Hello this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
A baby girl born with her heart
outside her body has survives - | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
in what's thought to
be a first in the UK. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
Doctors carry out three operations
on Venellope Wilkins to correct | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
the rare condition
that is usually fatal - | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
her parents say she's
a real fighter. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:34 | |
If you short -- saw now from where
she first is, to what I done, it is | 0:00:34 | 0:00:40 | |
a miracle. -- what they've done. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
Good morning, it's
Wednesday 13th December. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:51 | |
Also this morning, a shock defeat
for Donald Trump's favoured | 0:00:51 | 0:00:56 | |
candidate in a senatorial election -
as the Democrats claim victory | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
in Alabama for the first
time in 25 years. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Energy bills and the price of fuel
look set to rise this Christmas | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
because of problems
with the supply of oil and gas. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
I'll be taking a closer look later. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Burnley enter the Champions League
spots as they go fourth with a late | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
win at home to Stoke City. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
Is this the droid
they're looking for? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
The princes join big names and fans
for the premier of the latest | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Star Wars film. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
I think it is just a cracking good
story. Swashbuckling, goodies versus | 0:01:33 | 0:01:39 | |
baddies, that is what makes it so
great. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
And Matt has the weather. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
First, our main story. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
A baby girl, born with her heart
outside her body, has survived | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
in what's thought to
be a first in the UK. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Vanellope Hope Wilkins,
who is three weeks old, | 0:01:55 | 0:02:04 | |
has undergone three operations
at Glenfield Hospital, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
in Leicester, to place her heart
back within her chest. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Our medical correspondent
Fergus Walsh spoke exclusively | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
to Vanellope's parents
and the medical team involved. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
Good girl, yeah. Beautiful girl.
They are pride and joy. This is | 0:02:15 | 0:02:25 | |
Venellope, astounding her parents
and doctors with her progress. After | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
three operations in three weeks
heart is now back inside her chest. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
Venellope's parents say the moment
she was born they knew she was a | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
fighter. She came out kicking and
screaming. It was a beautiful | 0:02:38 | 0:02:45 | |
moment. Absolutely beautiful. If you
saw her when she was first born, to | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
where she is now, and what they've
done... It's a miracle, isn't it? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
The family knew from the first
ultrasound that Venellope's heart | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
was outside her chest. You can
clearly see its unusual position, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
which is due to the absence of a
stern or breastbone. Babies with | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
this rare condition are usually
stillborn. But immediately as she | 0:03:09 | 0:03:16 | |
emerged during the Caesarean
section, doctors could see | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
Venellope's heart was beating
strongly. Three weeks on her heart | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
is back where it should be, covered
with her own skin. Venellope is | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
going to be here for some
considerable time. The next step | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
will be getting her to breathe
without the help of a ventilator. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Then, in years to come, she faces
more surgery to create a new sternum | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
to protect her heart. She faces a
long road ahead. But has already | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
confounded predictions. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
What a truly amazing story that is.
An incredible story. We were | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
speaking to one of the dock was
involved as well, we will be talking | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
to him again later. -- doctors. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
In a major political upset
in America, Doug Jones has become | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
the first Democrat in 25 years
to win a US Senate seat for Alabama. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
But the Republican candidate,
Roy Moore, has so far refused | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
to concede the result. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
Our correspondent David Willis has
been following the story | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
from Washington. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
This has been a hard fight, hasn't
it? Give us a sense of what happened | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
and why it happen? Very much so. A
very hard fight indeed. This is a | 0:04:21 | 0:04:28 | |
stunning victory for the Democrats,
Doug Jones. His Republican rival, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:35 | |
Roy Moore, the former judge, had
enjoyed a lead in the polls even in | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
most of those polls after the
allegations of sexual assault | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
against several women had come to
light. Mr Moore dismissed the | 0:04:42 | 0:04:52 | |
allegations as but it seems they
were enough to keep many mainstream | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
conservatives in that deeply
conservative southern state away | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
from the polls. -- dismissed the
allegations as fake news, but it | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
seems. Donald Trump had backed Roy
Moore, so this result, his defeat, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
is being seen as a snub for the
President as well. It also narrows | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
the Republican majority in the
senate, potentially making it much | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
more difficult is for Mr Trump to
the violence his political agenda. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:27 | |
Roy Moore has refused to concede
defeat. He said the counting process | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
is still going on and the result is
very tight. He may decide to contest | 0:05:32 | 0:05:38 | |
it, but there is very little doubt
that even if he does, tonight | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
represents a remarkable victory for
the Democratic candidate here, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
though Jones. -- Doug Jones. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
to improve for years,
that's according to the Chief | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Inspector of Schools. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
Amanda Spielman says this includes
more than a 100 which for more | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
than a decade have never been rated
as "good" by Ofsted. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
The government says it's targeting
additional help at areas | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
that are struggling. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
Social media companies should face
fines or prosecution if they do not | 0:06:09 | 0:06:17 | |
deal with online abuse. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:18 | |
That's according to a report
from the ethics watchdog, | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
the Committee on Standards
in Public Life. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
It examined online harrassement of
MPs during June's general election. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Currently social media companies say
they cannot control the millions | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
of messages that go up. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
Theresa May is facing a potential
backbench rebellion later when MPs | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
vote on amendments to
the EU Withdrawal Bill. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
A group of Tory MPs, led by former
Attorney General Dominic Grieve, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
want to force ministers to give
Parliament a meaningful vote on any | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
final Brexit deal. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
Our political correspondent
Ben Wright is in Westminster this | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
morning. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
Good morning. And we have had some
rebellions in the past on this | 0:06:48 | 0:06:55 | |
issue. Is this one different to what
we have seen before? It is. There is | 0:06:55 | 0:07:01 | |
a good chance the government might
lose this later on in the House of | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
Commons, which is something that
hasn't happened so far. While this | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
huge piece of legislation, the EU
Withdrawal Bill, crawls its place -- | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
crawls its way through Parliament.
The government have headed off any | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
defeats in the Commons by making
concessions lately in the day, and | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
pleasing rebels, or potential
rebels, on the Tory benches, enough | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
to avoid defeat. This feels
different today. The issue we are | 0:07:24 | 0:07:30 | |
talking about is the extent to which
there will be a legally binding | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
guarantee, written into law now,
that at the end of the Brexit | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
process, MPs and peers will get a
meaningful vote on the final Brexit | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
deal. In other words, they will get
to scrutinise the deal, potentially | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
send ministers back to try to
negotiate a better one, if MPs are | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
unhappy with it, but that is the
guarantee that MPs are looking for | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
from the government. We are talking
about Labour, opposition parties, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
potentially about 20 conservative
MPs joining forces to try to defeat | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
the government on this later today.
All through the day we will see | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
bargaining and concessions and the
government trying to win over those | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
potential Tory rebels, but we will
not know until this evening whether | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
they succeed or not. It matters,
because this could determine the | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
endgame of Brexit, when we get to
Parliament in about a year 's time. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
The extent to which MP will be able
to say yes or no to the final deal. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:26 | |
-- MPs. Thank you, then. Another big
Brexit ahead. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:32 | |
The US Secretary of State,
Rex Tillerson, says America | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
is willing to hold direct talks with
North Korea without pre-conditions. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
His statement appeared to be
a change from previous demands that | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Pyongyang must end its
nuclear programme first. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
However, Mr Tillerson did say
they would only hold talks | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
if there is a period
without nuclear and missile tests. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
In North Korea, state media reported
that the country's leader, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Kim Jong-un, had vowed
to make his nation "the strongest | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
nuclear and military
power in the world". | 0:08:54 | 0:09:02 | |
Instead of being open
for passengers, Euston station | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
will welcome 200 homeless people
for lunch on Christmas Day. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
No trains will run from there
until after Boxing Day, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
instead the concourse will be filled
with volunteers from Network rail | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
and charities St Mungo's
and Streets Kitchen. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:22 | |
That is a great Christmas story.
Like something at the end of a | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
Hollywood film which would never
really happened. But it is going to | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
happen, at Euston station. There you
go. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
For Star Wars fans
the wait is nearly over. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
The eighth episode in the franchise,
the Last Jedi, gets its cinema | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
release on Thursday. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
But last night the film's stars,
including British actors | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega,
were on the red carpet in London | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
for its European premiere. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Sinali, who is doing the Sport
Today, has never seen a single | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
second of any Star Wars film. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
A warning, this report
from our entertainment | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
correspondent, Lizo Mzimba,
contains flash photography. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:03 | |
The stars of Star Wars,
cinema royalty, on the red carpet | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
with actual royalty. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
Princes William and Harry,
such fans of the saga, | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
during filming, they secretly played
cameos as stormtroopers, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
much to the excitement of the cast. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:24 | |
It was great, fantastic. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
Fantastic. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
Phenomenal. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:31 | |
And they've done an
official visit as well. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
They got in an X-wing
and all that kind of stuff. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
It was fun. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:37 | |
and everything that goes
along with it are happy. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
We always start with that. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
The Last Jedi is the ninth Star Wars
film since the saga began | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
40 years ago. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
It didn't scare me enough then. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
There's a huge degree
of expectation among fans. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
What is Star Wars to you? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Star Wars is everything, really. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
Something I've always
obviously been interested in. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
It's almost a way of life, I think. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
I think it is just a cracking good
story, it is all swashbuckling, it | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
is goodies versus that is, I think
that is what makes it so great. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
Fan power like this has driven
the franchise for 40 years | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
and is also the reason why many
expect this film to make more | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
in the final two weeks of 2017
than any other film makes | 0:11:11 | 0:11:18 | |
Looks good, doesn't it? The reviews
look amazing as well. I am | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
genuinely... It is one of my
ambitions, and life, I know that | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
this is sad. To be in Star Wars? No,
just have a full storm trooper | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
outfit.
LAUGHTER | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
. Well, if somebody hasn't brought
you a Christmas present yet... They | 0:11:33 | 0:11:39 | |
are ridiculously expensive. Well,
quite a lot goes into it. And I am | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
6-foot six. Well, I am sure...
Aren't you a little short phrase | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
storm trooper? Sorry. You know too
many lines. I am trying to educate | 0:11:49 | 0:11:55 | |
Sinali, she has never seen any of
them. It has become like a challenge | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
now, not to see it. I'm sorry. Do
you know about the whole... I was | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
too busy watching things like the
fresh Prince of LA. Fair enough. But | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
you can watch uncle Phil and Darth
Vader at the same time. I was too | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
preoccupied. Sorry. I feel like I
need to apologise. I don't feel like | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
you need to apologise, I just feel
you are missing out. It may be not. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
We can give you the DVDs for
Christmas. I have them on VHS. I can | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
dig at a VHS player somewhere. We
are not trying to shame you this | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
morning. There is nothing wrong with
that. It's fine. I should be | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
ashamed, shouldn't I? Let's talk
about the sport. Nothing in to be | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
ashamed of you. Only in the top
four. In the Champions League spots | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
now. Not a bad season at all. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Ashley Barnes scored
the only goal of the game. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
Chelsea sit one place above them
after their victory at Huddersfield | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Town. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:53 | |
Crystal Palace are out
of the bottom three for the first | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
time this season. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:57 | |
They scored twice late
on to beat a 10-man Watford. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:06 | |
England captain Joe Root says it's
time for his team to stand up ahead | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
of the crucial third
Ashes Test in Perth. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Australia lead the series 2-0
and will regain the Ashes | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
if they win this test. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
England haven't won in Perth
for nearly 40 years. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
And former heavyweight world
champion Tyson Fury says he has | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
Anthony Joshua in his sights. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:25 | |
Fury is free to box again
after accepting a retrospective | 0:13:25 | 0:13:31 | |
two-year doping ban. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
He tested positive for a banned
steroid in 2015 and accepted | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
a compromise from UK anti-doping
which means he can return | 0:13:35 | 0:13:42 | |
to the sport. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
He does have to get his licence
back. Formalities there. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:55 | |
Matt is out and about because
tonight is the peak night of... I'm | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
not sure how you say this? Geminid
meatier shower. Hundreds of shooting | 0:13:59 | 0:14:06 | |
stars, if they are clear. And you
don't need one of these to see it. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
That morning, Matthew. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
don't need one of these to see it.
That morning, Matthew. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:12 | |
Good morning. You certainly don't
need a telescope like this, it was | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
built in 1893 and is still in use
today. Good morning from the royal | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
observatory in Greenwich. Of course,
it is the peak of the Geminid | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
meatier rush-hour tonight. -- meteor
shower. Unlike last year, will me | 0:14:27 | 0:14:35 | |
have a full moon, they should be
good viewing tonight. Of course, you | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
do need the weather to see well.
There could be quite a bit of cloud | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
around at times and clear skies as
well. I will show the forecast as we | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
go through tonight, especially
eastern areas. We will tell you more | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
about the Geminid meteor shower this
morning. We could see 120 metres | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
every single hour. -- 120 meteors.
Lots of ice still around this | 0:14:55 | 0:15:02 | |
morning, not as cold as it has been.
Still chilly in some places. There | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
is ice around. A few showers. A
cloudy and gloomy start to the day | 0:15:06 | 0:15:12 | |
across the eastern half of England
in particular. We saw some overnight | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
rain clearing away. More rain by the
end of the morning rush-hour once | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
again. Further west after rain,
Amnesty and foggy start, things | 0:15:18 | 0:15:24 | |
brightening up with showers pushing
in, some on the heavy side. More | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
showers in the western parts of
Scotland at the moment. Eastern | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
areas more dry and bright to begin
the day. What you will also note is | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
across the country this morning is
that there is more of a breeze, | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
especially the further west you are
across the country. For Northern | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
Ireland, north-west England and
parts of Wales there will be heavy | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
showers through the morning. They
will rather least, followed by sunny | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
spells as well. Now, through the
morning we will see showers from | 0:15:48 | 0:15:54 | |
west to east, heavy at times, some
sleet and snow mixed with the rain | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
especially over the higher ground.
More on the way of snow in the hills | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
with showers into the afternoon as
they become that it heavier at | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
times. Dusty winds in the south-west
and the north. To pitches up on what | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
we have seen in recent days. A bit
on the cooler side, where the snow | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
is lying across central areas. Into
the evening, heavy showers to begin | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
with, pushing it. A bit of cover
over the hills. Some clear skies | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
into the night for those who are
trying to spot some meteors, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
especially in southern and eastern
parts of the country. Some gaps in | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
the cloud in the west, but the
showers keep coming, turning | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
increasingly wintry to sleet and
snow, especially over higher ground | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
at times at lower levels as well.
With clear skies in between there is | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
the risk of ice in the morning,
especially where the ground is wet. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Summery it should be a brighter day
across eastern areas. Frequent | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
showers in the west. Especially for
north-west England, Scotland and | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
Northern Ireland and into the
south-west of England. Strong and | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
gusty winds in the south and west of
the country as well. Some eastern | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
areas, only a few showers around.
Many will be dry but it will be | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
feeling colder again. Temperatures
will drop relative to today and they | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
will drop further as we go into
Friday. When swinging towards a more | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
northerly direction. That means the
north and east of Scotland and | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
north-eastern and are most likely to
see showers. Some of those will be | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
on the wintry side. To was the
south-west freak showers as well, as | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
in Northern Ireland. In between many
places will have a dry and bright | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
day on Friday but it will feel
chilly in the breeze. The breeze | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
will strengthen throughout and it
all turns into a cold start to the | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
weekend. Certainly after the clear
skies of recent nights, if you are | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
hoping to spot 80 meteors, and there
is a good chance of doing so with | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
the naked eye, you will have to just
bear with the weather a little bit. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
There will be cloud at times, but
clear spells as well. The best of | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
those clear skies will be to the
east of high ground. We'll be | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
finding out more about attempt to
make this morning, but for now, back | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
to you. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
The front pages. This story is
amazing. She was born with her heart | 0:17:58 | 0:18:04 | |
outside of her body. Doctors have
saved her and put her heart back | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
inside her body. Extraordinary. One
of the few people to live with this | 0:18:09 | 0:18:15 | |
operation. We will speak to one of
the doctors soon. She was going to | 0:18:15 | 0:18:20 | |
be born on Christmas Day, and she is
named Penelope. The Times. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:29 | |
Jean-Claude Junker brought into a
scandal over wiretapping. Facing a | 0:18:29 | 0:18:36 | |
criminal enquiry. That is the main
story. This is Daisy Ridley who | 0:18:36 | 0:18:44 | |
plays Rey in The Last Jedi. Those
are pictures from the London | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
premiere taking place in London. The
Daily Telegraph. Households and | 0:18:48 | 0:18:56 | |
motorists being told gas prices
could rise. You will talk about this | 0:18:56 | 0:19:03 | |
later. Yes. Thank you. I love this
picture. So many pictures from the | 0:19:03 | 0:19:10 | |
Star Wars premiere. The princes
inspecting the troops. Do any of you | 0:19:10 | 0:19:21 | |
use frozen items as part of your
Christmas dinner? Like peas? Frozen | 0:19:21 | 0:19:28 | |
parsnips, Yorkshire puddings,
stuffing... No. No. "No, no, no." I | 0:19:28 | 0:19:42 | |
cannot even heat up a pizza, to be
honest. What is your role? I get | 0:19:42 | 0:19:50 | |
hung over. Bake Off. Igniting a
frozen stuffing debate. And ring the | 0:19:50 | 0:20:03 | |
web giants to heel. Facebook and
Twitter helped in this campaign. The | 0:20:03 | 0:20:15 | |
major official ethics watchdog said
they were the biggest factor in | 0:20:15 | 0:20:21 | |
harassment. The Guardian. Talking
about big companies. British | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
Airways, the Royal Bank of Scotland,
Porsche, they paid corporate | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
intelligence firms to monitor
political groups challenging their | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
businesses. This is John Boyega who
was in Star Wars. Lovely. What have | 0:20:36 | 0:20:45 | |
you got? Not the best news in
business today. Prices going up, I | 0:20:45 | 0:20:51 | |
am afraid. The latest inflation
figures out yesterday. This tells | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
you how much the cost of living is
going up by. Yesterday it hit a | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
five-year high of 3.1% in November.
That is to do with food prices and | 0:21:00 | 0:21:06 | |
transport costs pushing up the price
of living. I will talk later about | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
the bills at home as well. Energy
bills and so on. They will go up. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
Always typical at this time of year.
And also fuel for your car. But to | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
counter that with a bit of fun He
news. Do you know how you can get | 0:21:21 | 0:21:31 | |
money on YouTube? This six-year-old
boy has become one of the biggest | 0:21:31 | 0:21:37 | |
earners now, making $11 million in a
year from playing with toys on | 0:21:37 | 0:21:43 | |
YouTube. So, basically, he plays
with toys... This is Ryan. He | 0:21:43 | 0:21:51 | |
reviews them. He is earning $11
million a year. Wow! Where did it | 0:21:51 | 0:21:57 | |
all go wrong? Katie Taylor the boxer
will make history tonight, to become | 0:21:57 | 0:22:04 | |
the first woman from new gum Ireland
or the UK to headline in Bethnal | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
Green. -- the UK or Ireland. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:16 | |
In the Pep Guardiola and Jose
Mourinho issue, should they | 0:22:22 | 0:22:29 | |
celebrate, debate, the Japanese art
of sumo has been brought in. You | 0:22:29 | 0:22:36 | |
never know who won because they have
such respect for each other. I love | 0:22:36 | 0:22:44 | |
that. Excellent. That is an
excellent picture. Talking about | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
Christmas. This story is
fascinating. The oldest Christmas | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
decoration you have. What is it? We
put up a picture of me and Santa | 0:22:53 | 0:23:03 | |
when I was five. It is quite
embarrassing. I have an | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
old-fashioned tree decoration. It is
like a bird. It could be from the | 0:23:06 | 0:23:12 | |
late 50s. I nearly got rid of it
yesterday. I have a dancing Santa. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:21 | |
This family have Christmas tree
lights. They got them from 1969. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:32 | |
They are still working without
having to replace a single bulb. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
They cost £3 at Woolworth's. Good
old Woolies. We all miss it. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:45 | |
Beautiful. Sorry... Why don't you
send us pictures of your old | 0:23:45 | 0:24:00 | |
Christmas tree decorations? Your
50-year-old bird. I am not 50! | 0:24:00 | 0:24:09 | |
Fraudsters. We will talk about that. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
Fraudsters target thousands
of Britons every year, | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
but banks say they have
prevented their customers | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
from losing around £9
million by working more | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
closely with local police. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:20 | |
That is just a small portion
of the total amount lost to fraud | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
every year but the new system
is helping many people to keep hold | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
of their cash. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
Simon Gompertz has been
finding out how it works. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
A Rolls-Royce. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
Some people have their heart so set
on getting one that things like this | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
are prime bait used by criminals
to get hold of your cash. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
When I came into this bit of
inheritance, I thought, right, I | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
always wanted a Rolls-Royce. It is a
dream car. They are so comfortable | 0:24:48 | 0:24:54 | |
and so easy to drive. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
Barry Fox in Essex had a lucky
escape, thanks to swift action | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
from his bank when he went
to withdraw the money to buy another | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
fictional Rolls in an eBay scam. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:04 | |
The fraudsters tried to lure him
into bringing cash to a pickup | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
in the middle of the countryside. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
What was the danger? You might have
gone bad... I might have gone there | 0:25:14 | 0:25:20 | |
with £10,000 in my pocket and have
been knocked over the head with a | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
stick or something. No car there at
all. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:29 | |
When Barry popped into his local
bank and asked for £10,000 in cash, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
there was immediate
concerned about it. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:41 | |
Now, banks often find it difficult
to explain to customers | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
that they might be being scammed,
but under the new arrangements, | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
they were able to call 999,
quote banking Protocol | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
and get a police officer around
here within half an hour. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:54 | |
While in the branch,
the police checked out the car. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
The situation just did not seem
right... It wasn't where it should | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
have been. It was registered in
Bristol. They check the business | 0:26:03 | 0:26:10 | |
details against eBay. It was the
correct business name, but the | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
contact details did not match. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:14 | |
Banks say they've stopped customers
being defrauded of £9 million | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
in a year. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
However, that is just the ones
going into branches. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
£100 million has been lost in just
six months by people unwittingly | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
paying fraudsters online. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:33 | |
This is good news for those who use
their branch. Anything the banks can | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
do to help them is good news. More
and more of us bank on line and | 0:26:37 | 0:26:43 | |
certainly have to bank on line
because bank branches are closing. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
So we want to see more done
to protect consumers | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
from being scammed online. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
Automatic, preowned. But with the
Internet still playing a big part, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
it is worth being wary if asked to
pay in cash. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
I would tell people,
if they want cash, don't buy. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
The bank-police tie-up which meant
Barry did get his dream car | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
will soon be in place
across the country. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |

Now, though, it's back
to BBC Breakfast. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:45 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,

he'll be here to explain why
Charles Dickens' classic story | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
still resonates today. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
Good morning. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:41 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:50 | |
A baby girl, born with her heart
outside her body, has survived | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
in what's thought to
be a first in the UK. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
Vanellope Hope Wilkins,
who is three weeks old, | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
has undergone three operations
at Glenfield Hospital, | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
in Leicester, to place her heart
back within her chest. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
The condition, ectopia cordis,
is extremely rare, with only a few | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
cases per million births. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:07 | |
Her parents have described
her as a fighter. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:17 | |
Doug Jones has become the first
Democrat in 25 years to wind a U.S. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
Senate seat for Alabama. It follows
a to campaign against Republican Roy | 0:32:21 | 0:32:26 | |
Moore, who has so far refused to
concede the result. -- eight bit | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
campaign. President Trump
congratulated Jones on a hardfought | 0:32:29 | 0:32:34 | |
victory. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:35 | |
There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
to improve for years,
that's according to the Chief | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
Inspector of Schools. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:43 | |
Amanda Spielman says this includes
more than a 100 which for more | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
than a decade have never been rated
as "good" by Ofsted. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
The government says it's targeting
additional help at areas that | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
are struggling. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:52 | |
Theresa May is facing a potential
backbench rebellion later when MPs | 0:32:52 | 0:32:56 | |
vote on amendments to
the EU Withdrawal Bill. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
A group of Tory MPs, led by former
Attorney General Dominic Grieve, | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
want to force ministers to give
Parliament a meaningful vote on any | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
final Brexit deal. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:05 | |
The Prime Minister has said that
ministers are listening | 0:33:05 | 0:33:07 | |
to the concerns
of Conservative MPs. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
Thousands of children
in the Democratic Republic of Congo | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
are severly malnourished
and could die within a year | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
without emergency support. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:17 | |
That's according to the United
Nations, which has declared | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
the crisis as the highest
state of emergency. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
Nearly one and a half million people
have been displaced from their homes | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
following violent clashes
that began last year. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:36 | |
Social media companies should face
fines or prosecution if they do not | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
deal with online abuse, according to
a report from the ethics watchdog. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
The committee on standards in public
life. It examined online harassment | 0:33:43 | 0:33:49 | |
following June's general election.
Currently, social media companies | 0:33:49 | 0:33:54 | |
say they cannot control the millions
of messages that go up. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
Take a listen to this. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:58 | |
PIANO MUSIC. | 0:33:58 | 0:33:59 | |
It's a world record. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:06 | |
It's the most number of people
playing a piano piece | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
at the same time. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:14 | |
20 Bosnian youngsters
have set the record | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
with the performance in Sarajevo. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
The previous record was 18 people
playing the same piece | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
simultaneously in Italy in 2014. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:32 | |
You just do not have the space, so
they have to lie on top of the | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
piano. Excellent. It on them. You
couldn't really do it with adults, | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
could you? You need those little
hands. And they were taken to much | 0:34:40 | 0:34:44 | |
space. That is how you play the
piano, in case you're wondering. You | 0:34:44 | 0:34:48 | |
couldn't do it with 20 Dan Walkers,
could you? Although you are more | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
than fully grown. I'm five foot one.
That is unfair. You are both | 0:34:52 | 0:34:58 | |
perfect, all right? Thank you. Some
people are blessed with looks and | 0:34:58 | 0:35:03 | |
height, you know what I mean. Send
us some pictures of people that are. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:10 | |
What have you got us this morning?
Are we talking about me? They are in | 0:35:10 | 0:35:16 | |
the top four after a victory at
home. The first time since 1975, | 0:35:16 | 0:35:20 | |
apart from the beginning of the
season when they played Chelsea. So | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
it is brilliant. Champions League
spots. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
The Burnley manager Sean Dyche says
football is about dreams as his side | 0:35:26 | 0:35:30 | |
move into the top four
of the Premier League after a 1-0 | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
win over Stoke City. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:34 | |
A late goal by substitute
Ashley Barnes put them | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
into the Champions League places. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
They climb above Liverpool
and Arsenal who play this evening. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:45 | |
The reality is, we've got another
tough game on Saturday. We are | 0:35:45 | 0:35:49 | |
enjoying this, of course. The
players have earned the right to | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
enjoy this. But the next game comes
quickly on Saturday and that's my | 0:35:52 | 0:35:56 | |
focus. I'm really pleased with the
lads tonight, a different way of | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
finding results and we had to work
hard for a tonight, grinding it out. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:03 | |
But Thursday, we will look to
recover, and we look to the next | 0:36:03 | 0:36:07 | |
one. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:08 | |
Reigning champions Chelsea
are the side above Burnley. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:12 | |
Their manager Antonio Conte thinks
they've got no chance | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
of retaining their title
but they easily beat Huddersfield | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
3-1 last night. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:18 | |
Pedro scored their third. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:19 | |
And Crystal Palace are out
of the bottom three for the first | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
time this season after they scored
twice in the final few minutes | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
to beat Watford. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:26 | |
Palace were a goal down
but Wilfried Zaha and James McCarthy | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
turned it around after Watford
had a man sent off. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:34 | |
There are seven games
in the Premier League tonight | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
including Swansea against league
leaders Manchester City, | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
and second place Manchester United
versus Bournemouth. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:44 | |
But United manager Jose Mourinho
spent much of his press conference | 0:36:44 | 0:36:47 | |
yesterday discussing the row
after Sunday's derby against City, | 0:36:47 | 0:36:49 | |
rather than tonight's opponents -
something he said was | 0:36:49 | 0:36:52 | |
disrespectful. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:58 | |
You don't respect them? You don't
think they are a team capable, to do | 0:36:58 | 0:37:03 | |
well? You have no respect for the
players? | 0:37:03 | 0:37:09 | |
We haven't heard the end of it, have
we? | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
England captain Joe Root says it's
time for his team to "stand up" | 0:37:13 | 0:37:17 | |
ahead of the crucial third
Ashes Test in Perth. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
Australia lead the series 2-0
and will regain the Ashes | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
if they win at the WACA,
where England haven't won | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
for nearly 40 years. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:26 | |
With problems on and off the field
Root says the pressure | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
is on the senior players. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
Whenever you get the chance to play
for England you want to stand up and | 0:37:32 | 0:37:36 | |
be counted and put in those big
promises. When it is as big a game | 0:37:36 | 0:37:41 | |
as this can senior players probably
are under more pressure than the | 0:37:41 | 0:37:45 | |
other guys. It is important that we
go out there and, I suppose, try not | 0:37:45 | 0:37:51 | |
to put too much pressure on
ourselves. But know that that | 0:37:51 | 0:37:55 | |
responsibility is there. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:56 | |
Tyson Fury is free to carry
on his boxing career after accepting | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
a backdated two-year ban for doping
He has not fought since he became | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
the world heavyweight champion
in 2015 but lost the title | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
He says he wants to | 0:38:07 | 0:38:08 | |
when he tested postive
for a banned substance, | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
something that he blamed
on eating wild boar. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
He can fight again once
he regains his boxing license. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
Johanna Konta has been speaking
for the first time since parting | 0:38:15 | 0:38:18 | |
with Wim Fisette, the coach that
oversaw the most successful period | 0:38:18 | 0:38:21 | |
in her career. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:22 | |
She'll now work with
the American Michael Joyce | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
and is excited about
the partnership. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
Obviously it is still early days. We
will see how things go. We'll see | 0:38:28 | 0:38:34 | |
how things go, here's not only
bringing a great amount of coaching | 0:38:34 | 0:38:40 | |
experience, he was also a great
player. He brings a lot of | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
experience from his playing days
which are definitely looking forward | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
to learning from. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:47 | |
The former Bath and Toulon boss
Mike Ford has emerged as an early | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
contender to replace Jim Mallinder
after Northampton Saints sacked him | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
as their director of rugby. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:54 | |
Mallinder was in charge for over ten
years making him the longest serving | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
top flight boss, a period which saw
them win the Premiership | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
and European double in 2014. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:02 | |
But the board decided to make
a change after Saints' loss | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
to Ospreys last weekend. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:11 | |
A few of you might have had to get
the spades out to deal | 0:39:11 | 0:39:15 | |
with the snow. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:16 | |
Well, down at non-league Hereford
they've been using them to make | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
sure their FA Cup replay
against Fleetwood Town goes | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
ahead tomorrow night. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:22 | |
The winners play Premier League
Leicester so it's a big game | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
and fans have been taking
on the elements to keep it on. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
Here are the results. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:32 | |
Doug Jones has become the first
Democrat in 25 years to win a US | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
Senate seat for Alabama
after a bitter campaign | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
against Republican Roy Moore. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:39 | |
The 63-year-old former prosecutor's
victory is a major political upset | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
for President Trump. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:43 | |
Joining us from Washington now
is the American political analyst | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
Eric Ham. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:52 | |
Always great to have you on the
programme. Thank you for coming on. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:57 | |
How is this victory for Mr Jones,
how has it gone down? This is | 0:39:57 | 0:40:02 | |
actually a seismic sea change that
we are seeing. We are looking at one | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
of the most red states in the United
dates. Alabama is a deep red state | 0:40:06 | 0:40:10 | |
in the south. Actually, we have not
seen a Democrat wind at the national | 0:40:10 | 0:40:15 | |
level in more than 25 years. -- seen
a Democrat win. So it looks like we | 0:40:15 | 0:40:22 | |
are seeing a chink in the armour of
President Trump. We know that he is | 0:40:22 | 0:40:26 | |
always talking about his base being
a loyal base, that he could go out | 0:40:26 | 0:40:31 | |
and shoot somebody on the streets of
New York. And they would still be | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
with him. But tonight, it seems as
though his base just simply was not | 0:40:35 | 0:40:41 | |
there, and we actually got a
Democrat who was elected. So it is | 0:40:41 | 0:40:46 | |
almost like David slaying Goliath.
This was something that many people | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
didn't think would happen. Even the
Democratic Party was in shambles in | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
the state. They didn't have the
infrastructure. Doug Jones was able | 0:40:53 | 0:40:57 | |
to actually build this and actually
build the infrastructure. We saw a | 0:40:57 | 0:41:02 | |
turnout greater than even what
President Barack Obama got from the | 0:41:02 | 0:41:06 | |
black vote. This was a seismic sea
change for the Democrats. A major | 0:41:06 | 0:41:11 | |
loss and a huge embarrassment, but
the Donald Trump, but also for Steve | 0:41:11 | 0:41:16 | |
Bannon, his former adviser. Was it a
nasty campaign? Quite a fuse blows | 0:41:16 | 0:41:21 | |
being thrown around, would there? --
quite a few slurs. It was nasty in | 0:41:21 | 0:41:32 | |
the sense that the allegations being
thrown around about Roy what the | 0:41:32 | 0:41:37 | |
bad, but don't Jones ran a campaign
where he focused on the issues. In | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
fact, if you listen to his victory
speech tonight, he didn't mention | 0:41:41 | 0:41:47 | |
Roy Moore at all and he didn't even
mention Donald Trump. He actually | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
focused on bread-and-butter issues,
issues that would be of importance | 0:41:50 | 0:41:55 | |
to the African-American community,
and largely to women, two major | 0:41:55 | 0:42:00 | |
constituent groups which actually
catapulted him to the tree. I think | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
what you are going to see as a
blueprint for how Democrats will | 0:42:04 | 0:42:08 | |
look to compete going into 2010. Do
you think, Eric, given what you have | 0:42:08 | 0:42:14 | |
said about how Doug Jones won this
talking about local issues, for | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
those in Alabama, do you think many
people would say, hang on, this was | 0:42:18 | 0:42:22 | |
a national vote, and might do that
in correctly? I do believe that | 0:42:22 | 0:42:29 | |
while this was a local race, I do
think it became nationalised. I | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
think it is because of the Donald
Trump effect. Donald Trump is a | 0:42:33 | 0:42:39 | |
larger-than-life personality and I
think many will who would have | 0:42:39 | 0:42:43 | |
perhaps voted for Doug Jones were
voting as a sort of rebuke to Donald | 0:42:43 | 0:42:49 | |
Trump. And of course there were
those, especially if you look at the | 0:42:49 | 0:42:54 | |
rioting -- the write-in candidate,
that was an unusually high number. | 0:42:54 | 0:43:04 | |
It was more than a marginal victory
for Doug Jones. I do believe there | 0:43:04 | 0:43:09 | |
were those who are simply not
comfortable with the accusations of | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
paedophilia with Roy Moore, but
also, I think, with those who | 0:43:12 | 0:43:17 | |
supported Doug Jones, they were
actually in support of the Democrats | 0:43:17 | 0:43:21 | |
and were looking to send a message
both to Washington and more | 0:43:21 | 0:43:26 | |
importantly to Donald Trump. Eric,
great to talk to you. That was about | 0:43:26 | 0:43:32 | |
how Doug Jones has become the first
Democrat in a quarter of a century | 0:43:32 | 0:43:38 | |
to be nominated as these senator in
Alabama. Now, stargazers, if it is | 0:43:38 | 0:43:46 | |
clear tonight, should be able to see
hundreds of shooting stars in the | 0:43:46 | 0:43:49 | |
sky is tonight, in the Geminid
meteor shower, which will be | 0:43:49 | 0:43:53 | |
reaching its peak. Matthew is that
the royal observatory in Greenwich | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
this morning to tell us about it.
Good morning. | 0:43:56 | 0:43:59 | |
We are in the telescope dome. If you
want to see the meteor showers, you | 0:44:06 | 0:44:15 | |
will not need this. You would just
need clear skies. What are the | 0:44:15 | 0:44:34 | |
Geminid Meteors? They are debris
from a passing asteroid, which | 0:44:34 | 0:44:37 | |
passes the Earth every 1.4 years. As
they vaporise, they light up the | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
sky. You could see anything between
50 - 100 meteors every hour. Be just | 0:44:40 | 0:44:47 | |
need clear skies. | 0:44:47 | 0:44:48 | |
50 - 100 meteors every hour. Be just
need clear skies. I cannot promise | 0:44:48 | 0:44:49 | |
that for everyone. The best chance
is in eastern areas. Today's | 0:44:49 | 0:44:56 | |
weather. And icy start. Not as cold
as it has been in recent days. If we | 0:44:56 | 0:45:07 | |
take a look at what is happening
this morning, many parts of the east | 0:45:07 | 0:45:11 | |
will be dry, quite messy and murky
in a few spots. Showers pushing in. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:20 | |
Showers more frequent in north-west
England this morning. Heading across | 0:45:20 | 0:45:24 | |
the Pennines by nine o'clock. Many
showers in central and western parts | 0:45:24 | 0:45:28 | |
of Scotland. Some of them on the
wintry side. Rain and showers in | 0:45:28 | 0:45:32 | |
western areas this morning for most
of you rather than snow. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:37 | |
Temperatures lifting. Breezy in
northern and western areas this | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
morning. Making things chilly.
Temperatures in the south-west, 11 | 0:45:40 | 0:45:48 | |
degrees. A bit of patchy rain in the
Midlands in central and southern | 0:45:48 | 0:45:52 | |
England. Temperatures only a few
degrees above freezing this morning | 0:45:52 | 0:45:55 | |
compared to the double digits we
have seen further west. To go | 0:45:55 | 0:45:58 | |
through the rest of the day, showers
pushing from west to east. Some | 0:45:58 | 0:46:03 | |
heavy. Sunshine in between. Lively
downpours and squally winds. Pushing | 0:46:03 | 0:46:11 | |
towards the south-east for the
evening rush-hour. With that, snow | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
on the higher ground. Showers north
and west getting wintry. For most, | 0:46:15 | 0:46:21 | |
temperatures more high than
recently. Tonight, eastern areas | 0:46:21 | 0:46:29 | |
best favoured for the clear skies.
Evening showers. Showers continuing | 0:46:29 | 0:46:34 | |
for western areas through the night.
Turning to sleet and snow. Not just | 0:46:34 | 0:46:40 | |
on the hills, but lower levels as
well. The air, Thursday, a touch of | 0:46:40 | 0:46:48 | |
frost. Eastern areas tomorrow, dry
and bright. More sunshine around. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:55 | |
Showers most frequently in the west.
Windy asked towards Wales in | 0:46:55 | 0:46:59 | |
south-west England as well as the
English Channel. -- winds heaviest. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:05 | |
Going back towards a northerly
direction on Friday. Today is a | 0:47:05 | 0:47:11 | |
slightly less cold day, but cold
weather is not far away. A mixture | 0:47:11 | 0:47:16 | |
of rain and sleet and hail and snow.
On Friday, most will have a dry day. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:24 | |
A frosty night will follow. The
weekend starts cold but bright for | 0:47:24 | 0:47:29 | |
many. That is how the weather is
looking. A quick fact. The dome here | 0:47:29 | 0:47:36 | |
is actually made from aluminium now,
but originally was instructed | 0:47:36 | 0:47:42 | |
believe it or not from papier-mache.
What a fact! See you later. Please | 0:47:42 | 0:47:59 | |
address all facts to Louise. | 0:47:59 | 0:48:02 | |
All this week we've been finding out
why singing is good for the soul | 0:48:02 | 0:48:05 | |
and asking why we all love
a sing-a-long for our BBC | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
Breakfast Sings series,
and now the spotlight is on us. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:09 | |
Breakfast Sings series,
and now the spotlight is on us. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:11 | |
Dan, Lou, Naga, Charlie, Steph,
Mike, and me will take centre stage | 0:48:11 | 0:48:14 | |
at Manchester's Bridgewater Hotel
tonight to sing a Christmas classic. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:17 | |
Right now we have no idea what we'll
be singing and won't find out | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
until after today's
programme has finished. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:29 | |
No, sorry, Bridgewater Hall. I'll go
to the hotel, you have the hall. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:32 | |
We've been attemtping to hit those
high notes with the help | 0:48:32 | 0:48:35 | |
of the Choirmaster himself,
Wayne Ellington from | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
Manchester Inspirational Voices. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:38 | |
This is your BBC Breakfast
choir group in action. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:40 | |
I am very nervous. We have been
attempting very hard. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:50 | |
Sing... Good. If anyone can help us,
this is the man. OK... Is a little | 0:48:54 | 0:49:04 | |
bit nervous... La, la, la. I am
enthusiastic but nervous. Ahh. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:22 | |
The challenge is to sing with the
choir. I will be hiding at the back. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:36 | |
He will be right at the front with
everyone looking at you. I will sing | 0:49:36 | 0:49:42 | |
and you follow me. Ding, dong,
merrily on high... Away in a manger. | 0:49:42 | 0:50:01 | |
..And angels singing. Have yourself
a merry little Christmas. The wrong | 0:50:01 | 0:50:12 | |
note! Oh, OK. Little donkey, little
donkey... Mary, did you know that | 0:50:12 | 0:50:28 | |
your baby boy... I am worried. You
will be fine. You will be fine. Baby | 0:50:28 | 0:50:34 | |
boy... I cannot sing unless I am
denting. So I am like "On a dusty | 0:50:34 | 0:50:44 | |
road!" Take a deep breath in for
me... And breathe out. Yes! One line | 0:50:44 | 0:51:00 | |
down! No crib for a bed. Perfect.
You'll be fine, absolutely fine. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:10 | |
Yeah! Perfect! Perfect! You will be
great. Thank you. Wonderful! I can | 0:51:10 | 0:51:19 | |
sit down and relax the pillock
Cheers. See you on the big night. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:25 | |
I knew it would be bad. My worst
fears were confirmed. Mike. He is | 0:51:34 | 0:51:43 | |
brilliant! You were also good. Small
steps. Anyway, little donkey, what | 0:51:43 | 0:51:55 | |
have you got for us? I have been
practising that so much. Had are | 0:51:55 | 0:51:59 | |
you? Only because I feel like the
challenge is on. -- have you. You | 0:51:59 | 0:52:05 | |
need to sing and dance at the same
time? I have a terrible cough just | 0:52:05 | 0:52:13 | |
about to happen. You and I both. And
now, the energy crisis. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:20 | |
It's all to do with supply. | 0:52:20 | 0:52:22 | |
Let's take petrol and diesel first. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:24 | |
The issue is that a crucial pipeline
in Scotland is going to have | 0:52:24 | 0:52:27 | |
to close for up to three
weeks for repairs. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:30 | |
That's longer than was originally
expected and caused an immediate | 0:52:30 | 0:52:32 | |
spike in the oil price. | 0:52:32 | 0:52:46 | |
It is expected to go up another 2p
at Christmas. This was yesterday. A | 0:52:46 | 0:52:56 | |
processing industry in Austria
suffered a catastrophic explosion. | 0:52:56 | 0:53:00 | |
Tragically, one person was killed in
that explosion and dozens injured. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:05 | |
That facility is one of the main
entry points for Russian gas into | 0:53:05 | 0:53:10 | |
Europe. The supply of gas has now
been affected by this. What does | 0:53:10 | 0:53:14 | |
this mean? | 0:53:14 | 0:53:15 | |
Steve Irwin is from
the Portland Fuel Consultancy. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:17 | |
Good morning. Good morning. Let's go
back to the beginning of the first | 0:53:17 | 0:53:22 | |
graph we saw. Petrol prices. A bit
of a drop at the beginning. It is | 0:53:22 | 0:53:29 | |
going up now. Why is that? The end
of November, they decided to | 0:53:29 | 0:53:34 | |
continue with the output production
cuts through to the end of 2018, | 0:53:34 | 0:53:39 | |
next year. That started pushing up
prices. 30- 40%. Just explained, | 0:53:39 | 0:53:54 | |
OPEC, the oil-producing exporters.
They produce the Daugherty. Yes. -- | 0:53:54 | 0:54:01 | |
the majority. The market was
oversupplied. But it has pushed up | 0:54:01 | 0:54:06 | |
prices. This issue with the pipeline
means supply is limited from the | 0:54:06 | 0:54:11 | |
North Sea which is where we get the
Brent Crude prices. That determines | 0:54:11 | 0:54:18 | |
prices. When we see that price go
up, it means inevitably it will feed | 0:54:18 | 0:54:23 | |
into what we are paying at the
pumps. Inevitably, yes. We already | 0:54:23 | 0:54:29 | |
saw a rise because of OPEC in
November. That will filter through | 0:54:29 | 0:54:33 | |
over the next few weeks. The
pipeline issue will add around | 0:54:33 | 0:54:37 | |
another penny. On that point about
OPEC and why they limit supply, this | 0:54:37 | 0:54:44 | |
is because they want the price to go
up. Yes. They are producing it, so | 0:54:44 | 0:54:49 | |
the more money they get, the more
money they make. The US has started | 0:54:49 | 0:54:54 | |
producing a lot of oil through shale
fracking wells they have dug, which | 0:54:54 | 0:55:00 | |
brought that supply onto the market.
OPEC were taking some production off | 0:55:00 | 0:55:04 | |
to balance that which led to the
prices rising this year quite | 0:55:04 | 0:55:08 | |
substantially, over 20%. That is
what is going on with oil what about | 0:55:08 | 0:55:13 | |
gas and what is happening? A rise in
wholesale gas and how much the | 0:55:13 | 0:55:19 | |
energy companies are paying for it.
Yeah. This will not affect | 0:55:19 | 0:55:22 | |
electricity prices. Not immediately
in the retail market, at least. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:31 | |
Hopefully, this will be a short-term
event. A gas facility had an | 0:55:31 | 0:55:39 | |
explosion, as you mentioned. That
provides a lot of gas to Italy. It | 0:55:39 | 0:55:43 | |
is affecting the Italian market more
than the UK, but it will temporarily | 0:55:43 | 0:55:47 | |
affect utilities and little bit
until it is up and running again. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:53 | |
--A little bit. At this time of year
it feels everything goes up. It | 0:55:53 | 0:55:58 | |
certainly. It is bad news right
before Christmas. Oil price rises | 0:55:58 | 0:56:04 | |
will feed into the pumps around
Christmas with people having other | 0:56:04 | 0:56:08 | |
events going on. Thank you. Can you
sing, by the way? No. Don't worry, I | 0:56:08 | 0:56:15 | |
will not make you sing little
donkey. Thank you. My cough is back. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:27 | |
She is definitely thinking of
pulling out. The nation does not | 0:56:27 | 0:56:32 | |
need to have me singing. You cannot
be good at everything, Lou! I don't | 0:56:32 | 0:56:38 | |
want to! People are saying they are
laughing on their sofas this | 0:56:38 | 0:56:46 | |
morning. Perhaps I have to take
that... I would rather swim with | 0:56:46 | 0:56:50 | |
jellyfish! We will be fine! We will
laugh it out. You cannot pull out. | 0:56:50 | 0:57:02 | |
You told everyone you will be there!
No fake coughing! We were talking | 0:57:02 | 0:57:09 | |
about man flu yesterday. And now for
the | 0:57:09 | 1:00:34 | |
I'm back with the latest
from the BBC London Newsroom | 1:00:34 | 1:00:37 | |
in half an hour. | 1:00:37 | 1:00:39 | |
Hello this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:41 | |
A baby girl born with her heart
outside her body has survived - | 1:00:41 | 1:00:45 | |
in what's thought to
be a first in the UK. | 1:00:45 | 1:00:48 | |
Doctors carry out three operations
on Venellope Wilkins to correct | 1:00:48 | 1:00:50 | |
the rare condition
that is usually fatal - | 1:00:50 | 1:00:53 | |
her parents say she's
a real fighter. | 1:00:53 | 1:01:01 | |
If you saw her when she was first
born to where showers now and what | 1:01:01 | 1:01:05 | |
they have done... Beyond a miracle,
isn't it? | 1:01:05 | 1:01:10 | |
Good morning, it's
Wednesday 13th December. | 1:01:17 | 1:01:20 | |
Also this morning, a shock defeat
for Donald Trump's favoured | 1:01:20 | 1:01:23 | |
candidate in a senatorial election -
as the Democrats claim victory | 1:01:23 | 1:01:26 | |
in Alabama for the first time | 1:01:26 | 1:01:27 | |
in 25 years. | 1:01:27 | 1:01:28 | |
The water regulator Ofwat
is about to reveal how | 1:01:28 | 1:01:31 | |
much our water bills can
go up by after 2020 - | 1:01:31 | 1:01:34 | |
and it's going to say they'll rise
below the rate of inflation. | 1:01:34 | 1:01:41 | |
I'll have all the details later. | 1:01:41 | 1:01:45 | |
Good morning. | 1:01:45 | 1:01:51 | |
Burnley move up to fourth place in
the Premier League after a late win | 1:01:51 | 1:01:55 | |
at home to Stoke City. | 1:01:55 | 1:01:57 | |
Is this the droid they're looking
for - the Princes join big names | 1:01:57 | 1:02:01 | |
and fans for the premier
of the latest Star Wars Film | 1:02:01 | 1:02:04 | |
I think it's just
a cracking good story. | 1:02:04 | 1:02:06 | |
It's swashbuckling, it's
goodies versus baddies, | 1:02:06 | 1:02:07 | |
that's what makes it so great. | 1:02:07 | 1:02:12 | |
And Matt has the weather. | 1:02:12 | 1:02:16 | |
Good morning. I am talking about
stars as well, at shooting stars. | 1:02:16 | 1:02:24 | |
The Geminid meteors are peaking in
the skies above us. Will you be able | 1:02:24 | 1:02:29 | |
to see them? And I have the forecast
for today, the warmest day of the | 1:02:29 | 1:02:33 | |
week. Plenty of showers around but a
bit of sleet and snow later. | 1:02:33 | 1:02:37 | |
Good morning. | 1:02:37 | 1:02:37 | |
First, our main story. | 1:02:37 | 1:02:38 | |
In what's thought to be a first
for doctors in the UK, | 1:02:38 | 1:02:42 | |
a baby girl has survived
after being born with her heart | 1:02:42 | 1:02:45 | |
outside her body.
Vanellope Hope Wilkins, | 1:02:45 | 1:02:46 | |
who has no breastbone,
was delivered three weeks ago | 1:02:46 | 1:02:49 | |
by Caesarean section. | 1:02:49 | 1:02:56 | |
She has had three operations
to place her heart back in her chest | 1:02:56 | 1:03:00 | |
at Glenfield Hospital, in Leicester. | 1:03:00 | 1:03:02 | |
Our medical correspondent,
Fergus Walsh, spoke exclusively | 1:03:02 | 1:03:04 | |
to Vanellope's parents
and the medical team involved. | 1:03:04 | 1:03:06 | |
Good girl, yeah. | 1:03:06 | 1:03:07 | |
Beautiful girl. | 1:03:07 | 1:03:08 | |
Their pride and joy. | 1:03:08 | 1:03:09 | |
This is Venellope, astounding
her parents and doctors | 1:03:09 | 1:03:11 | |
with her progress. | 1:03:11 | 1:03:12 | |
After three operations in three
weeks, her heart is now back | 1:03:12 | 1:03:18 | |
inside her chest. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:23 | |
Venellope's parents say the moment
she was born they knew | 1:03:23 | 1:03:25 | |
she was a fighter. | 1:03:25 | 1:03:29 | |
She came out kicking and screaming. | 1:03:29 | 1:03:31 | |
It was a beautiful moment. | 1:03:31 | 1:03:32 | |
Absolutely beautiful. | 1:03:32 | 1:03:33 | |
If you saw her when she was first
born, to where she is now, | 1:03:33 | 1:03:37 | |
and what they've done... | 1:03:37 | 1:03:38 | |
It's a miracle, isn't it? | 1:03:38 | 1:03:43 | |
The family knew from the first
ultrasound that Venellope's heart | 1:03:43 | 1:03:46 | |
was outside her chest. | 1:03:46 | 1:03:47 | |
You can clearly see its unusual
position, which is due | 1:03:47 | 1:03:49 | |
to the absence of a
sternum or breastbone. | 1:03:49 | 1:03:52 | |
Babies with this rare condition
are usually stillborn. | 1:03:52 | 1:03:54 | |
But immediately as she emerged
during the Caesarean section, | 1:03:54 | 1:04:02 | |
doctors could see Venellope's heart
was beating strongly. | 1:04:02 | 1:04:05 | |
Three weeks on, her heart
is back where it should be, | 1:04:05 | 1:04:08 | |
covered with her own skin. | 1:04:08 | 1:04:09 | |
Venellope is going to be
here for some considerable time. | 1:04:09 | 1:04:18 | |
The next step will be
getting her to breathe | 1:04:18 | 1:04:21 | |
without the help of a ventilator. | 1:04:21 | 1:04:22 | |
Then, in years to come,
she faces more surgery to create | 1:04:22 | 1:04:25 | |
a new sternum to protect her heart. | 1:04:25 | 1:04:27 | |
She faces a long road ahead. | 1:04:27 | 1:04:29 | |
But has already
confounded predictions. | 1:04:29 | 1:04:45 | |
An amazing story. | 1:04:45 | 1:04:46 | |
We'll speak to one of the
consultants from Glenfield Hospital | 1:04:46 | 1:04:49 | |
who has been treating
Vanellope at just after 7:30. | 1:04:49 | 1:04:57 | |
In a major political upset
in America, Doug Jones has become | 1:04:57 | 1:05:00 | |
the first Democrat in 25 years
to win a US Senate seat for Alabama. | 1:05:00 | 1:05:04 | |
It follows a bitter campaign
against Republican Roy Moore, | 1:05:04 | 1:05:06 | |
who has so far refused
to concede the result. | 1:05:06 | 1:05:09 | |
President Donald Trump congratulated
Doug Jones on a hard fought | 1:05:09 | 1:05:11 | |
victory. | 1:05:11 | 1:05:14 | |
There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 1:05:14 | 1:05:15 | |
A stunning victory for the Democrat
Doug Jones. His Republican rival, | 1:05:18 | 1:05:23 | |
Roy Moore, a former judge, enjoyed a
lead in the polls, even after the | 1:05:23 | 1:05:30 | |
allegations of sexual assault
against several women had come to | 1:05:30 | 1:05:32 | |
light. Roy Moore dismissed those
allegations as fake news, but it | 1:05:32 | 1:05:41 | |
seems they were enough to keep many
mainstream conservatives there in | 1:05:41 | 1:05:49 | |
the deeply conservative southern
state away from the polls. Donald | 1:05:49 | 1:05:51 | |
Trump had himself back Roy Moore, so
this result, the defeat of Roy | 1:05:51 | 1:05:56 | |
Moore, is being seen as a snub for
the President as well. It also | 1:05:56 | 1:06:03 | |
narrows the Republican majority in
the senate. Potentially making it | 1:06:03 | 1:06:06 | |
much more difficult for Mr Trump to
advance his political agenda. Roy | 1:06:06 | 1:06:14 | |
Moore, I might add, has refused to
concede defeat. He said the counting | 1:06:14 | 1:06:20 | |
process is still going on and the
result is very tight. He may decide | 1:06:20 | 1:06:24 | |
to contest it but there is very
little doubt that even if he does, | 1:06:24 | 1:06:28 | |
tonight represents a remarkable
victory for the Democratic candidate | 1:06:28 | 1:06:32 | |
here, Doug Jones. | 1:06:32 | 1:06:34 | |
There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 1:06:34 | 1:06:37 | |
to improve for years,
that's according to the Chief | 1:06:37 | 1:06:40 | |
Inspector of Schools. | 1:06:40 | 1:06:48 | |
The government says it's targeting
additional help at areas | 1:06:48 | 1:06:49 | |
that are struggling. | 1:06:49 | 1:06:54 | |
Good afternoon. So this is English?
Children at St. Peter's secondary | 1:06:54 | 1:07:00 | |
school in Huntington in
Cambridgeshire. In 2016, said judged | 1:07:00 | 1:07:05 | |
the school in adequate in some areas
and it was put on special measures | 1:07:05 | 1:07:09 | |
after years of problems. 18 months
on, it has been turned around and is | 1:07:09 | 1:07:15 | |
now ranked as good in most fields.
Amanda Spratt Edelman, Ofsted's | 1:07:15 | 1:07:20 | |
Chief inspector of schools in
England, visited St Peters this | 1:07:20 | 1:07:24 | |
month and is full of praise for what
has been achieved. -- Amanda | 1:07:24 | 1:07:27 | |
Spiegelman. But not all schools do
so well. Ofsted says there are 50 | 1:07:27 | 1:07:31 | |
second schools and 80 prime whistles
in inward which have not been judged | 1:07:31 | 1:07:37 | |
to be good at any point since 2005.
-- primary schools in inward. For 12 | 1:07:37 | 1:07:43 | |
years they have not been good at any
point in that. A child typically | 1:07:43 | 1:07:47 | |
spends five years in secondary
school. So we are onto a third | 1:07:47 | 1:07:51 | |
generation in those schools who have
never experienced being good school, | 1:07:51 | 1:07:54 | |
we shouldn't be happy with that. But
the teachers unions say that the | 1:07:54 | 1:07:58 | |
stigma of about Ofsted report can
often push as -- a school into a | 1:07:58 | 1:08:03 | |
negative spiral, where parents do
not want to send their children | 1:08:03 | 1:08:06 | |
there and the recruitment of
teachers becomes hard. They also say | 1:08:06 | 1:08:09 | |
many schools are underfunded. The
government says it is spending £280 | 1:08:09 | 1:08:13 | |
million to get extra help to schools
in designated extra opportunity | 1:08:13 | 1:08:20 | |
areas, including providing extra
training for teachers. | 1:08:20 | 1:08:24 | |
Theresa May is facing a potential
backbench rebellion later when MPs | 1:08:24 | 1:08:27 | |
vote on amendments to
the EU Withdrawal Bill. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:30 | |
A group of Tory MPs, led by former
Attorney General Dominic Grieve, | 1:08:30 | 1:08:33 | |
want to force ministers to give
Parliament a meaningful vote on any | 1:08:33 | 1:08:36 | |
final Brexit deal. | 1:08:36 | 1:08:37 | |
Our political correspondent
Ben Wright is in Westminster this | 1:08:37 | 1:08:39 | |
morning. | 1:08:39 | 1:08:45 | |
It seems that when we talk about
rebellions, and we have done that | 1:08:45 | 1:08:49 | |
lots, this is a significant one.
Potentially, yes. It is all about | 1:08:49 | 1:08:53 | |
the numbers. The Tories do not have
a majority in the house of common so | 1:08:53 | 1:08:58 | |
it only takes a few Conservative MPs
to join labour in a vote for the | 1:08:58 | 1:09:02 | |
government to be defeated. So far
that has not happened to Theresa May | 1:09:02 | 1:09:06 | |
because ministers have been good at
offering concessions at dicey | 1:09:06 | 1:09:08 | |
moments and swerving away from
trouble and potential rebellions and | 1:09:08 | 1:09:12 | |
defeat. But today might be
different. The issue, of course, is | 1:09:12 | 1:09:17 | |
Brexit. The fundamental question of
what role Parliament should have, | 1:09:17 | 1:09:24 | |
once the negotiations are done in
about a year's time, in shaping the | 1:09:24 | 1:09:28 | |
final Brexit deal. Labour,
opposition parties, and crucially, | 1:09:28 | 1:09:33 | |
about 20 Tory MPs, are insisting
that they now want a legally binding | 1:09:33 | 1:09:37 | |
guarantee that Parliament will have
a meaningful vote at the end of that | 1:09:37 | 1:09:41 | |
whole process, and be able to shape
and approve the terms of the final | 1:09:41 | 1:09:45 | |
Brexit deal. That is what is at
stake today and throughout the day | 1:09:45 | 1:09:50 | |
the government will be trying hard
to persuade Tory MPs not to rebel, | 1:09:50 | 1:09:54 | |
not to vote with Labour, and already
David Davis, the Brexit secretary, | 1:09:54 | 1:09:58 | |
has written to all Tory MPs this
morning insisting they have already | 1:09:58 | 1:10:01 | |
promised there will be a vote on the
final deal as soon as negotiations | 1:10:01 | 1:10:05 | |
are over. Will it be enough? We'll
find out this evening. A defeat for | 1:10:05 | 1:10:11 | |
the government would be absolutely
massive, a very big blow. | 1:10:11 | 1:10:19 | |
Social media companies should face
fines or prosecution if they do not | 1:10:19 | 1:10:23 | |
deal with online abuse. This is
according to a report from the | 1:10:23 | 1:10:26 | |
ethics watchdog, the committee on
standards in Public life. It | 1:10:26 | 1:10:29 | |
examined online harassment of MPs
during June's general election. | 1:10:29 | 1:10:34 | |
Currently, social media companies
say they cannot control the millions | 1:10:34 | 1:10:36 | |
of messages that are going up. | 1:10:36 | 1:10:41 | |
Instead of being open
for passengers, Euston station | 1:10:41 | 1:10:43 | |
will welcome 200 homeless people
for lunch on Christmas Day. | 1:10:43 | 1:10:45 | |
No trains will run from there
until after Boxing Day, | 1:10:45 | 1:10:48 | |
instead the concourse will be filled
with volunteers from Network rail | 1:10:48 | 1:10:51 | |
and charities St Mungo's
and Streets Kitchen. | 1:10:51 | 1:10:59 | |
Quite a change from the normal
atmosphere, when everybody is | 1:10:59 | 1:11:03 | |
waiting anxiously from the train,
staring at those screens. The | 1:11:03 | 1:11:06 | |
platform goes up and everybody makes
a dash for it. It will be completely | 1:11:06 | 1:11:10 | |
different. Didn't stay a film that
scene from Born? Or is that at | 1:11:10 | 1:11:16 | |
Waterloo? I will have to check. | 1:11:16 | 1:11:17 | |
For Star Wars fans
the wait is nearly over. | 1:11:17 | 1:11:20 | |
The eighth episode in the franchise,
the Last Jedi, gets its cinema | 1:11:20 | 1:11:23 | |
release at midnight tonight. | 1:11:23 | 1:11:24 | |
But last night the film's stars,
including British actors | 1:11:24 | 1:11:27 | |
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega,
were on the red carpet in London | 1:11:27 | 1:11:30 | |
for its European premiere. | 1:11:30 | 1:11:37 | |
A warning, this report
from our entertainment | 1:11:37 | 1:11:39 | |
correspondent, Lizo Mzimba,
contains flash photography. | 1:11:39 | 1:11:41 | |
The stars of Star Wars,
cinema royalty, on the red carpet | 1:11:41 | 1:11:43 | |
with actual royalty. | 1:11:43 | 1:11:45 | |
Princes William and Harry,
such fans of the saga, | 1:11:45 | 1:11:49 | |
during filming, they secretly played
cameos as stormtroopers, | 1:11:49 | 1:11:51 | |
much to the excitement of the cast. | 1:11:51 | 1:11:58 | |
It was great, fantastic. | 1:11:58 | 1:11:59 | |
Fantastic. | 1:11:59 | 1:12:00 | |
Phenomenal. | 1:12:00 | 1:12:00 | |
And they've done an
official visit as well. | 1:12:00 | 1:12:02 | |
They got in an X-wing
and all that kind of stuff. | 1:12:02 | 1:12:05 | |
It was fun. | 1:12:05 | 1:12:08 | |
and everything that goes
along with it are happy. | 1:12:08 | 1:12:10 | |
We always start with that. | 1:12:10 | 1:12:14 | |
The Last Jedi is the ninth Star Wars
film since the saga began | 1:12:14 | 1:12:18 | |
40 years ago. | 1:12:18 | 1:12:18 | |
It didn't scare me enough then. | 1:12:18 | 1:12:20 | |
There's a huge degree
of expectation among fans. | 1:12:20 | 1:12:22 | |
What is Star Wars to you? | 1:12:22 | 1:12:24 | |
Star Wars is everything, really. | 1:12:24 | 1:12:25 | |
Something I've always
obviously been interested in. | 1:12:25 | 1:12:27 | |
It's almost a way of life, I think. | 1:12:27 | 1:12:29 | |
I think it is just a cracking good
story. It is also a buck in, goodies | 1:12:29 | 1:12:35 | |
versus baddies, I think that is what
makes it so great. -- it is all | 1:12:35 | 1:12:39 | |
swashbuckling. | 1:12:39 | 1:12:39 | |
Fan power like this has driven
the franchise for 40 years | 1:12:39 | 1:12:42 | |
and is also the reason why many
expect this film to make more | 1:12:42 | 1:12:46 | |
in the final two weeks of 2017
than any other film makes | 1:12:46 | 1:12:49 | |
in the entirety of this year. | 1:12:49 | 1:12:51 | |
Lizo Mzimba, BBC News. | 1:12:51 | 1:12:52 | |
That is great. You are right about
Born, I checked. It was Waterloo. I | 1:12:52 | 1:12:59 | |
can see it in my memory. Good film
knowledge. | 1:12:59 | 1:13:03 | |
England's top nurse is warning
that the freezing temperatures we've | 1:13:03 | 1:13:05 | |
seen this week pose
a lethal risk for people | 1:13:05 | 1:13:08 | |
who are suffering loneliness. | 1:13:08 | 1:13:09 | |
Professor Jane Cummings
is the Chief Nursing Officer for | 1:13:09 | 1:13:11 | |
England. | 1:13:11 | 1:13:15 | |
She says we can all help to keep
vulnerable people safe this winter | 1:13:15 | 1:13:18 | |
and joins us now. | 1:13:18 | 1:13:23 | |
We are talking about the cold and
also loneliness. Tell us about cold | 1:13:23 | 1:13:27 | |
temperatures. Just recently we have
a cold snap and that can have an | 1:13:27 | 1:13:32 | |
impact on people's health? Yes, it
can have a city the content packed. | 1:13:32 | 1:13:36 | |
We found that heart attacks increase
very quickly after a cold snap. | 1:13:36 | 1:13:41 | |
About five days later people are
often admitted with strokes, and 12 | 1:13:41 | 1:13:45 | |
days later they get significant
respiratory illness. So heart | 1:13:45 | 1:13:49 | |
attacks can account for something
like 40% of the additional deaths we | 1:13:49 | 1:13:54 | |
see over the winter. Stay in warm
during this cold weather is | 1:13:54 | 1:13:58 | |
important. That is interesting. We
are also talking about loneliness. | 1:13:58 | 1:14:01 | |
We talk about it a lot here on
Breakfast. Tellers are the impact | 1:14:01 | 1:14:05 | |
you think it has on people's health?
Social isolation and feeling only | 1:14:05 | 1:14:11 | |
has an impact not just on people's
physical health but also their | 1:14:11 | 1:14:14 | |
mental health and well-being. About
9 million people across England say | 1:14:14 | 1:14:19 | |
they are lonely for most of the
time. That is more than the | 1:14:19 | 1:14:25 | |
population of London. The
commendation of feeling lonely, may | 1:14:25 | 1:14:30 | |
be becoming depressed, not taking
action earlier if you are feeling | 1:14:30 | 1:14:34 | |
unwell, that can have a massive
impact on how you feel. Really, | 1:14:34 | 1:14:39 | |
really important that we give people
an opportunity to pop in and go and | 1:14:39 | 1:14:44 | |
say hello to neighbours or loved
ones, get a cup of tea, check | 1:14:44 | 1:14:48 | |
whether they have got their house or
their flat to warm. See if they need | 1:14:48 | 1:14:52 | |
any help to have food or a hot
drink. Those simple Acts of kindness | 1:14:52 | 1:14:57 | |
can have a massive impact on
people's physical health and | 1:14:57 | 1:15:00 | |
well-being. It is a very sad figure,
this. Three quarters of GPs say they | 1:15:00 | 1:15:07 | |
see up to five people per day who
have come in mainly because they are | 1:15:07 | 1:15:11 | |
lonely? | 1:15:11 | 1:15:12 | |
Only last night I was talking to
three GPs from London. They said it | 1:15:17 | 1:15:21 | |
happened to them. People want social
interaction and many go to their | 1:15:21 | 1:15:26 | |
local GP. Simple things like making
sure they know who they can get in | 1:15:26 | 1:15:33 | |
contact with, if they have friends
or family who can pop in and see | 1:15:33 | 1:15:37 | |
them, give them a ring, it makes a
huge impact on lives. What about if | 1:15:37 | 1:15:42 | |
you are one of those who genuinely
feels the pain of loneliness? It can | 1:15:42 | 1:15:49 | |
make you feel more vulnerable and
unable to go out. What is your | 1:15:49 | 1:15:53 | |
advice? For people that feel
vulnerable, it is about knowing | 1:15:53 | 1:15:57 | |
there is help available, knowing
they can speak to their neighbours, | 1:15:57 | 1:16:01 | |
friends, family. And, actually, if
they are able to go out, if they | 1:16:01 | 1:16:08 | |
start to feel unwell, go to the
local pharmacist, go and make sure | 1:16:08 | 1:16:11 | |
if they start to get a cold, a
cough, they take some action and get | 1:16:11 | 1:16:17 | |
some help and seek out advice from
people like the pharmacist that can | 1:16:17 | 1:16:23 | |
really help them. There are also
different helplines, there is AIDUK, | 1:16:23 | 1:16:28 | |
and there people available that can
provide support. This call to action | 1:16:28 | 1:16:36 | |
is for family, friends, those who
can take the time to think about | 1:16:36 | 1:16:40 | |
someone who may not even be old,
quite young, just feeling lonely and | 1:16:40 | 1:16:46 | |
needing a bit of attention over the
next few months. We know there has | 1:16:46 | 1:16:50 | |
been more funding announced in the
budget to help the NHS through | 1:16:50 | 1:16:53 | |
winter. Will that help? Will that be
enough? How do you feel we are | 1:16:53 | 1:16:59 | |
placed to cope with this this
winter? We started planning for this | 1:16:59 | 1:17:04 | |
winter much, much earlier than we
have ever done before. There has | 1:17:04 | 1:17:07 | |
been a significant amount of work
that has gone into getting ready for | 1:17:07 | 1:17:12 | |
winter. We have extended the ability
for people to see their general | 1:17:12 | 1:17:18 | |
practice, GP, we are extending that
from eight in the morning to eight | 1:17:18 | 1:17:22 | |
in the evening across England over
the next few months. In London, for | 1:17:22 | 1:17:29 | |
example, it is already available,
every day, from eight to eight. We | 1:17:29 | 1:17:36 | |
have opened additional beds. We have
looked at hotlines. People can ring | 1:17:36 | 1:17:44 | |
up and get access to a clinical call
handler, nurse, advanced paramedic, | 1:17:44 | 1:17:51 | |
who can give them better advice. We
have increased that to 36% getting | 1:17:51 | 1:17:58 | |
access to those clinicians. We have
a lot of wraparound to make sure | 1:17:58 | 1:18:02 | |
people can get the best advice as
quickly as possible to keep them | 1:18:02 | 1:18:07 | |
well and enable organisations to
cope over the winter months. Thank | 1:18:07 | 1:18:12 | |
you. Thank you. If you have just
turned on, if Wednesday is your | 1:18:12 | 1:18:21 | |
first day watching, we are singing
tonight. | 1:18:21 | 1:18:28 | |
All this week we've been finding out
why singing is good for the soul | 1:18:28 | 1:18:31 | |
and asking why we all love
a sing-a-long for our BBC | 1:18:31 | 1:18:34 | |
Breakfast Sings series,
and now the spotlight is on us. | 1:18:34 | 1:18:37 | |
Dan, Lou, Naga, Charlie, Steph,
Mike, and me will take centre stage | 1:18:37 | 1:18:41 | |
at Manchester's Bridgewater Hotel
tonight to sing a Christmas classic. | 1:18:41 | 1:18:43 | |
She is getting a bit nervous. Sue
says this. OK, it is not perfect, | 1:18:43 | 1:18:47 | |
but it made me smile. More than
that, it was inspirational, because | 1:18:47 | 1:18:50 | |
I am a rubbish singer. Seeing how it
does not matter, it has made me want | 1:18:50 | 1:18:55 | |
to start singing, regardless of if I
am in June or not. Well done to all | 1:18:55 | 1:18:59 | |
of you showing us that the main
thing is having fun, whether you are | 1:18:59 | 1:19:07 | |
in tune or not. If I have the
courage to sing tonight, it will be | 1:19:07 | 1:19:14 | |
because of you. | 1:19:14 | 1:19:16 | |
Tonight is the peak night
of the Geminid Meteor Showerm | 1:19:16 | 1:19:19 | |
where hundreds of shooting stars can
be seen flying through our skies. | 1:19:19 | 1:19:22 | |
And to tell us how well we might be
able to see them is Matt, | 1:19:22 | 1:19:26 | |
bringing us the weather
from the Greenwich Royal | 1:19:26 | 1:19:28 | |
Observatory. | 1:19:28 | 1:19:28 | |
Good morning. Yes, they certainly
can. This is considered to be the | 1:19:28 | 1:19:32 | |
peak meteor event of the year. You
can see them just about anywhere. | 1:19:32 | 1:19:42 | |
They are bits of debris and dust on
the back of a passing asteroid which | 1:19:42 | 1:19:46 | |
goes past Earth every 1.4 years. You
just have to look to the sky to see | 1:19:46 | 1:19:53 | |
them. Best to look towards the
south-east. They originate from the | 1:19:53 | 1:19:58 | |
consolation of Gemini. You could see
anything from 120 meteors every | 1:19:58 | 1:20:07 | |
single hour, one or two a minute.
You have a good chance, in theory. | 1:20:07 | 1:20:11 | |
The bad news, you will need some
clear skies, of course. You will get | 1:20:11 | 1:20:16 | |
times through the night in eastern
areas. In the West, there will | 1:20:16 | 1:20:21 | |
always be more cloud and the threat
of showers. The forecast. Icy this | 1:20:21 | 1:20:28 | |
morning, especially with snow. Today
is the warmest day of the week, | 1:20:28 | 1:20:34 | |
believe it or not. A lot of cloud.
Dry at the moment. Bits of rain in | 1:20:34 | 1:20:41 | |
the rush-hour. Parts of north-west
England may have heavy showers going | 1:20:41 | 1:20:51 | |
away. In Scotland, they will
continue to be fast and frequent in | 1:20:51 | 1:20:55 | |
central and western areas. Some will
be wintry. Mainly over the hills. | 1:20:55 | 1:21:00 | |
Showers today mainly of rain. Snowy
cannot be ruled out. Rain is likely | 1:21:00 | 1:21:07 | |
this morning. 10- 11 in the
south-west of England. A breeze | 1:21:07 | 1:21:11 | |
today. The seam in many parts of the
country compared to what we have had | 1:21:11 | 1:21:16 | |
in the past 24 hours. -- the same.
Heavy showers in the west of the UK | 1:21:16 | 1:21:23 | |
to start with. The afternoon, lively
showers. Gusty winds attached to | 1:21:23 | 1:21:29 | |
them pushing across the southern
half of the country in particular. | 1:21:29 | 1:21:32 | |
Even with those, sleet and snow on
the higher ground. Showers in the | 1:21:32 | 1:21:39 | |
north-west of the UK becoming wintry
as well. The past few days have been | 1:21:39 | 1:21:43 | |
more cold. It will get warmer. Heavy
showers in East Anglia and the | 1:21:43 | 1:21:51 | |
south-east corner. They will clear.
The east brings the best chance of | 1:21:51 | 1:21:54 | |
seeing the meteors. Gaps between the
showers, clearer skies, that will | 1:21:54 | 1:22:09 | |
lead to chilly conditions. Ice
around and do tomorrow morning. | 1:22:09 | 1:22:13 | |
Tomorrow, largely dry conditions in
the east of the UK. The wind and the | 1:22:13 | 1:22:17 | |
east of Scotland will be lighter.
Sleet and snow could be mixed in | 1:22:17 | 1:22:25 | |
with those. Windy us towards the
south-west of the UK, especially | 1:22:25 | 1:22:28 | |
Wales and the south-west.
Temperatures dropping again further | 1:22:28 | 1:22:31 | |
into Friday. The wind is going more
north. That will bring showers to | 1:22:31 | 1:22:36 | |
the north and east of Scotland and
the north-east of England. Sleet and | 1:22:36 | 1:22:40 | |
snow and hail. Showers for Northern
Ireland, far south Wales, and the | 1:22:40 | 1:22:46 | |
far south-west of England. For many,
Friday, a dry and bright day. Chilly | 1:22:46 | 1:22:50 | |
moments. Part of the giant. A cold
and frosty night will be back to | 1:22:50 | 1:22:58 | |
take us to the start of the weekend.
If you want to see the meteors, good | 1:22:58 | 1:23:12 | |
luck. The best chance in the
south-east. | 1:23:12 | 1:23:15 | |
Do you remember Car Phone Warehouse
and Dicksons? They have merged. Not | 1:23:15 | 1:23:27 | |
great news. They say profits are
down 60%. They are still making | 1:23:27 | 1:23:31 | |
money, over £40 million. But it is
done a lot compared to last year. | 1:23:31 | 1:23:37 | |
That is for a few reasons. Just
talking to the boss, he was saying | 1:23:37 | 1:23:41 | |
it is a lot of one-off things, the
change in the EU roaming charges, | 1:23:41 | 1:23:53 | |
that cost them money. But digging in
deep, it is to do with how we are | 1:23:53 | 1:23:57 | |
spending money at the moment. In the
past with mobile phones, every year | 1:23:57 | 1:24:01 | |
we would upgrade. We don't do that
has often. Also, phones are more | 1:24:01 | 1:24:05 | |
expensive as well for them so the
cost of them has gone up. That has | 1:24:05 | 1:24:11 | |
put pressure on profit margins. And
also in terms with how we spend, we | 1:24:11 | 1:24:21 | |
don't spend much on big-ticket items
any more. The cost of living has | 1:24:21 | 1:24:24 | |
gone up more fast than wages. In
real terms, people do not have as | 1:24:24 | 1:24:30 | |
much money to spend on things like
big electrical items. That is | 1:24:30 | 1:24:33 | |
hitting them quite hard. It is
interesting how it all comes | 1:24:33 | 1:24:38 | |
together. Thank you. Breaking news
on a story we were talking about | 1:24:38 | 1:24:43 | |
yesterday. The fire in Salford. Two
people have been arrested on murder | 1:24:43 | 1:24:51 | |
with the fire caused through people
to die. They died in Greater | 1:24:51 | 1:24:59 | |
Manchester on Monday. Police have
said today a man and a woman have | 1:24:59 | 1:25:04 | |
been charged. They will appear at
the magistrates court later today. | 1:25:04 | 1:25:07 | |
We will bring you that news as we
get it. 725. | 1:25:07 | 1:25:15 | |
There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 1:25:15 | 1:25:18 | |
to improve for years
and include over a 100 which, | 1:25:18 | 1:25:21 | |
for more than a decade,
have never been rated | 1:25:21 | 1:25:23 | |
as "good" by OFSTED. | 1:25:23 | 1:25:24 | |
That's the verdict of
England's Chief Inspector | 1:25:24 | 1:25:26 | |
of Schools, Amanda Spielman,
who says many are in the most | 1:25:26 | 1:25:29 | |
deprived areas with more children
from poor white families, | 1:25:29 | 1:25:32 | |
or who have special needs. | 1:25:32 | 1:25:33 | |
Let's get some reaction
from Tarun Kapoor, Chief Executive | 1:25:33 | 1:25:35 | |
of the Dean Trust,
which runs several schools | 1:25:35 | 1:25:38 | |
in the north-west of England. | 1:25:38 | 1:25:39 | |
Good morning. It is good to speak to
you again. How many schools are you | 1:25:39 | 1:25:44 | |
running? I am running nine schools.
People come to you specifically | 1:25:44 | 1:25:48 | |
because they want to improve their
schools. What can you do to make a | 1:25:48 | 1:25:53 | |
difference? To invest in the capital
of people. Many of these schools | 1:25:53 | 1:25:59 | |
have been battered and bruised for
many years. They do lots of hard | 1:25:59 | 1:26:03 | |
work, they think they are doing the
right thing. Sometimes it is about | 1:26:03 | 1:26:09 | |
showing you are working alongside
them and getting them to realise | 1:26:09 | 1:26:13 | |
children are children and will do as
we ask. They are proud of doing | 1:26:13 | 1:26:17 | |
well. We do things which you could
say that is a grammar school | 1:26:17 | 1:26:22 | |
education. By children stand up to
ask questions. They cannot come to | 1:26:22 | 1:26:28 | |
school without the right equipment.
You can waste 15 minutes of a lesson | 1:26:28 | 1:26:33 | |
sometimes. That does not happen with
us. You start the lesson without | 1:26:33 | 1:26:39 | |
that. So, primary and secondary
schools are underperforming. Why is | 1:26:39 | 1:26:47 | |
it they are struggling to improve?
Are they stuck in a rut? There are | 1:26:47 | 1:26:55 | |
many pressures on head teachers.
They are like football managers. If | 1:26:55 | 1:27:00 | |
they lose a job, they do not get
another one. Some are good they just | 1:27:00 | 1:27:05 | |
need support. What should we do to
help them rather than hurt them? We | 1:27:05 | 1:27:16 | |
go to schools and some people say it
is terrible. But it isn't. They have | 1:27:16 | 1:27:20 | |
just lost direction. The children
are running the school. It has to be | 1:27:20 | 1:27:26 | |
the other way around. The staff have
to take back the school and the | 1:27:26 | 1:27:31 | |
corridors and the community. We had
a school which was the 10th worst in | 1:27:31 | 1:27:36 | |
the country, to be honest. It is
oversubscribed, it has record | 1:27:36 | 1:27:40 | |
results. You cannot get in. That is
because the community are doing | 1:27:40 | 1:27:48 | |
things which are right for their
children. We talk about communities | 1:27:48 | 1:27:51 | |
and jobs and aspiration. One last
question. Many of these schools are | 1:27:51 | 1:27:57 | |
in the most deprived areas. Do you
see a link between that? Does do not | 1:27:57 | 1:28:03 | |
have to be a link? We have to
acknowledge that once they get into | 1:28:03 | 1:28:11 | |
the red line, they are not deprived.
If they do not have a uniform, we | 1:28:11 | 1:28:16 | |
make sure they have the equipment.
It cannot be an excuse. We have to | 1:28:16 | 1:28:21 | |
do something different. You talk
about wasting 15 minutes at the | 1:28:21 | 1:28:27 | |
start of each lesson. What if
children do not have the equipment? | 1:28:27 | 1:28:31 | |
Can you give it to them? There is a
shop at the start of every school | 1:28:31 | 1:28:39 | |
that gives them for 5p. This
business of going to the top and | 1:28:39 | 1:28:46 | |
dropping, it is no good. We need
steady change which is sustainable. | 1:28:46 | 1:28:54 | |
Thank you for coming in in. I know
you have a busy day of the national | 1:28:54 | 1:28:58 | |

So, we're seeing the
return of sunshine. | 1:32:19 | 1:32:21 | |
Staying cold during the day

It follows a bitter campaign
against Republican Roy Moore, | 1:33:08 | 1:33:11 | |

23-year-old Zac Volland and
24-year-old Courtney Brearley argued | 1:33:34 | 1:33:38 | |

There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 1:33:43 | 1:33:46 | |
to improve for years,
that's according to the Chief | 1:33:46 | 1:33:49 | |
Inspector of Schools. | 1:33:49 | 1:33:49 | |
Amanda Spielman says this includes
more than a 100 which for more | 1:33:49 | 1:33:53 | |
than a decade have never been rated
as "good" by Ofsted. | 1:33:53 | 1:33:56 | |
The government says it's targeting
additional help at areas that | 1:33:56 | 1:33:58 | |

Theresa May is facing a potential
backbench rebellion later when MPs | 1:34:00 | 1:34:04 | |
vote on amendments to
the EU Withdrawal Bill. | 1:34:04 | 1:34:06 | |
A group of Tory MPs, led by former
Attorney General Dominic Grieve, | 1:34:06 | 1:34:09 | |
want to force ministers to give
Parliament a meaningful vote on any | 1:34:09 | 1:34:12 | |
final Brexit deal. | 1:34:12 | 1:34:13 | |
The Prime Minister has said that
ministers are listening | 1:34:13 | 1:34:16 | |
to the concerns
of Conservative MPs. | 1:34:16 | 1:34:27 | |
Thousands of children
in the Democratic Republic of Congo | 1:34:27 | 1:34:30 | |
are severly malnourished
and could die within a year | 1:34:30 | 1:34:32 | |
without emergency support. | 1:34:32 | 1:34:33 | |
That's according to the United
Nations, which has declared | 1:34:33 | 1:34:36 | |
the crisis as the highest
state of emergency. | 1:34:36 | 1:34:38 | |
Nearly one and a half million people
have been displaced from their homes | 1:34:38 | 1:34:42 | |
following violent clashes that began
last year. Social media companies | 1:34:42 | 1:34:45 | |
should face fines or prosecution
if they do not deal with online | 1:34:45 | 1:34:48 | |
abuse, according to a report
from the ethics watchdog. | 1:34:48 | 1:34:50 | |
The committee on standards
in public life. | 1:34:50 | 1:34:52 | |
It examined online harassment
following June's general election. | 1:34:52 | 1:34:54 | |
Currently, social media companies
say they cannot control the millions | 1:34:54 | 1:34:57 | |
of messages that go up. | 1:34:57 | 1:35:11 | |
Would you like to see a world record
attempt? Look at this. | 1:35:11 | 1:35:15 | |
PIANO MUSIC. | 1:35:15 | 1:35:27 | |
It's the most number of people
playing a piano piece | 1:35:27 | 1:35:30 | |
at the same time. | 1:35:30 | 1:35:34 | |
20 Bosnian youngsters
have set the record | 1:35:34 | 1:35:36 | |
with the performance in Sarajevo. | 1:35:36 | 1:35:38 | |
The previous record was 18 people
playing the same piece | 1:35:38 | 1:35:40 | |
simultaneously in Italy in 2014. | 1:35:40 | 1:35:48 | |
Well done to them. Our world record
holders. And a very tuneful. Matt | 1:35:48 | 1:35:52 | |
Lauer baldly whether coming up, and
we might play again, much to my | 1:35:52 | 1:35:58 | |
shame, our training and singing. It
is going to be OK. Remember what Su | 1:35:58 | 1:36:02 | |
said. You're inspired her to sing,
even though she watched a singing | 1:36:02 | 1:36:06 | |
earlier, because we were performing
tonight as part of BBC Breakfast | 1:36:06 | 1:36:10 | |
Sing at the Bridgewater Hall, six of
us will be on stage, singing too | 1:36:10 | 1:36:14 | |
much, just one line, but Louise is
nervous. Sue said that even though | 1:36:14 | 1:36:18 | |
we are not the best singers in the
world, we inspired her this morning | 1:36:18 | 1:36:21 | |
to get singing. Thank you. It is the
gift that keeps on giving. You see, | 1:36:21 | 1:36:27 | |
that's why! No, in a positive way.
You keep laughing and it makes me | 1:36:27 | 1:36:31 | |
embarrassed. It isn't just people,
you know, Mariah Carey singers who | 1:36:31 | 1:36:35 | |
should be singing. We should all be
allowed to sing. Let's talk about | 1:36:35 | 1:36:39 | |
Chris Froome. Yes, breaking news
about Chris Froome. It has emerged | 1:36:39 | 1:36:47 | |
this morning that he failed a drug
test during his Vuleta victory in | 1:36:47 | 1:36:52 | |
September. -- Vuelta. The cycling
governing body has requested more | 1:36:52 | 1:37:00 | |
details after the results from his
you're in sample. Team sky said his | 1:37:00 | 1:37:05 | |
dosage was increased within
permissible limits on doctor 's | 1:37:05 | 1:37:07 | |
advice to treat asthma symptoms he
suffered from, since he was a child. | 1:37:07 | 1:37:11 | |
We will give you more details as we
get them. | 1:37:11 | 1:37:17 | |
The Burnley manager Sean Dyche says
football is about dreams as his side | 1:37:17 | 1:37:21 | |
move into the top four
of the Premier League after a 1-0 | 1:37:21 | 1:37:24 | |
win over Stoke City. | 1:37:24 | 1:37:25 | |
A late goal by substitute
Ashley Barnes put them | 1:37:25 | 1:37:28 | |
into the Champions League places. | 1:37:28 | 1:37:29 | |
They climb above Liverpool
and Arsenal who play this evening. | 1:37:29 | 1:37:32 | |
The reality is, we've got another
tough game on Saturday. | 1:37:32 | 1:37:34 | |
We are enjoying this, of course. | 1:37:34 | 1:37:36 | |
The players have earned
the right to enjoy this. | 1:37:36 | 1:37:44 | |
But the next game comes quickly
on Saturday and that's my focus. | 1:37:44 | 1:37:48 | |
I'm really pleased with the lads
tonight, a different way of finding | 1:37:48 | 1:37:51 | |
results and we had to work
hard for oit tonight, | 1:37:51 | 1:37:54 | |
grinding it out. | 1:37:54 | 1:37:54 | |
But Thursday, we will look
to recover, and we look | 1:37:54 | 1:37:57 | |
to the next one. | 1:37:57 | 1:37:58 | |
Reigning champions Chelsea
are the side above Burnley. | 1:37:58 | 1:38:00 | |
Their manager Antonio Conte thinks
they've got no chance | 1:38:00 | 1:38:03 | |
of retaining their title
but they easily beat Huddersfield | 1:38:03 | 1:38:05 | |
3-1 last night. | 1:38:05 | 1:38:06 | |
Pedro scored their third. | 1:38:06 | 1:38:12 | |
And Crystal Palace are out
of the bottom three for the first | 1:38:12 | 1:38:15 | |
time this season after they scored
twice in the final few minutes | 1:38:15 | 1:38:18 | |
to beat Watford. | 1:38:18 | 1:38:19 | |
Palace were a goal down
but Wilfried Zaha and James McCarthy | 1:38:19 | 1:38:22 | |
turned it around after Watford
had a man sent off. | 1:38:22 | 1:38:25 | |
England captain Joe Root says it's
time for his team to "stand up" | 1:38:25 | 1:38:29 | |
ahead of the crucial third
Ashes Test in Perth. | 1:38:29 | 1:38:31 | |
Australia lead the series 2-0
and will regain the Ashes | 1:38:31 | 1:38:34 | |
if they win at the WACA,
where England haven't won | 1:38:34 | 1:38:36 | |
for nearly 40 years. | 1:38:36 | 1:38:38 | |
With problems on and off the field
Root says the pressure | 1:38:38 | 1:38:41 | |
is on the senior players. | 1:38:41 | 1:38:46 | |
Whenever you get the chance to play
for England you want to stand up | 1:38:46 | 1:38:50 | |
and be counted and put
in those big promises. | 1:38:50 | 1:38:53 | |
When it is as big a game as this,
senior players probably are under | 1:38:53 | 1:38:56 | |
more pressure than the other guys. | 1:38:56 | 1:38:58 | |
It's important that we go out
there and, I suppose, | 1:38:58 | 1:39:01 | |
try not to put too much
pressure on ourselves. | 1:39:01 | 1:39:03 | |
But know that that
responsibility is there. | 1:39:03 | 1:39:05 | |
Tyson Fury says he wants to fight
Anthony Joshua after he was given | 1:39:05 | 1:39:09 | |
the green light to carry
on his boxing career. | 1:39:09 | 1:39:11 | |
The former world heavyweight
champion has accepted a backdated | 1:39:11 | 1:39:14 | |
two-year ban for doping something
that he blamed on eating wild boar. | 1:39:14 | 1:39:17 | |
He can fight again once
he regains his boxing license. | 1:39:17 | 1:39:33 | |
We haven't heard the
end of it, have we? | 1:39:33 | 1:39:35 | |
Johanna Konta has been speaking
for the first time since parting | 1:39:36 | 1:39:39 | |
with Wim Fisette, the coach that
oversaw the most successful period | 1:39:39 | 1:39:42 | |
in her career. | 1:39:42 | 1:39:43 | |
She'll now work with
the American Michael Joyce | 1:39:43 | 1:39:45 | |
and is excited about
the partnership. | 1:39:45 | 1:39:50 | |
Obviously it is still early days. | 1:39:50 | 1:39:51 | |
We will see how things go. | 1:39:51 | 1:40:12 | |
He's not only bringing a great
amount of coaching experience, | 1:40:12 | 1:40:15 | |
he was also a great player. | 1:40:15 | 1:40:17 | |
He brings a lot of experience
from his playing days which I'm | 1:40:17 | 1:40:20 | |
definitely looking
forward to learning from. | 1:40:20 | 1:40:22 | |
Well, down at non-league Hereford
they've been using them to make | 1:40:22 | 1:40:24 | |
sure their FA Cup replay
against Fleetwood Town goes | 1:40:24 | 1:40:27 | |
ahead tomorrow night. | 1:40:27 | 1:40:28 | |
Volunteers getting stuck in with the
shovels. The winners will play | 1:40:28 | 1:40:31 | |
Premier League lest in the third
round, so it is a big game. Lots of | 1:40:31 | 1:40:35 | |
money in the next round. And you'll
be talking more about that Chris | 1:40:35 | 1:40:38 | |
Froome story later. Yes, big news
about Chris Froome. We were looking | 1:40:38 | 1:40:42 | |
at the papers today and talking
about the fact that there is a | 1:40:42 | 1:40:45 | |
family in Devon, I think, who have a
set of Christmas lights which have | 1:40:45 | 1:40:50 | |
always worked and they bought them
50 years ago. I've got a little | 1:40:50 | 1:40:54 | |
bird, a cloth bird, it has been
about 40 or 50 years old. I nearly | 1:40:54 | 1:40:59 | |
threw it away. I won't now. I feel
bad. Send us your pictures in. Lots | 1:40:59 | 1:41:04 | |
of people have been sending them in.
John Wood says his dad Bobby 's | 1:41:04 | 1:41:09 | |
father christmas models in 1958.
They are made of cardboard. This is | 1:41:09 | 1:41:13 | |
the little worse for wherever a
year, but they look very good to me. | 1:41:13 | 1:41:17 | |
This is a Christmas tree brought by
Sarah Heron's great-grandmother in | 1:41:17 | 1:41:23 | |
Sheffield in 1929. Still going
strong. That is fantastic. Slightly | 1:41:23 | 1:41:29 | |
lopsided, but still going strong.
Elizabeth Hogarth with this native | 1:41:29 | 1:41:34 | |
tea set out every year. Look at
that. She says the Ox has lost his | 1:41:34 | 1:41:39 | |
ears. And Joseph has stubbed his
toe. But it still reminds us family | 1:41:39 | 1:41:44 | |
of the true meaning of Christmas,
and I'm sure our young | 1:41:44 | 1:41:47 | |
granddaughters will enjoy playing
with it when they come to visit. | 1:41:47 | 1:41:50 | |
Here we have Mr and Mrs Claus.
Knitted by the lender, and John | 1:41:50 | 1:41:55 | |
Wilson's daughter Sarah, when she
was eight years old. That was 35 | 1:41:55 | 1:41:59 | |
years ago. This is a 50-year-old
Santa Claus. Sandra says her husband | 1:41:59 | 1:42:08 | |
insists on putting it up every year
in their home in Malvern despite the | 1:42:08 | 1:42:12 | |
fact that it freaks out the kids.
Last but by no means least, this is | 1:42:12 | 1:42:16 | |
a masterpiece by a young girl called
Stephanie, aged five, from | 1:42:16 | 1:42:19 | |
Middlesbrough. Her dad puts it up on
the wall every year, even though she | 1:42:19 | 1:42:25 | |
has now made it to the BBC Breakfast
sofa. It'll Stephanie Anderson that | 1:42:25 | 1:42:30 | |
is just lovely! Can you see what it
is? Of course. And your dad has kept | 1:42:30 | 1:42:36 | |
it all this time? He has framed it
now because it is worse for wear. He | 1:42:36 | 1:42:41 | |
is a proud father. There you go. An
embarrassed daughter. We are talking | 1:42:41 | 1:42:45 | |
about energy bills this morning?
Yes, we were talking about energy | 1:42:45 | 1:42:49 | |
and now we are going to talk about
water bills because the boss of the | 1:42:49 | 1:42:53 | |
regulator is here.
The water regulator sets the level | 1:42:53 | 1:42:56 | |
that companies in England and Wales
can charge their customers for | 1:42:56 | 1:42:59 | |
water. They make that decision every
five years. This morning we can find | 1:42:59 | 1:43:03 | |
out more about what goes into
deciding that. Katherine Ross joins | 1:43:03 | 1:43:08 | |
us, the chief executive of Ofwat.
Tell us about how you work this out | 1:43:08 | 1:43:15 | |
every five years? As most people
will know, people in England and | 1:43:15 | 1:43:19 | |
Wales cannot choose their water and
waste water supplier, so it is | 1:43:19 | 1:43:22 | |
important we limit the prices
companies can charge their customers | 1:43:22 | 1:43:25 | |
and also challenge the company to
deliver more in terms of service. | 1:43:25 | 1:43:29 | |
Now, there are three different
elements to what we do when we do | 1:43:29 | 1:43:32 | |
our price review. The first is to
look at the cost of financing the | 1:43:32 | 1:43:36 | |
company 's face. When are these
companies do lots of investment, | 1:43:36 | 1:43:39 | |
they go to the financial markets to
raise money for that. We challenge | 1:43:39 | 1:43:42 | |
those costs. We'll sue challenge
than actual costs of service. What | 1:43:42 | 1:43:45 | |
does it cost to transport water
through a pipe, or treated? If the | 1:43:45 | 1:43:50 | |
thing is that we challenge them to
do more for the customers in terms | 1:43:50 | 1:43:53 | |
of the service package. That first
element, that financing cost | 1:43:53 | 1:43:57 | |
element, the single biggest driver
of bills, one third of the average | 1:43:57 | 1:44:00 | |
build, we think that will come down
by between 15 and £35 in the next | 1:44:00 | 1:44:04 | |
control period. We think bills will
come down by between 15 and £25 in | 1:44:04 | 1:44:09 | |
that period. We don't often talk
about bills going down. How much of | 1:44:09 | 1:44:15 | |
a difference will it make to
customers? The average bill is £400. | 1:44:15 | 1:44:19 | |
We have lots more work to do on the
other elements of the price control, | 1:44:19 | 1:44:23 | |
the efficiency challenge and the
service package. Just the decision | 1:44:23 | 1:44:26 | |
we have put out today means those
£400 bills will come down by between | 1:44:26 | 1:44:30 | |
15 and £35. We also think what
customers get for their money will | 1:44:30 | 1:44:35 | |
go up as well. We are looking at 14
common commitments across all the | 1:44:35 | 1:44:39 | |
water companies, the things that
really matter to customers like | 1:44:39 | 1:44:42 | |
reducing sewer flooding, reducing
supply interruptions, reducing | 1:44:42 | 1:44:45 | |
drought restrictions and stuff like
that stop it is really a package | 1:44:45 | 1:44:48 | |
about more for less. In January last
year a committee of MPs accuse you | 1:44:48 | 1:44:52 | |
of allowing water companies to make
excessive profits. Do you think that | 1:44:52 | 1:44:56 | |
has changed now? You can see from
the decision we have put out today | 1:44:56 | 1:45:01 | |
that we are bringing a tougher
challenge than ever to companies. We | 1:45:01 | 1:45:04 | |
are reducing the money that they
make, but we are action holding out | 1:45:04 | 1:45:10 | |
the prospect that they can earn more
money if they do the things that | 1:45:10 | 1:45:14 | |
really matter to customers. There
will be rewards for service delivery | 1:45:14 | 1:45:17 | |
on the things that matter most, like
reducing flooding, drought | 1:45:17 | 1:45:21 | |
interruptions, supply interruptions,
and improving customer service. Just | 1:45:21 | 1:45:25 | |
sitting there and being a water
company, you will make less money in | 1:45:25 | 1:45:29 | |
the future. Do you think they were
making excessive profits? | 1:45:29 | 1:45:34 | |
Back in 2009, the cost was lower.
That is why MPs are criticising us. | 1:45:38 | 1:45:45 | |
We took that on board. That is why
we are taking a tougher line on it. | 1:45:45 | 1:45:50 | |
Complaints. Calls are on the up. Why
is that? That is to do with the | 1:45:50 | 1:46:00 | |
business customer competition. In
April, the government released | 1:46:00 | 1:46:04 | |
competition in England. You can now
choose your supplier. With that, | 1:46:04 | 1:46:09 | |
customers engage more with their
company and try to do different | 1:46:09 | 1:46:12 | |
things. Some customers have found it
is not working well for them. We are | 1:46:12 | 1:46:17 | |
challenging companies to improve on
that. We think it will be temporary | 1:46:17 | 1:46:21 | |
and they will get on top of it.
Thank you for coming in. We | 1:46:21 | 1:46:25 | |
appreciate it. That is it for now.
Thank you for sending in your centre | 1:46:25 | 1:46:33 | |

He can tell us where the best place
is to see it and the rest of the | 1:46:47 | 1:46:51 | |
He can tell us where the best place
is to see it and the rest of the | 1:46:51 | 1:46:51 | |
weather. Definitely. Good morning.
You will not need a telescope like | 1:46:51 | 1:46:56 | |
this to see it. This telescope was
made in 1893. | 1:46:56 | 1:46:59 | |
It is still used for regular
viewings of the sky in Greenwich. | 1:47:02 | 1:47:07 | |
But if you want to see the meteor
shower tonight, the peak event of | 1:47:07 | 1:47:13 | |
the year, you could see as many as
120 meteors every hour. The problem | 1:47:13 | 1:47:20 | |
is we have clout at times. The best
view in the east of the UK. -- | 1:47:20 | 1:47:25 | |
cloud. You could chance it further
west. Clear periods. Showers will | 1:47:25 | 1:47:32 | |
ruin it every now and again. That is
the story weatherwise today. It is | 1:47:32 | 1:47:35 | |
also said to be the warmest day of
the week, believe it or not. It has | 1:47:35 | 1:47:43 | |
been cold recently. Today could be
warm. Most of us should be | 1:47:43 | 1:47:50 | |
frost-free. A scattering of showers
across the country. Not many in | 1:47:50 | 1:47:58 | |
eastern areas at the moment. A great
diet. Spots of rain through becoming | 1:47:58 | 1:48:02 | |
hours. -- grey start. Eastern
Scotland will stay largely dry but a | 1:48:02 | 1:48:11 | |
few showers. Showers to the north
and west of Scotland. You can see | 1:48:11 | 1:48:15 | |
the chart. Sleet and snow, mainly on
the hills. Heavier showers could | 1:48:15 | 1:48:22 | |
come down to lower levels. Wales in
the south-west, showers mainly of | 1:48:22 | 1:48:27 | |
rain rather than light snow we have
seen in recent days. Sleet and snow | 1:48:27 | 1:48:33 | |
in higher ground areas. The west, 8-
11. Chilly in the Midlands. A few | 1:48:33 | 1:48:41 | |
degrees above freezing. We will
continue to see showers move across | 1:48:41 | 1:48:47 | |
the country for the west and eastern
at times to be more sunshine | 1:48:47 | 1:48:51 | |
developing in between those showers.
-- at times. The Midlands, southern | 1:48:51 | 1:48:57 | |
England, a spell of heavy rain and
gusty winds. That could also turn to | 1:48:57 | 1:49:02 | |
snow at times over the high ground.
Temperatures UK wide, higher than it | 1:49:02 | 1:49:09 | |
has been. The forecast if you want
to see meteor showers. More cloud | 1:49:09 | 1:49:20 | |
towards the west. Easiest to in the
east. Sleet and snow. Lower levels | 1:49:20 | 1:49:25 | |
as well. -- to see. Frost and ice
around until tomorrow morning. | 1:49:25 | 1:49:33 | |
Thursday could be a more cold start
them this morning. Frost and ice | 1:49:33 | 1:49:36 | |
around. The east of the country, dry
and bright. Fewer showers in the | 1:49:36 | 1:49:41 | |
forecast. Showers in the west. Sleet
and snow. Gusty winds in the | 1:49:41 | 1:49:46 | |
south-west of the UK, as we will see
today. Temperatures dropping | 1:49:46 | 1:49:50 | |
relative to today to be cold areas
back. Northerly wind blowing across | 1:49:50 | 1:49:56 | |
the country. Showers to the north
and east of Scotland this time and | 1:49:56 | 1:50:02 | |
eventually into north-east England.
Wintry showers at that. Showers for | 1:50:02 | 1:50:07 | |
Northern Ireland, south-west Wales,
and the south-west of England. Most | 1:50:07 | 1:50:10 | |
of you on Friday will be dry and
unclear. That will take us to a | 1:50:10 | 1:50:16 | |
frosty start to the weekend. You
will have to chance your luck to see | 1:50:16 | 1:50:26 | |
the meteor showers. The best luck in
the east. You will need lengthy | 1:50:26 | 1:50:32 | |
clearer skies if you are in the west
which I cannot promise. One more | 1:50:32 | 1:50:37 | |
fact. I mentioned the dome was made
from papier-mache. This one is not | 1:50:37 | 1:50:46 | |
even attached to the building. It is
floating on top. A really strong | 1:50:46 | 1:50:51 | |
wind could take it away.
Interesting! We will look east | 1:50:51 | 1:50:57 | |
first! Thanks! | 1:50:57 | 1:51:00 | |
All this week we've been finding out
why singing is good for the soul | 1:51:00 | 1:51:04 | |
and asking why we all love
a sing-a-long for our BBC | 1:51:04 | 1:51:07 | |
Breakfast Sings series,
and now the spotlight is on us. | 1:51:07 | 1:51:11 | |
I love that a good sing-a-long, I
just don't think I am the one who | 1:51:11 | 1:51:25 | |
should be doing it. | 1:51:25 | 1:51:26 | |
Dan, Lou, Naga, Charlie, Steph,
Mike, and me will take centre stage | 1:51:26 | 1:51:29 | |
at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall
tonight to sing a Christmas classic. | 1:51:29 | 1:51:32 | |
Right now we have no idea what we'll
be singing and won't find out | 1:51:32 | 1:51:36 | |
until after today's
programme has finished. | 1:51:36 | 1:51:38 | |
We've been attemtping to hit those
high notes with the help | 1:51:38 | 1:51:41 | |
of the Choirmaster himself,
Wayne Ellington from | 1:51:41 | 1:51:43 | |
Manchester Inspirational Voices. | 1:51:43 | 1:51:43 | |
This is your BBC Breakfast
choir group in action. | 1:51:43 | 1:51:46 | |
Sing... | 1:51:46 | 1:51:46 | |
Good. | 1:51:46 | 1:51:52 | |
If anyone can help
us, this is the man. | 1:51:52 | 1:51:54 | |
OK... | 1:51:54 | 1:51:55 | |
I'm excited, if a little
bit nervous... | 1:51:55 | 1:52:02 | |
La, la, la. | 1:52:02 | 1:52:03 | |
I am enthusiastic but nervous. | 1:52:03 | 1:52:10 | |
Ahh. | 1:52:10 | 1:52:18 | |
The challenge is to
sing with the choir. | 1:52:21 | 1:52:23 | |
I will be hiding at the back. | 1:52:23 | 1:52:32 | |
He will be right at the front
with everyone looking at you. | 1:52:32 | 1:52:35 | |
I will sing and you follow me. | 1:52:35 | 1:52:37 | |
Ding, dong, verrily on high... | 1:52:37 | 1:52:44 | |
Away in a manger... | 1:52:44 | 1:52:45 | |
..And angels singing. | 1:52:45 | 1:52:46 | |
Have yourself a Merry
Little Christmas. | 1:52:46 | 1:52:48 | |
The wrong note! | 1:52:48 | 1:52:51 | |
Oh, OK. | 1:52:51 | 1:52:52 | |
Little donkey, little donkey... | 1:52:52 | 1:52:53 | |
Mary, did you know
that your baby boy... | 1:52:53 | 1:52:55 | |
I am worried. | 1:52:55 | 1:52:56 | |
You will be fine. | 1:52:56 | 1:52:57 | |
You will be fine. | 1:52:57 | 1:52:58 | |
Baby boy... | 1:52:58 | 1:53:11 | |
I cannot sing unless I am dancing. | 1:53:17 | 1:53:28 | |
So I am like "On a dusty road!" | 1:53:28 | 1:53:30 | |
Take a deep breath in for me... | 1:53:30 | 1:53:44 | |
And breathe out. | 1:53:44 | 1:53:44 | |
Yes! | 1:53:44 | 1:53:45 | |
One line down! | 1:53:45 | 1:53:51 | |
No crib for a bed. | 1:53:52 | 1:53:56 | |
Perfect. | 1:53:56 | 1:53:57 | |
You'll be fine, absolutely fine. | 1:53:57 | 1:54:04 | |
Yeah! | 1:54:04 | 1:54:04 | |
Perfect! | 1:54:04 | 1:54:05 | |
Perfect! | 1:54:06 | 1:54:07 | |
You will be great. | 1:54:07 | 1:54:08 | |
Thank you. | 1:54:08 | 1:54:09 | |
Wonderful! | 1:54:09 | 1:54:19 | |
I can sit down and relax. | 1:54:19 | 1:54:21 | |
Cheers. | 1:54:21 | 1:54:21 | |
See you on the big night. | 1:54:21 | 1:54:27 | |
#BBCSING. You can join in. That big
night is tonight. Next week... I am | 1:54:27 | 1:54:38 | |
just trying to ignore it now. Next
week, we want you to join in. | 1:54:38 | 1:54:43 | |
just trying to ignore it now. Next
week, we want you to join in. That | 1:54:43 | 1:54:44 | |
is at nine o'clock. We have choirs
around the UK singing "O come all ye | 1:54:44 | 1:55:01 | |
faithful." The lyrics are on the
website. We would like to join at | 1:55:01 | 1:55:05 | |
home. The results of the night, you
will be able to see them over the | 1:55:05 | 1:55:09 | |
Christmas period. I can fill your
concern. You have never seen me | 1:55:09 | 1:55:15 | |
before a triathlon. You do not
understand the level of nerves I can | 1:55:15 | 1:55:22 | |
get to. If you pulled out at this
stage it would be bad for your | 1:55:22 | 1:55:27 | |
family. I can get very nervous. You
can get in triathlon made. You can | 1:55:27 | 1:55:37 | |
get there and deliver the goods!
See? Pressure! It will be fine. You | 1:55:37 | 1:55:42 | |
will enjoy it. I am sure. | 1:55:42 | 1:55:50 | |

A baby girl born with her heart
outside her body has survived | 2:00:27 | 2:00:29 | |
in what's thought to be a first
in the UK. | 2:00:29 | 2:00:32 | |
Doctors carried out three operations
on Vanellope Wilkins to correct | 2:00:32 | 2:00:35 | |
the rare condition
that is usually fatal. | 2:00:35 | 2:00:38 | |
Her parents say
she's a real fighter. | 2:00:38 | 2:00:40 | |
If you saw her when she was first
born, to where she is now, | 2:00:40 | 2:00:43 | |
what they've done is... | 2:00:43 | 2:00:47 | |
It's beyond a miracle, isn't it? | 2:00:47 | 2:00:52 | |
Good morning. It's 8am. Wints, 13th

Profits at the electrical and mobile
phone retailer Dixons Carphone | 2:01:18 | 2:01:21 | |

forecast for today, you will need
your umbrella. There is plenty of | 2:02:14 | 2:02:17 | |
rain around. I've got the full
forecast coming up later. | 2:02:17 | 2:02:23 | |
Good morning.
First, our main story. | 2:02:23 | 2:02:26 | |
In what's thought to be a first
for doctors in the UK, | 2:02:26 | 2:02:29 | |
a baby girl has survived
after being born with her | 2:02:29 | 2:02:32 | |
heart outside her body. | 2:02:32 | 2:02:33 | |
Vanellope Hope Wilkins,
who has no breastbone, | 2:02:33 | 2:02:35 | |
was delivered three weeks ago
by Caesarean section. | 2:02:35 | 2:02:39 | |
She has had three operations
to place her heart back in her chest | 2:02:39 | 2:02:42 | |
at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester. | 2:02:42 | 2:02:43 | |
Our medical correspondent,
Fergus Walsh, spoke exclusively | 2:02:43 | 2:02:45 | |
to Vanellope's parents
and the medical team involved. | 2:02:45 | 2:02:51 | |
Good girl, yeah. | 2:02:51 | 2:02:54 | |
She's a beautiful girl. | 2:02:54 | 2:02:55 | |
Their pride and joy. | 2:02:55 | 2:02:58 | |
This is Vanellope,
astounding her parents | 2:02:58 | 2:03:00 | |
and doctors with her progress. | 2:03:00 | 2:03:05 | |
After three operations in three
weeks, her heart is now | 2:03:05 | 2:03:08 | |
back inside her chest. | 2:03:08 | 2:03:10 | |
Vanellope's parents say
the moment she was born | 2:03:10 | 2:03:12 | |
they knew she was a fighter. | 2:03:12 | 2:03:14 | |
She came out kicking and screaming. | 2:03:14 | 2:03:18 | |
And then she gave all
the surgeons aggro, didn't she? | 2:03:18 | 2:03:20 | |
It was a beautiful moment.
Absolutely beautiful. | 2:03:20 | 2:03:23 | |
If you saw her when she was first
born, to where she is now, | 2:03:23 | 2:03:27 | |
and what they've done... | 2:03:27 | 2:03:29 | |
It's beyond a miracle, isn't it? | 2:03:29 | 2:03:34 | |
The family knew from the first
ultrasound that Vanellope's heart | 2:03:34 | 2:03:36 | |
was outside her chest. | 2:03:36 | 2:03:39 | |
You can clearly see its unusual
position which is due to the absence | 2:03:39 | 2:03:43 | |
of a sternum or breastbone. | 2:03:43 | 2:03:45 | |
Babies with this rare condition
are usually stillborn. | 2:03:45 | 2:03:47 | |
But immediately as she emerged
during the Caesarean section, | 2:03:47 | 2:03:53 | |
doctors could see that Vanellope's
heart was beating strongly. | 2:03:53 | 2:03:59 | |
Three weeks on, her heart
is back where it should be, | 2:03:59 | 2:04:01 | |
covered with her own skin. | 2:04:01 | 2:04:05 | |
Vanellope is going to be
here for some considerable time. | 2:04:05 | 2:04:07 | |
The next step will be
getting her to breathe | 2:04:07 | 2:04:09 | |
without the help of a ventilator. | 2:04:09 | 2:04:11 | |
Then, in years to come,
she faces more surgery to create | 2:04:11 | 2:04:14 | |
a new sternum to protect her heart. | 2:04:14 | 2:04:15 | |
She faces a long road ahead, but has
already confounded predictions. | 2:04:15 | 2:04:25 | |
In a major political upset
in America, Doug Jones has become | 2:04:29 | 2:04:35 | |
the first Democrat in 25 years
to win a US Senate seat for Alabama. | 2:04:35 | 2:04:38 | |
But the Republican candidate,
Roy Moore, has so far refused | 2:04:38 | 2:04:40 | |
to concede the result. | 2:04:40 | 2:04:41 | |
Our correspondent David Willis has
been following the story | 2:04:41 | 2:04:46 | |
from Washington and has
sent this report. | 2:04:46 | 2:04:53 | |
It was a stunning political upset.
Doug Jones a federal prosecutor is | 2:04:53 | 2:04:57 | |
the first Democrat to be elected to
the Senate in this Conservative | 2:04:57 | 2:05:01 | |
southern state in a quarter of a
century. His victory reduces the | 2:05:01 | 2:05:08 | |
already razor-thin Republican
majority in the Senate to just one | 2:05:08 | 2:05:11 | |
seat. I think I have been waiting
all my life and now I don't know | 2:05:11 | 2:05:16 | |
what the hell to say!
This result speaks to the weaknesses | 2:05:16 | 2:05:25 | |
of his opponent, Republican
candidate Roy Moore a firebrand, who | 2:05:25 | 2:05:31 | |
believes homosexuality is immoral
and Muslims should not be allowed to | 2:05:31 | 2:05:37 | |
serve in Con cress saw his sizeable
lead in the polls reduce. Roy Moore | 2:05:37 | 2:05:48 | |
denies allegations. Despite calls
from senior members of his party for | 2:05:48 | 2:05:52 | |
him to withdraw from the race, Mr
Moore continued to enjoy the support | 2:05:52 | 2:05:58 | |
of President Trump who treated
tonight, "Congratulations to Doug | 2:05:58 | 2:06:01 | |
Jones on a hard fought victory, the
write-in votes played a big factor, | 2:06:01 | 2:06:09 | |
but a win is a win." It is a
reflection not only of the weakness | 2:06:09 | 2:06:20 | |
of the Republican candidate, but a
major snub to the president who | 2:06:20 | 2:06:24 | |
backed him. | 2:06:24 | 2:06:27 | |
Two people have been charged
with murder over the deaths of three | 2:06:27 | 2:06:32 | |
children in a house fire in Salford,
Greater Manchester, on Monday. | 2:06:32 | 2:06:35 | |
23-year-old Zac Bolland
and 20-year-old Courtney Brierley | 2:06:35 | 2:06:37 | |
are due in court later. | 2:06:37 | 2:06:39 | |
The children's mother
and their three-year-old sister | 2:06:39 | 2:06:41 | |
remain in hospital this morning. | 2:06:41 | 2:06:45 | |
Profits at the parent
company of Currys, PC World | 2:06:47 | 2:06:51 | |
and Carphone Warehouse
have dropped sharply. | 2:06:51 | 2:06:52 | |
Steph's here with the details. | 2:06:52 | 2:06:55 | |
There are a lot of numbers here. But
the key one is the fact that the | 2:06:55 | 2:06:59 | |
profits are down. They are down 60%.
So it's a company that's making | 2:06:59 | 2:07:04 | |
money, it's making over £40 million,
but it's the fact that it has fallen | 2:07:04 | 2:07:08 | |
and there is lots of reasons for
this. One of the big reasons they | 2:07:08 | 2:07:12 | |
say is somewhat they call one-off
events. Things like the fact the way | 2:07:12 | 2:07:18 | |
we charge for when you use your
phone abroad. That's cheaper for us, | 2:07:18 | 2:07:22 | |
but it means they don't make as much
money from it. They are saying the | 2:07:22 | 2:07:26 | |
change in EU roaming charges made a
big difference, but it is because we | 2:07:26 | 2:07:29 | |
are not buying mobiles as frequently
as we used to in terms of upgrading. | 2:07:29 | 2:07:33 | |
A lot of analysts would say that
mobile phones are not that different | 2:07:33 | 2:07:36 | |
now so when you get an upgrade, it
is not that much different compared | 2:07:36 | 2:07:40 | |
to previous ones you might have had
so therefore they are saying people | 2:07:40 | 2:07:43 | |
aren't willing to spend extra money
so that's putting pressure on them | 2:07:43 | 2:07:46 | |
and it's the fact that at the
moment, things are getting a bit | 2:07:46 | 2:07:52 | |
pricier, we saw yesterday with the
inflation figures that food and | 2:07:52 | 2:07:55 | |
travel costs are going up for
people. So people don't have as much | 2:07:55 | 2:07:59 | |
money to spend on electricals that
you would get in Currys or one of | 2:07:59 | 2:08:05 | |
their stores with mobiles and
electrical items so that's been a | 2:08:05 | 2:08:08 | |
pressure for them. Steph, thank you
very much. You'll be back with us | 2:08:08 | 2:08:11 | |
later. Thank you. | 2:08:11 | 2:08:16 | |
There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 2:08:16 | 2:08:19 | |
to improve for years. | 2:08:19 | 2:08:20 | |
That's according to the Chief
Inspector of Schools. | 2:08:20 | 2:08:22 | |
Amanda Spielman says this includes
more than a hundred which for more | 2:08:22 | 2:08:25 | |
than a decade have never been rated
as "good" by Ofsted. | 2:08:25 | 2:08:28 | |
The Government says it's targeting
additional help at areas | 2:08:28 | 2:08:30 | |
that are struggling. | 2:08:30 | 2:08:31 | |
Jon Donnison reports. | 2:08:31 | 2:08:33 | |
Good afternoon.
So this is English. | 2:08:33 | 2:08:38 | |
Children's at St Peter's secondary
school in Huntington | 2:08:38 | 2:08:39 | |
in Cambridgeshire. | 2:08:39 | 2:08:42 | |
In 2016, Ofsted judged this school
inadequate in some areas | 2:08:42 | 2:08:45 | |
and it was put on special measures
after years of problems. | 2:08:45 | 2:08:49 | |
18 months on, it has been turned
around and is now ranked | 2:08:49 | 2:08:52 | |
as good in most fields. | 2:08:52 | 2:08:57 | |
Amanda Spielman, Ofsted's Chief
Inspector of Schools in England, | 2:08:57 | 2:08:59 | |
visited St Peter's this month
and is full of praise | 2:08:59 | 2:09:02 | |
for what's been achieved. | 2:09:02 | 2:09:03 | |
But not all schools do so well. | 2:09:03 | 2:09:07 | |
Ofsted says there are 50 secondary
schools and 80 primary schools | 2:09:07 | 2:09:11 | |
in England that haven't been judged
to be good at any point since 2005. | 2:09:11 | 2:09:15 | |
For 12 years now, they haven't
been managed to be good | 2:09:15 | 2:09:18 | |
at any point in that. | 2:09:18 | 2:09:20 | |
So, a child's time in a typical
secondary school is five years. | 2:09:20 | 2:09:29 | |
That means we're on to a third
generation of children who have | 2:09:29 | 2:09:32 | |
never experienced being in a good
school and we shouldn't | 2:09:32 | 2:09:35 | |
be happy with that. | 2:09:35 | 2:09:36 | |
But teachers unions say the stigma
of a bad Ofsted report can often | 2:09:36 | 2:09:39 | |
push a school into a negative
spiral, where parents don't | 2:09:39 | 2:09:41 | |
want to send their children
there and where recruitment | 2:09:41 | 2:09:43 | |
of teachers becomes hard. | 2:09:43 | 2:09:45 | |
They also say many schools are under
funded, but the Government says | 2:09:45 | 2:09:48 | |
it's spending £280 million to give
extra help to schools this | 2:09:48 | 2:09:54 | |
it's spending £280 million to give
extra help to schools in designated | 2:09:54 | 2:09:57 | |
opportunity areas including
providing extra | 2:09:57 | 2:09:58 | |
training for teachers. | 2:09:58 | 2:10:00 | |
Theresa May is facing a potential
backbench rebellion later when MPs | 2:10:01 | 2:10:07 | |
vote on amendments to the
EU Withdrawal Bill. | 2:10:07 | 2:10:12 | |
A group of Tory MPs, led by former
Attorney-General Dominic Grieve, | 2:10:12 | 2:10:15 | |
want to force ministers to give
Parliament a meaningful vote | 2:10:15 | 2:10:17 | |
on any final Brexit deal. | 2:10:17 | 2:10:19 | |
The Prime Minister has said that
ministers are listening to the | 2:10:19 | 2:10:22 | |
concerns of Conservative | 2:10:22 | 2:10:26 | |
London's Euston station will be
turned into a shelter | 2:10:27 | 2:10:29 | |
for the homeless on Christmas Day. | 2:10:29 | 2:10:30 | |
The station concourse will be filled
with decorations and tables set | 2:10:30 | 2:10:33 | |
for a full festive dinner. | 2:10:33 | 2:10:35 | |
Rail workers and charity staff
will serve food to 200 rough | 2:10:35 | 2:10:38 | |
sleepers invited to the event. | 2:10:38 | 2:10:48 | |
The eighth episode in the franchise,
the Last Jedi, gets its cinema | 2:10:51 | 2:10:54 | |
release at midnight tonight. | 2:10:54 | 2:10:59 | |
The fans were out. | 2:10:59 | 2:11:04 | |
But last night the film's stars,
including British actors | 2:11:04 | 2:11:06 | |
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega,
were on the red carpet in London | 2:11:06 | 2:11:09 | |
for its European premiere. | 2:11:09 | 2:11:15 | |
Do social media companies need to do
more to tackle what's | 2:11:15 | 2:11:20 | |
being described as
"vile and threatening behaviour" | 2:11:20 | 2:11:21 | |
aimed at politicians? | 2:11:21 | 2:11:23 | |
The ethics watchdog, the Committee
on Standards in Public Life, | 2:11:23 | 2:11:26 | |
says firms should be fined
if they fail to deal | 2:11:26 | 2:11:28 | |
with abusive content. | 2:11:28 | 2:11:30 | |
It comes after a raft
of MPs were targeted | 2:11:30 | 2:11:34 | |
during the general election in June. | 2:11:34 | 2:11:37 | |
Labour's Diane Abbott was one
high-profile victim. | 2:11:37 | 2:11:39 | |
Many of the biggest companies say
they are already dealing | 2:11:39 | 2:11:44 | |
with the problem. | 2:11:44 | 2:11:45 | |
Twitter says it can
permanently suspend accounts | 2:11:45 | 2:11:47 | |
that post abusive material. | 2:11:47 | 2:11:48 | |
Facebook says it will remove
sensitive posts and comments that | 2:11:48 | 2:11:53 | |
threaten others. | 2:11:53 | 2:11:57 | |
YouTube has removed over 150,000
violent videos since June. | 2:11:57 | 2:11:59 | |
Joining us from our Westminster
studio is the chair of the committee | 2:11:59 | 2:12:02 | |
behind today's report,
Lord Bew. | 2:12:02 | 2:12:04 | |
Good morning. Thank you very much
indeed for joining us. Good morning. | 2:12:04 | 2:12:07 | |
Just give us a sense of the kind of
things that MPs were getting. I mean | 2:12:07 | 2:12:14 | |
found some of it quite disturbing?
The sheer relentless volume. I mean | 2:12:14 | 2:12:20 | |
one thing that stays in my mind, you
mentioned Diane Abbott and talking | 2:12:20 | 2:12:24 | |
to her staff, and how they just
spend their breakfast ritual is | 2:12:24 | 2:12:29 | |
porridge in one hand and finger in
the other hand deleting the stuff | 2:12:29 | 2:12:32 | |
that comes in and women particularly
do suffer. Amnesty International | 2:12:32 | 2:12:38 | |
have said that all the women MPs who
have gone on Twitter have received | 2:12:38 | 2:12:43 | |
this sort of intimidatory abuse so
it's a real problem, illegal | 2:12:43 | 2:12:49 | |
content, intimidatory abuse. In
public life you have to take a | 2:12:49 | 2:12:52 | |
certain amount of abuse. Our concern
is with the sort of abuse which | 2:12:52 | 2:12:56 | |
might make people less likely to
appear in public life and that's | 2:12:56 | 2:12:59 | |
what's driving our report here. OK.
Of course, it is not just people in | 2:12:59 | 2:13:04 | |
public life that can get abuse. So,
you're looking from an MP's point of | 2:13:04 | 2:13:09 | |
view, what about for other people?
Well, I think, when we first started | 2:13:09 | 2:13:14 | |
this inquiry, a lot of people wrote
to us and said, you're trying to | 2:13:14 | 2:13:19 | |
protect a pampered elite, politics
has always been a rough trade. I | 2:13:19 | 2:13:23 | |
think what we have to say here is
there, is in everybody's interests | 2:13:23 | 2:13:28 | |
that the parties come together and
the party leaderships come together | 2:13:28 | 2:13:31 | |
and agree a code of conduct to
protect our Parliamentary democracy. | 2:13:31 | 2:13:35 | |
I think that's the core point here
that we have to have some kind of | 2:13:35 | 2:13:41 | |
coming together to protect what is
really important, not just to MPs, | 2:13:41 | 2:13:45 | |
they're just in many ways the
servants to the public, but | 2:13:45 | 2:13:49 | |
important to the public as a whole.
This is not a report about | 2:13:49 | 2:13:54 | |
protecting privileged members of
Parliament. Indeed, later on today, | 2:13:54 | 2:13:56 | |
we are going to publish some figures
about how the public views the | 2:13:56 | 2:14:00 | |
conduct of MPs. It's not about that.
It's about actually trying to | 2:14:00 | 2:14:05 | |
protect what matters to everybody,
to all the millions of people who | 2:14:05 | 2:14:09 | |
live in this country, the strength
of our democracy. What will you do | 2:14:09 | 2:14:14 | |
in a practical level? Will you go
after the social media companies and | 2:14:14 | 2:14:18 | |
how will that happen? We are in
position to do that. We have | 2:14:18 | 2:14:23 | |
advanced an argument which we would
not have advanced if we thought the | 2:14:23 | 2:14:29 | |
take down rates were not impressive.
We would not have gone down this | 2:14:29 | 2:14:33 | |
route. We published our
conversations with the social media | 2:14:33 | 2:14:36 | |
companies where the frustrations of
my committee actually lie. We should | 2:14:36 | 2:14:40 | |
consider action here. Remember the
underlying legislative focus here | 2:14:40 | 2:14:47 | |
comes from the EU's, ecommerce
directive of 2000. 17 years ago when | 2:14:47 | 2:14:52 | |
the companies were really fledging
businesses, they are now | 2:14:52 | 2:14:57 | |
multi-million dollar businesses
which have a huge impact on our | 2:14:57 | 2:15:00 | |
public life and we have said that
Parliament should give consideration | 2:15:00 | 2:15:02 | |
to this and that's the key thing
here and it is really, we hope that | 2:15:02 | 2:15:12 | |
serious consideration is given to
movement. Conversation, it is | 2:15:12 | 2:15:15 | |
getting some results, but not
enough. | 2:15:15 | 2:15:26 | |
We have seen people prosecuted for
things they have said on social | 2:15:26 | 2:15:29 | |
media, CDs think that is likely to
increase as well? Yes, we do. There | 2:15:29 | 2:15:38 | |
is a very good parliamentary liaison
team which works with MPs, and MPs | 2:15:38 | 2:15:44 | |
should also work more closely with
that group, including the police. | 2:15:44 | 2:15:48 | |
The resource recommendation to the
senior police officers in the | 2:15:48 | 2:15:52 | |
country to realise social media
presents new problems. Our sense | 2:15:52 | 2:15:55 | |
that not every police force in the
country was equally advanced in | 2:15:55 | 2:15:59 | |
their understanding of how those
problems operate and affect the | 2:15:59 | 2:16:04 | |
political life of the country. Thank
you very much for talking to us. | 2:16:04 | 2:16:18 | |
Baby Venellope Hope Wilkins has
defied the odds after being born | 2:16:24 | 2:16:36 | |
with her heart outside of her body.
Fergus Walsh has been speaking to | 2:16:36 | 2:16:39 | |
her parents. | 2:16:39 | 2:16:49 | |
It was scary. We had been advised to
terminate. We didn't see that as an | 2:16:56 | 2:17:00 | |
option. Unless there was like loads
of different things wrong with her. | 2:17:00 | 2:17:07 | |
Nobody believed she was going to
make it. But the two of you did? I | 2:17:07 | 2:17:13 | |
think that's why we named her what
we did, Venellope Hope, we were | 2:17:13 | 2:17:24 | |
watching a film with the kids,
called wreck-It Ralph, and it fit | 2:17:24 | 2:17:33 | |
perfectly. She is a tough character
with a lot of attitude, and she | 2:17:33 | 2:17:41 | |
shows it, as well. She has got more
strength than you could ever | 2:17:41 | 2:17:44 | |
imagine.
It is an amazing story. A consultant | 2:17:44 | 2:17:50 | |
in fatal cardiology at Glenfield
Hospital where Venellope is being | 2:17:50 | 2:17:57 | |
treated, joins us now. It has had a
huge reaction from viewers this | 2:17:57 | 2:18:00 | |
morning. We can talk about the
detail and how you went through the | 2:18:00 | 2:18:04 | |
various operations, but how is
Venellope doing now? She's doing | 2:18:04 | 2:18:09 | |
really well. I haven't seen her this
morning, but as of yesterday | 2:18:09 | 2:18:14 | |
evening, she was wriggling around
and making her presence felt. So | 2:18:14 | 2:18:22 | |
eight in a million chance of
survival, as far as we know the | 2:18:22 | 2:18:25 | |
first chance a baby born in this way
has survived. How difficult was that | 2:18:25 | 2:18:32 | |
to go through, the making decisions
and with the family as well? The | 2:18:32 | 2:18:38 | |
medical discussion is always
difficult, because you've got to | 2:18:38 | 2:18:41 | |
provide the family with information.
The likelihood when I first saw this | 2:18:41 | 2:18:46 | |
couple at 16 weeks gestation, the
likelihood of his baby surviving was | 2:18:46 | 2:18:52 | |
essentially zero. You have to go
through that with them. But you can | 2:18:52 | 2:18:56 | |
never say never, and the choice is
theirs. They made the choice, | 2:18:56 | 2:19:01 | |
informed by chromosome tests and
other information, that they wanted | 2:19:01 | 2:19:04 | |
to continue, and we were prepared to
support that choice. We couldn't | 2:19:04 | 2:19:08 | |
give them any guarantees. We
monitored things along with the | 2:19:08 | 2:19:12 | |
Nottingham team through the
pregnancy. As things got closer | 2:19:12 | 2:19:15 | |
towards her being viable, being old
enough to be born safely, we were | 2:19:15 | 2:19:20 | |
then able to make some plans to try
and facilitate that. We had to get | 2:19:20 | 2:19:24 | |
teams together, the obstetric teams,
the neonatal teams, the plastic | 2:19:24 | 2:19:29 | |
surgery, bowel surgery teams
together, so it was quite a big team | 2:19:29 | 2:19:34 | |
to assemble and get in place. We can
see Naomi and Dean with a little | 2:19:34 | 2:19:41 | |
Venellope on the screen now. Tell us
more about the operation. She was | 2:19:41 | 2:19:46 | |
born with heart outside of her body.
Is the process then of trying, | 2:19:46 | 2:19:53 | |
because there is no sternum, no rib
cage, how difficult is it to get | 2:19:53 | 2:19:56 | |
that heart back inside and working?
I didn't have to do it. My skilled | 2:19:56 | 2:20:03 | |
surgical colleagues did that. But it
is partly something that people do | 2:20:03 | 2:20:09 | |
every day when we do open heart
surgery on babies, the heart often | 2:20:09 | 2:20:13 | |
doesn't fit back in the chest
straightaway, so there is quite a | 2:20:13 | 2:20:16 | |
lot of expertise in parts of that,
and in covering baby's heart was the | 2:20:16 | 2:20:23 | |
chest is open. The big thing for her
is to make space, and the fact that | 2:20:23 | 2:20:27 | |
she hasn't got a breastbone to close
over it, so we have had to | 2:20:27 | 2:20:31 | |
manufacture a covering for the
heart, initially a temporary one, | 2:20:31 | 2:20:34 | |
and now we are making one or
permanent to stretch the skin across | 2:20:34 | 2:20:39 | |
the front and keep the heart sealed
and safe and covered. It is amazing | 2:20:39 | 2:20:44 | |
to hear you describe what little
Venellope has been going through, | 2:20:44 | 2:20:48 | |
and her mum says she is a fighter.
At what point during that process, | 2:20:48 | 2:20:54 | |
was there hope from that team and
from yourself? When did you think, | 2:20:54 | 2:20:59 | |
do you know what, there is a chance
that Venellope is going to survive. | 2:20:59 | 2:21:03 | |
The first step was getting her
safely out of the womb, anything | 2:21:03 | 2:21:06 | |
could have gone wrong at that stage,
she might not have been able to | 2:21:06 | 2:21:09 | |
breathe, the heart might not have
been able to beat outside the womb, | 2:21:09 | 2:21:13 | |
so the longer she goes on without
major publications or infection, the | 2:21:13 | 2:21:17 | |
more hope we have. There are lots of
things we can do to support babies | 2:21:17 | 2:21:22 | |
as they grow, even if they have
problems with breathing, we can help | 2:21:22 | 2:21:26 | |
with that long term. There are no
guarantees, there is a long way to | 2:21:26 | 2:21:29 | |
go, but she is doing OK so far. And
watches her future like? Watmore | 2:21:29 | 2:21:35 | |
will she have to go through? She
will need more surgeries, there is | 2:21:35 | 2:21:39 | |
no doubt about that. I can't predict
how many. She still has open wounds | 2:21:39 | 2:21:43 | |
on the side of her chest where we
had to move the skin forward to | 2:21:43 | 2:21:46 | |
cover the front of it, and those
need to heal. She has chest drains | 2:21:46 | 2:21:50 | |
in because she is leaking fluid
because it is like having a bad | 2:21:50 | 2:21:54 | |
burn. She has got to get off the
breathing machine. At some stage she | 2:21:54 | 2:21:58 | |
will need some hardware inside her
chest to stabilise it more, and she | 2:21:58 | 2:22:03 | |
is totally going to need some
external protection as she tries to | 2:22:03 | 2:22:06 | |
get up and about. Amazing. And I
just wonder as well, having gone | 2:22:06 | 2:22:12 | |
through what they've gone through,
and you have been part of this | 2:22:12 | 2:22:16 | |
process, too. Do you think that what
has happened will give hope to other | 2:22:16 | 2:22:20 | |
parents who find themselves in this
situation going forward? Even though | 2:22:20 | 2:22:23 | |
this case is individual? Each case
is very individual, and not many | 2:22:23 | 2:22:29 | |
babies born or developing with the
heart outside the chest are viable | 2:22:29 | 2:22:33 | |
for other reasons, they've often got
other serious things wrong with | 2:22:33 | 2:22:37 | |
them, and Venellope from that point
of view is fortunate. I think what | 2:22:37 | 2:22:41 | |
it does do is give people hope that
nothing is always impossible. | 2:22:41 | 2:22:48 | |
Sometimes things are too difficult
or not the right thing to do, but it | 2:22:48 | 2:22:53 | |
does mean that if parents are faced
with very difficult choices, they | 2:22:53 | 2:22:56 | |
still have the option of proceeding
expectantly and saying, let's see | 2:22:56 | 2:23:01 | |
how it goes. And I think that that's
not a bad thing. Dr Frances Bu'lock, | 2:23:01 | 2:23:07 | |
thank you for talking to us, the
consultant who has been looking | 2:23:07 | 2:23:10 | |
after baby Venellope, the first baby
to survive with a heart outside the | 2:23:10 | 2:23:15 | |
body.
Wonderful to hear from her, and | 2:23:15 | 2:23:20 | |
Venellope is a little poppet. Makes
you love the NHS! | 2:23:20 | 2:23:25 | |
Tonight is the peak night
of the Geminid meteor shower, | 2:23:25 | 2:23:28 | |
where hundreds of shooting stars can
be seen flying through our skies. | 2:23:28 | 2:23:30 | |
And to tell us how well we might be
able to see them is Matt, | 2:23:30 | 2:23:34 | |
bringing us the weather
from the Greenwich | 2:23:34 | 2:23:36 | |
Royal Observatory. | 2:23:36 | 2:23:38 | |
I have been told of the Smalling for
saying, telling us about that and | 2:23:38 | 2:23:44 | |
the rest of the weather. We know
that meteors are not the weather. | 2:23:44 | 2:23:53 | |
There is definitely a link, you
won't see one without the other | 2:23:53 | 2:23:55 | |
Verhaegh -- behaving itself. There
will be clear skies particularly in | 2:23:55 | 2:24:02 | |
the east, but there will be showers
as well, so you will have to chance | 2:24:02 | 2:24:08 | |
your luck. Let's get straight on
into the forecast this morning. We | 2:24:08 | 2:24:12 | |
still have snow lying on the ground,
but it may not feel like it, it is | 2:24:12 | 2:24:17 | |
the warmest day of the weekend. It
is a fairly cloudy start across the | 2:24:17 | 2:24:21 | |
country, and we have outbreaks of
rain spreading from west to east at | 2:24:21 | 2:24:24 | |
the moment. Even if you are dry at
the moment across eastern counties, | 2:24:24 | 2:24:29 | |
we will start to see | 2:24:29 | 2:24:30 | |
the moment across eastern counties,
we will start to see rain pushing | 2:24:30 | 2:24:31 | |
through during the next hour or so.
Further north as well there will be | 2:24:31 | 2:24:34 | |
a few spots of rain to the east of
the Pennines, showers focused to the | 2:24:34 | 2:24:39 | |
West so far today. And in Scotland,
the showers will be fairly wintry | 2:24:39 | 2:24:44 | |
across the north and west, but
mainly over the hills this time. To | 2:24:44 | 2:24:47 | |
lower levels it will be largely
rain, and that is the story today, | 2:24:47 | 2:24:51 | |
with temperatures higher, the
showers are going to be largely of | 2:24:51 | 2:24:55 | |
rain, but they will gradually turned
to sleet and snow at times, mainly | 2:24:55 | 2:24:59 | |
on the hills, but some of the heavy
bursts could come down to lower | 2:24:59 | 2:25:02 | |
levels, and you can see why the
showers are mainly of rain, | 2:25:02 | 2:25:06 | |
temperatures around 8-11 degrees
rather than just hovering above | 2:25:06 | 2:25:10 | |
freezing. Temperatures in the
Midlands only a few degrees above | 2:25:10 | 2:25:15 | |
freezing at the moment. We will see
the showers move from West to East | 2:25:15 | 2:25:19 | |
on the strength of the breeze, the
air will get colder once again from | 2:25:19 | 2:25:23 | |
the north and west, and the showers
will turn more wintry. We see a band | 2:25:23 | 2:25:27 | |
of heavy showers and gusty winds
spreading across southern counties | 2:25:27 | 2:25:30 | |
of England and Wales, and even those
could contain snow on the higher | 2:25:30 | 2:25:34 | |
ground and give a light dusting of
snow for the evening rush hour. | 2:25:34 | 2:25:38 | |
Temperatures higher than eastern
days, up to double figures for some | 2:25:38 | 2:25:48 | |
in the South. If you are hoping to
see the meteors tonight, your best | 2:25:48 | 2:25:51 | |
chances going to be in the East.
Showers will keep on going in the | 2:25:51 | 2:25:53 | |
West, but you might want to chance
it because there will be some breaks | 2:25:53 | 2:25:56 | |
out there in between the showers,
but those showers will start to turn | 2:25:56 | 2:25:59 | |
increasingly to rain, hail, sleet
and snow, and with clearer skies | 2:25:59 | 2:26:02 | |
into tomorrow morning, frost and
eyes to watch out for once again. | 2:26:02 | 2:26:06 | |
So, a cold start to tomorrow
morning, dry and bright across many | 2:26:06 | 2:26:10 | |
eastern areas, only one or two
showers here. Still some gusty winds | 2:26:10 | 2:26:14 | |
in the south-west of the country,
but wherever you are the West, | 2:26:14 | 2:26:18 | |
heavier showers will come with that
little bit of sleet and snow mixed | 2:26:18 | 2:26:21 | |
in. Mainly over the hills, but
heavier ones on low ground, as well. | 2:26:21 | 2:26:26 | |
Colder still into Friday as winds go
northerly, that means north and east | 2:26:26 | 2:26:31 | |
of Scotland and North East England
more likely to see showers once | 2:26:31 | 2:26:34 | |
again, and showers for the far west
of Wales and also into Cornwall. But | 2:26:34 | 2:26:38 | |
mostly on Friday after a frosty and
icy start, and dry and clear day. | 2:26:38 | 2:26:43 | |
Join me again here at the royal
Observatory in Greenwich in around | 2:26:43 | 2:26:47 | |
half an hour, we will be speaking to
an astronomer who can tell us more | 2:26:47 | 2:26:50 | |
about what to expect from this
year's media shower. | 2:26:50 | 2:26:54 | |
I shall look forward to it, thank
you | 2:26:54 | 2:26:57 | |
I shall look forward to it, thank
you very much. We have Simon Callow, | 2:26:57 | 2:26:59 | |
and we are talking to a man, really
famous photographer, but he is | 2:26:59 | 2:27:03 | |
blind. And someone who can help us
with our singing! Time neither the | 2:27:03 | 2:27:09 | |
news, | 2:27:09 | 2:30:25 | |
I'm back with more in half an hour.
news, | 2:30:25 | 2:30:27 | |
Hello this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 2:30:32 | 2:30:39 | |
It is exactly 8:30am. Thank you for
being with us this morning, I remind | 2:30:39 | 2:30:44 | |
of our main stories. | 2:30:44 | 2:30:45 | |
A baby girl born with her heart
outside her body has survived | 2:30:45 | 2:30:48 | |
in what's thought to be a first
in the UK. | 2:30:48 | 2:30:50 | |
Vanellope Hope Wilkins,
who is three weeks old, | 2:30:50 | 2:30:52 | |
has undergone three operations
at Glenfield Hospital | 2:30:52 | 2:30:54 | |
in Leicester to place her heart
back within her chest. | 2:30:54 | 2:31:00 | |
The condition - ectopia cordis -
is extremely rare, with only a few | 2:31:00 | 2:31:03 | |
cases per million births. | 2:31:03 | 2:31:04 | |
Her parents have described
her as a fighter. | 2:31:04 | 2:31:08 | |
In a major political upset
in America, Doug Jones has become | 2:31:09 | 2:31:12 | |
the first Democrat in 25 years
to win a US Senate seat for Alabama. | 2:31:12 | 2:31:15 | |
It follows a bitter campaign
against Republican Roy Moore, | 2:31:15 | 2:31:18 | |
who has so far refused
to concede the result. | 2:31:18 | 2:31:22 | |
President Donald Trump congratulated
Doug Jones on a hard-fought victory. | 2:31:22 | 2:31:27 | |
Two people have been charged
with murder over the deaths of three | 2:31:27 | 2:31:32 | |
children in a house fire in Salford,
Greater Manchester on Monday. | 2:31:32 | 2:31:35 | |
23-year-old Zac Bolland
and 20-year-old Courtney Brierley | 2:31:35 | 2:31:37 | |
are due in court later. | 2:31:37 | 2:31:39 | |
The children's mother
and their three-year-old sister | 2:31:39 | 2:31:43 | |
remain in hospital this morning. | 2:31:43 | 2:31:45 | |
There are more than 700 schools
in England that have been struggling | 2:31:45 | 2:31:48 | |
to improve for years,
that's according to the Chief | 2:31:48 | 2:31:50 | |
Inspector of Schools. | 2:31:50 | 2:31:52 | |
Amanda Spielman says this includes
more than a 100 which for more | 2:31:52 | 2:31:56 | |
than a decade have never been rated
as "good" by Ofsted. | 2:31:56 | 2:31:59 | |
The government says it's targeting
additional help at areas | 2:31:59 | 2:32:01 | |
that are struggling. | 2:32:01 | 2:32:07 | |
Theresa May is facing a potential
backbench rebellion later when MPs | 2:32:07 | 2:32:09 | |
vote on amendments to the EU
Withdrawal Bill. | 2:32:09 | 2:32:11 | |
A group of Tory MPs, led by former
Attorney General Dominic Grieve, | 2:32:11 | 2:32:14 | |
want to force ministers to give
Parliament a meaningful vote | 2:32:14 | 2:32:16 | |
on any final Brexit deal. | 2:32:16 | 2:32:18 | |
The Prime Minister has said that
ministers are listening | 2:32:18 | 2:32:20 | |
to the concerns of Conservative MPs. | 2:32:20 | 2:32:27 | |
Thousands of children
in the Democratic Republic of Congo | 2:32:27 | 2:32:30 | |
are severly malnourished
and could die within a year | 2:32:30 | 2:32:32 | |
without emergency support. | 2:32:32 | 2:32:34 | |
That's according to the United
Nations, which has declared | 2:32:34 | 2:32:37 | |
the crisis as the highest
state of emergency. | 2:32:37 | 2:32:39 | |
Nearly 1.5 million people have been
displaced from their homes | 2:32:39 | 2:32:42 | |
following violent clashes that
began last year. | 2:32:42 | 2:32:45 | |
Social media companies should face
fines or prosecution if they do not | 2:32:45 | 2:32:48 | |
deal with online abuse. | 2:32:48 | 2:32:49 | |
That's according to a report
from the ethics watchdog, | 2:32:49 | 2:32:51 | |
the Committee on Standards in Public
Life. | 2:32:51 | 2:32:53 | |
It examined online harrassement of
MPs during June's general election. | 2:32:53 | 2:32:57 | |
Currently social media companies say
they cannot control the millions | 2:32:57 | 2:32:59 | |
of messages that go up. | 2:32:59 | 2:33:04 | |
You know we haven't seen for a
while? 20 people playing a piano! | 2:33:09 | 2:33:15 | |
PIANO PLAYING. | 2:33:16 | 2:33:20 | |
It's a world record. | 2:33:20 | 2:33:23 | |
It's the most number
of people playing a piano | 2:33:23 | 2:33:25 | |
piece at the same time. | 2:33:25 | 2:33:27 | |
20 Bosnian youngsters
have set the record | 2:33:27 | 2:33:28 | |
with the performance in Sarajevo. | 2:33:28 | 2:33:30 | |
The previous record was 18 people
playing the same piece | 2:33:30 | 2:33:32 | |
simultaneously in Italy in 2014. | 2:33:32 | 2:33:36 | |
It is interesting how they divide up
the part, I would be happy with one | 2:33:36 | 2:33:40 | |
note! | 2:33:40 | 2:33:47 | |
And coming up here
on Breakfast this morning. | 2:33:47 | 2:33:49 | |
"Ebenezer Scrooge! | 2:33:49 | 2:33:53 | |
Come in, man!" | 2:33:53 | 2:33:59 | |
"A Christmas Carol" as read
by Simon Callow, he'll be | 2:33:59 | 2:34:01 | |
here to explain why Charles Dickens'
classic story still resonates today. | 2:34:01 | 2:34:06 | |
He's taken pictures of everyone
from the Queen to David Beckham | 2:34:06 | 2:34:09 | |
despite being legally
blind since birth. | 2:34:09 | 2:34:10 | |
We'll speak to
photographer David Katz. | 2:34:10 | 2:34:18 | |
VOCAL WARM-UPS. | 2:34:18 | 2:34:25 | |
# Little donkey #. | 2:34:25 | 2:34:31 | |
Looking forward to this! We will be
getting some last minute coaching | 2:34:31 | 2:34:37 | |
ahead of our big singing challenge
which is tonight. | 2:34:37 | 2:34:42 | |
You're still sweating about that!
You're going to be great. It is | 2:34:42 | 2:34:48 | |
tonight at Bridgewater Hall. A very
important story in the sport about | 2:34:48 | 2:34:54 | |
Chris Froome. The four time Tour de
France winner won the Brother at | 2:34:54 | 2:35:01 | |
Espana in September -- the Vuelta.
He had about 20 tests during the | 2:35:01 | 2:35:10 | |
race but after stage 18 his you're
in test had double the amount of a | 2:35:10 | 2:35:16 | |
legal drug called salbutamol -- his
you're in test. It is in common use | 2:35:16 | 2:35:27 | |
for asthma. Double the amount was
found that was permitted by the UCI | 2:35:27 | 2:35:36 | |
and they want an explanation. Team
Sky are saying that he had suffered | 2:35:36 | 2:35:41 | |
from asthma since he was a child and
he took advice from a doctor to | 2:35:41 | 2:35:48 | |
increase his use but he inhaled no
more than the permitted dose. They | 2:35:48 | 2:35:54 | |
could have a reasonable explanation
and it could turn into nothing and | 2:35:54 | 2:35:57 | |
he has not been suspended at the
moment. This is not a doping | 2:35:57 | 2:36:00 | |
violation but there has been a urine
test and double the amount was found | 2:36:00 | 2:36:05 | |
in it. The UCI are asking for an
explanation. And he has given a | 2:36:05 | 2:36:10 | |
statement. They are calling it an
adverse analytical finding and Chris | 2:36:10 | 2:36:15 | |
Froome has said he feels it is right
that the UCI are asking these | 2:36:15 | 2:36:21 | |
questions so now there is a
discussion to be had. He says, "It | 2:36:21 | 2:36:25 | |
is well known that I have asthma and
I know exactly what the rules are | 2:36:25 | 2:36:29 | |
and I use an inhaler to manage my
symptoms come always within the | 2:36:29 | 2:36:34 | |
permissible limits. I know for sure
that I will be tested every day I | 2:36:34 | 2:36:39 | |
wet the race leader's jersey. My
asthma got worse at the Vuelta so I | 2:36:39 | 2:36:45 | |
followed the team doctor's advice to
increase my dosage and as always I | 2:36:45 | 2:36:49 | |
took the greatest care to ensure I
did not use more than the | 2:36:49 | 2:36:53 | |
permissible dose." The threshold is
1000 nanograms per millilitre in | 2:36:53 | 2:37:02 | |
your urine and his was 2000 so that
was what he had to explain. They are | 2:37:02 | 2:37:07 | |
insisting that he has inhaled the
right amount so it is the difference | 2:37:07 | 2:37:11 | |
between what is found in your urine
and how much is inhaled. | 2:37:11 | 2:37:18 | |
Let's go to the Premier League now. | 2:37:19 | 2:37:21 | |
The Burnley manager, Sean Dyche,
said football is about dreams | 2:37:21 | 2:37:23 | |
after their 1-0 over Stoke City
moved his side into the top four. | 2:37:23 | 2:37:26 | |
A late goal by substitute
Ashley Barnes put them | 2:37:26 | 2:37:29 | |
into the Champions League places. | 2:37:29 | 2:37:31 | |
They climb above Liverpool
and Arsenal, who play this evening. | 2:37:31 | 2:37:35 | |
The reality is, we've got another
tough game on Saturday. | 2:37:35 | 2:37:37 | |
We are enjoying this, of course. | 2:37:37 | 2:37:38 | |
The players have earned
the right to enjoy this. | 2:37:38 | 2:37:41 | |
But the next game comes quickly
on Saturday and that's my focus. | 2:37:41 | 2:37:45 | |
I'm really pleased with the lads
tonight, a different way of finding | 2:37:45 | 2:37:48 | |
results and we had to work hard
for it tonight, grinding it out. | 2:37:48 | 2:37:53 | |
But Thursday, we will
look to recover, and we | 2:37:53 | 2:37:55 | |
look to the next one. | 2:37:55 | 2:37:58 | |
Crystal Palace are out of the bottom
three for the first time this season | 2:37:58 | 2:38:02 | |
after they scored twice in the final
few minutes to beat Watford. | 2:38:02 | 2:38:04 | |
Palace were a goal down
but turned it around | 2:38:04 | 2:38:06 | |
after Watford had a man sent off. | 2:38:06 | 2:38:08 | |
Chelsea also beat Huddersfield. | 2:38:08 | 2:38:13 | |
And that's all we've got time for.
Thank you. | 2:38:13 | 2:38:18 | |
From royalty to rock stars,
he's captured some of the most | 2:38:18 | 2:38:21 | |
famous faces of our time. | 2:38:21 | 2:38:22 | |
Many will have seen his work
in the international | 2:38:22 | 2:38:24 | |
press over the years. | 2:38:24 | 2:38:25 | |
But few will know that David Katz,
the photographer behind | 2:38:25 | 2:38:28 | |
the striking images,
is legally blind. | 2:38:28 | 2:38:33 | |
Worried that his disability
could curtail his career, | 2:38:33 | 2:38:35 | |
David made a decision to keep it
hidden from most people, until now. | 2:38:35 | 2:38:38 | |
We'll speak to him in a moment,
but first let's take a look | 2:38:38 | 2:38:41 | |
at his new documentary. | 2:38:41 | 2:38:43 | |
He was and is an amazing
photographer. | 2:38:44 | 2:38:46 | |
I think he has an amazing eye. | 2:38:46 | 2:38:51 | |
By the time I was 16,
I was already working for the local | 2:38:51 | 2:38:55 | |
newspaper. | 2:38:55 | 2:38:56 | |
By the time I was 19,
I had turned professional and was | 2:38:56 | 2:38:59 | |
working at the Daily
Mail in Fleet Street. | 2:38:59 | 2:39:02 | |
David, by then, was already very
well known and they knew his | 2:39:02 | 2:39:05 | |
skill level. | 2:39:05 | 2:39:07 | |
If I knew the job, and I wanted it
done properly, I would | 2:39:07 | 2:39:10 | |
go to him and no one else. | 2:39:10 | 2:39:12 | |
I worked very hard to
develop my skill as a | 2:39:12 | 2:39:15 | |
professional photographer
and I was able to photograph royals, | 2:39:15 | 2:39:17 | |
politicians, celebrities. | 2:39:17 | 2:39:21 | |
He was more than just
a photographer, you | 2:39:21 | 2:39:23 | |
know, I worked with
photographers who came, | 2:39:23 | 2:39:26 | |
took their photos and went
but | 2:39:26 | 2:39:28 | |
David, he was passionate. | 2:39:28 | 2:39:30 | |
You can get lucky but
David was consistent. | 2:39:30 | 2:39:33 | |
David was consistent
in all his photography. | 2:39:33 | 2:39:39 | |
The one small problem with that
story is that from birth, I | 2:39:39 | 2:39:42 | |
have actually been legally blind. | 2:39:42 | 2:39:48 | |
David Katz joins us now. | 2:39:48 | 2:39:52 | |
It is an amazing story. Take us back
to when you were little because your | 2:39:52 | 2:39:58 | |
mum and dad knew when you were very
small that you had problems with | 2:39:58 | 2:40:02 | |
your site. They did, from about
three months old, my grandmother | 2:40:02 | 2:40:07 | |
spotted some movement in my eyes and
they got to a specialist | 2:40:07 | 2:40:13 | |
straightaway at Great Ormond Street
Hospital stop so what can you see | 2:40:13 | 2:40:16 | |
and what can't you see? | 2:40:16 | 2:40:19 | |
It's always relative because I'm not
familiar with how other people see | 2:40:21 | 2:40:25 | |
but as an example to people that
would sit in the Doctor's surgery, | 2:40:25 | 2:40:32 | |
an optician, most people could read
down to the second from bottom row | 2:40:32 | 2:40:37 | |
with or without glasses. In my right
eye I would not be able to actually | 2:40:37 | 2:40:44 | |
see the box where the letters are
and with my left, on a very good day | 2:40:44 | 2:40:49 | |
I might be able to read the top
letter. That gives people an idea | 2:40:49 | 2:40:53 | |
but it is also to do with depth
perception and contrast and | 2:40:53 | 2:41:00 | |
photophobia which is bright lights.
And you found that looking through a | 2:41:00 | 2:41:06 | |
camera in some ways opened up a new
world? Yes, I saw things in a | 2:41:06 | 2:41:15 | |
certain way in my head and when I
got my hands on a camera I was able | 2:41:15 | 2:41:19 | |
to see things the way, more like the
way I felt you would see them. We | 2:41:19 | 2:41:25 | |
can see some of your pictures. Some
of the politicians. Looking back, I | 2:41:25 | 2:41:31 | |
can see you smiling looking at them,
does it take you back to the moment | 2:41:31 | 2:41:36 | |
and what was happening around it?
Every picture has its own personal | 2:41:36 | 2:41:40 | |
story. Tony Blair playing the
guitar. I was only one of two | 2:41:40 | 2:41:47 | |
photographers allowed into that
school to date the pictures and he | 2:41:47 | 2:41:50 | |
was more comfortable than he would
have been in front the mainstream | 2:41:50 | 2:41:53 | |
media. We know that he loves music
and the guitar and he started to | 2:41:53 | 2:41:58 | |
play. I don't think he was even
bothered about the pictures, he just | 2:41:58 | 2:42:03 | |
played and that was why it was so
natural. And some pictures of | 2:42:03 | 2:42:07 | |
royalty including the Queen who you
have photographed over the years. | 2:42:07 | 2:42:12 | |
What do you want from a photograph?
I just want to be able to portray to | 2:42:12 | 2:42:19 | |
the person viewing it what I'm
seeing when I'm taking it. And | 2:42:19 | 2:42:24 | |
wonderful images, you are also very
good at sport, what are you looking | 2:42:24 | 2:42:28 | |
for there? I always loved action, I
had to watch football or sport with | 2:42:28 | 2:42:35 | |
binoculars and those used to looking
through lenses and from whenever I | 2:42:35 | 2:42:39 | |
can remember I just loved action and
capturing a moment. And the thing | 2:42:39 | 2:42:45 | |
you push yourself hardest as a
photographer, to capture that moment | 2:42:45 | 2:42:51 | |
and to do it with a vision
impairment was something I enjoyed | 2:42:51 | 2:42:55 | |
the challenge and being able to
prove I could do it. As it says in | 2:42:55 | 2:42:59 | |
the film, there is no such word as
can't. And nobody you were working | 2:42:59 | 2:43:05 | |
with new about it! It was a personal
challenge. That is correct, I was | 2:43:05 | 2:43:13 | |
not hiding it but it was something I
kept separate because I wanted to | 2:43:13 | 2:43:17 | |
get to this day where I could speak
publicly about it to help children | 2:43:17 | 2:43:22 | |
and their parents, children with
visual impairments, in a way my | 2:43:22 | 2:43:30 | |
parents did not help when I was
growing up because the information | 2:43:30 | 2:43:35 | |
and the accessibility to the
condition is actually not as good as | 2:43:35 | 2:43:40 | |
you would think. A lot of kids are
still being told you can't do this | 2:43:40 | 2:43:47 | |
like my parents were and that's not
acceptable to me and I'm doing | 2:43:47 | 2:43:50 | |
everything I can to make sure that,
through the film, kids can see there | 2:43:50 | 2:43:57 | |
is no such word as can't. If a
photographer can achieve | 2:43:57 | 2:44:02 | |
international acclaim with a visual
impairment and legal blindness, | 2:44:02 | 2:44:08 | |
anybody can do anything and that is
the message of the film. It is a | 2:44:08 | 2:44:13 | |
very powerful message. When you are
sitting down with people like any | 2:44:13 | 2:44:18 | |
White House in the past, some of the
other celebrities, how much of your | 2:44:18 | 2:44:22 | |
job is putting them at ease and the
chat before you take the picture | 2:44:22 | 2:44:28 | |
that is tell the story? It is as
important as your job is putting be | 2:44:28 | 2:44:33 | |
put at ease! It is very important
because if somebody is not at ease | 2:44:33 | 2:44:37 | |
as you know, they will not come
across naturally but if somebody is | 2:44:37 | 2:44:42 | |
comfortable they will come across a
lot more naturally. Amy was | 2:44:42 | 2:44:48 | |
particularly uncomfortable that
night and generally in front of | 2:44:48 | 2:44:50 | |
cameras. But it was just me and her
on the stage that night and she just | 2:44:50 | 2:44:56 | |
did her thing and when she did that,
her true talent and gift came | 2:44:56 | 2:45:01 | |
through the same way I feel mine
does behind the camera. The | 2:45:01 | 2:45:05 | |
intensity of that photograph is
something. And as we mentioned, many | 2:45:05 | 2:45:10 | |
of your friends did not know and
people you worked with and in the | 2:45:10 | 2:45:14 | |
film you tell them. What did the big
thing for you, to think, I'm going | 2:45:14 | 2:45:17 | |
to tell them? | 2:45:17 | 2:45:23 | |
It was massive, what I'd geared up
to for a very long time and I had to | 2:45:23 | 2:45:26 | |
get myself ready with inside work
and physically to get to that stage | 2:45:26 | 2:45:33 | |
where I was ready to talk about it
and I first spoke to one of my | 2:45:33 | 2:45:37 | |
closest friends who is in the film,
Mark Silver, about it and my friend | 2:45:37 | 2:45:42 | |
Chris Morgan already knew, Sharon
and Danny didn't so it was a big | 2:45:42 | 2:45:48 | |
shock. We called that on camera.
Through this, I am working with Mark | 2:45:48 | 2:45:54 | |
in partnership to actually bring the
whole story about through his | 2:45:54 | 2:45:57 | |
company and this has led me to
meeting Wladimir Klitschko. You're | 2:45:57 | 2:46:06 | |
working with you now? Ryder he's got
a wonderful organisation called | 2:46:06 | 2:46:10 | |
Challenge Cup eMac Management. That
is the picture of him. We did that | 2:46:10 | 2:46:14 | |
recently, I had a lot of respect for
him and we were featured in the same | 2:46:14 | 2:46:18 | |
magazine in Germany recently. There
was the opportunity to meet him a | 2:46:18 | 2:46:24 | |
few weeks ago. Out of retirement, he
wants to be doing exactly this, to | 2:46:24 | 2:46:30 | |
help motivate people, to show what
can be achieved from adversity. He | 2:46:30 | 2:46:34 | |
came from adversity to be the
champion of the world and retired | 2:46:34 | 2:46:38 | |
with huge dignity. I love his story
and his background and he loves | 2:46:38 | 2:46:42 | |
mine. We are hopefully working
together, I have actually been | 2:46:42 | 2:46:49 | |
invited by him tonight to an event
which is something I am very much | 2:46:49 | 2:46:54 | |
looking forward to but it is so
important to me to be able through | 2:46:54 | 2:46:57 | |
the film, to be able to get the
message out there, that everything | 2:46:57 | 2:47:03 | |
is possible and there is no such
word as Kant. It is a brilliant | 2:47:03 | 2:47:06 | |
message and lovely to speak to you.
Thank you for joining us. | 2:47:06 | 2:47:10 | |
David's film is called
"Through My Lenses" and | 2:47:10 | 2:47:12 | |
is available to watch online. | 2:47:12 | 2:47:15 | |
Thank you both. It is a powerful
message. | 2:47:15 | 2:47:19 | |
Matt promised us earlier he was
going to speak to someone about | 2:47:19 | 2:47:23 | |
where to best get a picture of the
media shout the night. Now he's | 2:47:23 | 2:47:27 | |
outside the Royal Observatory. Good
morning. | 2:47:27 | 2:47:29 | |
outside the Royal Observatory. Good
morning. Good morning, Dan, and | 2:47:29 | 2:47:34 | |
everyone, I'm outside the Royal
Observatory in Greenwich and as | 2:47:34 | 2:47:37 | |
promised, to learn a bit more about
the Geminid media shower which peeks | 2:47:37 | 2:47:40 | |
through tonight, joining me is Tom,
one of the astronomers here at the | 2:47:40 | 2:47:47 | |
Royal Observatory. First, what is
the Geminid media shower? And | 2:47:47 | 2:47:52 | |
astronomical | 2:47:52 | 2:47:52 | |
the Geminid media shower? And
astronomical phenomenon, a bit | 2:47:52 | 2:47:53 | |
different to the one we're
experiencing now as | 2:47:53 | 2:47:55 | |
different to the one we're
experiencing now as we stand here. | 2:47:55 | 2:47:57 | |
The Geminid is an annual media
shower which occurs in December, one | 2:47:57 | 2:48:02 | |
of the calendar is not the strongest
and because it occurs on dark | 2:48:02 | 2:48:05 | |
nights, it is an opportunity to see
dozens of shooting stars as long as | 2:48:05 | 2:48:08 | |
long as the weather is clear where
you are, as these tiny fragments of | 2:48:08 | 2:48:12 | |
astroid with very strange orbital
behaviour, 3200 fight on, burn up in | 2:48:12 | 2:48:19 | |
the stratosphere and relatively slow
speeds so they tend to burn | 2:48:19 | 2:48:22 | |
relatively brightly for a relatively
long period of time, they can be | 2:48:22 | 2:48:26 | |
colourful and they often outshine
Venus and we call such meteors | 2:48:26 | 2:48:29 | |
fireballs, because they are so
spectacular and dramatic. It is | 2:48:29 | 2:48:33 | |
tonight, going through into the
early hours of tomorrow, it is a | 2:48:33 | 2:48:36 | |
really good opportunity if you are
out tonight or tomorrow morning to | 2:48:36 | 2:48:39 | |
spot a few shooting stars. Where do
people look if they want to see | 2:48:39 | 2:48:43 | |
something were to mock media 's
canopy anywhere in the | 2:48:43 | 2:48:46 | |
something were to mock media 's
canopy anywhere in the sky but every | 2:48:46 | 2:48:46 | |
media shower is radiant, an area
where it appears to originate, and | 2:48:46 | 2:48:50 | |
the Geminid appear from Gemini, the
twin stars of Gemini, Karsten | 2:48:50 | 2:48:55 | |
Pollux, are rising in the East as
the sun goes down so that is where | 2:48:55 | 2:48:58 | |
the originating point seems to be.
-- Castor and Pollux. If you look | 2:48:58 | 2:49:04 | |
predominately towards the east in
the early part of the evening, you | 2:49:04 | 2:49:07 | |
improve your chances but after
midnight, the point where they | 2:49:07 | 2:49:09 | |
appear from will be high in the
south so they can appear anywhere so | 2:49:09 | 2:49:12 | |
I would start looking towards the
east at sunset but generally towards | 2:49:12 | 2:49:16 | |
the whole sky if you are out later.
Fantastic. Thank you for joining us. | 2:49:16 | 2:49:20 | |
This is the point where you play
good cop and I play bad cop and tell | 2:49:20 | 2:49:24 | |
you what you might or might not see
because as tormented, it is crucial | 2:49:24 | 2:49:28 | |
to have clear skies and the night it
will be a bit hit and miss, some | 2:49:28 | 2:49:32 | |
clear skies around in eastern areas
but with showers in the forecast, | 2:49:32 | 2:49:35 | |
especially in the West, there will
be a lot of cloudy times as well. | 2:49:35 | 2:49:39 | |
Annette's take a look at the
forecast because earlier this | 2:49:39 | 2:49:42 | |
morning, it has been cold in the
past | 2:49:42 | 2:49:43 | |
morning, it has been cold in the
past few days, still a bit chilly | 2:49:43 | 2:49:45 | |
but actually, it is the warmest
morning of the week for many. | 2:49:45 | 2:49:48 | |
Temperatures well above freezing
across the UK. We have got showers | 2:49:48 | 2:49:53 | |
spreading across eastern areas of
the country after a dry start to the | 2:49:53 | 2:49:56 | |
day. That will continue to happen
through the rest of the morning. | 2:49:56 | 2:50:00 | |
Head further north and west, shower
was already on the go, some heavy at | 2:50:00 | 2:50:03 | |
times through the morning and whilst
over the past few days it has been | 2:50:03 | 2:50:08 | |
permanently sleet and snow, today is
primarily rain, some snow expected | 2:50:08 | 2:50:11 | |
over the higher ground of Scotland,
even modest hills could get a slight | 2:50:11 | 2:50:16 | |
coating of snow today but with
damages across the western half of | 2:50:16 | 2:50:19 | |
the UK already 8-11, understandably,
it is rain. Gusty winds towards the | 2:50:19 | 2:50:24 | |
south-west which will pick up and we
will see spots of rain across the | 2:50:24 | 2:50:28 | |
Midlands and central southern
England where temperatures are only | 2:50:28 | 2:50:31 | |
a few degrees above freezing but
will gradually lift for a time. The | 2:50:31 | 2:50:35 | |
story of the day is showers
spreading from west to east, some | 2:50:35 | 2:50:38 | |
more sunshine developing through the
showers and between them into the | 2:50:38 | 2:50:42 | |
afternoon but at the same time, as
it gets colder again, more sleet and | 2:50:42 | 2:50:46 | |
snow mixed in, especially some very
heavy showers working across | 2:50:46 | 2:50:49 | |
southern England and South Wales
this afternoon and early evening, | 2:50:49 | 2:50:52 | |
into the rush hour which could give
a slight covering of snow on the | 2:50:52 | 2:50:59 | |
hills. Temperatures well upon what
we've seen over the past few days. | 2:50:59 | 2:51:01 | |
Into the evening, the best of clear
skies after some early showers in | 2:51:01 | 2:51:04 | |
the far south-east corner.
Elsewhere, you will have to look for | 2:51:04 | 2:51:07 | |
clearer moments through the night,
showers will come and go in the | 2:51:07 | 2:51:10 | |
West, some will start to turn
increasingly wintry as the | 2:51:10 | 2:51:13 | |
temperatures drop and between the
showers, lengthy spells of clear | 2:51:13 | 2:51:16 | |
skies in central and eastern areas,
a greater chance of frost alight | 2:51:16 | 2:51:19 | |
with a risk of ice into tomorrow.
Colder start again tomorrow morning | 2:51:19 | 2:51:23 | |
but for many eastern areas, other
than one or two isolated showers, it | 2:51:23 | 2:51:28 | |
will be drier and brighter, lighter
winds in Scotland, windy towards the | 2:51:28 | 2:51:32 | |
west and south-west in particular
and the showers keep going in the | 2:51:32 | 2:51:35 | |
West and just about anywhere could
see some sleet or hail mixed in and | 2:51:35 | 2:51:39 | |
snow on the hills. Temperatures
dropping relative do today, dropping | 2:51:39 | 2:51:42 | |
further into Friday, northerly wind,
showers in the north and east of | 2:51:42 | 2:51:46 | |
Scotland and North East England, a
few showers in the far west for | 2:51:46 | 2:51:53 | |
many, Friday will be dry and sunny.
More details tomorrow morning. For | 2:51:53 | 2:51:56 | |
now, back | 2:51:56 | 2:51:56 | |
More details tomorrow morning. For
now, back to you. Let's out some of | 2:51:56 | 2:52:00 | |
us can see the media shower. London
looks very nice behind Matt. | 2:52:00 | 2:52:06 | |
Fraudsters target thousands
of Britons every year, | 2:52:06 | 2:52:08 | |
but banks say they have
prevented their customers from | 2:52:08 | 2:52:10 | |
losing around £9 million
by working more closely | 2:52:10 | 2:52:11 | |
with local police. | 2:52:11 | 2:52:13 | |
They've established a scheme
which intervenes when a customer | 2:52:13 | 2:52:15 | |
tries to make an irregular,
large withdrawal from | 2:52:15 | 2:52:17 | |
their account in branch. | 2:52:17 | 2:52:21 | |
The scheme is set to be rolled out
nationwide. | 2:52:21 | 2:52:24 | |
Of course, that money is just
a small portion of the total stolen | 2:52:24 | 2:52:27 | |
by fraudsters across the UK. | 2:52:27 | 2:52:28 | |
For more on how banks are working
to stop fraud and what more we can | 2:52:28 | 2:52:32 | |
do to protect ourselves,
we're joined by Hannah Maundrell, | 2:52:32 | 2:52:34 | |
editor of Money.co.uk. | 2:52:34 | 2:52:35 | |
She is a regular guest. It is a
really big issue. I suppose the key | 2:52:35 | 2:52:40 | |
is cooperation, how exactly does it
work? Banks are working with local | 2:52:40 | 2:52:44 | |
police forces and post offices to
spot transactions which are not | 2:52:44 | 2:52:48 | |
usual. If somebody goes into their
bank branch and asks to withdraw a | 2:52:48 | 2:52:52 | |
large amount of money and it does
not seem usual for that person, | 2:52:52 | 2:52:56 | |
staff are trained to ask why they
want the money and what they are | 2:52:56 | 2:52:58 | |
intending to do with it and if they
are suspicious, they can contact the | 2:52:58 | 2:53:01 | |
police who will come within an hour
and speak to that person to get to | 2:53:01 | 2:53:05 | |
the bottom of why they are handing
over that money and whether the | 2:53:05 | 2:53:09 | |
person they are giving it too is in
fact genuine. Already this year, it | 2:53:09 | 2:53:13 | |
has only been rolled out across the
country since May but already, £9 | 2:53:13 | 2:53:17 | |
million worth of fraud has been
stopped, over 1500 people have had | 2:53:17 | 2:53:21 | |
to transactions stopped but this is
only the tip of the iceberg. Online | 2:53:21 | 2:53:24 | |
card fraud, phishing scans, people
are losing money. All of those would | 2:53:24 | 2:53:34 | |
have been fraudulent transactions?
Years, people trying to withdraw up | 2:53:34 | 2:53:38 | |
to £200,000 to give to a fraudster.
It is really taking advantage of | 2:53:38 | 2:53:42 | |
people's trust which is why you need
to be so cautious, if somebody | 2:53:42 | 2:53:46 | |
contacting out of the blue, whether
it is on the doorstep, e-mail, phone | 2:53:46 | 2:53:50 | |
or text, check who they are and not
by asking them, by putting the phone | 2:53:50 | 2:53:55 | |
down and going away and contacting
the company direct and making sure | 2:53:55 | 2:53:58 | |
they are legitimate. Don't give them
any details because they could be | 2:53:58 | 2:54:02 | |
used to commit fraud which is the
sad reality. The trouble is, they | 2:54:02 | 2:54:07 | |
are regrettably clever. Some people
might put down the phone and then | 2:54:07 | 2:54:10 | |
they can stay on the phone. There
are lots of different ways. What | 2:54:10 | 2:54:14 | |
surprises me that banks don't in
some ways, I mean, I noticed your | 2:54:14 | 2:54:19 | |
money, etc, but that banks don't ask
the difficult questions, like where | 2:54:19 | 2:54:22 | |
is it going, how come you're
suddenly taking out thousands of | 2:54:22 | 2:54:27 | |
pounds? Certainly, the industry is
doing more to address this because | 2:54:27 | 2:54:29 | |
the number of fraud cases are
growing and our new measures coming | 2:54:29 | 2:54:32 | |
in next year, certainly with online
banking, that will prompt you to | 2:54:32 | 2:54:35 | |
check who you are sending the money
to and make sure it is the right | 2:54:35 | 2:54:39 | |
person that is going to receive it.
The industry is also consulting on | 2:54:39 | 2:54:43 | |
creating this pot of money so if
somebody does lose out because they | 2:54:43 | 2:54:47 | |
have transferred money or given it
to the wrong person, they may be | 2:54:47 | 2:54:50 | |
able to make a claim to get it back
but that is all in the pipeline and | 2:54:50 | 2:54:53 | |
we don't know it will definitely
happen but something needs to be | 2:54:53 | 2:54:56 | |
done to help protect people but
awareness is the key. Really, don't | 2:54:56 | 2:55:00 | |
trust people unless proven
otherwise. Have you got a quick tip | 2:55:00 | 2:55:04 | |
for people shopping online this
Christmas to protect yourself and | 2:55:04 | 2:55:06 | |
make sure the money they are
spending gets the gift they need or | 2:55:06 | 2:55:11 | |
the present for yourself? If you are
shopping online this Christmas, make | 2:55:11 | 2:55:15 | |
sure that any website you will use
is legitimate. If it is a new | 2:55:15 | 2:55:18 | |
website you have not come across
before, if the deal seems too good | 2:55:18 | 2:55:21 | |
to be true, be very cautious. If the
website does not seem like a proper | 2:55:21 | 2:55:26 | |
website, it has got spelling
mistakes, you can't find contact | 2:55:26 | 2:55:30 | |
details, be suspicious. A simple
thing to do is go online, look in a | 2:55:30 | 2:55:33 | |
search engine for the name of the
website and reviews and often if it | 2:55:33 | 2:55:41 | |
is a scam, the tips will, and the
reviews will come up. Really good | 2:55:41 | 2:55:44 | |
advice. | 2:55:44 | 2:55:45 | |
For Star Wars fans,
the wait is nearly over. | 2:55:45 | 2:55:49 | |
The eighth episode in the franchise,
the Last Jedi, gets its cinema | 2:55:49 | 2:55:52 | |
release on Thursday. | 2:55:52 | 2:55:54 | |
But last night, the film's stars,
including British actors | 2:55:54 | 2:55:56 | |
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega,
were on the red carpet in London | 2:55:56 | 2:55:59 | |
for its European premiere. | 2:55:59 | 2:56:03 | |
Alongside a couple of princes and
some storm troopers. | 2:56:03 | 2:56:05 | |
A warning, this report

The stars of Star Wars,
cinema royalty, on the red carpet | 2:56:14 | 2:56:19 | |
with actual royalty. | 2:56:19 | 2:56:23 | |
Princes William and Harry,
such fans of the saga, | 2:56:23 | 2:56:26 | |
during filming, they secretly played
cameos as stormtroopers, | 2:56:26 | 2:56:29 | |
much to the excitement of the cast. | 2:56:29 | 2:56:32 | |
It was great, fantastic,
fantastic, phenomenal. | 2:56:32 | 2:56:35 | |
And they've done an
official visit as well. | 2:56:35 | 2:56:37 | |
They got in an X-wing
and all that kind of stuff. | 2:56:37 | 2:56:39 | |
It was fun. | 2:56:39 | 2:56:41 | |
The Last Jedi is the ninth
Star Wars film since the saga | 2:56:41 | 2:56:44 | |
began 40 years ago. | 2:56:44 | 2:56:45 | |
It didn't scare me enough then. | 2:56:45 | 2:56:47 | |
There's a huge degree
of expectation from fans. | 2:56:47 | 2:56:51 | |
I'm from the Czech Republic.
I'm from Brno. | 2:56:51 | 2:56:54 | |
And Star Wars is the great
fairy tale for adults, | 2:56:54 | 2:56:59 | |
so that's why it is special for me. | 2:56:59 | 2:57:01 | |
What is Star Wars to you? | 2:57:01 | 2:57:04 | |
Star Wars is everything, really. | 2:57:04 | 2:57:06 | |
Something I've always
obviously been interested in. | 2:57:06 | 2:57:09 | |
It's almost a way of life, I think. | 2:57:09 | 2:57:12 | |
I think it is just
a cracking good story. | 2:57:12 | 2:57:15 | |
It's all swashbuckling,
it's all fun, it's about goodies | 2:57:15 | 2:57:18 | |
versus baddies, and I think that's
what makes it so great. | 2:57:18 | 2:57:21 | |
Fan power like this has driven
the franchise for 40 years | 2:57:21 | 2:57:24 | |
and is also the reason why many
expect this film to make more | 2:57:24 | 2:57:27 | |
in the final two weeks of 2017
than any other film makes | 2:57:27 | 2:57:30 | |
in the entirety of this year. | 2:57:30 | 2:57:34 | |
It's basic escapism. | 2:57:34 | 2:57:36 | |
People need that when
reality is too harsh. | 2:57:36 | 2:57:40 | |
Whether they go to Hogwarts
or Middle Earth or the Land of Oz, | 2:57:40 | 2:57:44 | |
it's just comforting to go
to a galaxy far, far away, I guess. | 2:57:44 | 2:57:50 | |
So, escapism for fans
but for its stars like Daisy Ridley, | 2:57:50 | 2:57:53 | |
it's been life-changing. | 2:57:53 | 2:57:56 | |
She came from relative obscurity
to win the lead role in the series | 2:57:56 | 2:58:00 | |
when it returned in 2015. | 2:58:00 | 2:58:03 | |
Not sure exactly what to expect
when the movie with her | 2:58:03 | 2:58:05 | |
at the centre was finally released. | 2:58:05 | 2:58:09 | |
It was sort of like, "Ohhh!" | 2:58:09 | 2:58:11 | |
after it came out, and then,
you know, we went back to work. | 2:58:11 | 2:58:15 | |
I'm very lucky that I've got to meet
some brilliant people and got to do | 2:58:15 | 2:58:18 | |
some other jobs which definitely
wouldn't have happened without it. | 2:58:18 | 2:58:21 | |
But you know, just rolling with it. | 2:58:21 | 2:58:26 | |
Fans are delighted that filming
will start on the follow-up to this | 2:58:26 | 2:58:30 | |
movie next summer and that
after that, work will begin | 2:58:30 | 2:58:33 | |
on another, all-new trilogy. | 2:58:33 | 2:58:36 | |
So audiences will have
the opportunity to visit a galaxy | 2:58:36 | 2:58:40 | |
far, far away for many,
many years to come. | 2:58:40 | 2:58:42 | |
Lizo Mzimba, BBC News. | 2:58:42 | 2:58:49 | |
Looks very exciting and our next
guest was lucky enough to be | 2:58:51 | 2:58:54 | |
at the premiere last night. | 2:58:54 | 2:58:55 | |
Good morning to Simon Callow. | 2:58:55 | 2:58:57 | |
You're not here to talk particularly
about Star Wars but you have seen it | 2:58:57 | 2:59:01 | |
last night. Yes, it was stupendous,
intergalactic li so, it was that | 2:59:01 | 2:59:06 | |
there were loud at all which is fast
in itself and the two princes were | 2:59:06 | 2:59:09 | |
there. It was... They said it was
much more exciting than the LA | 2:59:09 | 2:59:14 | |
premiere which I can believe. And my
friend, the great Brendan Christie, | 2:59:14 | 2:59:19 | |
is in it, splendid. It was great,
the audience were roaring as if they | 2:59:19 | 2:59:26 | |
were actually, as if it was like.
Did it get a big round of applause? | 2:59:26 | 2:59:31 | |
Oh, no, in the middle, endless round
of applause, great excitement. How | 2:59:31 | 2:59:35 | |
exciting! Good morning, by the way! | 2:59:35 | 2:59:39 | |
You're really here to talk
to us about your new take | 2:59:41 | 2:59:43 | |
on the Dickens classic,
A Christmas Carol. | 2:59:43 | 2:59:48 | |
It is reading and music. It is more
or less in Charles Dickens works, | 2:59:48 | 2:59:55 | |
and with a magnificent brass band
playing Christmas carols all the way | 2:59:55 | 3:00:00 | |
through which Dickens would have
adored. He was a great man of the | 3:00:00 | 3:00:06 | |
people and brass bands as the
essence of popular music in | 3:00:06 | 3:00:09 | |
Victorian times. We have tried to
deliver the whole story which is not | 3:00:09 | 3:00:15 | |
just about turkeys and dancing and
the rest of it but people in dire | 3:00:15 | 3:00:22 | |
poverty, people excluded from
society, that was what he was always | 3:00:22 | 3:00:24 | |
about. It was written in 1843 and I
was reading about it and talking to | 3:00:24 | 3:00:30 | |
you about it, the story was he was
running out of money and he had a | 3:00:30 | 3:00:36 | |
lavish lifestyle of the story to
make sure he had enough cash to | 3:00:36 | 3:00:40 | |
continue the lifestyle. Not really
true! He was worried about money | 3:00:40 | 3:00:44 | |
because Martin tussle with, the book
he was writing before, had not been | 3:00:44 | 3:00:49 | |
as successful at the big sellers
like Nicholas Nickleby but he was | 3:00:49 | 3:00:57 | |
always worried about money. Yet an
increasingly large family and you | 3:00:57 | 3:01:03 | |
must remember that writers were not
on royalties so you had to keep | 3:01:03 | 3:01:08 | |
churning stuff out and he saw the
possibilities of a Christmas story | 3:01:08 | 3:01:11 | |
but the main thing he wanted to
focus on and what inspired him was | 3:01:11 | 3:01:15 | |
that he had read the parliamentary
report of the condition of children | 3:01:15 | 3:01:20 | |
working in mines and factories and
he said wanted to deliver a | 3:01:20 | 3:01:23 | |
sledgehammer blow against such
outrages. And right in the middle of | 3:01:23 | 3:01:28 | |
Christmas Carol is when the ghost of
Christmas present opens his robe and | 3:01:28 | 3:01:36 | |
these two feral children come out,
one called Want and the other called | 3:01:36 | 3:01:46 | |
Ignorance and he says they are
man's, fear them both. Especially | 3:01:46 | 3:01:53 | |
Ignorance because this one will
destroy the world. Especially | 3:01:53 | 3:01:58 | |
powerful message. Let's have a
listen. | 3:01:58 | 3:02:02 | |
Heaped upon the floor were turkeys,
game, great joints of meat, sucking | 3:02:04 | 3:02:10 | |
pigs, long wreaths of sausages, plum
puddings, barrels of oysters and | 3:02:10 | 3:02:12 | |
seething bowls of punch. | 3:02:12 | 3:02:22 | |
As Scrooge put his hand
on the door, he heard a | 3:02:27 | 3:02:31 | |
voice inside, saying,
"Ebenezer Scrooge! | 3:02:31 | 3:02:36 | |
Come in, man!" | 3:02:36 | 3:02:43 | |
It feels like Christmas! I'm going
to get an act of Parliament that | 3:02:43 | 3:02:48 | |
there should be no Dickens
adaptation that does not involve | 3:02:48 | 3:02:51 | |
you! You are also involved in the
film, The Man Who Invented | 3:02:51 | 3:02:59 | |
Christmas. It is fantastically fun,
about the things that Dickens drew | 3:02:59 | 3:03:03 | |
on for Christmas Carol, the name of
the waiter, a strange encounter with | 3:03:03 | 3:03:08 | |
somebody, it is a burly and and that
is what Dickens was, his life was | 3:03:08 | 3:03:14 | |
was incredible. Are you a fan of
Christmas? I am now! I have become a | 3:03:14 | 3:03:24 | |
fan, I love the rituals. The tree
and all of that. And again, Dickens | 3:03:24 | 3:03:32 | |
was obsessed by all of this, he
wrote a long essay about a Christmas | 3:03:32 | 3:03:36 | |
tree and the little creatures
hanging from the tree and what it | 3:03:36 | 3:03:41 | |
evokes. When I was a kid we really
did Christmas well and I gave up on | 3:03:41 | 3:03:46 | |
my thought it was a bit commercial
but in my extreme old age I have | 3:03:46 | 3:03:50 | |
come back to it. We have sent some
lovely pictures of decorations. | 3:03:50 | 3:03:55 | |
Thank you. Your laugh is one of my
favourite ever! | 3:03:55 | 3:04:00 | |
Simon's album is called
a Christmas Carol. | 3:04:00 | 3:04:01 | |
And The Man Who Invented Christmas
is in cinemas now. | 3:04:01 | 3:04:05 | |
Lovely to see you. | 3:04:05 | 3:04:07 | |
Let's get a last, brief
look at the headlines | 3:04:07 | 3:04:09 | |
where you are this morning. | 3:04:09 | 3:04:11 | |
Welcome back and a warm welcome to
our wonderful week of singing on | 3:05:58 | 3:06:02 | |
Breakfast! We are building up to
next week on Tuesday when we have | 3:06:02 | 3:06:11 | |
six choirs all around the UK singing
together and as part of the build-up | 3:06:11 | 3:06:16 | |
we are taking to the stage this
evening. We are be thrown right out | 3:06:16 | 3:06:27 | |
of our comfort zone. Right now we
don't even know what we are singing. | 3:06:27 | 3:06:31 | |
We have a few hours to rehearse when
we find out. | 3:06:31 | 3:06:40 | |
We've been attemtping to hit those
high notes with the help | 3:06:40 | 3:06:43 | |
of the choirmaster himself,
Wayne Ellington from | 3:06:43 | 3:06:45 | |
Manchester Inspirational Voices. | 3:06:45 | 3:06:46 | |
He has been trying to give us some
help beforehand! | 3:06:46 | 3:06:51 | |
Siiiiiiiiiing. | 3:06:53 | 3:06:56 | |
Good! | 3:06:56 | 3:06:58 | |
If anyone can help
us, this is the man! | 3:06:58 | 3:07:02 | |
I'm OK, if a little bit nervous. | 3:07:02 | 3:07:06 | |
I would say I'm enthusiastic. | 3:07:06 | 3:07:08 | |
And very likely to be
extremely nervous. | 3:07:08 | 3:07:10 | |
Nice to see you! | 3:07:10 | 3:07:12 | |
Aaaaaah. | 3:07:12 | 3:07:13 | |
There we go. | 3:07:13 | 3:07:15 | |
Aaaaaah. | 3:07:15 | 3:07:20 | |
# If you get there before I do. | 3:07:20 | 3:07:23 | |
# Coming for to carry me home #. | 3:07:23 | 3:07:27 | |
You know the challenge is to sing
with my gospel choir. | 3:07:27 | 3:07:29 | |
Yes. | 3:07:29 | 3:07:34 | |
I'm going to be hiding
at the back, aren't I? | 3:07:34 | 3:07:37 | |
No, you're going to be
right at the front where | 3:07:37 | 3:07:39 | |
everyone can see you. | 3:07:39 | 3:07:40 | |
I sing something and then
you sing after me. | 3:07:40 | 3:07:43 | |
# In heaven the bells are ringing | 3:07:43 | 3:07:46 | |
# Ding dong merrily on high | 3:07:46 | 3:07:48 | |
# In heaven the bells are ringing #. | 3:07:48 | 3:07:50 | |
# Away in a manger #. | 3:07:50 | 3:07:54 | |
# Ding dong verily on high. | 3:07:54 | 3:07:58 | |
# And riven with angels singing #. | 3:07:58 | 3:07:59 | |
# No crib for a bed #. | 3:07:59 | 3:08:04 | |
# Have yourself a merry
little Christmas #. | 3:08:04 | 3:08:07 | |
I got the wrong notes! | 3:08:07 | 3:08:09 | |
LAUGHTER | 3:08:09 | 3:08:11 | |
OK. | 3:08:11 | 3:08:14 | |
# Little donkey, little donkey #. | 3:08:14 | 3:08:18 | |
In heaven, no, is riven
with angels, no. | 3:08:18 | 3:08:22 | |
# Mary, did you know
that your baby boy #. | 3:08:22 | 3:08:26 | |
I'm worried, Wayne. | 3:08:26 | 3:08:27 | |
You'll be fine, you'll be fine. | 3:08:27 | 3:08:29 | |
# That your baby boy... | 3:08:29 | 3:08:32 | |
Let's do it again. | 3:08:32 | 3:08:33 | |
OK. | 3:08:33 | 3:08:34 | |
I can't sing unless I'm dancing. | 3:08:34 | 3:08:36 | |
# On a dusty road #. | 3:08:36 | 3:08:39 | |
So take a deep breath in for me. | 3:08:39 | 3:08:43 | |
And breathe out. | 3:08:47 | 3:08:51 | |
# Ding dong verily the sky is riven
with angels singing #. | 3:08:51 | 3:08:54 | |
Yes! | 3:08:54 | 3:08:55 | |
We're there! | 3:08:55 | 3:08:56 | |
One line down! | 3:08:56 | 3:08:59 | |
# No crib for a bed #. | 3:08:59 | 3:09:03 | |
You're going to be perfect, you're
going to be fine, absolutely fine. | 3:09:03 | 3:09:06 | |
# That your baby boy... | 3:09:06 | 3:09:09 | |
# Yeeeaaah... | 3:09:09 | 3:09:11 | |
That's just perfect, perfect. | 3:09:11 | 3:09:12 | |
You're going to be great! | 3:09:12 | 3:09:13 | |
We'll see! | 3:09:13 | 3:09:15 | |
Come on, let's hug it out. | 3:09:15 | 3:09:16 | |
Brilliant, wonderful. | 3:09:16 | 3:09:18 | |
I'm going to sit down and relax now! | 3:09:18 | 3:09:21 | |
Top man, thank you. | 3:09:21 | 3:09:22 | |
See you on the big night! | 3:09:22 | 3:09:24 | |
The big night! | 3:09:24 | 3:09:30 | |
What could possibly go wrong?! | 3:09:30 | 3:09:33 | |
Here to give us their top tips ahead
of tonight's big performance | 3:09:33 | 3:09:36 | |
are Edward Price and Alice Gribbin
from the BBC Singers choir. | 3:09:36 | 3:09:41 | |
You do this all the time and you
know what you're doing. Louise is | 3:09:41 | 3:09:46 | |
nervous. Dealing with nerves, what
is the key? It is getting relaxed. | 3:09:46 | 3:09:55 | |
The first tip I was given by my
first ever singing teacher, talking | 3:09:55 | 3:09:59 | |
about breathing, before you go on
take ten deep breaths. It gets you | 3:09:59 | 3:10:05 | |
relaxed and it gets your breathing
going and in the mood. Ten is quite | 3:10:05 | 3:10:09 | |
a lot. It is but you get that
moment, it takes some time. You have | 3:10:09 | 3:10:17 | |
got to leave yourself enough time.
I'm nervous already! I was going to | 3:10:17 | 3:10:23 | |
say, you have to find the time and I
often stand around with my friends | 3:10:23 | 3:10:27 | |
having a gossip and I think it is
good to take yourself away from | 3:10:27 | 3:10:33 | |
other people also sometimes I use
mindfulness for a couple of minutes | 3:10:33 | 3:10:37 | |
to slow down my heart rate. Some
people like to think they are just | 3:10:37 | 3:10:41 | |
singing to one person in the
audience. I prefer to think I'm not | 3:10:41 | 3:10:46 | |
singing to anyone. That and even
better tip! I would be petrified if | 3:10:46 | 3:10:51 | |
I was singing to people I know, to
my friends but if it is 3000 people | 3:10:51 | 3:10:57 | |
I'd never met, they are just
anonymous faces. So don't focus on | 3:10:57 | 3:11:01 | |
anyone you know? I think Louise is
going to lock herself in the toilet | 3:11:01 | 3:11:06 | |
so how do I get her out?! You have
got to find the fun and the | 3:11:06 | 3:11:12 | |
enjoyment. And demonstrate that you
love it and show it to the audience | 3:11:12 | 3:11:18 | |
because they will respond to you and
be engaged with what you're doing | 3:11:18 | 3:11:22 | |
and you will feel confident and the
whole dynamic between you will come | 3:11:22 | 3:11:26 | |
to life. I know that nerves can
affect people in different ways. I | 3:11:26 | 3:11:30 | |
also have this and Steph has it,
giggles. What to do about that? | 3:11:30 | 3:11:40 | |
Again I think the breathing thing is
crucial because when I'm nervous it | 3:11:40 | 3:11:44 | |
goes and I can't sing full phrases
and things so try to keep a handle | 3:11:44 | 3:11:49 | |
on nice, low, deep breaths that go
to the bottom of your lungs. What | 3:11:49 | 3:11:55 | |
about some warm up exercises? I
think you got to get your body | 3:11:55 | 3:12:01 | |
warmed up well as your voice. The
face muscles, your tongue. Like | 3:12:01 | 3:12:07 | |
that. And the cheeks. You talk about
big face and little face! Cardboard | 3:12:07 | 3:12:17 | |
box! You do it like this with your
mouth really wide and then scrunch | 3:12:17 | 3:12:23 | |
your face really tiny, big face,
little face! You are waking up all | 3:12:23 | 3:12:36 | |
of the facial resonating chambers.
And then just gentle humming to get | 3:12:36 | 3:12:40 | |
it going. Shall we do it? Shall we
stand up? Is that allowed? That's | 3:12:40 | 3:12:48 | |
all right, take control. You have to
breeze nice and deep. -- breathing. | 3:12:48 | 3:12:56 | |
And then you can hum any note. And
feel like it's going somewhere. I | 3:12:56 | 3:13:03 | |
feel like you're singing it down
there, imagine it's travelling over | 3:13:03 | 3:13:07 | |
the top of the studio into Salford
Quays. Give it some direction. I've | 3:13:07 | 3:13:14 | |
sent it right out there! And what
you did, you smiled, your eyes lit | 3:13:14 | 3:13:21 | |
up and that is great because you are
waking up everything in your face | 3:13:21 | 3:13:24 | |
and your sound will be more
exciting! It is terror! | 3:13:24 | 3:13:28 | |
I think you have solved it! We will
say goodbye standing up for the | 3:13:30 | 3:13:37 | |
first time. Thank you for coming in,
that is it for this morning. | 3:13:37 | 3:13:45 | |
Charlie and Naga will be here
tomorrow of our grand performance. | 3:13:45 | 3:13:51 | |
Now it's time to head back
to Shetland for another | 3:13:51 | 3:13:54 | |
installment of Island Medics. | 3:13:54 | 3:13:54 |
