his girlfriend 's
garden and everybody enjoyed it. | 2:11:05 | 2:11:09 | |
Some lighting as well the candle and
that is even a dog enjoying himself. | 2:11:09 | 2:11:15 | |
Brilliant. I will try this next time
there is enough snow, fantastic, | 2:11:15 | 2:11:21 | |
thank you for sending it in. | 2:11:21 | 2:11:27 | |
We all need to talk much more openly
about what we want to happen | 2:11:27 | 2:11:30 | |
to our bodies after we die. | 2:11:30 | 2:11:31 | |
That's the message from
the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt | 2:11:31 | 2:11:34 | |
this morning as he launches
a consultation on major changes | 2:11:34 | 2:11:37 | |
to transplant rules in England. | 2:11:37 | 2:11:39 | |
The proposals would see
the introduction of a system | 2:11:39 | 2:11:41 | |
where everyone is assumed to have
given their consent | 2:11:41 | 2:11:43 | |
to donate their organs. | 2:11:43 | 2:11:48 | |
Lets discuss this further
with Iain Brassington, | 2:11:48 | 2:11:50 | |
who lectures in medical ethics
at the University of Manchester | 2:11:50 | 2:11:52 | |
and John Fabre, Emeritus professor
at Kings College London and former | 2:11:52 | 2:11:55 | |
president of the British
Transplantation Society. | 2:11:55 | 2:12:01 | |
Gentlemen, thank you very much for
your time this morning, set out your | 2:12:01 | 2:12:06 | |
position first up, what do you think
of these potential changes, having | 2:12:06 | 2:12:10 | |
to opt out, the same system in
England and in Wales? I think | 2:12:10 | 2:12:14 | |
broadly speaking it's a good idea,
there is evidence people are willing | 2:12:14 | 2:12:19 | |
to be organ donors but out of
forgetfulness or because they never | 2:12:19 | 2:12:22 | |
get rented it is difficult to ensure
they are. The general impression | 2:12:22 | 2:12:26 | |
seems to be most people are willing
to be donors even if they don't give | 2:12:26 | 2:12:31 | |
explicit consent. 80% was the
figure? Something like that. By | 2:12:31 | 2:12:38 | |
making it simple consent it can free
up an immense resource. Do you think | 2:12:38 | 2:12:45 | |
this is the right idea professor? I
think it is a distinctly bad idea | 2:12:45 | 2:12:50 | |
because one can protect whether fair
certainty it will not increase donor | 2:12:50 | 2:12:53 | |
numbers as we all want. There is
also the issue of integrity, the | 2:12:53 | 2:13:01 | |
system lacks integrity. What are the
specific problems, too much pressure | 2:13:01 | 2:13:10 | |
on families or white? Do you mean
with presumed consent? The whole | 2:13:10 | 2:13:16 | |
presumption of consent is if you do
not opt out there in you are legally | 2:13:16 | 2:13:23 | |
in favour of organ donation and we
all know if you have not opted out, | 2:13:23 | 2:13:33 | |
could someone dies then you will not
know their wishes and presumed | 2:13:33 | 2:13:37 | |
consent is the absence of objection
and never before in clinical context | 2:13:37 | 2:13:42 | |
as that seen as informed consent.
What do you make of that? It is true | 2:13:42 | 2:13:48 | |
we are getting rid of consent in
Tyrie but the importance lies in the | 2:13:48 | 2:13:53 | |
fact that people are still running
their own lives so if you are having | 2:13:53 | 2:13:58 | |
a medical procedure the expectation
is it will make a difference to how | 2:13:58 | 2:14:01 | |
you run your life afterwards. If we
talk about organ donors, it's not a | 2:14:01 | 2:14:06 | |
consideration any more. We are not
taking away someone's ability to | 2:14:06 | 2:14:10 | |
control her own life because by this
point their own life has reached its | 2:14:10 | 2:14:13 | |
end point. To that extent that kind
of worried as did looked a little | 2:14:13 | 2:14:18 | |
bit for the practical reasons that
they are no longer self-governing | 2:14:18 | 2:14:21 | |
entities. That is true that most
people want to have a say in what | 2:14:21 | 2:14:31 | |
happens to the body after they died
and I think it's a very strong wish | 2:14:31 | 2:14:34 | |
in a lot of people and a lot of
families. But I think we should | 2:14:34 | 2:14:37 | |
concentrate on is it going to work?
That is my primary concern. You have | 2:14:37 | 2:14:41 | |
concerns about if this would work,
in your view, what might make the | 2:14:41 | 2:14:47 | |
difference? Neither one of you are
against transplantation but what | 2:14:47 | 2:14:49 | |
would make the difference to ensure
there are more donors? I think the | 2:14:49 | 2:14:55 | |
approach is not to presume the
consent of dead donors but to look | 2:14:55 | 2:14:58 | |
across to Spain. The family consent
rates are around 60%, 63%, in Spain | 2:14:58 | 2:15:06 | |
may have had a consent rate of 85%
for around 20 years and they are | 2:15:06 | 2:15:13 | |
consent, they are system of consent
is firmly centred on the family. The | 2:15:13 | 2:15:17 | |
family has to give written consent
for donation to proceed even when | 2:15:17 | 2:15:22 | |
the consent of the donor is
explicit, for example carrying a | 2:15:22 | 2:15:26 | |
donor car and that is underpinned by
extensive public education and | 2:15:26 | 2:15:30 | |
relations. | 2:15:30 | 2:15:31 | |
The Spanish system is about a
cultural difference to where we are | 2:15:36 | 2:15:39 | |
in this country. That would make the
change? That would make a difference | 2:15:39 | 2:15:43 | |
certainly and there is evidence that
the rates of donation are increasing | 2:15:43 | 2:15:46 | |
in the UK because of the way the
system is handled. It is interesting | 2:15:46 | 2:15:51 | |
that the appeal was to the role of
the family in making this decision. | 2:15:51 | 2:15:54 | |
There is a decent moral argument to
be had whether the family really | 2:15:54 | 2:15:58 | |
does have such an important role. So
should the family have a veto over | 2:15:58 | 2:16:03 | |
whether an organ is used for
donation when someone's life maybe | 2:16:03 | 2:16:09 | |
at stake. In most circumstances we
may say it is good to get the family | 2:16:09 | 2:16:16 | |
involved, but when there is another
life at stake so the balance will | 2:16:16 | 2:16:21 | |
shift. Thank you very much indeed.
We could continue talking about this | 2:16:21 | 2:16:25 | |
and I'm sure you will, but thank you
very much. We got to the heart of | 2:16:25 | 2:16:28 | |
the issue. Thank you both very much
indeed. Please let us know your | 2:16:28 | 2:16:35 | |
thoughts on that. You can get in
contact via e-mail or social media | 2:16:35 | 2:16:40 | |
and we will try and get through some
later. Even if we don't get through | 2:16:40 | 2:16:46 | |
your comments on air, we are looking
through them. | 2:16:46 | 2:16:52 | |
It has been the coldest night of the
year and Carol has the details. | 2:16:52 | 2:17:00 | |
Bottom the temperature fell to minus
13 Celsius last night in Shropshire. | 2:17:03 | 2:17:09 | |
On the Isles of Scilly, it is plus

Beautiful Weather Watchers pictures
this morning. You can see a lovely, | 2:17:16 | 2:17:20 | |
frosty scene in Solihull. Similarly
so in Leeds and lying snow too | 2:17:20 | 2:17:24 | |
across Worcestershire. So a cold
start. We have got lying snow. There | 2:17:24 | 2:17:28 | |
is the risk of ice and as well as
that, some of us have got some | 2:17:28 | 2:17:32 | |
freezing fog patches. More notably
across parts of South Wales and the | 2:17:32 | 2:17:37 | |
West Midlands. Some of those will be
slow to lift, but when they do, much | 2:17:37 | 2:17:41 | |
of the UK is off to a sunny start.
There is more cloud out towards the | 2:17:41 | 2:17:45 | |
west. And you can see that that is
going to bring in some rain and | 2:17:45 | 2:17:49 | |
strengthening winds as we go through
the day. So for Northern Ireland, | 2:17:49 | 2:17:53 | |
this afternoon, it will be a wet one
for you. The rain continuing to push | 2:17:53 | 2:17:57 | |
steadily eastwards with hill snow
and it will feel cold. It's the same | 2:17:57 | 2:18:01 | |
across Western Scotland. We have got
the rain coming in with hill snow. | 2:18:01 | 2:18:05 | |
The cloud building ahead of it, the
sunny test skies will be across the | 2:18:05 | 2:18:09 | |
east and the South East of Scotland,
but it will be cold. For northern | 2:18:09 | 2:18:13 | |
England, the cloud building across
the Isle of Man into the north-west | 2:18:13 | 2:18:15 | |
with the odd shower. The north-east
of England, dry and sunny, but cold. | 2:18:15 | 2:18:20 | |
If we draw a line down the centre of
the Midlands heading all points east | 2:18:20 | 2:18:25 | |
and south-east, that's where we have
got the lion's share of the | 2:18:25 | 2:18:27 | |
sunshine, it the cloud building
ahead of the weather front coming in | 2:18:27 | 2:18:30 | |
from the west and the weather front
introducing showery outbreaks of | 2:18:30 | 2:18:34 | |
rain. Away from that, it will be
cold. Through this evening and | 2:18:34 | 2:18:40 | |
overnight, we will continue with the
weather front sinking south. It will | 2:18:40 | 2:18:43 | |
produce hill snow. It will be
blustery around it. Then we've got a | 2:18:43 | 2:18:47 | |
gap before the next weather front
comes in from the west. Again, | 2:18:47 | 2:18:50 | |
introducing some rain, but this time
it will be more showery in nature | 2:18:50 | 2:18:53 | |
and we will see hill snow in
Scotland, Northern Ireland, possibly | 2:18:53 | 2:18:58 | |
North Wales and north-west England.
These temperatures represent towns | 2:18:58 | 2:19:01 | |
and cities. In rural areas and where
we still have lying snow, the | 2:19:01 | 2:19:05 | |
temperature will be lower than that.
So first thing in the morning our | 2:19:05 | 2:19:09 | |
first band of rain clears the South
East, we have got the second one | 2:19:09 | 2:19:14 | |
coming in, the showery one and the
wind changes direction to more of a | 2:19:14 | 2:19:18 | |
westerly. That's less cold. We lose
the rain. The second band comes | 2:19:18 | 2:19:23 | |
south. Showery with the odd heavy
burst. Then we are into colder air. | 2:19:23 | 2:19:29 | |
Across parts of Scotland and
Northern Ireland. At the moment on | 2:19:29 | 2:19:33 | |
current thinking, we could later in
the day for the rush hour see some | 2:19:33 | 2:19:37 | |
of the snow getting into north-west
England as well, but we'll keep you | 2:19:37 | 2:19:40 | |
posted on that, Lou and Dan. Carol,
thank you very much. We will see you | 2:19:40 | 2:19:48 | |
in about 25 minutes for another
update. | 2:19:48 | 2:19:52 | |
The broadcaster Keith Chegwin has
been described by former colleagues | 2:19:54 | 2:19:57 | |
as a "telly legend" and a "one
off" following his death | 2:19:57 | 2:20:00 | |
at the age of 60. | 2:20:00 | 2:20:01 | |
Known to millions of children
and young people in the 1970s | 2:20:01 | 2:20:04 | |
and 80s as one of television's most
familiar presenters, | 2:20:04 | 2:20:06 | |
he'd been suffering
with a progressive lung condition. | 2:20:06 | 2:20:08 | |
He played a part in pioneering
new programme formats such | 2:20:08 | 2:20:10 | |
as Multi-Coloured Swap Shop
and Cheggers Plays Pop | 2:20:10 | 2:20:12 | |
in a varied career that
would span five decades. | 2:20:12 | 2:20:19 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello. We're
back again with more fun and games | 2:20:23 | 2:20:29 | |
and pop music. Several newcomers to
the charts this week. Number six. | 2:20:29 | 2:20:35 | |
They want to swap this silver disc.
What did you receive the silver disc | 2:20:35 | 2:20:41 | |
for? We received it for Abba's
Greatest Hits. How long did it take | 2:20:41 | 2:20:47 | |
you to record the album?
I think your voice is great. You're | 2:20:47 | 2:20:57 | |
not still drinking, are you Keith?
LAUGHTER | 2:20:57 | 2:21:02 | |
No, Cheggers Plays Pop now! Good! | 2:21:02 | 2:21:10 | |
So many programmes he was involved
in over the years. So many happy | 2:21:17 | 2:21:21 | |
memories people are sharing.
One of Keith Chegwin's friends, Ted | 2:21:21 | 2:21:26 | |
robins is with us.
Your friendship goes back a long | 2:21:26 | 2:21:30 | |
time. We were both born in Liverpool
and we were roughly the same age. | 2:21:30 | 2:21:37 | |
Keith was known for his show
business family, his sister and we | 2:21:37 | 2:21:42 | |
used to see each other. And he did
always seem to be on the up. He was. | 2:21:42 | 2:21:51 | |
What you saw was what you get. He
did make it look easy. You see him | 2:21:51 | 2:21:58 | |
with Buzzcocks and stuff. He'd go on
and there was the half thing of | 2:21:58 | 2:22:03 | |
taking the mickey, but he knew what
he was doing and he could do it all. | 2:22:03 | 2:22:06 | |
He really should have been worked in
variety that my dad was from. He | 2:22:06 | 2:22:14 | |
goes back to that era of being able
to sing, dance, do it all. And did | 2:22:14 | 2:22:19 | |
it so easily. And was much cannier
than he made out. He wasn't the | 2:22:19 | 2:22:25 | |
clown, he was a clown, but he was
clever. That's an art in itself, to | 2:22:25 | 2:22:30 | |
be able to bounce on to stage as we
see him there, look like you're | 2:22:30 | 2:22:34 | |
making this whole thing up, when you
probably haven't at all. I did a | 2:22:34 | 2:22:39 | |
kids show called the Slammer on CBBC
with Keith and we were doing a | 2:22:39 | 2:22:45 | |
pantomime in this mad cat prison and
they said who do you think for a | 2:22:45 | 2:22:48 | |
dame? I said it has got to be Keith.
He came in and played widow Twankey. | 2:22:48 | 2:22:59 | |
At the interval they told me the
news. I had just taken the wig off. | 2:22:59 | 2:23:03 | |
I looked in the mirror and the last
time I saw Keith, I think we were | 2:23:03 | 2:23:11 | |
ugly sisters, but he took to it like
that. He would come in and play a | 2:23:11 | 2:23:16 | |
pantomime dame. I was on the League
Of Gentlemen with him. We fiddled | 2:23:16 | 2:23:26 | |
Les McQueen out of his money. I
said, "We could be on telly." He | 2:23:26 | 2:23:35 | |
said, "The first time since Cheggers
Plays Pop." That's part of my life | 2:23:35 | 2:23:38 | |
gone. Exactly. We see him on Extras
here. He played a very rude version | 2:23:38 | 2:23:47 | |
of him. They had fun doing that.
When you watch the clips from years | 2:23:47 | 2:23:51 | |
gone by, he was the pro with live
telly at a time when there weren't | 2:23:51 | 2:23:58 | |
so many people holding an audience,
walking around a hotel on the Big | 2:23:58 | 2:24:04 | |
Breakfast, he was solicitor
comfortable in that live situation? | 2:24:04 | 2:24:08 | |
That's why everyone felt he was
their friend. You know what it's | 2:24:08 | 2:24:13 | |
like live TV, to go from something
crazy and hitting your Marx and our | 2:24:13 | 2:24:20 | |
links, it's like everything in life,
you make it look easy and the people | 2:24:20 | 2:24:24 | |
with the most talent wear it lightly
and he really did it wear lightly. | 2:24:24 | 2:24:28 | |
It strikes me that he was an early
bird because often, about the time | 2:24:28 | 2:24:33 | |
I'm coming into the studio, he would
be on Twitter with endless, endless | 2:24:33 | 2:24:38 | |
jokes. Oh, endless jokes. Some of
his jokes, sent me one not long ago. | 2:24:38 | 2:24:44 | |
He said, "How are you getting on
with that new stair-lift?" Oh, it's | 2:24:44 | 2:24:50 | |
driving me up the wall! It's
ridiculous. Louise hasn't got it | 2:24:50 | 2:24:55 | |
yet! He'd laugh and he did cheesy
gags, but you know. But they were | 2:24:55 | 2:25:02 | |
good. Joining us is Fiona Phillips.
Just tell us about your memories of | 2:25:02 | 2:25:12 | |
Keith? Oh, I loved him. Absolutely
loved him. He was, he was a people | 2:25:12 | 2:25:18 | |
person. I know that's an old cliche,
but he loved the people that he went | 2:25:18 | 2:25:23 | |
out to see and I mean when I was
working with him, it was on | 2:25:23 | 2:25:27 | |
breakfast television, sorry, on the
other side! And we had a competition | 2:25:27 | 2:25:30 | |
and he used to go and surprise the
competition winners and the amount | 2:25:30 | 2:25:34 | |
of work he put into it. He was such
a professional. I mean, he did his | 2:25:34 | 2:25:40 | |
own T-shirts printed for the
families and buy them gifts to take. | 2:25:40 | 2:25:43 | |
He wanted their experience to be a
really brilliant experience. He | 2:25:43 | 2:25:48 | |
really cared about the people he was
meeting. When we used to go out on | 2:25:48 | 2:25:53 | |
the road and do lives, he would warm
up all the people around so they | 2:25:53 | 2:25:58 | |
were cheering and they were really
into the hole thing. He was great | 2:25:58 | 2:26:01 | |
and always a smile and the first
thing he used to say when he came | 2:26:01 | 2:26:05 | |
into the studio or anywhere he
worked was, "Whey-hay." He filled | 2:26:05 | 2:26:12 | |
the room with energy and laughter.
He was a very giving person and I | 2:26:12 | 2:26:17 | |
used to get a text from him every
Christmas and it was just, | 2:26:17 | 2:26:26 | |
"Whay-yah" On Christmas Day. He was
a lovely, lovely fellow. When I | 2:26:26 | 2:26:31 | |
heard yesterday, we heard of so many
people dying lately, celebrities, | 2:26:31 | 2:26:35 | |
but when I heard he'd gone
yesterday, I really did shed a tear, | 2:26:35 | 2:26:40 | |
because he meant a lot to me and he
meant a lot to the people whose | 2:26:40 | 2:26:45 | |
doorstep he turned up on, not
because he had a cheque in his hand | 2:26:45 | 2:26:48 | |
because he really cared about them
and he was a lovely, lovely man. | 2:26:48 | 2:26:54 | |
Fiona, you know what TV is like.
When you met him, he would always | 2:26:54 | 2:27:01 | |
ask you questions about you, rather
than be happy to talk about yourself | 2:27:01 | 2:27:04 | |
all the time? No, he never talked
about himself apart from those | 2:27:04 | 2:27:09 | |
dreadful jokes. He did like to wing
those at you! No, he was more | 2:27:09 | 2:27:14 | |
interested in the person, he was
speaking to, to make them feel | 2:27:14 | 2:27:17 | |
comfortable and if he was a guest,
he would be so well prepared and so | 2:27:17 | 2:27:22 | |
wanting for his bit to be
entertaining, not so that he would | 2:27:22 | 2:27:26 | |
look good, but so the audience would
enjoy it. That's who he was. That's | 2:27:26 | 2:27:30 | |
the man I knew. Fiona Phillips,
thank you very much for coming to | 2:27:30 | 2:27:35 | |
talk to us and Ted Robins, thank
you. | 2:27:35 | 2:27:37 | |
Thank you. Some lovely memories and
he was so fondly remembered by so | 2:27:37 | 2:27:42 | |
many people. Now, the news, the
travel and the | 2:27:42 | 2:31:05 | |
Temperatures get that bit colder but
we should see some sunshine. | 2:31:05 | 2:31:08 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 2:31:16 | 2:31:18 | |
A radical change to the rules around
organ donation in England | 2:31:18 | 2:31:21 | |
is being unveiled today,
as ministers launch a consultation | 2:31:21 | 2:31:23 | |
on moving to a system
of 'presumed consent'. | 2:31:23 | 2:31:26 | |
The reform would mean opting
out of being a donor, | 2:31:26 | 2:31:28 | |
rather than the current scheme
of opting in. | 2:31:28 | 2:31:31 | |
Wales has already taken that
approach, and the Scottish | 2:31:31 | 2:31:33 | |
Government is planning to introduce
a similar scheme. | 2:31:33 | 2:31:39 | |
Temperatures of minus 13 Celsius
have been recorded in Shropshire | 2:31:39 | 2:31:42 | |
on what was the coldest night
of the year so far. | 2:31:42 | 2:31:44 | |
The Met Office has extended yellow
warnings for snow and ice | 2:31:44 | 2:31:47 | |
until later this morning and the AA
has warned driving | 2:31:47 | 2:31:49 | |
could be "hazardous". | 2:31:49 | 2:31:51 | |
Hundreds of schools will stay closed
for a second successive day. | 2:31:51 | 2:31:59 | |
And Carol will have a fall
round up of the weather | 2:31:59 | 2:32:05 | |
And Carol will have a fall round up
of the weather in ten minutes. | 2:32:05 | 2:32:08 | |
Four people have been arrested
on suspicion of murder after three | 2:32:08 | 2:32:11 | |
children died in a house fire
in Salford, Greater Manchester, | 2:32:11 | 2:32:13 | |
in the early hours of Monday
morning. | 2:32:13 | 2:32:15 | |
A 14-year-old girl, named
locally as Demi Pearson, | 2:32:15 | 2:32:17 | |
was pronounced dead at the scene
and an eight-year-old boy and a girl | 2:32:17 | 2:32:20 | |
aged seven died in hospital. | 2:32:20 | 2:32:21 | |
Their mother, named
as Michelle Pearson, | 2:32:21 | 2:32:23 | |
and a three-year-old
are still in a serious condition. | 2:32:23 | 2:32:25 | |
A vigil was held for
the victims last night. | 2:32:25 | 2:32:27 | |
The Mayor of New York,
Bill de Blasio, has described a bomb | 2:32:27 | 2:32:30 | |
explosion next to the city's busiest
bus station as an isolated, | 2:32:30 | 2:32:32 | |
attempted terrorist attack. | 2:32:32 | 2:32:34 | |
The suspect, who was injured
in the blast, is a 27 -year-old | 2:32:34 | 2:32:36 | |
Bangladeshi who moved to the US
six years ago. | 2:32:36 | 2:32:39 | |
He's in hospital under arrest. | 2:32:39 | 2:32:42 | |
President Trump said it showed
the need for Congress | 2:32:42 | 2:32:44 | |
to toughen immigration policy. | 2:32:44 | 2:32:52 | |
Thank God the perpetrator did not
achieve his ultimate. Thank God our | 2:32:52 | 2:32:58 | |
first responders were there so
quickly to address the situation and | 2:32:58 | 2:33:02 | |
make sure people were safe. Thank
God only injuries we know at this | 2:33:02 | 2:33:08 | |
point were minor. | 2:33:08 | 2:33:18 | |
10,000 -- | 2:33:21 | 2:33:21 | |
Research suggests offering shopping
vouchers to new mothers can | 2:33:21 | 2:33:26 | |
encourage them to
breastfeed their babies. | 2:33:26 | 2:33:28 | |
About 10 thousand | 2:33:28 | 2:33:29 | |
new mums in Yorkshire,
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | 2:33:29 | 2:33:30 | |
were offered up to £200
in vouchers as an incentive. | 2:33:30 | 2:33:33 | |
Breastfeeding rates
increased in these areas, | 2:33:33 | 2:33:34 | |
which typically have low uptake. | 2:33:34 | 2:33:35 | |
Breastfeeding levels in the UK
are some of the lowest in the world. | 2:33:35 | 2:33:39 | |
One of the most destructive
wildfires in California's history | 2:33:39 | 2:33:41 | |
is heading towards the city
of Santa Barbara. | 2:33:41 | 2:33:43 | |
Firefighters are battling six
fires across the state, | 2:33:43 | 2:33:48 | |
with the largest having scorched
an area of 230,000 acres. | 2:33:48 | 2:33:51 | |
Governor Jerry Brown,
has described the situation | 2:33:51 | 2:33:54 | |
as 'the new normal' -
predicting that fires like this | 2:33:54 | 2:33:56 | |
could happen every year. | 2:33:56 | 2:34:01 | |
that is about the size of New York
City full study gives an idea of the | 2:34:01 | 2:34:05 | |
scale. We have been talking about it
for the last ten days or so. We have | 2:34:05 | 2:34:11 | |
seen some really genetic pictures of
how the fire is moving. It is | 2:34:11 | 2:34:16 | |
impossible to tell which direction
it is going. | 2:34:16 | 2:34:21 | |
That brings you up to date. | 2:34:21 | 2:34:22 | |
Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9am
this morning on BBC Two. | 2:34:22 | 2:34:25 | |
Let's find out what's
on the programme today. | 2:34:25 | 2:34:27 | |
This morning we gained rare access
to male sex workers talking about | 2:34:27 | 2:34:31 | |
their experiences. Research showed
that 12% of them have been sexually | 2:34:31 | 2:34:36 | |
assaulted but most are unlikely to
report the attack to the police. | 2:34:36 | 2:34:41 | |
Straight afterwards he feel
disgusting, obviously, but you have | 2:34:41 | 2:34:45 | |
that money there. It started off
with one or to macro people a night | 2:34:45 | 2:34:49 | |
and then more and more. Join us for
that and the latest news and sport | 2:34:49 | 2:34:55 | |
after breakfast. | 2:34:55 | 2:34:59 | |
And coming up here
on Breakfast this morning... | 2:34:59 | 2:35:09 | |
We're on a mission to get
the country crooning at Christmas. | 2:35:09 | 2:35:11 | |
We'll be telling you how
you can join us for | 2:35:11 | 2:35:14 | |
a nationwide singalong. | 2:35:14 | 2:35:16 | |
Molly Bloom was known
as the Hollywood Poker Princess, | 2:35:16 | 2:35:18 | |
but involvement with the Russian
mafia and an FBI bust | 2:35:18 | 2:35:24 | |
brought her glamorous
world crashing down. | 2:35:24 | 2:35:26 | |
We'll speak to her and Jessica
Chastain, the actress | 2:35:26 | 2:35:31 | |
who plays her in a new movie. | 2:35:31 | 2:35:34 | |
And it's the Strictly
final this weekend. | 2:35:34 | 2:35:36 | |
Former head judge Len Goodman
will be here to give us his verdict | 2:35:36 | 2:35:39 | |
on this year's competitors and,
of course, his successor, Shirley. | 2:35:39 | 2:35:49 | |
First, the sport. Still talking
about milk cartons. All went a bit | 2:35:53 | 2:35:58 | |
sour. Was it a milk carton against
the wall which splashed over the | 2:35:58 | 2:36:01 | |
code. I have talked over your joke.
-- the coat. | 2:36:01 | 2:36:10 | |
Michalak Teather was injured in some
kind of tracker. -- Arteta. We are | 2:36:10 | 2:36:19 | |
not seeing any images of what
happened in the tunnel. The FA are | 2:36:19 | 2:36:24 | |
trying to find out that they asked
Manchester United Manchester City | 2:36:24 | 2:36:28 | |
for their observations | 2:36:28 | 2:36:31 | |
after City coach Mikel Arteta
was cut on the head | 2:36:31 | 2:36:33 | |
by a plastic bottle. | 2:36:33 | 2:36:34 | |
It's not known who threw it
but United manager Jose | 2:36:34 | 2:36:37 | |
Mourinho also had milk
and water thrown at him. | 2:36:37 | 2:36:39 | |
It appears the row started
when Mourinho objected | 2:36:39 | 2:36:41 | |
to City's celebrations
after their 2-1 victory. | 2:36:41 | 2:36:47 | |
one of the things he complained
about was the fact the city players | 2:36:47 | 2:36:51 | |
are blasting their music out to
loud. He did not like that at all. | 2:36:51 | 2:36:55 | |
A long weekend, described
as "absurd" by their opponents, | 2:36:55 | 2:36:58 | |
finished with Saracens' worst
defeat in rugby unions' | 2:36:58 | 2:36:59 | |
European Champions Cup. | 2:36:59 | 2:37:02 | |
Clermont Auvergne thrashed
their hosts by 46 points | 2:37:02 | 2:37:05 | |
to 14, ending Saracens' two
and a half year unbeaten run in | 2:37:05 | 2:37:08 | |
Europe. | 2:37:08 | 2:37:09 | |
The match had been put back
a day because of snow, | 2:37:09 | 2:37:12 | |
with fans initially banned
then allowed to attend. | 2:37:12 | 2:37:21 | |
There are some stinging
comments in the papers this | 2:37:21 | 2:37:23 | |
morning from former England cricket
captain Michael Vaughan, | 2:37:23 | 2:37:25 | |
who says the current side
are behaving like students and | 2:37:25 | 2:37:27 | |
the senior players need to step
up and be role models. | 2:37:27 | 2:37:30 | |
And with the third Ashes Test
starting on Thursday, | 2:37:30 | 2:37:32 | |
Alistair Cook says they must not
make any more mistakes. | 2:37:32 | 2:37:39 | |
I don't think we are
getting painted fairly | 2:37:39 | 2:37:41 | |
in the media on our culture. | 2:37:41 | 2:37:42 | |
Clearly there have been
a couple of things which, | 2:37:42 | 2:37:44 | |
it sounds silly to say it,
in the media have been brought up, | 2:37:44 | 2:37:48 | |
but there was change
after the September incident, | 2:37:48 | 2:37:49 | |
so it is up to us to adjust to that
quickly and we can't afford any | 2:37:49 | 2:37:53 | |
mistakes because we understand
that they have had it | 2:37:53 | 2:37:55 | |
with the ECB and trying
to make kids play cricket, | 2:37:55 | 2:37:58 | |
which is what we want to do. | 2:37:58 | 2:38:07 | |
When it comes to famous sportspeople
and statues, the results have been | 2:38:07 | 2:38:10 | |
at times and little mixed. This is
one of the best. Cristiano Ronaldo. | 2:38:10 | 2:38:19 | |
It is Nile Quinn! That is at Madeira
airport. That actually had to be | 2:38:19 | 2:38:23 | |
remade because it was so, shall we
say, controversial! Average. Is that | 2:38:23 | 2:38:31 | |
the remade version? That is the
original. Diego Maradona, | 2:38:31 | 2:38:36 | |
Argentinian legend. This is him
pressing the button to unveil his | 2:38:36 | 2:38:40 | |
own statue in the Indian city of
Calcutta. I did not realise he was | 2:38:40 | 2:38:47 | |
in Lord Of The Rings. That is Diego
Maradona, holding a giant replica of | 2:38:47 | 2:38:53 | |
the 1986 World Cup. I know it was
the hand of God but that is just | 2:38:53 | 2:38:58 | |
ridiculous, isn't it? He is still
looking delighted. Yes I think he | 2:38:58 | 2:39:03 | |
probably quite likes the statue of
himself. Someone via the canons... | 2:39:03 | 2:39:09 | |
Let's not look too close. | 2:39:09 | 2:39:18 | |
Molly Bloom has an extraordinary
life. | 2:39:18 | 2:39:23 | |
She was a former world-class
skier whose career | 2:39:23 | 2:39:25 | |
was cut short after an accident. | 2:39:25 | 2:39:26 | |
She then went on to set up
exclusive high-stakes poker | 2:39:26 | 2:39:28 | |
games for Hollywood's elite. | 2:39:28 | 2:39:30 | |
But for all the wealth
and excitement of that lifestyle, | 2:39:30 | 2:39:32 | |
there was a very dark side. | 2:39:32 | 2:39:33 | |
Her story has now been
turned into a film. | 2:39:33 | 2:39:36 | |
Jessica Chastain plays
the Poker Princess in | 2:39:36 | 2:39:37 | |
Molly's Game. | 2:39:37 | 2:39:38 | |
I went to meet them both. | 2:39:38 | 2:39:40 | |
When you heard her story,
what was it about... | 2:39:40 | 2:39:42 | |
Why did you want to play Molly? | 2:39:42 | 2:39:44 | |
Well, first of all, I mean,
her story's incredible. | 2:39:44 | 2:39:46 | |
She goes from being, like,
third in women's moguls | 2:39:46 | 2:39:48 | |
to Los Angeles running the most
exclusive high-stakes | 2:39:48 | 2:39:52 | |
poker game in the world,
and unbeknownst to her she lets | 2:39:52 | 2:39:54 | |
in members of the Russian Mafia
and gets indicted by the FBI. | 2:39:54 | 2:40:04 | |
This is a true story. | 2:40:04 | 2:40:15 | |
It is a bit of, what is the world we
are living in? | 2:40:25 | 2:40:30 | |
I was in a room with movie stars,
directors and business titans. | 2:40:30 | 2:40:33 | |
They were going all
in, all the time. | 2:40:33 | 2:40:36 | |
It's extraordinary because you made
it some time ago but the resonance | 2:40:36 | 2:40:39 | |
it now has post Harvey Weinstein
and everything, what | 2:40:39 | 2:40:41 | |
do you make of that? | 2:40:41 | 2:40:43 | |
It didn't start with
Harvey Weinstein, what's been | 2:40:43 | 2:40:45 | |
going on in the world. | 2:40:45 | 2:40:46 | |
When Aaron was writing this script,
yes, it's very timely now | 2:40:46 | 2:40:48 | |
because it's at the forefront
but a great writer is | 2:40:48 | 2:40:51 | |
ahead of that, right? | 2:40:51 | 2:40:52 | |
He was perceiving what was
going on in the world. | 2:40:52 | 2:40:58 | |
You're going to stop paying me
because I'm making too much money | 2:40:58 | 2:41:00 | |
doing my second job,
and if I say no I'll lose both jobs | 2:41:00 | 2:41:04 | |
because it doesn't seem fair? | 2:41:04 | 2:41:05 | |
You don't have
bargaining power here. | 2:41:05 | 2:41:06 | |
You are unimportant. | 2:41:06 | 2:41:11 | |
You ended up running these games.
What did it finally get up to | 2:41:11 | 2:41:15 | |
produce to even have a seat at the
table? The buy in was $250,000. It | 2:41:15 | 2:41:21 | |
is no limit on so these guys were
sometimes losing the first buying in | 2:41:21 | 2:41:27 | |
the first 10 million -- ten minutes.
These games were infamous in | 2:41:27 | 2:41:35 | |
Hollywood circles. You are not a
man. To 's. Was it all men? In my | 2:41:35 | 2:41:44 | |
games, it was all men. It was people
who are serious about gambling as | 2:41:44 | 2:41:49 | |
well. So, Jessica... I have not
heard anything about these games. It | 2:41:49 | 2:41:56 | |
was not until I got the script. In
the back of my mind I knew the | 2:41:56 | 2:42:03 | |
celebrity poker show that a lot of
actors were interested in poker | 2:42:03 | 2:42:08 | |
games. I'm hosting a game on Tuesday
night. | 2:42:08 | 2:42:12 | |
Tell us a little bit
about the atmosphere, | 2:42:12 | 2:42:14 | |
it's very clear in the film,
but the atmosphere in those games, | 2:42:14 | 2:42:17 | |
what was it like for you? | 2:42:17 | 2:42:18 | |
At one time they are respecting you,
at other times hitting on you. | 2:42:18 | 2:42:26 | |
In the beginning, when I was working
for the game, working for a man who | 2:42:26 | 2:42:31 | |
had the game at the time and I was
bringing drinks or food or whatever. | 2:42:31 | 2:42:36 | |
I was hit on an there was a lot of
like... | 2:42:36 | 2:42:48 | |
you know, "I'll buy
you a purse and I'll take | 2:42:48 | 2:42:51 | |
you on a date," that kind of stuff. | 2:42:51 | 2:42:53 | |
Then when I started being the bank,
it was more like, "I'm not paying | 2:42:53 | 2:42:56 | |
you that $50,000 because that
game was unfair." | 2:42:56 | 2:43:00 | |
I am like, OK, dinner is off the
table. It just completely changed. | 2:43:00 | 2:43:07 | |
There was a marked change
in how I was perceived | 2:43:07 | 2:43:09 | |
and how I was treated. | 2:43:09 | 2:43:11 | |
This comes to the heart
of what we're talking | 2:43:11 | 2:43:13 | |
about now and Jessica,
you've been going out of your way | 2:43:13 | 2:43:15 | |
to talk about and big up people
who feel like Molly, | 2:43:15 | 2:43:18 | |
be able to speak out, haven't you? | 2:43:18 | 2:43:25 | |
Also, what is really important is
that we look at why everything is | 2:43:25 | 2:43:30 | |
the way it is. | 2:43:30 | 2:43:32 | |
Why are there so little, you know,
positions of power for women? | 2:43:32 | 2:43:37 | |
Why are women not sitting
at the table making the decisions? | 2:43:37 | 2:43:42 | |
What's happened is society
has been groomed. | 2:43:42 | 2:43:45 | |
Women and men have been groomed
to behave a certain way and that's | 2:43:45 | 2:43:48 | |
because we don't have women
in leadership and there's no room | 2:43:48 | 2:43:51 | |
at the table for them. | 2:43:51 | 2:43:56 | |
Even women. Women have asked me
about a lot of the characters I play | 2:43:56 | 2:44:04 | |
and, especially in this film, why
doesn't Molly have a love interest | 2:44:04 | 2:44:06 | |
in this film? Female characters are
defined by what they say and they do | 2:44:06 | 2:44:12 | |
not defined by a man in your life.
Even women are having a hard time | 2:44:12 | 2:44:16 | |
understanding that. | 2:44:16 | 2:44:19 | |
Is it going to change? | 2:44:19 | 2:44:20 | |
Is it going to have
to change and how? | 2:44:20 | 2:44:22 | |
Yeah, it absolutely has to change. | 2:44:22 | 2:44:24 | |
Right now with Time Magazine
having People of the Year | 2:44:24 | 2:44:26 | |
as the #metoo movement,
it shows how important it is. | 2:44:26 | 2:44:29 | |
2017, we're going to remember
this year as the time | 2:44:29 | 2:44:32 | |
where people first came... | 2:44:32 | 2:44:33 | |
Not first, but really came forward
and said we can't live in this | 2:44:33 | 2:44:36 | |
complicity any more,
we have to move against what is | 2:44:36 | 2:44:40 | |
being programmed in us. | 2:44:40 | 2:44:46 | |
This is a film that does that. It is
very entertaining but it is so | 2:44:46 | 2:44:51 | |
exciting and fun to see. Also there
is something in there about the | 2:44:51 | 2:44:55 | |
journey of a woman trying to be
successful in an industry where men | 2:44:55 | 2:44:58 | |
make all the rules. | 2:44:58 | 2:45:01 | |
Come on, Molly, how deep
into the Russian mob were you? | 2:45:01 | 2:45:06 | |
You managed to build a multi-million
business. I'm about to be charged. | 2:45:06 | 2:45:14 | |
You ended up in really shocking
situations? Yes, when I look back on | 2:45:14 | 2:45:21 | |
things, most of my problems were of
my own making in terms of making | 2:45:21 | 2:45:25 | |
reckless choices in this world but
the consequences were much heavier | 2:45:25 | 2:45:31 | |
than I imagined. And dealing with
the fallout of that, there has been | 2:45:31 | 2:45:38 | |
a lot of work. What is it like
having a lovely fantastic actor | 2:45:38 | 2:45:47 | |
Jessica playing you? When they told
me that she was interested, I was... | 2:45:47 | 2:45:53 | |
You don't understand, you have to
get her! She is my favourite actress | 2:45:53 | 2:45:59 | |
and I think she is the best actress
of our time. She lives her life with | 2:45:59 | 2:46:04 | |
such moral courage and uses her
platform in such a substantial way | 2:46:04 | 2:46:08 | |
and that is rare and special and I
was just... As soon as I heard her | 2:46:08 | 2:46:17 | |
name, I was, like, I don't care what
you have to do. It is not like | 2:46:17 | 2:46:21 | |
people were listening! No more
meetings. Fantastic film. Thank you | 2:46:21 | 2:46:28 | |
so much for talking to us about it.
Thank you. The real Molly Bloom with | 2:46:28 | 2:46:36 | |
Jessica Chastain, it is called
Molly's Game, it is really | 2:46:36 | 2:46:41 | |
brilliant.
I enjoyed that interview. | 2:46:41 | 2:46:44 | |
Fascinating. Wonderful to talk to
them. Molly arrived 15 minutes early | 2:46:44 | 2:46:48 | |
so we did a lot of chatting. Let us
catch up with Carol for the final | 2:46:48 | 2:46:55 | |
time on | 2:46:55 | 2:46:58 | |
catch up with Carol for the final
time on Breakfast. Beautiful | 2:46:58 | 2:46:59 | |
pictures in this morning. This from
Worcestershire, lying snow and | 2:46:59 | 2:47:05 | |
missed. Shropshire had the lowest
temperatures last night, minus 13. | 2:47:05 | 2:47:14 | |
Overnight low. Currently, these are
the temperatures outside... The | 2:47:14 | 2:47:27 | |
Isles of Scilly, a bit more cloud,
but where we have lying snow and low | 2:47:27 | 2:47:34 | |
temperatures, the risk of ice. If
you are travelling, bear it in mind. | 2:47:34 | 2:47:39 | |
Freezing fog in South Wales, West
Midlands, slow to clear. But when it | 2:47:39 | 2:47:45 | |
does, much of the UK often
attributed. With sunshine. The cloud | 2:47:45 | 2:47:48 | |
will build in the West ahead of the
weather from coming in during the | 2:47:48 | 2:47:52 | |
day -- much of the UK bathed in
sunshine. The rain will urge | 2:47:52 | 2:47:59 | |
eastwards. It will feel chilly and
we are looking at hill snow. The | 2:47:59 | 2:48:03 | |
same too in the West of Scotland,
rain coming in with Phil spoke | 2:48:03 | 2:48:07 | |
McLeod building ahead of it -- with
hill snow and the cloud building | 2:48:07 | 2:48:14 | |
ahead of it. North-east England
hanging onto the sunshine. The cloud | 2:48:14 | 2:48:23 | |
in the West. The cloud is getting
thicker as the weather front | 2:48:23 | 2:48:34 | |
approaches. Rain in south-west
England and also Wales. Heading on | 2:48:34 | 2:48:39 | |
through the evening and overnight,
the weather front continues moving | 2:48:39 | 2:48:43 | |
south-east through the country with
blustery winds. Clearer skies | 2:48:43 | 2:48:48 | |
following on behind and a second
weather front coming our way, | 2:48:48 | 2:48:53 | |
introducing rain, but more showery.
There will be snow on the hills of | 2:48:53 | 2:48:58 | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland and
possibly northern England and Wales | 2:48:58 | 2:49:01 | |
later. Tomorrow, this weather front,
it continues to quite quickly clear | 2:49:01 | 2:49:06 | |
away from the south-east. The second
one, more sherry, the odd heavy | 2:49:06 | 2:49:11 | |
burst, continuing to sink
south-east, the wind turning more | 2:49:11 | 2:49:15 | |
westerly, less cold for us. The
showery outbreaks, pushing down to | 2:49:15 | 2:49:23 | |
the south-east, and behind it,
clearer skies and some sunshine. | 2:49:23 | 2:49:27 | |
Back into the cold air in the North,
cold enough for snow. Something we | 2:49:27 | 2:49:35 | |
are thinking at the moment, as the
system pushes south-east, we could | 2:49:35 | 2:49:39 | |
in the rush hour in north-west
England in the evening sees some of | 2:49:39 | 2:49:43 | |
the snow as well. If you are
travelling, keep watching the | 2:49:43 | 2:49:47 | |
weather forecast. The temperatures
are nothing to write home about. A | 2:49:47 | 2:49:52 | |
little bit milder further south.
Thursday, more unsettled with spells | 2:49:52 | 2:49:58 | |
of rain and also hill snow as well. | 2:49:58 | 2:50:00 | |
Thank you for guiding us through. We
will see you tomorrow. Coldest night | 2:50:04 | 2:50:08 | |
of the year! | 2:50:08 | 2:50:11 | |
Christmas is known as a time
for indulging - rich food, | 2:50:11 | 2:50:14 | |
alcohol and parties. | 2:50:14 | 2:50:15 | |
It can all be a bit overwhelming,
especially if you suffer | 2:50:15 | 2:50:17 | |
from an eating disorder. | 2:50:17 | 2:50:18 | |
The charity Beat says its support
line will stay open this year | 2:50:18 | 2:50:21 | |
on Christmas Day to help
those who are struggling | 2:50:21 | 2:50:23 | |
over the festive period. | 2:50:23 | 2:50:25 | |
Joining us in the studio
are Caroline Price from the charity | 2:50:25 | 2:50:28 | |
and Dr Elizabeth McNaught who nearly
died at the age of 14 from anorexia. | 2:50:28 | 2:50:31 | |
She's now Beat's ambassador. | 2:50:31 | 2:50:34 | |
Good morning. Let us talk about
first of all, it can be a really | 2:50:34 | 2:50:42 | |
tough time for people who have
issues with food, tell us a little | 2:50:42 | 2:50:46 | |
bit about what Christmas was like
with you. It can be an immensely | 2:50:46 | 2:50:53 | |
stressful time for someone living
with an eating disorder, you have | 2:50:53 | 2:50:58 | |
also got a lot of rich food and
indulgent food eating at times you | 2:50:58 | 2:51:03 | |
cannot control, eating food you
cannot control, and also, family | 2:51:03 | 2:51:08 | |
gatherings, Christmas parties you
have to deal with. A time that is | 2:51:08 | 2:51:11 | |
meant to be incredibly enjoyable and
having family together can actually | 2:51:11 | 2:51:17 | |
become incredibly exclusive because
you feel like you cannot deal with | 2:51:17 | 2:51:21 | |
the food and also anxiety provoking
and stressful. When you are | 2:51:21 | 2:51:25 | |
suffering badly, did you use to
start to get worried in November | 2:51:25 | 2:51:28 | |
about what would happen, awkward
comments from family members you | 2:51:28 | 2:51:32 | |
have not seen, all of that stuff?
Absolutely. I used to go through a | 2:51:32 | 2:51:38 | |
cycle of being excited in September,
going back to school, thinking about | 2:51:38 | 2:51:43 | |
the Christmas holidays, but
gradually, as November passes | 2:51:43 | 2:51:46 | |
through, into December, the
anxieties can be overwhelming and | 2:51:46 | 2:51:50 | |
you can feel like you are trapped,
trapped by this wall of never-ending | 2:51:50 | 2:51:55 | |
food that is Christmas. What advice
can you give to people who are | 2:51:55 | 2:52:00 | |
thinking along these lines and
families as well? We always say | 2:52:00 | 2:52:03 | |
planning is key. Communicating with
one another, it sounds obvious, but | 2:52:03 | 2:52:09 | |
for someone suffering from an eating
disorder, not wanting to talk about | 2:52:09 | 2:52:14 | |
it, feeling ashamed, guilty, worried
about ruining Christmas for the | 2:52:14 | 2:52:17 | |
family, wanting to isolate
themselves, pretend it is not | 2:52:17 | 2:52:20 | |
happening. We advise them to try to
write down the things that make them | 2:52:20 | 2:52:25 | |
anxious and share it with their
family, parents, partner. Talk | 2:52:25 | 2:52:28 | |
through how they can make Christmas
work for them and not feel the | 2:52:28 | 2:52:32 | |
pressure to conform to what a
traditional Christmas is for a lot | 2:52:32 | 2:52:41 | |
of people. You do not have to have a
Christmas meal at 3pm, make your own | 2:52:41 | 2:52:44 | |
rules, have a buffet or think about
how that person... What they would | 2:52:44 | 2:52:47 | |
want to eat and not put pressure on
to eat excessively. Involve them in | 2:52:47 | 2:52:51 | |
the planning so it reduces their
anxiety. I can see you nodding. You | 2:52:51 | 2:52:56 | |
are a great story to have on because
you have been through that, come out | 2:52:56 | 2:53:00 | |
the other side, what was the process
that helped you to now be able to | 2:53:00 | 2:53:04 | |
approach Christmas with a very
different mindset? I think my whole | 2:53:04 | 2:53:09 | |
journey through recovery has been
massively helped by the | 2:53:09 | 2:53:15 | |
professionals, I will be forever
thankful for professional help, they | 2:53:15 | 2:53:19 | |
supported me through Christmas,
helping in being there, NHS... They | 2:53:19 | 2:53:25 | |
work for the NHS, present the whole
way through Christmas. But also Beat | 2:53:25 | 2:53:30 | |
was incredibly helpful especially in
the festive period. When it was -- | 2:53:30 | 2:53:34 | |
when I was younger, it was message
boards, you could ask how other | 2:53:34 | 2:53:38 | |
people were coping, techniques to
survive that period. You are there | 2:53:38 | 2:53:43 | |
for people, what about getting
access to health care, can you help | 2:53:43 | 2:53:47 | |
them? You are faced with something
you do not know. Absolutely. We know | 2:53:47 | 2:53:52 | |
from recent research we published it
can take a very long time for | 2:53:52 | 2:53:55 | |
someone to realise an acknowledge
they have an eating disorder and | 2:53:55 | 2:53:59 | |
then the fear of reaching out and
telling someone something is wrong | 2:53:59 | 2:54:02 | |
and getting access to the treatment
they need, it can take someone on | 2:54:02 | 2:54:06 | |
average three times to get a
referral for treatment. An adult | 2:54:06 | 2:54:09 | |
taking up to 256 weeks to get access
to treatment, a huge amount of time. | 2:54:09 | 2:54:15 | |
Our hotline... 256 weeks! Massive.
We are working on our helpline to | 2:54:15 | 2:54:26 | |
reassure people, let them know it is
not their fault, guide them through | 2:54:26 | 2:54:29 | |
what their options are and that
their GP should be putting them | 2:54:29 | 2:54:34 | |
through for specialist assessment
and not being passed through to | 2:54:34 | 2:54:37 | |
generic mental health services. The
challenge is the availability of | 2:54:37 | 2:54:41 | |
mental health services.
Understanding is a big thing and | 2:54:41 | 2:54:44 | |
ignorance. I am already looking
forward to the number of potatoes I | 2:54:44 | 2:54:47 | |
will beat on Christmas Day. That is
the way I have approach Christmas | 2:54:47 | 2:54:51 | |
always. -- I will be eating on
Christmas Day. Radical advice | 2:54:51 | 2:54:59 | |
yesterday, I was looking into the
subject, having a buffet meal -- | 2:54:59 | 2:55:03 | |
practical advice. Absolutely, yeah,
doing things like that can alleviate | 2:55:03 | 2:55:12 | |
the pressure. You do have to still
look out for the person with an | 2:55:12 | 2:55:16 | |
eating disorder, there does need to
be some form of meal planning about | 2:55:16 | 2:55:21 | |
it, but having a buffet style meal
can be more accessible and inclusive | 2:55:21 | 2:55:25 | |
for people living through an eating
disorder. At the moment, I am | 2:55:25 | 2:55:30 | |
crowdfunding to create a Christmas
book which should be out next year | 2:55:30 | 2:55:34 | |
to help people with an eating
disorder cope with Christmas, | 2:55:34 | 2:55:37 | |
including things like meal ideas and
buffet style foods. Thank you both | 2:55:37 | 2:55:45 | |
very much indeed for coming to talk
to us and I am sure lots of people | 2:55:45 | 2:55:49 | |
may be feeling the same way, so
thank you very much. | 2:55:49 | 2:55:52 | |
And have a great Christmas, both of
you. This is an exciting week. | 2:55:52 | 2:56:01 | |
Our BBC Breakfast Sings series
is well under way and we're hoping | 2:56:01 | 2:56:03 | |
to spread some joy and happiness
across the country. | 2:56:03 | 2:56:06 | |
A week from today, we hope
the whole of the UK will | 2:56:06 | 2:56:08 | |
join our big singalong. | 2:56:08 | 2:56:10 | |
Yesterday, we spoke
about the science of singing - how | 2:56:10 | 2:56:12 | |
it's good for your health,
your heart, your head, | 2:56:12 | 2:56:14 | |
and of course, we've long known
it's good for your soul. | 2:56:14 | 2:56:17 | |
And with all that in mind,
on 19th December, we will be joining | 2:56:17 | 2:56:20 | |
choirs in every corner of the UK
as we come together | 2:56:20 | 2:56:23 | |
to sing in unison. | 2:56:23 | 2:56:24 | |
This time next week! | 2:56:24 | 2:56:25 | |
Imagine how good that'll feel. | 2:56:25 | 2:56:30 | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin went
to Manchester to spread the word. | 2:56:30 | 2:56:37 | |
Christmas, surely the optimal
time for a singalong? | 2:56:39 | 2:56:42 | |
Tell me, do you like singing? | 2:56:42 | 2:56:44 | |
Yes, I do. | 2:56:44 | 2:56:46 | |
You're just all together
and have a good time. | 2:56:46 | 2:56:56 | |
You just blast it all out,
don't you, when you sing? | 2:56:56 | 2:56:59 | |
Yeah. | 2:56:59 | 2:56:59 | |
Especially when I'm doing housework. | 2:56:59 | 2:57:01 | |
Best song for hoovering to, Carol? | 2:57:01 | 2:57:02 | |
Jungle Book. | 2:57:02 | 2:57:03 | |
Yeah, Jungle Book. | 2:57:03 | 2:57:04 | |
# I want to be like you. | 2:57:04 | 2:57:06 | |
Yeah, great. | 2:57:06 | 2:57:07 | |
Got to be done. | 2:57:07 | 2:57:08 | |
Carol's got to do it,
but not everyone agrees. | 2:57:08 | 2:57:10 | |
Do you enjoy a singalong? | 2:57:10 | 2:57:11 | |
No. | 2:57:11 | 2:57:12 | |
Do you like singing? | 2:57:12 | 2:57:13 | |
No? | 2:57:13 | 2:57:14 | |
Bah humbug. | 2:57:14 | 2:57:15 | |
OK. | 2:57:15 | 2:57:17 | |
Fine. | 2:57:17 | 2:57:19 | |
So BBC Breakfast is on a mission
to get the whole of the UK singing. | 2:57:19 | 2:57:23 | |
# Oh, come let us adore him.# | 2:57:23 | 2:57:27 | |
Give me the sales pitch, Wayne. | 2:57:27 | 2:57:29 | |
Why do we need to get singing? | 2:57:29 | 2:57:32 | |
Because it really does release
loads of endorphins. | 2:57:32 | 2:57:37 | |
It gets us really excited
about the season coming up. | 2:57:37 | 2:57:43 | |
Yes, good for the soul,
lifts the spirits. | 2:57:43 | 2:57:45 | |
Makes you happy. | 2:57:45 | 2:57:46 | |
TOGETHER: You rejuvenate. | 2:57:46 | 2:57:49 | |
It gives you meaning in life. | 2:57:49 | 2:57:51 | |
It's amazing. | 2:57:51 | 2:57:53 | |
It just makes me feel big. | 2:57:53 | 2:57:54 | |
It makes you feel
good about yourself. | 2:57:54 | 2:57:56 | |
Even though I sound like a wounded
gazelle or something. | 2:57:56 | 2:58:00 | |
A wounded gazelle! | 2:58:00 | 2:58:01 | |
Come on, don't be shy. | 2:58:01 | 2:58:04 | |
Come and join us! | 2:58:04 | 2:58:05 | |
Come and join us! | 2:58:05 | 2:58:06 | |
Wayne, there will be
people watching at home, | 2:58:06 | 2:58:08 | |
"I can't do it, I can't sing,"
what do you say to them? | 2:58:08 | 2:58:11 | |
I say, you can. | 2:58:11 | 2:58:17 | |
# Oh, come let us adore...# | 2:58:17 | 2:58:19 | |
All
you need is a willingness to try, | 2:58:19 | 2:58:21 | |
that's all you need. | 2:58:21 | 2:58:22 | |
And if you give yourself
the opportunity to try, | 2:58:22 | 2:58:24 | |
then you will definitely get there. | 2:58:24 | 2:58:25 | |
Big smiles. | 2:58:25 | 2:58:27 | |
Yes, you can. | 2:58:27 | 2:58:28 | |
Get singing. | 2:58:28 | 2:58:33 | |
So, whatever your song... | 2:58:33 | 2:58:35 | |
# Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer... | 2:58:35 | 2:58:37 | |
Get those lyrics out. | 2:58:37 | 2:58:38 | |
La-la-la-la-la. | 2:58:38 | 2:58:41 | |
Get practising. | 2:58:41 | 2:58:44 | |
# All I want for Christmas is you. | 2:58:44 | 2:58:46 | |
Get warming up. | 2:58:46 | 2:58:50 | |
And on December the 19th... | 2:58:50 | 2:58:52 | |
# Let's get Britain singing! | 2:58:52 | 2:58:55 | |
Merry Christmas, everyone! | 2:58:55 | 2:58:59 | |
Happy times. | 2:58:59 | 2:59:03 | |
Thank you. | 2:59:03 | 2:59:06 | |
Merry Christmas! | 2:59:06 | 2:59:14 | |
Michael Bonshor is a lecturer at
Sheffield University and specialises | 2:59:14 | 2:59:17 | |
in the psychology of music. | 2:59:17 | 2:59:23 | |
It is lovely to see you. We are very
excited about this. The key is that | 2:59:23 | 2:59:28 | |
you do not have to be good at
singing for it to be beneficial. | 2:59:28 | 2:59:33 | |
Absolutely not. You could be making
the most awful racket and reaping | 2:59:33 | 2:59:37 | |
the benefits of it. Even if you are
not able to sing very well, you will | 2:59:37 | 2:59:42 | |
still be improving your breathing
and relaxing and toning your stomach | 2:59:42 | 2:59:46 | |
muscles and getting all the positive
feelings out of it and making lots | 2:59:46 | 2:59:51 | |
of good, social contact. And
actually, even if you think you | 2:59:51 | 2:59:59 | |
cannot sing, it usually it is not
quite true. Most people who think | 2:59:59 | 3:00:02 | |
they cannot think, can, if they
start to practice. I have been | 3:00:02 | 3:00:05 | |
teaching singing for nearly 35
years. I have not met anybody who | 3:00:05 | 3:00:10 | |
cannot improve. This is good
encouragement for us. Tomorrow we, | 3:00:10 | 3:00:16 | |
and four other breakfast presenters
are singing at the Bridgewater Hall. | 3:00:16 | 3:00:19 | |
Encouragement for us. What is the
importance of singing groups? We are | 3:00:19 | 3:00:24 | |
talking about the effect it can have
on your mind and your heart and your | 3:00:24 | 3:00:27 | |
outlook generally. The key thing
about singing in groups is the group | 3:00:27 | 3:00:32 | |
process. On the singing front, we
all breathe together and it slows | 3:00:32 | 3:00:38 | |
down our breathing and heart rate.
It helps to increase hormone called | 3:00:38 | 3:00:43 | |
oxytocin, which is the bonding
hormone and beta endorphins as well. | 3:00:43 | 3:00:51 | |
They are the hormones that create
bonding between mothers and | 3:00:51 | 3:00:55 | |
children. They create an analgesic
effect. Some researchers have tried | 3:00:55 | 3:01:02 | |
to do things like testing people's
pain thresholds before and after | 3:01:02 | 3:01:06 | |
they have been singing in a group
and finding that actually the pain | 3:01:06 | 3:01:10 | |
threshold increases and the singing
has helped with pain relief. It | 3:01:10 | 3:01:14 | |
sounds like you should be
prescribing it. It should be | 3:01:14 | 3:01:19 | |
prescribed on the NHS. Like you get
GP referral schemes for the gym, | 3:01:19 | 3:01:23 | |
there should be GP referral schemes
for music and singing. In some areas | 3:01:23 | 3:01:28 | |
that is being looked into but it is
early days yet. Does it affect men | 3:01:28 | 3:01:38 | |
and women in the same way? Is there
a difference? I don't think so good | 3:01:38 | 3:01:41 | |
that we all have a similar vocal
instrument. We need to breathe well | 3:01:41 | 3:01:43 | |
to sing well. You will get the
effects of breathing deeply, when | 3:01:43 | 3:01:46 | |
you are male or female. You will
have the same social enjoyment from | 3:01:46 | 3:01:51 | |
it and the same enjoyment, I think a
working together on a group project | 3:01:51 | 3:01:55 | |
and achieving something together as
well. You say you have been teaching | 3:01:55 | 3:01:59 | |
singing for over 30 years. Can you
remember a moment when you have seen | 3:01:59 | 3:02:04 | |
it change someone's life?
Absolutely. I had the guy who was | 3:02:04 | 3:02:10 | |
playing bass guitar in a tribute
band. He had been asked to sing | 3:02:10 | 3:02:15 | |
backing vocals. He was terrified
because he felt he could not sing in | 3:02:15 | 3:02:20 | |
tune for the truth was, when he came
to me he could not sing in cheerful | 3:02:20 | 3:02:25 | |
after six months he could and we had
improved the tone. He was singing | 3:02:25 | 3:02:30 | |
backing vocals in his group and
really bonding with his tribute | 3:02:30 | 3:02:34 | |
band. After a year, he sang at one
my student's nonsense and | 3:02:34 | 3:02:40 | |
accompanied himself on the guitar
and nobody knew he had ever been | 3:02:40 | 3:02:44 | |
slightly out of June or I'm singer.
You will be fully behind the plan we | 3:02:44 | 3:02:48 | |
have next Tuesday for six choirs all
singing together. Around about this | 3:02:48 | 3:02:54 | |
time next week. Individuals and
groups singing along. Hopefully | 3:02:54 | 3:02:59 | |
you'll be a proper event. -- it will
be. It sounds like it. It's as like | 3:02:59 | 3:03:06 | |
Eric Whitaker's virtual choir. That,
of course, are very good idea. What | 3:03:06 | 3:03:12 | |
we want you to do is to join in at
home and, like you said, we would | 3:03:12 | 3:03:16 | |
love to see the results of everybody
joining us at singing as well. | 3:03:16 | 3:03:21 | |
And after that, just in case
you need that little | 3:03:21 | 3:03:24 | |
bit more encouragement,
take a look at this. | 3:03:24 | 3:03:27 | |
# what oh | 3:03:27 | 3:03:30 | |
# what oh fun it is going to be on
the 19th of September. The 19th of | 3:03:30 | 3:03:35 | |
December, let's get Britain singing.
Oh, what fun it is going to be on | 3:03:35 | 3:03:39 | |
the 19th of December.
# Wayne is a legend. He is going to | 3:03:39 | 3:03:48 | |
be helping us with our singing
tomorrow. Is it the 19th of December | 3:03:48 | 3:03:52 | |
that was happening? I think it was.
I will be singing along. | 3:03:52 | 3:03:57 | |
But first, a last brief
look at the headlines | 3:03:57 | 3:03:59 | |
where you are this morning. | 3:03:59 | 3:05:34 | |
Top temperature four degrees. I'm
back at 1:30pm with the lunchtime | 3:05:34 | 3:05:39 | |
news. | 3:05:39 | 3:05:46 | |
With his quirky catchphrases
and head judge on the programme | 3:05:46 | 3:05:48 | |
since the pilot show back in 2004. | 3:05:48 | 3:05:58 | |
After making a tough decision to
leave the show last year he is set | 3:05:58 | 3:06:02 | |
to return to the small screen with
the Christmas special of | 3:06:02 | 3:06:05 | |
to return to the small screen with
the Christmas special of his comedy | 3:06:05 | 3:06:06 | |
game show, Partners In Rhyme. Before
We Speak To Him, let's have a look | 3:06:06 | 3:06:17 | |
at him. I can sing, Jingle Bells
backwards. | 3:06:17 | 3:06:24 | |
Everybody... | 3:06:30 | 3:06:40 | |
I can sing Ding Dong Merrily On High
backwards. Oh, Len, it is lovely to | 3:06:42 | 3:06:51 | |
have you here. We were just talking
about a good singer. Do you like a | 3:06:51 | 3:07:00 | |
bit of a song? People say to me, I
cannot dance. It is like singing. | 3:07:00 | 3:07:07 | |
Some can sing better than others and
it is the same with dance for the | 3:07:07 | 3:07:10 | |
Sung Kang dance great and others not
so great but we can all dance and we | 3:07:10 | 3:07:16 | |
can all sing. -- Sam can dance.
Jeremy Vine said we should ban the | 3:07:16 | 3:07:23 | |
phrase, dad dancing but it makes
people think I am embarrassed to get | 3:07:23 | 3:07:27 | |
out because it stops people getting
on to the dance floor. Dad dancers | 3:07:27 | 3:07:33 | |
have to have a couple of beers in
them and as you come. It is a bit | 3:07:33 | 3:07:37 | |
like when I was a boy, 20 or so, I
used to go and think I was the | 3:07:37 | 3:07:45 | |
equivalent of George Clooney, a
handsome devil. I am sure you were. | 3:07:45 | 3:07:52 | |
How low its commissioner have a
couple of drinks and get out. Give | 3:07:52 | 3:07:55 | |
it a bit of welly. -- hello. Shirley
has been great. I think she is | 3:07:55 | 3:08:08 | |
grateful that not just because she
has taken over from me. It is a bit | 3:08:08 | 3:08:13 | |
like you, when you took over from
Bill Turnbull. Who? Like you, he was | 3:08:13 | 3:08:21 | |
here for 15 years. You'd think, here
we go. You step in and you become | 3:08:21 | 3:08:26 | |
the become. Shirley has been
wonderful because she has got in | 3:08:26 | 3:08:31 | |
there, she has her own self. Good
critiques. She was saying you judged | 3:08:31 | 3:08:38 | |
her as a child. I have judged
everyone since they were a child. | 3:08:38 | 3:08:45 | |
She is a wonderful Latin dancer,
brilliant. She brings a lot of | 3:08:45 | 3:08:50 | |
technical... Learning new words I
did not know existed. I started off | 3:08:50 | 3:08:57 | |
like that and then I was told... No
one knows what you are talking | 3:08:57 | 3:09:02 | |
about. They are back in now, aren't
they? They are back in. Good for | 3:09:02 | 3:09:06 | |
them. You are very happy with
Shirley Fulton what about the | 3:09:06 | 3:09:12 | |
standard of dancing? Brilliant. I
did not see it early doors because I | 3:09:12 | 3:09:17 | |
was in America doing the American
Strictly, but my job to do. Debbie | 3:09:17 | 3:09:23 | |
McGee has been a star, hasn't she?
She is wonderful. Nearly 60 years | 3:09:23 | 3:09:29 | |
old and so full of vim, bigger and
vitality. They are all good. What is | 3:09:29 | 3:09:36 | |
great is when you get a final and
you really don't know who will win. | 3:09:36 | 3:09:43 | |
Alexandra is fabulous as well. She
is wonderful. A beautiful, fluid | 3:09:43 | 3:09:48 | |
movement in her arms. What about
Joe! Look at him. I did not like | 3:09:48 | 3:09:54 | |
this bit in front of the mirror,
that got on my wick. That lift at | 3:09:54 | 3:10:02 | |
the end where Katya Paul... Wasn't
that good. We used to do that at | 3:10:02 | 3:10:08 | |
school, linking arms back to back
and trying to get up. The clever | 3:10:08 | 3:10:14 | |
people at my school used to do that,
or something very similar. We were | 3:10:14 | 3:10:19 | |
talking about it yesterday. It looks
so amazing. I am presuming it is | 3:10:19 | 3:10:23 | |
very hard. It is balance more than a
lift. I think you have a very strong | 3:10:23 | 3:10:30 | |
core. I saw you when you stood up.
That is the key. Is it? I don't | 3:10:30 | 3:10:36 | |
know. Somebody said that. Hopefully
we'll with these pictures. We will | 3:10:36 | 3:10:45 | |
see if we can see them. What is
great with the viewers, they | 3:10:45 | 3:10:54 | |
appreciate more, I think, those that
have never danced before, rather | 3:10:54 | 3:10:59 | |
than those they think have had a bit
of a background in musical theatre | 3:10:59 | 3:11:03 | |
or whatever. The career thing, when
you think of Darren Gough, he had | 3:11:03 | 3:11:08 | |
never danced, and Mark Ramprakash,
and other sports people. Last year, | 3:11:08 | 3:11:16 | |
Ore Oduba. We have not seen him
since. Every time you turn on the | 3:11:16 | 3:11:22 | |
telly comment there he is. Showy
talk about minute CD? Best of | 3:11:22 | 3:11:27 | |
British. Sony said, do want to do
another one? What I would like to do | 3:11:27 | 3:11:33 | |
is a CD of 60 tracks, all British
singers, male and female. So, | 3:11:33 | 3:11:42 | |
Shirley Bassey to Matt Munro. You
have Bruce yarmer as well. There is | 3:11:42 | 3:11:47 | |
stuff from the 50s and 60s. I
thought I need something that | 3:11:47 | 3:11:53 | |
represents about a letter strictly a
little bit. Why wouldn't you? You | 3:11:53 | 3:11:59 | |
choose the songs yourself. --
Strictly a little bit. Anton has | 3:11:59 | 3:12:10 | |
done one. Alexander whatnot. You
would not want me. | 3:12:10 | 3:12:18 | |
# enchant Some it evening.

#. What are you doing tomorrow?
Every year the judges get | 3:12:20 | 3:12:30 | |
criticised. Things they safe as they
say it is criticising individuals. | 3:12:30 | 3:12:35 | |
It is nothing to do with that. I got
terrible stick. It is the dance off. | 3:12:35 | 3:12:41 | |
It is two to one and as head judge
you have to make the decision. It is | 3:12:41 | 3:12:48 | |
as though you have done it. I got
terrible stick once. The trouble is, | 3:12:48 | 3:12:53 | |
it is a bit like the pop world.
Sometimes it is a one-hit wonder who | 3:12:53 | 3:12:59 | |
will not Elvis Presley of the top of
the charts. In a dance off, when it | 3:12:59 | 3:13:03 | |
is just one dance, you get somebody
who has not been so good but they | 3:13:03 | 3:13:08 | |
have got a dance that really suits
them, someone who is the series has | 3:13:08 | 3:13:12 | |
been brilliant and they get kicked
off and everybody goes and | 3:13:12 | 3:13:17 | |
complains. The thing with the dance
off, you have to judge that dance. | 3:13:17 | 3:13:24 | |
It is the dancing equivalent of Shut
Up Your Face. I used to love that | 3:13:24 | 3:13:31 | |
song. Partners In Rhyme is on BBC
One. | 3:13:31 | 3:13:46 | |
And his latest pick | 3:13:46 | 3:13:47 | |
of top tunes is out on Sony -
