0:00:10 > 0:00:11on San Francisco.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15A former US marine has been arrested charged with planning a suicide

0:00:15 > 0:00:17mission at Pier 39, one of the city's most

0:00:17 > 0:00:22famous tourist attractions.

0:00:36 > 0:00:37Good morning.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39It's Saturday 23rd December.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Also this morning:

0:00:46 > 0:00:49to death at the supermarket where she worked.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52China and Russia join the United States in approving fresh

0:00:52 > 0:00:57UN sanctions on North Korea.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00In sport, there's a festive feast at the Emirates.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Three goals in five minutes for Arsenal, but it's not enough

0:01:03 > 0:01:07as Liverpool strike back to earn a draw in a cracker to kick off

0:01:07 > 0:01:07the Christmas fixtures.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10One of the world's rarest pigs, caught on camera.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Scientists thought the Javan Warty had been driven to extinction.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16We'll hear how it's now been rediscovered.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20And Matt has the weather.

0:01:20 > 0:01:27Morning. Good morning, and other incredibly mild state across the UK,

0:01:27 > 0:01:31fairly greater most of you but some cold air is getting closer. Will it

0:01:31 > 0:01:35arrive in time to Christmas Day? Your full forecast is coming up.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36Thank you, match.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Good morning.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41First our main story - A former US marine has been arrested

0:01:41 > 0:01:44on suspicion of planning a terror attack in San Francisco over

0:01:44 > 0:01:44Christmas.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Everitt Aaron Jameson, 25, was held after allegedly discussing

0:01:47 > 0:01:48the plot with undercover FBI agents.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Our North America correspondent Peter Boews reports.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55-- Bowes.

0:01:55 > 0:02:01One of San Francisco's most popular tourist attractions, care 39, packed

0:02:01 > 0:02:06with shops and restaurants. The FBI says Everitt Aaron Jameson plans to

0:02:06 > 0:02:10attack the area on Christmas Day. Using explosives, he wanted to

0:02:10 > 0:02:13funnel the crowd into a location where he could inflict casualties.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18The alleged plot came to light after someone reported him for suspicious

0:02:18 > 0:02:23activity on Facebook. He liked post sympathetic with the so-called

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Islamic State group and he voiced support for the Halloween attack in

0:02:26 > 0:02:30New York City when the lorry was driven on to a crowded bike path,

0:02:30 > 0:02:35killing eight people. And a mass shooting in San Bernardino in 2015.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39His home was raided on Wednesday, investigators found several weapons

0:02:39 > 0:02:43and ammunition and they will. Agents believe the attack was to be a

0:02:43 > 0:02:47suicide mission. There was a note that referred to Donald Trump's

0:02:47 > 0:02:50recent announcement that the US would recognise Jerusalem as the

0:02:50 > 0:02:56capital of Israel.It is really unbelievable, it is hard to fathom

0:02:56 > 0:03:01right now. I really don't know what to say. How to feel, really. It is

0:03:01 > 0:03:06shocking, you know?It is my son. In a statement the US Attorney General

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Jeff Sessions said:

0:03:14 > 0:03:19the FBI says the public and comfort the scope whenever -- public in San

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Francisco were never in danger.This time the FBI got their man but the

0:03:24 > 0:03:28concern is how many could there be out there that are not on the FBI's

0:03:28 > 0:03:34all local law enforcement's radar? If that is what keeps us up at

0:03:34 > 0:03:37night. The former Marine has appeared in court, through his

0:03:37 > 0:03:41lawyer he denied the allegations. If convicted he faces a fine and a

0:03:41 > 0:03:46maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50A man is due in court this morning charged with murdering a woman

0:03:50 > 0:03:52as she worked in a supermarket.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Neville Hord, who is 44, will appear before York Magistrates

0:03:54 > 0:03:56over the death of Jodie Willsher in Skipton.

0:03:56 > 0:04:04Our North of England correspondent Judith Moritz reports.

0:04:04 > 0:04:10Malcolm and Jodie looking forward to a family Christmas. Now he is left

0:04:10 > 0:04:13grieving, paying tribute to her as a doting mother and loving wife. Jodie

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Willsher was getting ready for the holidays are wearing her festive

0:04:17 > 0:04:22jumper while serving supermarket shoppers. She had worked at the

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Skipton Aldi since it opened two years ago. The store was full when

0:04:25 > 0:04:30she was stabbed. Trolleys were abandoned as fearful shoppers

0:04:30 > 0:04:33scattered while several staff and customers rushed to help. There was

0:04:33 > 0:04:39chaos inside the shop as people realised what had happened. And as

0:04:39 > 0:04:44Jodie Blade dying, the first person to intervene was a man in his 60s

0:04:44 > 0:04:48who grappled with the attacker for a long time as he tried to restrain

0:04:48 > 0:04:55him. Despite efforts to save her, she died on the shop floor. The

0:04:55 > 0:04:59supermarket became a crime scene. Forensics staff and police officers

0:04:59 > 0:05:04taking evidence away. The shop was closed with customers coming instead

0:05:04 > 0:05:08to leave tributes for the popular member of staff.Whenever I shopped

0:05:08 > 0:05:13in all the she has always been friendly, pleasant, you know, a

0:05:13 > 0:05:17lovely, lovely girl, and it is just what a shock. You know, in absolute

0:05:17 > 0:05:24shock.The community here is small and tight. Jodie Willsher worked at

0:05:24 > 0:05:28its heart, well-known and well liked. A 44-year-old man has been

0:05:28 > 0:05:29charged with her murder.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32The United Nations Security Council has passed severe new sanctions

0:05:32 > 0:05:34against North Korea, aimed at cutting oil supplies vital

0:05:34 > 0:05:41for Pyongyang's missile and nuclear programs.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45The sanctions proposed by the US also forced North Korea residents

0:05:45 > 0:05:48working overseas to return home.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50This is the 10th Security Council resolution imposing sanctions

0:05:50 > 0:05:52on North Korea.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55None before it has convinced Kim Jong-un to abandon his nuclear

0:05:55 > 0:05:58programme, but diplomats hope this resolution will bite hard enough

0:05:58 > 0:06:05to change the regime's calculus - or at the very least,

0:06:05 > 0:06:07-- restrict its ability to carry out additional nuclear

0:06:07 > 0:06:08and missile tests.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11President Trump specifically asked President Xi of China to cut oil

0:06:11 > 0:06:18to Pyongyang, believing it would be a pivotal step.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Mr Trump celebrated the adoption of new sanctions, tweeting

0:06:21 > 0:06:22"The world wants peace, not death".

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Today's resolution achieves an 89% total reduction of the Kim regime's

0:06:26 > 0:06:31ability to import gasoline, diesel and other refined products,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34and should the North Korean regime conduct another nuclear or ballistic

0:06:34 > 0:06:37missile test, this resolution commits the Security Council to take

0:06:37 > 0:06:46even further action.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49The resolution also requires countries to expel North Koreans

0:06:49 > 0:06:52working abroad within 24 months in an effort to cut off an important

0:06:52 > 0:06:54source of revenue.

0:06:54 > 0:06:5615 North Korean officials in the ministry which manages

0:06:56 > 0:07:02logistics for the army will now be added to the UN blacklist.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Nada Tawfik reporting from New York.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07The Government is starting a 12-week consultation on which key A roads

0:07:07 > 0:07:12in England will benefit from new funding.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13As our business correspondent Jonty Bloom reports,

0:07:13 > 0:07:21the roads will be eligible for money under the New Roads Fund.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Many A roads around the country are maintained by local councils, even

0:07:25 > 0:07:29when they are important parts of the nation's infrastructure. But the

0:07:29 > 0:07:32government is aiming to change that by providing money for improvements

0:07:32 > 0:07:37in the new central fund. That will be paid for with money raised from

0:07:37 > 0:07:43vehicle excise duty, improved thousands of miles of A roads and

0:07:43 > 0:07:48provide up to £100 million to each major new scheme. Such as road

0:07:48 > 0:07:54junctions, dual carriageway.And safety. This is typically all about

0:07:54 > 0:07:58bypasses for small towns where they have a road coming through with

0:07:58 > 0:08:01heavy lorries and gets congested with lots of pollution, everyone

0:08:01 > 0:08:05says there needs to be a bypass, this is about making sure they can

0:08:05 > 0:08:08be delivered. It is important for regional connections and new housing

0:08:08 > 0:08:12but important to make life better for the people who live on the

0:08:12 > 0:08:15roads.The plan is both riding central government money Central

0:08:15 > 0:08:18regions of England will be able to remove bottlenecks and boost

0:08:18 > 0:08:21economic growth. Critics say the money would be better spent

0:08:21 > 0:08:31maintaining the current road network and improving public transport.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34A tropical storm in the Philippines has triggered mudslides and flooding

0:08:34 > 0:08:36that has killed almost 90 people, while dozens more are missing,

0:08:36 > 0:08:37according to police.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40The casualties were all on the main southern island of Mindanao.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Power and communication lines to the area have been cut,

0:08:43 > 0:08:47complicating rescue efforts.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Scientists from Chester Zoo have captured the first ever footage

0:08:49 > 0:08:52of one of the world's rarest pigs in the wild.

0:08:52 > 0:08:57Conservationists thought the Javan Warty Pig might have

0:08:57 > 0:08:59already been driven to extinction.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01However, hidden cameras have revealed that small populations

0:09:01 > 0:09:04of the animals still survive deep in the Indonesian rainforest,

0:09:04 > 0:09:12as our science correspondent Victoria Gill found out.

0:09:12 > 0:09:19The Javan Warty pig, described by some as the world's ugliest pig. The

0:09:19 > 0:09:23last surveys of the remaining catches of their habitat showed such

0:09:23 > 0:09:26dramatic declines in these animals the research is thought the species

0:09:26 > 0:09:33may now be extinct.This is a really good place, I think.But from that

0:09:33 > 0:09:38-- when his motion activated cameras in the forest go into a pleasant

0:09:38 > 0:09:41surprise.We had no idea if they were left. We were looking through

0:09:41 > 0:09:49the video we saw some forest something, and then we had the pigs.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53This is the first footage of the captured of Javan Warty pig in the

0:09:53 > 0:10:00wild.It was really fantastic and really good footage, like, the

0:10:00 > 0:10:08photos showed and it was really good.This small wildlife Centre in

0:10:08 > 0:10:12west Java has just a few of the animals in captive breeding

0:10:12 > 0:10:16programs. They are incredibly shy which is why they are so hard to

0:10:16 > 0:10:20find but this captive population that has been bred here as an

0:10:20 > 0:10:23emergency population could be used to repopulate the wild if something

0:10:23 > 0:10:27goes wrong.At this point we are happy that they are still there so

0:10:27 > 0:10:31there is still hope that if we can design some effective conservation

0:10:31 > 0:10:35projects then maybe we can keep them.But much of the forest

0:10:35 > 0:10:38wildlife he habitat is disappearing rapidly. So while this particular

0:10:38 > 0:10:43creatures might not be the most photogenic residents, scientists

0:10:43 > 0:10:47hope that rediscovering them may help in the fight to protect their

0:10:47 > 0:10:58home. More on those later. They look like wild boar. Sort of!

0:10:58 > 0:11:03He's performed with Lulu, Victoria Pendleton, and Anastacia.

0:11:03 > 0:11:04What, the pigs? No!

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Now, Brendan Cole can add The Duchess of Cornwall to his list

0:11:07 > 0:11:08of dance partners.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11The Duchess also welcomed judge Craig Revel-Horwood and former

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Strictly contestants Judy Murray, Robbie Savage, and Colin Jackson

0:11:13 > 0:11:15to Buckingham Palace as they filmed a section

0:11:15 > 0:11:17of the The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Brendan later said that Camilla definitely "knew her way around

0:11:20 > 0:11:21the dancefloor".

0:11:21 > 0:11:23The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special is on Christmas Day

0:11:23 > 0:11:29at 6:30pm on BBC1.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33It is quite something go into Buckingham Palace. 6:11 AM on

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Saturday, let's look at the papers. They are pretty varied this morning,

0:11:37 > 0:11:42I think some of the papers are struggling to find news before

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Christmas. The Telegraph, the picture there of Boris Johnson in

0:11:45 > 0:11:49red Square after his visit to the Kremlin yesterday, the top story is

0:11:49 > 0:11:54a claim from some business leaders who backed the Brexit campaign and

0:11:54 > 0:11:59funded the campaign that HM RC is now taking its revenge by trying to

0:11:59 > 0:12:05get out of them. The front page of the song, national outrage. Fudge

0:12:05 > 0:12:11has been axed by a Christmas gift box. Cadbury's owners lasted to

0:12:11 > 0:12:16secretly dropping the traditional Fudge bar from, I should say it is

0:12:16 > 0:12:20the medium-sized selection box. If that what it has been replaced with?

0:12:20 > 0:12:27And Oreo. No! Yes! The dairy milk Oreo. It is a biscuit, that is not a

0:12:27 > 0:12:32chocolate! Christmas ruined, according to the sun. The Times, and

0:12:32 > 0:12:37other piece of Boris Johnson, will talk about this little later, what

0:12:37 > 0:12:42they are calling a rude revolution, we will hear about plans may be

0:12:42 > 0:12:46trying to increase the upgrade some A roads in Britain but part of the

0:12:46 > 0:12:53plan, the government is set to consider paying per mile, charging

0:12:53 > 0:12:56us per mile, for our driving. Can are you these pictures because they

0:12:56 > 0:13:02are cute. It isn't the front page but look at that. Give us a couple.

0:13:02 > 0:13:08I bet they do. They took those in June and they kept them until

0:13:08 > 0:13:14Christmas. Now the front page of the mail, make them in Britain! Burgundy

0:13:14 > 0:13:19is being replaced, EU burgundy, by British blue. Now there are calls to

0:13:19 > 0:13:23the UK passports to be made here. Apparently tendering laws mean a new

0:13:23 > 0:13:28passport could end up designed in Germany or France, one of the

0:13:28 > 0:13:32company is going for it though is British. I see you pull the bears

0:13:32 > 0:13:43and I raise you got back jingle balls! It is B-A-W-L-S, children

0:13:43 > 0:13:49screaming while meeting Christmas. Children are miserable. Oh well.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Maybe that is because they checked their selection boxes and founder

0:13:53 > 0:13:58and Oreo instead of Fudge. Matt, you miserable today? I am never

0:13:58 > 0:14:05miserable! I have also brought you a festive backdrop as well! To try and

0:14:05 > 0:14:09put, well, it is a disappointing weather story for this time of the

0:14:09 > 0:14:13year, not quite festive, the run-up to Christmas, it was meant to stay

0:14:13 > 0:14:17mild and cloudy and windy at times with some rain in north. Things

0:14:17 > 0:14:22could be about to turn a bit colder on Christmas Day. What is happening

0:14:22 > 0:14:27outside at the moment, yes, only a few days away and six AM it is 13

0:14:27 > 0:14:31degrees in parts of Aberdeenshire. Five Celsius in and around the Vale

0:14:31 > 0:14:35of York but there are some cloud breaks, light winds to start the

0:14:35 > 0:14:39day, some sunshine there. Sometimes run across eastern Scotland, which

0:14:39 > 0:14:43is in Shetland, with places dry, misty over the hills and England and

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Wales have some hill fog if you are travelling to the pre-Christmas

0:14:47 > 0:14:51Christmas run-up but elsewhere it isn't a bad day by and large if you

0:14:51 > 0:14:56are on the move, most places will be dry, fairly grey, some fog in and

0:14:56 > 0:14:59around the Channel Islands, misty over the moors of south-west England

0:14:59 > 0:15:03and Wales but is of Wales and anywhere from Cheshire down towards

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Gloucs, some sunshine breaking through the cloud. Temperatures 12

0:15:07 > 0:15:12or 13 degrees. To the east are high ground in northern England, Ireland,

0:15:12 > 0:15:16some brighter skies and south-east, Tony Gaby the north later,

0:15:16 > 0:15:20conditions moving into the Highlands and Islands through the afternoon at

0:15:20 > 0:15:27Scotland, dry, it could get to 15 degrees around the Murray first.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Scotland, dry, it could get to 15 degrees around the Murray first. The

0:15:28 > 0:15:31reigning Western Scotland inches towards Northern Ireland. Maybe

0:15:31 > 0:15:36northern England tonight. A wet end to the night for many parts of

0:15:36 > 0:15:40northern and western Scotland, but notice temperatures again to take us

0:15:40 > 0:15:46into Christmas Eve. We shouldn't be seen values like this by day, never

0:15:46 > 0:15:51mind by night. A weather front is wriggling around across Scotland and

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Northern Ireland as we go through Christmas Eve. Here we are likely to

0:15:55 > 0:16:00have wet weather if you are on the move. Windy at times in the north,

0:16:00 > 0:16:04but always dry for England and Wales and with more of a breeze tomorrow

0:16:04 > 0:16:08we have the cloud breaking up. Sunshine the east of high ground. A

0:16:08 > 0:16:11few spots of rain on the Welsh hills. Again another mild state

0:16:11 > 0:16:17Christmas Eve. Cabbages in double figures quite widely. A couple of

0:16:17 > 0:16:24spots getting up to 13- 14 Celsius. What of the big day? Rain still

0:16:24 > 0:16:27there in southern Scotland, initially south-eastern Island.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Turns wet in the north of England and into Wales through Christmas

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Day, but cold air pushes into Scotland and Northern Ireland later.

0:16:33 > 0:16:38By the skies and a couple of wintry flurries. Take care across high

0:16:38 > 0:16:42ground of Scotland. That's just about it. In the Boxing Day and the

0:16:42 > 0:16:47middle part of next week, more wet weather spreads across the country,

0:16:47 > 0:16:51but at least it will be a little bit cooler at times, which may just

0:16:51 > 0:16:51but at least it will be a little bit cooler at times, which may just add

0:16:51 > 0:16:56to the Christmas feel. Thank you! Not so keen on rain on

0:16:56 > 0:17:01Christmas Day! It to be rubbish, isn't it? At least

0:17:01 > 0:17:05mild is better than freezing.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07A "national crisis", that's how a committee of MPs

0:17:07 > 0:17:11described the growing problem of homlessness earlier this week.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Official figures estimate there are over 4,000 rough sleepers

0:17:13 > 0:17:16across the UK.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18But the homeless charity Crisis estimates it's double that.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21With rising numbers in cities like Birmingham, Manchester

0:17:21 > 0:17:24and Brighton, the problem remains worst in London

0:17:24 > 0:17:32and Breakfast's John Maguire is there for us this morning.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36What more can you tell us about where you will?This is a crisis

0:17:36 > 0:17:40centre that will be open throughout the Christmas period when people

0:17:40 > 0:17:44come in. They will be met by volunteers. Good morning. They are

0:17:44 > 0:17:49registered and given a wristband with a number on it and that enables

0:17:49 > 0:17:53them to access a lot of the services here. I'll just show you some of the

0:17:53 > 0:17:58things happening in this location. There are beds up there's and also

0:17:58 > 0:18:03access to the intranet, barbers, legal advice, housing advice and

0:18:03 > 0:18:10crucially medical advice. There will be a dentist, an optician and TV

0:18:10 > 0:18:15screening -- TB screening for tuberculosis, important for people

0:18:15 > 0:18:19sleeping in the cold and damp conditions. There's a cafe and of

0:18:19 > 0:18:26the people here, good morning, are the volunteers. There are many

0:18:26 > 0:18:30volunteers here to help people of the next couple of days. Lots to it.

0:18:30 > 0:18:36Go into sport to John from Crisis. Good morning to the both of you.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40John, with in talking about this research. We hear a lot about rough

0:18:40 > 0:18:45sleeping and people sometimes discuss how figures are compiled,

0:18:45 > 0:18:49but you have researched this morning that shows the problem of rough

0:18:49 > 0:18:54sleepers, hidden rough sleepers, is more acute than we previously

0:18:54 > 0:18:58thought? That's right. We'll wanted to do research that pins down what

0:18:58 > 0:19:02the numbers really our and on top of more than 9000 people rough sleeping

0:19:02 > 0:19:06with got another 9000 who are kind of hidden rough sleepers, sleeping

0:19:06 > 0:19:11in tents and cars and buses, and perhaps we haven't focused on these

0:19:11 > 0:19:15people before. What's most wore it is we think this number will grow in

0:19:15 > 0:19:18the next ten years if we don't change our approach.Why do you

0:19:18 > 0:19:23think it will grow? The government says it is investing a lot of money

0:19:23 > 0:19:28into it.We know why it's growing, lack of social housing, lack of

0:19:28 > 0:19:33access and affordability of housing in the private sector, welfare

0:19:33 > 0:19:36system not supporting people to get on with their lives and get

0:19:36 > 0:19:42somewhere to live and get a job. And the fact that the homelessness act

0:19:42 > 0:19:46hasn't yet been implemented.So we know why it's happening. Tell us a

0:19:46 > 0:19:51little bit about your experiences of recent years. You found yourself

0:19:51 > 0:19:57rough sleeping, essentially?I did, essentially. I guess I would be part

0:19:57 > 0:20:00of the hidden homelessness issue you are referring to. I was sleeping on

0:20:00 > 0:20:06a train for five years from charring cross out into Kent. The train would

0:20:06 > 0:20:11go up and down and I would sleep on the train. One of the problems that

0:20:11 > 0:20:17came from that is that outreach teams couldn't reach because I was

0:20:17 > 0:20:21sleeping during the day and predominantly outreach teams go to

0:20:21 > 0:20:29find people who are sleeping out at night.How did you get yourself out

0:20:29 > 0:20:34of that situation?A lot of that was to do with Crisis. They take a

0:20:34 > 0:20:42multifaceted approach and look at housing, support, food. And I think

0:20:42 > 0:20:47that was the start of something that enabled me to think the warmth,

0:20:47 > 0:20:51shelter and food that Crisis provided enabled me to have a bit of

0:20:51 > 0:20:54a space to reflect my life lightly differently had actually start to

0:20:54 > 0:20:57connect with organisations that weren't making referrals for me

0:20:57 > 0:21:04because I was living homeless during the day.Thank you both. We will

0:21:04 > 0:21:09talk more to you later. The government has said tackling

0:21:09 > 0:21:12homelessness is a conflict issue with no single solution. It is

0:21:12 > 0:21:17committed to halving rough sleeping by 2022, eliminating it by 2027,

0:21:17 > 0:21:22spending £1 billion up to 2020 and introducing the homelessness act

0:21:22 > 0:21:25that was mentioned a few moments ago. From us, in central London,

0:21:25 > 0:21:31back to you. Thank you. More from John throughout the programme. Lots

0:21:31 > 0:21:37of sports to come in the days ahead. It all got off to a rather exciting

0:21:37 > 0:21:41start! What a start.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45For Arsenal fans it wasn't even like the nightmare before Christmas!

0:21:45 > 0:21:50Fifth against four, very close in the league, but then it all sparked

0:21:50 > 0:21:57into fighting back and it ended 3-3. More to come, hopefully.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59It was the first time Arsenal had played Liverpool

0:21:59 > 0:22:02on a Friday night since the since the title decider,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04back in 1989.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08And although the stakes weren't as high, it was just as dramatic,

0:22:08 > 0:22:09as Drew Savage reports.

0:22:09 > 0:22:14Much had been made of the history of this Friday night fixture. The only

0:22:14 > 0:22:18thing up for grabs tonight, fourth place in the Premier league. But

0:22:18 > 0:22:20these days that fourth Champions League spot is the all-important.

0:22:20 > 0:22:26Philip the team you was determined to grab it. Arsenal were booed off

0:22:26 > 0:22:31at half-time and Jurgen Klopp's site should have had more. Two up in the

0:22:31 > 0:22:39second half. And the atmosphere at the Emirates changed. First Alexis

0:22:39 > 0:22:45Sanchez rose to the occasion. No celebrations at this stage. Arsenal

0:22:45 > 0:22:53were all business. Less than three minutes later, this. Liverpool keep

0:22:53 > 0:22:59--'s keeper embarrassed. Now Arsenal celebrated. For the home fans it was

0:22:59 > 0:23:06to get better, in less than five. Great entertainment for the mutuals

0:23:06 > 0:23:10but both teams will be frustrated by the mistakes they made. The exposed

0:23:10 > 0:23:17Petr Chech couldn't keep up. Regrets on both sides. A 3-3 draw was not a

0:23:17 > 0:23:22help to either manager's European hopes, but it will be a Friday night

0:23:22 > 0:23:25to remember for all concerned.

0:23:25 > 0:23:34Overall, we didn't give up and the spirit in the team is absolutely

0:23:34 > 0:23:39fantastic. Down that front I'm quite proud of the players, who responded

0:23:39 > 0:23:43and showed the strong mentality.

0:23:43 > 0:23:49Usually if we get a point that's an OK result. For most teams in the

0:23:49 > 0:23:53world is pretty unlikely to get it and we deserved more, we had only

0:23:53 > 0:24:01one. But that's how it is. Yeah, it feels not too good at the moment.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Graeme Murty says he wants to make himself irreplaceable at Rangers,

0:24:04 > 0:24:08after being given the job of manager until the end of the season.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11They've won six games in nine since he took temporary charge two

0:24:11 > 0:24:19months ago, when Pedro Caixinha was sacked.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Murty said: "If I'm good at it and stand out hopefully I can get

0:24:22 > 0:24:24to do it for longer".

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Rangers are away to Kilmarnock today and the big one

0:24:26 > 0:24:28is between the top two.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Celtic are five points clear at the top and take on Aberdeen.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34And the visitors are confident they can

0:24:34 > 0:24:37like Hearts did last week also cause an upset.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41There are couple of players that can do that. We have a squad we will

0:24:41 > 0:24:45call upon and we will make sure we give our best chance to win the

0:24:45 > 0:24:49game. We've done a lot of work and we will make sure we use that

0:24:49 > 0:24:53confidence that the boys have got from the last two performances and

0:24:53 > 0:24:56go into the game to get the win.

0:24:56 > 0:25:05It was a record-breaking Brae in the cricket -- day.He made it in just

0:25:05 > 0:25:1235 balls against Sri Lanka. The same feat as David Miller. A record high

0:25:12 > 0:25:18Twenty20 school for India as well.

0:25:18 > 0:25:27Michael van Gerwen is in fine form in the dark. If Wilson was hoping

0:25:27 > 0:25:31that Mike would crumble he would be disappointed, as Michael van Gerwen

0:25:31 > 0:25:35won it 4-0.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Sixteen-times champion Phil 'the Power' Taylor plays tonight.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40This is his last championship before he retires.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42And so to look back on his record-breaking career,

0:25:42 > 0:25:46he joined me here in Salford with a few of his celebrity friends

0:25:46 > 0:25:52and fans for a bit of festive fun on the ochey.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57As he prepared for his last shot at the world title, Phil Taylor came to

0:25:57 > 0:26:02our studios in Salford fulsome practice, with some of his famous

0:26:02 > 0:26:07friends and fans. Like Robbie Williams' dad, used to the

0:26:07 > 0:26:11limelight, often appearing on stage with his rockstar on.I'm walking

0:26:11 > 0:26:17along, singing a song, walking in a Winter Wonderland...He was the

0:26:17 > 0:26:21first to accept the three darts challenge. Just as he was about to

0:26:21 > 0:26:25sing because he was winning, Phil showed us why he has won 16 titles.

0:26:25 > 0:26:36Yeah!I'm at big dart fans. One of the best men in the world is my

0:26:36 > 0:26:40mate, you can't get better than that.How did you win?We come from

0:26:40 > 0:26:47the same place.For me personally it was dedication, dedication. I didn't

0:26:47 > 0:26:50spend Friday night clubbing, I stayed in, didn't go anywhere, I led

0:26:50 > 0:26:53a very boring life, and it paid off.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01After giving up his job in a pottery industry and winning a first world

0:27:01 > 0:27:05title in 1990, he went on to become so well known he was even given a

0:27:05 > 0:27:13role on Coronation Street as Disco Dave. Not that his influence rubbed

0:27:13 > 0:27:29off too much. 34. I'm going!17! What was it, 16? I remember you

0:27:29 > 0:27:34telling the story. Some of his trophies are these big!Like the one

0:27:34 > 0:27:39from America which Phil decided to leave behind.I've looked at the

0:27:39 > 0:27:42bushes outside and thought, that will do. Go into the bushes, put the

0:27:42 > 0:27:50trophy inside a bush.You never saw it again?No, I don't want to.He

0:27:50 > 0:27:56was inspiring all ages, from the pride of Britain award winners to

0:27:56 > 0:28:03regular for's Sam Fenech, but not even when I is summed up the power

0:28:03 > 0:28:08of four paws could we beat the greatest of all time. Are you

0:28:08 > 0:28:12retiring from the diets?What are you going to do? I'm going to be a

0:28:12 > 0:28:24professional dog water! -- walker! You've got no chance! No chance!

0:28:24 > 0:28:29It's great because what they do is they run up and they chuck an arrow

0:28:29 > 0:28:33at around thing and it goes on and beat the example you and they chuck

0:28:33 > 0:28:37another arrow at around thing and they drink more beer.If still

0:28:37 > 0:28:40doesn't look impressive is because the sport has changed completely

0:28:40 > 0:28:45now, too much for his liking.It's all changed now. We would all be

0:28:45 > 0:28:50friends and have a drink together and socialise with each other. Now

0:28:50 > 0:28:55it's like walking into a doctor's surgery and they are all serious, so

0:28:55 > 0:29:00I'm really looking forward. There won't be any tears, not at all. No,

0:29:00 > 0:29:04I can't wait, to be honest. 30 years is a long time!

0:29:04 > 0:29:10I love that photo. It was when he won his first title and ended as an

0:29:10 > 0:29:16outsider. It was in 1980. That such a shame. It won't be the

0:29:16 > 0:29:22same without him in diets. -- darts.

0:29:22 > 0:29:28He says the professionals put a lot of pressure on now. It's not the

0:29:28 > 0:29:31same. I think he will come back. He will

0:29:31 > 0:29:35be on to talking about his career, but I think he will be back

0:29:35 > 0:29:39professionally. -- on tour. You will be back, would you?

0:29:39 > 0:29:44I hope so! The headlines coming up.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Hello this is Breakfast, with Tina Daheley and Jon Kay.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31Good morning.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38A former US marine has been arrested by the FBI on suspicion of planning

0:30:38 > 0:30:43a terror attack in San Francisco on Christmas Day.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Everitt Aaron Jameson was allegedly planning to target the city's Pier

0:30:46 > 0:30:5139 area, which is popular with tourists.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55The FBI says he had written a letter claiming the attack and making

0:30:55 > 0:30:57reference to President Trump's recent decision to designate

0:30:57 > 0:31:02Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04A man is due in court this morning charged with murdering

0:31:04 > 0:31:07a mother of one as she worked in a supermarket.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Neville Hord, who is 44, is accused of stabbing 30-year-old

0:31:10 > 0:31:13Jodie Willsher to death at an Aldi store in Skipton,

0:31:13 > 0:31:14North Yorkshire, on Thursday.

0:31:14 > 0:31:19He'll appear before York Magistrates today.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22The United Nations Security Council has passed tough new sanctions

0:31:22 > 0:31:25against North Korea aimed at cutting oil supplies vital for its missile

0:31:25 > 0:31:27and nuclear programs.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29China and Russia voted in favour of the resolution proposed

0:31:29 > 0:31:33by the United States' delegation.

0:31:33 > 0:31:362017 has seen North Korea conduct a series of ballistic missile

0:31:36 > 0:31:46launches and enter into a war of words with President Trump.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50Today is the 10th time, this council stand united against the North

0:31:50 > 0:31:56Korean regime that rejects the pursuit of peace. The Kim regime

0:31:56 > 0:32:01continues to defy the resolutions of this council, the norms of civilised

0:32:01 > 0:32:04behaviour, and the patience of the international community. There are

0:32:04 > 0:32:10arrogant and hostility to anything productive has set a country on a

0:32:10 > 0:32:12destructive path.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16The chimes of Big Ben will ring out over London again from nine o'clock

0:32:16 > 0:32:17this morning until New Year's Day.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20The bongs were silenced this summer while restoration work takes place

0:32:20 > 0:32:22on Parliament's Elizabeth Tower.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25The repairs on the 157-year-old clock aren't due to be completed

0:32:25 > 0:32:32until 2021.

0:32:32 > 0:32:37If you have missed them, we will take those live at 9am on breakfast

0:32:37 > 0:32:41so staging further. -- stay tuned for that.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44For a city so used to producing films about alien invasions,

0:32:44 > 0:32:47it's maybe not surprising that when people in Los Angeles saw

0:32:47 > 0:32:50a mysterious light in the sky last night, talk swiftly turned

0:32:50 > 0:32:51to visitors from another world.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Thousands of people living in California posted photos

0:32:53 > 0:32:56and videos online of this strange white light that appeared overhead.

0:32:56 > 0:33:01But, look at it! It looks like a UFO!

0:33:01 > 0:33:04However, disappointingly for sci-fi fans, the UFO was swiftly claimed

0:33:04 > 0:33:07by SpaceX as one of their Falcon 9 rockets that had taken off

0:33:07 > 0:33:17from Vandenberg Air Force Base, 150 miles north of LA.

0:33:17 > 0:33:25It is that sort of explosion... Metal.

0:33:25 > 0:33:30The jets or whatever it is coming out the back. 6:33 AM, the headlines

0:33:30 > 0:33:38for you at seven AM but we will read, take stock, it was -- because

0:33:38 > 0:33:422017 has been a pretty eventful year in the world of politics.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44That could be the understatement of the decade!

0:33:44 > 0:33:46And as we move towards Brexit, obviously,

0:33:46 > 0:33:48things are showing no signs of letting up.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Here's Ellie Price to take a look back at a momentous 12 months

0:33:51 > 0:33:52in Westminster and beyond.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55hold onto your hats!

0:33:59 > 0:34:01The headlines this morning, Theresa May's decision to call

0:34:01 > 0:34:03the general election...

0:34:03 > 0:34:05It was with reluctance, I decided the country needs...

0:34:05 > 0:34:08The Prime Minister spelt out her strategic goals.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10History has been made.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13Article 50 of been triggered.

0:34:13 > 0:34:29Brexit negotiations in a shambles.

0:34:29 > 0:34:342017 was shaped by what happened when a pretty influential person

0:34:34 > 0:34:37went for a nice long walk in the countryside and has a little

0:34:37 > 0:34:40think about things.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44That was, of course, Theresa May, who went on a hike with her husband

0:34:44 > 0:34:48in April and came back thinking it would be a jolly good idea to call

0:34:48 > 0:34:52a general election.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56The decision made on that little stroll defined the year.

0:34:56 > 0:35:01But plenty happened in the months running up to it.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04The 2017 journey started, as we all expected, with Brexit.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08Are we going to get a detailed plan, Prime Minister?

0:35:08 > 0:35:11Only a few days shy of the EU referendum's six-month anniversary,

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Theresa May made a speech at Lancaster House.

0:35:13 > 0:35:19It became known as the Lancaster House Speech.

0:35:19 > 0:35:25Setting out a blueprint of her main objectives for Brexit negotiations.

0:35:25 > 0:35:29As a priority, we will pursue a bold and ambitious free trade agreement

0:35:29 > 0:35:30with the European Union.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33The days of Britain making vast contributions to the European Union

0:35:33 > 0:35:34every year will end.

0:35:34 > 0:35:40No deal for Britain is better than a bad deal.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43The PM confirmed Britain would come out of the EU single market

0:35:43 > 0:35:46but there would be a transition period from EU membership

0:35:46 > 0:35:51to whatever is agreed after.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54And she said parliament would be given a vote on a final deal.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58But it was Parliament getting a say on the start of negotiating that

0:35:58 > 0:36:01deal which was the big news a few days later.

0:36:01 > 0:36:02Gina Miller!

0:36:02 > 0:36:05The government got taken to court for wanting to trigger Article 50.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07The mechanism to leave the EU.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Without having to ask MPs first.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11By a majority of 8-3, the Supreme Court rules

0:36:11 > 0:36:14that the government cannot trigger Article 50 without an act

0:36:14 > 0:36:18of Parliament authorising it to do so.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21No Prime Minister, no government, can expect to be

0:36:21 > 0:36:24unanswerable or unchallenged.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Parliament alone is sovereign!

0:36:27 > 0:36:33Parliament was given that very vote a few weeks later.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35The Ayes to the right, 494.

0:36:35 > 0:36:41The Noes to the left, 122.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44An historic vote today.

0:36:44 > 0:36:50And it got through by a large majority at every turn.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52It has carried out the will of the British people.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55The stage was set, then, and on the 29th of March,

0:36:55 > 0:36:56Article 50 was triggered.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59This is an historic moment from which there can be

0:36:59 > 0:37:02no turning back.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05And all it took was a short letter delivered by hand to Brussels,

0:37:05 > 0:37:07signed by Theresa May.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Though you might not know it from that signature.

0:37:09 > 0:37:10So here it is.

0:37:10 > 0:37:17Six pages.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19We already miss you.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20Thank you and goodbye.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Now it was time for the difficult bit to start -

0:37:23 > 0:37:24negotiating the terms.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26We were all doggedly talking about Brexit,

0:37:26 > 0:37:31but other things happened, too.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34The Conservative Party candidate - 13,748.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37In February, the Tories won the Copeland by-election -

0:37:37 > 0:37:40a first such win by a government party over its opposition

0:37:40 > 0:37:41in 35 years.

0:37:41 > 0:37:47In a place that had been Labour since 1935.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50On the same night, Labour held onto their Stoke-on-Trent seat.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53You going to resign?

0:37:53 > 0:37:56Seeing off a challenge from Ukip.

0:37:56 > 0:38:01It was a message that hope triumphs over fear.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03There were elections, too, for the Northern Ireland assembly.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07Sinn Fein came within one seat of drawing level with the DUP

0:38:07 > 0:38:10after a bitterly divisive campaign.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14Just a few weeks later, the death of Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness,

0:38:14 > 0:38:15Northern Ireland's former Deputy First Minister.

0:38:15 > 0:38:23Martin McGuinness was a freedom fighter.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25Even now, there's still no sign of a breakthrough

0:38:25 > 0:38:27so that power-sharing can be

0:38:27 > 0:38:28restored at Stormont.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32Saving for a rainy day, Chancellor?

0:38:32 > 0:38:36Back in London, Philip Hammond gave the first of his budgets this year.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Theresa May was really looking forward to it.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41The Chancellor said it would prepare Britain for Brexit.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45It provides a strong and stable platform for those negotiations.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Strong and stable - the phrase we would all

0:38:48 > 0:38:50get bored of.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52On the 22nd of March, a terrorist ploughed

0:38:52 > 0:38:54through pedestrians on Westminster Bridge,

0:38:54 > 0:38:59killing four and injuring 50.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01He then stabbed to death a policeman just outside

0:39:01 > 0:39:02the Houses of Parliament.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05He was later shot dead.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08The first three months of the year in Westminster and beyond had

0:39:08 > 0:39:11already provided plenty to fill the airwaves and newspapers.

0:39:11 > 0:39:15Then, a surprise announcement no-one saw coming.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19I've just chaired a meeting of the Cabinet, where we agreed

0:39:19 > 0:39:23the government should call a general election

0:39:23 > 0:39:26to be held on the 8th of June.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30Every vote for the Conservatives will make me stronger

0:39:30 > 0:39:32when I negotiate for Britain with the prime ministers,

0:39:32 > 0:39:35president and chancellors the European Union.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39Every vote for the Conservatives will mean we can stick to our plan

0:39:39 > 0:39:42for a stronger Britain, and take the right long-term

0:39:42 > 0:39:47decisions for a more secure future.

0:39:47 > 0:39:48General election?

0:39:48 > 0:39:49You're joking!

0:39:49 > 0:39:58Not another one!

0:39:58 > 0:40:04Go on, go on.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07The path ahead seemed pretty clear for Theresa May and the Tories

0:40:07 > 0:40:09could almost smell victory.

0:40:09 > 0:40:10Or so they thought.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12The local elections saw the Conservatives make big gains

0:40:12 > 0:40:14across the country

0:40:14 > 0:40:16at the expense of Ukip, whose vote collapsed,

0:40:16 > 0:40:18and Labour.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22We've had very disappointing results in other parts of the country.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Yes, we have to go out there in the next four weeks and get

0:40:25 > 0:40:27the message out.

0:40:27 > 0:40:31There were recriminations, too, among some Labour MPs.

0:40:31 > 0:40:36It's a pretty disastrous picture.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40It's simply not good enough for a party that has been

0:40:40 > 0:40:42in opposition for seven years, that is heading

0:40:42 > 0:40:45towards a general election in five weeks, to not be picking up seats

0:40:45 > 0:40:52and not making forward progress.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54But so much progress was made on Labour's election manifesto

0:40:54 > 0:40:58that it was finished five days early and promptly leaked to the press.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02When it was formally lodged, it called for the renationalisation

0:41:02 > 0:41:05of the water companies and an end to tuition fees.

0:41:05 > 0:41:10This is a programme of hope.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12The Tory campaign by contrast is built on one

0:41:12 > 0:41:18word - fear.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21The Tories, meanwhile, unveiled a document that included

0:41:21 > 0:41:23scrapping free school lunches for children

0:41:23 > 0:41:26in England and a shake-up of the social care system.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28With confidence in ourselves and a unity of purpose

0:41:28 > 0:41:31in our country, let us all go forward together.

0:41:31 > 0:41:37APPLAUSE.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39But then Theresa May seemed to lose her way.

0:41:39 > 0:41:45The direction unclear.

0:41:45 > 0:41:55In what were a series of unforced errors.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57There was that u-turn on social care.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00You've just announced a significant change to what was offered

0:42:00 > 0:42:03in your manifesto, saying there will now be the possibility

0:42:03 > 0:42:04of a cap on social care.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08That was not in the plans announced just four days ago.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Our social care system will collapse unless we address this problem.

0:42:11 > 0:42:12Nothing has changed.

0:42:12 > 0:42:18Nothing has changed.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Then she refused to take part in any head-to-head televised debate.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24The Prime Minister is not here tonight.

0:42:24 > 0:42:25She can't be bothered,

0:42:25 > 0:42:26so why should you?

0:42:26 > 0:42:30In fact, Bake Off is on BBC Two next.

0:42:30 > 0:42:36It wasn't Bake Off, but she did go on TV to talk about the bins.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39And it all seemed a bit cringing.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42There is give and take in every marriage isn't there?

0:42:42 > 0:42:46Of course.

0:42:46 > 0:42:51I get to decide when I take the bins out, not if I take the bins out.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53There are boy jobs and girl jobs, you see.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56And then there was that weird time the Prime Minister was asked

0:42:56 > 0:42:59what was the naughtiest thing she ever done as a child.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02She said it was to run through a field of wheat.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Come on, Ed, come on, Ed.

0:43:04 > 0:43:11# The hills are alive with the sound of music #.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn was positively frolicking out

0:43:14 > 0:43:16on the campaign trail,

0:43:16 > 0:43:22greeted like a rock star at his well attended rallies.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25I never was into politics because I never thought politicians

0:43:25 > 0:43:27were, like, normal people.

0:43:27 > 0:43:33Until now.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35You won't say whether you think having gay sex

0:43:35 > 0:43:36is a sin.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39Elsewhere, the Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, a devoted Christian,

0:43:39 > 0:43:41kept being asked the same question.

0:43:41 > 0:43:48I don't believe gay sex is a sin.

0:43:48 > 0:43:50I take the view that as a political leader,

0:43:50 > 0:43:52my job is not to pontificate on theological matters.

0:43:52 > 0:43:57He provided one of the best catchphrases of the campaign.

0:43:57 > 0:44:02Smell my spaniel, maybe.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04Not everyone liked it.

0:44:04 > 0:44:11Meanwhile, the SNP seems pretty cool about the challenge ahead.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14Winning those 56 seats will be a huge challenge

0:44:14 > 0:44:16for Nicola Sturgeon's party.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18Ruth Davidson has predicted we've hit peak that,

0:44:18 > 0:44:19the only way is down.

0:44:19 > 0:44:20This party...

0:44:20 > 0:44:21Hello!

0:44:21 > 0:44:24Ukip's manifesto was memorable for its proposed ban on burqas

0:44:24 > 0:44:28in public but to lead a Paul Nuttall had trouble with his own memory.

0:44:28 > 0:44:31I think it's absolutely right, what we need to do...

0:44:31 > 0:44:31I'm not Natalie!

0:44:31 > 0:44:34Thank you.

0:44:34 > 0:44:34Women's names.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36He's done it twice now.

0:44:36 > 0:44:36Have I?

0:44:36 > 0:44:38I'm sorry about that.

0:44:40 > 0:44:45Politics was overtaken by tragedy not once, but twice.

0:44:45 > 0:44:4923 people, including the attacker, were killed after a bomb went off

0:44:49 > 0:44:51at a pop concert at the Manchester Arena.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53This was among the worst terrorist incidents we've ever experienced

0:44:53 > 0:44:57in the United Kingdom.

0:44:59 > 0:45:02Less than two weeks later and five days before the election,

0:45:02 > 0:45:07a second terror attack, this time on London Bridge.

0:45:07 > 0:45:11Eight people killed and the three attackers shot dead by police.

0:45:11 > 0:45:19On both occasions, the campaign was suspended for several days.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25What we're saying is the Conservatives are the largest party.

0:45:25 > 0:45:29Note, they don't have an overall majority at this stage.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32Overall, the Conservatives lost 12 seats, creating a hung parliament.

0:45:32 > 0:45:37They were the biggest party but didn't have a majority.

0:45:41 > 0:45:45Surprising even themselves, Labour gained an extra 30 seats.

0:45:45 > 0:45:51The SNP lost 21, including that of their former leader Alex Salmond.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56Former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg also lost his seat.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00Theresa May stayed on as PM, but only just.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02I'm sorry for all those candidates and hard-working party workers

0:46:02 > 0:46:04who weren't successful.

0:46:04 > 0:46:08With their majority got a vocal number of Tory MPs thought it stank.

0:46:08 > 0:46:10And Theresa May would have to clean up the mess.

0:46:10 > 0:46:16That's what she promised to do.

0:46:16 > 0:46:19But still there was pressure on her to resign, including

0:46:19 > 0:46:23from a former close colleague who, by the way, had got a new job

0:46:23 > 0:46:24as editor of the London Evening Standard.

0:46:24 > 0:46:28Theresa May is a dead woman walking, it's how long she will remain

0:46:28 > 0:46:31on death row.

0:46:31 > 0:46:35Tim Farron did decide it was time to go, even though the Lib Dems had

0:46:35 > 0:46:36regained an extra eight seats.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38To be a political leader especially of a progressive,

0:46:38 > 0:46:41liberal party, in 2017, and to live as a committed

0:46:41 > 0:46:44Christian, to hold faithfully to the Bible's teaching has felt

0:46:44 > 0:46:46impossible for me.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48Watching on was the man who took over, Vince Cable.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50Not all, Paul Andrew.

0:46:50 > 0:46:56Paul Nuttall, who failed to win a seat, also resigned.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59For us, though the tide may be out at the moment,

0:46:59 > 0:47:02at this present moment in time, I am convinced it will return.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06Deal or no Deal Mrs Foster?

0:47:06 > 0:47:09To get enough MPs to pass any laws, Theresa May

0:47:09 > 0:47:15the Democratic Unionist Party's ten MPs from Northern Ireland onside.

0:47:15 > 0:47:17This discussion is still going on.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19Norman, what can you tell us?

0:47:19 > 0:47:22You keep looking over your shoulder in case she comes out the door,

0:47:22 > 0:47:24what can you tell us so far?

0:47:24 > 0:47:28Tadhg actually I was looking at a much more interesting fight

0:47:28 > 0:47:31about to erupt between Palmerston and Larry, who is lying flat

0:47:31 > 0:47:35on the street, a serious clash that could be about to unfold,

0:47:35 > 0:47:39I don't know whether I should intervene.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42I don't know whether I should intervene.

0:47:42 > 0:47:45Don't worry, there was no fight, they came to an arrangement,

0:47:45 > 0:47:48as did the DUP and government, 18 days after the election.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Today we've reached an outcome that is good for the United Kingdom.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54Then remember the guy being treated like a rock star?

0:47:54 > 0:47:55Jeremy Corbyn went to Glastonbury.

0:47:55 > 0:48:19Plenty did I just.

0:48:19 > 0:48:27Plenty to digest and it was only June.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29The big issue of Brexit hadn't gone away,

0:48:29 > 0:48:32time for the EU and UK to get stuck in.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34A hugely important decision was taken by the remaining 27

0:48:34 > 0:48:37countries in the EU at the end of April.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40To start with negotiators would only talk about three subjects,

0:48:40 > 0:48:42the border between Ireland and the Republic of Ireland,

0:48:42 > 0:48:46the right of EU citizens living in Britain and vice versa and how

0:48:46 > 0:48:48much Britain owed the EU, the so-called divorce bill.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51Only when sufficient progress was made in those areas could talks

0:48:51 > 0:48:53move on to the nitty-gritty of trade deals.

0:48:53 > 0:48:57We all want a close and strong future relationship with the UK.

0:48:57 > 0:49:01There's absolutely no question about it.

0:49:01 > 0:49:06Before discussing the future, we have to sort out our past.

0:49:06 > 0:49:09The very next day, a German newspaper published details

0:49:09 > 0:49:16of a meeting between the EU mission president Jean-Claude Juncker

0:49:18 > 0:49:21and the PM.

0:49:21 > 0:49:24It alleged the meeting had been frosty and Jean-Claude Juncker had

0:49:24 > 0:49:25left ten times more sceptical.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27Theresa May dismissed the report as gossip.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30By June, it was time to get on with it.

0:49:30 > 0:49:33I'm here in Brussels today, like Michel, to be in the next phase

0:49:33 > 0:49:37of our work to build a new comedy band special partnership

0:49:37 > 0:49:41with the European Union.

0:49:41 > 0:49:43But that wouldn't be easy.

0:49:43 > 0:49:47TRANSLATION:The UK decided to leave the EU, not the other way round,

0:49:47 > 0:49:50and the consequences are substantial.

0:49:50 > 0:49:54We come bearing gifts.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57Enter Jeremy Corbyn to mix things up a bit.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00He met the EU chief negotiator to discuss Labour's Brexit position,

0:50:00 > 0:50:03which may not have been as obvious as his football allegiance.

0:50:03 > 0:50:04A football shirt!

0:50:04 > 0:50:07Barnier?

0:50:07 > 0:50:11You are now playing for Arsenal.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13Over the summer, the British government published a series

0:50:13 > 0:50:16of papers clarify its position on a range of issues.

0:50:16 > 0:50:20By the end of August the EU seem to suggest it wasn't enough.

0:50:20 > 0:50:21To be honest, I'm concerned.

0:50:21 > 0:50:27Time passes quickly.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29With the clock ticking Theresa May made another speech,

0:50:29 > 0:50:32this time in Florence.

0:50:32 > 0:50:35She said there should be a transition period of two years

0:50:35 > 0:50:37after Brexit, and that Britain was prepared to pay

0:50:37 > 0:50:40a financial settlement.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42People, businesses and public services should only have to plan

0:50:42 > 0:50:47for one set of changes in the relationship

0:50:47 > 0:50:49between the UK and EU.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52The UK will honour commitments we've made during the period

0:50:52 > 0:50:56of our membership.

0:50:56 > 0:50:59Let us be creative as well as practical in designing an ambitious

0:50:59 > 0:51:02economic partnership that respect the freedoms and principles

0:51:02 > 0:51:05of the EU and the wishes of the British people.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07A month later, another dinner, another kiss with Jean-Claude

0:51:07 > 0:51:09Juncker.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Another German newspaper report.

0:51:11 > 0:51:15This time it said the PM had begged for help when they met,

0:51:15 > 0:51:16and she seemed tired and politically weak.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18He denied the account.

0:51:18 > 0:51:21She was in good shape, she was not tired, she was fighting.

0:51:21 > 0:51:22As is her duty.

0:51:22 > 0:51:23Everything for me was OK.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25She didn't plead with you for help?

0:51:25 > 0:51:30No, no.

0:51:30 > 0:51:33That's not the style of British prime ministers.

0:51:33 > 0:51:35Still, by December, no decision on whether sufficient progress

0:51:35 > 0:51:37had been made.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40A deal was so near.

0:51:40 > 0:51:44Theresa May was even in Brussels.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47But the sticking point was the DUP, who said they weren't happy

0:51:47 > 0:51:49with proposals for Northern Ireland.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52We will not accept any form of regulatory diverging switch

0:51:52 > 0:51:54-- divergence which separates Northern Ireland economically

0:51:54 > 0:51:56or politically from the rest of the UK.

0:51:56 > 0:52:00A dramatic intervention and back to stalemate.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02But after more late-night talks, finally, a breakthrough.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05For now at least.

0:52:05 > 0:52:10Sufficient progress has now been made on the terms of the divorce.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12This was a difficult negotiation for the European Union

0:52:12 > 0:52:18as well as for the United Kingdom.

0:52:18 > 0:52:23You can say that again, Jean-Claude.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25And that's what it was all about.

0:52:25 > 0:52:31I very much welcome the prospect of moving ahead to the next phase.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33Will you be celebrating, Mr Barnier?

0:52:33 > 0:52:35Cracking open the champagne? I'm still working.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38The chief negotiator wasn't quite jumping for joy.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41The ultimate arbiter.

0:52:41 > 0:52:44Put it in your pipe and smoke it.

0:52:44 > 0:52:53Amazing isn't it British by Minister has to fly through the middle

0:52:53 > 0:52:57of the night to meet some unelected bureaucrats who pat her on the head

0:52:57 > 0:52:59and say, you've met all our demands, made sufficient progress,

0:52:59 > 0:53:01we can move onto the next stage.

0:53:01 > 0:53:03The whole thing is a humiliation.

0:53:03 > 0:53:06There is little doubt it did come as some relief to the PM.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08Even if less than one week later...

0:53:08 > 0:53:11The ayes to the right, 309, noes to the left -

0:53:11 > 0:53:12305.

0:53:12 > 0:53:15She was defeated in the Commons when rebel Tory and opposition MPs

0:53:15 > 0:53:18forced the government to give a legal guarantee of a vote

0:53:18 > 0:53:19on the final Brexit deal.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22Overall, a year of Brexit negotiations ended with agreement.

0:53:22 > 0:53:30At least the first bit.

0:53:30 > 0:53:34Is Theresa May's goal of a full agreement by March 2019 realistic?

0:53:34 > 0:53:45Still realistic and, of course, dramatically difficult.

0:53:45 > 0:53:48With the election over and Brexit dominating the whole of 2017,

0:53:48 > 0:53:52it was a long slog.

0:53:52 > 0:54:00Keeping control of her own party has been an uphill struggle for the PM.

0:54:02 > 0:54:09Not least when you compare it to Jeremy Corbyn's fortunes.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12They may have lost the election but Labour's awesome party

0:54:12 > 0:54:14conference felt more like a victory parade.

0:54:14 > 0:54:15It wasn't like this last year.

0:54:15 > 0:54:22Thank you so much for that wonderful welcome and this incredible feeling

0:54:22 > 0:54:25and spirit and unity and love and affection we have here.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28The run-up to the Tory conference was less than harmonious,

0:54:28 > 0:54:31Boris Johnson hit the headlines for an article he wrote

0:54:31 > 0:54:35outlining his own red lines in Brexit negotiations.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37They seemed to go further than that of the Prime Minister

0:54:37 > 0:54:40and what was agreed by the Cabinet.

0:54:40 > 0:54:42Once again there were whispers about his leadership aspirations.

0:54:42 > 0:54:47A little taste of Italy.

0:54:47 > 0:54:50As there were about this man, Jacob Rees-Mogg, though he told me

0:54:50 > 0:54:52he wants Theresa May to stay on as leader.

0:54:52 > 0:54:55For ever and ever, eternity, even eternity is too short

0:54:55 > 0:54:56to extol her.

0:54:56 > 0:54:57You don't fancy it yourself?

0:54:57 > 0:55:02No, of course not, I want Mrs May to go on for ever and ever.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05In the end it was Theresa May's conference speech that went

0:55:05 > 0:55:05on and on.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07It started with a prankster.

0:55:07 > 0:55:11Prepare for a run on the ground.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14Boris, job done, given her the P45.

0:55:14 > 0:55:23Of course it had nothing to do with the Foreign Secretary.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25I was about to talk about somebody I would like to give a P45 to,

0:55:26 > 0:55:28that's Jeremy Corbyn.

0:55:28 > 0:55:31And then came the frog in the throat.

0:55:31 > 0:55:32Excuse me!

0:55:32 > 0:55:37The deficit is back to pre-crisis levels...

0:55:37 > 0:55:42Sounds as if my voice isn't on track.

0:55:49 > 0:55:52And, as if it couldn't get any worse, even the scenery

0:55:52 > 0:55:53started falling down.

0:55:53 > 0:55:56The PM put on a brave face and was supported by her husband

0:55:56 > 0:55:59and, in the coming days, after some whisperings

0:55:59 > 0:56:03about her leadership, her Cabinet.

0:56:03 > 0:56:06By the end of October, scandal once again hit Westminster,

0:56:06 > 0:56:12this time about sexual harassment.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15Very quickly it became clear it wasn't party political,

0:56:15 > 0:56:16with various MPs implicated.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19And then a Cabinet Minister.

0:56:19 > 0:56:22In recent days allegations have been made about MPs' conduct.

0:56:22 > 0:56:23Including my own.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26Many of these allegations have been false.

0:56:26 > 0:56:30But I realise that in the past I may have fallen below the high standards

0:56:30 > 0:56:33that we require of the Armed Forces.

0:56:33 > 0:56:36That I have the honour to represent.

0:56:36 > 0:56:39I have reflected now in my position in government and I am therefore

0:56:39 > 0:56:46resigning as Defence Secretary.

0:56:46 > 0:56:54One week later, jetting back this time from an official ministerial

0:56:54 > 0:56:57trip, Priti Patel, the International Development Secretary,

0:56:57 > 0:56:59was called into Downing Street and also resigned.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02This time over unauthorised meetings she'd had with Israeli officials

0:57:02 > 0:57:02while on holiday.

0:57:02 > 0:57:06In her resignation letter, Ms Patel said her actions fell below

0:57:06 > 0:57:11the standards of transparency and openness.

0:57:11 > 0:57:15Losing two Cabinet ministers in a week was unlucky. Losing a third

0:57:15 > 0:57:18following month was awkward, especially as it was one of the

0:57:18 > 0:57:31reason may's mates. Damian Green was sacked after what he supposedly knew

0:57:31 > 0:57:32about pornography on his computer.

0:57:32 > 0:57:34It wasn't just troublesome friends at home.

0:57:34 > 0:57:38In January the PM and Donald Trump had got on so well when she went

0:57:38 > 0:57:42to Washington they even held hands.

0:57:42 > 0:57:45Mrs May invited the President over for a state visit...at some stage.

0:57:45 > 0:57:48That didn't go down well with some people back home.

0:57:48 > 0:57:51So when the President retweeted some unsubstantiated posts from a British

0:57:51 > 0:57:53far right group called Britain first, it was,

0:57:53 > 0:57:55at best, a bit awkward.

0:57:55 > 0:57:57Theresa May said he was wrong to do it.

0:57:57 > 0:58:02He told her, don't focus on me.

0:58:02 > 0:58:05The year didn't end as friendly as it had started,

0:58:05 > 0:58:07but is the president still coming over?

0:58:07 > 0:58:11An invitation for a state visit has been extended and has been accepted.

0:58:11 > 0:58:13We have yet to set a date.

0:58:13 > 0:58:14Thank you.

0:58:14 > 0:58:17Something to look forward to next year.

0:58:23 > 0:58:27So much going on, little sign of things slowing down.

0:58:27 > 0:58:29Politics aside, there was one more important moment

0:58:29 > 0:58:31in Westminster this year.

0:58:31 > 0:58:36The silencing of an old friend.

0:58:40 > 0:58:44Big Ben stopped bonging.

0:58:44 > 0:58:47Apart from Remembrance Sunday and New Year's Eve, the bell

0:58:47 > 0:58:52will stay silent as repair works go on...

0:58:52 > 0:58:56..for four years.

0:58:56 > 0:59:01Even the Prime Minister is a bit upset about it as our other MPs.

0:59:01 > 0:59:04It means something.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06It really does.

0:59:06 > 0:59:10These are the chimes of freedom and they have to be respected.

0:59:10 > 0:59:11We've got to keep them bonging.

0:59:11 > 0:59:15It really has been all about timing this year.

0:59:25 > 0:59:28An election and all the fallout.

0:59:28 > 0:59:30Brexit and the ongoing negotiations, scandals at Westminster.

0:59:30 > 0:59:32It's been quite a year.

0:59:32 > 0:59:36Next year couldn't possibly be so frantic, could it?

1:00:06 > 1:00:10Hello, this is Breakfast, with Tina Daheley and Jon Kay.

1:00:10 > 1:00:13The FBI says it's foiled a Christmas Day terror attack

1:00:13 > 1:00:14in San Francisco.

1:00:14 > 1:00:16A former US marine has been arrested, accused of planning

1:00:16 > 1:00:19a suicide mission at Pier 39, one of the city's most

1:00:19 > 1:00:23famous tourist attractions.

1:00:33 > 1:00:33Good morning.

1:00:33 > 1:00:34It's Saturday 23rd December.

1:00:34 > 1:00:42Also this morning:

1:00:42 > 1:00:46A man's due in court in York, charged with the murder of a woman

1:00:46 > 1:00:49who was stabbed to death at the supermarket where she worked.

1:00:49 > 1:00:51China and Russia join the United States in approving fresh

1:00:51 > 1:00:58UN sanctions on North Korea.

1:00:58 > 1:01:03Good morning, like to Christmas homeless shelter in central London

1:01:03 > 1:01:07as research points to the fact there are far more people sleeping rough

1:01:07 > 1:01:08than was previously thought.

1:01:08 > 1:01:11In sport, there's a festive feast at the Emirates.

1:01:11 > 1:01:13Three goals in five minutes for Arsenal, but it's not enough

1:01:13 > 1:01:17as Liverpool strike back to earn a draw in a cracker to kick off

1:01:17 > 1:01:19the Christmas fixtures.

1:01:19 > 1:01:21One of the world's rarest pigs, caught on camera -

1:01:21 > 1:01:24scientists thought the Javan Warty had been driven to extinction.

1:01:24 > 1:01:29We'll hear how it's now been rediscovered.

1:01:29 > 1:01:36And Matt has the weather.

1:01:36 > 1:01:39Good morning, another incredibly mild state across the UK, fairly

1:01:39 > 1:01:44grey for many at the risk colder air getting closer. While it arrive in

1:01:44 > 1:01:49time for Christmas Day? Your full forecast is coming up. We look

1:01:49 > 1:01:51forward to finding out, thank you, Matt.

1:01:51 > 1:01:52Good morning.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55First, our main story - a former US marine has been arrested

1:01:55 > 1:01:58on suspicion of planning a terror attack in San Francisco

1:01:58 > 1:01:59on Christmas Day.

1:01:59 > 1:02:01Everitt Aaron Jameson was held after allegedly discussing the plot

1:02:01 > 1:02:02with undercover FBI agents.

1:02:02 > 1:02:04Our North America correspondent Peter Bowes reports.

1:02:04 > 1:02:06One of San Francisco's most popular tourist attractions,

1:02:06 > 1:02:10Pier 39, packed with shops and restaurants.

1:02:10 > 1:02:13The FBI says Everitt Jameson planned to attack the area on Christmas Day.

1:02:13 > 1:02:16Using explosives, he wanted to funnel the crowds into a location

1:02:16 > 1:02:20where he could inflict casualties.

1:02:20 > 1:02:22The alleged plot came to light after someone reported Jameson

1:02:22 > 1:02:27for suspicious activity on Facebook.

1:02:27 > 1:02:29He liked posts sympathetic with the so-called Islamic State

1:02:29 > 1:02:32group, and he voiced support for the Halloween attack

1:02:32 > 1:02:36in New York City when a lorry was driven on to a crowded bike

1:02:36 > 1:02:38path, killing eight people, and the mass shooting

1:02:38 > 1:02:42in San Bernardino in 2015.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44Jameson's home was raided on Wednesday.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46Investigators found several weapons and ammunition,

1:02:46 > 1:02:48and a will.

1:02:48 > 1:02:51Agents believe the attack was to be a suicide mission.

1:02:51 > 1:02:54And there was a note that referred to Donald Trump's recent

1:02:54 > 1:02:56announcement that the US would recognise Jerusalem

1:02:56 > 1:03:02as the capital of Israel.

1:03:02 > 1:03:05It's really unbelievable, it's just hard to fathom right now.

1:03:05 > 1:03:08I really don't know what to say, what, you know, how to feel, really.

1:03:08 > 1:03:10It's just shocking, you know?

1:03:10 > 1:03:14That's my son.

1:03:14 > 1:03:24In a statement, the US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said:

1:03:24 > 1:03:26The FBI says the public in San Francisco were never

1:03:26 > 1:03:27in imminent danger.

1:03:27 > 1:03:30This time, the FBI got his man but the concern is how many

1:03:30 > 1:03:34could there be out there that are not on the FBI's or local

1:03:34 > 1:03:35law enforcement's radar?

1:03:35 > 1:03:41And that's what keeps us up at night.

1:03:41 > 1:03:42The former marine has appeared in court.

1:03:42 > 1:03:45Through his lawyer, he denied the allegations.

1:03:45 > 1:03:48If convicted, he faces a fine and a maximum sentence of 20

1:03:48 > 1:03:56years in prison.

1:03:56 > 1:04:00A man is due in court this morning charged with murdering a woman

1:04:00 > 1:04:01as she worked in a supermarket.

1:04:01 > 1:04:04Neville Hord, who is 44, will appear before York Magistrates

1:04:04 > 1:04:06over the death of Jodie Willsher in Skipton.

1:04:06 > 1:04:12Our North of England correspondent Judith Moritz reports.

1:04:12 > 1:04:16Malcolm and Jodie Willsher looking forward to a family Christmas.

1:04:16 > 1:04:20Now he is left grieving, paying tribute to her as a doting

1:04:20 > 1:04:21mother and loving wife.

1:04:21 > 1:04:23Jodie Willsher was getting ready for the holidays,

1:04:23 > 1:04:28wearing her festive jumper while serving supermarket shoppers.

1:04:28 > 1:04:32Jodie had worked at the Skipton Aldi since it opened two years ago.

1:04:32 > 1:04:35The store was full when she was stabbed.

1:04:35 > 1:04:37Trolleys were abandoned as fearful shoppers scattered,

1:04:37 > 1:04:42while several staff and customers rushed to help.

1:04:42 > 1:04:45There was chaos inside the shop as people realised

1:04:45 > 1:04:46what had happened.

1:04:46 > 1:04:49And as Jodie lay dying, the first person to intervene

1:04:49 > 1:04:53was a man in his 60s who grappled with the attacker for a long time

1:04:53 > 1:04:57as he tried to restrain him.

1:04:57 > 1:05:04Despite efforts to save Jodie, she died on the shop floor.

1:05:04 > 1:05:06The supermarket became a crime scene, forensics staff and police

1:05:06 > 1:05:09officers taking evidence away.

1:05:09 > 1:05:11The shop was closed, with customers coming instead

1:05:11 > 1:05:16to leave tributes for the popular member of staff.

1:05:16 > 1:05:18Whenever I've shopped in Aldi, she's always been friendly,

1:05:18 > 1:05:21pleasant, you know, a lovely, lovely girl, and it's just -

1:05:21 > 1:05:28what a shock, you know, an absolute shock, really.

1:05:28 > 1:05:30The community here is small and tight-knit.

1:05:30 > 1:05:33Jodie Willsher worked at its heart, well-known and well liked.

1:05:33 > 1:05:44A 44-year-old man has been charged with her murder.

1:05:44 > 1:05:45Some international news.

1:05:45 > 1:05:48The United Nations Security Council has passed severe new sanctions

1:05:48 > 1:05:50against North Korea, aimed at cutting oil supplies vital

1:05:50 > 1:05:52for its missile and nuclear programs.

1:05:52 > 1:05:55The sanctions, proposed by the US, also force North Koreans working

1:05:55 > 1:05:56overseas to return home.

1:05:56 > 1:06:00Nada Tawfik reports.

1:06:00 > 1:06:03This is the 10th Security Council resolution imposing sanctions

1:06:03 > 1:06:04on North Korea.

1:06:04 > 1:06:07None before it has convinced Kim Jong-un to abandon his nuclear

1:06:07 > 1:06:10programme, but diplomats hope this resolution will bite hard enough

1:06:10 > 1:06:13to change the regime's calculus - or at the very least,

1:06:13 > 1:06:15restrict its ability to carry out additional nuclear

1:06:15 > 1:06:19and missile tests.

1:06:19 > 1:06:22President Trump specifically asked President Xi of China to cut oil

1:06:22 > 1:06:26to Pyongyang, believing it would be a pivotal step.

1:06:26 > 1:06:29Mr Trump celebrated the adoption of new sanctions, tweeting

1:06:29 > 1:06:33"The world wants peace, not death".

1:06:33 > 1:06:36Today's resolution achieves an 89% total reduction of the Kim regime's

1:06:36 > 1:06:39ability to import gasoline, diesel and other refined products,

1:06:39 > 1:06:42and should the North Korean regime conduct another nuclear or ballistic

1:06:42 > 1:06:45missile test, this resolution commits the Security Council to take

1:06:45 > 1:07:01even further action.

1:07:01 > 1:07:03The resolution also requires countries to expel North Koreans

1:07:03 > 1:07:07working abroad within 24 months in an effort to cut off an important

1:07:07 > 1:07:08source of revenue.

1:07:08 > 1:07:1015 North Korean officials in the ministry which manages

1:07:10 > 1:07:13logistics for the army will now be added to the UN blacklist.

1:07:13 > 1:07:21Nada Tawfik, BBC News, New York.

1:07:21 > 1:07:25The homeless charity crisis is warning of the hidden homeless,

1:07:25 > 1:07:30somebody whose sleeps on a train or car, bus or tent rather than in a

1:07:30 > 1:07:33doorway on the street. It is estimated up to 9000 people fall

1:07:33 > 1:07:38into the category, on top of more than 4000 people known to be

1:07:38 > 1:07:41sleeping rough. The charity is urging government to act or face

1:07:41 > 1:07:48thousands more falling into the situation.

1:07:48 > 1:07:53My name is Alex, I'm 36 and I was tent homeless.After the breakup of

1:07:53 > 1:07:56a relationship and with no friends or family nearby, Alex felt rough

1:07:56 > 1:08:01sleeping was his only option.Rather than coming and aahing, bought

1:08:01 > 1:08:06myself a tent and a sleeping back the same day and three weeks later,

1:08:06 > 1:08:11I have got out of the situation. Alex was a hidden rough sleeper

1:08:11 > 1:08:14according to the homeless charity, hiding his homelessness in a tent in

1:08:14 > 1:08:18a wooded area rather than bedding down on the street.It is just

1:08:18 > 1:08:23putting my mind that this is the long-term, it is a long-term, it is

1:08:23 > 1:08:27just an overdue camping trip which I kind of just explained to myself,

1:08:27 > 1:08:31made me get through it.Any new report it suggests more than 9000

1:08:31 > 1:08:35hidden rough sleepers across the UK will spend Christmas sleeping in

1:08:35 > 1:08:40cars, trains and buses, as well as tenants like Alex.Everyone walks

1:08:40 > 1:08:44past homeless people, use it all the time, it is almost like part of

1:08:44 > 1:08:48day-to-day life that they experience, people begin with cups

1:08:48 > 1:08:52and stuff with dogs or bits of cardboard with writing on it and you

1:08:52 > 1:08:56kind of technology at and think it is never going to happen to me,

1:08:56 > 1:08:59never.The charities is hiding the homelessness often makes them

1:08:59 > 1:09:03invisible to outreach workers who could lead to further problems like

1:09:03 > 1:09:07depression and isolation.The feelings about being homeless, it is

1:09:07 > 1:09:11a massive stigma, and I kind of really didn't want to explain to

1:09:11 > 1:09:15friends and family that I am in that sort of area of need. And almost too

1:09:15 > 1:09:20proud to ask for help.Crisis is calling on the government to do more

1:09:20 > 1:09:23to help people who find themselves in this situation so that they can

1:09:23 > 1:09:28get the help they need. Which Alex eventually did.Five or six months

1:09:28 > 1:09:37ago I was living in my tent, 20 18 is coming to be a new year and it is

1:09:37 > 1:09:40going to be my dear.The government says we are committed to halve the

1:09:40 > 1:09:45rough sleeping by 2022, by providing over a billion through to 2020 to

1:09:45 > 1:09:52provide -- prevent homelessness and rough sleeping.

1:09:57 > 1:10:01can at the Duchess of Cornwall to his dance partner list. The Duchess

1:10:01 > 1:10:07welcomed the judges and a couple of contestants to Buckingham Palace,

1:10:07 > 1:10:13they had been filming a special section of the Strictly Come Dancing

1:10:13 > 1:10:16Christmas gig, at Buckingham Palace, and Brendan later said Camila

1:10:16 > 1:10:22definitely knew her way around the dance floor. I am looking forward to

1:10:22 > 1:10:27watching that, and you can two, 6:30pm on BBC One. What about a

1:10:27 > 1:10:31royal Family strictly come dancing? They did that years ago with

1:10:31 > 1:10:36knockout, it would be amazing. It is 7:10 AM.

1:10:36 > 1:10:40Burning the turkey or forgetting the name of a distant relative can

1:10:40 > 1:10:42happen to any of us over the festive period.

1:10:42 > 1:10:45And it's easy to put those little Christmas clangers down

1:10:45 > 1:10:47to the stress of the big day.

1:10:47 > 1:10:50Burning the turkey or forgetting the name of a distant relative can

1:10:50 > 1:10:55A dementia experts as they could be early signs of the disease.

1:10:55 > 1:10:57Professor Alistair Burns is Clinical Director for Dementia

1:10:57 > 1:11:00at NHS England, and he's compiled a list of warning signs.

1:11:00 > 1:11:03He joins us now along with Sue Howorth, whose husband

1:11:03 > 1:11:06Michael is living with Alzheimers.

1:11:06 > 1:11:12Thank you both are joining us this morning. If we can come to you, Sue,

1:11:12 > 1:11:15when did you realise the men was wrong with your husband?It was

1:11:15 > 1:11:21diagnosed 11 years ago and there was an symptoms so much better change in

1:11:21 > 1:11:27his personality. -- there was not. If I say it was causing rows, you

1:11:27 > 1:11:32know, as husbands and wives do have rows, but it was his cognitive

1:11:32 > 1:11:37impairments that prevented him from taking in information and thinking

1:11:37 > 1:11:43that he had not been told.Can you give as examples of those types of

1:11:43 > 1:11:47things?I will mention we will meet up at a particular Garrard and he

1:11:47 > 1:11:52would get the wrong one and he said I never said that it sound but the

1:11:52 > 1:11:55normal husband and wife Ralph, doesn't it? But he progressed and

1:11:55 > 1:11:59carried on like that until he got worried and he got to the dock and

1:11:59 > 1:12:06was sent to Alistair, thankfully, who gave him a huge amount of test

1:12:06 > 1:12:10and then it came out he had Alzheimer's.Alistair, you are

1:12:10 > 1:12:14saying this is a good time of year when families are together and

1:12:14 > 1:12:18spending lots of time together to spot potential signs of dementia in

1:12:18 > 1:12:23one another. What should or could we be looking out for?I think

1:12:23 > 1:12:28Christmas is a good time, as soon as described it well, because dementia

1:12:28 > 1:12:35can obviously be a gradual miss that someone living with a person day to

1:12:35 > 1:12:39day it may not notice the science, but as you mentioned you take them

1:12:39 > 1:12:43for granted but at Christmas time if you haven't seen someone for months,

1:12:43 > 1:12:47to see a change would be important that it is the change which is key.

1:12:47 > 1:12:51I guess the other thing at Christmas is we tend to think one of things,

1:12:51 > 1:12:55getting the presence, doing the Christmas dinner, things like that,

1:12:55 > 1:12:59that we can have a comparison. It is a great time for people to talk

1:12:59 > 1:13:04about things.What can you do to support people who have already been

1:13:04 > 1:13:08diagnosed, we should probably come to you, Sue, because your partner

1:13:08 > 1:13:14was diagnosed 11 years ago.Yes, Mike has done incredibly well

1:13:14 > 1:13:17actually over the years, even been the first person in the country to

1:13:17 > 1:13:23be employed by Salford west to help people who were newly diagnosed with

1:13:23 > 1:13:31Alzheimer's.So he is working while not?He has finished now but he was

1:13:31 > 1:13:34incredibly inspirational, wasn't he, Alistair? He spoke to students,

1:13:34 > 1:13:42psychology students, so keeping active, doing sudukos, keeping

1:13:42 > 1:13:46engaged with whatever is going on but 11 years now, all that has sort

1:13:46 > 1:13:53of died down now. But you know he has done very well. You just have to

1:13:53 > 1:13:57support them if they want to keep driving and they are safe, that is

1:13:57 > 1:14:01fine.It is a good point, at Christmas, instead of sitting around

1:14:01 > 1:14:04their tally it may be worthwhile playing a board game for example.

1:14:04 > 1:14:10Yes.That is right, there are many things we can do to prevent the

1:14:10 > 1:14:14development of dementia and keeping active mentally and physically

1:14:14 > 1:14:19active is extremely important and as Sue has said very well, we need to

1:14:19 > 1:14:23learn from people about the early signs, the description of Sue has

1:14:23 > 1:14:28given is very important.If you spot, in a parent or grandparent or

1:14:28 > 1:14:33auntie or uncle over the next few days, or any time, symptoms that you

1:14:33 > 1:14:37think doesn't seem right, something has changed, maybe it is dementia,

1:14:37 > 1:14:42how do you then deal with it? Do you speak to them about it? Do you get

1:14:42 > 1:14:47them to go to a dock?It is potentially a minefield.Reassure

1:14:47 > 1:14:51people that it isn't an isolated forgetting one thing, forgetting

1:14:51 > 1:14:55someone's name as you said, that is completely normal. I think it would

1:14:55 > 1:15:02be a change, a significant change over time that worried people and

1:15:02 > 1:15:05worried their families and carers. That is the crucial thing and

1:15:05 > 1:15:10isolated thing, but is an everyday experience, I think starting the

1:15:10 > 1:15:14conversation, we know from people over the age of 50 of the dementia

1:15:14 > 1:15:21is the most fatal illness, to start in the conversation is important.It

1:15:21 > 1:15:25is difficult. It is awkward, especially over the Christmas table

1:15:25 > 1:15:29or in the evening. It's a hard time of year to address this.That's

1:15:29 > 1:15:34right. You wouldn't necessarily address it at business, but in the

1:15:34 > 1:15:40New Year when everything has settled, if it is still a worry,

1:15:40 > 1:15:45that would give you time to have a discussion and to go to the doctor

1:15:45 > 1:15:49get a memory test and reassure people.How much progress have we

1:15:49 > 1:15:54made when it comes to dementia? There's huge amounts of progress in

1:15:54 > 1:15:59terms of understanding what happens in the brain, looking for new

1:15:59 > 1:16:02treatments, there are treatments available, but that support for

1:16:02 > 1:16:08people with dementia, adding that support is key.I suppose at this

1:16:08 > 1:16:15time of year when it is so busy, what sort of support you have?

1:16:15 > 1:16:17Honestly, I think when you've explained to people that your

1:16:17 > 1:16:21husband has Alzheimer's, your partner, or whether, it's incredible

1:16:21 > 1:16:28how supportive people can be. So being open about it's a good thing.

1:16:28 > 1:16:33People are afraid of it and some people may be worrying about it and

1:16:33 > 1:16:37they have the test and they are fine. So have the test and see that

1:16:37 > 1:16:41there is help and support there. Thank you for being so open about it

1:16:41 > 1:16:46and thanks for sharing your story with us and giving some advice. All

1:16:46 > 1:16:53the very best for Christmas. If you look at this beautiful scene

1:16:53 > 1:16:58in London this morning, it is still dark. If you look closely you can

1:16:58 > 1:17:07just make out the Houses of Parliament and the bongs of Big Ben

1:17:07 > 1:17:13are back for Christmas. Good morning. We are on the roof of

1:17:13 > 1:17:17Parliament this morning. It is a chilly Saturday morning. The bongs

1:17:17 > 1:17:22of Big Ben will be back for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

1:17:22 > 1:17:25Extensive renovation are being carried out on the clock tower and

1:17:25 > 1:17:28that's why it big bet has been silent since Remembrance Day. We

1:17:28 > 1:17:33will hear them live at 9am this morning, live on BBC breakfast --

1:17:33 > 1:17:41Big Ben. Thank you. We will be back for more

1:17:41 > 1:17:42bongs later. Live bongs!

1:17:42 > 1:17:47Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

1:17:47 > 1:17:47It is

1:17:47 > 1:17:54It is looking icy? It is. It's Christmas, so we've got to have a

1:17:54 > 1:17:59Christmas quiz. A quick question. We all dream of a white Christmas.

1:17:59 > 1:18:03Watch the you think was the coldest Christmas Day ever recorded in the

1:18:03 > 1:18:07UK? I am going to go...

1:18:07 > 1:18:18It was about... Didn't we have a white Christmas about 2010?

1:18:18 > 1:18:22Minus 18. That was back in the 1870s.

1:18:22 > 1:18:28Why did I forget that one? What about the mildest one?

1:18:28 > 1:18:3716 degrees. Almost spot-on. Back in 1920, almost

1:18:37 > 1:18:4216 degrees. Melting any snowmen around. And this Christmas it won't

1:18:42 > 1:18:46be 1 million miles from that one across some parts of the UK. Out

1:18:46 > 1:18:51there at the moment it is incredibly mild for December. 13 degrees this

1:18:51 > 1:18:56morning in parts of Aberdeenshire. Cooler through the Vale of York, but

1:18:56 > 1:19:03clear skies to start the day. Fairly cloudy conditions across the UK.

1:19:03 > 1:19:08Rain might be limited towards Shetland, but it will edge into

1:19:08 > 1:19:11other parts of northern Scotland. Gusty winds in the northern half and

1:19:11 > 1:19:15we could have a bit of drizzle in the west. A lot of low cloud sitting

1:19:15 > 1:19:19on the heels of Western England and Wales. If you are travelling home

1:19:19 > 1:19:22for Christmas today to be warned there will be some foggy conditions

1:19:22 > 1:19:26in some of the higher routes. Not too strong in the south. Most places

1:19:26 > 1:19:31dry. A few cloud breaks are possible, anywhere from

1:19:31 > 1:19:34Gloucestershire through the Chester. We could get back in north-east

1:19:34 > 1:19:40England as well. With the brakes towards the east of Ireland, not

1:19:40 > 1:19:44bad. Rain towards the north-west later and turning wet across

1:19:44 > 1:19:46north-western Scotland. Gusty winds to the east of high ground.

1:19:46 > 1:19:51Temperatures around Aberdeenshire could pick about 15 Celsius. Not far

1:19:51 > 1:19:57off the record. Tonight it stays mild. Rain edging southwards.

1:19:57 > 1:20:02Further north, easy. Scotland has the wettest conditions. It could

1:20:02 > 1:20:06lead to minor flooding in a of spots. Much of England and Wales

1:20:06 > 1:20:10will be dry with a little bit of drizzle in the west. Another very

1:20:10 > 1:20:15mild start to tomorrow. Christmas Eve of course, high-pressure keeping

1:20:15 > 1:20:18things dry. This weather fronts around Scotland and Northern

1:20:18 > 1:20:24Ireland. Fairly wet, especially in south-west Scotland. In the

1:20:24 > 1:20:27afternoon the rain band pushes southwards once more. The rain comes

1:20:27 > 1:20:31and goes to eastern parts of Scotland. A few splashes on parts.

1:20:31 > 1:20:38With a bit of a breeze, a few more cloud breaks in England and Wales on

1:20:38 > 1:20:41Christmas Eve. A little bit of sunshine here and there, but

1:20:41 > 1:20:45temperatures again in double figures for the vast majority. For the big

1:20:45 > 1:20:49day, the rain band starts in southern Scotland on Christmas

1:20:49 > 1:20:51morning and it will gradually pushing the northern and western

1:20:51 > 1:20:57parts of England and Wales. Heavy burst, gusty winds, still fairly

1:20:57 > 1:21:00mild, turning colder in Scotland and Northern Ireland. On Christmas Day

1:21:00 > 1:21:04you might get some brightness and on higher ground of northern Scotland

1:21:04 > 1:21:07there may even be a little bit of snow.

1:21:07 > 1:21:11A little tiny bit

1:21:11 > 1:21:12snow. A little tiny bit creeping over the

1:21:12 > 1:21:15top. We will take it where we can find

1:21:15 > 1:21:19it! Thank you.

1:21:19 > 1:21:22A "national crisis" - that's how a committee of MPs

1:21:22 > 1:21:24described the growing problem of homelessness earlier this week.

1:21:24 > 1:21:27Official figures estimate there are more than 4,000 rough

1:21:27 > 1:21:28sleepers across the UK.

1:21:28 > 1:21:30But the homeless charity Crisis believes the actual number

1:21:30 > 1:21:31is double that.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33With rising numbers in cities like Birmingham,

1:21:33 > 1:21:35Manchester and Brighton, the problem remains worst in London,

1:21:35 > 1:21:41and Breakfast's John Maguire is there for us this morning.

1:21:41 > 1:21:49Tell us what happens where you are. Good morning. There are nine of the

1:21:49 > 1:21:54centres in London, 13 across the UK, including in Edinburgh, learning and

1:21:54 > 1:21:59Coventry. As people come in they are registered and they can then access

1:21:59 > 1:22:03all sorts of different services like the internets, get their hair cut,

1:22:03 > 1:22:07legal and housing advice and medical services as well because of course

1:22:07 > 1:22:11these are people who are rough sleeping, out on the streets. I'm

1:22:11 > 1:22:17going to take you into the cafe. Lots of volunteers are here. They

1:22:17 > 1:22:22will be manned until the 30th, so anybody can be referred to one of

1:22:22 > 1:22:25these centres. I'm going to introduce you to Jason. Good

1:22:25 > 1:22:29morning. You've got your bag of tricks here. You've developed this

1:22:29 > 1:22:34over the years so that it is specific for the needs of people who

1:22:34 > 1:22:38are homeless or rough sleepers?Yes. We have a number of things like

1:22:38 > 1:22:45wound dressings, things to measure how much oxygen is circulating in

1:22:45 > 1:22:50people's lard.What sort of problems to people typically have?A range of

1:22:50 > 1:22:54things, from general coughs and colds, skin problems like authors,

1:22:54 > 1:22:59chest infections, sometimes an ammonia -- ulcers. Sometimes we

1:22:59 > 1:23:05transfer people to hospital. Sometimes it's the only time of year

1:23:05 > 1:23:08when people have access to a healthcare service and they come and

1:23:08 > 1:23:17see a doctor or nurse.Thank you very much. Today let's have a chat

1:23:17 > 1:23:22to John and Paula. This research you've been telling us about, about

1:23:22 > 1:23:26hidden homeless people, were you surprised by the scale of the

1:23:26 > 1:23:31findings?I think we were. The true numbers. Neither is in people rough

1:23:31 > 1:23:38sleeping and another nine people hidden rough sleeping, in tents and

1:23:38 > 1:23:43cars and buses and we think it will grow by another 50% in the next ten

1:23:43 > 1:23:46years if we don't change our approach now.What's your

1:23:46 > 1:23:50experience? You found yourself homeless a couple of years ago?I

1:23:50 > 1:23:57did. I spent about three months in my car and I was in a hostel for

1:23:57 > 1:24:02about a year and then I went into a halfway before being housed by the

1:24:02 > 1:24:09council.People who have been fortunate enough not to be in those

1:24:09 > 1:24:11circumstances might struggle to understand what that's like. What is

1:24:11 > 1:24:16it like?Terrifying. It is terrifying. You've got no privacy

1:24:16 > 1:24:22and you don't know who is around the car at any given time. I was lucky

1:24:22 > 1:24:29really because I had neighbours around who were quite supportive,

1:24:29 > 1:24:34who knew the circumstances and supported me and helped me with hot

1:24:34 > 1:24:40water, a shower now and again and luckily I was able to go to college

1:24:40 > 1:24:45as well and I could have a shower at college if I needed to as well, so I

1:24:45 > 1:24:49was quite lucky.Did you feel as if you were trapped at that stage? That

1:24:49 > 1:24:54there were options available to you to get out of that situation?I

1:24:54 > 1:24:59mean, I had a good connection... The good connection with the worker who

1:24:59 > 1:25:05came to visit me when I was in the car and helped me get into the

1:25:05 > 1:25:10hostel. So I was quite lucky, really. But there are a lot of

1:25:10 > 1:25:15people who aren't and they just get left. Sometimes it's because they

1:25:15 > 1:25:19are too scared and they just avoid everything, so they can't be found.

1:25:19 > 1:25:26Thank you very much. We are at the centre in central London throughout

1:25:26 > 1:25:30the morning. A quick line from what the government is doing. You would

1:25:30 > 1:25:34have heard them talking about it in great detail over the last couple of

1:25:34 > 1:25:37months. They say it's a complex issue with no single solution. They

1:25:37 > 1:25:42are committed to halving rough sleeping by 2022, eliminating it by

1:25:42 > 1:25:472027 and they are bringing in the homeless as with the act to try to

1:25:47 > 1:25:50tackle this problem. These centres across the UK are open for

1:25:50 > 1:25:55Christmas, up until about the 30th of December. They aren't just about

1:25:55 > 1:25:58Christmas, they are really about catching people, helping them and

1:25:58 > 1:26:02trying to find solutions to the situations they find themselves in.

1:26:02 > 1:26:05Thank you for now, John, and see you later.

1:26:05 > 1:26:09We've got all too used to bringing you sad stories of animals driven

1:26:09 > 1:26:12to the brink of extinction, so it makes a nice change to tell

1:26:12 > 1:26:17you about this handsome chap - the Javan warty pig.

1:26:17 > 1:26:20The first ever wild footage of the creature has been captured

1:26:20 > 1:26:22by British scientists from Chester Zoo.

1:26:22 > 1:26:25The species is under such threat from hunting and habitat loss that

1:26:25 > 1:26:27conservationists thought it might have already been

1:26:27 > 1:26:35driven to extinction.

1:26:35 > 1:26:40You are one of the people in charge of this work. You looked at the

1:26:40 > 1:26:45footage and there it was.Talk me through it! It was fantastic. We

1:26:45 > 1:26:50didn't really know if that species still existed. A study in 2004 said

1:26:50 > 1:26:5350% of the population had already gone extinct, so we went and thought

1:26:53 > 1:26:58we had to do something about it, we need to save the species. We used

1:26:58 > 1:27:07camera traps to find them...Coming straight up to the camera.At that

1:27:07 > 1:27:10moment we weren't sure whether they were still there are still extinct,

1:27:10 > 1:27:16or could we find them in the wild? No one had footage of these animals.

1:27:16 > 1:27:20So when we found this footage we were so over the moon, we thought it

1:27:20 > 1:27:23was amazing. They are still there are there's still hope for the

1:27:23 > 1:27:28species.Why were people worried that they were extinct?There was an

1:27:28 > 1:27:32interview study based on interviews with local people, asking them, do

1:27:32 > 1:27:38you think they are still there? That's what our assumption was based

1:27:38 > 1:27:44on, but these animals may have gone. But the threat is hunting. We are

1:27:44 > 1:27:52not completely sure yet why they are hunted it --, perhaps for crop

1:27:52 > 1:27:55protection and people shoot them because they don't want them to eat

1:27:55 > 1:27:59their crops, or maybe because people like to hunt them, almost as a

1:27:59 > 1:28:05hobby. They enjoy that. And these are two different scenarios that we

1:28:05 > 1:28:10need to work with and find solutions on how we can protect them.This is

1:28:10 > 1:28:16daytime as well.Yeah.Do we know how many of them there are? We know

1:28:16 > 1:28:23they exist.How many altogether? We don't know. That's the next step of

1:28:23 > 1:28:27our project, finding out how many animals are there.Has that one got

1:28:27 > 1:28:35a tag?This is actually footage from one of our partners in west Java and

1:28:35 > 1:28:41there are two breeding centres and they breed these animals, but there

1:28:41 > 1:28:45are not many. 50- 60 in captivity, but that's it. And in the wild

1:28:45 > 1:28:53widowed or anything, so this is the problem.They are called warty pigs

1:28:53 > 1:28:58because they have warts. What else makes them distinctive?In terms of

1:28:58 > 1:29:05how they look they have different colouration, they are smaller, more

1:29:05 > 1:29:10slender, so they are definitely a distinct species. Otherwise in the

1:29:10 > 1:29:14ecosystem they play the same role. They turn over soil, so quite

1:29:14 > 1:29:20important for the forest ecosystem, but they are quite different.Why do

1:29:20 > 1:29:24they matter to us in Britain? I guess they tell us things we didn't

1:29:24 > 1:29:30know?Of course. We try to do research now on them and studying

1:29:30 > 1:29:34their behaviour and ecology and why they are important. Also it's a

1:29:34 > 1:29:40natural heritage of the Indonesians. They occur only on Java and if they

1:29:40 > 1:29:45are gone they are gone and that's it, so it is also ethical to save

1:29:45 > 1:29:49them, but they do play a role in the ecosystem for sure.Thank you very

1:29:49 > 1:29:54much for sharing your holiday pictures with us!

1:29:54 > 1:29:57Coming up in the next half hour:

1:29:57 > 1:30:00SINGING

1:30:00 > 1:30:04We had a lot of fun bringing the nation together for a festive

1:30:04 > 1:30:06sing song this week.

1:30:06 > 1:30:09We'll take a look back at the highlights.

1:30:09 > 1:30:15Later we will play the choirs and a bit more of you. Shall we hear a

1:30:15 > 1:30:19little bit more? Headlines coming up.

1:31:29 > 1:31:31Hello, this is Breakfast with Tina Daheley and Jon Kay.

1:31:31 > 1:31:33Good morning.

1:31:33 > 1:31:41Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

1:31:41 > 1:31:43Good morning, our first main story,

1:31:43 > 1:31:47A former US marine has been arrested by the FBI on suspicion of planning

1:31:47 > 1:31:49a terror attack in San Francisco on Christmas Day.

1:31:49 > 1:31:52Everitt Aaron Jameson was allegedly planning to target the city's Pier

1:31:52 > 1:31:5439 area, which is popular with tourists.

1:31:54 > 1:31:57The FBI says he had written a letter claiming the attack and making

1:31:57 > 1:32:00reference to President Trump's recent decision to designate

1:32:00 > 1:32:01Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

1:32:01 > 1:32:03One of San Francisco's most popular tourist attractions,

1:32:03 > 1:32:05Pier 39, packed with shops and restaurants.

1:32:05 > 1:32:09The FBI says Everitt Jameson planned to attack the area on Christmas Day.

1:32:09 > 1:32:12Using explosives, he wanted to funnel the crowds into a location

1:32:12 > 1:32:14where he could inflict casualties.

1:32:14 > 1:32:17The alleged plot came to light after someone reported Jameson

1:32:17 > 1:32:19for suspicious activity on Facebook.

1:32:19 > 1:32:25He liked posts sympathetic with the so-called Islamic State

1:32:25 > 1:32:28group, and he voiced support for the Halloween attack

1:32:28 > 1:32:31in New York City when a lorry was driven on to a crowded bike

1:32:31 > 1:32:34path, killing eight people, and the mass shooting

1:32:34 > 1:32:35in San Bernardino in 2015.

1:32:35 > 1:32:36Jameson's home was raided on Wednesday.

1:32:36 > 1:32:38Investigators found several weapons and ammunition,

1:32:38 > 1:32:51and a will.

1:32:51 > 1:32:53Agents believe the attack was to be a suicide mission.

1:32:53 > 1:32:56And there was a note that referred to Donald Trump's recent

1:32:56 > 1:32:58announcement that the US would recognise Jerusalem

1:32:58 > 1:33:00as the capital of Israel.

1:33:00 > 1:33:02It's really unbelievable, it's just hard to fathom right now.

1:33:02 > 1:33:06I really don't know what to say, what, you know, how to feel, really.

1:33:06 > 1:33:07It's just shocking, you know?

1:33:07 > 1:33:08That's my son.

1:33:08 > 1:33:19In a statement, the US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said:

1:33:19 > 1:33:22The FBI says the public in San Francisco were never

1:33:22 > 1:33:23in imminent danger.

1:33:23 > 1:33:26This time, the FBI got his man but the concern is how many

1:33:26 > 1:33:30could there be out there that are not on the FBI's or local

1:33:30 > 1:33:31law enforcement's radar?

1:33:31 > 1:33:33And that's what keeps us up at night.

1:33:33 > 1:33:35The former marine has appeared in court.

1:33:35 > 1:33:37Through his lawyer, he denied the allegations.

1:33:37 > 1:33:40If convicted, he faces a fine and a maximum sentence of 20

1:33:40 > 1:33:48years in prison.

1:33:48 > 1:33:51A man is due in court this morning charged with murdering

1:33:51 > 1:33:53a mother of one as she worked in a supermarket.

1:33:53 > 1:33:56Neville Hord, who is 44, is accused of stabbing 30-year-old

1:33:56 > 1:33:59Jodie Willsher to death at an Aldi store in Skipton,

1:33:59 > 1:34:00North Yorkshire, on Thursday.

1:34:00 > 1:34:04He'll appear before York Magistrates today.

1:34:04 > 1:34:07The United Nations Security Council has passed tough new sanctions

1:34:07 > 1:34:10against North Korea aimed at cutting oil supplies vital for its missile

1:34:10 > 1:34:11and nuclear programs.

1:34:11 > 1:34:14China and Russia voted in favour of the resolution proposed

1:34:14 > 1:34:15by the United States delegation.

1:34:15 > 1:34:182017 has seen North Korea conduct a series of ballistic missile

1:34:18 > 1:34:27launches and enter into a war of words with President Trump.

1:34:27 > 1:34:29Today is the 10th time this council stands united

1:34:29 > 1:34:32against the North Korean regime that rejects the pursuit of peace.

1:34:32 > 1:34:35The Kim regime continues to defy the resolutions of this council,

1:34:35 > 1:34:37the norms of civilised behaviour, and the patience

1:34:37 > 1:34:38of the international community.

1:34:38 > 1:34:41Their arrogance and hostility to anything productive has set

1:34:41 > 1:34:51a country on a destructive path.

1:34:51 > 1:34:54Thousands of miles of A roads in England could be improved,

1:34:54 > 1:34:56following a government consultation which begins today.

1:34:56 > 1:34:59Key routes will be eligible for up to 100 million pounds each

1:34:59 > 1:35:01from the New Roads Fund.

1:35:01 > 1:35:04It would be used for improvements such as new junctions,

1:35:04 > 1:35:05more dual carriageways, and better safety,

1:35:05 > 1:35:09but critics say the cash would be better spent improving the public

1:35:09 > 1:35:16transport network.

1:35:16 > 1:35:20The chimes of Big Ben will ring out over London again from 9 o'clock

1:35:20 > 1:35:22this morning until New Year's Day.

1:35:22 > 1:35:25The bongs were silenced this summer while restoration work takes place

1:35:25 > 1:35:28on Parliament's Elizabeth Tower.

1:35:28 > 1:35:31The repairs on the 157-year-old clock aren't due to be completed

1:35:31 > 1:35:43until 2021.

1:35:43 > 1:35:51we promised you can LeBols, we give you can LeBols. Ben Bong.

1:35:51 > 1:35:53The Cornish holiday home where Daphne du Maurier

1:35:53 > 1:35:56wrote her first novel has been given protected status.

1:35:56 > 1:35:58Du Maurier was just 22 when she started writing

1:35:58 > 1:36:00The Loving Spirit at Ferryside in Bodinnick,

1:36:00 > 1:36:01on the River Fowey.

1:36:01 > 1:36:08It has been given Grade Two listed status.

1:36:08 > 1:36:11For a city so used to producing films about alien invasions,

1:36:11 > 1:36:14it's maybe not surprising that when people in Los Angeles saw

1:36:14 > 1:36:17a mysterious light in the sky last night, talk swiftly turned

1:36:17 > 1:36:23to visitors from another world.

1:36:23 > 1:36:30They thought the movies were coming true. Look at but!

1:36:30 > 1:36:30-- that!

1:36:30 > 1:36:32Thousands of people living in California posted photos

1:36:32 > 1:36:35and videos online of this strange white light that appeared overhead.

1:36:35 > 1:36:37Look at it!

1:36:37 > 1:36:43Could it be a Slee flying through the sky? -- sleigh.

1:36:43 > 1:36:46However, dissapointingly for sci-fi fans the UFO was swiftly claimed

1:36:46 > 1:36:50by SpaceX as one of thier Falcon 9 rockets that had taken off

1:36:50 > 1:37:02from Vandenberg Air Force Base, 150 miles north of LA.

1:37:02 > 1:37:06The famous LA smog which is causing that, do you think? Does Jetstream

1:37:06 > 1:37:13ripple things? I see where they were scared. Of course! Imagine looking

1:37:13 > 1:37:21up and seeing that! It is 7:37 AM. Mike is here with sport. Good

1:37:21 > 1:37:28morning! We have something spectacular in the football last

1:37:28 > 1:37:32night, a great start to the festive fixtures. Arsenal were 0-2 down but

1:37:32 > 1:37:38they came back, three goals in five minutes, extraordinary, against the

1:37:38 > 1:37:44pool, fifth against fourth.

1:37:44 > 1:37:44-- Liverpool.

1:37:44 > 1:37:47It was the first time Arsenal had played Liverpool

1:37:47 > 1:37:50on a Friday night, since the since the title decider,

1:37:50 > 1:37:50back in 1989.

1:37:50 > 1:37:54And although the stakes weren't as high, it was just as dramatic,

1:37:54 > 1:37:55as Drew Savage reports.

1:37:55 > 1:37:58Much had been made of the history of this Friday night fixture.

1:37:58 > 1:38:01The only thing up for grabs tonight, fourth place in the Premier League.

1:38:01 > 1:38:03But these days, that fourth Champions League

1:38:03 > 1:38:04spot is all-important.

1:38:04 > 1:38:06Liverpool and Philippe Coutinho determined to grab it.

1:38:06 > 1:38:09Arsenal were booed off at half-time and Jurgen Klopp's side should

1:38:09 > 1:38:10have had more.

1:38:10 > 1:38:13Mo Salah put them two up in the second half

1:38:13 > 1:38:16but by then, they could have had three or four.

1:38:16 > 1:38:17And the atmosphere at the Emirates changed.

1:38:17 > 1:38:19First, Alexis Sanchez rose to the occasion.

1:38:19 > 1:38:21No celebrations at this stage.

1:38:21 > 1:38:22Arsenal were all business.

1:38:22 > 1:38:27Less than three minutes later, this.

1:38:27 > 1:38:31Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet embarrassed.

1:38:31 > 1:38:34Now, Arsenal celebrated.

1:38:34 > 1:38:37For the home fans, it was to get even better.

1:38:37 > 1:38:40From 2-0 down to 3-2 up in less than five minutes,

1:38:40 > 1:38:41thanks to Mesut Ozil.

1:38:41 > 1:38:43Great entertainment for the neutrals, but both teams

1:38:43 > 1:38:47will be frustrated by the mistakes they made.

1:38:47 > 1:38:49The exposed Petr Chech couldn't keep out Roberto Firmino.

1:38:49 > 1:38:52Regrets on both sides.

1:38:52 > 1:38:55A 3-3 draw not too much help to either manager's European

1:38:55 > 1:38:58hopes, but for many different reasons, a Friday night to remember

1:38:58 > 1:39:04for all concerned.

1:39:04 > 1:39:07Overall, we didn't give up and the spirit in the team

1:39:07 > 1:39:11is absolutely fantastic and you have to acknowledge that and on that

1:39:11 > 1:39:13front, I'm quite proud of the players, who responded

1:39:13 > 1:39:20and showed the strong mentality.

1:39:20 > 1:39:23Usually with Arsenal, if you get a point, that's

1:39:23 > 1:39:24an OK result.

1:39:24 > 1:39:27For most teams in the world, it's pretty unlikely to get it.

1:39:27 > 1:39:31We deserved more, we got only one, but that's how it is and,

1:39:31 > 1:39:39yeah, it feels not too good at the moment.

1:39:39 > 1:39:41Among today's matches, Manchester City take their 11-point

1:39:41 > 1:39:44lead at the top of the table into a home game against Bournemouth,

1:39:44 > 1:39:49who are dangerously close to the relegation zone.

1:39:49 > 1:39:51Graeme Murty says he wants to make himself irreplaceable

1:39:51 > 1:39:54at Rangers, after being given the job of manager until the end

1:39:54 > 1:39:55of the season.

1:39:55 > 1:39:58They've won six games in nine since he took temporary

1:39:58 > 1:40:01charge two months ago, when Pedro Caixinha was sacked.

1:40:01 > 1:40:04Murty said:

1:40:04 > 1:40:07"If I'm good at it and stand out hopefully I can get

1:40:07 > 1:40:08to do it for longer".

1:40:08 > 1:40:11Rangers are away to Kilmarnock today and the big one

1:40:11 > 1:40:12is between the top two.

1:40:12 > 1:40:15Celtic, five points clear at the top, take on Aberdeen,

1:40:15 > 1:40:17and the visitors are confident they can,

1:40:17 > 1:40:19like Hearts, did last week, also cause an upset.

1:40:19 > 1:40:21We know we've got to be our best.

1:40:21 > 1:40:22We know that.

1:40:22 > 1:40:25But we've got a couple of players who can do that.

1:40:25 > 1:40:29We've got a squad that we'll call upon and we will make sure

1:40:29 > 1:40:32we are putting in our best chance to win the game.

1:40:32 > 1:40:36We've done a lot of work and we will make sure we use that

1:40:36 > 1:40:39confidence that the boys have got from the last two performances

1:40:39 > 1:40:41and go into the game looking to get that win.

1:40:41 > 1:40:44England all-rounder Ben Stokes is returning home to the UK

1:40:44 > 1:40:47for what he called "family reasons", after a month-long spell

1:40:47 > 1:40:48with the New Zealand side Canterbury.

1:40:48 > 1:40:51He signed as an overseas player and flew out just

1:40:51 > 1:40:53after England had lost the first Ashes Test,

1:40:53 > 1:40:56sparking speculation he could be about to return to the side,

1:40:56 > 1:41:02but he's still suspended following his arrest in September.

1:41:02 > 1:41:05It was a record-breaking day for Rohit Sharma yesterday

1:41:05 > 1:41:07as he equalled the fastest century in T20 international history.

1:41:07 > 1:41:10He made it in just 35 balls against Sri Lanka -

1:41:10 > 1:41:12the same feat as South Africa's David Miller.

1:41:12 > 1:41:15Rohit was eventually out for 118, a record high T20 score

1:41:15 > 1:41:22for India.

1:41:22 > 1:41:26Premiership rugby union is back this weekend after the European break

1:41:26 > 1:41:28and last night, Worcester Warriors eased their relegation fears,

1:41:28 > 1:41:32beating London Irish to move 10 points clear of them at the bottom

1:41:32 > 1:41:32of the table.

1:41:32 > 1:41:35It finished 23-8, Welsh wing Josh Adams scoring both

1:41:35 > 1:41:41tries for Worcester.

1:41:41 > 1:41:43The defending champion, Michael van Gerwen

1:41:43 > 1:41:46is in frightening form, at the PDC Darts World

1:41:46 > 1:41:47Championship at London's Alexandra Palace.

1:41:47 > 1:41:50He was up against James Wilson,

1:41:50 > 1:41:53known as 'the Lethal Biscuit', but if Wilson was hoping

1:41:53 > 1:41:55'Mighty Mike' would crumble, he was disappointed,

1:41:55 > 1:42:03as van Gerwen won 4-0 to reach the third round.

1:42:03 > 1:42:08If you are wondering about that name, he was known as Jammy Dodger

1:42:08 > 1:42:12but it had to change the now he is the lethal biscuit. I don't do why

1:42:12 > 1:42:14he is lethal.

1:42:14 > 1:42:1716-times champion Phil 'the Power' Taylor plays tonight -

1:42:17 > 1:42:19this is his last championship before he retires -

1:42:19 > 1:42:22and so to look back on his record-breaking career,

1:42:22 > 1:42:24he joined me here in Salford with a few of his celebrity friends

1:42:26 > 1:42:30As he prepared for his last shot at the world title,

1:42:30 > 1:42:33Phil Taylor came to our studios in Salford for some practice

1:42:33 > 1:42:42on the Ochey with some of his most famous friends and fans.

1:42:42 > 1:42:45Like Robbie Williams' dad, Pete, who's used to the lights,

1:42:45 > 1:42:47often appearing on stage with his rockstar son.

1:42:47 > 1:42:51# I'm walking along, singing a song, walking in a Taylor Wonderland...#

1:42:51 > 1:42:54Pete was the first to accept Phil's three dart challenge.

1:42:54 > 1:42:57But just as he was about to sing, because he's winning,

1:42:57 > 1:43:00Phil showed us why he has won 16 world titles.

1:43:00 > 1:43:03Oh, yeah!

1:43:03 > 1:43:07I'm a big darts fans and I'm very lucky that the best man in the world

1:43:07 > 1:43:08is one of my mates.

1:43:08 > 1:43:10You can't get better than that.

1:43:10 > 1:43:11How did you meet initially?

1:43:11 > 1:43:12What was the story?

1:43:12 > 1:43:14We're both from Stoke.

1:43:14 > 1:43:18There's only four of us.

1:43:18 > 1:43:19For me, personally, it was dedication.

1:43:19 > 1:43:20Dedication, dedication.

1:43:20 > 1:43:22I didn't spend the night going clubbing, I stayed in,

1:43:22 > 1:43:25didn't go anywhere, I led a very boring life,

1:43:25 > 1:43:33but it paid off.

1:43:33 > 1:43:37After giving up his job in a pottery industry and winning a first world

1:43:37 > 1:43:41title in 1990, he went on to become so well known he was even given

1:43:41 > 1:43:44a role on Coronation Street as Disco Dave, where he formed

1:43:44 > 1:43:46a friendship with stars like Michael Lavell,

1:43:46 > 1:43:47who plays Kevin Webster.

1:43:47 > 1:43:49Not that his influence rubbed off too much.

1:43:49 > 1:43:4917.

1:43:49 > 1:43:5034.

1:43:50 > 1:43:53Do you want us to move the board down a bit?

1:43:53 > 1:43:54No, no, I'm going...

1:43:54 > 1:43:5617!

1:43:56 > 1:44:00It was never, ever going to be surpassed, do you know what I men?

1:44:00 > 1:44:01-- mean?

1:44:01 > 1:44:02What was it, 16?

1:44:02 > 1:44:0316 times world champion?

1:44:03 > 1:44:06You know, I remember you telling me a story,

1:44:06 > 1:44:08some of his trophies are this big!

1:44:08 > 1:44:11Like the one from America which Phil decided to leave behind.

1:44:11 > 1:44:14So I've looked at the bushes outside and thought, that'll do.

1:44:14 > 1:44:17So I've gone into the bushes, put the trophy inside a bush.

1:44:17 > 1:44:18"Can you see it?"

1:44:18 > 1:44:20"No, I can't see it."

1:44:20 > 1:44:21You never saw it again?

1:44:21 > 1:44:22No, I don't want to.

1:44:22 > 1:44:25It was this big!

1:44:25 > 1:44:29He was inspiring all ages, from the Pride of Britain award

1:44:29 > 1:44:33winners to Radio 4's Sam Fenech, but not even when I summoned up

1:44:33 > 1:44:38the power of four paws could we beat the greatest of all time.

1:44:38 > 1:44:41All right, Phil 'The Power' Taylor, are you retiring from the darts?

1:44:41 > 1:44:42Yes.

1:44:42 > 1:44:45What are you going to do with your days?

1:44:45 > 1:44:47I'm going to be a professional dog walker!

1:44:47 > 1:44:49It's gone in!

1:44:49 > 1:44:51Phil 'The Power' Taylor on the Ochey.

1:44:51 > 1:44:54Go on, have a go, but you're not gonna beat me.

1:44:54 > 1:44:55You've got no chance!

1:44:55 > 1:44:56No chance!

1:44:56 > 1:44:58Oh, no, he's won!

1:44:58 > 1:45:00He's got 180!

1:45:00 > 1:45:04It's great because what they do is they run up to a thing

1:45:04 > 1:45:07and they chuck an arrow at a round thing and it goes in,

1:45:07 > 1:45:10then they drink some beer, then they chuck another arrow

1:45:10 > 1:45:12at a round thing and they drink more beer...

1:45:12 > 1:45:15If Phil doesn't look impressed it's because the sport has changed

1:45:15 > 1:45:18completely now, too much for his liking, which is one

1:45:18 > 1:45:19reason he's retired.

1:45:19 > 1:45:20It's all changed now.

1:45:20 > 1:45:23We would all be friends and have a drink together

1:45:23 > 1:45:25or whatever and socialise with each other.

1:45:25 > 1:45:27Now it's like walking into a doctor's surgery

1:45:27 > 1:45:28and they're all serious.

1:45:28 > 1:45:29So I'm really looking forward.

1:45:29 > 1:45:32There won't be any tears, no, not at all.

1:45:32 > 1:45:33No, I can't wait, I'll be honest.

1:45:33 > 1:45:4130 years, though, it's a long time!

1:45:44 > 1:45:50The end of an era. I love the photo at the end, when he won his first

1:45:50 > 1:45:55title. He went back to his home and everyone came out with their flags

1:45:55 > 1:45:59to celebrate. That was the first of many. In all he has about 220

1:45:59 > 1:46:07professional titles. Incredible. I was just looking up

1:46:07 > 1:46:16our diet names. You would be John the Champ.

1:46:16 > 1:46:25I think I was Mighty 'Mike' Bushell. That's not just darts!

1:46:25 > 1:46:29Thanks.

1:46:29 > 1:46:31Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

1:46:31 > 1:46:34Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

1:46:34 > 1:46:38I will give you a little breast from the Christmas quiz on this one, but

1:46:38 > 1:46:42if you are thinking of your plans for Christmas there's no snow into

1:46:42 > 1:46:51forecast -- a little rest. Mild and cloudy, rain in the north. Some of

1:46:51 > 1:46:58us will get colder by Christmas Day. Out there at the moment the mild is

1:46:58 > 1:47:04dominating. Temperatures today about 13 degrees in the north-east of

1:47:04 > 1:47:09Scotland. Skies cleared through the Vale of York. Even here temperatures

1:47:09 > 1:47:12shoot up once the sun is up and in eastern Scotland and north-east

1:47:12 > 1:47:18England we have the best of the sunny breaks. A wet start in -- in

1:47:18 > 1:47:23Shetland. A lot of cloud, which could be the biggest travel-. In the

1:47:23 > 1:47:28west there is missed and hill fog. Dense at times. There could be fog

1:47:28 > 1:47:33for the Channel Islands as well. Most places will be dry. A bit of

1:47:33 > 1:47:35drizzle in the west. No temperatures, above where they

1:47:35 > 1:47:39should be. Cloud breaks in Gloucestershire and through towards

1:47:39 > 1:47:46Cheshire. Parts of Paris could have 12- 13. 13 possible through the Vale

1:47:46 > 1:47:50of York and north-east England. Sunny spells into the afternoon.

1:47:50 > 1:47:54Greater the west of the Pennines. Cloud breaks in northern islands

1:47:54 > 1:47:59will come and go. 15 possible in Aberdeenshire and the Murray Firth,

1:47:59 > 1:48:03but lots of rain to finish the day in the Highlands, which will move

1:48:03 > 1:48:06down into southern Scotland tonight. It will affect Northern Ireland

1:48:06 > 1:48:11every now and again. It pushes back northwards later, the rain will come

1:48:11 > 1:48:15and go in Scotland through the night. Some of it will be heavy and

1:48:15 > 1:48:19for us all into Christmas Eve it will be a very mild start.

1:48:19 > 1:48:22Temperatures around 8-12 degrees. We've got south-westerly winds

1:48:22 > 1:48:27around. That will cause loads of fog problems in other parts of Western

1:48:27 > 1:48:32Europe, but this wriggling weather front of the northern half of the UK

1:48:32 > 1:48:36on Christmas Eve. In Scotland there will be lots of heavy rain and

1:48:36 > 1:48:39puddles, especially in the west. There could be minor flooding in a

1:48:39 > 1:48:44couple of spots by the end of the day. By the evening it could be into

1:48:44 > 1:48:47the far north-west of England. But that means parts of Scotland

1:48:47 > 1:48:53brighten up. England and Wales, as you were. Lots of cloud, a few

1:48:53 > 1:48:57breaks tomorrow, with more of a breeze, and temperatures above where

1:48:57 > 1:49:00they should be. Of course Christmas Eve a certain gentleman will be

1:49:00 > 1:49:05setting off on his epic journey around the world. The too much snow

1:49:05 > 1:49:11in the North Pole at the moment. -25 as he starts his journey tomorrow

1:49:11 > 1:49:17and heads towards the south Pacific on his first port of call. That cold

1:49:17 > 1:49:21air never quite reaches us on Christmas Day, but things will be

1:49:21 > 1:49:25changing. Starting with rain in southern Scotland and turning wetter

1:49:25 > 1:49:28in northern and western Scotland and Wales on Christmas Day. Quite

1:49:28 > 1:49:33breezy. Not much rain in the east of England. Much of Scotland and

1:49:33 > 1:49:36Northern Ireland will turn brighter later. A few showers in the forecast

1:49:36 > 1:49:41and temperatures dropping. On the hills we could see a future worries

1:49:41 > 1:49:42of snow.

1:49:42 > 1:49:43hills we could see a future worries of snow.

1:49:43 > 1:49:51A little tiny bit. The odd flake. Just a little bit.

1:49:51 > 1:50:01I would take 11 degrees over -25 any day.

1:50:01 > 1:50:05Christmas morning can be an early start, but what about waking up at

1:50:05 > 1:50:095am for a wage which might not reach £8 an hour?

1:50:09 > 1:50:14That's what many people will be doing on Monday as they do every day

1:50:14 > 1:50:18and written's course racing industry depends on them. Respect for the

1:50:18 > 1:50:27stable group has become an issue in racing.

1:50:27 > 1:50:316am, creeping daylight reveals the unsung human heroes of Christmas

1:50:31 > 1:50:36sport. For thousands of grooves like Jacob and Lily, business day will

1:50:36 > 1:50:43always be another working day.Start off anywhere between 5am and 6:30am.

1:50:43 > 1:50:48I look after five horses.They don't know it's Christmas time. They still

1:50:48 > 1:50:53expect their food.We ride them out and put Christmas hats and stuff on.

1:50:53 > 1:50:57I don't know whether they know, but they might enjoy it.Obviously we

1:50:57 > 1:51:02loved animals and myself and Lily obviously have a goal of one-day

1:51:02 > 1:51:09writing.My dream is to be a professional jockey.Boxing Day is

1:51:09 > 1:51:12important for British horse is because there are eight meetings

1:51:12 > 1:51:18around the country on December 26. In total in Britain there are about

1:51:18 > 1:51:2114,000 racehorses in training and all of them need that day-to-day

1:51:21 > 1:51:26care and attention from a professional. It's what can and do

1:51:26 > 1:51:35we did. He died in October looking after a horse. -- Ken Dooley. Racing

1:51:35 > 1:51:39simply relies on the grooms. The boss of this yard knows it.It's

1:51:39 > 1:51:46hard work, cold weather, coming in in the dark to go home in the dark.

1:51:46 > 1:51:51I did it myself for years I know what it's like. I started as a lad.

1:51:51 > 1:51:56It is hard work for not a lot of money. It's a way of life and that's

1:51:56 > 1:52:00all you can describe it as. They do it for the love of the job.This is

1:52:00 > 1:52:06the reward. An icy hillsides grooves riding out, exercising the horses

1:52:10 > 1:52:14days.

1:52:14 > 1:52:17Snow in The Cotswolds at least a couple of days ago. Probably all

1:52:17 > 1:52:23gone now for Christmas. That was Joe Wilson reporting.

1:52:23 > 1:52:29Big Ben's iconic bongs will return today to ring in the festive period.

1:52:29 > 1:52:35A beautiful sight across London this morning. The sun is starting to

1:52:35 > 1:52:44rise. You can see the scaffolding around it. They've been doing works.

1:52:44 > 1:52:52Big Ben fell silent for a few months. But!

1:52:52 > 1:53:00It will resume its hourly chimes from 9am this morning until they. --

1:53:00 > 1:53:01until New Year's Day.

1:53:13 > 1:53:18called Elizabeth Taylor, but more affectionately known as Big Ben --

1:53:18 > 1:53:23Elizabeth Tower. Tourists haven't been able to experience the full

1:53:23 > 1:53:28effects of Big Ben since August because it hasn't been bonging away

1:53:28 > 1:53:31since August because extensive renovations are being carried out on

1:53:31 > 1:53:35the clock tower to bring it back into the 21st century. For them to
