0:00:09 > 0:00:09Hello.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11This is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Munchetty.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16The release of a serial sex attacker after less than ten years in prison.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Demands for the Parole Board to explain its decision.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Black Cab driver, John Worboys, was jailed for offences against 12

0:00:22 > 0:00:25women, but police believe he carried out more than 100 rapes

0:00:25 > 0:00:27and sexual assaults.

0:00:46 > 0:00:46Good morning.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48It's Friday the 5th of January.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Also this morning:

0:00:49 > 0:00:51A slump in new car sales.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Latest figures are expected to show they've dropped to their lowest

0:00:53 > 0:00:56level for six years.

0:00:56 > 0:01:03A squeeze on incomes, warriors for the economy, and a slump in the

0:01:03 > 0:01:09demand for diesel. -- worries. What could it mean for the car industry?

0:01:09 > 0:01:10Coffee with a conscience.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14A committee of MPs wants consumers to pay 25 pence for using takeaway

0:01:14 > 0:01:16cups to help fund better recycling facilities.

0:01:16 > 0:01:22The final chance for England to restore some Ashes pride is in the

0:01:22 > 0:01:31balance. They need a breakthrough. The hosts, 151-2.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32balance. They need a breakthrough. The hosts, 151-2. And the weather.

0:01:32 > 0:01:37Thankfully not as windy in the UK today. A dry day for some Showers as

0:01:37 > 0:01:43well. Snow in the Scottish hills. Getting cold this weekend. Details

0:01:43 > 0:01:45coming up. Thank you.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Getting cold this weekend. Details coming up. Thank you.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48First, our main story.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50The decision to release the serial sex offender,

0:01:50 > 0:01:53John Worboys, after less than 10 years in prison,

0:01:53 > 0:01:54has brought widespread condemnation.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57The Chair of the "Home Affairs Select Committee," Yvette Cooper,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00said she was "really shocked" that the former black cab driver

0:02:00 > 0:02:01was being freed.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04He was jailed in 2009 for offences against 12 female passengers,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06but police believe he actually carried out more than 100 rapes

0:02:06 > 0:02:07and sexual assaults.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12Our home affairs correspondent, Daniel Sandford, has more.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15For six years, John Worboys cruised smart areas of London in his black

0:02:15 > 0:02:19cab looking for women to drug and rape.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23When he was finally caught, the judge said he'd serve a minimum

0:02:23 > 0:02:26of eight years in prison and said he wouldn't be released

0:02:26 > 0:02:30until he was no longer a threat to women.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Worboys would show young women he picked up in his cab large wads

0:02:33 > 0:02:36of cash, saying he'd recently won big at the casino.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Then he'd offer them champagne, which he'd spiked with sedatives,

0:02:39 > 0:02:40and rape them.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43The judge gave him what's known as an indeterminate sentence,

0:02:43 > 0:02:45under which, people are only freed once they're no

0:02:45 > 0:02:51longer considered dangerous.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54But today, the BBC discovered that the Parole Board has decided

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Worboys will be released this month under supervision

0:02:56 > 0:02:58after spending less than ten years in prison.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01I've spoken to one of my clients, who is absolutely horrified

0:03:01 > 0:03:03and really distressed that nobody had the courtesy

0:03:03 > 0:03:06to inform her, so she's in the middle of cooking tea

0:03:06 > 0:03:10for her kids and she hears this on the radio, and feels absolutely

0:03:10 > 0:03:14sick to her stomach.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18The organisation, Rape Crisis, said it was far too soon for

0:03:18 > 0:03:24Worboys to be released.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Although police believed John Worboys attacked over 100

0:03:27 > 0:03:29women, he was only convicted of attacking 12.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31And only one of those convictions was for rape.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34And that's why his sentence was so short.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36All the same, under the indeterminate sentence rules,

0:03:36 > 0:03:39the Parole Board will need to have assured themselves that John Worboys

0:03:39 > 0:03:40was no longer a risk as a sexual predator.

0:03:43 > 0:03:49Daniel Sandford, BBC News.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Last year, new car sales in the UK fell for the first time since 2011.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Forecasts suggest they will continue to stuggle over

0:03:56 > 0:03:57the coming months too.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59So, Ben, what's causing this bump in the road?

0:03:59 > 0:04:04The great thing about numbers like this is it reflects how we are

0:04:04 > 0:04:11thinking, feeling, and spending. Exactly. We have not been splashing

0:04:11 > 0:04:19out. After years of solid and record growth, car sales fell by 5.6% last

0:04:19 > 0:04:24year. In itself, it may not seem like much of a fluctuation, but

0:04:24 > 0:04:30there are many reasons as to why. The end of cheap finance deals,

0:04:30 > 0:04:37personal contract payments. You pay a set amount every month and at the

0:04:37 > 0:04:41end of that period you have the choice to pay more and own the car

0:04:41 > 0:04:47or handed back and get a fresh one. That is great. Interests rates have

0:04:47 > 0:04:52been great. But now they are rising. A flood of second-hand cars come

0:04:52 > 0:05:00onto the market after those and they are much cheaper. But then there is

0:05:00 > 0:05:06uncertainty after Brexit. People I'm not sure about things and are

0:05:06 > 0:05:09holding off purchasing things. We have less money in our pockets as

0:05:09 > 0:05:17well. And there have been changes to car tax, meaning owning a car is

0:05:17 > 0:05:26becoming more expensive. On top of that, worrying about cash. All that

0:05:26 > 0:05:31together means it has been a tough time for the car market. In 45

0:05:31 > 0:05:35minutes I will speak to someone from the industry to ask what it means

0:05:35 > 0:05:40for them and carmaking in this country, and crucially, diesel cars.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45They fell by more than 17%. That is big news. We will talk about that

0:05:45 > 0:05:49later.There is a lot to talk about. Thank you.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52The United States is suspending almost all security aid to Pakistan

0:05:52 > 0:05:55because it says the country is failing to deal with terrorists

0:05:55 > 0:05:55there.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58The State Department says the freeze will remain in place until Islamabad

0:05:58 > 0:06:01takes action on groups with links to the Taliban.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Earlier this week, President Trump accused Pakistan of lying

0:06:03 > 0:06:05and harbouring terrorists, while also receiving billions

0:06:05 > 0:06:10of dollars from the US.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13The publisher of a controversial new book about Donald Trump's White

0:06:13 > 0:06:16House has responded to attempts by the President's lawyers

0:06:16 > 0:06:17to try to block its release.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20The publication of the book, which is a fly-on-the-wall account

0:06:20 > 0:06:23of Trump's first year in power, has been brought forward to today.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26In a Tweet overnight, Donald Trump it was full of lies

0:06:26 > 0:06:28and criticised his former adviser, Steve Bannon.

0:06:28 > 0:06:40Our North America correspondent, Peter Bowes, reports.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Publish and Be Damned.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46The White House dispute its accuracy and deep president has threatened

0:06:46 > 0:06:49to sue for libel they say at the author and the publisher

0:06:49 > 0:06:52should immediately cease and desist from any publication.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Instead, the release date has been brought forward,

0:06:54 > 0:06:59much to the apparent delight of Mr Woolfe.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02"Here you go, you can buy it and read it, thank you,

0:07:02 > 0:07:09Mr President" he tweets.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12The White House says it is false and fraudulent.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14It portrays Mr Trump is being surprised at winning

0:07:14 > 0:07:17the presidency and paints a picture of his administration

0:07:17 > 0:07:18as dysfunctional and divided.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Steve Bannon, who was widely quoted in the extracts already published,

0:07:21 > 0:07:26has not disputed their content.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29His response on a radio programme, to declare his unfailing support

0:07:29 > 0:07:30for the President.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33The President of the United States is a great man.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36You know, I support him day in and day out,

0:07:36 > 0:07:37whether going through the country

0:07:37 > 0:07:41giving the public miracle speech or on the show or on the website.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42And Mr Trump's response to that...

0:07:42 > 0:07:46I don't know, he called me a great man last night.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49So, you know, he obviously changed his tune pretty quick.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Now, with the lawyers poised, there's an entire book to read

0:07:52 > 0:07:55for the next instalment in this extraordinary saga.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Peter Bowes, BBC News.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00North Korea has accepted an offer by South Korea to hold

0:08:00 > 0:08:01talks next week.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04The meeting will be the first between the two countries for more

0:08:04 > 0:08:05than two years.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08It'll take place on Tuesday, in the demilitarised zone that

0:08:08 > 0:08:09divides the peninsula.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Our correspondent, Sophie Long, is in Seoul this morning.

0:08:11 > 0:08:18What is the purpose of this meeting?

0:08:18 > 0:08:24Many people will breathe a sigh of relief at this development.It is

0:08:24 > 0:08:32significant. We had confirmation from the South Korean Unification

0:08:32 > 0:08:38Ministry that North Korea sent a fax on a line closed two years ago and

0:08:38 > 0:08:44on the ninth of January they will meet in the demilitarised zone

0:08:44 > 0:08:48between the two countries. At that meeting we know they will discuss

0:08:48 > 0:08:52the possibility of Pyongyang sending a delegation to the winter Olympics

0:08:52 > 0:08:58due to get under way here in South Korea next month. Now, this comes

0:08:58 > 0:09:03just hours after the United States and South Korea agreed to stop their

0:09:03 > 0:09:08joint military exercises. Now, these take place on a regular. The US and

0:09:08 > 0:09:13South Korea say they are defensive, but North Korea says they are

0:09:13 > 0:09:21excuses for provocations. Now, that happened. We have confirmation the

0:09:21 > 0:09:25talks will take place. So, it is a step in the right direction.Thank

0:09:25 > 0:09:34you very much. So

0:09:34 > 0:09:36step in the right direction.Thank you very much. So, that was Sophie

0:09:36 > 0:09:36Long in Seoul.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39The number of people applying for teacher training has fallen

0:09:39 > 0:09:42by a third compared to this time last year.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Applications to become English, maths, and science teachers showed

0:09:44 > 0:09:47some of the most dramatic levels of decline, leading to school

0:09:47 > 0:09:49leaders warning of an impending crisis in education.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51However, the government said teaching continued to be

0:09:51 > 0:09:54an attractive career and it was investing hundreds

0:09:54 > 0:09:58of millions of pounds to improve recruitment.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Every hot drink served in a takeaway cup should be subject to a 25 pence

0:10:02 > 0:10:04tax, according to a group of MPs.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07The Environmental Audit Committee is calling on the levy in order

0:10:07 > 0:10:09to pay for improvements to the country's recycling facilities.

0:10:09 > 0:10:132.5 billion cups are thrown away each year even though some shops

0:10:13 > 0:10:16offer a discount for people who bring their own.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21Consumers respond better to a charge than they did to a discount. We know

0:10:21 > 0:10:27a load of coffee shops are already offering a 25p discount. It is up to

0:10:27 > 0:10:31them how much of this tax they want to pass on to the consumers, but

0:10:31 > 0:10:34what we are seeing is we are following the principle that the

0:10:34 > 0:10:39polluter pays. We need a radical shift, a revolution, in the coffee

0:10:39 > 0:10:43industry, to deliver a more sustainable way of consuming coffee.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47We are live all morning at one of the only plants in the country

0:10:47 > 0:10:48that can fully recycle coffee cups.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51John Maguire will have more on the problem and possible

0:10:51 > 0:10:54solutions later this hour.

0:10:54 > 0:11:01Look at that. That mountain of coffee cups.

0:11:01 > 0:11:07More than half of all flat faced dog is seen by a vet last year needed

0:11:07 > 0:11:14treatment for issues directly related to how they were bred.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18More than half of flat faced dogs, including French Bulldogs and pugs,

0:11:18 > 0:11:20seen by vets last year required treatment to correct painful

0:11:20 > 0:11:22deformities including surgery to clear obstructed airways skin

0:11:22 > 0:11:24problems and eye ulcers.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26The British Veterniary Association said the majority of flat-faced dog

0:11:26 > 0:11:29owners are still unaware of any problems with the breeds.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33It is that time of year you will be making goals and resolutions. If you

0:11:33 > 0:11:37want to keep a fitness regime up without giving up the alcohol, this

0:11:37 > 0:11:41could be one for you. It is called beer yoga. It is taking off in pubs.

0:11:41 > 0:11:48It involves drinking pints of beer while doing yoga. We have been

0:11:48 > 0:11:55informed they regularly sell out, though it is unknown whether it

0:11:55 > 0:12:08outweighs the negatives of drinking. So, they were doing yoga while

0:12:08 > 0:12:17holding their pints. You could spill it.Beer or goat yoga?I have tried

0:12:17 > 0:12:31goat yoga. I picked that last time and will continue to do so. Though

0:12:31 > 0:12:56I'll have a pint after.They will go down 3-1 in the Ashes if they win

0:12:56 > 0:13:00this rather than 4-0, but it seems to be slipping away, this fish.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Fish? Fifth test. If they do not get any more, the final test could be

0:13:03 > 0:13:09lost in the next few hours. 160- two. The hosts are settling into

0:13:09 > 0:13:17their groove. The Australian captain looked imperious once more. And now

0:13:17 > 0:13:18for the football.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21West Ham spoil Tottenham's 100% record over the festive period.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23It finished 1-1 after a pair of stunning long-range

0:13:23 > 0:13:24goals at Wembley.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26How about that?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Pedro Obiang's effort was matched by Son Heung-min.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32After the match, Son said he thought Obian's goal was better.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35The FA Cup returns tonight, with the first of the third-round

0:13:35 > 0:13:36matches.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Liverpool host Everton at Anfield live on BBC One,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40while Manchester United face Derby County.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43It's the first time in 58 consecutive FA Cup matches that

0:13:43 > 0:13:44United aren't on telivised live.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47And Serena Williams has pulled out of this month's Australian Open.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51She gave birth to her daughter four months ago and played an exibition

0:13:51 > 0:13:53match last week and was hoping to defend her title,

0:13:53 > 0:13:57but she said although she was "super close" to her best, she wasn't quite

0:13:57 > 0:14:01ready for competition.

0:14:01 > 0:14:08That is a very American phrase.She was seen it is going well, but not

0:14:08 > 0:14:15quite good enough.She wants to feel 100%. We look forward to her

0:14:15 > 0:14:20returning whenever that may be.It will not be long.The papers soon,

0:14:20 > 0:14:25but first, the weather. What is it like?

0:14:25 > 0:14:30but first, the weather. What is it like? Good morning. It is not that

0:14:30 > 0:14:34windy this morning. Good news after strong severe gale force winds over

0:14:34 > 0:14:40the past few days. That is the main theme of the forecast today. The

0:14:40 > 0:14:45details. Not only is it not as windy, some of you will stay dry,

0:14:45 > 0:14:51but still some rain in the forecast, mainly in the form of showers. In

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Scotland, cold enough once again for sleet and snow, especially across

0:14:54 > 0:14:59the higher ground. A cloudy day in Scotland. Further south, morning

0:14:59 > 0:15:05brightness, the same in England. Yorkshire, sunshine. Heavy showers

0:15:05 > 0:15:10in north-west England at the moment. East Anglia and the south-east,

0:15:10 > 0:15:13early-morning rain clearing away. Dry and bright conditions for a

0:15:13 > 0:15:18time. Along the south coast, showers. They are already in the

0:15:18 > 0:15:22south-west of England and quite widely across Wales, perhaps on the

0:15:22 > 0:15:26heavy side. A small chance of the odd rumble of thunder with those.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31Generally, thunder free. Northern Ireland, showers. The south and

0:15:31 > 0:15:38east, though, possibly drycool cool start to the country UK wide. A

0:15:38 > 0:15:47touch of frost here and there under clear skies. Some sunny spells.

0:15:47 > 0:15:53Across Scotland, generally rather cloudy. Further patchy rain, sleet,

0:15:53 > 0:15:58and snow. Feeling cooler today across the UK. Temperatures in

0:15:58 > 0:16:05double figures. 4- nine degrees as a high in the afternoon. Even more

0:16:05 > 0:16:09cold tonight and over the weekend. The details. Through the night,

0:16:09 > 0:16:12outbreaks of rain, sleet, and snow, pushing southwards across the

0:16:12 > 0:16:17country. Not much in the way of snow. Nothing concerning. Wind

0:16:17 > 0:16:22picking up to the north and east of the UK. Chilly, the further north

0:16:22 > 0:16:25and west you are. Elsewhere, the breeze will keep the frost that day.

0:16:25 > 0:16:34Cloud on the weekend. Showers around. Merging into longer spells

0:16:34 > 0:16:37of rain across the southern half of the country, especially the far

0:16:37 > 0:16:44south-east. Have the bursts. Sleet and snow mixed in. The north and

0:16:44 > 0:16:49east, dry and bright weather. You will notice the strength of the

0:16:49 > 0:16:55wind. North- north-east. A cold feeling day. Noticeable chill.

0:16:55 > 0:17:01Overnight, Sunday morning, as the wind goes away in the north and

0:17:01 > 0:17:04west, widespread frost. Temperatures as low as -10 in rural rural parts

0:17:04 > 0:17:09of Scotland. Frost was the south and east. A strong wind. Gale force at

0:17:09 > 0:17:14times in the English Channel. Sunday, other than rain, other than

0:17:14 > 0:17:19for the Channel Islands and Shetland, after a frosty start, a

0:17:19 > 0:17:24lovely winter's day. Dry and sunny, if you do not mind the breeze to the

0:17:24 > 0:17:31south and east. More updates later on.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35I am glad it's not too windy out there. Rustling through the papers.

0:17:35 > 0:17:41Having a look at the front pages. You are very neat over there. Look

0:17:41 > 0:17:48at Ben's little stuck there. Who are you blaming? I'm not blaming

0:17:48 > 0:17:53anyone. A page of Times. The gate we talk about -- they're going to be

0:17:53 > 0:17:57talking about this in a moment. These revelations about Donald Trump

0:17:57 > 0:18:03and the much talked about book is being published today, brought

0:18:03 > 0:18:07forward among the rounds of Ingall -- legal issues. Fascinating stuff.

0:18:07 > 0:18:16The story we are covering today. The story of John Worboys, aged 60. He

0:18:16 > 0:18:24was a former taxi driver and he was charged with jug -- drugging and

0:18:24 > 0:18:29sexually assaulting a police 12 women. He became known as the "Black

0:18:29 > 0:18:34cab rapist. He will be released after serving less than ten years

0:18:34 > 0:18:39behind bars. It is believed he attacked more than 100 women during

0:18:39 > 0:18:49his time as a taxi driver. The front page of the Sun there. The front

0:18:49 > 0:18:54page of the Daily Mirror as well. Also, the front page of the Daily

0:18:54 > 0:19:03Mail. Then, you are having a look at car sales.We have an update on what

0:19:03 > 0:19:09they've lost the diesel was the big loser. Down around 70%. We will talk

0:19:09 > 0:19:14to the boss of the industry body in about half an hour but it is a dire

0:19:14 > 0:19:22forecast for sales. A near 5% fall in the UK. It's a whole range of

0:19:22 > 0:19:30things that have been discussed. Worries over the economy. I want to

0:19:30 > 0:19:36highlight this story. I wonder what it feels like to lose £13 million in

0:19:36 > 0:19:41one day. That is what Mike Ashley, the largest shareholder in

0:19:41 > 0:19:46Debenhams, faced yesterday. They said their Christmas trading was

0:19:46 > 0:19:52pretty poor. A big slump in the value of shares. The biggest

0:19:52 > 0:20:01shareholder lost 13 million quid.It is a paper loss. I have a lot on

0:20:01 > 0:20:06Jose Mourinho. Pieces because he lives in a hotel in Manchester, it

0:20:06 > 0:20:13does not mean he is not committed long-term. -- he says. Staying in

0:20:13 > 0:20:17the hotel for all those weeks on end. He says he does it because he

0:20:17 > 0:20:22is lazy and he likes living in a hotel. He says if the fans wanting

0:20:22 > 0:20:33to be comfortable. Sad guys don't work well.And as somebody is making

0:20:33 > 0:20:48your bed view. He never struck me as being a sad person. Not a case, to

0:20:48 > 0:20:56use a cliche, but it is in the air. They want players to have more

0:20:56 > 0:21:01mental and psychological resilience. They have hired an Australian.

0:21:01 > 0:21:08Working with the Australian swimming team. Doctor Pepper Grange. She is

0:21:08 > 0:21:16renowned forgetting into the players heads. Look out for her. Here is how

0:21:16 > 0:21:24it works. Let's hope it does.One of the meetings I enjoy about our team

0:21:24 > 0:21:28is that there is often a box of biscuits in the newsroom. I haven't

0:21:28 > 0:21:34seen them! It took a biscuit to catch your eye.The traditional

0:21:34 > 0:21:42biscuit tin. A certain size and depth is important. In each segment

0:21:42 > 0:21:48there are three or four of your favourite biscuits. This is an

0:21:48 > 0:21:52argument over a Cadbury 's variety box which has only one level. There

0:21:52 > 0:21:58is just one of each biscuit. I'm sure they are not the only people

0:21:58 > 0:22:04who are doing it. Attention has been drawn to the issue.It reminds you

0:22:04 > 0:22:14of smaller chocolate bars. But this is taking away a whole layer.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19Unfortunately, it Naga gets to the box first there is no hope for

0:22:19 > 0:22:29anyone. We'll get an update on the sport and then the weather.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Even by the standards of this Presidency, the noises coming

0:22:32 > 0:22:35from the White House have attracted even more controversy than usual

0:22:35 > 0:22:38with a very public war of words between Donald Trump and his former

0:22:38 > 0:22:39top aide, Steve Bannon.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42It follows allegations in a new book about the first year

0:22:42 > 0:22:43of the Trump administration.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45of the Trump administration.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46White House lawyers had threatened legal action.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50In response, the publishers brought forward the release date to today.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52So what does this all mean for the President?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Scottie Nell-Hughes is an American journalist and Conservative

0:22:54 > 0:23:01commentator who campaigned on behalf of Donald Trump in 2016.

0:23:01 > 0:23:08A very good morning to you, Scottie and thank you for joining us. How do

0:23:08 > 0:23:13we approach this? Can we deal with some of the trivial stuff first, if

0:23:13 > 0:23:18you like, and get to is serious stuff. The book now being published

0:23:18 > 0:23:24today, there are some details about Donald Trump's habits, going to bed

0:23:24 > 0:23:29at 6:30 p.m., a cheeseburger in bed, changing his own sheets because he

0:23:29 > 0:23:34is worried about bugs and germs. Talk to us about some of the little

0:23:34 > 0:23:41stuff that has emerged.The White House this morning is more twisted

0:23:41 > 0:23:47than C would be at yoga. Bookstores or even staying open to get this

0:23:47 > 0:23:52book to people and the trivial parts, the gossip, the Middle school

0:23:52 > 0:23:56aspect is probably what has been dominating headlines for the last 48

0:23:56 > 0:24:01hours as are some of the things that you've mentioned. Is it true or not?

0:24:01 > 0:24:08How are they going to back it up? Did you see President Trump with the

0:24:08 > 0:24:12cheeseburger? Those other tabloid issues that Sarah Sanders was

0:24:12 > 0:24:20referring to. Can you prove it? But it makes it a good read. What is

0:24:20 > 0:24:25more concerning is what you will go to next, the issues of the people

0:24:25 > 0:24:33surrounding the president and his actions and reactions.So let's talk

0:24:33 > 0:24:40about these quotes that we have., for example. 100% of his advisers

0:24:40 > 0:24:46think he is incapable of functioning in his job.First of all, I don't

0:24:46 > 0:24:51discount this book. Michael Wolff has no region to publish a

0:24:51 > 0:24:58completely scandalous, for joint and slanderous look. He was not one of

0:24:58 > 0:25:07those" never Trump" journalists. He criticised the media in 2016. He had

0:25:07 > 0:25:11no reason to come up with this hit piece but to make a claim like that

0:25:11 > 0:25:16is false. That doesn't mean there are a lot of advisers who are

0:25:16 > 0:25:21snakes. Thinking they were going to help them. They were putting their

0:25:21 > 0:25:27own priorities overhears. That is what President Trump needs to

0:25:27 > 0:25:32recognise. What is true and what is not and what will his reaction be?

0:25:32 > 0:25:52What we have found in the past with Donald is that nothing sticks. Is

0:25:52 > 0:25:58there anything that is really important? I think it's very

0:25:58 > 0:26:02concerning. What this does is it shows the Republican Party is very

0:26:02 > 0:26:09divided. Steve Bannon represented the Scottie -- the Steve Bannon

0:26:09 > 0:26:14conservatives. Then there are those who followed Donald Trump. The GOP

0:26:14 > 0:26:20is as divided as ever. Tomorrow, many states start pulling papers for

0:26:20 > 0:26:23people running to the House of Representatives. It will be

0:26:23 > 0:26:27interesting to see if we have the engagement in 2018 and this book

0:26:27 > 0:26:35does a real damage to the Republican Party. People will just tune out.

0:26:35 > 0:26:40Donald Trump is not there to drain the swamp, they will say, he brought

0:26:40 > 0:26:44the swamp with him.He tried unsuccessfully to stop this being

0:26:44 > 0:26:49published. There are allegations about his own family, treachery and

0:26:49 > 0:26:54treason. Will he be required to take some form of legal action because of

0:26:54 > 0:27:01the stance he has taken?That is the best thing the publisher could want,

0:27:01 > 0:27:04the president telling him not to publish the book. It catapulted the

0:27:04 > 0:27:11book even higher. Steve Bannon knows the number one rule in Trump world

0:27:11 > 0:27:24is not to go up to his family. He would have ignored this entire book

0:27:24 > 0:27:31if he didn't go out the way he did. Once this is out, it is out. The

0:27:31 > 0:27:38more attention Donald Trump gives this book, it is kerosene on fire.

0:27:38 > 0:27:45Focusing on a bigger issue that we need to be focusing on.Thank you,

0:27:45 > 0:27:50Scottie commerce -- talking to us from the United States.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53Still to come...

0:27:53 > 0:27:56As MPs call for a crack down on disposable coffee cups,

0:27:56 > 0:27:59John is at one of the UK's only plants currently able

0:27:59 > 0:28:02to recycle them.

0:28:02 > 0:28:10They are not easy to recycle.That's absolutely right. The amount of

0:28:10 > 0:28:20coffee to drink. This is half the time of coffee cups. This is what

0:28:20 > 0:28:26gets the Knights team back in the office. That is the issue. A copy

0:28:26 > 0:28:36cup is bonded plastic. Making it waterproof and cardboard as well. It

0:28:36 > 0:28:42is separating those two materials that is very difficult. Once it is

0:28:42 > 0:28:46mashed up and the plastic and cardboard is separated, they can

0:28:46 > 0:28:51turn it into pulp. The pulp then goes into a giant machine that

0:28:51 > 0:28:54produces paper and look at the amount of paper that can be

0:28:54 > 0:29:05produced. Only 1% of these cups are properly dealt with. We'll all pay

0:29:05 > 0:32:2625p to make this happen.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29I am back later.

0:32:34 > 0:32:35Hello.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37This is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

0:32:41 > 0:32:43but also on Breakfast this morning.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45?

0:32:47 > 0:32:50As scientists warn reefs are under siege from global warming,

0:32:50 > 0:32:53we'll find out why coral bleaching is bad news for biodiversity.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56You might still have your christmas decorations up, but according

0:32:56 > 0:33:04to the travel industry it's time to think about summer.

0:33:04 > 0:33:12We'll find out how to get a bargain before 8am.You never really know

0:33:12 > 0:33:17what you are made of until something extreme happens to you.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19And it's the most elite unit in the Armed Forces,

0:33:19 > 0:33:22but what does it take to be an SAS soldier?

0:33:22 > 0:33:26After 9am, we'll meet one civilian recruit hoping to prove that.

0:33:26 > 0:33:27Good morning.

0:33:27 > 0:33:32Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

0:33:32 > 0:33:37Yvette Cooper has called on the parole board to explain its decision

0:33:37 > 0:33:43to release the serial sex offender, John Worboys. He was jailed in 2009

0:33:43 > 0:33:48for offences against 12 female passengers. Police believe he

0:33:48 > 0:33:53carried out more than 100 rapes and sexual assaults. Yvette Cooper said

0:33:53 > 0:33:57she was shocked by the move and victims groups have expressed shock

0:33:57 > 0:34:06and outrage.

0:34:06 > 0:34:12Car sales have fallen. It has been blamed on the financial insecurity

0:34:12 > 0:34:18around Brexit. The decline is expected to continue. A

0:34:18 > 0:34:22controversial book which is a fly on the wall account of Donald Trump's

0:34:22 > 0:34:25first year in the White House is being published today. The release

0:34:25 > 0:34:33date has been brought forward. Donald Trump said it was full of

0:34:33 > 0:34:39lies and criticised his former adviser, Steve Bannon.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42North Korea has accepted an offer by South Korea to hold

0:34:42 > 0:34:43talks next week.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47The meeting will be the first between the two countries for more

0:34:47 > 0:34:47than two years.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50It'll take place on Tuesday, in the demilitarised zone that

0:34:50 > 0:35:02divides the peninsula.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Every hot drink served in a disposable cup should be

0:35:05 > 0:35:08subject to a 25 pence tax, according to a group of MPs.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11The Environmental Audit Committee is calling on the levy to be

0:35:11 > 0:35:15introduced to pay for improvements in the recycling of paper cups that

0:35:15 > 0:35:16have a plastic lining.

0:35:16 > 0:35:192.5 billion are thrown away each year, but the British Coffee

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Association says a charge is not the answer.

0:35:21 > 0:35:31Consumers respond better to a charge than they do to a discount. We know

0:35:31 > 0:35:34a lot of coffee shops are already offering a 25p discount.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36It is up to them how much of this tax

0:35:36 > 0:35:37they want

0:35:37 > 0:35:40to pass on to the consumers, but what we are seeing

0:35:40 > 0:35:43is we are following the principle that the polluter pays.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46We need a radical shift, a revolution, in the coffee

0:35:46 > 0:35:53industry, to deliver a more sustainable way of consuming coffee.

0:35:53 > 0:36:01And now for the sport. Explain where we are in the Ashes. What is at

0:36:01 > 0:36:06stake? A critical hour coming up. England are 3-0 down so far in the

0:36:06 > 0:36:14Ashes, but they want to restore pride by finishing 3-1 not 4-0.

0:36:14 > 0:36:19Australia are trying to push home a fourth victory. But the last few

0:36:19 > 0:36:23hours has been getting away from England. Unless they can produce

0:36:23 > 0:36:27magic and get rid of Steve Smith, the captain of the Australian team,

0:36:27 > 0:36:31this is over. It is getting away from them. There are critical

0:36:31 > 0:36:36moments in test matches where your chances almost gone, even if

0:36:36 > 0:36:40mathematically you could come back. It is looking at the moment like it

0:36:40 > 0:36:45is slipping away from England. The story so far. England added 133 runs

0:36:45 > 0:36:49to the overnight score. They were helped by this extraordinary dropped

0:36:49 > 0:36:55catch. Right through his fingers, Josh Hazlewood. They were out for

0:36:55 > 0:37:03346. England made a few breakthroughs. Australia replied.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Mason Craine got his first test of England bowling and very nearly

0:37:06 > 0:37:12removed Steve Smith, the legendary captain. They have rallied to 184-

0:37:12 > 0:37:19two. Ominously, Steve Smith is still at the crease and looking good.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22West Ham have ended Tottenham's 100% record over the festive period.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25It finished 1-1 at Wembley, after a pair of stunning strikes,

0:37:25 > 0:37:28Pedro Obiang put West Ham ahead, and seven minutes from time,

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Son Heung-Min put away an equally impressive long-range effort,

0:37:30 > 0:37:33although Son said he thought Obiang's goal was better.

0:37:33 > 0:37:43Spurs are fifth in the Premier League table.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46The Premier League teams enter the FA Cup third round this weekend

0:37:46 > 0:37:49and the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton kick's

0:37:49 > 0:37:50off the BBC's coverage.

0:37:50 > 0:37:51It's live on BBC One tonight.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54It's been suggested that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp doesn't take

0:37:54 > 0:37:59the FA Cup seriously, something he's keen to disprove.

0:37:59 > 0:38:05The lineup will be a lineup which shows all the respect we have for

0:38:05 > 0:38:14the FA Cup. Umm... I know a few people have said that I don't

0:38:14 > 0:38:17respect the competition, stuff like that, enough. But that is obviously

0:38:17 > 0:38:25not the truth. So, maybe we have to make it a little bit more obvious.

0:38:25 > 0:38:31It is not a league game. There are no points available. It is win or

0:38:31 > 0:38:35bust. As simple as that. The Premier League, less pressure. It is a glory

0:38:35 > 0:38:41game. You go out and seek the glory and try and win it. If we are to get

0:38:41 > 0:38:44through, we have to beat Liverpool.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Manchester City Women's latest signing Nadia Nadim says she wants

0:38:47 > 0:38:50to "be a part of history" after arriving at the WSL club.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53She was Born in Afghanistan but her mother paid traffickers

0:38:53 > 0:38:56to take her and her family to England after the taliban

0:38:56 > 0:38:57murdererd her father.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01The family ended up in Denmark, where she found her love of football

0:39:01 > 0:39:02in a refugee centre.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Nadim has finally made it to England and says she wants to help

0:39:05 > 0:39:08the club keep growing.

0:39:08 > 0:39:17The club is so young. They have achieved so much. So, just being a

0:39:17 > 0:39:22part of that journey, umm, and trying to reach even higher levels,

0:39:22 > 0:39:27it's amazing.

0:39:27 > 0:39:32That is really where your love and passion comes from in the game, down

0:39:32 > 0:39:35here. How it has transformed a life. You are playing for the love of

0:39:35 > 0:39:47sport.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50And Serena Williams has pulled out of this month's Australian Open.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54She gave birth to her daughter four months ago and played an exibition

0:39:54 > 0:39:56match last week and was hoping to defend her title,

0:39:56 > 0:40:00but she said although she was "super close" to her best, she wasn't quite

0:40:00 > 0:40:01ready for competition.

0:40:01 > 0:40:05A lot of talk about Andy Murray in the last 24 hours about whether he

0:40:05 > 0:40:09can make a comeback.Hip injury? Yeah. Tiger Woods, a hip injury, he

0:40:09 > 0:40:13knows what it is like to come back. And that was ten months. Tiger Woods

0:40:13 > 0:40:17says he wants to get back to a full schedule, back-to-back tournaments,

0:40:17 > 0:40:30all that. He will start that at Torrey Pines. That is not to be

0:40:30 > 0:40:51confused with farmer's golf. It was invented by a cheese farmer who put

0:40:51 > 0:40:55clogs on the end of golf clubs because he was fed up with paying

0:40:55 > 0:41:02fees.You learn something new every day.Have you had your coffee this

0:41:02 > 0:41:12morning?I have. Cane recycle that? I think you can. -- can you.Inside,

0:41:12 > 0:41:16because it is lined with plastic, it makes it really difficult to

0:41:16 > 0:41:22recycle. That is the big issue.I heard about hot liquids reacting

0:41:22 > 0:41:29with plastic as well. We should talk to John Maguire.Ahh, yes.He is

0:41:29 > 0:41:37somewhere where they are trying to improve the situation. Explain more.

0:41:37 > 0:41:42This is a paper mill which has been here since the middle of the 19th

0:41:42 > 0:41:45century. Coffee cups are ready modern problem. Plastic in the

0:41:45 > 0:41:48middle to make it waterproof. Cardboard on the outside to make it

0:41:48 > 0:41:53rigid. Separating them is difficult. You can recognise some of the logos

0:41:53 > 0:42:01on these bales. They are squished and weighed about half a ton. They

0:42:01 > 0:42:04go through the role is to make this wonderfully vivid paper. This will

0:42:04 > 0:42:11now go on to the packaging and also emblems as well. But this is one of

0:42:11 > 0:42:18the only two sites in the UK that does this process. A committee of

0:42:18 > 0:42:25MPs says it wants to see a 25 p levy on a single youth cup of coffee to

0:42:25 > 0:42:33get money back into the system to pay for stuff like this. We will get

0:42:33 > 0:42:47do you know. Why only you and one other company?We did this a few

0:42:47 > 0:42:52years ago and we realised half a million coffee cups went through us.

0:42:52 > 0:43:01You have plastic and insight which is to make it waterproof. -- inside.

0:43:01 > 0:43:06It keeps the heat in as well. The plastic and inside is quite

0:43:06 > 0:43:11difficult to remove.And expensive? Well, we developed this over the

0:43:11 > 0:43:16past few years. We are essentially floating off the plastic. What we

0:43:16 > 0:43:22are able to do is completely separate the plastic from the paper.

0:43:22 > 0:43:30The majority is made from pulp?Yes. We can use all of that, a

0:43:30 > 0:43:34high-quality material, in papermaking.Here are some things

0:43:34 > 0:43:43you can do. Packaging boxes, a shopping bag, even with the

0:43:43 > 0:43:51Cupcycling logo on it.Yes. They have used our process. In every bag,

0:43:51 > 0:43:56one coffee cup goes goes into it. This is interesting. It is the

0:43:56 > 0:44:01plastic.This is actually a replacement for single-use plastic.

0:44:01 > 0:44:07You can put a cellphone inside it. It is completely able to be

0:44:07 > 0:44:13recycled.And you are from the environmental charity behind a lot

0:44:13 > 0:44:18of the campaigning going on. You had those giant coffee cups we saw in

0:44:18 > 0:44:22Manchester and in London that people could make sure coffee cups were

0:44:22 > 0:44:28able to be disposed of. What is the issue? We know about try to separate

0:44:28 > 0:44:35it, but what is going wrong on a wide scale?The cups need to be

0:44:35 > 0:44:39separated out when they are recycled in the first place. If they go to

0:44:39 > 0:44:43mixed recycling with everything else, they will not be recycled.

0:44:43 > 0:44:49That is what we did with the campaigns in Manchester and London.

0:44:49 > 0:44:55In London, we launched in April at the end of 2017 as well, we recycled

0:44:55 > 0:45:024 million cups in just one square mile.It can be done?Yes. It proves

0:45:02 > 0:45:07if it is communicated well and facilities are provided, the public

0:45:07 > 0:45:11is willing to recycle them, but we have to give them the facilities.No

0:45:11 > 0:45:22one will vote for a 25p addition to their morning coffee.We will do a

0:45:22 > 0:45:28number of trials in some Starbucks in London and will test adding a

0:45:28 > 0:45:34levy and see how customers respond. We have done a study to understand

0:45:34 > 0:45:47it.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49recycling, it comes down to industry and

0:45:49 > 0:45:59recycling, it comes down to industry and government changed.

0:46:07 > 0:46:13All terms and conditions on the Facebook page. Small from us. If

0:46:13 > 0:46:16you're watching the train or whatever, drinking a cup of coffee,

0:46:16 > 0:46:30have a think about what you are going to do with it. Back to you.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33There's growing criticism over a decision by the Parole Board

0:46:33 > 0:46:36to release serial sex attacker, John Worboys, from prison.

0:46:36 > 0:46:49UK car sales have dropped to the first time in six years.

0:46:49 > 0:46:53Let us take a look at the weather both here in the United

0:46:53 > 0:46:54Let us take a look at the weather both here in the United States. Some

0:46:54 > 0:46:59pretty extreme conditions in the United States. I couldn't have said

0:46:59 > 0:47:04is any better. Extreme is the word to mention across much of eastern

0:47:04 > 0:47:09portions of the US. They are under the grips of some bitterly cold

0:47:09 > 0:47:18winter conditions. We saw the first measurable snowfall for some in

0:47:18 > 0:47:25almost 30 years. Temperature records have been raking quite widely. If

0:47:25 > 0:47:29you look at the chart there, we have the cold Arctic air down across many

0:47:29 > 0:47:40parts of the east. That sort of temperature differential, you get a

0:47:40 > 0:47:46very strong winds that has been blowing up. That low pressure to

0:47:46 > 0:48:39pick deep. Ours. That's how it got its name rain showers. Some of you

0:48:39 > 0:49:06will get to drive some of you will stay dry. Particularly southern and

0:49:06 > 0:49:11eastern parts. Showers will come and go. In Scotland, sticking with cloud

0:49:11 > 0:49:16and outbreaks of rain and hill snow. Temperatures lower than they have

0:49:16 > 0:49:24been through recent days. The exception will be the Channel

0:49:24 > 0:49:28Islands. We stick with lots of cloud and further outbreaks of rain and

0:49:28 > 0:49:33hill snow. Clearing skies developing to the West of Scotland. For most,

0:49:33 > 0:49:40with a cloud in place tonight, you should state frost free the vast

0:49:40 > 0:49:44majority but increasingly windy into the start of Saturday, particularly

0:49:44 > 0:49:51within eastern areas of the country. Showers could merge into longer

0:49:51 > 0:49:58spells of rain. Some sunny conditions but bitterly cold winds

0:49:58 > 0:50:06blowing. Making it feel subzero for many. As began to Saturday night,

0:50:06 > 0:50:12the temperatures appear. There will be a widespread frost developing

0:50:12 > 0:50:25into the north and west. Temperatures as the many, the winds

0:50:25 > 0:50:31will be a little bit light on Sunday. High pressure in charge, and

0:50:31 > 0:50:34you will have a dry and sunny day the most part.

0:50:34 > 0:50:39you will have a dry and sunny day the most part. Dry and sunny, we

0:50:39 > 0:50:43will be very grateful for.

0:50:43 > 0:50:47Last year, new car sales in the UK fell for the first time since 2011.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49Forecasts suggest they will continue to stuggle over

0:50:49 > 0:50:50the coming months too.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53So, Ben, what's causing this bump in the road?

0:50:53 > 0:50:56They are a really good indicator about how the economy is faring. If

0:50:56 > 0:51:01the economy is OK you will splash out.These are the latest figures

0:51:01 > 0:51:08from the industry body. They show car sales fell by 5.6% last year.

0:51:08 > 0:51:15This put that on the graph. You can see why it significant. Sailors have

0:51:15 > 0:51:20been going a pretty consistently. You can see the end, still on the

0:51:20 > 0:51:31slide. Mike Hawse is with me. If we look at that, you can see pretty

0:51:31 > 0:51:37consistent robust growth. This thing that strikes me first of all, we

0:51:37 > 0:51:43still sold 2.5 million cars.That is the third best in the past decade

0:51:43 > 0:51:51and the sixth best ever.Talk me through wide. Why have we seen such

0:51:51 > 0:51:56record growth. Ten years ago, we had written off the car industry but we

0:51:56 > 0:52:03are still buying them.It was wrong to write them off. Over the last few

0:52:03 > 0:52:07years has been increasing economic growth. The way people buy cars has

0:52:07 > 0:52:15changed. But those issues together and then you do -- the new

0:52:15 > 0:52:18technology on the car means a new car is cleaner and cheaper to what

0:52:18 > 0:52:28-- cheaper to run.Let's talk about this falloff. A bit of a perfect

0:52:28 > 0:52:36storm. So many different factors that affected it. Less cash in our

0:52:36 > 0:52:45pocket. A 17% fall in diesel sales. So many headlines about it.One of

0:52:45 > 0:52:52the drivers, a clear decline in consumer business. All the figures

0:52:52 > 0:52:58say people are less enthusiastic. It is the second biggest item after

0:52:58 > 0:53:04your house. Secondly, a lot of confusion about diesel. This has

0:53:04 > 0:53:13caused people not so much to switch into petrol. And we are seeing that.

0:53:13 > 0:53:16But diesel owners often sitting on their hands, waiting to see what

0:53:16 > 0:53:21will happen. And the problem with that is, they are keeping older cars

0:53:21 > 0:53:26on the road the longer which is less good the environment. People are

0:53:26 > 0:53:31going to be spending more money on average. If you buy a diesel car,

0:53:31 > 0:53:45you'll probably saved £300, £400 per year.The majority was what we sell

0:53:45 > 0:53:56overseas.The weak pound makes exports cheaper. The majority of the

0:53:56 > 0:54:03parts that go into our cars also come from abroad. A lower pound

0:54:03 > 0:54:13isn't necessarily could do such a complex transaction.A word on those

0:54:13 > 0:54:23fork declining growth. That spills over into business and consumer

0:54:23 > 0:54:55confidence. Next year, -- the important thing is to choose the

0:54:55 > 0:55:02right sort of car per ewe. Most people, accommodation of both.

0:55:02 > 0:55:18Better fuel economy. Increasingly in terms of connectivity. As soon as

0:55:18 > 0:55:23you get these cars on the road, it makes the environment better safer.

0:55:23 > 0:55:38It will be an interesting time. Very good to see you.

0:55:38 > 0:55:42Still to come this morning. But is it true?You should have pulled the

0:55:42 > 0:55:48surveillance when you are asked true.Is it true?How would you

0:55:48 > 0:55:53react to finding out the world was going to end in five years? That is

0:55:53 > 0:55:57the premise of a new thriller from the creator of the award-winning

0:55:57 > 0:59:19crime series Luther.

0:59:47 > 0:59:48Hello.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50This is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

0:59:50 > 0:59:50Munchetty.

0:59:50 > 0:59:54The release of a serial sex attacker after less than ten years in prison.

0:59:54 > 0:59:56Demands for the Parole Board to explain its decision.

0:59:56 > 0:59:59Black Cab driver, John Worboys, was jailed for offences against 12

0:59:59 > 1:00:02women, but police believe he carried out more than 100 rapes

1:00:02 > 1:00:13and sexual assaults.

1:00:24 > 1:00:25Good morning.

1:00:25 > 1:00:27It's Friday the 5th of January.

1:00:27 > 1:00:27Also this morning:

1:00:27 > 1:00:29A slump in new car sales.

1:00:29 > 1:00:32Latest figures are expected to show they've dropped to their lowest

1:00:32 > 1:00:33level for six years.

1:00:33 > 1:00:34Coffee with a conscience.

1:00:34 > 1:00:38A committee of MPs wants consumers to pay 25 pence for using takeaway

1:00:38 > 1:00:41cups to help fund better recycling facilities.

1:00:41 > 1:00:44Last year was a tough one for the holiday industry,

1:00:44 > 1:00:46with airline strikes, terror attacks and some

1:00:46 > 1:00:47pretty wild weather.

1:00:47 > 1:00:50I'll ask the boss of one big travel firm how they're riding out

1:00:50 > 1:00:56the storm.

1:00:56 > 1:00:59Hopes of restoring pride for England in the ashes have been smashed

1:00:59 > 1:01:14around. Australia showed no mercy on the third day. And frigid weather in

1:01:14 > 1:01:14around. Australia showed no mercy on the third day. And frigid weather in

1:01:14 > 1:01:23the US. And the UK? Not as cold in the UK. For today, the good news is

1:01:23 > 1:01:29it is not as windy as it has been. Snow in the Scottish hills. The full

1:01:29 > 1:01:30forecast forecast coming up.

1:01:34 > 1:01:34Good morning.

1:01:34 > 1:01:35First, our main story.

1:01:35 > 1:01:38The decision to release the serial sex offender,

1:01:38 > 1:01:40John Worboys, after less than 10 years in prison,

1:01:40 > 1:01:41has brought widespread condemnation.

1:01:41 > 1:01:44The Chair of the "Home Affairs Select Committee," Yvette Cooper,

1:01:44 > 1:01:47said she was "really shocked" that the former black cab driver

1:01:47 > 1:01:48was being freed.

1:01:48 > 1:01:51He was jailed in 2009 for offences against 12 female passengers,

1:01:51 > 1:01:54but police believe he actually carried out more than 100 rapes

1:01:54 > 1:01:54and sexual assaults.

1:01:54 > 1:01:58Our home affairs correspondent, Daniel Sandford, has more.

1:01:58 > 1:02:01For six years, John Worboys cruised smart areas of London in his black

1:02:01 > 1:02:04cab looking for women to drug and rape.

1:02:04 > 1:02:07When he was finally caught, the judge said he'd serve a minimum

1:02:07 > 1:02:10of eight years in prison and said he wouldn't be released

1:02:10 > 1:02:21until he was no longer a threat to women.

1:02:21 > 1:02:24Worboys would show young women he picked up in his cab large wads

1:02:24 > 1:02:27of cash, saying he'd recently won big at the casino.

1:02:27 > 1:02:30Then he'd offer them champagne, which he'd spiked with sedatives,

1:02:30 > 1:02:30and rape them.

1:02:30 > 1:02:33The judge gave him what's known as an indeterminate sentence,

1:02:33 > 1:02:36under which, people are only freed once they're no

1:02:36 > 1:02:36longer considered dangerous.

1:02:36 > 1:02:40But today, the BBC discovered that the Parole Board has decided

1:02:40 > 1:02:42Worboys will be released this month under supervision after spending

1:02:42 > 1:02:44less than ten years in prison.

1:02:44 > 1:02:47I've spoken to one of my clients, who is absolutely horrified

1:02:47 > 1:02:50and really distressed that nobody had the courtesy to inform her,

1:02:50 > 1:02:54so she's in the middle of cooking tea for her kids and she hears this

1:02:54 > 1:03:02on the radio, and feels absolutely sick to her stomach.

1:03:02 > 1:03:05The organisation, Rape Crisis, said it was far too soon for Worboys

1:03:05 > 1:03:06to be released.

1:03:06 > 1:03:08Although police believed John Worboys attacked over 100

1:03:08 > 1:03:10women, he was only convicted of attacking 12.

1:03:10 > 1:03:13And only one of those convictions was for rape.

1:03:13 > 1:03:15And that's why his sentence was so short.

1:03:15 > 1:03:17All the same, under the indeterminate sentence rules,

1:03:17 > 1:03:20the Parole Board will need to have assured themselves that John Worboys

1:03:20 > 1:03:30was no longer a risk as a sexual predator.

1:03:30 > 1:03:35Daniel Sandford, BBC News.

1:03:35 > 1:03:39Last year, new car sales in the UK fell for the first time since 2011.

1:03:39 > 1:03:42Forecasts suggest they will continue to stuggle over

1:03:42 > 1:03:43the coming months too.

1:03:43 > 1:03:46So, Ben, what's causing this bump in the road?

1:03:46 > 1:03:55Good morning. It is a reflection on how we feel in terms of the economy.

1:03:55 > 1:04:04Yes. You will only splash out on a car if you think you have money. It

1:04:04 > 1:04:08is interesting. When you look at the numbers which give us an indication

1:04:08 > 1:04:12of what happened, let's look at the numbers. Last year, 5.6% of a fall

1:04:12 > 1:04:18in UK car sales. Looking at just diesels, that is even worse. They

1:04:18 > 1:04:24were down more than 17%. If you look at the forecast for next year and

1:04:24 > 1:04:29beyond that, it is a similar picture. Why is that? Why have sales

1:04:29 > 1:04:37fall in? A perfect storm. So many factors. The headlines about

1:04:37 > 1:04:43diesels, clamping down on emissions. They are the bad boy of the industry

1:04:43 > 1:04:49now.We talked to the boss of the industry body. They said it could be

1:04:49 > 1:04:54temporary. If we start to look at the savings you make on the fuel, it

1:04:54 > 1:04:57could cancel it out. But we have seen bad headlines. Inflation is

1:04:57 > 1:05:06squeezing income. Less money in our pockets because prices are going up.

1:05:06 > 1:05:11The state of the economy and Brexit. And changes in car tax. It is more

1:05:11 > 1:05:17expensive to own a car to be all of those things together mean it is

1:05:17 > 1:05:20getting tougher to have a car to pick and personal contract payments

1:05:20 > 1:05:27as well. That is a way of renting a car for a couple of years and at the

1:05:27 > 1:05:31end of that period you have the option to buy or give it back and

1:05:31 > 1:05:36new one. That has meant a huge flood of second-hand cars have ended up on

1:05:36 > 1:05:40the market. You could look at the market and save why get a new one if

1:05:40 > 1:05:45I could have a cheap second hand one. That is why new ones have gone

1:05:45 > 1:05:53down.Why would you get a new one? Thank you.

1:05:53 > 1:05:55A controversial book, which is a fly-on-the-wall account

1:05:55 > 1:05:58of Trump's first year in power, is being published today.

1:05:58 > 1:06:01The publisher opted for an earlier release date in response to attempts

1:06:01 > 1:06:03by the President's lawyers to block it.

1:06:03 > 1:06:05In a Tweet overnight, Donald Trump said it was full

1:06:05 > 1:06:08of lies and criticised his former adviser, Steve Bannon.

1:06:08 > 1:06:11Our North America correspondent, Peter Bowes, reports.

1:06:11 > 1:06:15Publish and be damned.

1:06:15 > 1:06:21The book that won't go away.

1:06:21 > 1:06:25The White House dispute its accuracy and the President's lawyers have

1:06:25 > 1:06:27threatened to sue for libel.

1:06:27 > 1:06:29They say the author and the publisher

1:06:29 > 1:06:31should immediately cease and desist from any further publication.

1:06:31 > 1:06:33Instead, the release date has been brought forward,

1:06:33 > 1:06:35much to the apparent delight of Mr Wolff.

1:06:35 > 1:06:39"Here you go, you can buy it and read it, thank you,

1:06:39 > 1:06:40Mr President," he tweets.

1:06:40 > 1:06:49The White House says it is false and fraudulent.

1:06:49 > 1:06:51It portrays Mr Trump as being surprised at winning

1:06:51 > 1:06:53the presidency and paints a picture of his administration

1:06:53 > 1:06:55as dysfunctional and divided.

1:06:55 > 1:06:57Steve Bannon, who's widely quoted in the extracts already published,

1:06:57 > 1:06:59has not disputed their content.

1:06:59 > 1:07:02His response on a radio programme, to declare his unfailing support

1:07:02 > 1:07:03for the President.

1:07:03 > 1:07:06The President of the United States is a great man.

1:07:06 > 1:07:08You know, I support him day in and day out,

1:07:08 > 1:07:11whether going through the country giving the public miracle speech

1:07:11 > 1:07:13or on the show or on the website.

1:07:13 > 1:07:15And Mr Trump's response to that...

1:07:15 > 1:07:18I don't know, he called me a great man last night.

1:07:18 > 1:07:21So, you know, he obviously changed his tune pretty quick.

1:07:21 > 1:07:24Now, with the lawyers poised, there's an entire book to read

1:07:24 > 1:07:26for the next instalment in this extraordinary saga.

1:07:26 > 1:07:30Peter Bowes, BBC News.

1:07:30 > 1:07:33North Korea has accepted an offer by South Korea to hold

1:07:33 > 1:07:34talks next week.

1:07:34 > 1:07:38The meeting will be the first between the two countries for more

1:07:38 > 1:07:38than two years.

1:07:38 > 1:07:41It'll take place on Tuesday, in the demilitarised zone that

1:07:41 > 1:07:45divides the peninsula.

1:07:45 > 1:07:51Our correspondent, Sophie Long, is in Seoul this morning.

1:07:51 > 1:07:55Just tell us more about the buildup and what this meeting will consist

1:07:55 > 1:08:02of.Good morning. This comes after the North Korean leader made a New

1:08:02 > 1:08:06Year's address in which he said he would be open to dialogue with South

1:08:06 > 1:08:11Korea. After that, the South Korean government offered high-level talks

1:08:11 > 1:08:16with North Korea. The day after that we had a telephone line which was

1:08:16 > 1:08:27Dortmund more than two years was reopened by North Korea. -- dormant.

1:08:27 > 1:08:32This morning, by fax, we heard NK accepted. They will meet on the

1:08:32 > 1:08:39border of the DMC. It will take place on Tuesday the ninth of

1:08:39 > 1:08:43January, a month before the Opening Ceremony of the winter Olympics here

1:08:50 > 1:08:54Korea sending a delegation to the winter Olympics. That is important.

1:08:54 > 1:09:00We have had consistently from Kim Jong-un that this could be a

1:09:00 > 1:09:04groundbreaking chance to change the direction. Tensions were increasing

1:09:04 > 1:09:10through 2017. It seems the two sides will sit down and talk about the

1:09:10 > 1:09:17possibility and also about other things that could ease tensions here

1:09:17 > 1:09:21between the two Koreas.Sophie, for the moment, thank you.

1:09:21 > 1:09:25Every hot drink served in a takeaway cup should be subject to a 25 pence

1:09:25 > 1:09:27tax, according to a group of MPs.

1:09:27 > 1:09:30The Environmental Audit Committee is calling on the levy in order

1:09:30 > 1:09:33to pay for improvements to the country's recycling facilities.

1:09:33 > 1:09:362.5 billion cups are thrown away each year even though some shops

1:09:36 > 1:09:39offer a discount for people who bring their own.

1:09:39 > 1:09:42Consumers respond better to a charge than they do to a discount.

1:09:42 > 1:09:46We know a lot of coffee shops are already offering a 25p discount.

1:09:46 > 1:09:50It is up to them how much of this tax they want to pass

1:09:50 > 1:09:52on to the consumers, but what we are seeing

1:09:52 > 1:09:55is we are following the principle that the polluter pays.

1:09:55 > 1:09:57We need a radical shift, a revolution, in the coffee

1:09:57 > 1:10:07industry, to deliver a more sustainable way of consuming coffee.

1:10:07 > 1:10:10The number of people applying for teacher training has fallen

1:10:10 > 1:10:13by a third compared to this time last year.

1:10:13 > 1:10:15Applications to become English, maths, and science teachers showed

1:10:15 > 1:10:18some of the most dramatic levels of decline, leading to school

1:10:18 > 1:10:20leaders warning of an impending crisis in education.

1:10:20 > 1:10:22However, the government said teaching continued to be

1:10:22 > 1:10:25an attractive career and it was investing hundreds

1:10:25 > 1:10:34of millions of pounds to improve recruitment.

1:10:34 > 1:10:36A severe winter storm is hitting the eastern United States,

1:10:36 > 1:10:38bringing strong winds and blizzards.

1:10:38 > 1:10:40It's the tenth day of record-breaking low temperatures,

1:10:40 > 1:10:42which have already claimed several lives.

1:10:42 > 1:10:4517 people are believed to have died as a result of the cold weather.

1:10:45 > 1:10:47Nearly 5,000 flights have been cancelled.

1:10:47 > 1:10:51The National Guard has been deployed in parts of New York state to assist

1:10:51 > 1:10:52with rescue efforts and transporting supplies.

1:10:52 > 1:10:56The snow has finally tapered off after 12 hours of pounding snow. The

1:10:56 > 1:11:06wind has not let up. We saw 40-15 mar per hour winds. -- 40-50 miles

1:11:06 > 1:11:12per hour. We even saw rescues. What was remarkable to watch today was

1:11:12 > 1:11:16how quickly all of this happened and how quickly the snow came down. It

1:11:16 > 1:11:22was incredible to watch at times. We were seen three inches of snow an

1:11:22 > 1:11:29hour. This is what has been left behind in its path, a serious pilot

1:11:29 > 1:11:35of snow. On top of that, this is not over. We have this Arctic blast

1:11:35 > 1:11:42coming in. We could be in the single digits with windshields well below

1:11:42 > 1:11:49zero. -- windchills.

1:11:49 > 1:11:55Not surprisingly, people have been feeling the cold. And cold-blooded

1:11:55 > 1:12:01creatures in Florida have had issues as well. Videos have shown frozen

1:12:01 > 1:12:08iguanas. That is correct. Some have fallen from trees. The number of

1:12:08 > 1:12:14reptiles found on the ground, as you can see here, well, you will be

1:12:14 > 1:12:25pleased to hear they did warm back up, though, after a few hours of the

1:12:25 > 1:12:30sun. Presumably they lock down and then get OK in the sunshine.Amazing

1:12:30 > 1:12:36creatures. Amazing.

1:12:36 > 1:12:42The weather is coming up later. The sport as well. We will return to the

1:12:42 > 1:12:50top story.

1:12:50 > 1:12:51Mounting criticism

1:12:51 > 1:12:53of the decision to release serial sex attacker,

1:12:53 > 1:12:55John Worboys, after ten years in prison.

1:12:55 > 1:12:58The news was met with shock by some of his victims

1:12:58 > 1:12:58who say

1:12:58 > 1:13:00they weren't told of the move by authorities.

1:13:00 > 1:13:02Campaigners have also suggested his sentence

1:13:02 > 1:13:03was too short.

1:13:03 > 1:13:06We can speak now to Lisa Thompson who's from the victim support

1:13:06 > 1:13:12charity, Rape and Sexual Violence Project.

1:13:12 > 1:13:19Quite a few issues to address. Some of the victims were not told of his

1:13:19 > 1:13:25release. Surely that is quite unusual.It happens probably more

1:13:25 > 1:13:29commonly than people think. But, absolutely, the victims and

1:13:29 > 1:13:33survivors should have been told and we should have a system with victims

1:13:33 > 1:13:38at the absolute centre, involved at every stage. This is a systemic

1:13:38 > 1:13:44failure that this has happened.So he was sentenced for a minimum of

1:13:44 > 1:13:50eight years. He served, what, nine, ten, years, including being in

1:13:50 > 1:13:57custody for the first time. He was charged with attacking 12 women, the

1:13:57 > 1:14:02suspicion being he attacked more. What is your reaction?I think it is

1:14:02 > 1:14:07absolutely abominable. I could not believe the decision when I heard

1:14:07 > 1:14:13about it. My heart goes out to the women. He is a massive risk. This is

1:14:13 > 1:14:16a massive failure in the system for the women who have courageously

1:14:16 > 1:14:22reported him in the first place and gone to court. My heart goes out to

1:14:22 > 1:14:27them. What they must be thinking, I cannot imagine.In your experience,

1:14:27 > 1:14:31how does this come about? If police say they suspect he attacked

1:14:31 > 1:14:35hundreds of women, around 100 women, why do you think this was not

1:14:35 > 1:14:40reflected in his sentencing? And how has it not been reflected in the

1:14:40 > 1:14:46fact he has been released now?That is a good question. I think that

1:14:46 > 1:14:49sentences often are not reflective of the horrendous crimes that people

1:14:49 > 1:14:54have committed. This was an indeterminate sentence, so,

1:14:54 > 1:14:58actually, he could have been kept in for longer if he was deemed a risk.

1:14:58 > 1:15:04Many people still think he is a risk, so, I think we support the

1:15:04 > 1:15:07parole decisions actually being made public to see what those decisions

1:15:07 > 1:15:11were actually about.There is a system in place to assess his risk

1:15:11 > 1:15:17to the public, and his release, so to speak, will be closely monitored.

1:15:17 > 1:15:22Does that not show that the system is working in terms of monitoring

1:15:22 > 1:15:35him and keeping women, potential victims, safe?

1:15:35 > 1:15:38The judge called Warboys a master of deception. --I don't think it does

1:15:38 > 1:15:44at all. The police can't be there within 24 hours. The risk is there

1:15:44 > 1:15:48to people.He spoke to women who are victims of rape, men and women who

1:15:48 > 1:15:54are victims of rape. What do you say to people when you are trying to

1:15:54 > 1:16:00assure them that there is a system in place, that they are safe?Try to

1:16:00 > 1:16:07give them the courage to go forward. But vast majority of people, 85% who

1:16:07 > 1:16:14have been through sexual offences, don't report because they don't have

1:16:14 > 1:16:19faith in the system. Many survivors feel the ordeal of reporting is as

1:16:19 > 1:16:29bad as the offence they have been through and it's a massive ordeal.

1:16:29 > 1:16:34Macro one -- Yvette Cooper has asked for the decision to be reviewed. Are

1:16:34 > 1:16:42you hopeful this could be done?I don't think this is possible but the

1:16:42 > 1:16:47reasons need to be made public, we can understand what is behind it and

1:16:47 > 1:16:51there is openness and transparency. We need to look at this more closely

1:16:51 > 1:16:57and we need to be up in arms about the system and challenge the system.

1:16:57 > 1:17:04Say to those women that we don't accept this for you.Regarding the

1:17:04 > 1:17:09parole board, it is a 3- member panel. The parole board has released

1:17:09 > 1:17:19a statement of its saying it is heard live evidence from offenders,

1:17:19 > 1:17:23managers, psychiatrists and there has been scope for victims to put

1:17:23 > 1:17:29forward their views. Should we trust in the system?I don't pick we

1:17:29 > 1:17:34should. We are in the same week were a man has been found guilty of

1:17:34 > 1:17:38murdering three of his partners where he has been released up to

1:17:38 > 1:17:43reach of those. Do we have faith in that system? I'm not sure we should.

1:17:43 > 1:17:49We should be challenging it. We need to look at the reasons why this man

1:17:49 > 1:17:57has been deemed to be safe.Thank you very much the joining us this

1:17:57 > 1:18:01morning.

1:18:01 > 1:18:06Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

1:18:06 > 1:18:12These outdoor sampling the weather. Good morning. I am top of

1:18:12 > 1:18:17Broadcasting House in London. Pretty good news from up on the roof.

1:18:17 > 1:18:22Melanie is windy as it has been the few days. The general forecast for

1:18:22 > 1:18:26today is very to be left windy across most of the UK. Some rate in

1:18:26 > 1:18:36the forecast. The coldest Aero at the moment. Some dry weather on the

1:18:36 > 1:18:40top and tail of the country but a bit more breeze through Orkney &

1:18:40 > 1:18:45Shetland. Some clearer conditions to the north-east of England and

1:18:45 > 1:18:49Yorkshire this morning. West of the Pennines in the north-west of

1:18:49 > 1:18:51England, we are seeing some

1:18:51 > 1:18:51Pennines in the north-west of England, we are seeing some showers

1:18:51 > 1:18:58developing. A few showers into parts of the Midlands. More showers along

1:18:58 > 1:19:02southern coastal counties still affecting the south-west where we

1:19:02 > 1:19:05have heavy ones at the moment. Still blustery through the English

1:19:05 > 1:19:12Channel. Lots of showers through Friday morning. Some of the showers

1:19:12 > 1:19:18on the heavy side. Some showers to the far north of the country. Clear

1:19:18 > 1:19:22skies through the night, some frost and very the conditions around. Take

1:19:22 > 1:19:27it easy on some of the roads. You might actually stayed dry throughout

1:19:27 > 1:19:38the day. Elsewhere, showers come and go. Still some sleet and snow over

1:19:38 > 1:19:43the high ground of Scotland. The bridges generally low single figures

1:19:43 > 1:19:48for most part. Into tonight, we continue with quite a bit of cloud

1:19:48 > 1:19:53around. Increasingly wintry through eastern parts of Scotland. --

1:19:53 > 1:19:58eastern parts. The cloud will keep temperatures up for the vast

1:19:58 > 1:20:03majority. Largely frost free. Some frost and ice around into the start

1:20:03 > 1:20:08of Saturday morning. What many of you will notice is the strength of

1:20:08 > 1:20:13the wind. Strong to gale force winds. Showers across many parts of

1:20:13 > 1:20:19England and Wales. Longer spells of rain into the south-east later on.

1:20:19 > 1:20:24That wind will make itself known, making it feel closer to freezing if

1:20:24 > 1:20:31not below. As the winds ease down through Saturday night and showers

1:20:31 > 1:20:38fade, it's going to be a frosty night. You will notice you can avoid

1:20:38 > 1:20:44the frost in the south of the country. Still quite a breeze. Other

1:20:44 > 1:20:48than that, other than a brain to the Channel Islands. Maybe also the

1:20:48 > 1:20:56Shetland. A largely dry and sunny day to come. That is how it is

1:20:56 > 1:21:09looking.

1:21:09 > 1:21:14Hundreds of millions of people depend on them for food and income

1:21:14 > 1:21:22but col leagues are under threat.

1:21:22 > 1:21:23-- coral reefs.

1:21:23 > 1:21:25A study published in the journal Science, suggests there's been

1:21:25 > 1:21:28a dramatic rise in the rate of coral bleaching.

1:21:28 > 1:21:31So what is the significance of this and can it be reversed?

1:21:31 > 1:21:34Let's speak to Nick Graham who's a Professor of Marine Ecology

1:21:34 > 1:21:38at Lancaster University.

1:21:38 > 1:21:43We are familiar with the problems of coral reefs. But yet compiled data

1:21:43 > 1:21:47to show that it is escalating.

1:21:47 > 1:21:47coral reefs. But yet compiled data to show that it is escalating.Coral

1:21:47 > 1:21:54bleaching occurs when coral becomes stressed. Corals are animals. They

1:21:54 > 1:21:58live in a close relationship with single celled algae. The algae give

1:21:58 > 1:22:07the callback colour and their food. The relationship breaks down the

1:22:07 > 1:22:14tissue is translucent. Critically, once this bleach has occurred in the

1:22:14 > 1:22:23algae has been lost, they started out. What we are looking back here,

1:22:23 > 1:22:33the image, that was bleached coral. We have heard about bleaching. And

1:22:33 > 1:22:41we are told that coral can recover from bleaching. What in this study

1:22:41 > 1:22:45is different from what we have been hearing in the past two years. We

1:22:45 > 1:22:59compiled a global database. These data reports go back 40 years. We

1:22:59 > 1:23:04have looked at incidences of coral bleaching through time. Firstly,

1:23:04 > 1:23:12coral bleaching is absolutely a modern phenomenon. It did not occur

1:23:12 > 1:23:21before 1980.It never happened before?Small-scale stress events

1:23:21 > 1:23:25through localised hot patches but these global events where huge areas

1:23:25 > 1:23:33are bleaching, it is a new phenomenon. It is becoming more

1:23:33 > 1:23:41frequent. Any given Reef is not expected to bleach M25, 30 years but

1:23:41 > 1:23:48by 2016, every individual Reef -- Coral Reef is bleaching every six

1:23:48 > 1:23:53years. If the bleaching causes a lot of mortality and you lose 80, 90% of

1:23:53 > 1:23:58coral cover, it can take a minimum of ten years for the fastest growing

1:23:58 > 1:24:04corals to re- popular at the area. Some coral weeks to recover. They

1:24:04 > 1:24:08shipped to these fleshy seaweed states and they are unlikely to

1:24:08 > 1:24:21bounce back and recover.Why is it important that they remain intact?

1:24:21 > 1:24:29Coral reefs cover only 0.1% of the ocean but they contain 30% of

1:24:29 > 1:24:34biodiversity.That is 30% of all the diet -- the bio diversity. If we

1:24:34 > 1:24:39lose coral reefs, we are losing a huge amount of biodiversity. They

1:24:39 > 1:24:42provide food security and livelihoods the hundreds of millions

1:24:42 > 1:24:47of people throughout the tropics. Anybody who worries about food

1:24:47 > 1:24:51insecurity, migration, all these problems, needs to worry about them.

1:24:51 > 1:24:55With the data showing its more frequent and more widespread, that's

1:24:55 > 1:25:01correct, what is your conclusion breast what is causing it and what

1:25:01 > 1:25:14can be done to stop it?It is temperature. The bleaching occurs

1:25:14 > 1:25:21when there is a spiking temperature and an anomaly. We have seen in rise

1:25:21 > 1:25:28of one degree already. A smaller and smaller anomaly caused by El Nino

1:25:28 > 1:25:32pushes coral across the comfort zone. Background temperatures are

1:25:32 > 1:25:39warmer.If you follow your charts through, the worst possible

1:25:39 > 1:25:44scenario, if we don't change anything we carry on, when do coral

1:25:44 > 1:25:51reefs stop being part of the world we live in?Within decades. How many

1:25:51 > 1:25:54decades? The impacts of global warming on coral reefs are happening

1:25:54 > 1:26:01today. In 2016, 75% of the world's coral is bleached.When you say

1:26:01 > 1:26:08decades?20 or 30 if we follow business as usual with carbon

1:26:08 > 1:26:17emissions. Very few coral Reef slapped. If we can address carbon

1:26:17 > 1:26:23emissions, we will see a future with coral reefs. Are you hopeful we

1:26:23 > 1:26:29will? It is absolutely achievable. It comes down to politics and

1:26:29 > 1:26:38whether leaders around the world want a future with coral reefs.

1:26:38 > 1:26:44Professor Nick Graham from Lancaster University, thank you. Plenty coming

1:26:44 > 1:30:04up on Breakfast but first, what is happening where

1:30:04 > 1:30:06Lots more sunshine on Sunday that a chilly

1:30:06 > 1:30:06north-easterly breeze.

1:30:06 > 1:30:07I am back later.

1:30:12 > 1:30:13Hello.

1:30:13 > 1:30:16This is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

1:30:16 > 1:30:19We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

1:30:19 > 1:30:24but also on Breakfast this morning.

1:30:24 > 1:30:26The decision to release the serial sex offender,

1:30:26 > 1:30:28John Worboys, after less than ten years in prison,

1:30:28 > 1:30:34has brought widespread condemnation.

1:30:34 > 1:30:37The former black cab driver was jailed in 2009 for offences

1:30:37 > 1:30:39against 12 female passengers, but police believe he actually

1:30:39 > 1:30:42carried out more than 100 rapes and sexual assaults.

1:30:42 > 1:30:44Victims' groups have expressed outrage that he is being freed

1:30:44 > 1:30:47and the Chair of the 'Home Affairs Select Committee',

1:30:47 > 1:30:49Yvette Cooper, has called on the Parol Board to

1:30:49 > 1:30:53explain its decision.

1:30:53 > 1:30:56For the first time in six years, the number of new car

1:30:56 > 1:30:57sales has fallen.

1:30:57 > 1:30:59In 2017, new car registrations fell by more than 5%.

1:30:59 > 1:31:01And diesel vehicle sales dropped by 17%.

1:31:01 > 1:31:04The fall has been blamed, in part, on financial insecurity surrounding

1:31:04 > 1:31:04Brexit.

1:31:04 > 1:31:07The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders says it expects

1:31:07 > 1:31:12the decline to continue.

1:31:12 > 1:31:14A controversial book, which is a fly-on-the-wall account

1:31:14 > 1:31:16of Donald Trump's first year in the White House,

1:31:16 > 1:31:18is being published today.

1:31:18 > 1:31:20The release date was brought forward, in response to attempts

1:31:20 > 1:31:23by the President's lawyers to try to block it.

1:31:23 > 1:31:26In a tweet overnight, Donald Trump said the book was full

1:31:26 > 1:31:36of lies and criticised his former adviser, Steve Bannon.

1:31:36 > 1:31:40North Korea has accepted an offer by South Korea to hold talks next

1:31:40 > 1:31:43week, in what will be the first meeting between the two countries

1:31:43 > 1:31:45in more than two years.

1:31:45 > 1:31:47It'll take place on Tuesday, in the demilitarised zone that

1:31:47 > 1:31:48divides the peninsula.

1:31:48 > 1:31:51The agenda is expected to focus on improving relations

1:31:51 > 1:31:53between the two sides and the possiblity of Pyongyang

1:31:53 > 1:31:56sending a delegation to the winter Olympics next month.

1:31:56 > 1:31:58Every hot drink served in a disposable cup should be

1:31:58 > 1:32:01subject to a 25 pence tax, according to a group of MPs.

1:32:01 > 1:32:052.5 billion paper cups are thrown away each year but the majority can

1:32:05 > 1:32:07not be recycled because they have a plastic lining.

1:32:07 > 1:32:10The British Coffee Association says a charge is not the answer

1:32:10 > 1:32:13but the Environmental Audit Committee argues the tax would pay

1:32:13 > 1:32:18for improvements to recycling facilities.

1:32:18 > 1:32:21The number of people applying for teacher training courses has

1:32:21 > 1:32:24fallen by a third compared to this time last year.

1:32:24 > 1:32:26The latest figures from the admissions service,

1:32:26 > 1:32:28UCAS, reveal applications to become english, maths and science teachers

1:32:28 > 1:32:30were amongst the most dramatic declines.

1:32:30 > 1:32:33School leaders and academics have warned of a potential crisis

1:32:33 > 1:32:35in the education system but the government has said hundreds

1:32:35 > 1:32:45of millions of pounds are being invested to improve recruitment.

1:32:45 > 1:32:49More than half of all short-nosed dogs seen by a vet last year needed

1:32:49 > 1:32:51treatment for health issues related to their breed.

1:32:51 > 1:32:54The British Veterinary Association has warned that dogs like pugs

1:32:54 > 1:32:56and bulldogs often suffer from breathing difficulties,

1:32:56 > 1:32:57skin problems and eye ulcers.

1:32:57 > 1:33:00Some of the UK's most popular breeds of dogs are facing increasing health

1:33:00 > 1:33:03problems because of the way they are bread.

1:33:03 > 1:33:06More than half of flat faced dogs, including French Bulldogs and pugs,

1:33:06 > 1:33:09seen by vets last year required treatment to correct painful

1:33:09 > 1:33:11deformities including surgery to clear obstructed airways skin

1:33:11 > 1:33:12problems and eye ulcers.

1:33:12 > 1:33:15The British Veterniary Association said the majority of flat-faced dog

1:33:15 > 1:33:20owners are still unaware of any problems with the breeds.

1:33:20 > 1:33:26One last story. It has been incredibly cold in the US. They have

1:33:26 > 1:33:33had a surprising problem. Apparently, iguanas are falling from

1:33:33 > 1:33:43trees because they kind of frees up in the relatively cold weather. --

1:33:43 > 1:33:48freeze. Although they are completely rigid, we have been told after some

1:33:48 > 1:33:55sunshine, their bodies start of get going again.I get it. I feel like

1:33:55 > 1:34:10that all through winter. Sometimes you just want to shut down.There is

1:34:10 > 1:34:16that feeling after winter. You just think, after some sunshine, you

1:34:16 > 1:34:21think, that is better.I feel the same watching the cricket. It has

1:34:21 > 1:34:29been going bad for England.It rained yesterday.It is over for the

1:34:29 > 1:34:38day. They are trying to restore some pride and save themselves from

1:34:38 > 1:34:43losing 4-0. It has all gone wrong.

1:34:43 > 1:34:45Here's the story from day two.

1:34:45 > 1:34:48England were all out for 346, adding 133 to their overnight score,

1:34:48 > 1:34:51but they were helped by this extraordinary dropped catch

1:34:51 > 1:34:51from Josh Hazlewood.

1:34:51 > 1:34:54England did make two early break throughs in Australia's reply,

1:34:54 > 1:34:56including the important wicket of David Warner.

1:34:56 > 1:34:5920-year-old, Mason Crane, got his first taste of Test action

1:34:59 > 1:35:02and he very nearly got the Australia captain Steve Smith,

1:35:02 > 1:35:04who got lucky with edges on a few occasions.

1:35:04 > 1:35:07But omniously Smith is still at the crease alongside

1:35:07 > 1:35:09Usman Khawaja, who'd moved onto 91 by the close.

1:35:09 > 1:35:12Australia are 193 for two, 153 runs behind, with plenty of time

1:35:12 > 1:35:24to get ahead tomorrow.

1:35:24 > 1:35:39I am nervous. Quite excited, though. I had fun. Some edges did not get to

1:35:39 > 1:35:42slip, but that happens. That is the game.

1:35:42 > 1:35:45West Ham have ended Tottenham's 100% record over the festive period.

1:35:45 > 1:35:48It finished 1-1 at Wembley, after a pair of stunning strikes,

1:35:48 > 1:35:51Pedro Obiang put West Ham ahead, and seven minutes from time,

1:35:51 > 1:35:54Son Heung-Min put away an equally impressive long-range effort,

1:35:54 > 1:35:56although Son said he thought Obiang's goal was better.

1:35:56 > 1:36:09Spurs are fifth in the Premier League table.

1:36:09 > 1:36:13The Premier League teams enter the FA Cup third round this weekend

1:36:13 > 1:36:15and the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton kick's

1:36:15 > 1:36:16off the BBC's coverage.

1:36:16 > 1:36:18It's live on BBC One tonight.

1:36:18 > 1:36:21It's been suggested that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp doesn't take

1:36:21 > 1:36:28the FA Cup seriously, something he's keen to disprove.

1:36:28 > 1:36:31The lineup will be a lineup which shows all the respect we have

1:36:31 > 1:36:32for the FA Cup.

1:36:32 > 1:36:33Umm...

1:36:33 > 1:36:36I know a few people have said that I don't respect the competition,

1:36:36 > 1:36:37stuff like that, enough.

1:36:37 > 1:36:39But that is obviously not the truth.

1:36:39 > 1:36:54So, maybe we have to make it a little bit more obvious.

1:36:54 > 1:36:57Manchester City Women's latest signing Nadia Nadim says she wants

1:36:57 > 1:37:00to "be a part of history" after arriving at the WSL club.

1:37:00 > 1:37:03She was Born in Afghanistan but her mother paid traffickers

1:37:03 > 1:37:06to take her and her family to England after the taliban

1:37:06 > 1:37:07murdererd her father.

1:37:07 > 1:37:10The family ended up in Denmark, where she found her love of football

1:37:10 > 1:37:11in a refugee centre.

1:37:11 > 1:37:15Nadim has finally made it to England and says she wants to help

1:37:15 > 1:37:16the club keep growing.

1:37:16 > 1:37:17The club is so young.

1:37:17 > 1:37:19They have achieved so much.

1:37:19 > 1:37:21So, just being a part of that journey, umm,

1:37:21 > 1:37:45and trying to reach even higher levels, it's amazing.

1:37:45 > 1:37:52It started as fine. It quickly became an obsession.What a story.

1:37:52 > 1:38:05-- fun. We wish her a successful career at Manchester City.

1:38:05 > 1:38:08And Serena Williams has pulled out of this month's Australian Open.

1:38:08 > 1:38:11She gave birth to her daughter four months ago and played an exibition

1:38:11 > 1:38:14match last week and was hoping to defend her title,

1:38:14 > 1:38:18but she said although she was "super close" to her best, she wasn't quite

1:38:18 > 1:38:18ready for competition.

1:38:18 > 1:38:25Sport Relief is a few months away. Five celebrities competing over

1:38:25 > 1:38:33obstacle courses. Members of the public try to forecast who will win.

1:38:33 > 1:38:43I entered the race. I am second on the left. Michael Vaughan, the

1:38:43 > 1:38:50cricket legend. I was looking for a shoot here. That is me in the purple

1:38:50 > 1:39:02shirt. -- shoe. I never found it. It is called And They're Off! It is on

1:39:02 > 1:39:15tonight. Michelle from the one show. Penny Lancaster. And some little

1:39:15 > 1:39:22guy.All I am interested in is you. It is the first of six episodes.

1:39:22 > 1:39:30Thank you.

1:39:30 > 1:39:36Perhaps you have a cold or flu. The latest figures from NHS England say

1:39:36 > 1:39:40five times as many are being treated in hospital in the week after

1:39:40 > 1:39:48Christmas as compared to the one before. Is this typical? Let's talk

1:39:48 > 1:40:00to a GP. Good morning. How are you? I am OK. I have a sniffle, but

1:40:00 > 1:40:04that's like many people.What are the basics? People know when they

1:40:04 > 1:40:09have the flu. What is the difference? A heavy cold...If you

1:40:09 > 1:40:15ever have the flu, you know you have it. High temperatures. It takes you

1:40:15 > 1:40:23out. You cannot move. You are aching, you are tied. If you have a

1:40:23 > 1:40:30cold, it does not come on back quickly. -- tired. You can do a

1:40:30 > 1:40:35little bit more and it takes longer to recover from. Most people can

1:40:35 > 1:40:41work out if they have a cold or a flu.What can you do about it when

1:40:41 > 1:40:46you have it?If you have it, if you are healthy, rest, drink plenty of

1:40:46 > 1:40:50fluid, take paracetamol, a depression, your body will fight it

1:40:50 > 1:41:00off. -- ibuprofen. Otherwise, speak to a pharmacist. Look at a website.

1:41:00 > 1:41:09Dial 911. You will get better.There are people who are vulnerable to it,

1:41:09 > 1:41:12the elderly, the pregnant, those with terminal illnesses.That is

1:41:12 > 1:41:17right. They should have been given a flu vaccine. That is the best

1:41:17 > 1:41:21protection against the flu. Hopefully you have had it. If not,

1:41:21 > 1:41:28go and get it. Within 10-14 days you should have built up an immunity.I

1:41:28 > 1:41:31know you are establishing the difference between the flu in the

1:41:31 > 1:41:37cold. Anecdotally, people have said sometimes they have something in

1:41:37 > 1:41:42between. A couple of days completely lifeless, they can only stay in bed,

1:41:42 > 1:41:47but they do not think it is the flu. They have ongoing systems. Sometimes

1:41:47 > 1:41:53they call it a chesty cough that is hard to get rid of.There are many

1:41:53 > 1:42:00viruses that give you a cold. You can end up with a cough that can

1:42:00 > 1:42:05last three weeks. That is perfectly OK. That is how it progresses. If

1:42:05 > 1:42:09you are not sure, speak to pharmacists and find out if things

1:42:09 > 1:42:15are OK. That is OK. With a flu, it does leave you... You have a few

1:42:15 > 1:42:21days of temperature leaving you flat-out. People who have had the

1:42:21 > 1:42:25flu will be able to tell you the difference.It is interesting. We

1:42:25 > 1:42:32have many people getting in touch. Stacey is saying the same thing as

1:42:32 > 1:42:36you. Going back to the flu jab. Christine says she has had this

1:42:36 > 1:42:41virus despite having the flu jab. She is recovering and feels awful.

1:42:41 > 1:42:47Does not know if it is worth having it again. This person asks if it

1:42:47 > 1:42:50covers the Australian flu which is becoming increasingly prevalent in

1:42:50 > 1:42:57the UK.Yes. The short answer is yes. What usually happens is about a

1:42:57 > 1:43:01year or so before the flu comes, The World Health Organization works out

1:43:01 > 1:43:05what they think will happen and tried to make sure the vaccine

1:43:05 > 1:43:12covers those. Australia gets theirs first. They were hit hard this year.

1:43:12 > 1:43:16The vaccine we have at the moment should cover it. Not everyone gets

1:43:16 > 1:43:26the vaccine, not everyone is protected. 40- 60%. That is a lot.

1:43:26 > 1:43:32They have taken the jab.And it is not protecting them? It does not

1:43:32 > 1:43:39seem a great protection rate.No. Ideally... Well, the flu is always

1:43:39 > 1:43:45changing and mutating how it attacks. It is good at it. That is

1:43:45 > 1:43:50why every year it comes back to pick it changes and is more virulent. We

1:43:50 > 1:43:54always try to play catch up and change vaccines and make sure we get

1:43:54 > 1:43:59protection in. I think eventually there will be plans of changing how

1:43:59 > 1:44:06vaccines work so we can protect ourselves.Without... Stereotypes to

1:44:06 > 1:44:10one side, there are some stoic people who say they only have a

1:44:10 > 1:44:15cold.Right.There is a balance between people coming too quickly. I

1:44:15 > 1:44:20have to see the doctor because I feel rough, and the people who never

1:44:20 > 1:44:26go unless they feel really eel. Different people respond

1:44:26 > 1:44:34differently. -- ill. As long as you... You are best judge. We lucky

1:44:34 > 1:44:38there are many sources of information. You can look at things

1:44:38 > 1:44:44and say, hang on, that sounds how I am feeling. Get some advice. It is

1:44:44 > 1:44:49impossible to see a GP sometimes because we are overwhelmed...Yeah?

1:44:49 > 1:44:55Yes. We have to send people in. Hospitals are overwhelmed. The

1:44:55 > 1:45:00number of consultations has gone up. This is the season. Winter is here.

1:45:00 > 1:45:06The flu season is here. Who saw it coming? We are overwhelmed.We

1:45:06 > 1:45:11talked about it being a virus. Is it a myth that if you do not wrap up

1:45:11 > 1:45:18warm you will get the flu?Umm, OK.

1:45:18 > 1:45:21They say that if you keep yourself warm,

1:45:21 > 1:45:25They say that if you keep yourself warm, you are less likely to get it.

1:45:25 > 1:45:32Influenza is a droplet infection. People will pass it on to you. That

1:45:32 > 1:45:38element of things you can control. There is some evidence that when you

1:45:38 > 1:45:42get cold, you are more likely to pick it up.Thank you very much

1:45:42 > 1:45:46field time this morning. Good luck in the surgery. I hope Matt was

1:45:46 > 1:45:54listening. He is wrapped up, just in case. Not wrapped up too much

1:45:54 > 1:46:00compared to recent mornings. The wind is much lighter. Seeing

1:46:00 > 1:46:05pictures from the US, a severe winter storm has been battering

1:46:05 > 1:46:09eastern areas. It got record-breaking cold across much of

1:46:09 > 1:46:18Canada, the eastern US. Temperatures well below freezing. You can see

1:46:18 > 1:46:23some warm air, the Orange colours, in between those we saw a deep and

1:46:23 > 1:46:27significant area of low pressure developed. That has run up the

1:46:27 > 1:46:34eastern coast, throwing in a storm surge. Lots of blizzards as well. Up

1:46:34 > 1:46:40to 50 centimetres of snow. Temperatures are some, particularly

1:46:40 > 1:46:51New York, towards Toronto, -10 to minus 15. Not as cold here of

1:46:51 > 1:46:58course. Thankfully, less windy. We have some chillier across Scotland.

1:46:58 > 1:47:05Snow over higher ground. Clear skies and the top and tail of the country.

1:47:05 > 1:47:12North-east England should be dry and bright. A few showers in the Midland

1:47:12 > 1:47:19-- in the Midlands as well. The south-east, some dry weather.

1:47:19 > 1:47:25Showers running along. Still a bit of breeze along the English Channel.

1:47:25 > 1:47:33Across Wales, showers are widespread and frequent. Temperatures very

1:47:33 > 1:47:40close to freezing at present. We've got some icy conditions. Please take

1:47:40 > 1:47:48it easy out there if you're about to head out. Some parts of southern

1:47:48 > 1:47:51Scotland and towards parts of eastern England will stay dry.

1:47:51 > 1:47:57Elsewhere, the chance of showers in the day. Still the risk of some

1:47:57 > 1:48:03sleet and snow. Temperatures lower than the past two days.

1:48:03 > 1:48:04sleet and snow. Temperatures lower than the past two days. The rain

1:48:04 > 1:48:08coming and going here and there. Turning increasingly to sleet and

1:48:08 > 1:48:18snow. Maybe a touch of frost but for most, the breeze will keep

1:48:18 > 1:48:23temperatures above freezing. It is going to be a cold start the weekend

1:48:23 > 1:48:32regardless. They are coming in from the North and north-east. Emerging

1:48:32 > 1:48:37too long spells of rain in the south-east corner. Brightest in the

1:48:37 > 1:48:40west of Scotland in north-west England. But that cold, really

1:48:40 > 1:48:48adding to the chill. Made to feel subzero, particularly in Scotland.

1:48:48 > 1:48:53Showers into Saturday evening will fade away. Went to the north and

1:48:53 > 1:49:02west. The greatest risk of frost into Sunday morning. -10 possible.

1:49:02 > 1:49:06Sunday, despite the chance of a bit of rain in the Channel Islands and

1:49:06 > 1:49:12in Shetland, high pressure is building. A dry and sunny day to

1:49:12 > 1:49:16many. Good news to enter the forecast.

1:49:16 > 1:49:19many. Good news to enter the forecast. I always take my whether

1:49:19 > 1:49:35guidance from you. Have you booked your holidays. You planned ahead. He

1:49:35 > 1:49:41booked it six months ago. You did? That is talking about when we book

1:49:41 > 1:49:48holidays. Matt clearly got the holiday booking leave. He just goes

1:49:48 > 1:49:58anywhere.

1:49:58 > 1:50:01Yep - last year wasn't a great one for travellers.

1:50:01 > 1:50:03Flights were cancelled, airlines went bust, there was travel

1:50:03 > 1:50:06chaos from bad weather and terrorist attacks put off

1:50:06 > 1:50:07people from travelling.

1:50:07 > 1:50:09All in all, it was a tough year.

1:50:09 > 1:50:11With me is the boss of Virgin Holidays -

1:50:11 > 1:50:12Joe Thompson.

1:50:12 > 1:50:17He started the job in the midst of all that chaos.

1:50:17 > 1:50:25It's there to stay is -- it's fair to say you start the job in a pretty

1:50:25 > 1:50:31turbulent year. Prior to that, I had been in trouble for 14 years,

1:50:31 > 1:50:35working with our sister company, Virgin Atlantic. I am familiar with

1:50:35 > 1:50:40the travel industry being at the beck and call a little bit of those

1:50:40 > 1:50:44global events. It is rare that a day passes and you don't see something

1:50:44 > 1:50:51that affects your business. The key for businesses that are going to be

1:50:51 > 1:50:54successful is that you evolve your product, make sure you stay relevant

1:50:54 > 1:51:00and, holiday perspective, when you buy a package holiday, you get that

1:51:00 > 1:51:04protection which means that if the unexpected does happen when you are

1:51:04 > 1:51:09on holiday, you got that protection and security to know you will be

1:51:09 > 1:51:13looked after. One of the things that usually impressed me was in the

1:51:13 > 1:51:17aftermath of the hurricane season in the Caribbean and the Cabinet was

1:51:17 > 1:51:22offered to customers. We saw customer scores increase from people

1:51:22 > 1:51:29travelling to the Caribbean in September and October last year.

1:51:29 > 1:51:34Really crucial time of year for you. Are you worried about the squeeze on

1:51:34 > 1:51:41incomes? People might not splash out on a big holiday.January is a huge

1:51:41 > 1:51:48month the travel industry. We expect to see about 30% of bookings. It's a

1:51:48 > 1:51:52huge month frost. There are some great deals to be got out there.

1:51:52 > 1:51:58Amazing holiday value. In terms of how that links back to the broader

1:51:58 > 1:52:04macro economic environment, we are seeing some uncertainty. Everyone

1:52:04 > 1:52:08focusing hard on those retail numbers and High Street sales. We

1:52:08 > 1:52:12are confident going into this big weekend, it is going to be the

1:52:12 > 1:52:22biggest weekend. An extra 10% of holiday prices.They singled out

1:52:22 > 1:52:28virgin to misleading customers on prices. You put customers on sale.

1:52:28 > 1:52:41Why? A lot of discussions. We absolutely never want to mislead

1:52:41 > 1:52:52customers.It is a stark example. A holiday in Florida, and then the day

1:52:52 > 1:53:03after, that same holiday was £230 -- £230 less for a couple.It wasn't in

1:53:03 > 1:53:08the sale period initially. The sale started in the price fell. We were

1:53:08 > 1:53:14able to offer better pricing to customers. What we have done is to

1:53:14 > 1:53:19have taken a look at the way we communicate it is as transparent as

1:53:19 > 1:53:27it can be. People know they will get great value.More from me after

1:53:27 > 1:53:36eight o'clock. Some offer me then. I will see it soon. --I will see you

1:53:36 > 1:53:43soon. -- some more from me then. Did you say yes, it is not going to

1:53:43 > 1:53:49happen again? It won't happen again. That is all

1:53:49 > 1:53:52anybody wants to hear.

1:53:52 > 1:53:55They are part of the morning routine for millions of us.

1:53:55 > 1:54:00In fact, so many paper coffee cups, like this, are sold in the UK each

1:54:00 > 1:54:02year, they could circle the planet more than five times.

1:54:02 > 1:54:05However, they are a massive headache for recycling plants,

1:54:05 > 1:54:07because the paper cups actually contain a plastic lining.

1:54:07 > 1:54:10John Maguire is in Cumbria for us this morning -

1:54:10 > 1:54:12this is clearly a problem, but are there solutions?

1:54:12 > 1:54:15I know that Naga drinks Black decaffeinated copy. You are

1:54:15 > 1:54:19quintuplets espresso guide. We are addicted. Only 1% of cups are

1:54:19 > 1:54:41recycled. It is the composition of the materials. Giving into rigidity.

1:54:41 > 1:54:45This is what they term the pulp into. This fantastically vivid

1:54:45 > 1:54:53paper. Making paper itself, the packaging for envelopes. Those

1:54:53 > 1:54:58spindles you can see, about 2.5 tons of paper on now. Let's find out more

1:54:58 > 1:55:08about the process. You got here an idea of some of the stuff you can

1:55:08 > 1:55:14make paper cups into. You warrant -- you are one of only two companies

1:55:14 > 1:55:21doing it. One of the things that we realised, we've got a great source

1:55:21 > 1:55:27of raw materials. Billions of copy cups. What we are doing is, we are

1:55:27 > 1:55:33extracting the plastic from the inside. We are doing it now between

1:55:33 > 1:55:38a few years. What we are able to do is take the woodpulp Al from the cup

1:55:38 > 1:55:44and reuse it into some of those products.A couple of examples here,

1:55:44 > 1:55:54you may recognise this. It can replace plastic as well. You can see

1:55:54 > 1:56:06this.That is rigid, isn't it? Gavin, good morning to you. It is

1:56:06 > 1:56:12half the battle getting the stuff, isn't it? We have run a couple of

1:56:12 > 1:56:17campaigns. If you give the public the facilities to recycle their copy

1:56:17 > 1:56:23cups, they are willing to do so. If he communicated well, we have a

1:56:23 > 1:56:27cycle 4 million cups in nine Months just from the City of London. It can

1:56:27 > 1:56:39be done. I think most people who use disposable copy cups, and industry

1:56:39 > 1:56:44needs to do more to make those facilities. Is that 2023 target, is

1:56:44 > 1:56:53it realistic.It is difficult to recycle 100% of anything. Any

1:56:53 > 1:57:01material, you will struggle to recycle 100%. The number is so low,

1:57:01 > 1:57:05it is less than 1%. There needs to be a real concerted effort.Thank

1:57:05 > 1:57:12you very much. Much more from us. These MPs are saying it should be

1:57:12 > 1:57:1925p extra perk up. I light a levy. We're talking about much more.

1:57:19 > 1:57:23Hopefully this gets you going when you get your early morning cup of

1:57:23 > 2:00:45Joe.

2:01:21 > 2:01:28Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

2:01:28 > 2:01:33The release of a serial sex attacker after ten years in prison. John

2:01:33 > 2:01:37Worboys was jailed for offences on 12 women but police believe he

2:01:37 > 2:01:48carried out more than 100 rapes and sexual assaults.

2:01:53 > 2:01:59It is Friday the 5th of January. A slump in new car sales, figures

2:01:59 > 2:02:03show a drop to their lowest level in six years.

2:02:03 > 2:02:06A squeeze on our incomes, worries over the economy and the end

2:02:06 > 2:02:09of cheap finance deals are being blamed for the fall.

2:02:09 > 2:02:11And there's been a slump in demand for diesel.

2:02:11 > 2:02:15I'll look at what it means for the UK car industry.

2:02:15 > 2:02:19Copper with a conscience, a committee of MPs wants consumers to

2:02:19 > 2:02:23pay 25p for using take break-ups, to help fund better recycling.

2:02:23 > 2:02:25In sport, England's hopes of restoring pride

2:02:25 > 2:02:28are smashed around Sydney.

2:02:28 > 2:02:30Australia take control of the final Ashes test,

2:02:30 > 2:02:37showing no mercy to England's beleagured bowlers on day two.

2:02:37 > 2:02:41A huge winter storm in the United States has caused flooding in Boston

2:02:41 > 2:02:43and giant waves of the East Coast. And Matt

2:02:43 > 2:02:49will have the weather closer to home. At least hear the wind has

2:02:49 > 2:02:53eased compared with recent days. Sleet and snow on the Scottish

2:02:53 > 2:02:58hills, but it is set to get colder this weekend, at least a little bit

2:02:58 > 2:03:02sunnier as well, the full forecast in the next 15 minutes.

2:03:02 > 2:03:06First, our main story.

2:03:06 > 2:03:09The decision to release the serial sex offender John Worboys

2:03:09 > 2:03:11after less than ten years in prison has brought widespread condemnation.

2:03:11 > 2:03:14The Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, Yvette Cooper,

2:03:14 > 2:03:17has called on the parole board to explain why he is being freed.

2:03:17 > 2:03:21He was jailed in 2009 for offences against 12 female passengers,

2:03:21 > 2:03:24but police believe he actually carried out more than 100 rapes

2:03:24 > 2:03:28and sexual assaults.

2:03:28 > 2:03:38Our home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford has more.

2:03:39 > 2:03:42For six years, John Worboys cruised smart areas of London in his black

2:03:42 > 2:03:44cab looking for women to drug and rape.

2:03:44 > 2:03:47When he was finally caught, the judge said he'd serve a minimum

2:03:47 > 2:03:50of eight years in prison and said he wouldn't be released

2:03:50 > 2:03:54until he was no longer a threat to women.

2:03:54 > 2:03:57Worboys would show young women he picked up in his cab large wads

2:03:57 > 2:03:59of cash, saying he'd recently won big at the casino.

2:03:59 > 2:04:02Then he'd offer them champagne, which he'd spiked with sedatives,

2:04:02 > 2:04:03and rape them.

2:04:03 > 2:04:05The judge gave him what's known as an indeterminate sentence,

2:04:05 > 2:04:07under which people are only freed once they're no

2:04:07 > 2:04:13longer considered dangerous.

2:04:13 > 2:04:16The Parole Board has decided Worboys will be released this month under

2:04:16 > 2:04:18supervision after spending less than ten years in prison.

2:04:18 > 2:04:21I've spoken to one of my clients, who is absolutely horrified

2:04:21 > 2:04:24and really distressed that nobody had the courtesy to inform her,

2:04:24 > 2:04:28so she's in the middle of cooking tea for her kids and she hears this

2:04:28 > 2:04:31on the radio, and feels absolutely sick to her stomach.

2:04:31 > 2:04:34The organisation Rape Crisis said it was far too soon for Worboys

2:04:34 > 2:04:39to be released.

2:04:39 > 2:04:40Although police believe John Worboys attacked over 100

2:04:40 > 2:04:44women, he was only convicted of attacking 12.

2:04:44 > 2:04:47And only one of those convictions was for rape.

2:04:47 > 2:04:50And that's why his sentence was so short.

2:04:50 > 2:04:56All the same, under the indeterminate sentence rules,

2:04:56 > 2:04:59the Parole Board will need to have assured themselves that John Worboys

2:04:59 > 2:05:01was no longer a risk as a sexual predator.

2:05:01 > 2:05:06Daniel Sandford, BBC News.

2:05:06 > 2:05:10Last year, new car sales in the UK fell for the first time since 2011.

2:05:10 > 2:05:13Forecasts suggest they will continue to stuggle over

2:05:13 > 2:05:19the coming months too.

2:05:19 > 2:05:23Car sales give an indication of how well we think the economy is doing

2:05:23 > 2:05:27because we are more likely to splash out on a new car if we think things

2:05:27 > 2:05:32are going OK, a bit of money in your pocket. Let me run you through the

2:05:32 > 2:05:36figures, new car sales were down by 5.6% last year, quite a significant

2:05:36 > 2:05:40fall because the industry has been growing so quickly over the last ten

2:05:40 > 2:05:46years or so but if we broke that down into diesel sales as well, a

2:05:46 > 2:05:51particularly big four, 17%, which has given the bad headlines about

2:05:51 > 2:05:57emissions and whether diesel is better or worse for the environment

2:05:57 > 2:06:00and the forecast for the next couple of years are not great either,

2:06:00 > 2:06:03suggesting we have hit the peak of the market for the time being and

2:06:03 > 2:06:08things will tail off over the next couple of years. Why, because it is

2:06:08 > 2:06:14a perfect storm of factors, we are more uncertain about the economy,

2:06:14 > 2:06:18uncertain about diesel, changes in car tax last year made it more

2:06:18 > 2:06:21expensive to own and run a car, and the inflation that we have been

2:06:21 > 2:06:24talking about means we have less money in our pocket, prices are

2:06:24 > 2:06:28going up, but the biggest issue is what is done as personal contract

2:06:28 > 2:06:33payments, a way you might buy a car, offered by new car sellers and is

2:06:33 > 2:06:36basically means you pay a bit every month and at the end of the period

2:06:36 > 2:06:48you have the option to buy the car

2:06:53 > 2:06:56outright and hand it back and get a new one, but that means there have

2:06:56 > 2:06:59been a tonne of second-hand cars flooding the market which has

2:06:59 > 2:07:01brought down prices and beans people may be opting for a second-hand car

2:07:01 > 2:07:04rather than a new one, which is why we have seen new car sales fall by

2:07:04 > 2:07:055.6% last year.

2:07:05 > 2:07:07A controversial book, which is a fly-on-the-wall account

2:07:07 > 2:07:09of Trump's first year in power, is being published today.

2:07:09 > 2:07:12The publisher opted for an earlier release date in response to attempts

2:07:12 > 2:07:14by the President's lawyers to block it.

2:07:14 > 2:07:16In a tweet overnight, Donald Trump said it was full

2:07:16 > 2:07:18of lies and criticised his former adviser, Steve Bannon.

2:07:18 > 2:07:20Our North America correspondent Peter Bowes reports.

2:07:20 > 2:07:21Publish and be damned.

2:07:21 > 2:07:23The book that won't go away.

2:07:23 > 2:07:25The White House dispute its accuracy and the President's lawyers have

2:07:25 > 2:07:35threatened to sue for libel.

2:07:39 > 2:07:41They've demanded that the author, Michael Wolff, and the publisher

2:07:41 > 2:07:44should immediately cease and desist from any further publication.

2:07:44 > 2:07:46Instead, the release date has been brought forward,

2:07:46 > 2:07:47much to the apparent delight of Mr Wolff.

2:07:47 > 2:07:50"Here you go, you can buy it and read it, thank you,

2:07:50 > 2:07:51Mr President," he tweets.

2:07:51 > 2:07:54The White House says the book is tabloid trash,

2:07:54 > 2:07:55false, and fraudulent.

2:07:55 > 2:07:57It portrays Mr Trump as being surprised at winning

2:07:57 > 2:07:59the presidency, and paints a picture of his administration

2:07:59 > 2:08:01as dysfunctional and divided.

2:08:01 > 2:08:03Steve Bannon, who's widely quoted in the extracts already published,

2:08:03 > 2:08:10has not disputed their content.

2:08:10 > 2:08:12His response on a radio programme, to declare his unfailing support

2:08:12 > 2:08:14for the President.

2:08:14 > 2:08:16The President of the United States is a great man.

2:08:16 > 2:08:18You know, I support him day in and day out,

2:08:18 > 2:08:21whether going through the country giving the public miracle speech

2:08:21 > 2:08:24or on the show or on the website.

2:08:24 > 2:08:26And Mr Trump's response to that...

2:08:26 > 2:08:28I don't know, he called me a great man last night.

2:08:28 > 2:08:31So, you know, he obviously changed his tune pretty quick.

2:08:31 > 2:08:33Now, with the lawyers poised, there's an entire book to read

2:08:33 > 2:08:35for the next instalment in this extraordinary saga.

2:08:35 > 2:08:42Peter Bowes, BBC News.

2:08:42 > 2:08:44North Korea has accepted an offer by South Korea

2:08:44 > 2:08:47to hold talks next week, in what will be the first meeting

2:08:47 > 2:08:49between the two countries in more than two years.

2:08:49 > 2:08:51It'll take place on Tuesday, in the demilitarised

2:08:51 > 2:08:56zone that divides the peninsula.

2:08:56 > 2:08:58The agenda is expected to focus on improving relations

2:08:58 > 2:09:00between the two sides and the possiblity of Pyongyang

2:09:00 > 2:09:02sending a delegation to the Winter Olympics next month.

2:09:02 > 2:09:05Every hot drink served in a disposable cup should be

2:09:05 > 2:09:08subject to a 25p tax, according to a group of MPs.

2:09:08 > 2:09:102.5 billion paper cups are thrown away each year

2:09:10 > 2:09:13but the majority can not be recycled because they have a plastic lining.

2:09:13 > 2:09:16The British Coffee Association says a charge is not the answer but

2:09:16 > 2:09:18the Environmental Audit Committee argues the tax would

2:09:18 > 2:09:24pay for improvements to recycling facilities.

2:09:24 > 2:09:26The number of people applying for teacher training courses has

2:09:26 > 2:09:29fallen by a third compared to this time last year.

2:09:29 > 2:09:31The latest figures from the admissions service, UCAS,

2:09:31 > 2:09:40reveal applications to become english, maths and science

2:09:40 > 2:09:44teachers were amongst the most dramatic declines.

2:09:44 > 2:09:48School leaders and academics have warned of a potential crisis

2:09:48 > 2:09:50in the education system but the Government has said

2:09:50 > 2:09:52hundreds of millions of pounds are being invested

2:09:52 > 2:09:54to improve recruitment.

2:09:54 > 2:09:57A severe winter storm is hitting the eastern United States,

2:09:57 > 2:09:58bringing strong winds and blizzards.

2:09:58 > 2:10:00It's the tenth day of record-breaking low

2:10:00 > 2:10:01temperatures, which have already claimed several lives.

2:10:01 > 2:10:03Greater Boston is one of the areas forecast

2:10:03 > 2:10:04to receive more heavy snow.

2:10:04 > 2:10:10CBS News correspondent Kenneth Craig told us about the situation there.

2:10:10 > 2:10:14The snow has finally tapered off, after about 12 hours of pounding

2:10:14 > 2:10:19snow, but the wind has not let up today, we thought 40, 50 mph wind

2:10:19 > 2:10:25here in the city of Boston, and out on the coast of buds of 70 mph plus,

2:10:25 > 2:10:29and some significant flooding and a number of rescues in some

2:10:29 > 2:10:32communities. What was really remarkable to watch today is just

2:10:32 > 2:10:36how quickly all of this happened and how quickly all of the snow came

2:10:36 > 2:10:41down. It was really incredible to watch, at times we were seeing three

2:10:41 > 2:10:45inches of snow and hour and this, as you see, is what has been left

2:10:45 > 2:10:50behind in its path, a very, very serious storm and now the clean-up

2:10:50 > 2:10:54begins and on top of that, over the next couple of days, this is not

2:10:54 > 2:11:00over because we are going to have this arctic blast come in, about 24

2:11:00 > 2:11:03Fahrenheit right now, tomorrow at this time we could be in the single

2:11:03 > 2:11:10digits with wind chill well below zero.

2:11:10 > 2:11:14And those low temperatures have been causing problems for many people,

2:11:14 > 2:11:23but also for cold-blooded creatures in Florida.

2:11:23 > 2:11:25Videos uploaded to social media show frozen iguanas that

2:11:25 > 2:11:28had fallen from trees.

2:11:28 > 2:11:32They were so cold, they literally froze stiff from the cold.But what

2:11:32 > 2:11:38then did happen is when they put the iguanas in the sunshine, on a warm

2:11:38 > 2:11:39piece of grass, they defrosted, effectively.

2:11:39 > 2:11:44It is like a form of hibernation, effectively?

2:11:44 > 2:11:48Exactly, stasis, and they recovered, so they are fine, so extreme

2:11:48 > 2:11:53temperatures in Boston and in Florida as well. Matt will bring us

2:11:53 > 2:11:57date with those and of course bring us up-to-date with what is happening

2:11:57 > 2:12:00is happening in the UK.

2:12:00 > 2:12:02Over recent weeks, we've be hearing how a number of rape

2:12:02 > 2:12:05trials have collapsed, after it was revealed vital evidence

2:12:05 > 2:12:08had not be disclosed by prosecutors.

2:12:08 > 2:12:10And earlier this week, it emerged Danny Kay had

2:12:10 > 2:12:16served three years in jail after being wrongly

2:12:16 > 2:12:20In a moment we'll speak to him about his experience and the issues

2:12:20 > 2:12:22this case raises for both victims and those falsely accused.

2:12:22 > 2:12:24First, though, let's get more from Breakfast's Graham

2:12:24 > 2:12:27Satchell on Danny's story.

2:12:27 > 2:12:32Danny Kay spent two years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. He was

2:12:32 > 2:12:38eventually cleared of rape when old deleted Facebook messages cast doubt

2:12:38 > 2:12:43on the truthfulness of his accuser. Texts, e-mails, social media

2:12:43 > 2:12:46messages, all have become hugely important in rape trials, they can

2:12:46 > 2:12:49provide vital evidence of the relationship between the accuser and

2:12:49 > 2:12:55the accused. Leah Malan's rape trial was stopped last month. Text

2:12:55 > 2:12:59messages from the woman who had accused him cast doubt on the

2:12:59 > 2:13:03allegations. In his case, police had the messages but did not pass them

2:13:03 > 2:13:07onto his defence lawyer.An apology just doesn't feel like enough. The

2:13:07 > 2:13:12length of time that I faced, the fact that the person remains

2:13:12 > 2:13:15anonymous when I am everywhere and have been dragged through hell for

2:13:15 > 2:13:21the last two years, an apology does not even slightly cut it at all.In

2:13:21 > 2:13:31Danny's

2:13:33 > 2:13:35case, failed to find the Facebook messages, they were discovered by

2:13:35 > 2:13:37his sister-in-law, but both cases have raised a significant questions

2:13:37 > 2:13:40about the disclosure of evidence and the ability of police to gather what

2:13:40 > 2:13:41may be critical digital messages.

2:13:41 > 2:13:44Danny Kay joins us now, along with his lawyer, Philip Rule.

2:13:44 > 2:13:47People will be aware this is not easy for you, talking about this and

2:13:47 > 2:13:49these circumstances, one of the first interviews you have done.

2:13:49 > 2:13:53Thank you for being here. First of all, if you could take us back to

2:13:53 > 2:13:57the moment, in court, when you have gone through the trial and that

2:13:57 > 2:14:01moment when the verdict that you know to be wrong is read out, can

2:14:01 > 2:14:08you just put us in that moment, what that was like for you?Devastating.

2:14:08 > 2:14:13For a system that you trust to let you down, I had complete faith in

2:14:13 > 2:14:17it, I trusted that the truth would come out in trial and it didn't.Do

2:14:17 > 2:14:24you remember very vividly that you were standing up in court, who you

2:14:24 > 2:14:29looked at first, what your instinctive reaction was?No, not

2:14:29 > 2:14:36really, it was all a bit blank. I remember sitting there, standing up

2:14:36 > 2:14:41for the jewellery to come out, the judge asked for a majority vote and

2:14:41 > 2:14:49the majority was guilty, that was it.Had you been given any

2:14:49 > 2:14:53indication, it is inevitable you would discuss this with your loyal,

2:14:53 > 2:14:56any indication about where the verdict was going? Did you have any

2:14:56 > 2:15:00feeling in the run-up to that?Not really, in the start of the trial my

2:15:00 > 2:15:04legal team said we would pretty much breeze through it.They were

2:15:04 > 2:15:09confident because of the evidence? The lack of evidence, pretty much.

2:15:09 > 2:15:13The only bit of evidence they had was something that she had tampered

2:15:13 > 2:15:19with, so...What you are saying there, this is the reason that your

2:15:19 > 2:15:23conviction has now been quashed, is that there were social media

2:15:23 > 2:15:27messages between you and the woman who accused you of raping her, and

2:15:27 > 2:15:31some of those were omitted in terms of evidence, and the reason this has

2:15:31 > 2:15:35been quashed now is because they were discovered? How did that come

2:15:35 > 2:15:43about?I passed my details onto my sister-in-law whilst I was in

2:15:43 > 2:15:47prison, and she went on to Facebook and recovered them from an archive.

2:15:47 > 2:15:54Why do you think it was possible for your sister-in-law to recover those

2:15:54 > 2:15:58and not the police?I just think the police didn't bother looking, to be

2:15:58 > 2:16:04honest.

2:16:04 > 2:16:08Philip, it's probably a good time to bring you into this story. As Danny

2:16:08 > 2:16:11has explained there was evidence that wasn't discovered by the

2:16:11 > 2:16:15police. What have you learned as you have looked into the case?Danny's

2:16:15 > 2:16:20case is an example where things have now been put right, which is

2:16:20 > 2:16:24fortunate, albeit too late really for Justice to have been served in

2:16:24 > 2:16:28this case. Amongst lawyers who work in the justice system, it's not

2:16:28 > 2:16:34uncommon to see in adequate or late disclosure of evidence being held by

2:16:34 > 2:16:40police given over to the defence team. Danny's places is slightly

2:16:40 > 2:16:44unusual because all reasonable lines of enquiry don't seem to have been

2:16:44 > 2:16:53followed in relation to digital media, because we know that the

2:16:53 > 2:17:03account given by the girl of her social media didn't include the

2:17:03 > 2:17:07majority of messages.What steps should be taken?The officer in

2:17:07 > 2:17:13charge of the case has to investigate the case and disclose

2:17:13 > 2:17:18information. In investigating, the officer's duty is to follow all

2:17:18 > 2:17:23lines of enquiry both against and for the suspect, so looking at

2:17:23 > 2:17:27innocence and guilt, and then provide that to defence lawyers,

2:17:27 > 2:17:31whoever they were at the time, before my involvement to ensure that

2:17:31 > 2:17:39material is placed before the jury, because for the public to maintain

2:17:39 > 2:17:43faith in the justice system, we need to know police officers are properly

2:17:43 > 2:17:49trained, able to do these things, in all cases, not just cases as serious

2:17:49 > 2:17:53as this, because it still matters to the accused, witnesses and genuine

2:17:53 > 2:17:57victims who are looking to the police to conduct these

2:17:57 > 2:18:02investigations fairly with fair trials to follow. So we can all as a

2:18:02 > 2:18:06society have that faith in a fair trial maintained. Unfortunately,

2:18:06 > 2:18:13there have been quite a few enquiries recently with both the

2:18:13 > 2:18:23ease and the BCS jointly finding that material passed on was poor.

2:18:23 > 2:18:26Danny, you spent a long time in prison and you shouldn't have been

2:18:26 > 2:18:31there. At your lowest ebb, what was going through your head in those

2:18:31 > 2:18:43circumstances?I was focusing on my appeal, it was going down for quite

2:18:43 > 2:18:47awhile, and then focusing on rebuilding my life when I got out.

2:18:47 > 2:18:50Do you think you are in a position now where you can rebuild your life

2:18:50 > 2:18:54or go back to a life where... You can't forget what has happened in

2:18:54 > 2:19:00the last four years, but have a decent and happy life now?Yes, I

2:19:00 > 2:19:03can start building towards that, yes. It will still be difficult

2:19:03 > 2:19:08because it will always be on my name.Do you feel that, do you feel

2:19:08 > 2:19:11that no matter what has happened, the conviction has been quashed, it

2:19:11 > 2:19:16should never have happened, do you still feel it hangs over you?Yes,

2:19:16 > 2:19:19there will always be people out there who have their doubts.We

2:19:19 > 2:19:23appreciate you coming in and telling your story to us. Thank you as well

2:19:23 > 2:19:30for your time this morning. Thank you.Thank you.It is 90 minutes

2:19:30 > 2:19:35past eight. Time to look at the weather with Matt. -- added 8:19am.

2:19:35 > 2:19:38We have talked about the extreme weather conditions in the United

2:19:38 > 2:19:40States and it has been very gusty hair.

2:19:40 > 2:19:41States and it has been very gusty hair.

2:19:41 > 2:19:47Indeed. Thankfully temperatures are improving in the United States,

2:19:47 > 2:19:52where highs today are only minus 15. Nowhere near as cold here, set to

2:19:52 > 2:19:55get colder this weekend, but the big news is that it is nowhere near as

2:19:55 > 2:19:59windy as it has been across the UK. Much improved conditions for much of

2:19:59 > 2:20:06the UK. Some rain here and there, not everyone will see it, and with

2:20:06 > 2:20:09cold weather across Scotland where we have rain at the moment, there

2:20:09 > 2:20:13could be sleet and snow across higher ground. Even clearer skies,

2:20:13 > 2:20:19we will see some frost and I surround this morning, in parts of

2:20:19 > 2:20:22Cumbria, Northumberland, north-east England. A bit more rain across

2:20:22 > 2:20:27other parts of north-east England, across parts of the North Midlands

2:20:27 > 2:20:32as well. Some of that will be on the heavier side. East Anglia largely

2:20:32 > 2:20:36dry, some showers along southern coastal countries of the UK. They

2:20:36 > 2:20:41have made it to the south-western corner. Across Wales, lots of

2:20:41 > 2:20:49showers around to find, starting the day heavier. Temperatures hovering

2:20:49 > 2:20:55around the freezing mark and eyes on roads and pavements this morning,

2:20:55 > 2:21:01they take it easy if you are heading outside shortly. But many places

2:21:01 > 2:21:08will stay dry today, elsewhere there is the risk of a shower around and

2:21:08 > 2:21:13in Scotland, those showers will be wintry across higher ground.

2:21:13 > 2:21:19Temperatures today, lower than we have seen in recent days. Maybe,

2:21:19 > 2:21:22just maybe getting into double figures across the Channel Islands.

2:21:22 > 2:21:27As we go into tonight, still lots of cloud, there will be further showers

2:21:27 > 2:21:30around, making their way south as we go through this evening and

2:21:30 > 2:21:33overnight. The showers we do see across eastern Scotland and Northern

2:21:33 > 2:21:37Ireland by the end of the night will start to turn increasingly wintry, a

2:21:37 > 2:21:43little bit of sleet and show mixed in -- sleet and snow mixed in. Frost

2:21:43 > 2:21:48and eyes could be around again into the morning, but elsewhere, cloud in

2:21:48 > 2:21:51place and a strengthening breeze, so temperatures shouldn't drop too

2:21:51 > 2:21:55much. Most of you will start Saturday frost free but wherever you

2:21:55 > 2:21:59are, it will be a cold start to the weekend. Let's have a look at what

2:21:59 > 2:22:06is happening through the weekend. For much of eastern Scotland and

2:22:06 > 2:22:12Northern Ireland, showers around, pushing southwards and is Druids.

2:22:12 > 2:22:23The wind will give an added chill -- and eastwards. As showers fade away,

2:22:23 > 2:22:28we could see lows of -10 overnight in parts of rural Scotland where

2:22:28 > 2:22:34there's snow is lying. Finishing Saturday night into Sunday morning

2:22:34 > 2:22:39across southern coastal counties, touching gale force winds across the

2:22:39 > 2:22:43Channel, but Sunday in itself, dry with sunny spells. Possibly some

2:22:43 > 2:22:49rain for the Channel Islands, but for the vast majority, Sunday looks

2:22:49 > 2:22:56like a good day for the vast majority if you don't mind the cold.

2:22:56 > 2:22:58like a good day for the vast majority if you don't mind the cold.

2:22:58 > 2:23:02Thank you.

2:23:02 > 2:23:05There are many things you can't do until you turn 16 -

2:23:05 > 2:23:07such as buying a lottery ticket or working full-time.

2:23:07 > 2:23:10Now another has been added to the list - and it relates

2:23:10 > 2:23:11to caffeine consumption.

2:23:11 > 2:23:13One supermarket has announced that, from March,

2:23:13 > 2:23:15it will restrict the sale of highly caffeinated energy

2:23:15 > 2:23:22drinks to under 16s.

2:23:22 > 2:23:24Joining us now is Jenny Rosborough who's a nutritionist from Action

2:23:24 > 2:23:26on Sugar and Patsy Kane, the Executive Head Teacher

2:23:26 > 2:23:30of the The Education and Leadership Trust.

2:23:30 > 2:23:35Obviously schools have an interest in this. First of all, a reaction to

2:23:35 > 2:23:41be banned, by one supermarket.What do you think? I think it's a really

2:23:41 > 2:23:45good move and to be encouraged. It would be nice to see either a

2:23:45 > 2:23:49voluntary ban or national guidelines on that.If it in reaction to a

2:23:49 > 2:23:55problem, Jenny?Yes, so the drinks come with a warning label that there

2:23:55 > 2:23:58is not recommended for children, yet at the moment they are freely

2:23:58 > 2:24:02available for children to buy and they are doing so, on their way to

2:24:02 > 2:24:04school, perhaps on their lunch breaks as well and that can create

2:24:04 > 2:24:10huge problems.I suppose I was trying to get that, is there a

2:24:10 > 2:24:14problem amongst children, those under 16, who are buying more

2:24:14 > 2:24:18caffeinated drinks?With energy drinks, it's not only the caffeine,

2:24:18 > 2:24:23and busy they do can contain more caffeine than is recommended for

2:24:23 > 2:24:27children, but also the sugar. Some contain 22 spoons of sugar and

2:24:27 > 2:24:30children already have two to three times the amount of sugar

2:24:30 > 2:24:38recommended.Our more children buying these drinks these days?

2:24:38 > 2:24:43Between 2006 in 2014, the increase in sales was by about 150%, so it's

2:24:43 > 2:24:47definitely not something that's been going down, so we need policy to

2:24:47 > 2:24:51tackle that.Patsy, as far as the school is concerned, there is

2:24:51 > 2:24:54evidence that there is too much caffeine, they are getting too much

2:24:54 > 2:24:58in their system. A child comes into school with one of these drinks,

2:24:58 > 2:25:09what do you do?One of the issues is, particularly in one of the

2:25:09 > 2:25:12schools are now trust, they weren't coming in with just one, they were

2:25:12 > 2:25:15coming in with three or four. Local shops were selling for for a pound,

2:25:15 > 2:25:17they weren't eating breakfast, they were coming in with blazer pockets

2:25:17 > 2:25:19and bags stuffed with these high-energy drinks. We instituted a

2:25:19 > 2:25:23ban and we have a bag check, which we haven't done in any of our other

2:25:23 > 2:25:27schools. The reports back from teaching staff was that the
