Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
Munchetty. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
A round of applause from EU leaders
as Theresa May tells them she can | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
deliver a smooth Brexit. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
The show of support
for the Prime Minister came | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
at a dinner in Brussels,
where the EU will today officially | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
move Brexit talks to the next
stage of negotiations. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
Good morning - it's
Friday, 15th December. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Also this morning, a new study
finds one in six parents | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
allow their children
to drink at the age of 14, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
but doctors warn it's
putting their health at risk. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
In sport, another collapse
for England's cricketers - | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
a century for Bairstow brightens up
day two of the third Ashes Test, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
but once he was gone,
the tailenders soon followed. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:09 | |
A record number of people turned 70
this year so what is life really | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
like the baby boomers in 2017? I am
at a retirement village in Surrey | 0:01:13 | 0:01:19 | |
this morning to find out. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
As he takes on the role
of The Greatest Showman, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Hugh Jackman tells me how
he got into character. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
This was me on set all day. And it
looks easy, but I dropped the first | 0:01:26 | 0:01:34 | |
300. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:34 | |
And Matt has the weather. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
He is enjoying a festival of light
this morning. Good morning. What | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
better way to brighten up a dark
winter morning than with hundreds of | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
lanterns? We will be amongst the
more morning. I have the forecast | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
which begins cold and icy this
morning. Only a few showers but on | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
the weekend it gets milder. See you
in 50 minutes. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
First, our main story. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
Brexit negotiations will reach a key
milestone today when EU leaders | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
will give the green light for talks
to move to the second stage. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
Last night at a dinner in Brussels,
Theresa May insisted | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
she was on course for
what she termed a "smooth" Brexit. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
So what does the next
stage look like? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Talks will now focus
on the transition deal | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
between the two sides,
as well as their future relationship | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
and trading arrangements. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:26 | |
Mrs May has said she wants
discussions on transition settled | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
by March 2018. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
That's the period after the UK
will have officially left the EU | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
but might still be
abiding by EU law. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
However, with a Brexit Day vote
in Parliament next week | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
on whether to put a precise time
and date on the UK's exit | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
from the EU, both sides will be
aware that the clock is ticking. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:47 | |
Our political correspondent Eleanor
Garnier is in Westminster this | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
morning. Now, if we keep past this
point, or if Theresa May can get | 0:02:49 | 0:02:55 | |
past this point, she will definitely
be breathing a little easier, I | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
imagine? I am sure there will be a
huge sigh of relief in Downing | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
Street when the EU officially
confirms the talks can move on to | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
the next stage later on. And I think
Theresa May, this is perhaps | 0:03:07 | 0:03:16 | |
written's best moment in the process
so far, but she will not actually be | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
in Brussels to enjoy it. --
Britain's. That is because the EU | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
laws mean Britain cannot be there
when the other 27 member states are | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
discussing the negotiations. But at
a dinner last night when the Prime | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
Minister expressed her commitment to
a smooth Brexit, ship leaked at a | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
round of applause. I think that is a
reminder of how up and down these | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
talks are, a bit like a
rollercoaster ride. Remember last | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
week there was disaster when the
Democratic Unionist party blocked | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
the deal, and then triumph when
progress was eventually made? There | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
was defeat in the House of Commons
for the government on Wednesday, and | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
it looks like there is more trouble
brewing next week in Parliament | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
about whether or not to fix the date
we leave the EU in law. I think | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
there will be cheers today both in
Brussels and here at home, but that | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
doesn't mean all the controversial
elements have been solved or that | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
all the difficult questions have in
answer. Elenor Comer thank you. -- | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
Eleanor Garnier, thank you. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
One in six parents in the UK
gives their children alcohol | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
by the age of 14,
according to new research. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
That's despite medical advice
which says children should not drink | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
until they are at
least a year older. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Researchers from University College
London also found white, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
well-educated parents were most
likely to have a relaxed attitude | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
to young people drinking. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
Philippa Roxby reports. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:48 | |
A new study suggests teenagers
enjoying alcohol for the first time | 0:04:48 | 0:04:54 | |
may not be a good idea, because it
is harmful to children and their | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
bodies are not ready for it. The
research team from University | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
college London and Pennsylvania
state University found 17% of | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
parents have let their children
drink alcohol by the age of 14. Well | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
educated parents of white children
were more likely to allow their | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
adolescent children to drink then
unemployed and ethnic minority | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
parents. Half of all 14-year-olds
said they had tried more than a few | 0:05:16 | 0:05:24 | |
sips of alcohol. People at a young
age tend to think it is the right | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
thing to do, and obviously it is not
really the right thing to do. It | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
depends on the child really. On the
parents. And how responsible they | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
are, really. If they are encouraging
it, like it is a good then, yet they | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
might do it on their own all the
time and think it is OK... Obviously | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
there is a limit. The study also
found that light or moderate | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
drinking parents were just as likely
to let their children have alcohol | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
as heavy drinking parents. Parents
of socially advantage children might | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
believe it is teaching them
responsible alcohol use and | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
inoculating them against the future
dangers of alcohol but we have no | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
evidence to support this view and
the chief medical officer recommends | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
an alcohol free childhood, so no
drinking before the age of 15, | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
because it can be harmful to their
growth and develop it. Alcohol | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
charities said parents needed more
guidance from schools and doctors on | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
how to talk to their children about
alcohol. There are devices to set | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
the rules for teenagers on alcohol
and to be open and honest with them | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
about its effects. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
The Church of England has apologised
to the family of a bishop | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
for failings in the way it
investigated allegations of child | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
abuse against him more
than 50-years after his death. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
An independent review
of the investigation into the former | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Bishop of Chichester, George Bell,
is being published this morning. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
He died in 1958. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
The White House says Donald Trump
and the Russian president, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
Vladimir Putin, have discussed
working together to resolve | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
the crisis over North Korea's
nuclear programme. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
Meanwhile, the most senior UN
official to visit North Korea | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
for six years told the BBC,
Pyongyang should re-open | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
communication channels with
South Korea, which were suspended | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
in 2009. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
Charges have been brought
against the leader of the far-right | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
group, Britain First
in connection with a rally held | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
in Belfast in August. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:14 | |
Paul Golding is accused
of using threatening, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
insulting or abusive
words or behaviour. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
His group's deputy leader,
Jayda Fransen, appeared in court | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
yesterday to face the same charge
in relation to the rally. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
She was later arrested and charged
in connection with a separate | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
incident in Belfast on Wednesday. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:36 | |
Roger Federer has been named
the BBC's Overseas Sports | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Personality of Year
for a record fourth time. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
The 36-year-old from Switzerland -
who won his eighth Wimbledon title | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
in 2017 - said he was "incredibly
proud" to receive the award, | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
which was voted for by the public
David Ornstein looks back at yet | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
another stellar year for one
of the greatest sportsmen | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
of all time. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:59 | |
The crowning glory of yet another
historic season for Roger Federer. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:11 | |
The first man to win
Wimbledon eight times, | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
extending his record to 19
Grand Slams titles and at 35, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
proving age is no
barrier to greatness. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Ravaged by injury in 2016,
Federer's best days looked | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
behind him, however the legendary
Swiss was back on song | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
at the Australian Open,
renewing his rivalry | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
with Rafael Nadal and coming out
on top, the first major success | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
in 4.5 years. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Roger Federer skipped the clay-court
season to prepare for grass and how | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
it paid off on the lawns of SW 19,
the oldest male champion in the open | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
era, for the loss
of not a single set. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:53 | |
The target is being Wimbledon,
have been for a year | 0:08:53 | 0:08:59 | |
Federer is just in a different
league. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
Previously, Roger Federer was level
with Muhammad Ali and Usain Bolt | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
as a 3-time winner of
Overseas Sports Personality. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Now he's in a class his own. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:19 | |
Well... This is what we have in the
studio, and we are strict orders to | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
be careful with it this year. Aren't
we, Mike? Yes, because on a certain | 0:09:24 | 0:09:31 | |
BBC programme the other day it might
have been dropped. So this is the | 0:09:31 | 0:09:37 | |
BBC Sports Personality of the Year
trophy, which was handed out on | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Sunday night? Yes, it has been going
since 1954. Silverplated, 40 at. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:47 | |
Sports stars like Andy Murray have
won it many times and they say it is | 0:09:47 | 0:09:52 | |
one of the most prized trophies in
sport. It means so much to them, to | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
win this. The overall achievement of
their year. For Roger Federer to win | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
it again, that is unbelievable. But
we all love him. What a role model | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
and an icon. There was a time not so
long ago when people were writing | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
him off. I did, yes. 36, you can
understand that. I'm going to take a | 0:10:10 | 0:10:16 | |
closer look at that. All those
shields which have the names, I | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
wonder where the space is for the
next shield? That is a good | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
question. We will have to have a
look. I'm sure they have thought of | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
that. Take us to the Ashes. Well, in
sport, when you have an opponent on | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
the ropes you have to be lethal.
England haven't, and Australia got a | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
sniff and were back in it. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
A mixed morning for England on the
second day of the third test in | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
Perth. After Bairstow's success, the
site collapse. Not a bad score, but | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
it could have been better. Australia
replied, not trouble but also far by | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
the England bowlers. They do really
sense they are getting back into | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
this third test. Already 2-0 up in
the series as well. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
The most successful female jockey
in British flat racing, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
Hayley Turner, has been banned
from riding for three months | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
for breaching betting rules. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
She staked 164 bets at a profit
of £160 over 18 months. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
The last of the non-league
sides is out | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
of the FA Cup. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
Hereford lost to
Fleetwood last night | 0:11:19 | 0:11:20 | |
and they take on Leicester
in the next round, so we'll see | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
a return for Jamie Vardy
to his old club. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:31 | |
And despite being caught
napping betweeen frames, | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan is awake enough
to make it through to | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
the quarter-finals of
snooker's Scottish Open. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:43 | |
The power naps do not seem to be
doing him much good, do they? It is | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
a great story. His attitude
throughout has been... So | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
refreshing. It really has been.
Thank you. We are going to look | 0:11:50 | 0:11:56 | |
through the papers. Let's begin with
the front pages. The Daily | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Telegraph, this is a story we have
been looking at today. An enquiry | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
has found a Church of England panel
incorrectly branded George Pell a | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
paedophile despite a lack of
evidence. The Church of England | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
destroy the reputation of a
respected the ship I naming him | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
based on a single uncorroborated
allegation 60 years after his death. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:23 | |
-- George Pell. And a picture you
will see on many FrontPage is today, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:29 | |
the victims of the Grenfell Tower
Judy being remembered six months | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
since that fire ripped through the
towering Kensington and took the | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
lives of more than 70 people.
Relatives, friends and survivors of | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
the blaze gathering at Saint Pauls
Cathedral yesterday. Politics very | 0:12:40 | 0:12:47 | |
clearly on the front page of the
Daily Mail. Theresa May getting | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
slammed for the various things which
have gone wrong. Celebrations in | 0:12:51 | 0:12:59 | |
Brexit with the trade talks likely
to get the official go-ahead today. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
A round of applause at dinner last
night from the EU counterparts. The | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
Mirror taking a different approach.
The Times mentioning that Theresa | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
May will drop the Brexit did after
this rebel defeat. -- Brexit date | 0:13:10 | 0:13:16 | |
bid. She is backing away from plans
to write a Brexit date into law in | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
order to avoid a second defeat. The
date was set for March 29, 2019, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
that is the legal departure for
departure -- legal deadline for | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
departure from the EU. We have lots
more on the Chris Froome story this | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
week. He has been saying that he
hasn't overstepped the mark and he | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
is providing information to the
authorities to explain why he had | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
twice the level allowed the legal
asthma drugs in his system. This was | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
during a test during the Vuelta a
Espana. He has spoken of his shock. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:53 | |
Also on this story, Tony Martin, one
of his rivals, a four-time world | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
champion in time trials, has said
that actually, the way it has been | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
treated and handled has been double
standards and a scandal and thinks | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
that Chris Froome should be banned
while investigations continue. And | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
the doubts, the World Championship
starting. Lots of pictures of cones. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
This is Chris Dobie, he used to work
on the roads, putting out cones. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:20 | |
Heir to the Cone. He is taking on
Phil Taylor, the world champion, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
today. Does he wear that while he
plays darts? No, just while he walks | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
on. It is his trademark costume.
Heir to the Cone... I get it. It | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
takes some time sometimes. It is
early in the morning. I think we can | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
show you the fullscreen version
here. You know the Christmas | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
sweaters? Nicola Sturgeon and her
colleagues in the Scottish | 0:14:43 | 0:14:50 | |
Parliament dressed up in their
Christmas sweaters. Some, if you | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
look carefully, you can see they are
wearing fake beards as well. Like | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
Father Christmas. They have gone for
it, the whole hog. They look like | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
they are having fun. Christmas
chatters -- jumpers are not | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
flattering but we'll wear them. That
is the point. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
Here's something to get
you into the seasonal spirit, | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
we've sent Matt to a rather magical
latern festival at Longleat. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
we've sent Matt to a rather magical
latern festival at Longleat. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
He's

He's not

He's not in his Christmas jumper
latern festival at Longleat. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:16 | |
He's not in his Christmas jumper
yet, might be too cold, but he is | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
certainly enjoying some festive
lights. Good morning, where are you? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
We are at Longleat in Wiltshire,
among hundreds of lanterns and what | 0:15:24 | 0:15:30 | |
better way to brighten up a dark
winter morning? We're at the | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
festival of lights, which, as you
may be able to tell from some of the | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
footage you've been watching, it is
a theme of magic storytelling and | 0:15:37 | 0:15:43 | |
behind me we've got Hansel and
Gretel looking happy for the time | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
being, and a glorious galleon behind
linked to the story of the Little | 0:15:47 | 0:15:52 | |
mermaid. We'll be looking at these
lanterns later in the programme. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
But certainly a chilly start in
Wiltshire, as it is for many. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
Looking at the forecast, a cold
start, anywhere could have frost and | 0:16:01 | 0:16:07 | |
highs this morning, especially
following overnight showers. Showers | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
in southern counties at the moment
but by 9am they will clear away from | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
the far south coast and then the
rest of the day for many should be | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
dry but in eastern counties of
England we already have showers | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
rolling in, they will continue to
roll in through the day, hail, sleet | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
and snow. The Midlands and west
England should be dry and sunny and | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
sunny and frosty in much of
Scotland, in northern and eastern | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
areas, some showers, there could be
wintry. In Northern Ireland, fewer | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
showers at the moment. -- they
could. Lot of sunshine to start the | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
day but some showers running down
across the far south of Wales across | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
Cornwall and they will come all day
long, maybe producing flurries of | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
snow over higher ground. You don't
have to come too far inland, Devon, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
Somerset, good parts of Wales,
central and southern England, a dry | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
morning and a dry day ahead after
the showers. The King at the | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
forecast for the rest of the day,
showers rolling down the used in | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
counties of England -- looking at. A
colder day here in the wind and | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
those showers at times. Further
west, only a few showers, many will | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
be dry and bright and temperatures
down on yesterday given the | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
northerly wind, feeling colder
today. Into the night, showers will | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
continue around the coasts
especially in the east and one or | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
two in the western fringes of Wales,
Cornwall and Northern Ireland but | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
most will have clear skies
overnight, widespread frost | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
developing and that will lead to the
risk of ice as we go into Saturday | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
morning. Freezing fog patches may
take a while to clear first thing on | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Saturday but at the start of the
weekend, lovely, crisp, fresh, | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
bright, lots of sunshine for many. A
better day across eastern parts once | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
the early showers have cleared but
cloud increases for the rest of the | 0:17:53 | 0:18:00 | |
day and showers developing in Wales,
the Midlands and parts of south-west | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
England and tomorrow we start to see
temperatures climbing up, especially | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
in the south-west, but for most a
cold day, even with the sunshine in | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
the east. Windier conditions on
Sunday, south-westerly direction, | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
that will bring the change some may
be longing for. After a cold spell, | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
things will be warming up, but wet
and windy weather spreading south | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
and east. Still a bit chilly in some
eastern areas to begin with but by | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
the time we begin Sunday the milder
air will be here that mild theme | 0:18:26 | 0:18:33 | |
will continue for next week. More
stunning imagery from here through | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
the morning but for now, back to
Naga and Charlie. It really looks | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
colourful. It's the time when being
dark at this time of the morning | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
really works. Definitely! | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
More people than every before
will have turned 70 in 2017. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:53 | |
That's according to the Office
of Natioanal Statistics. | 0:18:53 | 0:19:01 | |
There are nearly 800,000 baby
boomers celebrating the milestone. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
So what's it like for
the generation who have | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
been through some of the worlds
biggest cultural and social changes? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
Breakfast's John Maguire
is in Walton-on-Thames in Surrey. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
It's a bit early to celebrate even
if | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
It's a bit early to celebrate even
if you are celebrating your 70th | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
birthday, but good morning. Ifill,
red wine every day, that extends | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
your life expectancy? Really good
for you. Word good morning! We are | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
at the Whiteley retirement village
in sorry, you'll get to know some of | 0:19:22 | 0:19:28 | |
these in a moment. By our all 70 but
as they have been saying they say 70 | 0:19:28 | 0:19:36 | |
is the new 40 -- they are all. It's
an extraordinary place, 100 years | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
old, built by a Victorian
philanthropist. This is the bar, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:47 | |
that was the kitchen area. We will
come through the canteen. That was | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
Ben. There are 500 residents that
live here, built in the arts and | 0:19:52 | 0:19:58 | |
crafts style, architecture league,
so quite a special place. Earlier | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
this week we took those Baby
Boomers, 50 of them, 70 -year-olds, | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
to get an idea of what their life is
like these days, how it differs to | 0:20:06 | 0:20:12 | |
other generations and what they make
of being around in this day and age | 0:20:12 | 0:20:17 | |
fit and healthy in most cases. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
We've gathered a group of
septuagenarians from across the UK | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
to deliberate, cogitate and
celebrate life at 70. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:31 | |
Here at the Hall Theatre in Crawley,
a town also born in 1947, it is | 0:20:31 | 0:20:37 | |
panto season and behind us is the
set for Snow white and the seven | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
balls. So the first question is
about going off to work. How many of | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
you here are still working? Workers
over there please. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
People either retired or not working
over on that side please. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
In our group 28% still work. This
isn't a scientific survey, of | 0:20:54 | 0:20:59 | |
course, but in 2005 the national | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
isn't a scientific survey, of
course, but in 2005 the national | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
figure was less than 5%. So you've
gone back to work? Yes, because I | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
wanted to keep my brain going and I
wanted to give back actually all | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
that I have learnt in 70 years.
Going well? Love it, love it. I'm | 0:21:10 | 0:21:18 | |
now do things I want to do rather
than things I have to do. I work in | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
the fuel industry. A lot of people
think I looked like Robert De Niro. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
I was going to say Robert De Niro.
You talking to me? How many of you | 0:21:28 | 0:21:34 | |
are active at least once a week, I'm
talking about a brisk walk, maybe | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
jogging. 78% say they exercise. I'm
still competing in triathlons. Wow! | 0:21:38 | 0:21:47 | |
I do three sessions. Yoga. Pilates,
tai chi and tennis. No, I have never | 0:21:47 | 0:21:59 | |
been interested in sport. Ira Ly on
genetics, all my family died all, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:05 | |
didn't like sport, so I'm depending
on that -- I rely. How many of you | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
feel financially stable? 88% were
happy with their finances, better of | 0:22:10 | 0:22:17 | |
than younger generations.
My husband and I when we retired | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
sold our house, sold our home. At
the height of the property boom and | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
invested the money.
Our generation, people that did own | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
property have done well with it with
house prices, unlike the younger | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
generation, who are now struggling.
I have to watch my pennies and be | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
careful what I do and can't go on
expensive holidays. There's no way I | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
would think we are poor or
struggling in anyway, but neither | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
are we rich. And still working,
still touring at 70 is Kiki Dee. I | 0:22:46 | 0:22:53 | |
think we're all trucking on really
for various reasons, to make a | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
living, working people, to keep
yourself active in the world if you | 0:22:57 | 0:23:04 | |
like so I think it's a great time to
be 70 actually. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
Some fascinating views, stories and
a real insight I think into what it | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
feels like to be 70 years old in
this day and age but there's one | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
thing I'd definitely learned and
that is 70 is the new... 40! | 0:23:17 | 0:23:23 | |
Good morning. It is organised chaos
here this morning. Hope you enjoyed | 0:23:27 | 0:23:33 | |
meeting those folks, we drank some
of them back to talk to us again | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
this morning and Mike, well done, we
got your shot in at the end when | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
everyone went into a four. It was
his idea and we'll talk to him in a | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
second. Let's introduce you to some
of the residence at Whiteley, Terry | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
and Mori. I should introduce Milo,
we are seeing robots increasingly | 0:23:49 | 0:23:58 | |
being part of people's lives, the
idea of these as a companion for | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
older folks. Mike, it's...
He's all right, isn't he? OK. You | 0:24:03 | 0:24:12 | |
have lived here for how long? Terry,
you have lived here for how long? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:20 | |
Two years now.
What is life like a? Peaceful. Cash | 0:24:20 | 0:24:28 | |
life like here. It is laid out in a
large quadrant, like an idyllic | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
village, what are the parts of life
here that you enjoy the most? I | 0:24:33 | 0:24:41 | |
would say it is the nature, the
surroundings are so beautiful and | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
calm. Yeah, yeah. You are set in
wonderful grounds. I'm going to put | 0:24:46 | 0:24:55 | |
my lowdown on the ground, maybe he
needs to go to the loo! It is set in | 0:24:55 | 0:25:00 | |
a beautiful natural environment
here, isn't it? Yes. I know there | 0:25:00 | 0:25:05 | |
are lots of different organisations
and clubs to get involved in? | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
We've got a whole range of things.
If you want to join the something | 0:25:08 | 0:25:14 | |
it's going to be out there and if it
isn't then you can start it yourself | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
and gather people in. Let's talk to
some of the people we met in the | 0:25:18 | 0:25:26 | |
film earlier. Mike, thanks for
coming up with the idea of putting a | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
four in the end of our piece on it
worked particularly well. We were | 0:25:30 | 0:25:36 | |
talking on social media about three
things that you feel as a | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
70-year-old, lots of people talked
family and talked about feeling fit | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
and healthy, perhaps more than
previous generations would have | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
expected to be at 70. We all keep
active. Once upon a time you got to | 0:25:47 | 0:25:53 | |
50 and you slowed down and stop but
I don't think we have stopped, we | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
are all as active as we were in our
youth. One of our colleagues was | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
doing his triathlons. Sitting next
to you. You have brought your medal, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
show us your medal. That is just
this year's haul. Leslie, singing is | 0:26:07 | 0:26:15 | |
something that keeps you going?
It does, it keeps me very alert and | 0:26:15 | 0:26:20 | |
it is a fun thing to do. Icing with
an acapella... Icing with an | 0:26:20 | 0:26:30 | |
acapella harmony group, women, I
love it, ages 30 to 70 -- icing | 0:26:30 | 0:26:36 | |
with. I'm the oldest, of course! It
is great fun. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
Wonderful, great to see you and we
will talk more to others during the | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
morning. Singing a big thing for us
over the next couple of weeks but | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
from Whiteley Village for the time
being, back to the studio and you | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
will see Ben next. Where has my
Rogue one, where has the robot gone? | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
Did you kick it? -- Mira. Here he
is, thank you very much. Is that | 0:26:59 | 0:27:08 | |
going on your Christmas list?
I will get you one as well, Naga, is | 0:27:08 | 0:27:16 | |
that OK? John, thank you very much.
Slightly stole the show, didn't it? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:22 | |
Certainly did, a very calm dog in
the background as well. It is all | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
happening | 0:27:26 | 0:30:44 | |
however, we're looking at more
sunshine around. Some fog patches to | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
start the day on Sunday but feeling
milder. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
I'm back with the latest
from the BBC London newsroom | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
in half an hour. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:53 | |
Bye for now. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:57 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
Munchetty. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:00 | |
It's 6:30. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:00 | |
We'll bring you all the latest news
and sport in a moment, | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
but also on Breakfast this morning: | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
The heart-stopping moment
when a drunk man scrambles | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
across the train tracks. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:08 | |
We'll hear a warning
from Network Rail about an increase | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
in the number of incidents
involving alcohol. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:16 | |
Also this morning, there's trouble
brewing in panto-land after a mum | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
complained a performance
of Dick Wittington was too | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
rude for children. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:22 | |
So is it time for this
Christmas tradition to clean | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
up its act? | 0:31:25 | 0:31:30 | |
If you ever see me walk out on a
stage you will always see me put my | 0:31:30 | 0:31:35 | |
hand out, I look for her in the
audience. Your wife? I look straight | 0:31:35 | 0:31:39 | |
at her, and it is a way of saying,
whatever happens, success or | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
failure, we've got each other. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
And, he might be a Hollywood
megastar but Hugh Jackman told me | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
how his wife's unconditional love
has helped him deal with his nerves. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
Good morning, here's a summary
of this morning's main stories | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
from BBC News. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:55 | |
Brexit negotiations will reach a key
milestone today when EU leaders | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
are expected give the green
light for talks to move | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
to the second stage. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:02 | |
At a dinner in Brussels last night,
Theresa May was applauded | 0:32:02 | 0:32:05 | |
by her fellow leaders
after stressing her desire | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
for a "smooth" departure. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:08 | |
Talks will now focus
on the transition deal | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
between the two sides
as well as the UK's relationship | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
and trading arrangements
with the European Union. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:17 | |
One in six parents in the UK
gives their children alcohol | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
by the age of 14,
according to new research. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
That's despite medical advice
which says children should not drink | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
until they are at
least a year older. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
Researchers from University College
London also found white, | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
well-educated parents were most
likely to have a relaxed attitude | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
to young people drinking. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:44 | |
The Church of England has apologised
for failings in the investigation of | 0:32:44 | 0:32:49 | |
a Bishop 50 years after his death.
An independent review into the form | 0:32:49 | 0:32:55 | |
-- former Bishop of Chichester,
George Pell, is being published this | 0:32:55 | 0:33:01 | |
morning. He died in 1958. -- George
Bell. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:06 | |
9 million adults in the UK
are chronically lonely, | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
according to a commission set
up by the MP Jo Cox, | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
before her murder. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:12 | |
It says loneliness is as harmful
to health as smoking 15 cigarettes | 0:33:12 | 0:33:16 | |
a day, and calls for a national
strategy to address the problem. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
The government said it welcomed
the report and would set out plans | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
to tackle the issue in the new year. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
Britain's most senior military
officer has warned of a new threat | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
posed by Russia to communications
cables that run under the sea. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
The head of the Defence Staff,
Air Chief Marshall Sir Stuart Peach, | 0:33:30 | 0:33:34 | |
said Britain and NATO must avoid
the risk of a potentially | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
"catastrophic" effect on the economy
if the cables were cut. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:43 | |
Need to get updated on the cricket.
It is happening now. A wicket for | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
England! One great thing about test
cricket is that your fortunes can | 0:33:47 | 0:33:52 | |
switch quicker than the flick of a
fox's tale. One moment to Australian | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
since they are getting back into it,
and then England make a breakthrough | 0:33:56 | 0:34:00 | |
in this session of play. It is so
important, because it could | 0:34:00 | 0:34:04 | |
determine whether England get back
into the series. A critical period. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:08 | |
It came after Australia appeared to
be getting back into the match. They | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
got rid of Jonny Bairstow for 119,
England ruled out for 403. A good | 0:34:11 | 0:34:17 | |
score, but they know it could have
been bigger. In Australia appeared | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
to be getting comfortable at the
crease, England found a crack at -- | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
wicket out of nothing. A surprise to
David Warner, getting a touch. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:29 | |
Caught behind. A key batsman, and he
is rather cross with himself. I'm | 0:34:29 | 0:34:33 | |
not surprised. We will have more on
that as it happens throughout | 0:34:33 | 0:34:37 | |
Breakfast. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:39 | |
There'll be no non-league sides
in the third round of the FA Cup | 0:34:39 | 0:34:43 | |
after the last of them - Hereford -
lost 2-0 to Fleetwood | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
in a second round replay last night. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
Cian Bolger scoring both goals. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:49 | |
Fleetwood will play
Leicester in the next round. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
Hayley Turner, the most successful
female jockey in British flat racing | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
has been banned from riding
for three months for | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
breaching betting rules. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:00 | |
She staked 164 bets over
the space of a year and half, | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
which earned her a
profit of 160 pounds. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
Turner retired in 2015
but kept her jockey's licence, | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
so the bets technically
placed her in breach of the rules. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:17 | |
I accept that there has to be some
sort of punishment, definitely. It | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
is I was in the wrong, absolutely.
Three months is quite harsh, though. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:27 | |
But that is their decision and there
is nothing I can do about it. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:33 | |
It is an equestrian sport in which
the wall gets higher and higher. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
Here was a spectacular
performance from Laura Renwick | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
at the Olympia Horse Show in London,
who, rode Top Dollar to victory | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
in the Puissance, clearing 2 metres
20, which no-one else had managed. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
He's a young horse, too,
only eight years old, | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
so all the more impressive. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
Formula 1's new owners are looking
into whether the sport should | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
continue to use grid girls. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:58 | |
F1 has traditionally used female
models to perform duties including | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
holding umbrellas or name-boards. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:01 | |
It's become the subject of debate
as social attitudes have changed - | 0:36:01 | 0:36:04 | |
some races have begun to experiment,
using children as mascots, | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
or male models instead of female. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:12 | |
The PDC World Darts Championship got
under way at London's Alexandra | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
Palace last night, with defending
champion Michael van Gerwen | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
on top form. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:18 | |
'Mighty Mike' took just over half
an hour to beat fellow | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
Dutchman Christian Kist
by three sets to one. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:28 | |
Phil 'The Power' Taylor will be
doing his best to beat him | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
to the title, he begins what will be
the last World Championship | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
of his career tonight. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:41 | |
Really looking forward to it and I
am looking forward to finishing now. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
It is the right time for me. It's
changed, the game is not the same | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
any more. The schedule is too busy.
To qualify, literally, now, it is | 0:36:48 | 0:36:53 | |
like the snooker. You go from one to
limit and the next. You are probably | 0:36:53 | 0:36:58 | |
talking seven days a week and I
can't do that at my age. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:02 | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan found
a novel way to recharge | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
at the Scottish Open
snooker yesterday. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
He took power naps during his match
against China's Hang Li. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:10 | |
He said he was "totally out
for the count" at times. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
It did the trick -
he won that match and another | 0:37:13 | 0:37:16 | |
in the evening to reach
the quarter-finals. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:17 | |
He'll play John Higgins tonight. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:24 | |
That's take some confidence to fall
asleep like that. I should have a | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
nap in between sport stories. He is
very relaxed in general at the | 0:37:28 | 0:37:32 | |
moment. A relaxed attitude, he said
that beforehand. It would be | 0:37:32 | 0:37:36 | |
offputting for your opponent as
well. Completely. I promise I will | 0:37:36 | 0:37:41 | |
not drop. Can I have a drum roll,
please? The winner is... That is | 0:37:41 | 0:37:47 | |
quite good, actually. We can
announce that the overseas BBC | 0:37:47 | 0:37:55 | |
Sports Personality of the Year is
Roger Federer. Yes, he has got the | 0:37:55 | 0:38:00 | |
overseas award again after winning
his eighth Wimbledon title at the | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
age of 35. He defied the odds on
previous injuries to win Wimbledon | 0:38:03 | 0:38:09 | |
and the Australian Open in 2017, to
take his Grand Slam tally to 19. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
This is a record fourth time that
Federer has won the award, which is | 0:38:13 | 0:38:18 | |
incredible. He is the oldest open
era winner of Wimbledon as well. My | 0:38:18 | 0:38:23 | |
goodness, this is big and heavy. The
Sports Personality of the Year | 0:38:23 | 0:38:28 | |
trophy, to be handed out on Sunday
night. It is spectacular. It looks | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |
like a cake. Yes, it is, with all
those tiers. Four tiers. We were | 0:38:32 | 0:38:39 | |
talking about names before, there
are still five when Shields left. It | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
has been going since 1954, so not
many left. They are beneath your | 0:38:43 | 0:38:48 | |
hand. So, it is announced this
Sunday? Yes, 12 contenders. You can | 0:38:48 | 0:38:55 | |
go on the BBC sports website to find
out who will take over from Andy | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
Murray, who won last year. I
remember him lifting it, you have to | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
be a sports person to lift it. It is
heavy. Be careful. I will take it | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
away now, it has been dropped in the
last few days. Don't drop it. I am | 0:39:07 | 0:39:13 | |
cuddling it, like big bear. The
people who are involved in this, | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
they will be petrified watching him
handle that. I'm putting it on the | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
table. I am expecting a great big
crash. No. 6:39am is the time. The | 0:39:20 | 0:39:27 | |
weather is coming up in a few
minutes. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
Damp, dirty and cockroach infested. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
That's how a local government
watchdog has described the temporary | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
accommodation some homeless families
in England are being forced | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
to stay in. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:38 | |
A damning report says people
are being left for weeks on end | 0:39:38 | 0:39:41 | |
in spaces which are "squalid,
Dickensian and simply unacceptable | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
in modern society." | 0:39:43 | 0:39:44 | |
Michael King, the local government
and social care ombudsman joins us. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:49 | |
Good morning. There are different
kinds of homelessness, one is the | 0:39:49 | 0:39:54 | |
very visible one that people see at
this time of year, people in the | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
street. Your talking about a
different kind of homelessness? | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
Absolutely. People think of
homelessness is, and they think of | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
people sleeping in a shop doorway.
What our reporters exposing is what | 0:40:04 | 0:40:08 | |
is called hidden homelessness. These
are families who are perhaps living | 0:40:08 | 0:40:12 | |
in completely stable accommodation.
They get a bit from a private | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
rental, and suddenly they find
themselves in a situation they never | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
envisaged they would be in. They go
to the local authority for help and | 0:40:20 | 0:40:25 | |
in too many cases that we
investigate, they end up living in | 0:40:25 | 0:40:31 | |
unsuitable temporary
bed-and-breakfast type | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
accommodation. Sometimes a whole
family living in one room. How do | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
these types of accommodation get on
the list? So to speak? That these | 0:40:36 | 0:40:42 | |
people are sent to? The local
authority has a duty to house | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
people, and sometimes without
homeless, especially they have young | 0:40:45 | 0:40:49 | |
children, local authority has to
struggle to find a place to place | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
them. What we are seeing
increasingly is that local | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
authorities used to just be in
London, but in other parts of the | 0:40:55 | 0:40:59 | |
country they struggle to find
anywhere suitable to the vehicle. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
Families should never be in
temporary connotation. Where do they | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
find it? Most of it is private
rented accommodation, increasingly | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
rented Ivy night. Lots of it is
absolutely horrendous, as you say. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:14 | |
We've seen situations where a family
with a young baby who had special | 0:41:14 | 0:41:18 | |
dietary needs, the baby had to go to
hospital over and over again because | 0:41:18 | 0:41:22 | |
they didn't have access to a clean
kitchen. That is not untypical. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
There are rules in place the reason,
to stop the things you are talking | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
about. Explain this to us, the
six-week rule, suppliers, after six | 0:41:29 | 0:41:33 | |
weeks in temporary accommodation
they have to be rehoused? But you | 0:41:33 | 0:41:37 | |
are saying that simply isn't
happening? It isn't. In the cases we | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
see, last year, the case that we
investigated, the minimum was 90 | 0:41:41 | 0:41:46 | |
weeks, which is three times the
legal limits. We saw people in this | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
kind of accommodation for 20 or 30
months. In practice, what is | 0:41:49 | 0:41:53 | |
happening, you get to the end of
that six-week period and even if | 0:41:53 | 0:41:57 | |
people know their rights, we are
dealing with people who are really | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
struggling, aren't we, they go to
the housing officer and say my six | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
weeks is up, so... Nothing happens.
Do they have legal redress? They | 0:42:03 | 0:42:10 | |
have a legal right to review. They
get the council to review the cop -- | 0:42:10 | 0:42:16 | |
the quality of accommodation. But
lots of local authorities are simply | 0:42:16 | 0:42:20 | |
not telling them of their right to
review, and not telling them to come | 0:42:20 | 0:42:24 | |
to us. We are completely independent
of the council. We can investigate. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
But people are not being told of our
rights enveloped in appalling | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
conditions. How do they find out
about their rights? Sometimes people | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
go to the Citizens' Advice Bureau.
The local authority should the going | 0:42:35 | 0:42:40 | |
and telling them that they can
request a review of the connotation. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
We have seen situations where people
complain about the accommodation and | 0:42:43 | 0:42:47 | |
the council still doesn't help them.
A very interesting subject and | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
something we will talk about much
longer. We should say, the | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
government has said even one person
without a roof over their head is | 0:42:54 | 0:42:58 | |
too many and we are determined to
tackle all forms of homelessness, | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
and the government is promoting the
Homelessness Reduction Act, the | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
biggest change to homelessness
regulation in decades, which will | 0:43:05 | 0:43:09 | |
put -- which will require councils
to provide support to people being | 0:43:09 | 0:43:13 | |
left at risk of nowhere to go. It is
6:43 a.m.. Matt has the weather, | 0:43:13 | 0:43:19 | |
surrounded by some magnificent
scenery. This is not what we | 0:43:19 | 0:43:23 | |
traditionally think of Longleat
house looking? | 0:43:23 | 0:43:26 | |
Good morning. We are at the festival
of light. A very good morning to | 0:43:29 | 0:43:35 | |
stunning structures behind us, one
year in the making. These lanterns | 0:43:35 | 0:43:39 | |
which cover the grounds around the
house involve around 70 tons of | 0:43:39 | 0:43:44 | |
steel and 30,000 metres of fabric
which can wrap around the house, 124 | 0:43:44 | 0:43:49 | |
times. The theme this year, if you
haven't guessed, is the magical | 0:43:49 | 0:43:54 | |
storytelling. Quite aptly, we are
amongst the Snow Queen tale. Some of | 0:43:54 | 0:44:00 | |
you have seen a bit of snow this
morning. Let's look at the forecast | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
today and into the weekend. The
forecast is surely across the United | 0:44:04 | 0:44:09 | |
Kingdom. Frost and ice around. Sleet
and snow flurries overnight, a bit | 0:44:09 | 0:44:14 | |
of snow around Stansted and Luton.
The showers you have seen around | 0:44:14 | 0:44:18 | |
southern England are on their way
out. Either time we get to the end | 0:44:18 | 0:44:21 | |
of rush hour they will be on the
south coast at Toukley. The Sun will | 0:44:21 | 0:44:25 | |
be turning brighter as well. Across
eastern counties of England as well, | 0:44:25 | 0:44:29 | |
a different day. You've got lots
more cloud, showers coming and going | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
all day. Rain, sleet and snow. You
don't have to come too far of the | 0:44:32 | 0:44:37 | |
west of the Pennines, the Midlands
and into Scotland, it will be | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
largely dry and sunny in Scotland,
but a frosty and icy start. HQ | 0:44:41 | 0:44:45 | |
showers in northern Scotland, one or
two for Northern Ireland, nowhere | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
near as many as yesterday. The same
can be said for Wales in the | 0:44:48 | 0:44:52 | |
south-west of England. Parts of
Wales and south-west England will | 0:44:52 | 0:44:56 | |
see showers through the day, but
into Devon and the rest of Wales and | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
much of south-west England it will
be dry and sunny. Once we have lost | 0:45:00 | 0:45:04 | |
the showers we have had over the
past half an hour or so. Eastern | 0:45:04 | 0:45:09 | |
areas are most prone to showers.
Wintry in nature, especially over | 0:45:09 | 0:45:14 | |
the hills. Quite a raw wind blowing
throughout the day. Further west, | 0:45:14 | 0:45:20 | |
other than those showers along the
coast, we have lots of dry and sunny | 0:45:20 | 0:45:24 | |
weather, except those showers way
out in the west. Temperatures today | 0:45:24 | 0:45:28 | |
will be lower than yesterday. Around
2- six degrees across many parts of | 0:45:28 | 0:45:32 | |
the country. That is how it looks
today. It is set to get milder as we | 0:45:32 | 0:45:37 | |
go into the weekend. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:44 | |
There is concern from some viewers
on social media about your hands, | 0:45:44 | 0:45:49 | |
they're worried you have holes in
your gloves? I don't know what | 0:45:49 | 0:45:52 | |
you're talking about! They've got
bigger as we've gone through the | 0:45:52 | 0:45:56 | |
morning I'm afraid but they are
quite handy in that I can operate my | 0:45:56 | 0:46:00 | |
phone without taking my gloves of.
Perfect design, it's a design thing, | 0:46:00 | 0:46:06 | |
it isn't a fault! Exactly, who needs
fancy gloves? Chris Mears is coming, | 0:46:06 | 0:46:12 | |
we'll see what that brings! --
Christmas is coming. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:16 | |
This morning we're looking
at what it's like to be 70 in 2017. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:19 | |
With life expectancy increasing,
financing retirement | 0:46:19 | 0:46:21 | |
is a key concern. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:22 | |
Ben is in Walton-on-Thames
this morning. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:30 | |
Good morning. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:31 | |
Good morning. Welcome to Surrey. We
are here because we're looking at | 0:46:31 | 0:46:36 | |
the implications of turning 70.
Record numbers of people doing so | 0:46:36 | 0:46:39 | |
this year. That comes with all sorts
of associated costs. Are people | 0:46:39 | 0:46:45 | |
putting enough money away? Changes
to pensions over the last few years | 0:46:45 | 0:46:49 | |
have made it much more complicated
some say that has deterred people | 0:46:49 | 0:46:53 | |
saving for older age at of course
more people are living longer and | 0:46:53 | 0:46:57 | |
that will cost everyone a bit more
so we're going to look at some of | 0:46:57 | 0:47:01 | |
the implications for them. We are
here meeting all sorts of people and | 0:47:01 | 0:47:05 | |
I want to introduce you to two
guests here this morning, Shandra, | 0:47:05 | 0:47:11 | |
the chief executive of this
organisation, and Danielle from the | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
pensions policy Institute. This is a
pretty unique facility, talk us | 0:47:14 | 0:47:20 | |
through what is here and who lives
here. We have a village full of 500 | 0:47:20 | 0:47:25 | |
people, older people, of limited
means and that means most of the | 0:47:25 | 0:47:29 | |
people who live with us only have a
state pension and it means they're | 0:47:29 | 0:47:33 | |
eligible for state benefits
potentially around their housing | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
need and around care costs. Within
the whole village we have facilities | 0:47:35 | 0:47:40 | |
for people to live independently in
cottages, extra care facilities | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
where people live in flats and have
care provided and we have | 0:47:43 | 0:47:50 | |
residential and nursing care as well
but the village is a totality and | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
that's what makes it different, we
have community facilities. You | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
touched on it, when people get to
70, very different needs, some are | 0:47:56 | 0:48:00 | |
very fit and active and healthy and
others need more support and you can | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
do that here? We do, that's the
beauty of living in a community like | 0:48:03 | 0:48:07 | |
this because there's different
resources and facilities but our | 0:48:07 | 0:48:10 | |
biggest resource other people living
here and they help each other and | 0:48:10 | 0:48:14 | |
the volunteering element with what
people do on a day-to-day basis | 0:48:14 | 0:48:17 | |
makes a big difference. It's not
just about money, it's about people | 0:48:17 | 0:48:28 | |
connecting and bringing their gifts
and contributions as people to this | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
community, not just their money.
Daniela, this is a pretty unique | 0:48:31 | 0:48:34 | |
facility, it's not the same for
everyone nationwide, when we talk | 0:48:34 | 0:48:37 | |
about costs, or should we reconsider
how much money we're putting way for | 0:48:37 | 0:48:41 | |
older age because we're all living
longer and that costs more? There | 0:48:41 | 0:48:44 | |
are fundamental misunderstandings
about how much people need to live | 0:48:44 | 0:48:50 | |
in retirement and the government is
trying to address this through | 0:48:50 | 0:48:53 | |
automatic enrolment, most people
with a job are in rolled into a | 0:48:53 | 0:48:57 | |
workplace pension, but that won't
fill the gap on its own. If you want | 0:48:57 | 0:49:01 | |
to look at how much people need for
retirement, most people want to | 0:49:01 | 0:49:05 | |
replicate the working life living
standards they have when they get to | 0:49:05 | 0:49:08 | |
retirement and to do that you
probably need 70% of what you had | 0:49:08 | 0:49:12 | |
during working life. Looking at the
state pension going forward, the new | 0:49:12 | 0:49:17 | |
state pension provides around 24% of
average earnings so if you want the | 0:49:17 | 0:49:21 | |
same living standards in working
life in retirement that you had in | 0:49:21 | 0:49:25 | |
working life, you might need another
50% of income you generate from your | 0:49:25 | 0:49:29 | |
private pension and that means
saving a lot of money for a long | 0:49:29 | 0:49:33 | |
time into a private pension. And
people aren't putting that money | 0:49:33 | 0:49:36 | |
away, they think £100 a month will
buy them a comfortable retirement, | 0:49:36 | 0:49:42 | |
that won't happen? Lots of this is
based on what they have seen their | 0:49:42 | 0:49:47 | |
parents do, we're coming from a
generation where people depended | 0:49:47 | 0:49:51 | |
solely on a state pension or an
employee at pension and we didn't | 0:49:51 | 0:49:56 | |
have a savings culture where people
had to make a decision about how | 0:49:56 | 0:49:59 | |
much to put away every month into a
private pensions team so we're | 0:49:59 | 0:50:03 | |
seeing a revolution into how people
save. The amount of money people get | 0:50:03 | 0:50:07 | |
from the state pension will be lower
in future than now so they're going | 0:50:07 | 0:50:11 | |
to need to save more with a private
pension. Chandra, is there a danger | 0:50:11 | 0:50:16 | |
we look at the Baby Boomers and
think they are so well off, they | 0:50:16 | 0:50:20 | |
have had things so good for so long.
That's not the case but it's the | 0:50:20 | 0:50:30 | |
misconception, isn't it? It is an
things happen in people's lives that | 0:50:30 | 0:50:33 | |
are very unexpected and people who
come here have lost a partner or | 0:50:33 | 0:50:36 | |
lost a home or lost a job and
actually it has put them into | 0:50:36 | 0:50:40 | |
difficulties they couldn't have
planned for and those people really | 0:50:40 | 0:50:43 | |
need support and assistance in order
to live a good older age period. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:48 | |
Daniela, a final thought on that
misconception about older age, that | 0:50:48 | 0:50:52 | |
actually it will cost people a lot
of money and it's not going to be | 0:50:52 | 0:50:56 | |
the same for everybody, depending on
people's life experience? | 0:50:56 | 0:51:00 | |
We need to remember older people are
just as diverse as people of working | 0:51:00 | 0:51:04 | |
age and there's been a lot of media
coverage of studies saying people | 0:51:04 | 0:51:09 | |
are getting richer as they get older
but what's happening is we are | 0:51:09 | 0:51:13 | |
looking at a cohort of people in
their 60s and early 70s who are | 0:51:13 | 0:51:17 | |
either still working or had a
partner still working, so they're | 0:51:17 | 0:51:21 | |
receiving income from earnings. But
if you look at people in their 80s | 0:51:21 | 0:51:25 | |
and 90s, you see they are poorer and
as people age their income | 0:51:25 | 0:51:28 | |
decreases. We can't just put them
away and say these people are well | 0:51:28 | 0:51:33 | |
off and off, we need you still pay
attention and make sure pensioners | 0:51:33 | 0:51:36 | |
don't fall into poverty. Daniela,
Chandra, thanks for that. It's so | 0:51:36 | 0:51:43 | |
interesting, the misconception about
how much money we need to put away | 0:51:43 | 0:51:47 | |
to save for our old age. In the next
hour we will talk about older people | 0:51:47 | 0:51:51 | |
going back to work. We will look at
that and meet some people who are | 0:51:51 | 0:51:55 | |
doing just that. See you later.
Thanks, Ben, see you later on. | 0:51:55 | 0:52:03 | |
If you want to make a movie
about the man dubbed | 0:52:03 | 0:52:06 | |
The Greatest Showman
and the inventor of showbusiness, | 0:52:06 | 0:52:08 | |
only a star of many
talents will fit the bill. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
With his background
in musicals and blockbuster | 0:52:11 | 0:52:13 | |
credentials Hugh Jackman,
is unsurprisingly, a good match | 0:52:13 | 0:52:15 | |
for the visionary circus master PT | 0:52:15 | 0:52:16 | |
Barnum who rose from nothing
to create a spectacle that became | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
a worldwide sensation. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:20 | |
I caught up with Hugh to talk
about everything from top hat | 0:52:20 | 0:52:23 | |
skills, to conquering nerves
and his Christmas plans. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:26 | |
I caught up with Hugh to talk
about everything from top hat | 0:52:26 | 0:52:29 | |
skills, to conquering nerves
and his Christmas plans. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:31 | |
I knew it. There we go. As soon as
you had it in your hand, that's | 0:52:31 | 0:52:35 | |
easy, how do you do it so many
times? This one I had to do, are we | 0:52:35 | 0:52:40 | |
widen of? That I would have done
6000 times in my life. This was me | 0:52:40 | 0:52:44 | |
on set all day. It looks easy but I
dropped about the first 300. I'm | 0:52:44 | 0:52:48 | |
putting together a show. It's a
place where people can see things | 0:52:48 | 0:52:51 | |
they've never seen before. What did
you know about barn, the character? | 0:52:51 | 0:52:55 | |
I'd seen a musical, a Broadway
musical in the 70s, Michael Crocker | 0:52:55 | 0:52:58 | |
did famously for four years here so
I knew the story from that. I've | 0:52:58 | 0:53:02 | |
read so many books on him and he's
one of the most material interesting | 0:53:02 | 0:53:07 | |
self promoting characters there's
ever been and he is the true | 0:53:07 | 0:53:09 | |
definition of a disrupter, which we
use a lot these days to describe | 0:53:09 | 0:53:14 | |
Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve jobs. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:17 | |
Parts of what he was doing them, the
show he created, feel a bit | 0:53:27 | 0:53:32 | |
uncomfortable now, don't they? It's
interesting, at the time he was | 0:53:32 | 0:53:36 | |
accused of exploiting people because
a lot of the people remember the | 0:53:36 | 0:53:39 | |
movie elephant man or they
understand there was this sort of | 0:53:39 | 0:53:42 | |
seedy side to show business, back
alleys where you would go and see a | 0:53:42 | 0:53:47 | |
bearded person or whatever, some
kind of deformity and people were | 0:53:47 | 0:53:51 | |
making money off that. He brought
them out into the open and | 0:53:51 | 0:53:56 | |
interestingly he inadvertently
created this family and he | 0:53:56 | 0:53:59 | |
inadvertently may the entire world
fall in love with these people. A | 0:53:59 | 0:54:02 | |
lot of these people had been hidden
in basements literally by their | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
families and they felt love and
acceptance for the first time and | 0:54:06 | 0:54:09 | |
they loved him for it.
Icon just wrong off and join the | 0:54:09 | 0:54:13 | |
circus? Why not. You clearly have a
flair for show business. For show | 0:54:13 | 0:54:20 | |
business? Of never heard of it. I
think people think of you as a very | 0:54:20 | 0:54:24 | |
confident performer but as I
understand it you over the years, | 0:54:24 | 0:54:28 | |
your own things, self-doubts and
whatever. I'm more afraid of the | 0:54:28 | 0:54:32 | |
stopping me living my life or
stopping me make choices. For | 0:54:32 | 0:54:38 | |
example, when I was asked to host
the Oscars I was actually in this | 0:54:38 | 0:54:41 | |
hotel when I got the call, it was
1am, and I just went, I make it from | 0:54:41 | 0:54:48 | |
Australia, and they said yes, of
course, it was Spielberg down the | 0:54:48 | 0:54:52 | |
line. When I hung up the phone ten
minutes later I said, what did I do? | 0:54:52 | 0:54:57 | |
You didn't have to say yes to that.
I do have doubts. It's been a good | 0:54:57 | 0:55:01 | |
motivator for me in my life. It's
frightening but it will be OK in the | 0:55:01 | 0:55:06 | |
end. I think that's got to do with a
couple of things, I think it's got a | 0:55:06 | 0:55:11 | |
lot to do with my relationship with
De. If you ever see me walk out onto | 0:55:11 | 0:55:20 | |
a stage you will see me put my hand
down. That's your wife? I will look | 0:55:20 | 0:55:24 | |
for her and it's a way of saying
whatever happens, success or | 0:55:24 | 0:55:27 | |
failure, we've got each other but it
sounds corny but for me that kind of | 0:55:27 | 0:55:31 | |
security has really helped me, that
kind of unconditional love has | 0:55:31 | 0:55:34 | |
really helped me. Hugh Jackman's
Christmas. In Australia this time. | 0:55:34 | 0:55:38 | |
It will be hot. You live on the
beach? Definitely go on the beach | 0:55:38 | 0:55:42 | |
and we do the whole hot dinner
catastrophe, we do everything. I | 0:55:42 | 0:55:46 | |
have English parents so to me
Christmas has do have gravy, roast | 0:55:46 | 0:55:51 | |
potatoes, ham and turkey, Christmas
putting with the little 5 cents | 0:55:51 | 0:55:55 | |
piece is stuck in the middle, brandy
butter, custard, the whole thing, | 0:55:55 | 0:56:00 | |
sweating, the paper hats
disintegrating, bad jokes, the whole | 0:56:00 | 0:56:03 | |
thing. Lovely! Charlie, thanks mate.
He called you mate. He's Australian, | 0:56:03 | 0:56:10 | |
isn't he! | 0:56:10 | 0:56:15 | |
Christmas in Australia. Hot meal,
even though it is hot outside, they | 0:56:15 | 0:56:19 | |
do the whole turkey thing. The Ashes
is on in Australia and Mike will | 0:56:19 | 0:56:24 | |
keep you up to date on that. Still
to come in this programme... Stormzy | 0:56:24 | 0:56:40 | |
is coming on to join us on the sofa.
He's won three Mobos, he's gained a | 0:56:40 | 0:56:45 | |
Brit award nomination, he beat Ed
Turin to be named the BBC music | 0:56:45 | 0:56:49 | |
artist of 2017 and he's had quite a
good year and we will talk to him | 0:56:49 | 0:56:54 | |
about it | 0:56:54 | 1:00:12 | |
in half an hour. | 1:00:12 | 1:00:13 | |
Plenty more on our website
at the usual address. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:15 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Charlie and naga. | 1:00:15 | 1:00:18 | |
Bye for now. | 1:00:18 | 1:00:18 | |
Hello, this is breakfast with
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. A | 1:00:54 | 1:00:57 | |
round of applause from EU leaders as
Theresa May tell them she can | 1:00:57 | 1:01:01 | |
deliver a smooth Brexit. The show of
support came at a dinner in Brussels | 1:01:01 | 1:01:05 | |
where the EU will today officially
moved Brexit talks to the next age. | 1:01:05 | 1:01:11 | |
Good morning. | 1:01:18 | 1:01:19 | |
It's Friday the 15th of December. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:25 | |
Also on the programme, a new study
finds one in six parents allow their | 1:01:25 | 1:01:29 | |
children to drink at the age of 14,
but doctors warn it puts their | 1:01:29 | 1:01:34 | |
health at risk. In sport, England
perk up in Perth, thanks to one of | 1:01:34 | 1:01:39 | |
their ashes new boys, Craig Overton,
who has taken the wickets of both | 1:01:39 | 1:01:45 | |
the Australian openers. Good
morning. A record number of people | 1:01:45 | 1:01:48 | |
turned 70 this year, so what is life
like for the baby boomers in 2017? I | 1:01:48 | 1:01:54 | |
am eating patterned Oscar this
morning at a retirement village in | 1:01:54 | 1:01:57 | |
Surrey to find out. -- meeting Pat
and Oscar. As he takes on the role | 1:01:57 | 1:02:06 | |
of the greatest showman, Hugh Jack
and tells me how he got into | 1:02:06 | 1:02:09 | |
character. This was me on sat all
day. It looks easy, but I dropped | 1:02:09 | 1:02:13 | |
the first 300. Matt has the weather,
enjoying a festival of light. Good | 1:02:13 | 1:02:19 | |
morning. What better way to brighten
up these dark winter mornings then | 1:02:19 | 1:02:28 | |
here at Longleat at the festival of
light? Hundreds of lanterns, and if | 1:02:28 | 1:02:32 | |
you cannot guess the thing, I'm sure
you can, the magical storytelling. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:37 | |
The weather story for today and the
weekend is staying cold across the | 1:02:37 | 1:02:41 | |
country, but with more sunshine
around after an icy start. Changes | 1:02:41 | 1:02:45 | |
this weekend, it is set to get
milder. I had detailed forecast in | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
up. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:53 | |
First, our main story. | 1:02:53 | 1:02:54 | |
Brexit negotiations will reach a key
milestone today when EU leaders | 1:02:54 | 1:02:57 | |
will give the green light for talks
to move to the second stage. | 1:02:57 | 1:03:01 | |
Last night at a dinner
in Brussels, Theresa May insisted | 1:03:01 | 1:03:03 | |
she was on course for
what she termed a "smooth" Brexit. | 1:03:03 | 1:03:06 | |
So what does the next
stage look like? | 1:03:06 | 1:03:09 | |
Talks will now focus
on the transition deal | 1:03:09 | 1:03:11 | |
between the two sides,
as well as their future relationship | 1:03:11 | 1:03:13 | |
and trading arrangements. | 1:03:13 | 1:03:14 | |
Mrs May has said she wants
discussions on transition settled | 1:03:14 | 1:03:17 | |
by March 2018, that's a year before
Britain is due to leave the EU. | 1:03:17 | 1:03:21 | |
But with a Brexit Day vote
in Parliament next week | 1:03:21 | 1:03:23 | |
on whether to put an exact time
and date on that departure, | 1:03:23 | 1:03:27 | |
both sides will be aware
that the clock is ticking. | 1:03:27 | 1:03:29 | |
Our Brussels correspondent Adam
Fleming is in Brussels this morning. | 1:03:29 | 1:03:32 | |
How was Theresa May received by EU
leaders last night? | 1:03:32 | 1:03:47 | |
Either that reporters were not
allowed in last night, but rumours | 1:03:47 | 1:03:50 | |
came out. Paint us a picture. I must
admit I was at the pub last night, | 1:03:50 | 1:03:55 | |
and everybody started getting text
messages saying there was a round of | 1:03:55 | 1:03:59 | |
applause in the European Council
chamber from all the other leaders | 1:03:59 | 1:04:02 | |
on Brexit, which just proves the
sense of relief that there is in | 1:04:02 | 1:04:06 | |
this place that the phase one of
Brexit talks about divorce related | 1:04:06 | 1:04:10 | |
issues, untangling the EU from the
UK, has made enough address that | 1:04:10 | 1:04:17 | |
leaders felt they could breathe a
sigh of relief. A bit of | 1:04:17 | 1:04:21 | |
self-congratulation, too. Apparently
the round of applause was started by | 1:04:21 | 1:04:24 | |
German Chancellor and will muck. --
Angela Merkel. Today is about | 1:04:24 | 1:04:30 | |
agreeing on the blueprint for the
shape of negotiations in phase two. | 1:04:30 | 1:04:34 | |
A 3-page document which will sketch
out how those negotiations unfold. | 1:04:34 | 1:04:38 | |
Three big things to take out of
that. Number one, the UK is reminded | 1:04:38 | 1:04:43 | |
that commitments they made must be
lived up to. No backtracking. The | 1:04:43 | 1:04:47 | |
first thing they will talk about is
the transition phase which will last | 1:04:47 | 1:04:50 | |
a couple of years after Brexit in
2019. Then they will talk about | 1:04:50 | 1:04:54 | |
trade and a future relationship of
insight security and defence. But | 1:04:54 | 1:04:58 | |
not until March 20 18. The big
question is, what do they have for | 1:04:58 | 1:05:05 | |
desert? A festival with a twist.
Donald Tusk's advisers can't tell me | 1:05:05 | 1:05:09 | |
what the twist actually was. These
are the details we need, it helps us | 1:05:09 | 1:05:13 | |
with the picture we have to see. I'm
fascinated now. Intrigued. | 1:05:13 | 1:05:22 | |
One in six parents in the UK
gives their children alcohol | 1:05:22 | 1:05:25 | |
by the age of 14,
according to new research. | 1:05:25 | 1:05:27 | |
That's despite medical advice
which says children should not drink | 1:05:27 | 1:05:30 | |
until they are at
least a year older. | 1:05:30 | 1:05:32 | |
Researchers from
University College London also found | 1:05:32 | 1:05:34 | |
white, well-educated parents
were most likely to have a relaxed | 1:05:34 | 1:05:37 | |
attitude to young people drinking. | 1:05:37 | 1:05:38 | |
Philippa Roxby reports. | 1:05:38 | 1:05:39 | |
This Christmastime many teenagers
will enjoy their first | 1:05:39 | 1:05:41 | |
tipple of alcohol. | 1:05:41 | 1:05:42 | |
But a new study suggests this | 1:05:42 | 1:05:44 | |
may not be a good idea,
because it's harmful to children | 1:05:44 | 1:05:47 | |
and their bodies
aren't ready for it. | 1:05:47 | 1:05:57 | |
The research team from
University College London | 1:05:57 | 1:05:59 | |
and Pennsylvania | 1:05:59 | 1:06:00 | |
State University found 17%
of parents have let their children | 1:06:00 | 1:06:02 | |
drink alcohol by the age of 14. | 1:06:02 | 1:06:04 | |
Well-educated parents
of white children | 1:06:04 | 1:06:06 | |
were more likely to allow
their adolescent children to drink | 1:06:06 | 1:06:08 | |
than unemployed and ethnic
minority parents. | 1:06:08 | 1:06:10 | |
Half of all 14-year-olds said
they had tried more than a few | 1:06:10 | 1:06:13 | |
sips of alcohol. | 1:06:13 | 1:06:15 | |
People at a young age tend
to think it is the right | 1:06:15 | 1:06:19 | |
thing to do, and obviously it is not
really the right thing to do. | 1:06:19 | 1:06:28 | |
It depends on the child really. | 1:06:28 | 1:06:30 | |
On the parents. | 1:06:30 | 1:06:30 | |
And how responsible
they are, really. | 1:06:30 | 1:06:32 | |
If they are encouraging it,
like it is a good thing, | 1:06:32 | 1:06:35 | |
then they might do
it on their own all | 1:06:35 | 1:06:38 | |
the time and think it is OK... | 1:06:38 | 1:06:39 | |
Obviously there is a limit. | 1:06:39 | 1:06:46 | |
The study also found
that light or moderate | 1:06:46 | 1:06:48 | |
drinking parents were just as likely
to let their children have alcohol | 1:06:48 | 1:06:51 | |
as heavy drinking parents. | 1:06:51 | 1:06:56 | |
Parents of socially
advantage children might | 1:06:56 | 1:06:57 | |
believe it's teaching them
responsible alcohol use | 1:06:57 | 1:06:59 | |
and inoculating them
against the future | 1:06:59 | 1:07:01 | |
dangers of alcohol, but we have no
evidence to support this view - | 1:07:01 | 1:07:04 | |
and the chief medical
officer recommends | 1:07:04 | 1:07:06 | |
an alcohol-free childhood,
so no drinking before the age of 15, | 1:07:06 | 1:07:09 | |
because it can be harmful
to their growth and development. | 1:07:09 | 1:07:12 | |
Alcohol charities said
parents needed more | 1:07:12 | 1:07:14 | |
guidance from schools
and doctors on how to talk | 1:07:14 | 1:07:16 | |
to their children about alcohol. | 1:07:16 | 1:07:17 | |
Their advice is to set the rules
for teenagers on alcohol | 1:07:17 | 1:07:20 | |
and to be open and honest
with them about its effects. | 1:07:20 | 1:07:34 | |
The Church of England has apologised
to the family of a bishop for | 1:07:34 | 1:07:38 | |
failings in the ways investigated
allegations of child abuse against | 1:07:38 | 1:07:41 | |
him almost 60 years after his death.
An independent review into the | 1:07:41 | 1:07:45 | |
investigation on the former Bishop
of Chichester, George Bell, is being | 1:07:45 | 1:07:48 | |
published this morning. He died in
1958. | 1:07:48 | 1:07:51 | |
The White House says Donald Trump
and the Russian president, | 1:07:51 | 1:07:54 | |
Vladimir Putin, have discussed
working together to resolve | 1:07:54 | 1:07:56 | |
the crisis over North Korea's
nuclear programme. | 1:07:56 | 1:07:58 | |
Meanwhile, the most senior UN
official to visit North Korea | 1:07:58 | 1:08:01 | |
for six years told the BBC,
Pyongyang should re-open | 1:08:01 | 1:08:03 | |
communication channels with
South Korea, which were suspended | 1:08:03 | 1:08:06 | |
in 2009. | 1:08:06 | 1:08:10 | |
Charges have been brought
against the leader of the far-right | 1:08:10 | 1:08:18 | |
group, Britain First
in connection with a rally held | 1:08:18 | 1:08:20 | |
in Belfast in August. | 1:08:20 | 1:08:21 | |
Paul Golding is accused
of using threatening, | 1:08:21 | 1:08:23 | |
insulting or abusive
words or behaviour. | 1:08:23 | 1:08:25 | |
His group's deputy leader,
Jayda Fransen, appeared in court | 1:08:25 | 1:08:27 | |
yesterday to face the same charge
in relation to the rally. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:31 | |
She was later arrested and charged
in connection with a separate | 1:08:31 | 1:08:33 | |
incident in Belfast on Wednesday. | 1:08:33 | 1:08:35 | |
Nine-million adults in the UK
are chronically lonely, | 1:08:35 | 1:08:37 | |
according to a commission set
up by the MP Jo Cox, | 1:08:37 | 1:08:40 | |
before her murder. | 1:08:40 | 1:08:41 | |
It says loneliness is as harmful
to health as smoking 15 cigarettes | 1:08:41 | 1:08:44 | |
a day, and calls for
a government-led national strategy | 1:08:44 | 1:08:46 | |
to address the problem. | 1:08:46 | 1:08:47 | |
Our North of England correspondent
Danny Savage reports. | 1:08:47 | 1:08:50 | |
You can't catch me. | 1:08:50 | 1:08:51 | |
In the months before
she was murdered, Jo Cox started | 1:08:51 | 1:08:53 | |
a campaign to tackle loneliness. | 1:08:53 | 1:08:55 | |
She said she didn't want to live
in a country where thousands | 1:08:55 | 1:08:58 | |
of people live lonely lives
forgotten by the rest of us. | 1:08:58 | 1:09:01 | |
The campaign carried on in her name
and has now concluded we'll have | 1:09:01 | 1:09:05 | |
to do our bit to combat loneliness. | 1:09:05 | 1:09:07 | |
Susan spent months feeling isolated
and desperate and things improved | 1:09:07 | 1:09:09 | |
hugely when the royal
voluntary service intervened. | 1:09:09 | 1:09:11 | |
I was really alone, I was depressed,
I tried to take my own life. | 1:09:11 | 1:09:15 | |
Really bad. | 1:09:15 | 1:09:16 | |
In a lot of pain. | 1:09:16 | 1:09:17 | |
If it wasn't for these people,
all these people that's helping me | 1:09:17 | 1:09:20 | |
now, I wouldn't be here. | 1:09:20 | 1:09:22 | |
And I appreciate everything that
people have done for me. | 1:09:22 | 1:09:25 | |
It's not always obvious to people
that they might be lonely or in need | 1:09:25 | 1:09:28 | |
of some companionship. | 1:09:28 | 1:09:29 | |
And what we offer isn't somebody
to come in and talk at people. | 1:09:29 | 1:09:33 | |
What we are doing is saying
to people, would you like to be part | 1:09:33 | 1:09:37 | |
of something where you meet
somebody, you get to know them, | 1:09:37 | 1:09:40 | |
they get to know you and you
create a friendship? | 1:09:40 | 1:09:46 | |
The Jo Cox Loneliness Commission has
concluded that government | 1:09:46 | 1:09:49 | |
and employers can do their bit
to deal with loneliness but that | 1:09:49 | 1:09:52 | |
individuals and communities
are just as important | 1:09:52 | 1:09:54 | |
in preventing isolation. | 1:09:54 | 1:09:55 | |
Danny Savage, BBC
News, West Yorkshire. | 1:09:55 | 1:10:03 | |
We are keeping you up to date with
what is happening in the Ashes. It | 1:10:03 | 1:10:09 | |
is a very exciting period. The day
has been ebbing and flowing. Jonny | 1:10:09 | 1:10:15 | |
Bairstow made 119 for England,
helping them build a big score. Then | 1:10:15 | 1:10:18 | |
when he was out for 119 was a
batting collapse. Australia thought | 1:10:18 | 1:10:22 | |
England hadn't done that well but
403 isn't bad. Yes, but it could | 1:10:22 | 1:10:28 | |
have been better. Australia looking
comfortable at the crease until one | 1:10:28 | 1:10:31 | |
of the new boys, making only his
second appearance in a test match. | 1:10:31 | 1:10:35 | |
Craig Overton struck twice. He has
taken to big wickets of David Warner | 1:10:35 | 1:10:43 | |
and is Cameron Bancroft. Look how
annoyed the batsman is, because | 1:10:43 | 1:10:47 | |
Warner was surprised by how it
bounced up. Deflected to the | 1:10:47 | 1:10:52 | |
wicket-keeper and he was caught
behind. What a great moment for | 1:10:52 | 1:10:55 | |
Craig Overton. Remember, he was only
the second wicket-keeper. He can | 1:10:55 | 1:11:03 | |
bowl and bat, he is an all-rounder
from Somerset. Only 23 years of old. | 1:11:03 | 1:11:07 | |
Huge arms, that really helps. There
he is in full swing. England's need | 1:11:07 | 1:11:14 | |
more wickets. Australia, 82 for two.
The next half-hour will be crucial. | 1:11:14 | 1:11:21 | |
Just to be clear, we need a victory
or a draw? Yes, England are 2-0 | 1:11:21 | 1:11:25 | |
down. | 1:11:25 | 1:11:30 | |
Network Rail has released shocking
footage of drunk revellers falling | 1:11:36 | 1:11:38 | |
onto railway tracks in an effort
to warn people of the dangers | 1:11:38 | 1:11:42 | |
of overindulging during
the Christmas period. | 1:11:42 | 1:11:43 | |
The CCTV shows stumbling passengers
tumbling from platforms, | 1:11:43 | 1:11:46 | |
only surviving by the skin
of their teeth thanks to members | 1:11:46 | 1:11:49 | |
of the public. | 1:11:49 | 1:11:50 | |
Scenes like these are
on the rise, over 7,000 | 1:11:50 | 1:11:52 | |
booze-related incidents
were recorded on or around Britain's | 1:11:52 | 1:11:54 | |
railways over the past year. | 1:11:54 | 1:11:56 | |
Allan Spence is head of public
and passenger safety at Network Rail | 1:11:56 | 1:11:59 | |
and joins now from
Leamington Spa station. | 1:11:59 | 1:12:07 | |
Thank you for speaking to us this
morning. Who is this campaign aimed | 1:12:07 | 1:12:10 | |
at? What you hope to achieve?
Travelling by train is absolutely | 1:12:10 | 1:12:17 | |
the safest way to get home after you
have been out for a Christmas party. | 1:12:17 | 1:12:22 | |
This is just make sure that people
do not let that last rink make a | 1:12:22 | 1:12:27 | |
decision for them. You have seen the
footage of people falling from | 1:12:27 | 1:12:30 | |
platforms. That, as well as falling
down escalators, or perhaps misusing | 1:12:30 | 1:12:36 | |
level crossings, that is what we are
really worried about at this time of | 1:12:36 | 1:12:40 | |
year. Make sure you have thought
about how you will get home safely | 1:12:40 | 1:12:44 | |
and keep a clear. Once you get on
the train we can look after you. It | 1:12:44 | 1:12:48 | |
is your accountability to make sure
you do that right as to get onto the | 1:12:48 | 1:12:53 | |
train. You haven't pulled any
punches with this campaign, we will | 1:12:53 | 1:12:56 | |
show some of the images you have
released. They really are shocking. | 1:12:56 | 1:12:59 | |
Very near tragic. You are obviously
very clear that this is a dangerous | 1:12:59 | 1:13:05 | |
time of year, if you are drinking
too much and not being sensible. | 1:13:05 | 1:13:11 | |
Well, we always see an increase in
the alcohol-related incidents over | 1:13:11 | 1:13:14 | |
this time of year. That is why we
are just reaching out to people to | 1:13:14 | 1:13:19 | |
say, once you get on the train, that
is the place to be, we can look | 1:13:19 | 1:13:24 | |
after you. On the way they win EU to
make sure how you have thought about | 1:13:24 | 1:13:29 | |
how you will get home and a clear
head. It is a really simple, but we | 1:13:29 | 1:13:33 | |
don't want people falling from
platform edges, tumbling down | 1:13:33 | 1:13:37 | |
escalators, or getting hit by a
train on a level crossing. Keep a | 1:13:37 | 1:13:42 | |
clear head and we will get you home
safely. What is the most common | 1:13:42 | 1:13:46 | |
mistake revellers make this remark
what is the most common mistake you | 1:13:46 | 1:13:50 | |
see? Most common is actually people
on escalators in our stations. | 1:13:50 | 1:13:56 | |
Moving staircases, when you have had
a few to many, that can be really | 1:13:56 | 1:14:00 | |
quite distracting. We do see quite a
lot of people tumbling on | 1:14:00 | 1:14:05 | |
escalators. That is why we just need
people to be thinking about their | 1:14:05 | 1:14:09 | |
way home. Level crossings, that is
another place where incidents occur? | 1:14:09 | 1:14:12 | |
Indeed. We have seen some tragedies,
just a couple of years ago we had a | 1:14:12 | 1:14:19 | |
boy killed on a level crossing down
in sure. -- Shoreham. We now work | 1:14:19 | 1:14:26 | |
with his mother who is keen to make
sure other people do not ignore the | 1:14:26 | 1:14:30 | |
lights and barriers and sirens, and
think they are in the ball just | 1:14:30 | 1:14:34 | |
because they have had a drink. We
just want to do the right thing. The | 1:14:34 | 1:14:38 | |
test is, if you wouldn't do it
tomorrow morning when you are sober, | 1:14:38 | 1:14:42 | |
do not do it tonight. Allen, thank
you to speaking to us. | 1:14:42 | 1:14:49 | |
It's that time of year,
some of our outside broadcasts | 1:14:58 | 1:15:01 | |
in winter aren't
favoured by being dark. | 1:15:01 | 1:15:02 | |
We are blessed this morning by the
sites at Longleat, which is lit up | 1:15:02 | 1:15:06 | |
rather beautifully. Matt is there
with the weather for us. Good | 1:15:06 | 1:15:14 | |
morning from Longleat, doesn't it
look stunning? Hundreds of lanterns | 1:15:14 | 1:15:19 | |
here at the moment. It's all part of
their festival of light, which runs | 1:15:19 | 1:15:23 | |
until the seventh of January,
perfect for brightening up a winter | 1:15:23 | 1:15:27 | |
morning. The lanterns themselves
have taken about a year to design | 1:15:27 | 1:15:32 | |
and build, they have been made in
China, involving around 70 tons of | 1:15:32 | 1:15:37 | |
iron and around 30,000 metres of
fabric. This one of course is based | 1:15:37 | 1:15:45 | |
on the story of Cinderella. All the
lanterns here are based around the | 1:15:45 | 1:15:49 | |
magic of storytelling. | 1:15:49 | 1:15:50 | |
Let's go to the storytelling of the
weather for this morning and for the | 1:15:51 | 1:15:55 | |
rest of the weekend. Signs of change
afoot. Let's look at the forecast | 1:15:55 | 1:15:59 | |
this morning because it's a
particularly chilly start again in | 1:15:59 | 1:16:04 | |
many areas of the UK. An icy start
following overnight showers. Showers | 1:16:04 | 1:16:11 | |
first thing in southern counties and
then clearing from the south coast, | 1:16:11 | 1:16:14 | |
but a few lingering in the
south-east but once you go it turns | 1:16:14 | 1:16:18 | |
dry for a time but in eastern areas
further showers through the day and | 1:16:18 | 1:16:21 | |
a mixture of rain, sleet and snow
and a raw northerly wind back with | 1:16:21 | 1:16:26 | |
us but further west, drier, western
England and Scotland, sunshine | 1:16:26 | 1:16:30 | |
around. Some freezing fog patches
could take a while to clear and a | 1:16:30 | 1:16:34 | |
few wintry showers in the north of
Scotland and a few in Northern | 1:16:34 | 1:16:38 | |
Ireland but not as many as
yesterday. South-west Wales and | 1:16:38 | 1:16:41 | |
Cornwall will see showers at times,
those heavy with hail, thunder, | 1:16:41 | 1:16:46 | |
sleet and hill snow, much of Wales
and south-west England will be drier | 1:16:46 | 1:16:50 | |
and brighter than yesterday and
actually not quite as windy as it | 1:16:50 | 1:16:54 | |
was. Still a breeze blowing and that
breeze is adding to the chill coming | 1:16:54 | 1:16:58 | |
from a northerly direction and
because the wind has changed | 1:16:58 | 1:17:02 | |
direction, eastern areas prone to
showers but in the west, only a | 1:17:02 | 1:17:06 | |
couple, most will be dry and sunny
but even in the sunshine | 1:17:06 | 1:17:09 | |
temperatures down on yesterday,
around 3-7, at the very best, the | 1:17:09 | 1:17:14 | |
wind making it feel colder than
that. The breeze continues into the | 1:17:14 | 1:17:18 | |
first part of the night and
overnight we will continue with a | 1:17:18 | 1:17:21 | |
few showers around coastal districts
but inland for many it is lengthy | 1:17:21 | 1:17:25 | |
clear skies, the wind slowly turning
a touch lighter into the morning and | 1:17:25 | 1:17:29 | |
that means a widespread sharp frost
will form, temperatures below | 1:17:29 | 1:17:32 | |
freezing in most areas with the risk
of ice and a few freezing fog | 1:17:32 | 1:17:37 | |
patches into the start of Saturday.
A cold start to the weekend, lovely | 1:17:37 | 1:17:41 | |
crisp and bright one, perfect winter
morning for many, but there will be | 1:17:41 | 1:17:46 | |
changes through the day. Eastern
areas tomorrow will be brighter, no | 1:17:46 | 1:17:49 | |
showers around in the afternoon, but
in the west, cloud will increase and | 1:17:49 | 1:17:53 | |
in parts of Wales, the Midlands,
south-west England, the greatest | 1:17:53 | 1:17:57 | |
chance of a few showers. Most will
be dry and in the south-west | 1:17:57 | 1:18:02 | |
temperatures will be up but for
most, cold. Into Sunday, | 1:18:02 | 1:18:06 | |
south-westerly winds kicked in,
milder air pushes too many areas, | 1:18:06 | 1:18:11 | |
taking all day to reach eastern
parts but you will notice from the | 1:18:11 | 1:18:14 | |
chart, a of change. After Saturday's
sunshine comes on Sunday's cloud, | 1:18:14 | 1:18:21 | |
wind and rain. The rain heavy at
times, particularly in the west, and | 1:18:21 | 1:18:26 | |
the winds will be strong and gusty
as well. That's your weather. | 1:18:26 | 1:18:30 | |
Let me leave you with stunning
footage at the festival. We will | 1:18:31 | 1:18:35 | |
start with a look at the fairytale
castle in amongst some of their | 1:18:35 | 1:18:40 | |
amazing story telling lanterns that
we have at Longleat this morning. | 1:18:40 | 1:18:45 | |
More in amongst the lanterns in the
next half an hour but now, in the | 1:18:45 | 1:18:49 | |
time being, back to nag and Charlie.
A beacon of light in a festival of | 1:18:49 | 1:18:54 | |
light. Thanks, Matt! | 1:18:54 | 1:18:58 | |
More people than every before
will have turned 70 in 2017. | 1:18:58 | 1:19:04 | |
That's according to the Office
of National Statistics. | 1:19:04 | 1:19:09 | |
There are nearly 800,000 baby
boomers celebrating the milestone. | 1:19:09 | 1:19:12 | |
So what's it like for
the generation who have | 1:19:12 | 1:19:14 | |
been through some of the world's
biggest cultural and social changes? | 1:19:14 | 1:19:17 | |
Breakfast's John Maguire
is in Walton-on-Thames in Surrey. | 1:19:17 | 1:19:20 | |
You have made a friend, John? You
can possibly tell there's an | 1:19:20 | 1:19:28 | |
undercurrent of laughter this
morning because everyone is laughing | 1:19:28 | 1:19:32 | |
at Miro the dog, who is upstaging me
this morning. We are used to | 1:19:32 | 1:19:40 | |
technology playing a big role in our
lives, the idea is he is a virtual | 1:19:40 | 1:19:45 | |
pet, providing comfort, and relay
vital information back to a GP | 1:19:45 | 1:19:49 | |
clinic. On going to pop him into the
corner. We are in Whiteley Village, | 1:19:49 | 1:19:56 | |
with some people turning 70 this
year, and some residents, it's been | 1:19:56 | 1:20:00 | |
here for 100 years, celebrating its
centenary this year, built by a | 1:20:00 | 1:20:06 | |
Victorian philanthropist. We will
hear about life in the village later | 1:20:06 | 1:20:10 | |
on but first let's hear from these
folks and some of their friends | 1:20:10 | 1:20:16 | |
about how life these days begins at
70. | 1:20:16 | 1:20:19 | |
We've gathered a group of
septuagenarians from across the UK | 1:20:19 | 1:20:21 | |
to deliberate, cogitate
and celebrate life at 70. | 1:20:21 | 1:20:26 | |
Here at the Hawth Theatre
in Crawley, a town also born | 1:20:26 | 1:20:32 | |
in 1947, it's panto season
and behind us is the set for Snow | 1:20:32 | 1:20:43 | |
White and the Seven Dwarfs. | 1:20:43 | 1:20:44 | |
So the first question
is about going off to work. | 1:20:44 | 1:20:47 | |
How many of you here
are still working? | 1:20:47 | 1:20:49 | |
Workers over there please. | 1:20:49 | 1:20:50 | |
People either retired or not working
over on that side please. | 1:20:50 | 1:20:53 | |
In our group, 28% still work. | 1:20:53 | 1:20:55 | |
This isn't a scientific survey,
of course, but in 2005 the national | 1:20:55 | 1:20:59 | |
figure was less than 5%. | 1:20:59 | 1:21:00 | |
So you've gone back to work? | 1:21:00 | 1:21:02 | |
Yes, because I wanted
to keep my brain going and I wanted | 1:21:02 | 1:21:05 | |
to give back actually all that
I have learnt in 70 years. | 1:21:05 | 1:21:09 | |
Going well?
Love it, love it. | 1:21:09 | 1:21:10 | |
I'm now do things I want to do
rather than things I have to do. | 1:21:10 | 1:21:15 | |
I work in the film industry. | 1:21:15 | 1:21:20 | |
Look-a-like. | 1:21:20 | 1:21:21 | |
A lot of people think I looked
like Robert De Niro. | 1:21:21 | 1:21:24 | |
I was going to say Robert De Niro. | 1:21:24 | 1:21:27 | |
You talkin' to me? | 1:21:27 | 1:21:28 | |
How many of you are active
at least once a week, | 1:21:28 | 1:21:32 | |
we're talking about a brisk walk,
maybe even jogging. | 1:21:32 | 1:21:35 | |
78% say they exercise. | 1:21:35 | 1:21:36 | |
I'm still competing in triathlons. | 1:21:36 | 1:21:37 | |
Wow! | 1:21:37 | 1:21:47 | |
I do aqua aerobics, three sessions. | 1:21:47 | 1:21:49 | |
Yoga. | 1:21:49 | 1:21:50 | |
Pilates, tai chi and tennis. | 1:21:50 | 1:21:52 | |
No, I have never been
interested in sport. | 1:21:52 | 1:22:00 | |
I rely on genetics,
all my family died old, | 1:22:00 | 1:22:02 | |
didn't like sport,
so I'm depending on that. | 1:22:02 | 1:22:04 | |
How many of you feel
financially stable? | 1:22:04 | 1:22:07 | |
88% were happy with their finances,
better of than younger generations. | 1:22:07 | 1:22:14 | |
My husband and I when we retired
sold our house, sold our home. | 1:22:14 | 1:22:18 | |
At the height of the property boom
and invested the money. | 1:22:18 | 1:22:21 | |
Our generation, people that did
own property have done well | 1:22:21 | 1:22:25 | |
on it | 1:22:25 | 1:22:26 | |
with house prices,
unlike the younger generation, | 1:22:26 | 1:22:28 | |
who are now struggling. | 1:22:28 | 1:22:29 | |
I have to watch my pennies and be
careful what I do and can't go | 1:22:29 | 1:22:33 | |
on expensive holidays. | 1:22:33 | 1:22:38 | |
There's no way I would think
we were poor or struggling | 1:22:38 | 1:22:45 | |
any
way, | 1:22:45 | 1:22:46 | |
but neither are we rich. | 1:22:46 | 1:22:48 | |
And still working, still
touring at 70 is Kiki Dee. | 1:22:48 | 1:22:51 | |
I think we're all trucking on really
for various reasons, | 1:22:51 | 1:22:54 | |
to make a living, working people,
to keep yourself active in the world | 1:22:54 | 1:22:57 | |
if you like, so I think it's a great
time to be 70 actually. | 1:22:57 | 1:23:01 | |
Some fascinating views,
stories and a real insight I think | 1:23:01 | 1:23:04 | |
into what it feels like to be 70
years old in this day and age | 1:23:04 | 1:23:08 | |
but there's one thing I'd definitely
learned and that is 70 | 1:23:08 | 1:23:11 | |
is the new... | 1:23:11 | 1:23:12 | |
ALL: 40! | 1:23:12 | 1:23:24 | |
Let's meet Susan and Robert Ashton,
residents here for three years. 70 | 1:23:24 | 1:23:28 | |
was a couple of years ago for you
folks. Tell us about life here, why | 1:23:28 | 1:23:33 | |
did you first come here? Security. I
think everybody says the same thing. | 1:23:33 | 1:23:42 | |
The difference here is your
surrounded by people, and it makes | 1:23:42 | 1:23:47 | |
it easier to be old to be quite
frank. Very well put. There are 500 | 1:23:47 | 1:23:57 | |
properties here, certainly people
living here, Susan, I guess it's the | 1:23:57 | 1:24:02 | |
sort of place where you can be busy
all quiet. What is it like every day | 1:24:02 | 1:24:08 | |
here? Absolutely. A day of our lives
is getting up. We go for a walk, we | 1:24:08 | 1:24:17 | |
go into town, do our shopping. We
can catch any bus and we can go into | 1:24:17 | 1:24:23 | |
Kingston and surrounding areas. It's
the community that's important, is | 1:24:23 | 1:24:28 | |
that right? Yes, it's the community
and the community's very important | 1:24:28 | 1:24:33 | |
and all very different people, but
all sort of of a similar | 1:24:33 | 1:24:39 | |
inclination. We're getting to be
really quite happy here. Glad to | 1:24:39 | 1:24:47 | |
hear that. Nice to meet you this
morning. | 1:24:47 | 1:24:50 | |
Thanks very much. Let's speak to
Emma from SAGA magazine. We've been | 1:24:50 | 1:24:56 | |
talking about people in their 70s,
all of the people have vibrant, fit | 1:24:56 | 1:25:03 | |
and healthy lives, but it isn't like
that for everyone? It isn't. The two | 1:25:03 | 1:25:09 | |
great enemies of a happy old age, or
later age, are ill health and | 1:25:09 | 1:25:13 | |
loneliness. They really are the
great bugbears. In one way | 1:25:13 | 1:25:21 | |
encouraging people to live
independently and to live at home is | 1:25:21 | 1:25:24 | |
a double-edged sword because it's
fantastic, so much better for people | 1:25:24 | 1:25:30 | |
not to be institutionalised, but at
the same time it can make some | 1:25:30 | 1:25:34 | |
people explored merrily lonely. They
don't see... The only person they | 1:25:34 | 1:25:40 | |
talk to is at the checkout at Tesco
or something. I think loneliness has | 1:25:40 | 1:25:46 | |
a lot to answer for.
OK, all right, thank you very much | 1:25:46 | 1:25:50 | |
indeed and we'll talk to you later.
We had a virtual dog, Miro, earlier, | 1:25:50 | 1:25:56 | |
this is Oscar, a real dog, and Pat
is the busiest woman in the village | 1:25:56 | 1:26:01 | |
I'm led to believe so we'll have a
nice chat to you later in the | 1:26:01 | 1:26:05 | |
programme. Give us a quick idea of
all the things you do? | 1:26:05 | 1:26:08 | |
I'm very lucky to be here. I have an
allotment, I do live in dancing. Not | 1:26:08 | 1:26:17 | |
at the same time? Not at the same
time! -- I do line dancing. Thank | 1:26:17 | 1:26:26 | |
you, Pat. A little snippet of Pat's
busy life here. More from us at | 1:26:26 | 1:26:33 | |
Whiteley. We will talk to you later
in the programme. | 1:26:33 | 1:26:38 | |
Is Oscar happy, John? He looks a
little bit down? Is he happy, Pat? | 1:26:38 | 1:26:44 | |
He's very happy, he's looking
forward to going on the rest of this | 1:26:44 | 1:26:49 | |
work. We have curtailed the rest of
this walk? There's your answer. | 1:26:49 | 1:26:53 | |
That's what it is. -- this walk. | 1:26:53 | 1:26:58 | |

Breakfast from BBC News. | 1:26:58 | 1:27:00 | |
Still to come this morning. | 1:27:00 | 1:27:07 | |
It took Hugh Jackman
seven-and-a-half years | 1:27:07 | 1:27:09 | |
to get The Greatest Showman made. | 1:27:09 | 1:27:11 | |
Now he's been nominated
for a Golden Globe for his | 1:27:11 | 1:27:13 | |
performance before the film
even opens in cinemas. | 1:27:13 | 1:27:16 | |
I caught up with him in London. | 1:27:16 | 1:27:18 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 1:27:18 | 1:27:21 | |
in half an hour. | 1:30:40 | 1:30:41 | |
Plenty more on our website
at the usual address. | 1:30:41 | 1:30:43 | |
Now, though, it's back
to Charlie and naga. | 1:30:43 | 1:30:46 | |
Bye for now. | 1:30:46 | 1:30:46 | |
Hello this is Breakfast
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 1:30:51 | 1:30:53 | |
Munchetty. | 1:30:53 | 1:30:54 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 1:30:54 | 1:30:57 | |
Brexit negotiations will reach a key
milestone today when EU leaders | 1:30:57 | 1:31:00 | |
are expected to give the green
light for talks to move | 1:31:00 | 1:31:03 | |
to the second stage. | 1:31:03 | 1:31:04 | |
At a dinner in Brussels last night,
Theresa May was applauded | 1:31:04 | 1:31:07 | |
by her fellow leaders
after stressing her desire | 1:31:07 | 1:31:09 | |
for a "smooth" departure. | 1:31:09 | 1:31:11 | |
Talks will now focus
on the transition deal | 1:31:11 | 1:31:13 | |
between the two sides
as well as the UK's relationship | 1:31:13 | 1:31:15 | |
and trading arrangements
with the European Union. | 1:31:15 | 1:31:17 | |
One in six parents in the UK
gives their children alcohol | 1:31:17 | 1:31:20 | |
by the age of 14,
according to new research. | 1:31:20 | 1:31:23 | |
That's despite medical advice
which says children should not drink | 1:31:23 | 1:31:26 | |
until they are at
least a year older. | 1:31:26 | 1:31:28 | |
Researchers from University College
London also found white, | 1:31:28 | 1:31:32 | |
well-educated parents were most
likely to have a relaxed attitude | 1:31:32 | 1:31:34 | |
to young people drinking.
The Church of England has apologised | 1:31:34 | 1:31:37 | |
to the family of a bishop
for failings in the way it | 1:31:37 | 1:31:40 | |
investigated allegations of child
abuse against him almost 60 years | 1:31:40 | 1:31:43 | |
after his death. | 1:31:43 | 1:31:44 | |
An independent review
of the investigation into the former | 1:31:44 | 1:31:47 | |
Bishop of Chichester, George Bell,
is being published this morning. | 1:31:47 | 1:31:49 | |
He died in 1958. | 1:31:49 | 1:32:04 | |
9 million adults in the UK
are chronically lonely, | 1:32:04 | 1:32:07 | |
according to a commission set
up by the MP Jo Cox, | 1:32:07 | 1:32:10 | |
before her murder. | 1:32:10 | 1:32:11 | |
It says loneliness is as harmful
to health as smoking 15 cigarettes | 1:32:11 | 1:32:14 | |
a day, and calls for a national
strategy to address the problem. | 1:32:14 | 1:32:17 | |
The government said it welcomed
the report and would set out plans | 1:32:17 | 1:32:21 | |
to tackle the issue
in the new year. | 1:32:21 | 1:32:25 | |
Britain's most senior military
officer has warned of a new threat | 1:32:25 | 1:32:28 | |
posed by Russia to communications
cables that run under the sea. | 1:32:28 | 1:32:31 | |
The head of the Defence Staff,
Air Chief Marshall Sir Stuart Peach, | 1:32:31 | 1:32:34 | |
said Britain and NATO must avoid
the risk of a potentially | 1:32:34 | 1:32:37 | |
"catastrophic" effect on the economy
if the cables were cut. | 1:32:37 | 1:32:43 | |
What about this for a giant
seasonal greeting? | 1:32:43 | 1:32:46 | |
A pilot traced an outline
of an enormous Christmas tree | 1:32:46 | 1:32:49 | |
during a test flight
of an Airbus A380. | 1:32:49 | 1:32:51 | |
The tree, complete with baubles,
stretched for hundreds of kilometres | 1:32:51 | 1:32:54 | |
across Germany, from Hamburg
in the north to Stuttgart | 1:32:54 | 1:32:56 | |
in the south. | 1:32:56 | 1:32:57 | |
Coming up on the programme. | 1:32:57 | 1:33:11 | |
Matt will have the weather. | 1:33:11 | 1:33:23 | |
App you need a bit more detail, what
is the journey, how long does it | 1:33:23 | 1:33:28 | |
take? Who benefits from that? We
benefit. Aliens, if there are any up | 1:33:28 | 1:33:34 | |
there... It was a flight over Earth.
Yes, but... UR overthinking it. It | 1:33:34 | 1:33:41 | |
is just what happened. Just a happy
moment. It was very pretty. Any | 1:33:41 | 1:33:46 | |
happy moments in the cricket? Happy
for England. A crucial test, two | 1:33:46 | 1:33:52 | |
more to go after this one and
England are 2-0 down. Australia are | 1:33:52 | 1:34:00 | |
currently 88-2, 315 runs behind
England's first-innings total of | 1:34:00 | 1:34:05 | |
403. So just about advantage
England, but it is all about and | 1:34:05 | 1:34:12 | |
accession. Right now they are
drawing breath over the next tee | 1:34:12 | 1:34:15 | |
Eats and hopefully Andy Swiss, who
is watching in Perth, will have time | 1:34:15 | 1:34:18 | |
break up of tea and 80 moments, but
only after we hear from him. Which | 1:34:18 | 1:34:23 | |
is idea think will be the most
confident after tea? Well, it is | 1:34:23 | 1:34:28 | |
very finely poised, I would say.
England came back into it after the | 1:34:28 | 1:34:32 | |
afternoon session. They had a
terrible morning session. Such a | 1:34:32 | 1:34:35 | |
batting hopes, David Milan and Jonny
Bairstow going so nicely yesterday. | 1:34:35 | 1:34:41 | |
They picked up where they left off
at first. Bairstow reached his | 1:34:41 | 1:34:46 | |
century, a superb innings from Jonny
Bairstow. A slightly bizarre | 1:34:46 | 1:34:52 | |
celebration. He head-butted his
helmet in reference to an incident | 1:34:52 | 1:34:55 | |
he was involved in in Perth last
month, which you might remember. His | 1:34:55 | 1:34:59 | |
teammates enjoy that. England were
cruising, then they collapse. -- | 1:34:59 | 1:35:05 | |
collapsed. Their last six wickets
went in just 48 minutes, all out war | 1:35:05 | 1:35:11 | |
403. Craig Overton did the damage,
removing David Warner, who was | 1:35:11 | 1:35:18 | |
caught a high-end 422. And then
Cameron Bancroft, who was initially | 1:35:18 | 1:35:22 | |
given not out. The video umpire
overturned at the initial decision. | 1:35:22 | 1:35:27 | |
He was given out lbw for 35.
Australia 88 for two at T. The key | 1:35:27 | 1:35:39 | |
man is Australian captain Steve
Smith, who is still in there. The | 1:35:39 | 1:35:43 | |
world's number one batsman, their
best player, their star player, | 1:35:43 | 1:35:47 | |
really, as far as the Australian are
concerned. If England get him out | 1:35:47 | 1:35:51 | |
early they have a real chance of
getting a first-innings lead. | 1:35:51 | 1:35:54 | |
Indeed. You can't see, because it is
in the stadium behind you, but they | 1:35:54 | 1:35:59 | |
already came out after tea, they
must have all that is down, and best | 1:35:59 | 1:36:04 | |
amateurs. This evening, after tea,
what could it have such a major | 1:36:04 | 1:36:09 | |
influence on whether Australia
eventually reclaim the Ashes? I | 1:36:09 | 1:36:14 | |
think it will be pivotal. So far the
day has been one of fluctuating | 1:36:14 | 1:36:18 | |
fortunes. England will be so
disappointed. At one stage they were | 1:36:18 | 1:36:23 | |
688-4. It would have in hoping to
get 500 plus. To only get 400 would | 1:36:23 | 1:36:28 | |
be disappointing for them. They have
a gun -- they are patient. England's | 1:36:28 | 1:36:34 | |
bowlers are not as quick as the
Australian bowlers, they do not have | 1:36:34 | 1:36:38 | |
that raw pace. At the beach has been
doing some fun evenings. Sometimes | 1:36:38 | 1:36:44 | |
the ball is skidding, sometimes it
is bouncing up. Steve Smith to one | 1:36:44 | 1:36:49 | |
on his helmet. England will be
confident they can get into late | 1:36:49 | 1:36:53 | |
match-winning position and
potentially get back to this Ashes | 1:36:53 | 1:36:56 | |
series. It promises to be dramatic.
You can follow the action on Radio 5 | 1:36:56 | 1:37:04 | |
live sports extra and there is text
commentary on BBC sport website. | 1:37:04 | 1:37:09 | |
Back home, no nonleague sides in the
third round of the FA Cup, after the | 1:37:09 | 1:37:14 | |
last of them, Hereford, lost 2-0 to
Fleetwood last night. | 1:37:14 | 1:37:18 | |
Cian Bolger scoring both goals. | 1:37:18 | 1:37:20 | |
Fleetwood will play Leicester
in the next round, so we'll see | 1:37:20 | 1:37:22 | |
Jamie Vardy returning
to his old club. | 1:37:22 | 1:37:25 | |
Hayley Turner, the most successful
female jockey in British flat | 1:37:25 | 1:37:30 | |
racing, has been banned
from riding for three months | 1:37:30 | 1:37:33 | |
for breaching betting rules. | 1:37:33 | 1:37:34 | |
She staked 164 bets over
the space of a year and half, | 1:37:34 | 1:37:37 | |
which earned her a profit of £160. | 1:37:37 | 1:37:39 | |
Turner retired in 2015
but kept her jockey's licence, | 1:37:39 | 1:37:42 | |
so the bets technically
placed her in breach of the rules. | 1:37:42 | 1:37:45 | |
I accept that there has to be some
sort of punishment, definitely. | 1:37:45 | 1:37:48 | |
Because I was in the
wrong, absolutely. | 1:37:48 | 1:37:50 | |
Three months is quite harsh, though. | 1:37:50 | 1:37:51 | |
But that's their decision
and there's nothing I can | 1:37:51 | 1:37:54 | |
do about it. | 1:37:54 | 1:37:57 | |
Here was a spectacular
performance from Laura Renwick | 1:37:57 | 1:38:00 | |
at the Olympia Horse Show in London,
who, rode Top Dollar to victory | 1:38:00 | 1:38:03 | |
in the Puissance, clearing 2 metres
20, which no-one else had managed. | 1:38:03 | 1:38:06 | |
He's a young horse, too,
only eight years old, | 1:38:06 | 1:38:09 | |
so all the more impressive. | 1:38:09 | 1:38:16 | |
The PDC World Darts Championship got
under way at London's Alexandra | 1:38:16 | 1:38:19 | |
Palace last night, with defending
champion Michael van Gerwen | 1:38:19 | 1:38:19 | |
Formula 1's new owners are
considering scrapping the grid | 1:38:24 | 1:38:28 | |
girls. They are female models used
to hold up things on track. As | 1:38:28 | 1:38:33 | |
social attitudes change, some races
have experimented, using children or | 1:38:33 | 1:38:37 | |
male models as mascots. | 1:38:37 | 1:38:38 | |
The PDC World Darts Championship got
under way at London's Alexandra | 1:38:38 | 1:38:41 | |
Palace last night, with defending
champion Michael van Gerwen | 1:38:41 | 1:38:43 | |
on top form. | 1:38:43 | 1:38:44 | |
'Mighty Mike' took just over half
an hour to beat fellow | 1:38:44 | 1:38:47 | |
Dutchman Christian Kist
by three sets to one. | 1:38:47 | 1:38:49 | |
Phil 'The Power' Taylor will be
doing his best to beat him | 1:38:49 | 1:38:52 | |
to the title, he begins what will be
the last World Championship | 1:38:52 | 1:38:56 | |
of his career tonight. | 1:38:56 | 1:38:59 | |
I'm really looking forward to it
and I'm looking forward | 1:38:59 | 1:39:02 | |
to finishing now. | 1:39:02 | 1:39:03 | |
It's the right time for me. | 1:39:03 | 1:39:05 | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan found
a novel way to recharge | 1:39:11 | 1:39:13 | |
at the Scottish Open
snooker yesterday. | 1:39:13 | 1:39:14 | |
He took power naps during his match
against China's Hang Li. | 1:39:14 | 1:39:17 | |
He said he was "totally out
for the count" at times. | 1:39:17 | 1:39:20 | |
It did the trick -
he won that match and another | 1:39:20 | 1:39:23 | |
in the evening to reach
the quarter-finals. | 1:39:23 | 1:39:25 | |
He'll play John Higgins tonight. | 1:39:25 | 1:39:32 | |
Nothing compares what is facing the
sailors in the Volvo Ocean race. | 1:39:32 | 1:39:36 | |
This is one of the yacht in the
Southern Ocean. Big waves crashing | 1:39:36 | 1:39:40 | |
over the boat, sending the skipper
flying across the deck. The crews | 1:39:40 | 1:39:44 | |
are coping with severe storms on the
way from Cape Town to Melbourne. | 1:39:44 | 1:39:48 | |
They are all strapped... No, they
are not. That's right. You have to | 1:39:48 | 1:39:52 | |
find something to hold onto. I think
they are experienced at that. | 1:39:52 | 1:39:56 | |
Obviously it is still dangerous. You
have to be able to move around, do | 1:39:56 | 1:40:00 | |
need to be nimble. Fabulous
pictures. There you go! You can | 1:40:00 | 1:40:05 | |
almost feel that water coming over
us, from miles away. We have gained | 1:40:05 | 1:40:08 | |
something. A little trophy, one of
the most famous trophies and sport, | 1:40:08 | 1:40:14 | |
head of the BBC's Sports Personality
of the Year trophy. That is being | 1:40:14 | 1:40:19 | |
handed out on Sunday night. The
overseas Sports Personality of the | 1:40:19 | 1:40:23 | |
Year has been announced, Roger
Federer, winning his eight Wimbledon | 1:40:23 | 1:40:26 | |
title this year. He is 35. He has
defied the odds and previous | 1:40:26 | 1:40:31 | |
injuries to win Wimbledon and the
Australian Open in 2017 to take his | 1:40:31 | 1:40:35 | |
Grand Slam tally to 19. This is a
record four times Federer has won | 1:40:35 | 1:40:39 | |
the award. As for who will have
their name etched into the little | 1:40:39 | 1:40:44 | |
remaining space that there is, it
has been Andy Murray for three of | 1:40:44 | 1:40:48 | |
the last four years but he isn't in
contention this year. Our four | 1:40:48 | 1:40:51 | |
contenders, the best thing to do is
to go to the BBC sport website and | 1:40:51 | 1:40:55 | |
look at them all. I will protect
this. It is precious. Andy Murray | 1:40:55 | 1:40:59 | |
said it is one of the most
prestigious trophies for any athlete | 1:40:59 | 1:41:02 | |
to win. There are four tiers and it
is silverplated. I am holding on to | 1:41:02 | 1:41:10 | |
a tightly. It is precious. And it
has been damaged before. It was | 1:41:10 | 1:41:14 | |
dropped on a certain BBC programme
the other day. I was trying to think | 1:41:14 | 1:41:18 | |
of a time, what you're saying
before, two of the characters... | 1:41:18 | 1:41:21 | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan, who was asleep
and Roger Federer. People who are | 1:41:21 | 1:41:25 | |
now comfortable in their own skin,
you know? Yes, they relax. I was | 1:41:25 | 1:41:30 | |
trying to make the connection to
huge in. We spoke to him about his | 1:41:30 | 1:41:34 | |
new film. When you meet him, he
seems very covetable in his own | 1:41:34 | 1:41:37 | |
skin. It comes with experience, but
also with immense talent. I cannot | 1:41:37 | 1:41:42 | |
imagine Roger Federer ever getting
worked up or stressed, the way he | 1:41:42 | 1:41:46 | |
glides across the court. You say
that, but Hugh Jackman did say to | 1:41:46 | 1:41:51 | |
you that he still gets nervous.
Thank you, Mike. I have to take | 1:41:51 | 1:41:54 | |
this, it is getting heavy. Lots of
things to get past. Hugh Jackman | 1:41:54 | 1:41:59 | |
talks about nerves and other things.
SHATTERING NOISE. That was Mike. He | 1:41:59 | 1:42:08 | |
shouldn't do that. He faked that,
but it is the kind of thing that can | 1:42:08 | 1:42:14 | |
go wrong. He didn't fake it. Back to
Hugh Jackman. He has this film out, | 1:42:14 | 1:42:22 | |
the Greatest Sherman, PT Barnum, the
great circus man. We talk about his | 1:42:22 | 1:42:28 | |
nerves, it is nervous, despite the
success he still gets nervous. | 1:42:28 | 1:42:33 | |
I knew it. | 1:42:33 | 1:42:34 | |
There we go. | 1:42:34 | 1:42:35 | |
As soon as you had
that in your hand... | 1:42:35 | 1:42:37 | |
How do you do that that easily,
you've done it many, many times? | 1:42:37 | 1:42:41 | |
This particular one
which I had to do... | 1:42:41 | 1:42:43 | |
Are we wide enough? | 1:42:43 | 1:42:44 | |
..I would have done
6,000 times in my life. | 1:42:44 | 1:42:46 | |
This was me on set all day. | 1:42:46 | 1:42:48 | |
It looks easy but I dropped
about the first 300. | 1:42:48 | 1:42:51 | |
I'm putting together a show. | 1:42:51 | 1:42:52 | |
It's a place where people
can see things they've | 1:42:52 | 1:42:56 | |
never seen before. | 1:42:56 | 1:43:00 | |
OK... | 1:43:00 | 1:43:00 | |
What did you know about
Barnum, the character? | 1:43:00 | 1:43:02 | |
I'd seen the musical,
there's a Broadway musical | 1:43:02 | 1:43:05 | |
in the '70s that Cy Coleman
wrote the music for, | 1:43:05 | 1:43:07 | |
Michael Crawford did very famously
for four years here, | 1:43:07 | 1:43:10 | |
so I knew the story from that. | 1:43:10 | 1:43:12 | |
I've now read 37 books on him,
and he's one of the most mecurial, | 1:43:12 | 1:43:15 | |
interesting, self-promoting
characters there's ever been | 1:43:15 | 1:43:17 | |
and he is the true definition
of a disrupter, which we use a lot | 1:43:17 | 1:43:21 | |
these days to describe Elon Musk,
Bill Gates, Steve jobs. | 1:43:21 | 1:43:24 | |
Parts of what he was doing then,
the show that he created, | 1:43:24 | 1:43:27 | |
feel a bit uncomfortable
now, don't they? | 1:43:27 | 1:43:29 | |
It's interesting, at the time
he was accused of exploiting people | 1:43:29 | 1:43:33 | |
because a lot of people
will remember the movie Elephant Man | 1:43:33 | 1:43:36 | |
or they understand there was this
sort of seedy side to show business, | 1:43:36 | 1:43:39 | |
back alley where you would go
and see a bearded person | 1:43:39 | 1:43:42 | |
or whatever, some kind of deformity
and people were making | 1:43:42 | 1:43:45 | |
money off that. | 1:43:45 | 1:43:46 | |
He brought them out into the open
and interestingly he inadvertently | 1:43:46 | 1:43:49 | |
created this family,
and he inadvertently may the entire | 1:43:49 | 1:43:51 | |
world fall in love
with these people. | 1:43:51 | 1:43:53 | |
A lot of these people had been
hidden in basements literally | 1:43:53 | 1:43:56 | |
by their families and they felt love
and acceptance for the first time | 1:43:56 | 1:44:00 | |
and they loved him for it. | 1:44:00 | 1:44:01 | |
I can't just run off
and join the circus? | 1:44:01 | 1:44:04 | |
Why not? | 1:44:04 | 1:44:04 | |
You clearly have a flair
for show business. | 1:44:04 | 1:44:05 | |
A lot of these people had been
hidden in basements literally | 1:44:11 | 1:44:14 | |
by their families and they felt love
and acceptance for the first time | 1:44:14 | 1:44:18 | |
and they loved him for it. | 1:44:18 | 1:44:20 | |

and join the circus? | 1:44:21 | 1:44:24 | |
Why not? | 1:44:24 | 1:44:24 | |
You clearly have a flair
for show business. | 1:44:24 | 1:44:27 | |
For show business?
Mm-hmm. | 1:44:27 | 1:44:30 | |
I've never heard of it. | 1:44:30 | 1:44:32 | |
That's 'cause I just invented it. | 1:44:32 | 1:44:33 | |
I think people think
of you as a very confident | 1:44:33 | 1:44:41 | |
performer, but as I understand it
you, over the years, | 1:44:41 | 1:44:44 | |
have had your own things,
self-doubts and whatever about... | 1:44:44 | 1:44:46 | |
For sure. | 1:44:46 | 1:44:47 | |
I'm more afraid of fear
stopping me living my life | 1:44:47 | 1:44:49 | |
or stopping me make choices. | 1:44:49 | 1:44:51 | |
For example, when I was asked
to host the Oscars I was actually | 1:44:51 | 1:44:54 | |
in this very hotel when I got
the call, it was 1am, | 1:44:54 | 1:44:58 | |
and I just went, "I'm
a kid from Australia," | 1:44:58 | 1:45:00 | |
it was Spielberg on the line, | 1:45:00 | 1:45:02 | |
and I was, like, "Yes, of course." | 1:45:02 | 1:45:03 | |
When I hung up the phone,
the next ten minutes later I was, | 1:45:03 | 1:45:07 | |
like, "What did I do? | 1:45:07 | 1:45:08 | |
You didn't have to say yes to that." | 1:45:08 | 1:45:11 | |
I do have doubts. | 1:45:11 | 1:45:18 | |
It's been a good motivator
for me in my life. | 1:45:18 | 1:45:20 | |
It's frightening but
it'll be OK in the end. | 1:45:20 | 1:45:23 | |
I think that's got to do
with a couple of things, | 1:45:23 | 1:45:26 | |
I think it's got a lot to do
with my relationship with Deb. | 1:45:26 | 1:45:29 | |
If you ever see me walk out
onto a stage you will see me | 1:45:29 | 1:45:33 | |
put my hand down and I will look
for her in the audience. | 1:45:33 | 1:45:36 | |
That's your wife? | 1:45:36 | 1:45:37 | |
I will look for her and it's a way
of saying whatever happens, | 1:45:37 | 1:45:41 | |
success or failure, we've got each
other but it sounds corny but for me | 1:45:41 | 1:45:45 | |
that kind of security has really,
really helped me, that kind | 1:45:45 | 1:45:48 | |
of unconditional love
has really helped me. | 1:45:48 | 1:45:49 | |
Hugh Jackman's Christmas. | 1:45:49 | 1:45:50 | |
I will be in Australia this time. | 1:45:50 | 1:45:52 | |
It will be hot. | 1:45:52 | 1:45:53 | |
You'll be on the beach? | 1:45:53 | 1:45:55 | |
I live on the beach. | 1:45:55 | 1:45:56 | |
Definitely go on the beach and we do
the whole hot dinner catastrophe, | 1:45:56 | 1:46:00 | |
we do everything. | 1:46:00 | 1:46:00 | |
I have English parents so to me
Christmas has do have gravy, | 1:46:00 | 1:46:04 | |
roast potatoes, ham and turkey,
Christmas putting with the little 5 | 1:46:04 | 1:46:07 | |
cent pieces stuck in the middle,
brandy butter, custard, | 1:46:07 | 1:46:09 | |
the whole thing, sweating,
the paper hats disintegrating, | 1:46:09 | 1:46:11 | |
bad jokes, the whole thing. | 1:46:11 | 1:46:13 | |
Lovely! | 1:46:13 | 1:46:13 | |
Thank you. | 1:46:13 | 1:46:14 | |
Charlie, thanks mate. | 1:46:14 | 1:46:22 | |
Christmas in Australia, there you
go. What a charming man. He has that | 1:46:22 | 1:46:28 | |
reputation, you can see he is like
that. I bet you could have chatted | 1:46:28 | 1:46:32 | |
to him for ages. It has that
feeling. Speaking of charming man, | 1:46:32 | 1:46:36 | |
Matt has the weather for us. He is
surrounded by lights. This is | 1:46:36 | 1:46:44 | |
Longleat, some remarkable
installations. | 1:46:44 | 1:46:50 | |
They are mockable, aren't they, the
festival of light, running until the | 1:46:58 | 1:47:03 | |
seventh of January -- they are
remarkable. 50,000 hours it's taken | 1:47:03 | 1:47:07 | |
to build all of these, ship them
across and put them in place and | 1:47:07 | 1:47:12 | |
behind me is a clue as to what the
theme is this time. The magic of | 1:47:12 | 1:47:17 | |
storytelling. Here's Little Read
Riding Herd and the Eagles Bad Wolf | 1:47:17 | 1:47:26 | |
the galleon from the Little Mermaid.
-- Little Red Riding Hood and the | 1:47:26 | 1:47:34 | |
big bad Wolf. Kemps outcrop thanks
to a northerly wind and the forecast | 1:47:34 | 1:47:40 | |
is for chilly conditions --
temperatures have dropped. | 1:47:40 | 1:47:43 | |
Take | 1:47:44 | 1:47:44 | |
Take it easy on the back roads and
pavements this morning. Showers in | 1:47:44 | 1:47:48 | |
southern England over the past few
hours. Temperatures will drop before | 1:47:48 | 1:47:54 | |
they rise once again but eastern
parts of England, unlike yesterday | 1:47:54 | 1:47:57 | |
where you had the sunshine, today
you have the cloud, outbreaks of | 1:47:57 | 1:48:01 | |
rain, sleet and snow in places to
take us through the morning. A few | 1:48:01 | 1:48:05 | |
showers north of Scotland, much of
Scotland, north-west England and | 1:48:05 | 1:48:09 | |
Northern Ireland, other than
isolated showers, most will be dry. | 1:48:09 | 1:48:13 | |
Frosty and icy in places, some mist
the and dense fog patches which will | 1:48:13 | 1:48:18 | |
take a while to clear, other than a
few showers in the far west, | 1:48:18 | 1:48:23 | |
particularly Cornwall,
Carmarthenshire, most will be dry | 1:48:23 | 1:48:29 | |
and sunny to start the day. The
cloud we've had overnight breaking | 1:48:29 | 1:48:33 | |
up and the rest of the day should be
fine. Western areas compared to | 1:48:33 | 1:48:37 | |
yesterday, a brighter day, a few
showers, eastern areas, a bit of | 1:48:37 | 1:48:40 | |
cloud around, strong, raw wind at
that and the showers will come and | 1:48:40 | 1:48:43 | |
go, some will be heavy, hail,
thunder, sleet and snow possible. | 1:48:43 | 1:48:48 | |
Temperatures down on yesterday
thanks to the northerly breeze, | 1:48:48 | 1:48:51 | |
barely getting to 2-7 in some areas
and feeling colder than that given | 1:48:51 | 1:48:57 | |
the strength of the wind. It will
take a while tonight for the wind to | 1:48:57 | 1:49:01 | |
ease. We continue with the showers
around the coasts, leading to the | 1:49:01 | 1:49:06 | |
risk of ice, but as the winds of all
lighter, a widespread and sharp | 1:49:06 | 1:49:12 | |
frost will formation wide. Kemps
lower than you can see on the chart | 1:49:12 | 1:49:17 | |
in the countryside. -- temperatures.
We open on a frosty and cold note | 1:49:17 | 1:49:21 | |
but it will be a lovely crisp start
on Saturday. A good deal of sunshine | 1:49:21 | 1:49:26 | |
to begin with. Eastern areas back to
a better day with some fine and dry | 1:49:26 | 1:49:31 | |
conditions dominating but Western
areas will see the cloud thickening | 1:49:31 | 1:49:34 | |
through the day and for parts of
Wales, south-west England and the | 1:49:34 | 1:49:38 | |
Midlands we'll see a few showers.
Temperatures creeping up for the | 1:49:38 | 1:49:43 | |
south-west, but for most on
Saturday, a cold day. On Sunday, | 1:49:43 | 1:49:50 | |
south-westerly winds pick up,
bringing mild air for everyone, | 1:49:50 | 1:49:52 | |
takes all day to reach the
south-east but a price to pay for | 1:49:52 | 1:49:56 | |
the return of something milder. On
Sunday, more cloud and stronger | 1:49:56 | 1:49:59 | |
winds and outbreaks of rain
spreading across most areas. Some of | 1:49:59 | 1:50:02 | |
it will be heavy at times,
particularly on the hills in the | 1:50:02 | 1:50:05 | |
west. That's your weather, now back
to Naga and Charlie. Matt, there's | 1:50:05 | 1:50:11 | |
been debate about your jacket this
morning, is it corduroy or denim? | 1:50:11 | 1:50:15 | |
For winter where we need to know
what the weatherman is wearing. It | 1:50:15 | 1:50:20 | |
is corduroy this morning and it is
very warm and smugly. I've been | 1:50:20 | 1:50:24 | |
fascinated by the mermaids behind
you. They look like they need a | 1:50:24 | 1:50:31 | |
glass of something festive and that
would work. You just need a | 1:50:31 | 1:50:36 | |
little... They do look like... They
do look like they've been at a | 1:50:36 | 1:50:43 | |
Christmas party, don't they? They
do, just a little glass of something | 1:50:43 | 1:50:48 | |
in each hand, that's what's missing
in that installation. | 1:50:48 | 1:50:51 | |
Thanks very much, Matt! Amazing! | 1:50:51 | 1:50:54 | |
This morning we're looking
at what it's like to be 70 in 2017. | 1:50:54 | 1:50:58 | |
With life expectancy increasing,
financing retirement | 1:50:58 | 1:50:59 | |
is a key concern. | 1:50:59 | 1:51:01 | |
Ben is in Walton-on-Thames
in Surrey this morning. | 1:51:01 | 1:51:07 | |
Good morning, Ben. Good morning and
welcome to Surrey. If you were with | 1:51:07 | 1:51:12 | |
us earlier you will know we are | 1:51:12 | 1:51:13 | |
welcome to Surrey. If you were with
us earlier you will know we are | 1:51:13 | 1:51:13 | |
talking about the cost of retirement
and how much money we might need to | 1:51:13 | 1:51:17 | |
put away to make sure we all get a
comfortable retirement. As you | 1:51:17 | 1:51:21 | |
touched on, record numbers of people
turning 70 this year, the baby | 1:51:21 | 1:51:25 | |
boomer generation coming of age in
2017, turning 70, increasingly lots | 1:51:25 | 1:51:30 | |
of those people are working long
into their 70s, working through | 1:51:30 | 1:51:35 | |
retirement, some going back to work
and some not leaving work at all. | 1:51:35 | 1:51:38 | |
With me are two people who have done
that, Helen and Mark. Good morning. | 1:51:38 | 1:51:43 | |
Mark, you're in a tech firm and you
never retired. And Helen, this is | 1:51:43 | 1:51:50 | |
interesting, you trained as a
dooler, what did you train in in | 1:51:50 | 1:51:57 | |
your 70th year? I trained as a
dooler, which means I'm a birth | 1:51:57 | 1:52:05 | |
partner for... I look after people
before the baby is born through to | 1:52:05 | 1:52:10 | |
post-natal. I am with them if they
want me to be there during the | 1:52:10 | 1:52:15 | |
birth. You chose to do that when you
were 70, you took all the training | 1:52:15 | 1:52:19 | |
so you can practice that, why? Why?
Because I was determined not to sit | 1:52:19 | 1:52:27 | |
at home and just do reading, which
is what I Rodrigo Duterte. I didn't | 1:52:27 | 1:52:31 | |
want to just do nothing. -- what I
do often do. I felt I didn't have | 1:52:31 | 1:52:38 | |
the need to get out of bed in the
morning so I needed a purpose. I | 1:52:38 | 1:52:43 | |
felt at my age, I've had five
children, I do know something about | 1:52:43 | 1:52:47 | |
having babies and my old dream was
to work with babies. I listened to a | 1:52:47 | 1:52:55 | |
programme on Radio 4 about this time
last year and this guy is said into | 1:52:55 | 1:53:01 | |
retirement, don't just sit at home,
don't let age, don't let finances | 1:53:01 | 1:53:08 | |
dictate to you your dreams so
revisit your dream, and I did. It's | 1:53:08 | 1:53:16 | |
like the penny dropped and I needed
to train as a doula. It's such a | 1:53:16 | 1:53:21 | |
fascinating job to get into and
Mark, you've been doing technology | 1:53:21 | 1:53:25 | |
all your life. Yes. You have a great
idea before you retired, that not | 1:53:25 | 1:53:31 | |
retiring allowed you to do, tell us
about that? I've had good ideas | 1:53:31 | 1:53:36 | |
through my life, I had a good idea
about a computer in a suitcase so | 1:53:36 | 1:53:41 | |
you opened it up and the keyboard
was there and the screen was in | 1:53:41 | 1:53:44 | |
front of you but I didn't really do
anything with that, unfortunately | 1:53:44 | 1:53:47 | |
other people did and we all have one
of those now! I had this idea in my | 1:53:47 | 1:53:52 | |
50s about having a device that would
talk back to you when you're on the | 1:53:52 | 1:53:56 | |
telephone so you can make a
telephone call without pressing the | 1:53:56 | 1:54:00 | |
buttons or dialling the number. Why
did you decide to do that in | 1:54:00 | 1:54:04 | |
retirement? Basically I had a
pension that matured so I had a lump | 1:54:04 | 1:54:09 | |
sum, I thought now was the
opportunity to invest that lump sum | 1:54:09 | 1:54:13 | |
in trying to get this thing on --
off the ground. That's what I did. | 1:54:13 | 1:54:19 | |
Thanks for talking to us and we will
be talking more later. I want you to | 1:54:19 | 1:54:24 | |
introduce you to Jonathan, from the
Age of No Retirement. You want to | 1:54:24 | 1:54:29 | |
raise perceptions about people in
retirement, two people working long | 1:54:29 | 1:54:35 | |
into their 70s, it's increasingly
common, isn't it? It is but not | 1:54:35 | 1:54:42 | |
common enough. We have a gulf
between perception and reality. We | 1:54:42 | 1:54:47 | |
have an extra ten years of healthy
life expectancy more than the | 1:54:47 | 1:54:52 | |
previous two generations, yet this
increased longevity and healthy | 1:54:52 | 1:54:56 | |
longevity isn't translating into
economic productivity. We still have | 1:54:56 | 1:55:00 | |
this crisp lacklustre of retirement
which divides productivity from | 1:55:00 | 1:55:07 | |
retirement. People think it's about
putting your feet up and not doing | 1:55:07 | 1:55:12 | |
anything but people are fitter for
longer so they could be working? | 1:55:12 | 1:55:16 | |
They could be. You're now in
retirement for 20, 30, maybe 40 | 1:55:16 | 1:55:21 | |
years and from a mental health
perspective you can't be doing | 1:55:21 | 1:55:25 | |
nothing for that length of time so
money is part of it but it's also | 1:55:25 | 1:55:32 | |
fulfilment, purpose, learning,
creating opportunities to learn new | 1:55:32 | 1:55:35 | |
things, having fun and most
important is the human connection. | 1:55:35 | 1:55:39 | |
Jonathan, good to talk to you, time
is tight but nice to talk to you, | 1:55:39 | 1:55:43 | |
from the Age of No Retirement.
You heard it there, great examples | 1:55:43 | 1:55:47 | |
of people working in their
retirement but not for the reasons | 1:55:47 | 1:55:51 | |
you would expect, it's not about a
bit more income, it's about | 1:55:51 | 1:55:54 | |
connection, purpose and doing
something with that later life. | 1:55:54 | 1:55:57 | |
We'll hear more stories through the
morning so join us after 8am and we | 1:55:57 | 1:56:03 | |
will talk to you then. Thanks, Ben.
Speak to you then. | 1:56:03 | 1:56:07 | |

Hello. | 2:00:01 | 2:00:02 | |
This is Breakfast, with
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | 2:00:02 | 2:00:04 | |
A round of applause from EU leaders
as Theresa May tells them she can | 2:00:04 | 2:00:07 | |
deliver a "smooth Brexit". | 2:00:07 | 2:00:08 | |
The show of support
for the Prime Minister came | 2:00:08 | 2:00:10 | |
at a dinner in Brussels,
where the EU will today | 2:00:10 | 2:00:13 | |
officially move Brexit
talks to the next stage. | 2:00:13 | 2:00:19 | |
Good morning, it's
Friday 15th December. | 2:00:31 | 2:00:33 | |
Also this morning: | 2:00:33 | 2:00:36 | |
A new study finds one in six parents
allow their children | 2:00:36 | 2:00:39 | |
to drink at the age of 14,
but doctors warn it's putting | 2:00:39 | 2:00:41 | |
youngsters' health at risk. | 2:00:41 | 2:00:51 | |
In the sport, Captain Smith is
leading the fight back. They need to | 2:00:52 | 2:00:55 | |
find a way to stop Steve Smith after
he took two early wickets. | 2:00:55 | 2:01:02 | |
A record number of people turned 70
this year, so what is life really | 2:01:02 | 2:01:07 | |
like for the baby boomers in 2017. I
will meet Josie and some of the | 2:01:07 | 2:01:12 | |
other residents here at a retirement
village in Surrey. | 2:01:12 | 2:01:15 | |

This was me on set all day... And it
looks easy, but I dropped about the | 2:01:21 | 2:01:27 | |
first 300. | 2:01:27 | 2:01:32 | |

Matt has the weather,
and he's enjoying a festival | 2:01:49 | 2:01:51 | |
of light this morning. | 2:01:51 | 2:01:55 | |
Welcome to Longleat in Wiltshire,
where we are among amazing lanterns, | 2:01:55 | 2:02:02 | |
part of the festival of light. The
theme this year is the magic of | 2:02:02 | 2:02:12 | |
storytelling, and the weather story
through this weekend is for things | 2:02:12 | 2:02:15 | |
to get milder. Today is a cold day,
with frost and ice around. The full | 2:02:15 | 2:02:18 | |
forecast 15 minutes. | 2:02:18 | 2:02:20 | |
Good morning. | 2:02:20 | 2:02:21 | |
First, our main story. | 2:02:21 | 2:02:22 | |
Brexit negotiations will reach a key
milestone today when EU leaders | 2:02:22 | 2:02:25 | |
will give the green light for talks
to move to the second stage. | 2:02:25 | 2:02:28 | |
Last night at a dinner
in Brussels, Theresa May | 2:02:28 | 2:02:30 | |
insisted she was on course
for what she termed | 2:02:30 | 2:02:32 | |
a "smooth" Brexit. | 2:02:32 | 2:02:35 | |
So what does the next
stage look like? | 2:02:35 | 2:02:37 | |
Talks will now focus
on the transition deal | 2:02:37 | 2:02:40 | |
between the two sides,
as well as their future relationship | 2:02:40 | 2:02:42 | |
and trading arrangements. | 2:02:42 | 2:02:44 | |
Mrs May has said she wants
discussions on transition | 2:02:44 | 2:02:46 | |
settled by March 2018,
that's a year before Britain | 2:02:46 | 2:02:49 | |
is due to leave the EU. | 2:02:49 | 2:02:53 | |
But with a Brexit Day vote
in Parliament next week | 2:02:53 | 2:02:56 | |
on whether to put an exact time
and date on that departure, | 2:02:56 | 2:02:59 | |
both sides will be aware
that the clock is ticking. | 2:02:59 | 2:03:02 | |
Our correspondent Adam Fleming
is in Brussels this morning. | 2:03:02 | 2:03:12 | |
Let's paint a picture of a dinner in
Brussels after what has been a week | 2:03:12 | 2:03:16 | |
of ups and downs. Guess, so the
leaders have met all yesterday | 2:03:16 | 2:03:22 | |
afternoon then had a dinner, which
was focusing on migration and the | 2:03:22 | 2:03:26 | |
refugee crisis, how to avoid that
happening again in the future. | 2:03:26 | 2:03:30 | |
Theresa May gave them an update on
Brexit. EU leaders are about to | 2:03:30 | 2:03:38 | |
decide that enough progress has been
made in the first phase to move to | 2:03:38 | 2:03:44 | |
the second period, looking to the
future and what cooperation between | 2:03:44 | 2:03:47 | |
the EU and the UK will look like in
the future. There was a round of | 2:03:47 | 2:03:53 | |
applause from the other leaders led
by Angela Merkel. It was probably a | 2:03:53 | 2:03:58 | |
combination of congratulation and
relief that they have made this | 2:03:58 | 2:04:01 | |
milestone. Theresa May went home
last night, the other 27 leaders | 2:04:01 | 2:04:05 | |
will talk about the guidelines they
will issue for the next phase of the | 2:04:05 | 2:04:09 | |
Brexit talks. First, they will
remind the UK the promises that they | 2:04:09 | 2:04:14 | |
have made so far and that they must
be kept if this is going to work. | 2:04:14 | 2:04:19 | |
Second, the transition deal, a
couple of years of sticking to | 2:04:19 | 2:04:22 | |
roughly the current EU rules and
regulations after Brexit day in | 2:04:22 | 2:04:26 | |
March 2019, and then the future
relationship about trade and | 2:04:26 | 2:04:29 | |
security, how they will cooperate in
future. EU leaders aren't really | 2:04:29 | 2:04:33 | |
prepared to get into the detail of
that and have proper talks until | 2:04:33 | 2:04:38 | |
March next year, because they want
Theresa May and her Cabinet | 2:04:38 | 2:04:41 | |
colleagues have a big discussion
about what they actually want before | 2:04:41 | 2:04:46 | |
they are ready to play ball. That is
the important stuff - what are your | 2:04:46 | 2:04:51 | |
sources telling you about the menu?
I knew this was coming. They had | 2:04:51 | 2:04:55 | |
langoustine to start, then some kind
of chicken dish, and then the really | 2:04:55 | 2:05:01 | |
weird bit, they had a festive log
with a twist. I have spoken to my | 2:05:01 | 2:05:06 | |
sources and no one can tell me what
the twist is, but I can reveal that | 2:05:06 | 2:05:10 | |
the EU head of catering is being
woken up so we can find out what the | 2:05:10 | 2:05:14 | |
twist was. Adam, thank you very
much. | 2:05:14 | 2:05:20 | |
Can you imagine a twist to your
festive log? | 2:05:20 | 2:05:24 | |
I don't know. | 2:05:24 | 2:05:27 | |
One in six parents in the UK
gives their children | 2:05:27 | 2:05:29 | |
alcohol by the age of 14,
according to new research. | 2:05:29 | 2:05:31 | |
That's despite medical advice
which says children should not drink | 2:05:31 | 2:05:34 | |
until they are at least
a year older. | 2:05:34 | 2:05:36 | |
Researchers from University College
London also found white, | 2:05:36 | 2:05:38 | |
well-educated parents were most
likely to have a relaxed attitude | 2:05:38 | 2:05:40 | |
to young people drinking. | 2:05:40 | 2:05:43 | |
The Church of England has apologised
to the family of a bishop | 2:05:43 | 2:05:46 | |
for failings in the way it
investigated allegations of child | 2:05:46 | 2:05:52 | |
abuse against him almost 60
years after his death. | 2:05:52 | 2:05:54 | |
An independent review
of the investigation into the former | 2:05:54 | 2:05:56 | |
Bishop of Chichester,
George Bell, is being | 2:05:56 | 2:05:57 | |
published this morning. | 2:05:57 | 2:05:59 | |
He died in 1958. | 2:05:59 | 2:06:00 | |
The White House says Donald Trump
and the Russian president, | 2:06:00 | 2:06:02 | |
Vladimir Putin, have discussed
working together to resolve | 2:06:02 | 2:06:04 | |
the crisis over North Korea's
nuclear programme. | 2:06:04 | 2:06:07 | |
Meanwhile, the most senior UN
official to visit North Korea | 2:06:07 | 2:06:13 | |
for six years told the BBC
Pyongyang should re-open | 2:06:13 | 2:06:15 | |
communication channels
with South Korea, which were | 2:06:15 | 2:06:16 | |
suspended in 2009. | 2:06:16 | 2:06:19 | |
Nine million adults in the UK
are chronically lonely, | 2:06:19 | 2:06:21 | |
according to a commission set up
by the MP Jo Cox, before her murder. | 2:06:21 | 2:06:25 | |
It says loneliness is as harmful
to health as smoking | 2:06:25 | 2:06:29 | |
15 cigarettes a day,
and calls for a government-led | 2:06:29 | 2:06:31 | |
national strategy to
address the problem. | 2:06:31 | 2:06:35 | |
Our North of England correspondent
Danny Savage reports. | 2:06:35 | 2:06:40 | |
You can't catch me. | 2:06:40 | 2:06:41 | |
In the months before
she was murdered, Jo Cox | 2:06:41 | 2:06:43 | |
started a campaign
to tackle loneliness. | 2:06:43 | 2:06:45 | |
She said she didn't want to live
in a country where thousands | 2:06:45 | 2:06:48 | |
of people live lonely lives
forgotten by the rest of us. | 2:06:48 | 2:06:51 | |
The campaign carried
on in her name and | 2:06:51 | 2:06:54 | |
has now concluded we'll have
to do our bit to combat loneliness. | 2:06:54 | 2:07:01 | |
Susan spent months
feeling isolated and | 2:07:01 | 2:07:03 | |
desperate and things improved hugely
when the royal voluntary service | 2:07:03 | 2:07:05 | |
intervened. | 2:07:05 | 2:07:11 | |
I was really alone, I was depressed,
I tried to take my own life. | 2:07:11 | 2:07:15 | |
Really bad. | 2:07:15 | 2:07:16 | |
In a lot of pain. | 2:07:16 | 2:07:20 | |
If it wasn't for these people,
all these people that's helping me | 2:07:20 | 2:07:23 | |
now, I wouldn't be here. | 2:07:23 | 2:07:27 | |
And I appreciate everything that
people have done for me. | 2:07:27 | 2:07:31 | |
It's not always obvious to people
that they might be lonely or in need | 2:07:31 | 2:07:34 | |
of some companionship. | 2:07:34 | 2:07:37 | |
And what we offer
isn't somebody to come | 2:07:37 | 2:07:39 | |
in and talk at people. | 2:07:39 | 2:07:42 | |
What we are doing is saying
to people, would you | 2:07:42 | 2:07:44 | |
like to be part of something
where you meet somebody, | 2:07:44 | 2:07:46 | |
you get to know them,
they get to know you and you | 2:07:46 | 2:07:49 | |
create a friendship? | 2:07:49 | 2:07:53 | |
The Jo Cox Loneliness
Commission has concluded | 2:07:53 | 2:07:56 | |
that government and employers can
do their bit to deal with loneliness | 2:07:56 | 2:07:59 | |
but that individuals and communities
are just as important in preventing | 2:07:59 | 2:08:02 | |
isolation. | 2:08:02 | 2:08:03 | |
Danny Savage, BBC
News, West Yorkshire. | 2:08:03 | 2:08:13 | |
It's been an exciting morning when
it comes to cricket. Mike has been | 2:08:14 | 2:08:18 | |
following all of bat. Any updates?
It has been nonstop. At the moment, | 2:08:18 | 2:08:24 | |
Australia are beginning to seize
back the initiative. They are 125-2, | 2:08:24 | 2:08:30 | |
leaving them 278 behind England's
total of 403, mainly down to their | 2:08:30 | 2:08:37 | |
captain, Steve Smith, who any second
now could get a half-century. He has | 2:08:37 | 2:08:42 | |
moved on to 47. They are beginning
to creep up on England's total. | 2:08:42 | 2:08:46 | |
Especially with only to make wickets
down, it is vital that England get | 2:08:46 | 2:08:50 | |
another wicket before the close of
play today. They just missed a | 2:08:50 | 2:08:59 | |
sitter... It comes after a pretty
good day for England overall. In the | 2:08:59 | 2:09:04 | |
early hours of the day, you had
Jonny Bairstow getting his century, | 2:09:04 | 2:09:09 | |
140 before he was out. Then the
England tail-enders collapsed. Then | 2:09:09 | 2:09:16 | |
to make wickets were taken with good
bowling. That seems like a long time | 2:09:16 | 2:09:21 | |
ago. Australia are two up, this is
the third Ashes Test and there are | 2:09:21 | 2:09:31 | |
two Matt Mullan to play. If England
were to lose this one as well, it | 2:09:31 | 2:09:34 | |
would be all over and there would be
to make meaningless tests. You never | 2:09:34 | 2:09:38 | |
know. The element is probably
another hour to go. Can England get | 2:09:38 | 2:09:42 | |
another wicket? Abhi back in 20
minutes. | 2:09:42 | 2:09:52 | |
We've enjoyed this this morning.
This is a seasonal greeting on a | 2:09:52 | 2:09:56 | |
large scale. This is a pilot tracing
an outline of an enormous Christmas | 2:09:56 | 2:10:01 | |
tree. This is a test flight of an
Airbuses A380. It goes across | 2:10:01 | 2:10:12 | |
hamburger in Germany in the north,
down to Stuttgart in the cell. The | 2:10:12 | 2:10:16 | |
plane flew at an average height of
40,000 feet. To do the whole | 2:10:16 | 2:10:21 | |
Christmas tree, it took five hours
and 22 minutes. Set off at 12:47pm | 2:10:21 | 2:10:27 | |
and landed at the same airport at
16:35pm. I don't know how long it | 2:10:27 | 2:10:35 | |
took to do a bauble. There is a
mathematical equation for that. | 2:10:35 | 2:10:38 | |
I'll work on that! | 2:10:38 | 2:10:44 | |
Children who start drinking
at an early age are more | 2:10:44 | 2:10:46 | |
likely to fail at school,
have behavioural issues and grow up | 2:10:46 | 2:10:49 | |
to have alcohol problems,
according to the Millennium Cohort | 2:10:49 | 2:10:51 | |
Study. | 2:10:51 | 2:10:52 | |
Researchers found that one in six
parents in the UK let their children | 2:10:52 | 2:10:55 | |
drink alcohol at the age of 14,
despite medical advice | 2:10:55 | 2:10:57 | |
recommending children avoid it
until they're at least 15. | 2:10:57 | 2:11:00 | |
Journalist Angela Epstein
joins us in the studio, | 2:11:00 | 2:11:02 | |
along with Dorothy Newbury-Birch,
Professor of Alcohol | 2:11:02 | 2:11:03 | |
and Public Health Research
at Teesside University, | 2:11:03 | 2:11:05 | |
who is in our London newsroom. | 2:11:05 | 2:11:13 | |
Professor, if I could ask you first,
just go through what this survey is | 2:11:13 | 2:11:18 | |
telling us that we possibly didn't
know before. What some of us didn't | 2:11:18 | 2:11:22 | |
know before is that parents are
giving their children alcohol before | 2:11:22 | 2:11:30 | |
the age of 15, which is the
recommended time that the Chief | 2:11:30 | 2:11:33 | |
Medical Officer in 2009 told us that
we shouldn't be giving our children | 2:11:33 | 2:11:39 | |
alcohol. And the reasons for that
are numerous. We know that the later | 2:11:39 | 2:11:46 | |
that a child drinks alcohol, the
less likely they are to have | 2:11:46 | 2:11:49 | |
problems later on in life, so it's
really important that we don't do | 2:11:49 | 2:11:54 | |
this before the age of 15. On the
face of it, Professor, if I could, | 2:11:54 | 2:12:00 | |
the difference between 14 and 15,
it's 12 months. I'm stating the | 2:12:00 | 2:12:05 | |
obvious, but is it that significant?
I don't think it's an overnight | 2:12:05 | 2:12:09 | |
thing at all. It's clear and the
guidelines say clearly that we | 2:12:09 | 2:12:14 | |
shouldn't be giving alcohol under
the age of 18, but in reality, we | 2:12:14 | 2:12:18 | |
know that that does happen. We know
that the majority of under 18s get | 2:12:18 | 2:12:24 | |
their alcohol from their parents.
This isn't because they think | 2:12:24 | 2:12:28 | |
they're doing the wrong thing, they
think, we think we are doing the | 2:12:28 | 2:12:36 | |
right thing. The evidence tells us
this isn't the case. Angela, you | 2:12:36 | 2:12:39 | |
have two children. Four! But you
allowed your children to sample | 2:12:39 | 2:12:52 | |
alcohol at what age? Excuse the pun
but I was fairly fluid about it. | 2:12:52 | 2:13:05 | |
There is a difference between mum
and dad being passed out in front of | 2:13:05 | 2:13:08 | |
the telly on a Wednesday night and
having a family get-together with | 2:13:08 | 2:13:14 | |
protocol on the table and a curious
teenager wants to try a sip. -- with | 2:13:14 | 2:13:20 | |
sparkling wine on the table. When we
establish very fixed parameters in | 2:13:20 | 2:13:30 | |
parenting, we have all been kids,
the curious child drinks, OK, Mum is | 2:13:30 | 2:13:35 | |
saying no, so there must be
something good about this stuff. My | 2:13:35 | 2:13:39 | |
youngest is 13. The other week, we
were at some friends', and they had | 2:13:39 | 2:13:44 | |
opened a bottle of bubbly, and she
said, can I try some? , so I let | 2:13:44 | 2:13:51 | |
her. It is the job of people whose
role it is to look at the clinical | 2:13:51 | 2:13:59 | |
aspects of this to determine and
age, isn't it? They can't be as | 2:13:59 | 2:14:03 | |
ambivalent as you as a mum. Their
job is to say, what is the evidence | 2:14:03 | 2:14:12 | |
tells us there is an age, and the
age is 15. The report says damage | 2:14:12 | 2:14:17 | |
from 14. That is their role. I
understand that. There is a | 2:14:17 | 2:14:23 | |
difference between having a
state-mandated jurisdiction, such as | 2:14:23 | 2:14:27 | |
not being able to drive until you
are 17, that is what the law says. | 2:14:27 | 2:14:31 | |
Everybody knows their family dynamic
personally. There are socioeconomic | 2:14:31 | 2:14:36 | |
situations where children are being
brought up to see alcohol in a very | 2:14:36 | 2:14:40 | |
negative way. I like to feel as a
responsible parent, we are not | 2:14:40 | 2:14:46 | |
massive boozers, and I am not in the
pub every night, and I feel it is a | 2:14:46 | 2:14:53 | |
very natural, seamless way to
introduce it, and I hope it will | 2:14:53 | 2:14:57 | |
encourage responsible drinking. A
couple up my kids are at university | 2:14:57 | 2:15:01 | |
now. There is in the Big Brother
situation where I am spying on what | 2:15:01 | 2:15:05 | |
they are drinking. I think I have
inculcated good values where alcohol | 2:15:05 | 2:15:08 | |
is concerned. What might you see
where the conflict is between | 2:15:08 | 2:15:13 | |
parents who believe they are being
responsible and educating children | 2:15:13 | 2:15:17 | |
rather than there being an arbitrary
age to start? | 2:15:17 | 2:15:24 | |
It is something we grapple with as
parents but the reality is, young | 2:15:24 | 2:15:29 | |
people see their parents drink and
we have got this idea that we are | 2:15:29 | 2:15:33 | |
talking about parents, will speaker
talked about somebody getting very, | 2:15:33 | 2:15:36 | |
very drunk. We know the biggest
increase in drinking is amongst | 2:15:36 | 2:15:42 | |
middle-aged women and what we
showing our children by doing that | 2:15:42 | 2:15:45 | |
and saying that? We would not give
them any other drug at 14 and say, | 2:15:45 | 2:15:50 | |
let's teach you how to use this and
how to have a go at this. This | 2:15:50 | 2:15:55 | |
really makes me think about the
cultural issues and how we tackle | 2:15:55 | 2:16:00 | |
them. At Teesside University, as
part of our grand challenges, we are | 2:16:00 | 2:16:05 | |
working that this in-depth. I
totally get where people coming | 2:16:05 | 2:16:09 | |
from, we are so scared that I would
children will use drugs that if we | 2:16:09 | 2:16:15 | |
teach them how to use alcohol, that
is going to be OK. But we are | 2:16:15 | 2:16:19 | |
talking about two different
situations. I would quickly say I | 2:16:19 | 2:16:23 | |
would like to think I teach my
children about alcohol. I do not say | 2:16:23 | 2:16:28 | |
to my child, due at a glass of milk
origin and tonic? I wanted to know | 2:16:28 | 2:16:33 | |
it is sensible and responsible, it
is not offered on the table when I | 2:16:33 | 2:16:37 | |
put out her tea, but parents have to
be empowered to know their children | 2:16:37 | 2:16:41 | |
and understand the correct and
sensible way to bring them up. | 2:16:41 | 2:16:45 | |
Angela and Dorothy, thanks very
much. Thank you. | 2:16:45 | 2:16:54 | |
It's 8:16. | 2:16:54 | 2:17:00 | |
Matt has been outdoors at Longleat
and these shots are spectacular, | 2:17:00 | 2:17:05 | |
they look almost unreal. Matt is
inside now. The camera is going to | 2:17:05 | 2:17:09 | |
take is inside. They are indeed. The
Festival of Lights running until | 2:17:09 | 2:17:29 | |
January the 17. We are seeing the
Christmas decorations, decorated for | 2:17:29 | 2:17:33 | |
an Edwardian Christmas in the House.
To put us into a festive mood and | 2:17:33 | 2:17:38 | |
helping to brighten up these dark
winter mornings. A little warmer | 2:17:38 | 2:17:44 | |
inside Bennett is outside. | 2:17:44 | 2:17:45 | |
The forecast for today, it surely
start here and across the UK. There | 2:17:48 | 2:17:53 | |
is frost and ice across many parts
of the country. Surplus on the back | 2:17:53 | 2:17:59 | |
roads and pavements this morning. A
drier day for many then yesterday, | 2:17:59 | 2:18:04 | |
showers across the South clearing
away now. The rest of the day should | 2:18:04 | 2:18:08 | |
be fine. Across eastern parts of
England compared with yesterday, a | 2:18:08 | 2:18:12 | |
lot more cloud, further showers
throughout the day, in mixture of | 2:18:12 | 2:18:17 | |
rain, hale, sweet and snow. In the
West, a drier and brighter day than | 2:18:17 | 2:18:21 | |
yesterday. Scotland and Northern
Ireland, very few showers around in | 2:18:21 | 2:18:25 | |
the West. Frosty and I see and
freezing pop -- freezing fog patches | 2:18:25 | 2:18:29 | |
which take a while to clear, but
much of the country dry and clear. | 2:18:29 | 2:18:37 | |
Wales and Cornwall, this is where we
will see some showers. Not as windy | 2:18:37 | 2:18:41 | |
across Western areas as it wishes
today. But the wind we do have is | 2:18:41 | 2:18:45 | |
chilly and is coming from the North.
That is adding to the chill and | 2:18:45 | 2:18:50 | |
dropping the temperatures compared
to the past couple of days. Through | 2:18:50 | 2:18:54 | |
the day, and East-West split with
eastern areas a good deal cloudier | 2:18:54 | 2:18:59 | |
with further showers at at times and
a slight coating of snow possible on | 2:18:59 | 2:19:03 | |
the hills. Very isolated showers in
the West, mostly sunny and | 2:19:03 | 2:19:07 | |
temperatures down around 3-7dC at
the very best. Colder than that in | 2:19:07 | 2:19:12 | |
the breeze. Into the night, the
breeze slowly eases. Still some | 2:19:12 | 2:19:18 | |
showers around the coast of the
country but many inland areas dry, | 2:19:18 | 2:19:22 | |
clear and mist and fog patches
forming, temperatures dropping | 2:19:22 | 2:19:26 | |
widely. Below freezing. Lower in the
countryside. Frost takes us into | 2:19:26 | 2:19:33 | |
Saturday, but what a start to the
weekend! Crisp and Frosty, most | 2:19:33 | 2:19:39 | |
places dry, I see around coastal
districts where we have seen showers | 2:19:39 | 2:19:42 | |
through the night. Showers are
fading away and unlike today, | 2:19:42 | 2:19:46 | |
eastern areas have the best of the
sunshine in the afternoon and in the | 2:19:46 | 2:19:49 | |
West, we see cloud increase and
showers in Wales, the Midlands and | 2:19:49 | 2:19:54 | |
the south-west and temperatures
slowly on the rise. Still a chilly | 2:19:54 | 2:19:56 | |
day tomorrow. Milder air with us on
Sunday, it takes all day to reach | 2:19:56 | 2:20:02 | |
East Anglia and the South East. With
that comes a stronger wind. Gale | 2:20:02 | 2:20:07 | |
force at at times around the coasts
and outbreaks of rain. Not a | 2:20:07 | 2:20:12 | |
wash-out, but rain for just about
all areas, some of which is heavy, | 2:20:12 | 2:20:17 | |
especially on the hills. A change to
something milder in the weekend but | 2:20:17 | 2:20:21 | |
for the time being, staying with the
cold weather, helping us to get into | 2:20:21 | 2:20:24 | |
the festive beam and there is only
ten more nights yet and I should | 2:20:24 | 2:20:30 | |
probably put the decorations up
myself. Did you not put your | 2:20:30 | 2:20:34 | |
decorations up at home? Not yet, no! | 2:20:34 | 2:20:36 | |
Your poor children, are they not
disappointed? They are fine! We keep | 2:20:40 | 2:20:46 | |
promising it will be this weekend,
they are fine, they are happy. I at | 2:20:46 | 2:20:50 | |
least taking them to a panto to let
them know it's Christmas? Yes, I am, | 2:20:50 | 2:20:56 | |
between Christmas and New Year,
looking forward to that. Pressure. | 2:20:56 | 2:21:00 | |
No, you might be interested in this
next item, we are talking about | 2:21:00 | 2:21:08 | |
pantomimes. Grinch! | 2:21:08 | 2:21:12 | |
Pantos - they've got a longstanding
and proud tradition of double | 2:21:12 | 2:21:15 | |
entendres and jokes which stray
a bit close to the bone. | 2:21:15 | 2:21:17 | |
Now one production in Manchester has
got into trouble after a mother | 2:21:17 | 2:21:20 | |
complained the performance
of Dick Whittington, starring | 2:21:20 | 2:21:22 | |
the Krankies and John Barrowman,
was "too smutty for children". | 2:21:22 | 2:21:29 | |
Natalie Wood said the show cross the
line from innuendo too raw for Gala | 2:21:29 | 2:21:35 | |
Tyreek -- for Garrity so is it time
for this Christmas tradition to | 2:21:35 | 2:21:38 | |
clean up its act? | 2:21:38 | 2:21:40 | |
Joining us now is radio talk show
host and panto actor Pete Price. | 2:21:40 | 2:21:43 | |
Have you seen this, yet? No, but
they are dear friends of mine, John | 2:21:43 | 2:21:51 | |
and the Krankies, I know that act.
Pantos have always feared on the | 2:21:51 | 2:21:58 | |
line of innuendo and people enjoy
that and the idea is that the | 2:21:58 | 2:22:02 | |
innuendo is there, but it is
supposed to pass over the heads of | 2:22:02 | 2:22:05 | |
the kids. The complaint is this has
not. Is this a trend, have you seen | 2:22:05 | 2:22:10 | |
this? I don't think it is a trend, I
have done 32 pantos this year, and | 2:22:10 | 2:22:16 | |
Jeannie at the Echo Arena in Aladdin
and I have little lines, but they | 2:22:16 | 2:22:20 | |
must go over the heads of the
children. But children are not | 2:22:20 | 2:22:25 | |
children any more with mobile phones
so it is difficult. Panto is for | 2:22:25 | 2:22:30 | |
everybody and more adults are going
to panto as well so it is a really | 2:22:30 | 2:22:33 | |
good thing. But you cannot cross the
line. The audience is so important. | 2:22:33 | 2:22:40 | |
These new audiences. Panto is so
essential because it takes a lot of | 2:22:40 | 2:22:44 | |
money which keep theatres alive and
it is bringing children in for the | 2:22:44 | 2:22:48 | |
first experience. They are our next
audience so they really to us. There | 2:22:48 | 2:22:54 | |
is a suggestion that a lot of
pantomimes, alongside the | 2:22:54 | 2:22:58 | |
traditional audience of children and
parents, another group is coming in, | 2:22:58 | 2:23:02 | |
grown-ups, adults out for a night
out after some drinks. Those shows | 2:23:02 | 2:23:07 | |
are trying to cater for them as
well. I suppose the danger is, do | 2:23:07 | 2:23:13 | |
you start, you get a big laugh in a
certain direction on stage may be | 2:23:13 | 2:23:17 | |
ad-libbing and because you hear
that, you go in a certain direction? | 2:23:17 | 2:23:22 | |
That could be a danger in a live
performance. Yes, but a good panto, | 2:23:22 | 2:23:27 | |
the ad lib is rehearsed and they are
not real. In a big panto, it is a | 2:23:27 | 2:23:33 | |
live line you draw. The successful
pantos, they do the lines. And you | 2:23:33 | 2:23:38 | |
cannot cross that line. There is no
point. But what do the kids say when | 2:23:38 | 2:23:43 | |
they go home and go, I played ugly
sister with Cilla Black and greatest | 2:23:43 | 2:23:47 | |
panto ever in 2008 at the Empire. It
was amazing, people came from all | 2:23:47 | 2:23:52 | |
over the world, but what do the kids
say when they say, why was there a | 2:23:52 | 2:23:55 | |
man dressed as a woman? You can
question anything in panto. Yes, but | 2:23:55 | 2:24:01 | |
that is different. I will tell you
why, because in this instance, there | 2:24:01 | 2:24:05 | |
was a play on words with the mainly
character, Dick Whittington. It is | 2:24:05 | 2:24:12 | |
difficult in Dick Whittington not to
do a play on words. There was also a | 2:24:12 | 2:24:16 | |
gesture. The gesture was wrong. It
is the principle that children go | 2:24:16 | 2:24:22 | |
home and copy these things, that is
what parents are concerned about. | 2:24:22 | 2:24:26 | |
But these things are not going over
their heads. Every ugly sister gets | 2:24:26 | 2:24:32 | |
groped by a Prince. Why is that
acceptable? Children are seeing that | 2:24:32 | 2:24:39 | |
happening onstage. It not
acceptable. Why is it entertainment? | 2:24:39 | 2:24:45 | |
But that has always been there. Oh,
Mrs! Is that offensive? That is | 2:24:45 | 2:24:51 | |
panto. The problem is, it is an
interesting topic. When the cultural | 2:24:51 | 2:25:00 | |
surroundings change, it is not OK to
have an answer which is, well, it | 2:25:00 | 2:25:05 | |
has aways been like that. Other
industries are not getting away with | 2:25:05 | 2:25:08 | |
that now, you have seen that in all
sorts of ways, in culture around the | 2:25:08 | 2:25:13 | |
entertainment industry, it is not OK
to say, it has always been like | 2:25:13 | 2:25:16 | |
that. This is a tricky balance. But
if you analyse a pantomime, however | 2:25:16 | 2:25:22 | |
good they are and however strong
they are, you could rip it apart. | 2:25:22 | 2:25:27 | |
But it is a tradition that belongs
to England. They are doing it in | 2:25:27 | 2:25:30 | |
America right now. I love the ad lib
is, and Liverpool, I was there with | 2:25:30 | 2:25:36 | |
Cilla Black when she did the famous
line and you went, how shall I kill | 2:25:36 | 2:25:41 | |
him? And somebody went, sing to him!
So you should not cross that line. | 2:25:41 | 2:25:46 | |
You also, don't insult children.
They are not stupid any more. As you | 2:25:46 | 2:25:52 | |
do panto, talk to me about the
organisations running the theatres. | 2:25:52 | 2:25:58 | |
We have had a spokesperson from the
pantomime producer. Kudos | 2:25:58 | 2:26:02 | |
entertainment and the Manchester
Opera House. They said, in keeping | 2:26:02 | 2:26:06 | |
with the tradition of pantomime, the
script does make use of double | 2:26:06 | 2:26:11 | |
entendres and, on the names of the
characters, we would talking about | 2:26:11 | 2:26:15 | |
Dick Whittington. I value feedback
and review comments for the | 2:26:15 | 2:26:19 | |
development of the show on stage and
scripts of the future. To get | 2:26:19 | 2:26:24 | |
feedback from the organisers who are
holding the pantomime to say, you | 2:26:24 | 2:26:28 | |
went too far this time? Years ago,
you got fined if you cross the line. | 2:26:28 | 2:26:35 | |
In the number 112 macro, every ad
lib is scripted. If the stars go | 2:26:35 | 2:26:40 | |
over the line, they have done that
themselves and they will not do | 2:26:40 | 2:26:44 | |
that. I have worked with the
Krankies and John and they'll love | 2:26:44 | 2:26:50 | |
the human beings and they certainly
would not offend anybody on purpose. | 2:26:50 | 2:26:53 | |
Really interesting, thank you very
much. Have a lovely Christmas. And | 2:26:53 | 2:26:58 | |
for that lady, please don't come to
Liverpool because next week, I am | 2:26:58 | 2:27:03 | |
playing Bad Santa for three hours
every night and I am really cross -- | 2:27:03 | 2:27:09 | |
really crossing the line. To that
lady, don't come! Thanks very much. | 2:27:09 | 2:30:35 | |
That's it for now, I'll be back
in around half an hour. | 2:30:39 | 2:30:43 | |
Hello. | 2:30:52 | 2:30:53 | |
This is Breakfast, with
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | 2:30:53 | 2:31:01 | |
First, our main story. | 2:31:01 | 2:31:02 | |
Brexit negotiations will reach a key
milestone today when EU leaders | 2:31:02 | 2:31:05 | |
will give the green light for talks
to move to the second stage. | 2:31:05 | 2:31:08 | |
Last night at a dinner
in Brussels, Theresa May | 2:31:08 | 2:31:14 | |
One in six parents in the UK
gives their children | 2:31:14 | 2:31:16 | |
alcohol by the age of 14,
according to new research. | 2:31:16 | 2:31:19 | |
That's despite medical advice
which says children should not drink | 2:31:19 | 2:31:21 | |
until they are at least
a year older. | 2:31:21 | 2:31:23 | |
Researchers from University College
London also found white, | 2:31:23 | 2:31:26 | |
well-educated parents were most
likely to have a relaxed attitude | 2:31:26 | 2:31:28 | |
to young people drinking. | 2:31:28 | 2:31:32 | |
The Church of England has apologised
to the family of a bishop | 2:31:32 | 2:31:35 | |
for failings in the way it
investigated allegations of child | 2:31:35 | 2:31:38 | |
abuse against him almost 60
years after his death. | 2:31:38 | 2:31:40 | |
An independent review
of the investigation into the former | 2:31:40 | 2:31:42 | |
Bishop of Chichester,
George Bell, is being | 2:31:42 | 2:31:44 | |
published this morning. | 2:31:44 | 2:31:45 | |
He died in 1958. | 2:31:45 | 2:31:52 | |
The White House says Donald Trump
and the Russian president, | 2:31:52 | 2:31:54 | |
Vladimir Putin, have discussed
working together to resolve | 2:31:54 | 2:31:56 | |
the crisis over North Korea's
nuclear programme. | 2:31:56 | 2:31:58 | |
Meanwhile, the most senior UN
official to visit North Korea | 2:31:58 | 2:32:00 | |
for six years told the BBC
Pyongyang should re-open | 2:32:00 | 2:32:02 | |
communication channels
with South Korea, which were | 2:32:02 | 2:32:04 | |
suspended in 2009. | 2:32:04 | 2:32:14 | |
Charges have been brought
against the leader of the far-right | 2:32:28 | 2:32:31 | |
group, Britain First in connection
with a rally held | 2:32:31 | 2:32:33 | |
in Belfast in August. | 2:32:33 | 2:32:34 | |
Paul Golding is accused
of using threatening, | 2:32:34 | 2:32:36 | |
insulting or abusive
words or behaviour. | 2:32:36 | 2:32:37 | |
His group's deputy leader,
Jayda Fransen, appeared in court | 2:32:37 | 2:32:39 | |
yesterday to face the same charge
in relation to the rally. | 2:32:39 | 2:32:42 | |
She was later arrested and charged
in connection with a separate | 2:32:42 | 2:32:45 | |
incident in Belfast on Wednesday. | 2:32:45 | 2:32:46 | |
Britain's most senior military
officer has warned of a new threat | 2:32:46 | 2:32:48 | |
posed by Russia to communications
cables that run under the sea. | 2:32:48 | 2:32:51 | |
The head of the Defence Staff, | 2:32:51 | 2:32:52 | |
Air Chief Marshall Sir Stuart Peach,
said Britain and NATO must avoid | 2:32:52 | 2:32:55 | |
the risk of a potentially
"catastrophic" effect on the economy | 2:32:55 | 2:32:58 | |
if the cables were cut. | 2:32:58 | 2:32:59 | |
What about this for a giant
seasonal greeting? | 2:32:59 | 2:33:01 | |
A pilot traced an outline
of an enormous Christmas tree | 2:33:01 | 2:33:03 | |
during a test flight of an Airbus
A380. | 2:33:03 | 2:33:05 | |
The tree, complete with baubles,
stretched for hundreds | 2:33:05 | 2:33:07 | |
of kilometres across Germany,
from Hamburg in the north | 2:33:07 | 2:33:09 | |
to Stuttgart in the south. | 2:33:09 | 2:33:19 | |
How long use bows that took? It was
five hours, 22 minutes. | 2:33:24 | 2:33:38 | |
I will always look for her in the
audience. I'm looking straight at | 2:33:42 | 2:33:45 | |
her, it is a way of saying, whatever
happens, success or failure, we have | 2:33:45 | 2:33:50 | |
got each other. How do you deal with
nerves when you are a Hollywood | 2:33:50 | 2:33:56 | |
superstar like you jacked a man, we
speak with him about his family and | 2:33:56 | 2:34:01 | |
how he deals with worries. -- Hugh
Jackman. It has taken 30,000 metres | 2:34:01 | 2:34:08 | |
of silk and 3000 lanterns, we live
at Longleat, it is transformed into | 2:34:08 | 2:34:14 | |
a fairy tale. | 2:34:14 | 2:34:16 | |
Also this morning, three Mobos, a
Brit award nomination and beating Ed | 2:34:27 | 2:34:30 | |
Sheeran to BBC Music's artist of
2017 - it's been quite a year for | 2:34:30 | 2:34:33 | |
Stormzy. He'll be here just after
nine. Not a bad year. Just to cap a | 2:34:33 | 2:34:40 | |
great year, he is on the side of
the! -- he is on the sofa! | 2:34:40 | 2:34:51 | |
Head of football focus, I don't know
what we will be doing with Dan | 2:34:51 | 2:34:54 | |
Walker, he is not moving from his
spot, until Steve Smith is out, the | 2:34:54 | 2:34:58 | |
way it is looking, it could be a
very long time before this trailing | 2:34:58 | 2:35:01 | |
captain is out, and a half of us
all, we want to see Dan Walker on | 2:35:01 | 2:35:08 | |
Football Focus! Where there was
hope, there is now frustration, an | 2:35:08 | 2:35:14 | |
update on the scorecard, after a
roller-coaster of a second day, in | 2:35:14 | 2:35:17 | |
the third Ashes Test, Australia are
back in this. | 2:35:17 | 2:35:30 | |
Steve Smith has moved on to 53.
Closing the gap, 282 behind. | 2:35:30 | 2:35:44 | |
It started really well for England,
as Johnny Bairstow celebrated | 2:35:52 | 2:35:56 | |
a century, eventually out for 114,
add this David Malam's | 2:35:56 | 2:36:00 | |
140 and at this point the tourists
looked set for a massive score. | 2:36:00 | 2:36:07 | |
But once these two were
dismissed, England's last 5 wickets | 2:36:07 | 2:36:11 | |
fell for less than 30 runs. | 2:36:11 | 2:36:13 | |
And so they had to settled,
for 403 and that score | 2:36:13 | 2:36:16 | |
looked even healthier,
when Craig Overton in only his | 2:36:16 | 2:36:22 | |
second test match took two wickets,
including Cameron Bankcroft's. | 2:36:22 | 2:36:30 | |
But if the home fans sensed
troubled, then Captain Steve Smith | 2:36:30 | 2:36:32 | |
has led by example and its nearly
100 runs since his side | 2:36:32 | 2:36:35 | |
last lost a wicket. | 2:36:35 | 2:36:37 | |
There'll be no non-league sides
in the third round of the FA. | 2:36:37 | 2:36:44 | |
Cup after the last of them,
Hereford, lost 2-0 to Fleetwood | 2:36:44 | 2:36:46 | |
in a second round replay last night. | 2:36:46 | 2:36:48 | |
Cian Bolger scoring both goals. | 2:36:48 | 2:36:49 | |
Fleetwood will play Leicester
in the next round, so we'll see | 2:36:49 | 2:36:52 | |
Jamie Vardy returning
to his old club. | 2:36:52 | 2:36:53 | |
Imagine taking your horse over an
elephant... The equivalent of that | 2:36:53 | 2:36:56 | |
has happened... Two metres 20, that
is the average size of an Asian | 2:36:56 | 2:37:02 | |
elephant. | 2:37:02 | 2:37:04 | |
A spectacular performance
from Laura Renwick at | 2:37:04 | 2:37:06 | |
the Olympia Horse Show in London,
she rode Top Dollar | 2:37:06 | 2:37:08 | |
to victory in the Puissance,
clearing 2 metres 20, | 2:37:08 | 2:37:11 | |
which no-one else had managed. | 2:37:11 | 2:37:12 | |
He's a young horse, too,
only eight years old, | 2:37:12 | 2:37:14 | |
so all the more impressive. | 2:37:14 | 2:37:15 | |
Why did you pick an Asian elephant?
I typed into the Internet, what is | 2:37:15 | 2:37:19 | |
two metres 20 told... And that is
the average height of an Asian | 2:37:19 | 2:37:23 | |
elephant. African elephants have
bigger is, and they are much bigger | 2:37:23 | 2:37:26 | |
entirely. | 2:37:26 | 2:37:28 | |
We've been tackling some tough
weather conditions in many parts | 2:37:28 | 2:37:30 | |
of the country this week,
but it's nothing compared | 2:37:30 | 2:37:32 | |
with what's facing the sailors
in the Volvo Ocean Race. | 2:37:32 | 2:37:35 | |
This is one of the yachts,
in the Southern Ocean, | 2:37:35 | 2:37:38 | |
look at this wave, crash over
the entire boat, sending the skipper | 2:37:38 | 2:37:42 | |
flying along the deck. | 2:37:42 | 2:37:49 | |
You can see that there is a safety
toe line they are attached to, they | 2:37:49 | 2:37:53 | |
are free to move around, but if the
worst happens, there is a safety | 2:37:53 | 2:37:59 | |
line, which would save them
completely disappearing into the | 2:37:59 | 2:38:01 | |
ocean. | 2:38:01 | 2:38:02 | |
The seven crews are currently coping
with severe storms, | 2:38:02 | 2:38:04 | |
on their way from Cape
Town to Melbourne. | 2:38:04 | 2:38:14 | |
And ahead of the BBC Sports
Personality of the Year trophy | 2:38:25 | 2:38:30 | |
being handed out on Sunday night, | 2:38:30 | 2:38:32 | |
the Overseas personality
of the year has been announced, | 2:38:32 | 2:38:37 | |
and it's Roger Federer. | 2:38:37 | 2:38:38 | |
He's had a great year,
winning his 8th wimbledon | 2:38:38 | 2:38:41 | |
title at the age of 35,
he defied the odds, and previous | 2:38:41 | 2:38:44 | |
injuries, to win Wimbledon
and the Australian Open in 2017 | 2:38:44 | 2:38:46 | |
to take his grand slam tally to 19. | 2:38:46 | 2:38:48 | |
This is a record fourth time
Federer has won the award. | 2:38:48 | 2:38:50 | |
This has been going since 1954, all
the names of the winners around | 2:38:50 | 2:38:53 | |
here... Four tiers below the silver
camera. May I have a look? Well... | 2:38:53 | 2:39:01 | |
How clean are your hands. And, it is
very heavy. It is back to regular. | 2:39:01 | 2:39:07 | |
Can you see all the names. His name
has been there three of the last | 2:39:07 | 2:39:13 | |
four years, Andy Murray, there is 12
nominations, you can go to check out | 2:39:13 | 2:39:18 | |
the BBC sport website. Do you know
who got it in 1954? CJ Chattaway. | 2:39:18 | 2:39:35 | |
Are, yes, Chris Chattaway, indeed --
ah. I haven't ever really dropped | 2:39:35 | 2:39:42 | |
it. It really does command the
respect of the entire sporting | 2:39:42 | 2:39:47 | |
world. I have got to take it safely
to Liverpool, in time for Sunday | 2:39:47 | 2:39:52 | |
night, I will polish it up and it
will be already. It is live on the | 2:39:52 | 2:39:57 | |
BBC on Sunday. I'm trying to make
the connection between Hugh | 2:39:57 | 2:40:01 | |
Jackman... Big sports fan, true... | 2:40:01 | 2:40:06 | |
And also,, he has lots of awards... | 2:40:06 | 2:40:18 | |
Hugh Jackman plays a
larger-than-life personality, PT | 2:40:18 | 2:40:23 | |
Barnum, and we talked about all
sorts of things, including how he | 2:40:23 | 2:40:29 | |
started to get his skills worked out
for his new role. | 2:40:29 | 2:40:37 | |
Are you a top hat man? I routinely
wear one... As I stroll around... | 2:40:37 | 2:40:44 | |
Who is! LAUGHTER.
It is an impressive look, can you, | 2:40:44 | 2:40:47 | |
for a second, the thing is, the top
hat, impresario, the circus, it is a | 2:40:47 | 2:40:53 | |
symbol, it is one of those things,
you put on the hat and you think... | 2:40:53 | 2:40:59 | |
100%, the long code, it is
synonymous, the cane... Clearly, I'm | 2:40:59 | 2:41:05 | |
insecure, at six foot two, and I
needed a more inches. There we go. | 2:41:05 | 2:41:10 | |
As soon as you had it in your hand. | 2:41:10 | 2:41:15 | |
How do you do that that easily,
you've done it many, many times? | 2:41:15 | 2:41:22 | |
..I would have done
6,000 times in my life. | 2:41:22 | 2:41:24 | |
This was me on set all day. | 2:41:24 | 2:41:26 | |
It looks easy but I dropped
about the first 300. | 2:41:26 | 2:41:34 | |
My sense is that you have quite a
big head. Actually, at school, I was | 2:41:34 | 2:41:40 | |
called Pea Head. The Movistar rule,
short, big head. -- movie star. | 2:41:40 | 2:41:53 | |
What did you know about
Barnum, the character? | 2:41:53 | 2:41:54 | |
I'd seen the musical,
there's a Broadway musical | 2:41:54 | 2:41:56 | |
in the '70s that Cy Coleman
wrote the music for, | 2:41:56 | 2:41:59 | |
Michael Crawford did very famously
for four years here, | 2:41:59 | 2:42:01 | |
so I knew the story from that. | 2:42:01 | 2:42:03 | |
I've now read 37 books on him,
and he's one of the most mecurial, | 2:42:03 | 2:42:06 | |
interesting, self-promoting
characters there's ever been | 2:42:06 | 2:42:07 | |
and he is the true definition
of a disrupter, | 2:42:07 | 2:42:10 | |
which we use a lot
these days to describe Elon Musk, | 2:42:10 | 2:42:12 | |
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs. | 2:42:12 | 2:42:16 | |
Parts of what he was doing then,
the show that he created, | 2:42:25 | 2:42:29 | |
feel a bit uncomfortable
now, don't they? | 2:42:29 | 2:42:31 | |
It's interesting, at the time
he was accused of exploiting people | 2:42:31 | 2:42:37 | |
because a lot of people will
remember the movie The Elephant Man | 2:42:37 | 2:42:40 | |
or they understand there was this
sort of seedy side to show business, | 2:42:40 | 2:42:46 | |
"back alley" where you would go
and see a bearded person | 2:42:46 | 2:42:49 | |
or whatever, some kind of deformity | 2:42:49 | 2:42:51 | |
and people were making
money off that. | 2:42:51 | 2:42:54 | |
He brought them out into the open
and interestingly he inadvertently | 2:42:54 | 2:43:00 | |
created this family,
and he inadvertently made the entire | 2:43:00 | 2:43:02 | |
world fall in love
with these people. | 2:43:02 | 2:43:03 | |
A lot of these people had been
hidden in basements literally | 2:43:03 | 2:43:06 | |
by their families and they felt love
and acceptance for the first time | 2:43:06 | 2:43:09 | |
and they loved him for it. | 2:43:09 | 2:43:18 | |
There are some big
numbers in this film, | 2:43:35 | 2:43:37 | |
and you are at the heart of them. | 2:43:37 | 2:43:47 | |
I was an actor whose dream was to be
at the national Theatre Royal | 2:43:50 | 2:43:54 | |
Shakespeare Company, that was my
dream, and I found myself doing a | 2:43:54 | 2:43:57 | |
television series... And I learned
to do it, but from there, it was | 2:43:57 | 2:44:02 | |
weird, I became known for musical
theatre. Because you did Oklahoma, | 2:44:02 | 2:44:07 | |
over here. Even when I was here,
doing Oklahoma, they said, musical | 2:44:07 | 2:44:11 | |
guy, not a film actor. But I said, I
am faking that, I am actually an | 2:44:11 | 2:44:17 | |
actor, I am not musical theatre. | 2:44:17 | 2:44:23 | |
I can't just run off
and join the circus? | 2:44:23 | 2:44:26 | |
Why not? | 2:44:26 | 2:44:27 | |
You clearly have a flair
for show business. | 2:44:27 | 2:44:29 | |
For show business? | 2:44:29 | 2:44:32 | |
I've never heard of it.
That's 'cause I just invented it. | 2:44:32 | 2:44:35 | |
I think people think
of you as a very confident | 2:44:35 | 2:44:37 | |
performer, but as I understand it
you, over the years, | 2:44:37 | 2:44:40 | |
have had your own things,
self-doubts and whatever about... | 2:44:40 | 2:44:42 | |
For sure. | 2:44:42 | 2:44:43 | |
I'm more afraid of fear
stopping me living my life | 2:44:43 | 2:44:45 | |
or stopping me make choices. | 2:44:45 | 2:44:46 | |
For example, when I was asked
to host the Oscars I was actually | 2:44:46 | 2:44:50 | |
in this very hotel when I got
the call, it was 1am, | 2:44:50 | 2:44:52 | |
and I just went, "I'm
a kid from Australia," | 2:44:52 | 2:44:55 | |
it was Spielberg on the line, | 2:44:55 | 2:44:56 | |
and I was, like, "Yes, of course." | 2:44:56 | 2:44:58 | |
When I hung up the phone, | 2:44:58 | 2:44:59 | |
the next ten minutes later I was,
like, "What did I do? | 2:44:59 | 2:45:02 | |
You didn't have to say yes to that." | 2:45:02 | 2:45:04 | |
So, I do have doubts. | 2:45:04 | 2:45:05 | |
It's been a good motivator
for me in my life. | 2:45:05 | 2:45:08 | |
It's frightening but
it'll be OK in the end. | 2:45:08 | 2:45:10 | |
I think that's got to do
with a couple of things, | 2:45:10 | 2:45:12 | |
I think it's got a lot to do
with my relationship with Deb. | 2:45:12 | 2:45:15 | |
If you ever see me walk out
onto a stage you will see me | 2:45:15 | 2:45:19 | |
put my hand down and I will look
for her in the audience. | 2:45:19 | 2:45:22 | |
That's your wife? | 2:45:22 | 2:45:23 | |
I will look for her and it's a way
of saying whatever happens, | 2:45:23 | 2:45:26 | |
success or failure, we've got each
other but it sounds corny but for me | 2:45:26 | 2:45:29 | |
that kind of security has really,
really helped me, that kind | 2:45:29 | 2:45:32 | |
of unconditional love
has really helped me. | 2:45:32 | 2:45:35 | |
Teen people booed off at the cricket
ground. I had a panic attack the | 2:45:52 | 2:45:56 | |
night before. What am I doing, I am
an actor, what am I thinking? I | 2:45:56 | 2:46:02 | |
remember in the dressing room I was
warming up, I sang at about 15 times | 2:46:02 | 2:46:07 | |
in the dressing room, and this old
Solti was sweeping the floor said | 2:46:07 | 2:46:11 | |
you seem a bit tonally. He said,
there's 400 million watching on | 2:46:11 | 2:46:18 | |
telly. So I walked out, apoplectic,
and just as I was introduced to | 2:46:18 | 2:46:25 | |
sing, ladies and gentlemen, star of
stage and screen, and I'd been in | 2:46:25 | 2:46:31 | |
one musical and one TV show, star of
stage and screen, Mr Hugh Jackman. | 2:46:31 | 2:46:40 | |
Boo!. There are 30,000 New
Zealanders above me, and the captain | 2:46:40 | 2:46:46 | |
of the Australian rugby team at the
time said a few things I cannot say | 2:46:46 | 2:46:49 | |
on camera about this being our home
and I was like, yeah, and I felt | 2:46:49 | 2:46:54 | |
like Henry V and if it wasn't for
the booing and the captain, I | 2:46:54 | 2:46:58 | |
wouldn't be sitting here now. | 2:46:58 | 2:47:00 | |
Hugh Jackman's Christmas. | 2:47:00 | 2:47:01 | |
I will be in Australia this time. | 2:47:01 | 2:47:03 | |
It will be hot. | 2:47:03 | 2:47:04 | |
You'll be on the beach? | 2:47:04 | 2:47:05 | |
I live on the beach. | 2:47:05 | 2:47:06 | |
Definitely go on the beach and we do
the whole hot dinner catastrophe, | 2:47:06 | 2:47:09 | |
we do everything. | 2:47:09 | 2:47:13 | |
I have English parents so to me
Christmas has to have gravy, | 2:47:13 | 2:47:17 | |
roast potatoes, ham and turkey,
Christmas putting with the little 5 | 2:47:17 | 2:47:20 | |
cent pieces stuck in the middle,
brandy butter, custard, | 2:47:20 | 2:47:22 | |
the whole thing, sweating,
the paper hats disintegrating, | 2:47:22 | 2:47:24 | |
bad jokes, the whole thing. | 2:47:24 | 2:47:28 | |
Lovely! | 2:47:28 | 2:47:29 | |
Thank you. | 2:47:29 | 2:47:30 | |
Charlie, thanks mate. | 2:47:30 | 2:47:38 | |
An odd image of sweating into a
paper hat. In Australia some people | 2:47:38 | 2:47:42 | |
still go to the whole Christmas
lunch thing and do it regardless. | 2:47:42 | 2:47:45 | |
Like Hugh Jackman and his family.
Matt loves Christmas tradition and | 2:47:45 | 2:47:50 | |
he is all geared up for it, aren't
you, Matt? Yes. I love Christmas. | 2:47:50 | 2:47:56 | |
Only ten more sleeps to go, I will
get there. My poor kids. I think I | 2:47:56 | 2:48:00 | |
have a job to do this weekend
anyway. We are at Longleat this | 2:48:00 | 2:48:06 | |
morning among the Festival of light
and it's been a stunning setting, | 2:48:06 | 2:48:12 | |
stunning location and stunning
lanterns. And here to tell us more | 2:48:12 | 2:48:16 | |
about the festival is Steve from
Longleat. Thank you for showing us | 2:48:16 | 2:48:22 | |
around this morning. An amazing
festival. How long does it take to | 2:48:22 | 2:48:25 | |
put one of these shows together? We
have around 3000 lanterns and it's | 2:48:25 | 2:48:30 | |
about a year in the making. So from
the designing which happens in the | 2:48:30 | 2:48:36 | |
house at Longleat, that is worked
with with the teams in China who | 2:48:36 | 2:48:40 | |
specialise in making the lanterns
and they arrive here in about | 2:48:40 | 2:48:44 | |
September and we spend about eight
weeks crafting the lanterns across | 2:48:44 | 2:48:47 | |
the state, so a year-long job. There
is a lot of planning and a lot of | 2:48:47 | 2:48:53 | |
large-scale lanterns and they are
scattered around the estate and | 2:48:53 | 2:48:57 | |
there are a variety of skills, from
electricians, carpenters. All sorts | 2:48:57 | 2:49:04 | |
of people who come here to create
it. If we take a look at some of the | 2:49:04 | 2:49:08 | |
footage from last night around the
lanterns here. There is an obvious | 2:49:08 | 2:49:13 | |
theme, you could say. It is the 40th
year of doing it, and this year we | 2:49:13 | 2:49:18 | |
decided to do it on the magic story
tearing -- telling. So behind as we | 2:49:18 | 2:49:24 | |
have Hansel and Gretel, and on the
lake we have the Little mermaid, and | 2:49:24 | 2:49:29 | |
a large galley and about 30 metres
long. The largest lantern is | 2:49:29 | 2:49:33 | |
sleeping beauty 's Castle, so 25
metres high, and a big construction. | 2:49:33 | 2:49:39 | |
They look stunning and I believe it
is on until the 7th of January. Good | 2:49:39 | 2:49:45 | |
luck. Thank you for joining us. It's
been an amazing site this morning. | 2:49:45 | 2:49:51 | |
It has been a bit chilly, as it has
been across the UK, so let's look at | 2:49:51 | 2:49:56 | |
the forecast. | 2:49:56 | 2:49:57 | |
Chilly start with Frost are nice
lots of showers in southern England | 2:50:01 | 2:50:05 | |
where they were earlier on, and the
skies are now starting to clear. The | 2:50:05 | 2:50:09 | |
big difference this morning with
yesterday is that it is the eastern | 2:50:09 | 2:50:13 | |
areas seeing the cloud, outbreaks of
rain. A bit of Thunder cannot be | 2:50:13 | 2:50:18 | |
ruled out with the showers but the
Western half of England up into | 2:50:18 | 2:50:21 | |
Scotland, most of you dry and sunny
but cold and frosty this morning. | 2:50:21 | 2:50:25 | |
Some showers in northern Scotland,
but nowhere near as wet in Northern | 2:50:25 | 2:50:29 | |
Ireland as it was yesterday. The
same can be said for Wales on the | 2:50:29 | 2:50:33 | |
south-west. We are going to see the
familiar line of showers running | 2:50:33 | 2:50:40 | |
down Wales, they will come and go,
and there could be sleet and snow on | 2:50:40 | 2:50:43 | |
the high ground but through much of
Wales and the south-west, dry and | 2:50:43 | 2:50:47 | |
sunny day. Not as breezy as
yesterday across the South West but | 2:50:47 | 2:50:51 | |
the breeze we have is coming in from
the north and it will make it feel | 2:50:51 | 2:50:55 | |
distinctly chilly across the UK and
a raw wind in the eastern parts | 2:50:55 | 2:50:59 | |
where the showers will come and go
all day. A few showers in northern | 2:50:59 | 2:51:03 | |
Scotland and one or two in the far
West and Northern Ireland, of the | 2:51:03 | 2:51:08 | |
most, dry afternoon with good sunny
spells but temperatures down on | 2:51:08 | 2:51:11 | |
yesterday's values at around three
or 7 degrees. And the wind will make | 2:51:11 | 2:51:16 | |
it feel colder than that. Tonight,
the wind will be lighter and some | 2:51:16 | 2:51:21 | |
showers around the coast, but inland
with the clear skies we will see | 2:51:21 | 2:51:25 | |
mist and fog forming which could
linger into Saturday morning but a | 2:51:25 | 2:51:28 | |
widespread fast -- Frost.
Temperatures will fall lower in the | 2:51:28 | 2:51:35 | |
countryside and you can see the
towns and cities are below freezing | 2:51:35 | 2:51:40 | |
as we start the weekend. A lovely
crisp and cold start to the weekend | 2:51:40 | 2:51:45 | |
and where we have fog it will take
awhile to shift, but tomorrow it | 2:51:45 | 2:51:48 | |
looks like some of the brightest
weather will be in the east of the | 2:51:48 | 2:51:52 | |
country and the West with cloud
increasing. Parts of Wales, the | 2:51:52 | 2:51:57 | |
Midlands, the south-west might seek
showers but the temperatures | 2:51:57 | 2:51:59 | |
creeping up here, but the most
another cold day. Into Sunday the | 2:51:59 | 2:52:04 | |
wind picks up and milder air pushes
in but there is a downside if you | 2:52:04 | 2:52:08 | |
prefer your days crisp and cold,
because it turns milder, but wetter | 2:52:08 | 2:52:14 | |
across the country. Rain on and off
through the day and the heaviest in | 2:52:14 | 2:52:17 | |
the West and over the hills.
Changing conditions after the cold | 2:52:17 | 2:52:22 | |
weather the past two weeks. Enjoy
your weekend, and I am now off to | 2:52:22 | 2:52:26 | |
put the Christmas tree up. Goodbye
for now. | 2:52:26 | 2:52:28 | |
Your kids will be pleased. They will
be. Matt, lovely to see you. See you | 2:52:31 | 2:52:38 | |
soon. Take care. We shall go to a
man propping up a bar in a | 2:52:38 | 2:52:48 | |
retirement village. An extraordinary
statistic. | 2:52:48 | 2:52:51 | |
More people than ever before
will have turned 70 in 2017. | 2:52:51 | 2:52:58 | |
It is. These are the baby boomers of
which we hear so much about. We are | 2:52:58 | 2:53:03 | |
in Whiteley retirement village in
Surrey. Terry was a publican for 20 | 2:53:03 | 2:53:09 | |
years. Man and boy. I know this is
not your domain but I thought we'd | 2:53:09 | 2:53:14 | |
introduce you behind the bar. What
is life like for you here? | 2:53:14 | 2:53:18 | |
Fantastic. I've been here for 12
years and there is as much to do or | 2:53:18 | 2:53:22 | |
as little to do as you want, but
want to do something we have golf, | 2:53:22 | 2:53:26 | |
bowls, loads of different things,
line dancing, snooker and in fact | 2:53:26 | 2:53:31 | |
I've got a match at ten o'clock. We
better let you get on with it. If | 2:53:31 | 2:53:36 | |
you want to come in there, you'd be
welcome. We have learned you can | 2:53:36 | 2:53:41 | |
take a bit of a nap in between to
keep you going. Good morning. You | 2:53:41 | 2:53:45 | |
are the CEO of the village. Why is
this different to other retirement | 2:53:45 | 2:53:52 | |
villages we might know about? The
real difference is that we were set | 2:53:52 | 2:53:56 | |
up 100 years ago and we have a
tradition and history to build on | 2:53:56 | 2:54:00 | |
for the future. So plans for the
next hundred years are really | 2:54:00 | 2:54:04 | |
important and the community here is
the thing that makes the big | 2:54:04 | 2:54:06 | |
difference. It's not only our homes
and the care and support we deliver, | 2:54:06 | 2:54:11 | |
but the community that works
together and it is made up of many | 2:54:11 | 2:54:13 | |
different elements, not just the
people who live here like Terry, the | 2:54:13 | 2:54:18 | |
volunteers and the trustees coming
together and making a real | 2:54:18 | 2:54:21 | |
difference about people's lives.
That is why we are launching the | 2:54:21 | 2:54:25 | |
foundation today. Give it a plug. We
are launching our foundation for a | 2:54:25 | 2:54:31 | |
collection of innovative thinking.
This will help other organisations | 2:54:31 | 2:54:37 | |
learn from you. And also to bring
other people to come to us because | 2:54:37 | 2:54:41 | |
we don't have all the answers. But
bringing those things together and | 2:54:41 | 2:54:45 | |
creating compensations about what is
working well around helping people | 2:54:45 | 2:54:49 | |
age well in the future is going to
be really important. That is what we | 2:54:49 | 2:54:52 | |
want the foundation to do. Let's
bring in Elizabeth. A former nurse | 2:54:52 | 2:54:59 | |
and a campaigner. There are cultural
differences, aren't there, in ageing | 2:54:59 | 2:55:05 | |
that perhaps are underrepresented
and people don't think about them as | 2:55:05 | 2:55:08 | |
much as other aspects. That's
absolutely right. I am an example. I | 2:55:08 | 2:55:13 | |
am 70. I know I don't look it. I was
born in this country and I think | 2:55:13 | 2:55:18 | |
that surprises people because when
they think of diverse communities | 2:55:18 | 2:55:21 | |
they think they have come into the
country more recently, so we have to | 2:55:21 | 2:55:25 | |
remember that and embrace everybody
as they get older, and you would | 2:55:25 | 2:55:30 | |
like to think services are catered
to their needs. So as we get older, | 2:55:30 | 2:55:35 | |
we get stuck in our ways and we
would like to think that the health | 2:55:35 | 2:55:39 | |
service, social services, whatever
do cater for that as well. We talk | 2:55:39 | 2:55:44 | |
sometimes positively about people
ageing and sometimes there are | 2:55:44 | 2:55:47 | |
concerns also. That's right. I have
been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. | 2:55:47 | 2:55:53 | |
It brings it home to you that there
are physical aspects but also | 2:55:53 | 2:55:58 | |
emotional aspects. Loneliness is an
issue for anybody, but I'm | 2:55:58 | 2:56:02 | |
particularly interested in those who
have come from overseas who cannot | 2:56:02 | 2:56:06 | |
afford to go back or physically
unable to go back to their mother | 2:56:06 | 2:56:10 | |
countries, if you like. Therefore
isolation can be particularly bad | 2:56:10 | 2:56:13 | |
for them, but it does affect lots
and lots of people, unfortunately. | 2:56:13 | 2:56:20 | |
We will talk loneliness in a few
moments. Last word to Terry. Keeping | 2:56:20 | 2:56:24 | |
yourself busy, that the trick? We
can see some shots of the site now | 2:56:24 | 2:56:29 | |
to give us an idea of where we are.
There is as much to do or as little | 2:56:29 | 2:56:34 | |
to do. We doing courage people,
whether it is a slow walk up to the | 2:56:34 | 2:56:39 | |
shop or go and do a ten K run, but
we have a nice golf course, lots of | 2:56:39 | 2:56:47 | |
outside facilities, and indoor line
dancing and an amateur dramatics | 2:56:47 | 2:56:55 | |
society that comes on, or you can
sit in a corner and have a game of | 2:56:55 | 2:56:59 | |
cards. Something for everyone. We
try to encourage people to do a bit | 2:56:59 | 2:57:05 | |
of exercise. Just to be physically
active. If you're going to live | 2:57:05 | 2:57:09 | |
somewhere, you might as well live
here. Something for everybody. | 2:57:09 | 2:57:13 | |
Talking about physical activity for
prompting me to make this seamless | 2:57:13 | 2:57:17 | |
link. It was one of the questions we
asked a group of 70-year-olds, born | 2:57:17 | 2:57:23 | |
in 1947, and we asked them what life
is like for them these days and this | 2:57:23 | 2:57:27 | |
is what they told us. | 2:57:27 | 2:57:29 | |
We've gathered a group of
septuagenarians from across the UK | 2:57:29 | 2:57:31 | |
to deliberate, cogitate
and celebrate life at 70. | 2:57:31 | 2:57:37 | |
Here at the Hawth Theatre
in Crawley, a town also born | 2:57:37 | 2:57:40 | |
in 1947, it's panto season
and behind us is the set | 2:57:40 | 2:57:48 | |
for Snow White and
the Seven Dwarves. | 2:57:48 | 2:57:50 | |
So the first question
is about going off to work. | 2:57:50 | 2:57:53 | |
How many of you here
are still working? | 2:57:53 | 2:57:54 | |
Workers over there please. | 2:57:54 | 2:57:55 | |
People either retired or not working
over on that side please. | 2:57:55 | 2:57:59 | |
In our group, 28% still work. | 2:57:59 | 2:58:02 | |
This isn't a scientific survey,
of course, but in 2005 the national | 2:58:02 | 2:58:05 | |
figure was less than 5%. | 2:58:05 | 2:58:08 | |
So you've gone back to work? | 2:58:08 | 2:58:13 | |
Yes, because I wanted
to keep my brain going and I wanted | 2:58:13 | 2:58:17 | |
to give back actually all that
I have learnt in 70 years. | 2:58:17 | 2:58:20 | |
Going well? | 2:58:20 | 2:58:23 | |
Love it, love it. | 2:58:23 | 2:58:25 | |
I'm now do things I want to do
rather than things I have to do. | 2:58:25 | 2:58:28 | |
I work in the film industry. | 2:58:28 | 2:58:29 | |
Look-a-like. | 2:58:29 | 2:58:32 | |
A lot of people think I looked
like Robert De Niro. | 2:58:32 | 2:58:35 | |
I was going to say Robert De Niro. | 2:58:35 | 2:58:37 | |
You talkin' to me? | 2:58:37 | 2:58:39 | |
How many of you are active
at least once a week, | 2:58:39 | 2:58:43 | |
we're talking about a brisk walk,
maybe even jogging. | 2:58:43 | 2:58:45 | |
78% say they exercise. | 2:58:45 | 2:58:46 | |
I'm still competing in triathlons. | 2:58:46 | 2:58:48 | |
Wow! | 2:58:48 | 2:58:52 | |
I do aqua aerobics, three sessions. | 2:58:52 | 2:58:55 | |
Yoga. | 2:58:55 | 2:58:58 | |
Pilates, tai chi and tennis. | 2:58:58 | 2:59:04 | |
No, I have never been
interested in sport. | 2:59:04 | 2:59:08 | |
I rely on genetics,
all my family died old, | 2:59:08 | 2:59:10 | |
didn't like sport,
so I'm depending on that. | 2:59:10 | 2:59:12 | |
How many of you feel financially
stable as a 70-year-old? | 2:59:13 | 2:59:17 | |
88% were happy with their finances,
better of than younger generations. | 2:59:18 | 2:59:21 | |
My husband and I when we retired
sold our house, sold our home | 2:59:27 | 2:59:30 | |
at the height of the property boom
and invested the money. | 2:59:30 | 2:59:33 | |
Our generation, people that did
own property have done well on it | 2:59:33 | 2:59:36 | |
with house prices,
unlike the younger generation, | 2:59:36 | 2:59:38 | |
who are now struggling. | 2:59:38 | 2:59:44 | |
I have to watch my pennies and be
careful what I do | 2:59:44 | 2:59:47 | |
and can't go on expensive holidays. | 2:59:47 | 2:59:51 | |
There's no way I would think
we were poor | 2:59:51 | 2:59:55 | |
or struggling in any way, | 2:59:55 | 2:59:56 | |
but neither are we rich. | 2:59:56 | 2:59:58 | |
And still working, still
touring at 70 is Kiki Dee. | 2:59:58 | 3:00:00 | |
I think we're all trucking on really
for various reasons, | 3:00:00 | 3:00:02 | |
to make a living, working people,
to keep yourself active in the world | 3:00:02 | 3:00:05 | |
if you like, so I think it's a great
time to be 70 actually. | 3:00:05 | 3:00:15 | |
So, some fascinating views,
stories and a real insight I think | 3:00:15 | 3:00:24 | |
into what it feels like to be 70
years old in this day and age, | 3:00:24 | 3:00:27 | |
but there's one thing I've
definitely learned and that is 70 | 3:00:27 | 3:00:30 | |
is the new... | 3:00:30 | 3:00:31 | |
ALL: 40! | 3:00:31 | 3:00:34 | |
They are a happy bunch, but not
everybody is in that boat, thank you | 3:00:35 | 3:00:42 | |
very much joining us, the both of
you, we have talked a little bit | 3:00:42 | 3:00:46 | |
about loneliness, it is a real
problem. Yes, and lots of people are | 3:00:46 | 3:00:51 | |
happy and continue to contribute in
old age but there is a lot of | 3:00:51 | 3:00:56 | |
barriers you can say is, naturally,
what a lot of your friends may die, | 3:00:56 | 3:00:59 | |
your partner may die, you suffer
bereavement, you may also become a | 3:00:59 | 3:01:04 | |
carer, that can cut you off, and you
may suffer things like losing your | 3:01:04 | 3:01:08 | |
site, your hearing, being less
mobile. There is quite a lot of | 3:01:08 | 3:01:13 | |
barriers to continue to take part in
society, sometimes that can mean | 3:01:13 | 3:01:16 | |
people lose confidence and it
becomes easier to say no then to say | 3:01:16 | 3:01:21 | |
yes, to go out and about. But, we
can support people to stay | 3:01:21 | 3:01:26 | |
connected. There are lots of ways to
keep people involved in the | 3:01:26 | 3:01:31 | |
community, learn new skills, and
keep busy. Is that something that | 3:01:31 | 3:01:35 | |
needs to be done individually? With
families? The government? | 3:01:35 | 3:01:41 | |
Communities? It would be best if it
was bottom-up, families, upwards and | 3:01:41 | 3:01:46 | |
outwards, but it is not always
possible to do it that way and some | 3:01:46 | 3:01:50 | |
families are rather negligent about
their older relatives. So, I think | 3:01:50 | 3:01:54 | |
it has got to come from every
direction. And also, it is difficult | 3:01:54 | 3:01:59 | |
to find people who are lonely
because by definition, they are | 3:01:59 | 3:02:02 | |
isolated. Self isolating. So, it is
a big problem, and also, with people | 3:02:02 | 3:02:11 | |
being encouraged to live
independently, and not necessarily | 3:02:11 | 3:02:16 | |
go to sheltered housing or care
homes, loneliness is a sort of built | 3:02:16 | 3:02:22 | |
in threat, if you like, built in
risk, and the other thing is, I feel | 3:02:22 | 3:02:27 | |
very strongly about this, when
people get older, it is a dangerous | 3:02:27 | 3:02:32 | |
strategy to move away from where you
live before. Where you have friends, | 3:02:32 | 3:02:38 | |
you have known people in the local
shops, etc. So, stay rooted. Social | 3:02:38 | 3:02:46 | |
mobility, of course, can be a
positive factor, can be a negative | 3:02:46 | 3:02:49 | |
factor, bridging those ideas about
creating community is what we do | 3:02:49 | 3:02:53 | |
here. Josie, you have had quite the
colourful life! Lets face it, what | 3:02:53 | 3:03:00 | |
did you used to do. I was a trapeze
artist, I worked at a fire | 3:03:00 | 3:03:05 | |
station... We should probably dwell
on that, you were what? A fire | 3:03:05 | 3:03:12 | |
eater! No, not fire station, fire
eater, and I danced with a snake... | 3:03:12 | 3:03:17 | |
Danced on glass... What! LAUGHTER
But you keep yourself busy these | 3:03:17 | 3:03:22 | |
days, snakes...? No, I do hobbies. I
make jewellery. I make jewellery for | 3:03:22 | 3:03:31 | |
other people. And you are wearing it
now. We have had that most of the | 3:03:31 | 3:03:40 | |
morning. They tell me that you are
the busiest person in the village, | 3:03:40 | 3:03:43 | |
what do you do? You have Oscar with
you. I like to keep busy, when you | 3:03:43 | 3:03:49 | |
are older, it is important to be
busy and make sure you are a happy | 3:03:49 | 3:03:52 | |
person. I play bowls, I do line
dancing, I have two allotments... | 3:03:52 | 3:04:02 | |
And I have Oscar. Long-distance
walking. I want to leave the last | 3:04:02 | 3:04:10 | |
word, I hope you will give me just a
little bit more time because I want | 3:04:10 | 3:04:13 | |
to introduce you finally, to Frida.
Very ungentlemanly question, but do | 3:04:13 | 3:04:19 | |
you mind me asking your age? I'm
204! Actually, I am 104. And you | 3:04:19 | 3:04:30 | |
keep yourself busy. Well, I lay in
bed, and everything is done for | 3:04:30 | 3:04:42 | |
me... Get a pile of papers, put them
in bundles of six, all the same | 3:04:42 | 3:04:55 | |
thickness, recycle, I like to
recycle... So much is done for me, I | 3:04:55 | 3:04:58 | |
like to do the recycling. What is
the secret to your longevity and | 3:04:58 | 3:05:03 | |
long life? Stubbornness! LAUGHTER
We have had a wonderful morning | 3:05:03 | 3:05:14 | |
here, busy, eclectic, and life
affirming. Back to you in the | 3:05:14 | 3:05:18 | |
studio. | 3:05:18 | 3:05:19 | |
Thank you so much for taking is rare
to see so many lovely people. 104 | 3:05:23 | 3:05:27 | |
years old! Incredible... 104, we are
eclectic here on breakfast, we have | 3:05:27 | 3:05:34 | |
a 24-year-old coming in next. | 3:05:34 | 3:05:37 | |
Stormzy will be here
when we get back. | 3:05:37 | 3:05:39 | |
First a last, brief look
at the headlines where | 3:05:39 | 3:07:14 | |
We will have showers and sleet and
top temperature of six Celsius. | 3:07:14 | 3:07:14 | |
I hope that you can join us for the
lunchtime news. Goodbye. | 3:07:15 | 3:07:21 | |
Be careful what you eat... Just
before you come in for the | 3:07:28 | 3:07:31 | |
interview... Delighted to say that
Stormzy is with us... Getting peanut | 3:07:31 | 3:07:38 | |
butter in my teeth! Do you have a
ritual of things you do or do not | 3:07:38 | 3:07:42 | |
eat or drink just before? I try not
to have junk food, to close, because | 3:07:42 | 3:07:48 | |
I would run around and jump around
on stage, if I have too much food in | 3:07:48 | 3:07:53 | |
me... I'm not agile enough! A couple
of things I have learned about you | 3:07:53 | 3:07:57 | |
already, today is the first day in
your life you have tasted peanut | 3:07:57 | 3:08:00 | |
butter... Yes! Well... First time in
recent years, I should say. And, as | 3:08:00 | 3:08:07 | |
a rapper, peanut butter, and
wrapping, never go together. | 3:08:07 | 3:08:12 | |
Never... Not a good mix. We have
helped you. Thank you very much! We | 3:08:12 | 3:08:18 | |
will give you a moment to recover,
while we have a look at some of your | 3:08:18 | 3:08:22 | |
biggest hits. | 3:08:22 | 3:08:24 | |
You were not joking about jumping
about! At all! Amazing year for | 3:09:14 | 3:09:18 | |
you... You have had a water... Three
Mobos, GQ solo artist of the year, | 3:09:18 | 3:09:27 | |
Best solo artist from Q... People
are loving you. It has been a good | 3:09:27 | 3:09:35 | |
year, probably the most defining
year of my career... Not to say | 3:09:35 | 3:09:40 | |
that... I mean, I have been here
four years and years, but in the | 3:09:40 | 3:09:47 | |
short time I have been here, so big.
I have finally released an album, as | 3:09:47 | 3:09:53 | |
an artist, that is the backbone,
bodies of work. I finally released | 3:09:53 | 3:09:57 | |
an album. I feel like I have done
all that I can to spread myself and. | 3:09:57 | 3:10:03 | |
My music. I have a vivid memory of
you sitting on this over once | 3:10:03 | 3:10:12 | |
before, at that point in time, there
was a bit of you in your head | 3:10:12 | 3:10:16 | |
saying, what am I doing here... --
sofa. You were on the BBC breakfast | 3:10:16 | 3:10:20 | |
sofa and you know what I'm saying,
how have tried to balance up the | 3:10:20 | 3:10:24 | |
street cred you have, and that is
probably a "naff" phrase in itself, | 3:10:24 | 3:10:32 | |
to branching out to people...
LAUGHTER | 3:10:32 | 3:10:35 | |
With me, I have always just tried to
tell my truth. I have tried to be as | 3:10:35 | 3:10:40 | |
true to myself as possible. I don't
know, somehow that has managed to... | 3:10:40 | 3:10:45 | |
I don't know, I will come on the
show, and I will still be able to do | 3:10:45 | 3:10:51 | |
other things, still freestyle... I
have always said, as long as I live | 3:10:51 | 3:10:56 | |
in my own truth, I will be all
right. What about your... Fans who | 3:10:56 | 3:11:00 | |
have followed youth for years, who
say that you are now too mainstream, | 3:11:00 | 3:11:06 | |
you have left us, because there is
that criticism. Do you know what, | 3:11:06 | 3:11:13 | |
with me, I am an artist, even with
my album, when you listen to it, you | 3:11:13 | 3:11:17 | |
can tell that I may have taken a bit
of a risk in terms of sounds, and | 3:11:17 | 3:11:24 | |
some of the music on the album,
because it is not 100% pure grime. | 3:11:24 | 3:11:31 | |
There is loads of other flavours
there as well. | 3:11:31 | 3:11:43 | |
I never pretend to be an expert in
your music but that feels like it is | 3:12:01 | 3:12:05 | |
quite different. Very different, and
you know what it is, I am someone, | 3:12:05 | 3:12:11 | |
before I started making music, I
grew up on grime, older UK MCs, and | 3:12:11 | 3:12:24 | |
also R'n'B and gospel, and a whole
load of different things, when I was | 3:12:24 | 3:12:29 | |
coming into music, there was a whole
side of me that I was not shopping | 3:12:29 | 3:12:35 | |
my tools... I was not using that
muscle... When I made my album, I | 3:12:35 | 3:12:39 | |
said, this is the perfect chance for
me to be as true to myself as an | 3:12:39 | 3:12:45 | |
artist as possible. I will make a
whole track about me being the best | 3:12:45 | 3:12:49 | |
MC, I am this and I am back, but
also, I should have the confidence | 3:12:49 | 3:12:53 | |
and the creative licence to also
make a track about my faith in God, | 3:12:53 | 3:12:57 | |
and my mother... Christmas, Hugh
Jackman was telling us about | 3:12:57 | 3:13:02 | |
Christmas at home with the family,
what about you... It is my mother, | 3:13:02 | 3:13:08 | |
she is the life of the party on
Christmas Day! I have quite a small | 3:13:08 | 3:13:13 | |
close family, me, my sister, my
sister, my little brother. What | 3:13:13 | 3:13:19 | |
about presence? Christmas Eve! That
is my day to hit the road and try to | 3:13:19 | 3:13:26 | |
get presents! -- presents. Thank you
the joining of. Your new single, we | 3:13:26 | 3:13:34 | |
just saw a bit of that, Blinded by
Your Grace, Pt. Two. We will say | 3:13:34 | 3:13:39 | |
goodbye in a moment. Will you say
goodbye for us? Hand over. What is | 3:13:39 | 3:13:45 | |
the next programme? Now it is time
for... This is a bit... People will | 3:13:45 | 3:13:51 | |
be so confused when they tune in to
BBC breakfast and they see my big | 3:13:51 | 3:13:55 | |
face about | 3:13:55 | 3:13:55 |
