Hello, this is Breakfast
with Roger Johnson. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Storms and rail strikes in store
as the UK prepares to bring | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
in the New Year. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
A 24-hour walkout is under way
on South Western and CrossCountry | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
services causing
cancellations and delays. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
In Edinburgh, Hogmanay
celebrations have already begun. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Organisers say tonight's main event
will go ahead as planned | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
despite the arrival of Storm Dylan. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:38 | |
Good morning. Its Northern Ireland,
southern Scotland and northern | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
England that will bear the brunt of
the damaging winds from Storm Dylan. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:48 | |
I will show you the full forecast in
the next 15 minutes. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Good morning - it's
Sunday 31st December. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
New Year's Eve. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:05 | |
Also this morning: | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Two demonstrators are reported
to have been shot dead in Iran | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
as anti-government protests spread
across the country. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
A tax threat to internet firms. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
The security minister says Facebook
and Google could face penalties - | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
if they don't do more
to tackle terrorism. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:26 | |
In sport, more misery for Mourinho,
claiming his Manchester side were | 0:01:26 | 0:01:35 | |
denied a clear penalty. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:38 | |
First, our main story. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
Winds of up to 80 mph
and a series of rail strikes | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
are threatening to cause disruption
as the UK prepares to see | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
in the New Year. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
The Met Office is warning of flying
debris and damage to buildings | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
as Storm Dylan hits Northern Ireland
and parts of southern Scotland, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
while a 24-hour walk out could hit
passengers on CrossCountry | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
and South Western rail services. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
But hundreds of thousands of people
are still expected to take | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
to the streets to celebrate,
as Simon Clemison reports. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:12 | |
Why have one night of celebration
when you can have to? With this | 0:02:12 | 0:02:19 | |
torchlit parade, Hogmanay is already
under way in Edinburgh. Our 24 | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
Vikings have travelled down from the
Shetlands, long boat journey, and | 0:02:24 | 0:02:30 | |
we're here to basically warm things
up a bit. In London as in Scotland | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
security is key but despite for
terror attacks this year, there will | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
be fewer officers on duty per
tonight's huge fireworks display but | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
the Met insists the numbers are
right. People will be remembering | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
those who have died and those who
were injured in those attacks we | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
have the policing for quite a long
time now and our experience of doing | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
that means our tactics and our way
of mitigating those threats has | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
developed along the way. But will
people be able to get there? Delays | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
and cancellations are expected on
south-western Railway and Cross | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
country because of the strike.
South-western says it thinks it will | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
be able to run three quarters of
trains. The only question remaining, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
the weather. Edinburgh has already
enjoyed some fireworks but gusts of | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
80 miles per hour are predicted
across areas of Scotland and | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Northern Ireland. The warnings of
the metal to stop by the afternoon | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
but the dying hours of 2017 are
making their presence felt. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
Simon Clemison is at
London Waterloo, normally one | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
of the UK's busiest stations. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:44 | |
A bit different today. This is, as
you say, the UK's biggest rail | 0:03:44 | 0:03:50 | |
station. You have to take my word
fruit because it is Sunday morning | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
and its clients. Strike or no
strike. -- take my word for it. This | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
is where we can feel the effects
because this is where south-western | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
railway trains run and Londoners
were tens of thousands of people | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
will be heading to those big parties
down on the Thames. Let us look at | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
the boards. It's very early but
things are leaving as normal at the | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
moment. It is a 24- hour walkout
with workers from CrossCountry as | 0:04:17 | 0:04:23 | |
well. Reduced to in Newcastle in
Edinburgh, no services between | 0:04:23 | 0:04:29 | |
Glasgow and Aberdeen. The disruption
depends on the services the company | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
manages to run. You might find the
trains that run our busy. This | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
dispute is about many things not
least the role of the guard which | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
we've heard so much about in recent
times but with disruption, more | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
disruption, the weather, everything
else, you might think 2018 can't | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
come soon enough. Thank you very
much indeed. We will monitor | 0:04:50 | 0:04:56 | |
developments during the course of
the morning. Always conscious not to | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
overrate these things but Storm
Dylan is expected to cause problems | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
later. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
Matt, good morning. Is that an
ominous portent, that photograph? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
A little bit the sum. Storm Dylan is
approaching. Strong winds across | 0:05:13 | 0:05:19 | |
many areas at the moment,
particularly across the English | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
Channel but the strongest of the
winds today will be closer to Storm | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
Dylan which is just to the north of
Northern Ireland. We have seen winds | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
up to 70 miles per hour along the
North Coast. Enough to cause some | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
damage and flying debris. Certainly
some disruption. It would transfer | 0:05:37 | 0:05:44 | |
to parts of southern Scotland and
northern England. The peak of the | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
wind this morning. Anywhere really
across Northern Ireland in southern | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
Scotland, northern England, if a
purpose and travel disruption. | 0:05:54 | 0:06:00 | |
Things will improve weatherwise into
the afternoon. The full forecast | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
coming up in the next ten minutes.
Matt Taylor is keeping an eye on | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
Storm Dylan for us. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
The Security Minister Ben Wallace
has said the government should | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
consider taxing internet firms
unless they are more willing | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
to co-operate in tackling the threat
of terrorism in the UK. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
In an interview in The Sunday Times, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
Mr Wallace said technology fims that
refused the security services access | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
to encrypted messages
were "turning the internet | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
into an anarchic, violent space." | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Adding, "We should stop pretending
that because they sit | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
on beanbags in T-shirts they are not
ruthless profiteers." | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Google and Facebook are yet
to respond to the remarks. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:46 | |
Two demonstrators are reported
to have been shot dead in Iran | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
as anti-government protests spread
throughout the country, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
reaching the capital, Tehran. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
The wave of unrest
which began last week, | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
is the most serious since
the authorities suppressed months | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
of protests in 2009. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:04 | |
Jon Ironmonger reports. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
A crack of gunshots as panic ripples
the a crowd in the western city | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
Daroud. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:12 | |
Later, a wounded man is carried
through the streets. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
It is being reported
that two protesters have | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
been killed following an escalation
of violence and three | 0:07:17 | 0:07:24 | |
days of unrest. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
Late into the night,
demonstrators attacked targets | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
with links to the government
and the ruling clerical elite. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
In Karamabad, the governor's
office was burned. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
In the northern city of a Mashad,
police motorbikes were set alight | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
while crowds taunted
the security services. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
What started as a provincial
process about rocketing | 0:07:44 | 0:07:54 | |
prices has become deeply political
and moved to the capital Tehran, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
where officers were pelted with
stones near the main university. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
Riot police were used
to quell the disturbance. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:09 | |
This video shows a baby
being taken to hospital, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
apparently suffering
from the effects of tear gas. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
It is thought the Iranian
authorities have reacted by cutting | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
access to the Internet in many
cities, especially to mobile phones | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
and Instagram, which had become
hugely popular in Iran, | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
is now said to be inaccessible. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:29 | |
Iranian officials have vowed
on state TV to double their efforts | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
to resolve the economic
problems and ploughed ahead | 0:08:32 | 0:08:38 | |
with commemorative pro-government
rallies on Saturday. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
But further protests are expected
over the coming days and experts | 0:08:39 | 0:08:49 | |
say opposing the Islamic republic
will be a colossal challenge. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Do not underestimate the reggressive
capability of the Revolutionary | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Guards, the resiliency
of the Islamic Republic. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
This regime is well
institutionalised in Iran and can | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
deal with protest movement such
as the one that we have witnessed | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
in the past few days. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:06 | |
Iran's ultraconservative regime
is facing its biggest threat | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
in nearly a decade, but what lengths
will it go to to survive? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:20 | |
Political leaders have been
reflecting on the past 12 months | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
in their New Year's messages,
with Theresa May calling 2017 | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
a "year of progress" for the UK. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said
the hope of a new Britain | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
is closer than ever. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
With more here's our
political correspondent, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
Emma Vardy. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:41 | |
After a political year dominated by
Brexit, it's no surprise the subject | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
played a key part in Theresa May's
New Year's message. She said the | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
government has pursued our Brexit
eggs -- objectives with steady | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
purpose and progress will continue
in 2018 as the talks move on to | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
trade. But not for the first time
Theresa May made clear she wants to | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
be more than Madame Brexit. Making
success of Brexit is crucial but it | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
will not be the limit of our
ambitions. We also have to carry on | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
making a difference here and now on
the issues that matter to people's | 0:10:12 | 0:10:24 | |
daily lives. That means building an
economy fit for the future and | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
taking a balanced approach to
government spending. So we get our | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
debt falling but can also invest in
the things that matter. Our schools, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
our police and a precious NHS.
Theresa May says next year will | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
continue to fight against all forms
of extremism and she believes 2018 | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
can be a year of renewed pride in
our country. Meanwhile, the tone of | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
Jeremy Corbyn's address was rather
different. He said we are being held | 0:10:46 | 0:10:51 | |
back by a self-serving elite and
pointed to the Games Labour made at | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
the general election, saying this
was a year when people said no more. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
The old political consensus is
finished. We are staking out the new | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
centre ground in British politics,
backing the things that most people | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
want but are blocked by vested
interests. We are a government in | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
waiting while the Conservatives are
weak, divided and stuck in an | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
outdated raft with no new ideas. The
hope of a new Britain run in the | 0:11:15 | 0:11:23 | |
interests of the many, not the few,
seems closer than ever before. The | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
New Year message is brought to a
close what has been politically | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
dramatic 12 months. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
Firefighters in Manchester have been
praised for their "heroic" work | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
after they brought a huge blaze
in an apartment block under control. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
A 23-year-old man was taken
to hospital suffering | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
from smoke inhalation. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:43 | |
The fire service said flames had
spread over multiple floors | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
in the 12-storey building via wooden
balconies and no external | 0:11:46 | 0:11:52 | |
cladding was involved. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
Criminal gangs who claim benefits
under a false identity are to be | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
targeted by the government
using artificial intelligence. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
The Department for Work and Pensions
says it will use sophisticated | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
computer programming
to identify organised attacks. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
Ian Palmer reports. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:17 | |
Job centre plus staff identify
suspicious benefit fraud in | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
individuals but it's much harder to
notice board patterns of behaviour | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
across thousands of benefit
applications. An indication of | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
organised criminal activity. Often,
gangs making repeated applications | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
using fake identities tend to leave
traces such as using the same phrase | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
when stating what they've done to
try and find work. By monitoring | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
thousands of applications using
artificial intelligence it should be | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
easier to detect organised benefit
fraud. What we will be able to do | 0:12:46 | 0:12:53 | |
using AI is identify some of those
networks, for example, see patterns | 0:12:53 | 0:12:58 | |
of behaviour like shared addresses
or the same telephone numbers being | 0:12:58 | 0:13:03 | |
used. They will be able to identify
that more easily in a way that will | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
enable us to stop that from
happening and protect taxpayers' | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
money. The artificial intelligence
software has been developed by the | 0:13:12 | 0:13:18 | |
Department for Work and Pensions.
The idea has been put through a | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
series of trials. The DWP says the
computer programme will be slowly | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
rolled out across the country.
Introducing the technology is an | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
attempt to recoup more of the £3
billion paid by mistake or | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
fraudulently claimed each year. The
changes will affect people who claim | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
Universal Credit, jobseeker 's
allowance and personal independent | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
payments. Ian Palmer, BBC News. The
snow we have enjoyed in recent weeks | 0:13:41 | 0:13:53 | |
has been enjoyed by some. They have
a look at these pictures. These are | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
from the largest ice sculpture
Festival in the world, taking place | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
in China and it took more than
10,000 members of staff to construct | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
the 2000 sculptures. Each recreates
famous landmark and is made from ice | 0:14:04 | 0:14:10 | |
harvested from a frozen river in the
north of the country. Spectacular. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:17 | |
Let's take a look at the Sunday
papers. The Sunday Telegraph, credit | 0:14:26 | 0:14:31 | |
card fees and to backfire on
shoppers, this is talking about | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
businesses getting around rules by
raising prices and introducing | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
stealth charges, the Sunday
Telegraph is talking about art, and | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
there is a cheerleader with a
marching band from Louisiana, the | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
photograph fair, they will take part
in the New Year's Day Parade in | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
Trafalgar Square. Tomorrow, we no
doubt will report on the program. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
The Observer, Chris Grayling must
quit, says Lord Adonis, as he slams | 0:14:55 | 0:15:02 | |
the broken Brexit government, he is
talking about the minister under | 0:15:02 | 0:15:08 | |
fire over the bailouts to the east
Coast rail services. We will quickly | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
get through a couple more if we can,
the Sunday Times, the Eagle has been | 0:15:11 | 0:15:18 | |
back in training, involved in the
new Year celebrations in London, | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
that is the picture. The story we
have been reporting about, Ben | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
Wallace the Security minister
talking about a small tax hit first | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
of the internet companies if they
don't do more to stop terrorism. And | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
to some of the tabloids, the UK
border files. But the Mail on | 0:15:33 | 0:15:39 | |
Sunday. A bizarre plan to enlist
volunteers. Super Jupp to conquer | 0:15:39 | 0:15:47 | |
the flu is the claim in the Sunday
express. -- jab. And the Sunday | 0:15:47 | 0:15:53 | |
Mirror claims an exclusive of a mum
who was injured in the Manchester | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
bombing back in May at Manchester
Arena who has given birth to a | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
little baby, her mother sadly passed
away in the terror attack earlier | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
this year. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
It's 6:16 and you're watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
The main stories this morning: | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
New Year celebrations are expected
to go ahead in Edinburgh tonight | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
and in other cities,
despite winds of 80 mph threatening | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
to cause disruption. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:25 | |
Three days of growing
anti-government protest in Iran have | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
turned violent, two demonstrators
are reported to have been shot dead. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:34 | |
Here's Matt with a look
at this morning's weather. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:40 | |
Good morning to you, it will cause a
bit of a problem to some people, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:46 | |
Storm Dylan? Not ideal to New Year's
Eve if people are on the move better | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
good morning to you, the Met Office
haven't and that whether a let | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
strong potentially damaging winds
across northern island, southern | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Scotland. They have already been
picking up over the last hour and 20 | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
minutes we have seen gusts at Darwin
had -- Malin head. Fairly gusty | 0:17:02 | 0:17:09 | |
there. Wherever you are across the
UK, be prepared for blustery | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
conditions, the strongest are tied
to this hook of clout, it is called | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
Storm Dylan and you can see this
curl north of Northern Ireland so | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
wind maybe 70 or 80 miles an hour
over the next hour or two of the | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
strong winds this morning will
transfer into southern Scotland | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
through the central belt so these
areas are most prone to the damaging | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
gusts of wind, those with disruptive
winds really anywhere across | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
northern Olins, southern Scotland
and Ireland but rain is also pushing | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
across northern island becoming
widespread across the paths of | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
Scotland into mid-morning. Snow over
the Grampians, the Southern | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
Highlands. The winds will be picking
up in northern England but a bright | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
start here, heavy rain at the moment
across East Anglia, southern England | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
at 9am it for become confined to the
south and east of London. Strong | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
winds through the English Channel
but quickly brightening over the | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
next few hours once the clown and
rain cleared in the south-west and | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
Wales. For showers get going into
the afternoon, some becoming heavy, | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
thundery and widespread, the
strongest of the winds will ease | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
into the afternoon, still blustery
for many areas into the afternoon | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
but actually calmer conditions
compared to yesterday, rain, sleet | 0:18:21 | 0:18:27 | |
and Telstra in Scotland, scuttling
showers into the west, sunshine | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
elsewhere. Temperatures down on
yesterday 's recall feeling into the | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
evening, take a warm jacket if you
are out to celebrate, hopefully | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
waterproof as well. Some of you will
see the new year in a dry note, | 0:18:38 | 0:18:45 | |
eastern Scotland through to Wales
into Central southern England, but | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
as you go into New Year's Day keep
an eye on this, this the storm | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
system which will effect many fronts
but it will go close to southern | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
coast silicates are heavy rain and
gusty wind, certainly to New Year's | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
Day, the Channel Islands, southern
coastal counties, big uncertainty as | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
to how far north it will get,
showers pushing through northern | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
Ireland, England into the day wintry
over the higher ground, cool winds | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
across the country but a lot of
sometime New Year's Day to a great | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
day to get out and I suppose clear
the head after the previous | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
night's... Fun. Into Tuesday, we get
back to work, a call and frosty | 0:19:18 | 0:19:24 | |
start, some snow over northern hills
as a band of rain elsewhere spreads | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
its way from west to east, allowing
sunshine to return later. I will | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
have more updates over the morning.
Back to you. Thank you, match. Let's | 0:19:32 | 0:19:39 | |
catch up with sport. New Year's Eve
is a busy time in the festive | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
programme, and Kat is with us. Good
morning. Morning. Jose Mourinho, has | 0:19:42 | 0:19:49 | |
he given up? According to him he
gave up ages ago and all of a sudden | 0:19:49 | 0:19:55 | |
he will say the fight is on and then
he will say we have no chance and | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
back on again but to be fair, do not
think anyone has a chance of winning | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
the title apart from Manchester City
in their current form but not so | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
long ago it was Manchester United
seemed to be the only to protect | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
them back but now it is Chelsea who
has leapfrogged over not just | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
United, they have had a run of four
consecutive games without a win and | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
the heat has been turned down on
Manchester City -- leapfrogged over | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
Manchester United. Good morning. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
So Jose Mourinho isn't a happy man
and his Manchester United side have | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
now lost further ground
on the league leaders | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Manchester City after a goalless
draw against Southampton. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Chelsea have overtaken them
and moved up to second | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
with their 5-0 thrashing of Stoke,
which is where Alex South | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
starts his round-up
of yesterday's action. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
Chelsea rounded off 2017 in some
style. COMMENTATOR: Brilliance! The | 0:20:43 | 0:20:49 | |
champions demolished Stoke City 5-
the row to make it five wins from | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
the last six games and push stoke
further towards trouble. Today, we | 0:20:54 | 0:21:00 | |
finished a great year for us. Former
players, for the club, for the fans, | 0:21:00 | 0:21:07 | |
especially for me because my first
experience in the new league in | 0:21:07 | 0:21:14 | |
England and to win the title is not
easy. They now trade leaders | 0:21:14 | 0:21:21 | |
Manchester City by 13 points better
off to second courtesy of Manchester | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
United failing to defeat
Southampton. It wasn't a good David | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
Jose Mourinho as he saw Romelu
Lukaku stretchered off early on and | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
later saw the referee waves away
what he thought was a certain | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
penalty. Wasn't it? He clearly
struck him on the arm. OK. Have you | 0:21:37 | 0:21:43 | |
spoken with the officials? Yeah, but
for what? For what? Liverpool were | 0:21:43 | 0:21:51 | |
up to fourth as Mohammed Sulla
scored his 16th and 17th league | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
goals of the season to help the Reds
come from behind to win against | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
Leicester, the only negative being
that he limped off later on. At the | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
other end of the table there was
plenty of late drama, Burma scored | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
an 88 minute winner against Everton
to move out of the bottom three and | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
Swansea but even later as they will
completed a remarkable turnaround | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
against Watford, scoring in the 86
and 90th minute. Sacked last week by | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
Sheffield Wednesday, celebrating his
new side's victory six days later, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
Carlos, how will tell you that a
week is a long time input all, let | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
alone one year. Alex Howes, BBC
News. Pretty good goals and there, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:38 | |
would there? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
Elsewhere, the matches
between Huddersfield and Burnley | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
and Newcastle and Brighton
finished goalless. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:42 | |
There's two matches
in the Premier League today - | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
West Brom take on Arsenal but before
that, leaders Manchester City visit | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
Crystal Palace. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:48 | |
A win would not only take them 16
points clear at the top | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
but would also see manager
Pep Guardiola equal his own record | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
in Europe's top division for 19
consecutive victories. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
Palace, though, will have
plenty to play for - | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
they're only just out
of the relegation zone | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
on goal difference. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:09 | |
Against Crystal Palace, if you win
3-0 or a distance of three goals | 0:23:09 | 0:23:16 | |
anything could happen to the end and
that is why I said to the players | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
just after the game, be ready, still
focused because we have a tough, | 0:23:20 | 0:23:26 | |
tough, tough game next 31st in there
because we have, they are a team | 0:23:26 | 0:23:33 | |
that can create a lot of things to
themselves. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
Celtic go into the winter break
with an 8-point lead over Aberdeen | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
at the top of the Scottish
Premiership after the Old Firm derby | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
ended in stalemate. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:44 | |
Brendan Rodgers' side had the best
of it in the first half | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
with Scott Sinclair twice
missing good chances. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
But in the second half,
Rangers were denied by some | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
brilliant saves from Craig Gordon. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:53 | |
They stay in third, 11
points behind the leaders. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
Elsewhere there were wins
for Hamilton, Partick and Dundee. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Serena Williams was back
on a tennis court yesterday, | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
less than four months after giving
birth to her daughter. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
She was playing in an exhibition
match in Abu Dhabi against | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
the Latvian Jelena Ostapenko. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Williams lost the match in three
sets but said she was really proud | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
of being able to compete. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
She hadn't played since winning her
23rd major singles title | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
at January's Australian Open,
which she won while eight weeks | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
pregnant. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:28 | |
I think that is just an absolutely
outstanding effort from Serena | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
Williams. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
Northampton Saints have now lost 11
games in all competitions | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
after they were thrashed 50 points
to 21 in rugby union's Premiership. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
Danny Care scored twice as Quins
turned on the style in front | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
of a crowd of more than
70,000 at Twickenham. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
Elsewhere there were wins
for Saracens, Newcastle, | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
and Gloucester. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
In the Pro 14, Glasgow Warriors
were 3-0 up against Edinburgh just | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
before half-time when the Scotstoun
Stadium had to be evacuated | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
because of a fire alarm. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
There was a half hour delay
and Glasgow went on to win 17-0. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
Lee Jones scored the
only try of the game. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
Phil 'the Power' Taylor will go
for his 17th world title in his last | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
ever match in professional darts
tomorrow night as he made it | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
through to the final
of the PDC World Championship. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Taylor beat the impressive
qualifier, Welshman Jamie Lewis, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
by six frames to one
in the semifinals at Ally Pally. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
He won his first title back in 1990
but this is Taylor's last | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
event before retirement. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:29 | |
But he'll have to beat Rob Cross,
the man who pulled off a major shock | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
in the other semifinal to knock out
the reigning champion and world | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
number one Michael van Gerwen. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Van Gerwen missed six darts to win,
but in one of the greatest matches | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
ever seen at Ally Pally,
the 20th seed came back to win it | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
in the deciding leg of the 11th
set at gone midnight. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
It's the first time Cross has played
at the PDC Championship. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:54 | |
Apparently it is his first year in
professional darts. Nerves of steel! | 0:25:54 | 0:26:00 | |
Phil is his hero and he is meeting
him in the final, not only the | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
final... He could spoil the
fairytale ending, couldn't he? Not | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
only the final but it is still
Taylor's last... It is the fairytale | 0:26:09 | 0:26:14 | |
final. Fantastic. One to watch. Kat,
thank you. It is 6:26 AM. If you | 0:26:14 | 0:26:24 | |
have been watching over the festive
period, you will know that we have | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
been bringing people together. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
People who haven't | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
necessarily agreed over the last
year to see if they can sort | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
out their differences. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
Today, we're talking about the best
way to solve the housing crisis | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
with architect Dr Frances Holliss
and Jonn Elledge, the editor | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
of urban planning
magazine CityMetric. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |
Hello. Hello, John, nice to meet
you. Should we? Let's go up. This is | 0:26:47 | 0:26:56 | |
very posh, this. It is very posh! We
have some presence. It is all very | 0:26:56 | 0:27:03 | |
fancy. Marvellous, very nice, good
to be, and every something written | 0:27:03 | 0:27:08 | |
on it. It says the green belt
sacrosanct or stifling? Stifling | 0:27:08 | 0:27:16 | |
precisely because it is so
sacrosanct that these rules and land | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
use that were set in the 1950s are
still kind of dictating where we can | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
and can't build today and in a city
with a housing crisis is deep and is | 0:27:25 | 0:27:30 | |
ruinous as London's I no longer am
convinced it is the right choice of | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
policy. I think that the housing
crisis is not really about land, I | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
think, you know, that is what I
think, that actually if you look at | 0:27:39 | 0:27:46 | |
- if you look at the statistics, we
have 600,000 plots of land with | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
planning permission for housing
granted and the real problem we have | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
got is the housing market. And the
thing about land is it is | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
interesting because it is completely
finite resource. And as a finite | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
resource it means that people who
buy it can sit on it and wait until | 0:28:01 | 0:28:06 | |
the price goes as high as they like.
Should we say what one says? Let's | 0:28:06 | 0:28:14 | |
see what it says. Christmas delivery
250,000 more homes built every year. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:20 | |
Thank you, Fanta. Delivered each
year? It would marvellous, my lord, | 0:28:20 | 0:28:28 | |
how much money they would make. It
would almost be marvellous of the | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
people who have homes and don't have
them. Overcrowding is an enormous | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
problem. People are now sharing with
friends with no living room into | 0:28:36 | 0:28:40 | |
their 30s, people are stuck living
at their parents which isn't much | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
fun for the parent either. This is
because of affordability not because | 0:28:43 | 0:28:47 | |
of the lack of housing. You are
talking as if those are two | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
different things. They are. They are
slightly discrete complex not... Not | 0:28:51 | 0:28:56 | |
in the current housing market. So we
are going to swap presents. This has | 0:28:56 | 0:29:01 | |
been lovely. Happy Christmas. Should
be open and together? I am thinking | 0:29:01 | 0:29:07 | |
it is a house. You have a green
belt. How lovely. See, this is a | 0:29:07 | 0:29:16 | |
perfect example of things that we
shouldn't be putting into houses. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
And I have a house. I just feel of
the luck is against me here. You | 0:29:19 | 0:29:24 | |
have the tree and I - but this is
the way the housing works, the | 0:29:24 | 0:29:29 | |
houses go to the one to have the
houses and the tree goes to the | 0:29:29 | 0:29:33 | |
person who hasn't got the house. Oh,
well, Merry Christmas. Happy | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
Christmas. We could swap. You see,
this is the solution. There we are, | 0:29:36 | 0:29:46 | |
trying to sort the housing crisis
out. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:48 | |
Stay with us. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:48 | |
A summary of the news is coming up. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Roger Johnson. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
Good morning, here's a summary
of today's main stories from BBC | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
News. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:34 | |
Winds of up to 80-miles an hour
and a series of rail strikes | 0:30:34 | 0:30:38 | |
are threatening to cause disruption
as the UK prepares to see | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
in the New Year. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:42 | |
Members of the RMT union
are staging a 24-hour walk out | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
which will affect passengers
on CrossCountry and South Western | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
Railways. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:48 | |
Services from London Waterloo,
the UK's busiest station, | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
are also affected. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:51 | |
With hundreds of thousands of people
expected to take part | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
in celebrations, security services
and the police are urging people | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
to be vigilant. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:57 | |
Depite four terror attacks this
year, there will be fewer officers | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
on duty in London at
the New Year's Eve fireworks | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
but Scotland Yard says the numbers
are "proportionate" and reflect | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
the threat level, which
remains at "severe". | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
Well we can get more on what we can
expect from Storm Dylan today. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
Matt has the details. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:18 | |
Not not a great | 0:31:18 | 0:31:19 | |
Not not a great start to New Year's
Eve. The strongest of the winds will | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
be closer to the centre of Storm
Dylan. There it is on the pressure | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
chart. The strongest part. It's
across Northern Ireland. The next | 0:31:26 | 0:31:32 | |
few hours will see wind
strengthened. That's enough to cause | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
some damage, flying debris.
Certainly travel disruption. The | 0:31:36 | 0:31:41 | |
strongest winds through the coming
hours will spread into parts of | 0:31:41 | 0:31:45 | |
Scotland and northern England. The
wind enough to cause some damage and | 0:31:45 | 0:31:49 | |
disruption but things will gradually
improve through the day. A full | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
forecast coming up just after seven. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
The Security Minister Ben Wallace
has said the government should | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
consider taxing internet firms -
unless they are more willing | 0:31:58 | 0:32:04 | |
to co-operate in tackling the threat
of terrorism in the UK. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
(TX VIZ) In an interview
in The Sunday Times, | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
-- In an interview
in The Sunday Times, | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
Mr Wallace said technology fims that
refused the security services access | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
to encrypted messages
were "turning the internet | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
into an anarchic, violent space." | 0:32:21 | 0:32:22 | |
Adding, "We should stop pretending
that because they sit | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
on beanbags in T-shirts they are not
ruthless profiteers." | 0:32:25 | 0:32:31 | |
Google and Facebook are yet
to respond to the remarks. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
Two demonstrators are reported
to have been shot dead in Iran | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
as anti-government protests spread
throughout the country, | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
reaching the capital, Tehran. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:43 | |
The wave of unrest
which began last week, | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
is the most serious since
the authorities suppressed months | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
of protests in 2009. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:48 | |
Demonstrators have been heard
shouting slogans in support | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
of the Shah and the Iranian royal
family for the first time | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
since the Islamic
Revolution 40 years ago. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:57 | |
Political leaders have been
reflecting on the past 12 months | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
in their New Year's messages,
with Theresa May calling 2017 | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
a "year of progress" for the UK. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:11 | |
The Prime Minister said
the British people will feel | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
"renewed confidence
and pride" in 2018. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:25 | |
The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn
said the hope of a "new Britain" | 0:33:25 | 0:33:29 | |
is "closer than ever" and his party
is a "government in waiting". | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
It's been a turbulent year
in politics, from Theresa May's snap | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
election that backfired
so spectacularly, to continuing | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
tussles with the EU over Brexit. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:38 | |
Ellie Price reviews the year
in British politics. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
The headlines this morning -
Theresa May's decision to call | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
a general election appears
to have backfired. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
It was with reluctance that
I decided the country needs... | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
The Prime Minister spells
out her strategic goals. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:00 | |
Conversatives are the largest party. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:01 | |
History has been made. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:02 | |
Article 50 has been triggered. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
Brexit negotiations in a shambles! | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
Hear, hear! | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
SIGHS. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
I WAS BORN UNDER
A WANDERING STAR PLAYS. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:21 | |
2017 was shaped by what happened
when a pretty influential | 0:34:21 | 0:34:26 | |
person went for a nice,
long walk in the countryside and had | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
a little think about things. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
That was, of course, Theresa May,
who went on a hike with her husband | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
in April and came back thinking it
would be a jolly good idea | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
to call a general election. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
The decision made on that little
stroll defined the year. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
But plenty happened
in the months running up to it. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
The 2017 journey started,
as we all expected, with Brexit. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
Are we going to get a detailed
plan, Prime Minister? | 0:34:51 | 0:34:56 | |
Only a few days shy of the EU
referendum's six-month anniversary, | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
Theresa May made a speech
at Lancaster House. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
It became known as the
Lancaster House Speech. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
Setting out a blueprint of her main
objectives for Brexit negotiations. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
As a priority, we will pursue a bold
and ambitious free trade agreement | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
with the European Union. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
The days of Britain making vast
contributions to the European Union | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
every year will end. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
No deal for Britain is better
than a bad deal for Britain. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
The PM confirmed Britain would come
out of the EU single market | 0:35:31 | 0:35:36 | |
but there would be a transition
period from EU membership | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
to whatever is agreed after. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:40 | |
And she said Parliament would be
given a vote on a final deal. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:44 | |
But it was Parliament getting a say
on the start of negotiating that | 0:35:44 | 0:35:48 | |
deal which was the big news
a few days later. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
Gina Miller! | 0:35:50 | 0:35:51 | |
The Government got taken to court
for wanting to trigger Article 50, | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
the mechanism to leave the EU,
without having to ask MPs first. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
By a majority of 8-3,
the Supreme Court rules | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
that the Government cannot trigger
Article 50 without an act of | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
Parliament authorising it to do so. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:10 | |
No Prime Minister, no
Government, can expect to be | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
unanswerable or unchallenged. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:21 | |
Parliament alone is sovereign! | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
And Parliament was given that very
vote a few weeks later. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
The ayes to the right, 494. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
The noes to the left, 122. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:32 | |
Hear, hear! | 0:36:32 | 0:36:36 | |
An historic vote today. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:37 | |
And it got through by a large
majority at every turn. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
It has carried out the will
of the British people. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
The stage was set, then,
and on the 29th of March, | 0:36:43 | 0:36:50 | |
Article 50 was triggered. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:51 | |
This is an historic moment
from which there can | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
be no turning back. | 0:36:54 | 0:37:00 | |
And all it took was a short letter
delivered by hand to Brussels, | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
signed by Theresa May -
though you might not know it | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
from that signature. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:07 | |
So, here it is. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
Six pages. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:09 | |
We already miss you. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:10 | |
Thank you and goodbye. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:11 | |
Now it was time for
the difficult bit to start - | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
negotiating the terms. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
We were all doggedly
talking about Brexit, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
but other things happened, too. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:20 | |
The Conservative Party
candidate - 13,748. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:26 | |
In February, the Tories won
the Copeland by-election - | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
the first such win by a Government
party over its opposition in 35 | 0:37:29 | 0:37:35 | |
years, and in a place that had
been Labour since 1935. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:40 | |
On the same night, Labour held
onto their Stoke-on-Trent seat... | 0:37:40 | 0:37:43 | |
You going to resign, Paul? | 0:37:43 | 0:37:44 | |
..seeing off a challenge from Ukip. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
It was a message that
hope triumphs over fear! | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
There were elections, too,
for the Northern Ireland assembly. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
Sinn Fein came within one seat
of drawing level with the DUP | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
after a bitterly divisive campaign. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
APPLAUSE. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
Just a few weeks later, the death
of Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
Northern Ireland's former
Deputy First Minister. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:09 | |
Martin McGuinness
was a freedom fighter! | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
Even now, there's still no sign
of a breakthrough so that | 0:38:13 | 0:38:19 | |
power-sharing can be
restored at Stormont. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
Saving for a rainy day, Chancellor? | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
Back in London, Philip Hammond
gave the first of his | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
two budgets this year. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:26 | |
Theresa May was really
looking forward to it, | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
as the Chancellor said it
would prepare Britain for Brexit. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:37 | |
It provides a strong and stable
platform for those negotiations. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
Strong and stable -
the phrase we'd all get bored of. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
On the 22nd of March, a terrorist
ploughed through pedestrians | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
on Westminster Bridge,
killing four and injuring 50. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:50 | |
He then stabbed to death
a policeman just outside | 0:38:50 | 0:38:56 | |
the Houses of Parliament. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:57 | |
He was later shot dead. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:58 | |
The first three months of the year
in Westminster and beyond had | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
already provided plenty to fill
the airwaves and the newspapers. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
And then, a surprise
announcement no-one saw coming. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:09 | |
I have just chaired a meeting
of the Cabinet, where we agreed | 0:39:09 | 0:39:14 | |
that the Government should call
a general election to be | 0:39:14 | 0:39:18 | |
held on the 8th of June. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
Every vote for the Conservatives
will make me stronger | 0:39:21 | 0:39:26 | |
when I negotiate for Britain
with the prime ministers, | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
presidents and chancellors
of the European Union. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
Every vote for the Conservatives
will mean we can stick to our plan | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
for a stronger Britain,
and take the right long-term | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
decisions for a more secure future. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
General election? | 0:39:42 | 0:39:42 | |
You're jokin'! | 0:39:42 | 0:39:43 | |
Not another one! | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
# I was born under a wanderin' star. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
Go on, go on! | 0:39:50 | 0:39:51 | |
The path ahead seemed pretty clear
for Theresa May and the Tories | 0:39:51 | 0:39:55 | |
could almost smell victory -
or so they thought. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
The local elections saw
the Conservatives make big gains | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
across the country at the expense
of Ukip, whose vote | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
collapsed, and Labour. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
We have had very disappointing
results in other | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
parts of the country. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:14 | |
Yes, we have to go out
there in the next four weeks | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
and get a message out. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
There were recriminations, too,
among some Labour MPs. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:23 | |
It's a pretty disastrous picture. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:27 | |
It's simply not good enough
for a party that has been | 0:40:27 | 0:40:32 | |
in opposition for seven years,
that's heading towards a general | 0:40:32 | 0:40:37 | |
election in five weeks,
to not be picking up seats and not | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
making forward progress. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
But so much progress was made
on Labour's election manifesto | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
that it was finished five days early
and promptly leaked to the press. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
When it was formally lodged,
it called for the renationalisation | 0:40:49 | 0:40:54 | |
of the water companies and an end
to tuition fees. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
This is a programme of hope. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
The Tory campaign, by contrast,
is built on one word - fear. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:02 | |
The Tories, meanwhile,
unveiled a document that included | 0:41:02 | 0:41:15 | |
scrapping free school lunches
for children in England, and a | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
shake-up of the social care system. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
And with confidence in ourselves
and a unity of purpose | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
in our country, let us
all go forward together. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
APPLAUSE. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:25 | |
# Mud can make you prisoner
and the plains can bake you dry... | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
But then, Theresa May
seemed to lose her way. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:36 | |
The direction unclear... | 0:41:36 | 0:41:41 | |
# ..but only people make you cry. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
..in what were a series
of unforced errors. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
# ..dreams of going to | 0:41:45 | 0:41:46 | |
# Which, with any luck,
will never come true. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
There was that u-turn
on social care. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:50 | |
You have just announced
a significant change | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
to what was offered in your
manifesto, saying there | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
will now be the possibility
of a cap on social care - | 0:41:55 | 0:41:58 | |
that was not in the plans that
were announced just four days ago. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
Our social care system will collapse
unless we address this problem. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
Nothing has changed! | 0:42:04 | 0:42:05 | |
Nothing has changed. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:11 | |
Then she refused to take part in any
head-to-head televised debate. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
The Prime Minister
is not here tonight. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
She can't be bothered,
so why should you? | 0:42:16 | 0:42:21 | |
In fact, Bake Off
is on BBC Two next. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
It wasn't Bake Off, but she did go
on the TV to talk about the bins, | 0:42:23 | 0:42:28 | |
and it all seemed a bit cringy. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:29 | |
Well, there is give and take
in every marriage isn't there? | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
Of course. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:33 | |
I get to decide when I take the bins
out, not if I take the bins out. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:38 | |
There are boy jobs
and girl jobs, you see. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
There's boy jobs and girl jobs? | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
And then there was that weird time
that the Prime Minister was asked | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
what was the naughtiest thing
she ever done as a child. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:48 | |
She said it was to run
through a field of wheat. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:54 | |
Come on, Ed! Come on, Ed! | 0:42:54 | 0:42:55 | |
# The hills are alive
with the sound of music #. | 0:42:55 | 0:43:01 | |
Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn
was positively frolicking out | 0:43:03 | 0:43:04 | |
on the campaign trail... | 0:43:04 | 0:43:08 | |
ALL CHANT: Corbyn! Corbyn! Corbyn! | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
..greeted like a rock star
at his well attended rallies. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:14 | |
I never was into politics
because I never thought | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
politicians were, like,
normal people, until now. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:24 | |
You won't say whether you think
having gay sex is a sin. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
Elsewhere, the Lib Dem leader
Tim Farron, a devoted Christian, | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
kept being asked the same question. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:34 | |
I don't believe gay sex is a sin. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
I take the view that
as a political leader, though, | 0:43:37 | 0:43:39 | |
my job is not to pontificate
on theological matters. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:46 | |
And in a lighter moment,
he also provided one of the best | 0:43:46 | 0:43:49 | |
catchphrases of the campaign. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:50 | |
Smell my spaniel, maybe. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:51 | |
Not everyone liked it. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:52 | |
Meanwhile, the SNP seemed pretty
cool about their challenge ahead. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:56 | |
Winning those 56 seats
will be a huge challenge | 0:43:56 | 0:43:58 | |
for Nicola Sturgeon's party. | 0:43:58 | 0:43:59 | |
Ruth Davidson has predicted we've
hit peak Nat, the only way is down. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:03 | |
This party... | 0:44:03 | 0:44:05 | |
Hello! | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
Ukip's manifesto was memorable
for its proposed ban on burqas | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
in public, but its leader
Paul Nuttall had trouble | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
with his own memory. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:14 | |
I think that Natalie's
absolutely right. | 0:44:14 | 0:44:16 | |
What we need to do... | 0:44:16 | 0:44:17 | |
I'm not Natalie! | 0:44:17 | 0:44:18 | |
Ally, I'm sorry. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:19 | |
Thank you. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:19 | |
My fault. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:20 | |
Sorry. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:21 | |
Women's names. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:22 | |
He's done it twice now. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:23 | |
Have I? | 0:44:23 | 0:44:24 | |
Oh, I'm sorry about that. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:25 | |
But politics was overtaken
by tragedy not once, but twice. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:29 | |
23 people, including the attacker,
were killed after a bomb went off | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
at a pop concert at the Manchester
Arena. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:42 | |
This was amongst the worst terrorist
incidents we have ever experienced | 0:44:42 | 0:44:45 | |
in the United Kingdom. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
Clear the area now! | 0:44:48 | 0:44:49 | |
Less tha two weeks later,
and five days before the election, | 0:44:49 | 0:44:56 | |
a second terror attack,
this time on London Bridge. | 0:44:56 | 0:44:58 | |
Eight people were killed
and the three attackers | 0:44:58 | 0:45:07 | |
shot dead by police. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:08 | |
On both occasions, the campaign
was suspended for several days. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
We are saying the Conservatives
are the largest party, | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
although they do not have a majority
at this stage. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
Overall, the Conservatives lost 12
seats, creating a hung Parliament. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:21 | |
They were the biggest party,
but did not have a majority. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:30 | |
Surprising even themselves,
they regained an extra 30 seats. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:35 | |
The SNP lost 21, including that
of their former leader Alex Salmond. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:41 | |
Former Lib Dem leader
Nick Clegg also lost his seat. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:45 | |
Theresa May stayed on as Prime
Minister, but only just. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
I'm sorry for all those hard-working
candidates and party workers | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
who were not successful. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:55 | |
With the majority gone,
a vocal number of Tory MPs thought | 0:45:55 | 0:45:58 | |
it stank and Theresa May would have
to clean up her mess. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:01 | |
That's what she promised to do,
but there was still pressure | 0:46:01 | 0:46:04 | |
on her to resign, from a former
colleague, who had got | 0:46:04 | 0:46:07 | |
a new job as the editor
of the London Evening Standard. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:12 | |
Theresa May is a dead woman walking. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
It's just how long she's
going to remain on Death Row. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
Tim Farron decided it was time to go
even though the Lib Dems had | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
regained an extra eight seats. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:24 | |
To be the leader of a progressive,
liberal party in 2017 and to live | 0:46:24 | 0:46:28 | |
as a committed Christian
to the Bible's teaching has | 0:46:28 | 0:46:30 | |
felt impossible for me. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:35 | |
Watching on was the man who took
over was Vince Cable. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:38 | |
The Ukip leader Paul Nuttall who
failed to win a seat also resigned. | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
For us, although the tide may be out
at this present moment in time, | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
I am convinced it will return. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:52 | |
Deal or no deal, Mrs Foster? | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
To get enough MPs in Parliament
to be able to pass any laws, | 0:46:54 | 0:46:57 | |
Theresa May needed the DUP's ten MPs
from Northern Ireland on side. | 0:46:57 | 0:47:03 | |
Those discussions
are still going on. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:05 | |
Norman, what can you tell us? | 0:47:05 | 0:47:06 | |
You keep looking over your shoulder
in case she comes out the door. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:13 | |
Actually I was looking at a much
more interesting fight | 0:47:13 | 0:47:16 | |
about to erupt between Palmerston
and Larry, who is lying | 0:47:16 | 0:47:18 | |
on his back in the street. | 0:47:18 | 0:47:20 | |
A serious clash could be
about to unfold, I don't know | 0:47:20 | 0:47:23 | |
whether I should intervene! | 0:47:23 | 0:47:28 | |
Don't worry, there was no fight. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:30 | |
They came to an arrangement,
as did the DUP and the Government 18 | 0:47:30 | 0:47:33 | |
days after the election. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
Today we have reached an outcome
that is good for the United Kingdom. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:38 | |
Then remember the guy
who was treated like a rock star? | 0:47:38 | 0:47:41 | |
Jeremy Corbyn went to Glastonbury. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:43 | |
# Oh, Jeremy Corbyn...# | 0:47:43 | 0:48:01 | |
Plenty to digest. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:02 | |
It was only June, but the issue
of Brexit hadn't gone away. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:05 | |
Time for the EU and UK
to get stuck in. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
A hugely important decision
was taken by the remaining | 0:48:08 | 0:48:14 | |
27 countries in the EU
at the end of April. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:18 | |
To start with, negotiators would
only talk about three subjects: | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
the border between Northern Ireland
and the Republic of Ireland, | 0:48:20 | 0:48:23 | |
the rights of EU citizens living
in Britain and vice versa, | 0:48:23 | 0:48:27 | |
and how much Britain owed the EU,
the so-called divorce bill. | 0:48:27 | 0:48:30 | |
Only when sufficient progress
was made in those areas could talks | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
move on to the nitty-gritty
of trade deals. | 0:48:32 | 0:48:39 | |
We all want a close and strong
future relationship with the UK. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:44 | |
There's absolutely no
question about it. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:45 | |
But before discussing the future,
we have to sort out our past. | 0:48:45 | 0:48:54 | |
The very next day, a German
newspaper published details | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
of a meeting between the EU
Commission president | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
Jean-Claude Juncker and the PM. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:02 | |
It alleged the meeting had been
frosty and Mr Juncker had left 10 | 0:49:02 | 0:49:06 | |
times more sceptical. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:07 | |
Theresa May dismissed
the report as gossip. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:09 | |
By June, it was time
to get on with it. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:13 | |
I'm here in Brussels today,
like Michel, to begin the next phase | 0:49:13 | 0:49:17 | |
of our work to build a new deep
and special partnership | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
with the European Union. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:22 | |
That obviously wouldn't be easy. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:27 | |
TRANSLATION: The UK decided
to leave the EU, not | 0:49:27 | 0:49:30 | |
the other way round,
and the consequences | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |
are substantial. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
We come bearing gifts. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:36 | |
Enter Jeremy Corbyn
to mix things up a bit. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:40 | |
He met the EU chief negotiator
to discuss Labour's Brexit position, | 0:49:40 | 0:49:43 | |
which may not have been as obvious
as his football allegiance. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:46 | |
A football shirt.. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:47 | |
Barnier! | 0:49:47 | 0:49:47 | |
You now play for Arsenal. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:54 | |
The British Government
published a series of papers | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
clarifying its position
on a range of issues. | 0:49:56 | 0:49:58 | |
But by the end of August, the EU
seemed to suggest it wasn't enough. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:02 | |
To be honest, I'm concerned. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:03 | |
Time passes quickly. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:13 | |
With the clock ticking,
Theresa May made another speech, | 0:50:13 | 0:50:18 | |
this time in Florence. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:19 | |
She said there should
be a transition period | 0:50:19 | 0:50:21 | |
of about two years after Brexit,
and that Britain was prepared to pay | 0:50:21 | 0:50:25 | |
a financial settlement. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:26 | |
Clearly people, businesses
and public services should only have | 0:50:26 | 0:50:28 | |
to plan for one set of changes
in the relationship | 0:50:28 | 0:50:31 | |
between the UK and EU. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:32 | |
The UK will honour commitments we've
made during the period | 0:50:32 | 0:50:35 | |
of our membership. | 0:50:35 | 0:50:36 | |
Let us be creative as well as
practical in designing an ambitious | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
economic partnership that respects
the freedoms and principles | 0:50:39 | 0:50:41 | |
of the EU and the wishes
of the British people. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:44 | |
A month later, another
dinner, another kiss | 0:50:44 | 0:50:52 | |
with Jean-Claude Juncker. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
Another German newspaper report. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:57 | |
This time it said the PM had "begged
for help" when they met, | 0:50:57 | 0:51:02 | |
and she seemed tired
and politically weak. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:04 | |
He denied the account. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:05 | |
She was in good shape,
she was not tired, she was fighting. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:08 | |
As is her duty. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:09 | |
Everything for me was OK. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:10 | |
She didn't plead with you for help? | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
No, no. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:13 | |
Still, by December, no decision
on whether sufficient | 0:51:13 | 0:51:22 | |
progress had been made. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:23 | |
A deal was so near. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:25 | |
Quite literally - Theresa May
was even in Brussels. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:27 | |
But the sticking point was the DUP
who said they weren't happy | 0:51:27 | 0:51:30 | |
with proposals for Northern Ireland. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:32 | |
We will not accept any form
of regulatory divergence | 0:51:32 | 0:51:34 | |
which separates Northern Ireland
economically or politically | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
from the rest of the UK. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:42 | |
A dramatic intervention
and back to stalemate. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
After more late-night talks,
finally, a breakthrough. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:46 | |
For now at least. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:53 | |
Sufficient progress has now
been made on the strict | 0:51:53 | 0:51:56 | |
terms of the divorce. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:57 | |
This was a difficult negotiation
for the European Union | 0:51:57 | 0:51:59 | |
as well as for the United Kingdom. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:05 | |
You can say that again, Jean-Claude. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:07 | |
That is what this was all about. | 0:52:07 | 0:52:11 | |
I very much welcome the prospect
of moving ahead to the next phase. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
Will you be celebrating, Mr Barnier,
cracking open the champagne? | 0:52:14 | 0:52:17 | |
We're still working, no. | 0:52:17 | 0:52:18 | |
The chief negotiator wasn't
quite jumping for joy. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:22 | |
Ultimate arbiter, put
about in your pipe and smoke it. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:25 | |
Back home, critics like him
weren't celebrating either. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
Amazing isn't it, British PM has
to fly through the middle | 0:52:29 | 0:52:32 | |
of the night to meet some unelected
bureaucrats who patted her on ahead | 0:52:32 | 0:52:36 | |
and said you've met all our demands,
made sufficient progress, | 0:52:36 | 0:52:40 | |
we can move onto the next stage,
the whole thing is a humiliation. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:43 | |
There is little doubt it did come
as some relief to the PM. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:47 | |
Even if less than one week later... | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
The ayes to the right, 309,
nos to the left, 305. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:51 | |
..she was defeated in the Commons
when rebel Tory and opposition MPs | 0:52:51 | 0:52:55 | |
forced the Government to give
a legal guarantee of a vote | 0:52:55 | 0:52:58 | |
on the final Brexit deal. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:02 | |
Overall, a year of Brexit
negotiations ended with agreement. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:05 | |
At least the first bit did. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:07 | |
The real fun starts making a deal
on the future relationship. | 0:53:07 | 0:53:14 | |
Is Theresa May's of a full agreement
by March 2019 realistic? | 0:53:14 | 0:53:17 | |
Still realistic and, of course,
dramatically difficult. | 0:53:17 | 0:53:28 | |
With the election over and Brexit
dominating the whole of 2017, | 0:53:28 | 0:53:31 | |
it was a long slog. | 0:53:31 | 0:53:34 | |
Keeping control of her own party has
been an uphill struggle for the PM. | 0:53:34 | 0:53:47 | |
# Oh, Jeremy Corbyn...# | 0:53:47 | 0:53:51 | |
Not least when you compare it
to Jeremy Corbyn's fortunes. | 0:53:51 | 0:53:53 | |
They may have lost the election
but Labour's party conference felt | 0:53:53 | 0:53:56 | |
more like a victory parade. | 0:53:56 | 0:53:59 | |
It wasn't like this last year. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:02 | |
Thank you so much for that wonderful
welcome and this incredible feeling | 0:54:02 | 0:54:05 | |
and spirit of unity and love
and affection we have here. | 0:54:05 | 0:54:10 | |
Why are you making the PM sweat? | 0:54:10 | 0:54:12 | |
The run-up to the Tory conference
was less than harmonious. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:15 | |
Boris Johnson hit the headlines
for an article he wrote | 0:54:15 | 0:54:18 | |
outlining his own red lines
in Brexit negotiations. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:21 | |
They seemed to go further than that
of the Prime Minister | 0:54:21 | 0:54:24 | |
and what was agreed by the Cabinet. | 0:54:24 | 0:54:26 | |
Once again there were whispers
about his leadership aspirations. | 0:54:26 | 0:54:28 | |
A little taste of Italy. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:30 | |
As there were about this man,
Jacob Rees-Mogg, though he told me | 0:54:30 | 0:54:33 | |
he wants Theresa May to stay
on as leader. | 0:54:33 | 0:54:37 | |
For ever and ever, eternity, even
eternity is too short to extol her. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:41 | |
You don't fancy it yourself? | 0:54:41 | 0:54:42 | |
No, of course not, I want Mrs May
to go on for ever and ever. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:46 | |
In the end, it was Theresa
May's conference speech | 0:54:46 | 0:54:49 | |
that went on and on. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:53 | |
It started with a prankster. | 0:54:53 | 0:54:54 | |
And prepare for a run on the ground. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
Boris, job done, given her the P45. | 0:54:57 | 0:55:01 | |
Of course it had nothing to do
with the Foreign Secretary. | 0:55:01 | 0:55:04 | |
I was about to talk about somebody
I would like to give a P45 to, | 0:55:04 | 0:55:08 | |
and that's Jeremy Corbyn. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:09 | |
And then came the frog
in the throat. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:11 | |
COUGHS. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:14 | |
The deficit is back
to precrisis levels... | 0:55:14 | 0:55:21 | |
Sounds as if my voice
isn't on track. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:30 | |
As if it couldn't get any
worse, even the scenery | 0:55:30 | 0:55:33 | |
started falling down. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:40 | |
The PM put on a brave face
and was supported by her husband | 0:55:40 | 0:55:44 | |
and, in the coming days,
after some whisperings | 0:55:44 | 0:55:46 | |
about her leadership, her Cabinet. | 0:55:46 | 0:55:48 | |
By the end of October,
scandal once again hit Westminster, | 0:55:48 | 0:55:51 | |
this time about sexual harassment. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:52 | |
Very quickly it became clear
it was not party political, | 0:55:52 | 0:55:55 | |
with various MPs implicated. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:56 | |
And then a Cabinet Minister. | 0:55:56 | 0:56:04 | |
In recent days allegations have been
made about MPs' conduct, | 0:56:04 | 0:56:06 | |
including my own. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:07 | |
Many of these allegations
have been false. | 0:56:07 | 0:56:09 | |
But I realise that in the past I may
have fallen below the high standards | 0:56:09 | 0:56:13 | |
that we require of the Armed Forces
that I have the honour to represent. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:17 | |
I have reflected now on my position
in Government and I am therefore | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
resigning as Defence Secretary. | 0:56:20 | 0:56:33 | |
One week later, jetting back this
time from an official | 0:56:33 | 0:56:36 | |
ministerial trip, Priti Patel,
the International Development | 0:56:36 | 0:56:38 | |
Secretary, was called
into Downing Street | 0:56:38 | 0:56:40 | |
and also resigned. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:43 | |
This time over unauthorised meetings
she'd had with Israeli | 0:56:43 | 0:56:46 | |
officials while on holiday. | 0:56:46 | 0:56:50 | |
In her resignation letter,
Ms Patel said her actions | 0:56:50 | 0:56:52 | |
"fell below the standards
of transparency and openness." | 0:56:52 | 0:56:55 | |
Losing two Cabinet ministers
in a week was unlucky, | 0:56:55 | 0:56:57 | |
losing a third the following month
was, well, awkward, but Damian Green | 0:56:57 | 0:57:00 | |
resigned after it was found
that he made misleading statements | 0:57:00 | 0:57:03 | |
over claims of pornography
on his office computer. | 0:57:03 | 0:57:08 | |
It wasn't just troublesome
friends at home. | 0:57:08 | 0:57:17 | |
In January the PM and Donald Trump
had got on so well when she went | 0:57:17 | 0:57:21 | |
to Washington they even held hands. | 0:57:21 | 0:57:23 | |
Mrs May invited the President over
for a state visit at some stage. | 0:57:23 | 0:57:26 | |
That didn't go down well
with some people back home. | 0:57:26 | 0:57:29 | |
So when the President retweeted some
unsubstantiated posts from a British | 0:57:29 | 0:57:32 | |
far-right group called
Britain First, it was, | 0:57:32 | 0:57:34 | |
at best, a bit awkward. | 0:57:34 | 0:57:35 | |
Theresa May said he
was wrong to do it. | 0:57:35 | 0:57:37 | |
He told her, "Don't focus on me." | 0:57:37 | 0:57:39 | |
The year didn't end
as friendly as it had started, | 0:57:39 | 0:57:42 | |
but is the President
still coming over? | 0:57:42 | 0:57:52 | |
An invitation for a state visit has
been extended and has been accepted. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
We have yet to set a date. | 0:57:56 | 0:57:58 | |
Thank you. | 0:57:58 | 0:57:59 | |
Something to look
forward to next year. | 0:57:59 | 0:58:01 | |
So much going on, little sign
of things slowing down. | 0:58:01 | 0:58:15 | |
But politics aside, there was one
more important moment | 0:58:15 | 0:58:18 | |
in Westminster this year -
the silencing of an old friend. | 0:58:18 | 0:58:21 | |
BONG. | 0:58:21 | 0:58:25 | |
Big Ben stopped bonging. | 0:58:25 | 0:58:33 | |
Apart from events like Remembrance
Sunday and New Year's Eve, | 0:58:33 | 0:58:35 | |
the bell will stay silent as repair
works go on, for four years. | 0:58:35 | 0:58:44 | |
Even the Prime Minister is a bit
upset about it, as are other MPs. | 0:58:44 | 0:58:48 | |
It means something, it really does. | 0:58:48 | 0:58:49 | |
These are the chimes of freedom
and they have to be respected. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:53 | |
We've got to keep them bonging. | 0:58:53 | 0:58:54 | |
It really has been all
about timing this year. | 0:58:54 | 0:58:57 | |
An election and all the fallout,
Brexit and the ongoing negotiations, | 0:58:57 | 0:59:00 | |
and scandals at Westminster. | 0:59:00 | 0:59:01 | |
It's been quite a year. | 0:59:01 | 0:59:02 | |
Next year couldn't possibly be
so frantic, could it? | 0:59:02 | 0:59:14 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Roger Johnson. | 1:00:01 | 1:00:04 | |
Storms and rail strikes in store
as the UK prepares to bring | 1:00:04 | 1:00:07 | |
in the New Year. | 1:00:07 | 1:00:09 | |
A 24-hour walkout is under way
on South Western and CrossCountry | 1:00:09 | 1:00:13 | |
services causing
cancellations and delays. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:29 | |
In Edinburgh, Hogmanay
celebrations have already begun. | 1:00:29 | 1:00:36 | |
Organisers say tonight's main event
will go ahead as planned | 1:00:36 | 1:00:41 | |
despite the arrival of Storm Dylan. | 1:00:41 | 1:00:42 | |
Good morning. | 1:00:42 | 1:00:43 | |
Its Northern Ireland,
southern Scotland and northern | 1:00:43 | 1:00:45 | |
England that will bear the brunt
of the damaging winds | 1:00:45 | 1:00:48 | |
from Storm Dylan. | 1:00:48 | 1:00:48 | |
Good morning - it's New Year's Eve,
Sunday 31st December. | 1:00:59 | 1:01:01 | |
Also this morning: | 1:01:01 | 1:01:05 | |
Two demonstrators are reported
to have been shot dead in Iran | 1:01:05 | 1:01:08 | |
as anti-government protests spread
across the country. | 1:01:08 | 1:01:10 | |
A tax threat to internet firms. | 1:01:10 | 1:01:16 | |
The security minister says Facebook
and Google could face penalties - | 1:01:16 | 1:01:19 | |
if they don't do more
to tackle terrorism. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:21 | |
In sport, more misery for Mourinho. | 1:01:21 | 1:01:24 | |
He claims his Manchester United side
were denied a clear penalty | 1:01:24 | 1:01:27 | |
as they lose further ground
on their City rivals. | 1:01:27 | 1:01:32 | |
Good morning. | 1:01:32 | 1:01:33 | |
First, our main story. | 1:01:33 | 1:01:36 | |
Winds of up to 80 mph
and a series of rail strikes | 1:01:36 | 1:01:39 | |
are threatening to cause disruption
as the UK prepares to see | 1:01:39 | 1:01:42 | |
in the New Year. | 1:01:42 | 1:01:45 | |
The Met Office is warning of flying
debris and damage to buildings | 1:01:45 | 1:01:49 | |
as Storm Dylan hits Northern Ireland
and parts of southern Scotland, | 1:01:49 | 1:01:53 | |
while a 24-hour walk out could hit
passengers on CrossCountry | 1:01:53 | 1:01:57 | |
and South Western rail services. | 1:01:57 | 1:01:59 | |
But hundreds of thousands of people
are still expected to take | 1:01:59 | 1:02:03 | |
to the streets to celebrate,
as Simon Clemison reports. | 1:02:03 | 1:02:11 | |
Why have one night of celebration
when you can have two? | 1:02:11 | 1:02:14 | |
With this torchlit parade,
Hogmanay is already under | 1:02:14 | 1:02:22 | |
way in Edinburgh. | 1:02:22 | 1:02:22 | |
Our 24 Vikings have travelled
down from the Shetlands, | 1:02:22 | 1:02:25 | |
on a longboat journey,
and we're here to basically warm | 1:02:25 | 1:02:28 | |
things up a bit. | 1:02:28 | 1:02:30 | |
In London, as in Scotland,
security is key but despite four | 1:02:30 | 1:02:32 | |
terror attacks this year,
there will be fewer officers on duty | 1:02:32 | 1:02:36 | |
for tonight's huge
fireworks display, | 1:02:36 | 1:02:42 | |
but the Met insists
the numbers are right. | 1:02:43 | 1:02:45 | |
People will be remembering those
who have died and those | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
who were injured in those attacks. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:51 | |
We have been policing this for quite
a long time now and our experience | 1:02:51 | 1:02:55 | |
of doing that means our tactics
and our way of mitigating those | 1:02:55 | 1:02:58 | |
threats has developed along the way. | 1:02:58 | 1:03:00 | |
But will people be
able to get there? | 1:03:00 | 1:03:02 | |
Delays and cancellations are
expected on South Western Railway | 1:03:02 | 1:03:05 | |
and CrossCountry
because of the strike. | 1:03:05 | 1:03:06 | |
South Western says it thinks
it will be able to run | 1:03:06 | 1:03:09 | |
three-quarters of trains. | 1:03:09 | 1:03:14 | |
The only question
remaining, the weather. | 1:03:14 | 1:03:15 | |
Edinburgh has already enjoyed some
fireworks but gusts of 80 miles | 1:03:15 | 1:03:19 | |
per hour are predicted across areas
of Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 1:03:19 | 1:03:22 | |
The warnings of the Met Office
stopped by the afternoon | 1:03:22 | 1:03:25 | |
but the dying hours of 2017
are making their presence felt. | 1:03:25 | 1:03:30 | |
Simon Clemison, BBC News. | 1:03:30 | 1:03:31 | |
Let's cross live to Simon
at London Waterloo, normally one | 1:03:31 | 1:03:34 | |
of the UK's busiest stations,
but Simon things could be very | 1:03:34 | 1:03:37 | |
different today? | 1:03:37 | 1:03:49 | |
Good morning. I feel a bit like an
unwelcome guests. But beware. There | 1:03:49 | 1:03:53 | |
are strikes today. This is Britain's
busiest railway station. It is | 1:03:53 | 1:03:59 | |
Sunday morning so it's a bit quieter
anyway at this time. | 1:03:59 | 1:04:02 | |
Sunday morning so it's a bit quieter
anyway at this time. South-western | 1:04:02 | 1:04:05 | |
railway runs lots of services here.
London is where tens of thousands of | 1:04:05 | 1:04:10 | |
people will come to celebrate. It
could feel the brunt of these | 1:04:10 | 1:04:13 | |
strikes. If we look at the boards, a
lot of services or leaving on time. | 1:04:13 | 1:04:21 | |
There is a reduced timetable,
remember. Some routes are not | 1:04:21 | 1:04:25 | |
serviced at all. A 24- hour walkout
by workers also a CrossCountry. | 1:04:25 | 1:04:33 | |
Reduced trains between Newcastle and
Edinburgh and nothing between Glass: | 1:04:33 | 1:04:38 | |
Aberdeen. The dispute is about many
things including the role of the | 1:04:38 | 1:04:42 | |
guide. Your services and a lot more
people. They could prove the | 1:04:42 | 1:04:48 | |
heaviest of mixes arriving in the
New Year. Simon, thank you very much | 1:04:48 | 1:04:53 | |
indeed. | 1:04:53 | 1:04:56 | |
Well we can get more on what we can
expect from Storm Dylan today. | 1:04:56 | 1:04:59 | |
Matt has the details. | 1:04:59 | 1:05:03 | |
Good morning. Is it likely to cause
much disruption? | 1:05:03 | 1:05:08 | |
It is likely to cause a lot of
disruption. Those on the move today, | 1:05:08 | 1:05:16 | |
70, 80 miles per hour. At the
moment, it is centred just on the | 1:05:16 | 1:05:24 | |
North coast of Northern Ireland.
These were the strongest winds are | 1:05:24 | 1:05:28 | |
at present. The biggest impact with
the strength of the winds. 70, 80 | 1:05:28 | 1:05:38 | |
miles per hour gusts. They going to
transfer into southern Scotland | 1:05:38 | 1:05:42 | |
potentially through the heavy
populated Central Belt. These areas | 1:05:42 | 1:05:46 | |
most likely. The ferries, the
bridges, keeping across the latest. | 1:05:46 | 1:05:54 | |
And on your BBC local radio station.
Conditions to improve into the | 1:05:54 | 1:06:00 | |
afternoon. Some of you will be
seeing the New Year in on a high | 1:06:00 | 1:06:07 | |
note. More details on ten minutes.
It's nice that you always give us a | 1:06:07 | 1:06:11 | |
silver lining. | 1:06:11 | 1:06:12 | |
The Security Minister Ben Wallace
has said the government should | 1:06:12 | 1:06:15 | |
consider taxing internet firms
unless they are more willing | 1:06:15 | 1:06:18 | |
to co-operate in tackling the threat
of terrorism in the UK. | 1:06:18 | 1:06:22 | |
In an interview in The Sunday Times,
Mr Wallace said technology fims that | 1:06:22 | 1:06:25 | |
refused the security services access
to encrypted messages were "turning | 1:06:25 | 1:06:28 | |
the internet into an
anarchic, violent space." | 1:06:28 | 1:06:36 | |
The point that Ben Wallace makes is
that we are more vulnerable than to | 1:06:36 | 1:06:40 | |
terror attacks and although we have
seen so-called Islamic state group | 1:06:40 | 1:06:45 | |
almost defeated militarily --
militarily in Syria, the group still | 1:06:45 | 1:06:49 | |
has a presence on line and is
calling out to supporters to carry | 1:06:49 | 1:06:52 | |
out attacks at home in their own
countries. Ben Wallace as saying | 1:06:52 | 1:06:57 | |
that Google, Facebook and YouTube
still not going far enough in | 1:06:57 | 1:07:01 | |
identifying extremist material. He
also talks about the encrypted | 1:07:01 | 1:07:06 | |
messaging apps like WhatsApp, which
are places where attacks can be | 1:07:06 | 1:07:16 | |
organised. He says the result of all
this is that more human surveillance | 1:07:16 | 1:07:22 | |
is needed. 3000 suspects on watch
lists in the UK. That sort of human | 1:07:22 | 1:07:31 | |
surveillance needs to be carried
out. He also talks about the cost of | 1:07:31 | 1:07:38 | |
de- radicalising people in part
because they have had access to | 1:07:38 | 1:07:42 | |
extremist material on line. The
costs of deradicalisation for | 1:07:42 | 1:07:46 | |
government agencies is very high. He
puts for this idea of taxing | 1:07:46 | 1:07:51 | |
Internet firms, he keen on the
pocket to incentivise them. | 1:07:51 | 1:07:55 | |
Preventing extremist material from
going up in the first place. That's | 1:07:55 | 1:08:01 | |
not government policy, that is an
idea that Ben Wallace as security | 1:08:01 | 1:08:05 | |
minister is putting forward. This is
very clearly that patience has run | 1:08:05 | 1:08:09 | |
out with the tech firms. 2018 needs
to be and I dashed a year the | 1:08:09 | 1:08:13 | |
change. He says we have not heard a
response from Google and Facebook. | 1:08:13 | 1:08:18 | |
But they are putting more work into
this area. Thank you very much. | 1:08:18 | 1:08:22 | |
Two demonstrators are reported
to have been shot dead in Iran | 1:08:22 | 1:08:25 | |
as anti-government protests spread
throughout the country, | 1:08:25 | 1:08:27 | |
reaching the capital, Tehran. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:28 | |
The wave of unrest
which began last week, | 1:08:28 | 1:08:30 | |
is the most serious since
the authorities suppressed months | 1:08:30 | 1:08:33 | |
of protests in 2009. | 1:08:33 | 1:08:34 | |
Jon Ironmonger reports. | 1:08:34 | 1:08:41 | |
A crack of gunshots as panic ripples
the a crowd in the western city | 1:08:41 | 1:08:45 | |
Daroud. | 1:08:45 | 1:08:51 | |
Later, a wounded man is carried
through the streets. | 1:08:51 | 1:08:53 | |
It is being reported
a number of people | 1:08:53 | 1:08:59 | |
have been killed following
an escalation of violence and three | 1:08:59 | 1:09:02 | |
days of unrest. | 1:09:02 | 1:09:07 | |
Late into the night,
demonstrators attacked targets | 1:09:07 | 1:09:09 | |
with links to the government
and the ruling clerical elite. | 1:09:09 | 1:09:14 | |
In Karamabad, the governor's
office was burned. | 1:09:14 | 1:09:16 | |
In the northern city of a Mashhad,
police motorbikes were set alight | 1:09:16 | 1:09:19 | |
while crowds taunted
the security services. | 1:09:19 | 1:09:21 | |
What started as a provincial
process about rocketing | 1:09:21 | 1:09:26 | |
prices has become deeply political
and moved to the capital Tehran, | 1:09:26 | 1:09:29 | |
where offices were pelted with
stones near the main university. | 1:09:29 | 1:09:31 | |
Riot police were used
to quell the disturbance. | 1:09:31 | 1:09:43 | |
This video shows a baby
being taken to hospital, | 1:09:43 | 1:09:45 | |
apparently suffering
from the effects of tear gas. | 1:09:45 | 1:09:51 | |
It is thought the Iranian
authorities have reacted by cutting | 1:09:51 | 1:09:54 | |
access to the Internet in many
cities, especially to mobile phones | 1:09:54 | 1:10:03 | |
and Instagram, which had become
hugely popular in Iran, | 1:10:03 | 1:10:06 | |
is now said to be inaccessible. | 1:10:06 | 1:10:07 | |
Iranian officials have vowed
on state TV to double their efforts | 1:10:07 | 1:10:17 | |
to resolve the economic
problems and ploughed ahead | 1:10:17 | 1:10:19 | |
with commemorative pro-government
rallies on Saturday. | 1:10:19 | 1:10:21 | |
But further protests are expected
over the coming days and experts | 1:10:21 | 1:10:27 | |
say opposing the Islamic republic
will be a colossal challenge. | 1:10:27 | 1:10:30 | |
Do not underestimate the reggressive
capability of the Revolutionary | 1:10:30 | 1:10:32 | |
Guards, the resiliency
of the Islamic Republic. | 1:10:32 | 1:10:38 | |
This regime is well
institutionalised in Iran and can | 1:10:38 | 1:10:40 | |
deal with protest movement such
as the one that we have witnessed | 1:10:40 | 1:10:43 | |
in the past few days. | 1:10:43 | 1:10:45 | |
Iran's ultraconservative regime
is facing its biggest threat | 1:10:45 | 1:10:48 | |
in nearly a decade, but what lengths
will it go to to survive? | 1:10:48 | 1:10:57 | |
Political leaders have been
reflecting on the past 12 months | 1:10:57 | 1:11:00 | |
in their New Year's messages,
with Theresa May calling 2017 | 1:11:00 | 1:11:06 | |
a "year of progress" for the UK. | 1:11:06 | 1:11:08 | |
The Prime Minister said
the British people will feel | 1:11:08 | 1:11:10 | |
"renewed confidence
and pride" in 2018. | 1:11:10 | 1:11:14 | |
The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn
said the hope of a "new Britain" | 1:11:14 | 1:11:18 | |
is "closer than ever" and his party
is a "government in waiting". | 1:11:18 | 1:11:22 | |
Making success of Brexit is crucial
but it will not be the limit | 1:11:22 | 1:11:26 | |
of our ambitions. | 1:11:26 | 1:11:27 | |
We also have to carry on making
a difference here and now | 1:11:27 | 1:11:31 | |
on the issues that matter
to people's daily lives. | 1:11:31 | 1:11:37 | |
The old political
consensus is finished. | 1:11:37 | 1:11:43 | |
We're staking out the new centre
ground in British politics, | 1:11:43 | 1:11:45 | |
backing the things which most people
want but are blocked | 1:11:45 | 1:11:48 | |
by vested interests. | 1:11:48 | 1:11:49 | |
We are a government in waiting. | 1:11:49 | 1:11:59 | |
If you have been enjoying the recent
snow - building a snow man | 1:11:59 | 1:12:03 | |
or an ice sculpture. | 1:12:03 | 1:12:04 | |
Have a look at these pictures. | 1:12:04 | 1:12:05 | |
They are from the largest ice
sculpture festival in the world, | 1:12:05 | 1:12:08 | |
which takes place in China. | 1:12:08 | 1:12:10 | |
It took more than 10,000 members
of staff to construct | 1:12:10 | 1:12:13 | |
the 2,000 sculptures. | 1:12:13 | 1:12:15 | |
Each recreates a famous landmark
and is made from ice harvested | 1:12:15 | 1:12:18 | |
from the frozen Songhua River
in the north of the country. | 1:12:18 | 1:12:30 | |
Good morning, it is New Year's Eve
and this is Breakfast from BBC News. | 1:12:35 | 1:12:40 | |
For many of us, the new year might
seem like the perfect time to make | 1:12:40 | 1:12:44 | |
ourselves fitter, wiser
and more successful. | 1:12:44 | 1:12:45 | |
But one mental health charity says
the classic "new Year, | 1:12:45 | 1:12:48 | |
new you" message can increase
anxiety and unhappiness. | 1:12:48 | 1:12:50 | |
Mark Rowland is from
the Mental Health Foundation. | 1:12:50 | 1:12:52 | |
He's here to tell us more. | 1:12:52 | 1:13:04 | |
Our people unrealistic in the
targets that they set for | 1:13:04 | 1:13:08 | |
themselves, resolutions? They can
be. New Year is a sacred time to | 1:13:08 | 1:13:12 | |
reflect on what has gone on before
and what the future holds. I think | 1:13:12 | 1:13:17 | |
what we are suggesting is that New
Year's resolutions can become a | 1:13:17 | 1:13:21 | |
festival of faultfinding in
ourselves, can become short-term | 1:13:21 | 1:13:24 | |
goals. A lot of self-criticism. We
are calling for a different approach | 1:13:24 | 1:13:32 | |
and a new way of doing New Year's.
Focused on things that the year and | 1:13:32 | 1:13:36 | |
things that can carry forward
positive intentions. Just explain | 1:13:36 | 1:13:42 | |
how it indifference from a
resolution. Resolutions I quite | 1:13:42 | 1:13:46 | |
often externally focused,
quantifiable. I want to lose a few | 1:13:46 | 1:13:52 | |
pounds, run a bit faster. But the
theme is about getting closer to the | 1:13:52 | 1:13:57 | |
real motivation. It might be about
becoming more curious or more | 1:13:57 | 1:14:04 | |
energetic or kinder or gentle to
yourself and kinder to others and | 1:14:04 | 1:14:09 | |
it's on a spectrum. It's not
something you can bail out. Looking | 1:14:09 | 1:14:12 | |
at being to say, be more loving. It
really is about making an intention | 1:14:12 | 1:14:20 | |
about the life that you want to do,
less about what you want to do and | 1:14:20 | 1:14:24 | |
more about how you want to be. It's
interesting, New Year's resolutions | 1:14:24 | 1:14:29 | |
are something many people make today
or tomorrow morning and sort of give | 1:14:29 | 1:14:33 | |
up by next weekend. It's very hard
to change, isn't it? It's really | 1:14:33 | 1:14:37 | |
hard to change. Only 8% of us follow
through on our New Year's | 1:14:37 | 1:14:43 | |
resolutions. But the business of
making a change in our lives, and we | 1:14:43 | 1:14:50 | |
all have mental health, we can all
make steps to improve our mental | 1:14:50 | 1:14:54 | |
health but it's not easy. What we
are calling for is much more | 1:14:54 | 1:14:59 | |
encouragement about the small steps.
Do little things, make a firm | 1:14:59 | 1:15:03 | |
intention that don't necessarily put
pressure to leave behind the old | 1:15:03 | 1:15:08 | |
self. Start with the assumption that
you are is OK and it's about | 1:15:08 | 1:15:14 | |
building up from that base rather
than scrapping the old youth. One of | 1:15:14 | 1:15:20 | |
the things you have talked about is
the pressure that people feel on New | 1:15:20 | 1:15:24 | |
Year's Eve to be chipper and jolly.
If you are predisposed to having | 1:15:24 | 1:15:29 | |
problems with crowds and anxiety,
it's another night? Absolutely, and | 1:15:29 | 1:15:37 | |
we are trying to highlight that it
is 190 365 and to release the | 1:15:37 | 1:15:42 | |
pressure on you, go out if you want
to, a lot of people it makes them | 1:15:42 | 1:15:47 | |
feel great but if you don't want to,
I myself will be in bed at 10pm with | 1:15:47 | 1:15:52 | |
a hot chocolate and that is
absolutely fine. I will be out on | 1:15:52 | 1:15:56 | |
other nights. I think what we are
trying to say is try to - the more | 1:15:56 | 1:16:01 | |
we can listen to ourselves and
understand what works for us, it is | 1:16:01 | 1:16:05 | |
actually the first step in really
developing a really positive, good | 1:16:05 | 1:16:09 | |
mental health. Quite a few of us
will be in bed early tonight because | 1:16:09 | 1:16:14 | |
we will be at work early tomorrow,
you are right. Ruefully, the mental | 1:16:14 | 1:16:18 | |
health foundation is what you do, as
2017 with the attention focused on | 1:16:18 | 1:16:25 | |
mental health with the Royal Family,
have you seen a significant shift in | 1:16:25 | 1:16:28 | |
the way that mental health is being
regarded? What people have said they | 1:16:28 | 1:16:32 | |
wanted the years, isn't it?
Absolutely, and we see it and lots | 1:16:32 | 1:16:36 | |
of different ways. I've-10 years ago
it wouldn't be included in the sort | 1:16:36 | 1:16:41 | |
of clutch of really big social
causes. We know we need to address | 1:16:41 | 1:16:45 | |
climate change and cancer and
poverty that people are recognising | 1:16:45 | 1:16:48 | |
that mental health is absolute
fundamental to us being able to | 1:16:48 | 1:16:52 | |
thrive in life and it is a big
cultural shift happening and we are | 1:16:52 | 1:16:56 | |
going to look back on this period of
time and say we were part of | 1:16:56 | 1:17:00 | |
something that really moved the
cultural dialogue on a fundamental | 1:17:00 | 1:17:03 | |
part of what it means to live a
fulfilling life and it is exciting. | 1:17:03 | 1:17:08 | |
Thank you fewer time, happy new
Year, enjoy your early night and | 1:17:08 | 1:17:12 | |
you're hot chocolate. | 1:17:12 | 1:17:14 | |
It's 7:17 and you're watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 1:17:14 | 1:17:17 | |

despite winds of 80 miles an hour | 1:17:21 | 1:17:24 | |
threatening to cause disruption. | 1:17:24 | 1:17:26 | |
Three days of growing
anti-government protests in Iran | 1:17:26 | 1:17:28 | |
have turned violent. | 1:17:28 | 1:17:29 | |
Two demonstrators are reported
to have been shot dead. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:42 | |
We mentioned those stiff breezes,
the strong winds that will be | 1:17:42 | 1:17:45 | |
expected. | 1:17:45 | 1:17:46 | |
Here's Matt with a look
at this morning's weather. | 1:17:46 | 1:17:50 | |
Good morning. It isn't all bad news,
that he is, the weather will have an | 1:17:50 | 1:17:55 | |
impact on those of you trying to
travel across country, particularly | 1:17:55 | 1:17:58 | |
across Northern | 1:17:58 | 1:17:59 | |
travel across country, particularly
across Northern Ireland and southern | 1:17:59 | 1:18:00 | |
Scotland. This is where the Met
Office's and the warning is in | 1:18:00 | 1:18:03 | |
place, there will be some travel
disruption and may be minor damage | 1:18:03 | 1:18:07 | |
and the winds, close to 80 mile an
hour gusts in some areas. It is all | 1:18:07 | 1:18:15 | |
linked to Storm Dylan, this little
book of cloud has been developing | 1:18:15 | 1:18:19 | |
through the night and you can see
the core of that is just about to | 1:18:19 | 1:18:22 | |
spread its way into the west of --
hook. Scotland on the southern flank | 1:18:22 | 1:18:26 | |
of it you can see the strong wind,
northern Ireland to the next couple | 1:18:26 | 1:18:30 | |
of hours the peak in the wind
strength, maybe 80 mile an hour | 1:18:30 | 1:18:34 | |
gust, 70 or 80 through the morning
and parts of southern Scotland, | 1:18:34 | 1:18:37 | |
maybe even the central belt. But
widely southern Scotland Northern | 1:18:37 | 1:18:40 | |
Ireland and into northern England
gust over 60 miles an hour and not | 1:18:40 | 1:18:44 | |
as windy in northern Scotland, they
have rain, sleet and hill snow to | 1:18:44 | 1:18:48 | |
content with and it will be cloudy,
wind picking up into the afternoon. | 1:18:48 | 1:18:53 | |
Also, it will ease. Showers in
northern Ireland but not a huge | 1:18:53 | 1:18:57 | |
amount of wood weather a rounded
northern England, a dry start to | 1:18:57 | 1:19:03 | |
many, wild conditions there but the
rain is lingering by 9am to South | 1:19:03 | 1:19:06 | |
and East of London whereas further
west brighter conditions developing | 1:19:06 | 1:19:10 | |
for a while. The sunshine for a
time, Wales and south-west, but we | 1:19:10 | 1:19:15 | |
will see some showers developing,
heavy and thundery later on. Winds | 1:19:15 | 1:19:20 | |
will ease across Scotland, Northern
Ireland and northern England into | 1:19:20 | 1:19:22 | |
the afternoon but remaining Tostaree
for many and it will bring showers | 1:19:22 | 1:19:26 | |
and to many western areas of the
second half of New Year's Eve. | 1:19:26 | 1:19:29 | |
Eastern areas a little bit more dry
and bright with some sunshine but a | 1:19:29 | 1:19:33 | |
call today than yesterday,
temperatures down a few degrees, | 1:19:33 | 1:19:36 | |
leading us into a call evening, take
a warm jacket and some of you, | 1:19:36 | 1:19:40 | |
waterproof. Showers across England
and Wales, some dry this evening, | 1:19:40 | 1:19:45 | |
Edinburgh, Newcastle you may get
away with it, throughout the evening | 1:19:45 | 1:19:48 | |
but it will still chilly as the
winds eases down. It takes us into | 1:19:48 | 1:19:52 | |
New Year's Day, a little bit of a
fine day with a weather system which | 1:19:52 | 1:19:56 | |
will bring some stormy weather to
France the new state but a question | 1:19:56 | 1:20:00 | |
as to whether it comes as far north.
It is set to bring Wayne go for rain | 1:20:00 | 1:20:04 | |
and dusty winds. Elsewhere, sunny
spells, showers to Scotland, | 1:20:04 | 1:20:10 | |
Northern Ireland, spreading into
northern England and Wales is to go | 1:20:10 | 1:20:13 | |
into the afternoon but all of you
will see some sunshine at some point | 1:20:13 | 1:20:17 | |
in years eight, a fresh and rather
cool breeze, planned to your | 1:20:17 | 1:20:21 | |
festivities tonight. Tuesday, the
first working day of the new year, a | 1:20:21 | 1:20:27 | |
bright and frosty rain coming from
west to east, some snow as well for | 1:20:27 | 1:20:32 | |
a time across Scotland on the hills.
Back to you, Roger. Thank you, that. | 1:20:32 | 1:20:37 | |
Let's catch up with the sport
quickly and Kat is here this | 1:20:37 | 1:20:41 | |
morning. Jose Mourinho not a happy
man? Not at all, there was a time | 1:20:41 | 1:20:46 | |
when he believed that his side
should be given a penalty then maybe | 1:20:46 | 1:20:50 | |
they would have been able to beat
Southampton but as it was it was a | 1:20:50 | 1:20:55 | |
goalless draw so once again,
Manchester United dropping points. | 1:20:55 | 1:21:00 | |
That is the moment behind where he
realised he wasn't going to get the | 1:21:00 | 1:21:06 | |
penalty he sighs deserves but tough
times I think for Manchester United | 1:21:06 | 1:21:10 | |
and Manchester City obviously
streaking away with it at the top of | 1:21:10 | 1:21:13 | |
the Premier League. | 1:21:13 | 1:21:14 | |
So Jose Mourinho isn't a happy man
and his Manchester United side have | 1:21:14 | 1:21:18 | |
now lost further ground
on the league leaders | 1:21:18 | 1:21:20 | |
Manchester City after a goalless
draw against Southampton. | 1:21:20 | 1:21:22 | |
Chelsea have overtaken them
and moved up to second | 1:21:22 | 1:21:25 | |
with their 5-0 thrashing of Stoke,
which is where Alex South | 1:21:25 | 1:21:27 | |
starts his round-up
of yesterday's action. | 1:21:27 | 1:21:29 | |
Chelsea rounded off
2017 in some style. | 1:21:29 | 1:21:31 | |
COMMENTATOR: Oh, brilliant! | 1:21:31 | 1:21:33 | |
The champions demolished Stoke City
5-0 to make it five wins | 1:21:33 | 1:21:36 | |
from their last six games and push
Stoke further towards trouble. | 1:21:36 | 1:21:43 | |
Today, we finished a great year -
a great year for us. | 1:21:43 | 1:21:51 | |
For my players, for the club,
for the fans, especially for me | 1:21:51 | 1:21:54 | |
because in my first experience
in a new league in England, | 1:21:54 | 1:22:00 | |
and to win the title is not easy. | 1:22:00 | 1:22:03 | |
Conte's team now trail leaders
Manchester City by 13 points, | 1:22:03 | 1:22:06 | |
but are up to second,
courtesy of Manchester United | 1:22:06 | 1:22:08 | |
failing to defeat Southampton. | 1:22:08 | 1:22:11 | |
It wasn't a good day
for Jose Mourinho as he saw | 1:22:11 | 1:22:14 | |
Romelu Lukaku stretchered off early
on, and later saw the referee wave | 1:22:14 | 1:22:18 | |
away what he thought
was a certain penalty. | 1:22:18 | 1:22:26 | |
Liverpool were up to fourth
as Mohamed Salah scored his 16th | 1:22:26 | 1:22:29 | |
and 17th league goals of the season
to help the Reds come from behind | 1:22:29 | 1:22:33 | |
to win against Leicester. | 1:22:33 | 1:22:34 | |
to win against Leicester. | 1:22:34 | 1:22:35 | |
The only negative being that Salah
limped off later on. | 1:22:35 | 1:22:38 | |
At the other end of the table,
there was plenty of late drama - | 1:22:38 | 1:22:42 | |
Bournemouth scored an 88th minute
winner against Everton to move out | 1:22:42 | 1:22:45 | |
of the bottom three,
and Swansea left it even later | 1:22:45 | 1:22:48 | |
as they completed a remarkable
turnaround against Watford, | 1:22:48 | 1:22:50 | |
scoring in the 86th
and 90th minutes. | 1:22:50 | 1:22:55 | |
Sacked last week by
Sheffield Wednesday, | 1:22:55 | 1:22:58 | |
celebrating his new side's
victory six days later, | 1:22:58 | 1:23:01 | |
Carlos Carvalhal will tell you that
a week is a long time in football, | 1:23:01 | 1:23:04 | |
let alone a year. | 1:23:04 | 1:23:09 | |
Alex Howes, BBC News. | 1:23:09 | 1:23:10 | |
Details of all yesterday's results
are on the BBC Sport website. | 1:23:10 | 1:23:13 | |
There's two matches today -
leaders Manchester City can go 16 | 1:23:13 | 1:23:16 | |
points clear if they
beat Crystal Palace. | 1:23:16 | 1:23:18 | |
Celtic go into the winter break 8
points clear of second-placed | 1:23:18 | 1:23:21 | |
Aberdeen after the Old Firm
derby ended in stalemate. | 1:23:21 | 1:23:25 | |
Brendan Rodgers' side had the best
of the game in the first half | 1:23:25 | 1:23:29 | |
with Scott Sinclair twice
missing good chances. | 1:23:29 | 1:23:30 | |
But in the second half,
Rangers were denied by some | 1:23:30 | 1:23:33 | |
brilliant saves from Craig Gordon. | 1:23:33 | 1:23:35 | |
They stay in third, 11
points behind the leaders. | 1:23:35 | 1:23:37 | |
Elsewhere there were wins
for Hamilton, Partick and Dundee. | 1:23:37 | 1:23:47 | |
Remarkable stuff coming up. | 1:23:47 | 1:23:48 | |
Serena Williams was back
on a tennis court yesterday, | 1:23:48 | 1:23:51 | |
less than four months after giving
birth to her daughter. | 1:23:51 | 1:23:54 | |
She was playing in an exhibition
match in Abu Dhabi against | 1:23:54 | 1:23:56 | |
the Latvian Jelena Ostapenko. | 1:23:56 | 1:23:58 | |
Williams lost the match
on a tiebreak but said | 1:23:58 | 1:24:00 | |
she was really proud
of being able to compete. | 1:24:00 | 1:24:03 | |
She hadn't played since winning her
23rd major singles title | 1:24:03 | 1:24:05 | |
at January's Australian Open,
which she won while eight weeks | 1:24:05 | 1:24:08 | |
pregnant. | 1:24:08 | 1:24:15 | |
Give that woman some kind of metal! | 1:24:15 | 1:24:18 | |
-- medal. | 1:24:18 | 1:24:19 | |
Ben Stokes won't be flying out
to Australia with England's One Day | 1:24:19 | 1:24:22 | |
squad as he continues to await news
of any possible charges against him | 1:24:22 | 1:24:25 | |
squad as he continues to await news
of any possible charges against him | 1:24:25 | 1:24:26 | |
from the Crown Prosecution Service
following an incident outside | 1:24:26 | 1:24:28 | |
a Bristol nightclub in September. | 1:24:28 | 1:24:30 | |
Stokes was named in the squad
for the games, which begin | 1:24:30 | 1:24:33 | |
after the fifth and final
Test match in Sydney, | 1:24:33 | 1:24:35 | |
but it's now thought highly unlikely
he will be involved in the series. | 1:24:35 | 1:24:39 | |
-- Phil 'the Power' Taylor
will go for his 17th world | 1:24:39 | 1:24:42 | |
title tomorrow night. | 1:24:42 | 1:24:43 | |
He beat Jamie Lewis
in the semifinals of the PDC World | 1:24:43 | 1:24:45 | |
Championship. | 1:24:45 | 1:24:46 | |
But he'll have to beat Rob Cross,
the man who pulled off a major shock | 1:24:46 | 1:24:50 | |
in the other semifinal to knock out
the reigning champion and world | 1:24:50 | 1:24:53 | |
number one Michael van Gerwen. | 1:24:53 | 1:24:55 | |
Van Gerwen missed six darts to win,
and the 20th seed came back to win | 1:24:55 | 1:24:59 | |
it in the deciding leg of the 11th
set at gone midnight. | 1:24:59 | 1:25:02 | |
It's the first time Cross has played
at the PDC Championship. | 1:25:02 | 1:25:05 | |
I was looking on, the match went on
past midnight, I didn't stay up to | 1:25:05 | 1:25:09 | |
watch it. Phil Taylor was his hero
and he could spoil the fairy tale. | 1:25:09 | 1:25:13 | |
Twitter was going crazy! Thank you,. | 1:25:13 | 1:25:14 | |
Thank | 1:25:14 | 1:25:15 | |
You're watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 1:25:15 | 1:25:16 | |
It's 7:25. | 1:25:16 | 1:25:17 | |
Time now for a look
at the newspapers. | 1:25:17 | 1:25:19 | |
Historian Mike Finn is here to tell
us what's caught their eye. | 1:25:19 | 1:25:22 | |
Good morning. We will speak to you
in a minute. The Sunday Times front | 1:25:22 | 1:25:28 | |
pages is about the security minister
Ben Wallace, the comments we've been | 1:25:28 | 1:25:32 | |
reporting on internet firms not
doing enough to tackle terrorism. | 1:25:32 | 1:25:35 | |
The Mail on Sunday ran a story about
the plan for a special volunteer | 1:25:35 | 1:25:39 | |
force to man isolated ports around
the country. And the Mirror lead to | 1:25:39 | 1:25:45 | |
the pitch of a newborn, this is
Dylan, his grandfather was killed in | 1:25:45 | 1:25:50 | |
the Manchester bombing, he was born
just before Christmas. And finally | 1:25:50 | 1:25:55 | |
the Telegraph has a story, a warning
to shoppers about credit card fees | 1:25:55 | 1:25:59 | |
to backfire on shoppers. Mike is
here. Good to see you. New Year's | 1:25:59 | 1:26:06 | |
Eve. What have we got? Something
about women who, if they want to | 1:26:06 | 1:26:14 | |
have a career, they should have a
husband is happy to stay at home? | 1:26:14 | 1:26:18 | |
This is story that comes from the
incoming head of the girl school | 1:26:18 | 1:26:23 | |
association, she has said that if
some of her pupils want to enjoy a | 1:26:23 | 1:26:29 | |
full throttle career and become
leaders than they maybe should look | 1:26:29 | 1:26:32 | |
for a house husband. It isn't quite
as straightforward, comments are | 1:26:32 | 1:26:38 | |
generally for gender equality and
that really, we need to have a | 1:26:38 | 1:26:41 | |
mature conversation about how we
giving up responsibilities at home. | 1:26:41 | 1:26:44 | |
Which is quite right. She has five
children and also says she has a | 1:26:44 | 1:26:50 | |
house hunt owned and it also says
she has a motorbike as well which is | 1:26:50 | 1:26:54 | |
a fantastic photograph. It gives
them a full throttle headline. Yes, | 1:26:54 | 1:27:01 | |
but perhaps it was crew died in
there. She is saying that we have | 1:27:01 | 1:27:06 | |
these mature conversation, it isn't
a straightforward as saying actually | 1:27:06 | 1:27:09 | |
it should be women stay at home, men
stay at home, it is an issue about | 1:27:09 | 1:27:15 | |
how we giving up responsibilities in
a way that enables the family to | 1:27:15 | 1:27:18 | |
have what it wants and in
Scandinavia they do things | 1:27:18 | 1:27:21 | |
differently to ours and really, the
X factor she is talking about, the | 1:27:21 | 1:27:27 | |
worklife balance and how do you
manage it? Increasingly they are | 1:27:27 | 1:27:31 | |
duds who stay at home and their
wives, they are able to go out. -- | 1:27:31 | 1:27:36 | |
dads. I think the issue she raises
rightly is the continuing cultural | 1:27:36 | 1:27:43 | |
stereotype that men themselves often
internalise about what is | 1:27:43 | 1:27:45 | |
appropriate for them to do and
clearly they have made progress in | 1:27:45 | 1:27:49 | |
the country beyond that but there is
still some way to go which she is | 1:27:49 | 1:27:53 | |
making the point. Dozens of Cornish
people sold into slavery have been | 1:27:53 | 1:27:56 | |
forgotten, in the Telegraph. I
should declare an interest, this is | 1:27:56 | 1:28:01 | |
a colleague of mine, it has been
undertaking a study looking at the | 1:28:01 | 1:28:07 | |
history of piracy in Cornwall in the
south-west and story here is as you | 1:28:07 | 1:28:11 | |
know, in the 17 and 18th centuries
the Barbary pirates used to raid | 1:28:11 | 1:28:15 | |
Cornish and south-western maritime
communities, used to take people | 1:28:15 | 1:28:20 | |
physically into slavery to be sold
in North Africa in the slave markets | 1:28:20 | 1:28:24 | |
and the point is these communities
are largely forgotten about, the | 1:28:24 | 1:28:29 | |
tradition of that, and the community
has been missed. What they are | 1:28:29 | 1:28:35 | |
trying to do is restorative records,
they are incredible, there are | 1:28:35 | 1:28:39 | |
mentioned about families in the
records pleading for money from | 1:28:39 | 1:28:43 | |
authorities to pay ransoms and I
think at a time when the government | 1:28:43 | 1:28:47 | |
has been very strong on modern
slavery in terms of legislation | 1:28:47 | 1:28:50 | |
against it to try to pursue
prosecutions against it and trot | 1:28:50 | 1:28:53 | |
seeing the return of slave markets
in North Africa in the wake of | 1:28:53 | 1:28:56 | |
failed states, this kind of tangible
study of its impact in the UK | 1:28:56 | 1:29:00 | |
communities may seem an unfamiliar
history, a bit more poignant | 1:29:00 | 1:29:06 | |
bringing it to life. Just a quick
one, it will be back in one hour | 1:29:06 | 1:29:10 | |
when we are on the BBC News Channel.
Social media in the country, we have | 1:29:10 | 1:29:15 | |
heard a lot about alternative facts
and fake news and most of them admit | 1:29:15 | 1:29:19 | |
they don't check sources before
sharing. But how many of us are | 1:29:19 | 1:29:22 | |
guilty? I imagine you are not in
your job at the rest of us, perhaps. | 1:29:22 | 1:29:27 | |
This is a study from the Syria
campaign, it is looking at whether | 1:29:27 | 1:29:34 | |
or not social media users are savvy,

Hello, this is Breakfast
with Roger Johnson. | 1:30:27 | 1:30:32 | |
Good morning, here's a summary
of today's main stories from BBC | 1:30:32 | 1:30:35 | |
News. | 1:30:35 | 1:30:36 | |
Winds of up to 80 miles an hour
and a series of rail strikes | 1:30:36 | 1:30:40 | |
are threatening to cause disruption
as the UK prepares to see | 1:30:40 | 1:30:43 | |
in the New Year. | 1:30:43 | 1:30:44 | |
Members of the RMT union
are staging a 24-hour walkout | 1:30:44 | 1:30:47 | |
which will affect passengers
on CrossCountry and South Western | 1:30:47 | 1:30:49 | |
Railways. | 1:30:49 | 1:30:55 | |
Services from London Waterloo,
the UK's busiest station, | 1:30:55 | 1:30:57 | |
are also affected. | 1:30:57 | 1:30:58 | |
With hundreds of thousands of people
expected to take part | 1:30:58 | 1:31:01 | |
in celebrations, security services
and the police are urging people | 1:31:01 | 1:31:04 | |
to be vigilant. | 1:31:04 | 1:31:05 | |
Depite four terror attacks this
year, there will be fewer officers | 1:31:05 | 1:31:08 | |
on duty in London at
the New Year's Eve fireworks | 1:31:08 | 1:31:11 | |
but Scotland Yard says the numbers
are "proportionate" and reflect | 1:31:11 | 1:31:13 | |
the threat level, which
remains at "severe". | 1:31:13 | 1:31:16 | |
In some parts of the UK celebrations
for the New Year are already well | 1:31:16 | 1:31:20 | |
underway, not least in Edinburgh. | 1:31:20 | 1:31:22 | |
Last night, the city's
Hogmanay festival opened | 1:31:22 | 1:31:23 | |
with a torchlight procession
through it's historic streets. | 1:31:23 | 1:31:26 | |
More than 17,000 torchbearers
took part in the event, | 1:31:26 | 1:31:37 | |
including 30 Vikings who had
travelled down from Shetland | 1:31:37 | 1:31:39 | |
for the celebrations. | 1:31:39 | 1:31:40 | |
The Security Minister Ben Wallace
has said the government should | 1:31:40 | 1:31:43 | |
consider taxing internet firms,
unless they are more willing | 1:31:43 | 1:31:45 | |
to co-operate in tackling the threat
of terrorism in the UK. | 1:31:45 | 1:31:48 | |
In an interview in The Sunday Times, | 1:31:48 | 1:31:50 | |
Mr Wallace said technology fims that
refused the security services access | 1:31:50 | 1:31:53 | |
to encrypted messages
were "turning the internet | 1:31:53 | 1:31:56 | |
into an anarchic, violent space." | 1:31:56 | 1:32:00 | |
(ANI) Adding "We should stop
pretending that because they sit | 1:32:00 | 1:32:05 | |
-- Adding "We should stop pretending
that because they sit | 1:32:08 | 1:32:11 | |
on beanbags in T-shirts they are not
ruthless profiteers." | 1:32:11 | 1:32:13 | |
Google and Facebook are yet
to respond to the remarks. | 1:32:13 | 1:32:16 | |
Two demonstrators are reported
to have been shot dead in Iran | 1:32:16 | 1:32:19 | |
as anti-government protests spread
throughout the country, | 1:32:19 | 1:32:22 | |
reaching the capital, Tehran. | 1:32:22 | 1:32:23 | |
The wave of unrest
which began last week, | 1:32:23 | 1:32:25 | |
is the most serious since
the authorities suppressed months | 1:32:25 | 1:32:28 | |
of protests in 2009. | 1:32:28 | 1:32:29 | |
Demonstrators have been heard
shouting slogans in support | 1:32:29 | 1:32:31 | |
of the Shah and the Iranian royal
family for the first time | 1:32:31 | 1:32:34 | |
since the Islamic
Revolution 40 years ago. | 1:32:34 | 1:32:47 | |
That is a must on BBC One. We will
be on the BBC News Channel until | 1:32:47 | 1:32:52 | |
nine o'clock. | 1:32:52 | 1:32:55 | |
Anne Marie Tasker and Kofi Smiles
look back at the highlights of Hull | 1:32:55 | 1:32:58 | |
2017 and find out what impact this
year long festival of arts | 1:32:58 | 1:33:01 | |
and culture has had on the city. | 1:33:01 | 1:33:45 | |
That was amazing. | 1:34:24 | 1:34:25 | |
That was how we started this
season, Made in Hull. | 1:34:25 | 1:34:30 | |
2017 really did start with a bang. | 1:34:45 | 1:34:47 | |
With 3.5 tonnes of fireworks. | 1:34:47 | 1:34:48 | |
And Made in Hull, a spectacular
light show telling the story | 1:34:48 | 1:34:52 | |
of the city and its people. | 1:34:52 | 1:34:54 | |
What do you think to this
unbelievable display? | 1:34:54 | 1:34:58 | |
I thought it was amazing. | 1:34:58 | 1:35:00 | |
Absolutely fabulous. | 1:35:00 | 1:35:00 | |
I've got family in Canada
and they're watching it live now. | 1:35:00 | 1:35:03 | |
I'm from London and I think
if this was in London... | 1:35:03 | 1:35:06 | |
I can't explain, the reaction
you get is absolutely fantastic. | 1:35:06 | 1:35:14 | |
It's amazing. | 1:35:14 | 1:35:17 | |
Fantastic, I thought it was really
very moving, very emotional. | 1:35:17 | 1:35:20 | |
I am from Brazil and I spent two
New Years in Copacabana and it's | 1:35:20 | 1:35:23 | |
the same quality here. | 1:35:23 | 1:35:26 | |
It's amazing. | 1:35:26 | 1:35:27 | |
I am so proud of Hull. | 1:35:27 | 1:35:29 | |
It's absolutely amazing. | 1:35:29 | 1:35:33 | |
At the centrepiece of a season
called Made in Hull, | 1:35:33 | 1:35:36 | |
something that was. | 1:35:36 | 1:35:46 | |
A huge wind turbine blade,
handmade at the city's | 1:35:46 | 1:35:49 | |
Siemens factory. | 1:35:49 | 1:35:49 | |
An incredible 75 metres long,
and to put that into some | 1:35:49 | 1:35:52 | |
perspective, I am about six foot
so I would fit along this 41 times. | 1:35:52 | 1:36:04 | |
That's a lot of Kofi. | 1:36:04 | 1:36:06 | |
Getting it in was a big job. | 1:36:06 | 1:36:10 | |
50 lamp posts, traffic lights
and barriers were taken down | 1:36:10 | 1:36:13 | |
for its four hour journey
from factory to city centre. | 1:36:13 | 1:36:16 | |
And it drew in the crowds -
one in five people who came to see | 1:36:16 | 1:36:20 | |
it were from outside
Hull and East Yorkshire. | 1:36:20 | 1:36:22 | |
Caroline Quentin and Mark Addy
starred in the world premiere | 1:36:22 | 1:36:25 | |
of The Hypocrite. | 1:36:25 | 1:36:28 | |
I've spent the last two days running
round inside a cardboard box | 1:36:32 | 1:36:35 | |
which represents a commode,
for reasons too complicated | 1:36:35 | 1:36:38 | |
to go into. | 1:36:38 | 1:36:47 | |
The play was by award winning
Hull-born writer Richard Bean | 1:36:47 | 1:36:50 | |
and told the story of Hull's role
in the start of the English Civil | 1:36:50 | 1:36:59 | |
War. | 1:36:59 | 1:36:59 | |
Shutting the city's
gate on the king. | 1:36:59 | 1:37:01 | |
Who will make the first advance? | 1:37:01 | 1:37:03 | |
I'm really looking forward
to the people of Hull | 1:37:03 | 1:37:05 | |
seeing this play. | 1:37:05 | 1:37:11 | |
There's so much great stuff in it. | 1:37:11 | 1:37:13 | |
Some of the jokes,
they are so deeply entrenched | 1:37:13 | 1:37:17 | |
in the culture here,
they are going to love it. | 1:37:17 | 1:37:20 | |
The show had the theatre's biggest
cast, biggest set and spectacular | 1:37:20 | 1:37:23 | |
special effects, and it won
a new audience, one third of them | 1:37:23 | 1:37:26 | |
who had never been to
this theatre before. | 1:37:26 | 1:37:30 | |
February brought
another world premiere. | 1:37:30 | 1:37:32 | |
6000 Pipes, written by Britain's
most popular living composer, | 1:37:32 | 1:37:41 | |
Sir Karl Jenkins. | 1:37:41 | 1:37:42 | |
# There's a Starman waiting
in the sky...# Weeks later | 1:37:42 | 1:37:50 | |
the orchestra made way for one
of David Bowie's old bandmates, | 1:37:50 | 1:37:54 | |
the Spider from Mars,
Woody Woodmansey. | 1:37:54 | 1:37:58 | |
The last surviving member
of the band from Hull performed | 1:37:58 | 1:38:00 | |
the Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust
album live and in full | 1:38:00 | 1:38:03 | |
for the first time ever. | 1:38:03 | 1:38:05 | |
It is somewhere that Bowie
wanted to play himself. | 1:38:05 | 1:38:07 | |
He knew we were from here. | 1:38:07 | 1:38:16 | |
So to come back now, to Hull
the City Of Culture is amazing. | 1:38:16 | 1:38:24 | |
Made in Hull also celebrated
pioneering women of the City Of | 1:38:24 | 1:38:27 | |
Culture. | 1:38:27 | 1:38:28 | |
From the world's first woman
conductor to the first women's world | 1:38:28 | 1:38:42 | |
boxing champion Barbara Buttrick. | 1:38:42 | 1:38:43 | |
I think all this talk about girls
not boxing is old-fashioned. | 1:38:43 | 1:38:46 | |
Girls aren't the delicate
flowers they used to be | 1:38:46 | 1:38:49 | |
and anyhow my boyfriend
doesn't mind. | 1:38:49 | 1:38:50 | |
Art's original bad girl
from her performance art collective | 1:38:50 | 1:38:53 | |
and one of Hull's most famous
daughters, Maureen Lipman, | 1:38:53 | 1:38:55 | |
on inspiring the next generation. | 1:38:55 | 1:38:59 | |
If there's one kid out
there watching, who thinks, | 1:38:59 | 1:39:02 | |
"God, if that white-haired woman
with spectacles can be on telly, | 1:39:02 | 1:39:05 | |
so can I." | 1:39:05 | 1:39:09 | |
And even if you are not famous
and from Hull you could pretend | 1:39:09 | 1:39:12 | |
to be, as photography show
Hollywood Icons let people take | 1:39:12 | 1:39:15 | |
on the favourite film roles. | 1:39:15 | 1:39:19 | |
And there were other
ways to get involved, | 1:39:19 | 1:39:23 | |
people choosing coloured filters
for their flats as part of this | 1:39:23 | 1:39:26 | |
community project, called
I Wish To Communicate With You. | 1:39:26 | 1:39:29 | |
I think is brilliant,
it makes you feel good that | 1:39:29 | 1:39:32 | |
you are part of the City Of Culture. | 1:39:32 | 1:39:36 | |
By March nine out of ten
people in Hull had been | 1:39:36 | 1:39:39 | |
to a City Of Culture event
and with 60 community projects | 1:39:39 | 1:39:42 | |
in 2017, many were even taking part. | 1:39:42 | 1:39:44 | |
That was one of the community
projects put together by people | 1:39:44 | 1:39:48 | |
from Hull for people from Hull. | 1:39:48 | 1:39:53 | |
Really a great way to
get everyone involved. | 1:39:53 | 1:39:55 | |
The woman who masterminded
it is Sharon Darley. | 1:39:55 | 1:39:59 | |
Sharon, before 2017 some people
might have thought art is not | 1:39:59 | 1:40:02 | |
for me, is just for
the cultural elite. | 1:40:02 | 1:40:04 | |
Has this project changed that? | 1:40:04 | 1:40:05 | |
Yes! | 1:40:05 | 1:40:09 | |
In what ways, what have you seen? | 1:40:09 | 1:40:11 | |
The whole year has changed that,
the project we were involved | 1:40:11 | 1:40:14 | |
with definitely helped
oil the wheels. | 1:40:14 | 1:40:16 | |
What changes have you seen,
just explain to people who don't | 1:40:16 | 1:40:26 | |
know Hull, the problems
in the estate where you started that | 1:40:26 | 1:40:30 | |
work. | 1:40:30 | 1:40:33 | |
Lots of the usual inner-city
challenges, lack of employment, | 1:40:33 | 1:40:36 | |
lack of prospects. | 1:40:36 | 1:40:38 | |
Lack of aspiration sometimes. | 1:40:38 | 1:40:40 | |
Although I like to say that I work
with a really creative, | 1:40:40 | 1:40:43 | |
innovative, funny community. | 1:40:43 | 1:40:44 | |
Do you think 2017
has drawn that out? | 1:40:44 | 1:40:46 | |
I think so, and it
doesn't take a lot. | 1:40:46 | 1:40:48 | |
How can you keep these things going,
for the people who might not | 1:40:48 | 1:40:52 | |
have the time or the money to go
to theatre or the art gallery? | 1:40:52 | 1:40:56 | |
I'm going to say the L Word, legacy. | 1:40:56 | 1:40:58 | |
This year is a beautiful launch pad. | 1:40:58 | 1:41:01 | |
It is now up to us to keep it
going and going and make it, | 1:41:01 | 1:41:05 | |
if it is around for a long time,
the more chance you've got | 1:41:05 | 1:41:09 | |
of seeing stuff. | 1:41:09 | 1:41:15 | |
Sharon, thank you so much. | 1:41:15 | 1:41:17 | |
And there were so many more
community events stretching | 1:41:17 | 1:41:19 | |
into season two called
Roots and Routes. | 1:41:19 | 1:41:21 | |
My favourite was seeing
Katy Perry at Big Weekend, | 1:41:21 | 1:41:25 | |
she was for me one of
the highlights of season two. | 1:41:25 | 1:41:28 | |
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE). | 1:41:28 | 1:41:34 | |
Season two looked to Hull's
place in the world. | 1:41:42 | 1:41:45 | |
And you don't get much more
global than Katy Perry. | 1:41:45 | 1:41:48 | |
Dozens of stellar pop acts came
to Burton Constable near Hull | 1:42:02 | 1:42:05 | |
for Radio 1's Big Weekend. | 1:42:05 | 1:42:10 | |
In a festival environment just
outside of Hull is crazy. | 1:42:10 | 1:42:12 | |
It is so cool. | 1:42:12 | 1:42:18 | |
To have this on your doorstep. | 1:42:18 | 1:42:19 | |
We keep running into people we know. | 1:42:19 | 1:42:21 | |
It is like all the city
in a big place. | 1:42:21 | 1:42:23 | |
Just from the crowd you can always
tell what type of energy is out | 1:42:26 | 1:42:30 | |
there, and it sounds like people
really appreciate the music, | 1:42:30 | 1:42:33 | |
it seems like a real freedom here. | 1:42:33 | 1:42:35 | |
Music should be somewhere
where people can come together no | 1:42:35 | 1:42:38 | |
matter what background you are from. | 1:42:38 | 1:42:39 | |
We need music to connect and I don't
think that should ever be something | 1:42:39 | 1:42:43 | |
people are afraid
to come together for. | 1:42:43 | 1:42:45 | |
We saw Stormzy earlier. | 1:42:45 | 1:42:47 | |
Are you a grime fan? | 1:42:49 | 1:42:54 | |
I'm interested in the grime scene,
and he's one of the best. | 1:42:54 | 1:42:57 | |
I saw Little Mi earlier,
they are trained, they are in | 1:42:57 | 1:43:02 | |
the dressing room next to mine
and their vocal warm-ups | 1:43:02 | 1:43:05 | |
were quite impressive. | 1:43:05 | 1:43:06 | |
I don't think I can nail that. | 1:43:06 | 1:43:11 | |
I'm going to stay at
the French level, below that. | 1:43:11 | 1:43:17 | |
But that was not the only
festival in town. | 1:43:17 | 1:43:33 | |
North Atlantic Flux celebrated
Hull's historic ties to Scandinavia | 1:43:33 | 1:43:35 | |
and was created by the
musician John Grant. | 1:43:35 | 1:43:40 | |
Hull is a place that has been
on my radar for some time, | 1:43:40 | 1:43:43 | |
several of the artists I admire have
connections to Hull. | 1:43:43 | 1:43:46 | |
I think you will see what Hull has
to offer and also things | 1:43:46 | 1:43:50 | |
from the North Atlantic,
it is quite Scandinavian. | 1:43:50 | 1:43:56 | |
Another event with sound
at its heart, Height of the Reeds | 1:43:56 | 1:43:59 | |
was a sonic journey
across the iconic Humber Bridge. | 1:43:59 | 1:44:11 | |
The Swans bend their necks
backwards to see God. | 1:44:11 | 1:44:16 | |
They know the magnetism
of the blue space. | 1:44:16 | 1:44:19 | |
Listening through headphones,
they are hearing a piece of work | 1:44:19 | 1:44:23 | |
which combines poetry with sounds
of the bridge as it creaks and sways | 1:44:23 | 1:44:26 | |
in the wind. | 1:44:26 | 1:44:27 | |
Opera North's chorus and orchestra
married with sound recordings | 1:44:27 | 1:44:30 | |
of the bridge itself. | 1:44:30 | 1:44:31 | |
Look up! | 1:44:31 | 1:44:31 | |
And a Hull schoolgirl
who guided the audience. | 1:44:31 | 1:44:35 | |
It will be weird hearing myself,
but it will be pretty cool. | 1:44:35 | 1:44:44 | |
Australian company Circa brought
circus, dance and sound | 1:44:44 | 1:44:46 | |
to a Hull graveyard. | 1:44:46 | 1:44:50 | |
A horse, horse, my
kingdom for a horse! | 1:44:50 | 1:44:56 | |
And more world-class
theatre with Matt Fraser | 1:44:56 | 1:44:58 | |
in Shakespeare's Richard III. | 1:44:58 | 1:45:06 | |
I'm a deformed actor playing
a deformed character for the first | 1:45:06 | 1:45:09 | |
time in Britain, which is
extraordinary that it should be | 1:45:09 | 1:45:11 | |
the first but exciting
that I get to do it. | 1:45:11 | 1:45:21 | |
Thousands came to see
the Weeping Window poppies on tour | 1:45:21 | 1:45:23 | |
from the Tower of London. | 1:45:23 | 1:45:27 | |
And revealed in more ways than one,
more than 3000 people from around | 1:45:27 | 1:45:31 | |
the world who took
part in Sea of Hull. | 1:45:31 | 1:45:38 | |
In April they saw the final artwork
by Spencer Tunick unveiled | 1:45:38 | 1:45:41 | |
in the gallery. | 1:45:41 | 1:45:42 | |
I'm about there. | 1:45:42 | 1:45:43 | |
You have only one
life, just live it. | 1:45:43 | 1:45:45 | |
I don't care if anyone
sees me or not. | 1:45:45 | 1:45:48 | |
# I've got the eye of the Tiger,
a fighter, dancing through | 1:45:48 | 1:45:51 | |
the fire #. | 1:45:51 | 1:45:54 | |
Big Weekend was a highlight
of season two, the perfect warm up | 1:45:54 | 1:45:58 | |
for a season of festivals
in the City Of Culture. | 1:45:58 | 1:46:10 | |
We are now halfway through the year
and it is clear that Hull is getting | 1:46:10 | 1:46:14 | |
pretty good at putting
on unexpected, innovative | 1:46:14 | 1:46:16 | |
and exciting events like this
installation, and that | 1:46:16 | 1:46:18 | |
that is changing
perceptions of the city. | 1:46:18 | 1:46:22 | |
It was not that long ago when Hull
was voted Britain's Crappest Town, | 1:46:22 | 1:46:25 | |
but if you look in the papers today
you will see that is no | 1:46:25 | 1:46:29 | |
longer the case. | 1:46:29 | 1:46:30 | |
And with a summer packed full
of events to come things got | 1:46:30 | 1:46:33 | |
better and better. | 1:46:33 | 1:46:36 | |
One, two, three! | 1:46:43 | 1:46:44 | |
# What are you thinking? | 1:46:44 | 1:46:46 | |
Summer was a season of festivals. | 1:46:46 | 1:46:48 | |
More than 100 local bands
at the Humber Street Sesh. | 1:46:48 | 1:47:00 | |
We are sitting on an amazing wealth
of talent in this region and I think | 1:47:00 | 1:47:04 | |
it is about time the rest
of the country was aware of it. | 1:47:04 | 1:47:11 | |
The tenth annual Freedom Festival,
with a lecture from former UN | 1:47:11 | 1:47:14 | |
Secretary-General Kofi Annan. | 1:47:14 | 1:47:20 | |
Art and culture is very
much part of life. | 1:47:20 | 1:47:23 | |
It brings people together. | 1:47:23 | 1:47:24 | |
They may not understand
what the artist is saying, | 1:47:24 | 1:47:27 | |
but they stop and look at it
and question something | 1:47:27 | 1:47:29 | |
within themselves. | 1:47:29 | 1:47:33 | |
The city's first ever children's
literature festival, | 1:47:33 | 1:47:35 | |
the Big Malarkey. | 1:47:35 | 1:47:41 | |
They all live at number 41
Fairfield Road, and their next-door | 1:47:41 | 1:47:44 | |
neighbour is Mr Nigel McNumpty,
who is a grizzly bear. | 1:47:44 | 1:47:50 | |
And Hull was even on show
at the world's largest arts | 1:47:50 | 1:47:53 | |
festival, the Edinburgh Fringe. | 1:47:53 | 1:47:56 | |
We are here representing
Hull, which is the UK | 1:47:56 | 1:47:59 | |
City Of Culture this year. | 1:47:59 | 1:48:03 | |
The Proms came here outside London
for the first time in more | 1:48:03 | 1:48:06 | |
than 80 years. | 1:48:06 | 1:48:08 | |
And Hull hosted the first
ever UK pride parade, | 1:48:08 | 1:48:11 | |
marking 50 years since the partial
decriminalisation of homosexuality. | 1:48:11 | 1:48:19 | |
We're bust to bust. | 1:48:19 | 1:48:20 | |
Yes, bust to bust, yeah,
after all these years. | 1:48:20 | 1:48:22 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. | 1:48:22 | 1:48:26 | |
As part of LGBT 50, Radio 2
to brought the I Feel Love | 1:48:26 | 1:48:29 | |
concert to town. | 1:48:29 | 1:48:33 | |
Today, I feel really reflective
and I feel I kind of stand | 1:48:33 | 1:48:37 | |
on the shoulders of great
people who have done - | 1:48:37 | 1:48:39 | |
you know, like, Marc Almond's here. | 1:48:39 | 1:48:41 | |
I mean, that's just like,
he's an amazing artist an amazing | 1:48:41 | 1:48:44 | |
advocate for LGBT people. | 1:48:44 | 1:48:46 | |
Alison Moyer, amazing. | 1:48:46 | 1:48:48 | |
So it's just why would I not say No
to be in the company | 1:48:48 | 1:48:52 | |
of those people? | 1:48:52 | 1:48:53 | |
Hello from Hull, the
2017 City of Culture. | 1:48:53 | 1:48:56 | |
Hull took over the airwaves
again in September with | 1:48:56 | 1:48:58 | |
Contains Strong Language,
a festival celebrating poetry | 1:48:58 | 1:49:00 | |
and spoken word. | 1:49:00 | 1:49:06 | |
What is exciting is to see the Hull
acts and the Hull language | 1:49:06 | 1:49:10 | |
taking its place
on this global stage. | 1:49:10 | 1:49:11 | |
Here, domes and statues. | 1:49:11 | 1:49:14 | |
Spires and cranes cluster. | 1:49:14 | 1:49:18 | |
You mentioned before
about Philip Larkin and Andrew | 1:49:18 | 1:49:20 | |
Marvell. | 1:49:20 | 1:49:21 | |
Yeah. | 1:49:21 | 1:49:21 | |
Reading both of them today,
who is Hull's best? | 1:49:21 | 1:49:24 | |
Oh. | 1:49:24 | 1:49:27 | |
Do you know, I never compare -
I never compare lovers, | 1:49:27 | 1:49:30 | |
I never compare poets. | 1:49:30 | 1:49:31 | |
I mean, I never compare music. | 1:49:31 | 1:49:32 | |
It's just different. | 1:49:32 | 1:49:33 | |
I'm glad we don't have
Oscars for poets - | 1:49:33 | 1:49:36 | |
I mean, it's ridiculous
enough for actors. | 1:49:36 | 1:49:38 | |
Then there was the weird
and wonderful - Bill Bailey invented | 1:49:38 | 1:49:41 | |
tales about strange items
in his cabinet of curiosities | 1:49:41 | 1:49:44 | |
at Hull's Maritime Museum. | 1:49:44 | 1:49:49 | |
Do you think you are the first
comedian to have curated | 1:49:49 | 1:49:52 | |
a museum exhibition? | 1:49:52 | 1:49:53 | |
I don't know. | 1:49:53 | 1:49:57 | |
I'm gonna say yes. | 1:49:57 | 1:49:58 | |
It certainly seems like
new ground, doesn't it? | 1:49:58 | 1:50:00 | |
I've decided! | 1:50:00 | 1:50:01 | |
In the spirit of this exhibition,
yes, I, Bill Bailey, | 1:50:01 | 1:50:04 | |
Bill of Bailey, am the first
comedian to curate an exhibition | 1:50:04 | 1:50:07 | |
of this kind anywhere in the world. | 1:50:07 | 1:50:10 | |
And an immersive experience like no
other, from high-tech shopping, | 1:50:10 | 1:50:13 | |
being captured by the police
of 1980 South Korea, | 1:50:13 | 1:50:16 | |
in a performance
called One Day Maybe. | 1:50:16 | 1:50:25 | |
If I don't make it out,
tell my Mum, Dad, sisters, | 1:50:25 | 1:50:28 | |
brothers that you can't
touch my stuff. | 1:50:28 | 1:50:30 | |
Oh, what? | 1:50:30 | 1:50:31 | |
Did you see that? | 1:50:31 | 1:50:33 | |
He knows I'm watching! | 1:50:33 | 1:50:35 | |
And one of the season's highlights,
a special gala performance | 1:50:35 | 1:50:38 | |
by the world-famous Royal Ballet. | 1:50:38 | 1:50:39 | |
Its principals joined a handful
of top ballet dancers who had | 1:50:39 | 1:50:43 | |
all taken their first lessons
at Skelton Hooper School | 1:50:43 | 1:50:45 | |
of Dance in Hull. | 1:50:45 | 1:50:48 | |
So many wanted tickets,
5,000 people watched on screens | 1:50:48 | 1:50:50 | |
in a nearby park. | 1:50:50 | 1:51:03 | |
The gala showing off the great
dancers who started their journey | 1:51:03 | 1:51:08 | |
to the top in the City Of Culture. | 1:51:08 | 1:51:16 | |
APPLAUSE. | 1:51:16 | 1:51:18 | |
Well, you may have noticed
in there some of the army of 2,500 | 1:51:18 | 1:51:21 | |
turquoise-coated volunteers
who are working for City Of Culture. | 1:51:21 | 1:51:24 | |
And joining us is -
this is special, we have three | 1:51:24 | 1:51:27 | |
generations of volunteers,
Leanne, Sheila, and Karen. | 1:51:27 | 1:51:30 | |
Now, how many hours of volunteering
have you put in this | 1:51:30 | 1:51:33 | |
year between you? | 1:51:33 | 1:51:37 | |
We've put in just under 1,300
hours of volunteering. | 1:51:37 | 1:51:39 | |
1,300? | 1:51:39 | 1:51:39 | |
Between the three of you? | 1:51:39 | 1:51:42 | |
Between the three of us. | 1:51:42 | 1:51:43 | |
Incredible. | 1:51:43 | 1:51:43 | |
And what have been your highlights? | 1:51:43 | 1:51:45 | |
Mine was One Day Maybe,
which I absolutely adored. | 1:51:45 | 1:51:47 | |
It was a long shift
but certainly worth the effort. | 1:51:47 | 1:51:50 | |
One of mine was the gay parade. | 1:51:50 | 1:51:52 | |
I really enjoyed that. | 1:51:52 | 1:51:55 | |
Gay pride? | 1:51:55 | 1:51:55 | |
Yeah. | 1:51:55 | 1:51:56 | |
I was lucky enough to be in Flood. | 1:51:56 | 1:51:58 | |
I was on one of the
floating platforms. | 1:51:58 | 1:52:00 | |
Oh, brilliant! | 1:52:00 | 1:52:00 | |
That was fantastic. | 1:52:00 | 1:52:04 | |
We will be seeing some of that
later in the programme. | 1:52:04 | 1:52:06 | |
And you'll be sticking
at it next year as well? | 1:52:06 | 1:52:09 | |
Yes, definitely. | 1:52:09 | 1:52:10 | |
And longer to come, yeah. | 1:52:10 | 1:52:12 | |
Yeah, we have really
enjoyed it, everybody. | 1:52:12 | 1:52:14 | |
We're just like one big family. | 1:52:14 | 1:52:17 | |
Thank you so much for coming down. | 1:52:17 | 1:52:19 | |
We are getting to
the end of our review. | 1:52:19 | 1:52:21 | |
Season four is called
Tell The World. | 1:52:21 | 1:52:37 | |
The final season of 2017
and the world premieres kept coming. | 1:52:37 | 1:52:40 | |
Maxine Peake's play,
The Last Testament of | 1:52:40 | 1:52:42 | |
Lillian Bilocca, told the story
of four Hull women who fought | 1:52:42 | 1:52:45 | |
the government for better
fisherman safety, and won. | 1:52:45 | 1:52:50 | |
The winner of this year's
Turner Prize is Lubaina Himid. | 1:52:50 | 1:53:03 | |
This year's Turner Prize was awarded
in Hull to Lubaina Himid, | 1:53:03 | 1:53:06 | |
the oldest winner in its history
and the first black woman | 1:53:06 | 1:53:09 | |
to win the prize. | 1:53:09 | 1:53:13 | |
Thank you, panel. | 1:53:13 | 1:53:15 | |
First of all, to the people
who stopped me in the streets | 1:53:15 | 1:53:18 | |
of Preston and Hull to wish me luck,
thank you, it worked. | 1:53:18 | 1:53:23 | |
The show at the Ferens Art Gallery
featuring the four short-listed | 1:53:23 | 1:53:27 | |
artists has drawn huge crowds -
more than double the average it | 1:53:27 | 1:53:30 | |
usually gets in London -
and already, the most second-visited | 1:53:30 | 1:53:33 | |
Turner Prize show ever. | 1:53:33 | 1:53:38 | |
Another treat for visual
art lovers was Hull, | 1:53:38 | 1:53:41 | |
Portrait of a City. | 1:53:41 | 1:53:43 | |
Every shot taken by world renowned
photographers Martin Parr | 1:53:43 | 1:53:46 | |
and Olivia Arthur in
the City Of Culture. | 1:53:46 | 1:53:51 | |
There you go. | 1:53:51 | 1:53:52 | |
Brilliant. | 1:53:52 | 1:53:53 | |
But the contemporary art was not
confined to galleries - | 1:53:53 | 1:53:55 | |
it took over the city streets
with huge installations like Flow | 1:53:55 | 1:53:58 | |
and A Hall for Hull. | 1:53:58 | 1:54:04 | |
And mythical mystical
beasts roamed the streets | 1:54:04 | 1:54:06 | |
for the Land Of Green
Ginger Unleashed parade - | 1:54:06 | 1:54:09 | |
the finale of a year of events that
of the artistic spectacle out | 1:54:09 | 1:54:12 | |
to the city's communities. | 1:54:12 | 1:54:15 | |
It was fantastic! | 1:54:15 | 1:54:18 | |
Well worth the wait,
and I want to see it again! | 1:54:18 | 1:54:22 | |
Oh, it was so good! | 1:54:22 | 1:54:24 | |
I didn't know what to expect. | 1:54:24 | 1:54:26 | |
I didn't know it would
be like that, though. | 1:54:26 | 1:54:28 | |
It was kind of scary
when the people came up to you. | 1:54:28 | 1:54:31 | |
It's what we've needed,
it's what the city's wanted, | 1:54:31 | 1:54:34 | |
and it just shows with the amount
of people who are here | 1:54:34 | 1:54:37 | |
that we all wanted it, you know? | 1:54:37 | 1:54:39 | |
Long may it continue. | 1:54:39 | 1:54:40 | |
Art even found its way
into hospital. | 1:54:40 | 1:54:42 | |
The footprint of every baby born
in Hull has been taken during 2017, | 1:54:42 | 1:54:46 | |
and along with the midwife's hand
print, they've made a huge mural | 1:54:46 | 1:54:49 | |
reflecting every new life
in the City Of Culture. | 1:54:49 | 1:54:56 | |
It's lovely that he was born
in 2017, and the little footprints | 1:54:56 | 1:54:59 | |
are a great idea. | 1:54:59 | 1:55:00 | |
I think they will be a gorgeous
little tribute to him and a lovely | 1:55:00 | 1:55:04 | |
tribute to all the staff as well. | 1:55:04 | 1:55:09 | |
On October 1, all of Hull's cream
phone boxes rang and the public took | 1:55:09 | 1:55:13 | |
calls from the future. | 1:55:13 | 1:55:19 | |
The live experience was part
of We Made Ourselves Over 2097 | 1:55:19 | 1:55:22 | |
and ran alongside five short sci-fi
films and an interactive app. | 1:55:22 | 1:55:30 | |
And another glimpse of a possible
future came from theatre company | 1:55:30 | 1:55:33 | |
Slung Low with a year-long
performance called Flood. | 1:55:33 | 1:55:39 | |
Tell me how I can save
them, save the world! | 1:55:39 | 1:55:42 | |
The dystopic story imagined Europe
flooded and its citizens | 1:55:42 | 1:55:45 | |
as refugees. | 1:55:45 | 1:55:48 | |
Told online, on TV, and in a series
of live performances in one | 1:55:48 | 1:55:52 | |
of Hull's old docks,
its ambition reflected that | 1:55:52 | 1:55:54 | |
of Hull's whole year
as City Of Culture. | 1:55:54 | 1:56:01 | |
That was some of the fantastic
moments from season four's | 1:56:01 | 1:56:03 | |
Tell the World. | 1:56:03 | 1:56:05 | |
And the man who made 2017
happen is its director, | 1:56:05 | 1:56:08 | |
Martin Green. | 1:56:08 | 1:56:09 | |
When you moved to Hull
three years ago, Martin, | 1:56:09 | 1:56:12 | |
did you ever imagine that 2017
would be as successful | 1:56:12 | 1:56:14 | |
as it has been? | 1:56:14 | 1:56:17 | |
Never in a million years
is the truthful answer. | 1:56:17 | 1:56:19 | |
I don't think anyone
would have that kind of ego. | 1:56:19 | 1:56:22 | |
It has been the most extraordinary
year in the life of this great city. | 1:56:22 | 1:56:26 | |
How would you sum up the changes
that you've seen over that time? | 1:56:26 | 1:56:30 | |
I think what we have seen here again
is how art is the life force | 1:56:30 | 1:56:34 | |
of a city and quite apart
from the many events and exhibitions | 1:56:34 | 1:56:37 | |
and performances, what you have seen
is a re-finding of a city's voice, | 1:56:37 | 1:56:40 | |
a re-finding of its pride,
and the rediscovery of a city | 1:56:40 | 1:56:43 | |
by many people who aren't
from this city as well. | 1:56:43 | 1:56:48 | |
Martin will leave soon and hand over
the reins to new management. | 1:56:48 | 1:56:51 | |
What is the one thing that
you would like to see carried | 1:56:51 | 1:56:55 | |
on as legacy from this year? | 1:56:55 | 1:56:56 | |
I think it's that ambition. | 1:56:56 | 1:56:58 | |
I think what we've done here this
year is the unexpected, | 1:56:58 | 1:57:01 | |
you know, really interesting
cultural experiences. | 1:57:01 | 1:57:02 | |
And I think this city has a great
ambition to be different, | 1:57:02 | 1:57:06 | |
and if Hull can continue to be
a city of the extraordinary, | 1:57:06 | 1:57:09 | |
then that would be one of the many
legacies that will come | 1:57:09 | 1:57:12 | |
from this year. | 1:57:12 | 1:57:13 | |
Thank you so much, Martin. | 1:57:13 | 1:57:14 | |
And that's it for our
review of 2017. | 1:57:14 | 1:57:16 | |
This year has been incredible. | 1:57:16 | 1:57:18 | |
Can you believe that there's been
at least one event every single day? | 1:57:18 | 1:57:22 | |
And we have been to most of them! | 1:57:22 | 1:57:24 | |
And if you want to take a look back,
you can go to our website. | 1:57:24 | 1:57:28 | |
It's just BBC.co.uk/Hull2017. | 1:57:28 | 1:57:32 | |
And there's been so much going on,
here are a few bits that we haven't | 1:57:32 | 1:57:36 | |
managed to squeeze in. | 1:57:36 | 1:57:37 | |
Bye-bye. | 1:57:37 | 1:57:37 | |
See ya! | 1:57:37 | 1:57:42 | |
If you've not heard of Fuzzfeed,
where the hell have you been? | 1:57:43 | 1:57:47 | |
ALL: Where have you been? | 1:57:47 | 1:57:47 | |
If you like your coffee hot,
let me be your coffee pot! | 1:58:06 | 1:58:10 | |
ROBOT: I am a loose cannon. | 1:58:24 | 1:58:27 | |
Good morning , wing commander. | 1:59:02 | 1:59:04 |
