07/01/2018 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Roger Johnson and Rachel

Burden.

Plans to give MPs a vote

on fox hunting are abandoned

by the Prime Minister.

The Conservatives

promised an option

on ending the ban on hunting

during last years' election.

Good morning.

It's Sunday, 7th January.

Also this morning, some of the UK's

biggest retailers agree to stop

selling acids and corrosive

substances to under-18s,

in a bid to cut the number

of life-changing attacks.

Plans are announced to plant

a new Northern Forest stretching

from Liverpool to Hull.

And coming up in sport,

we'll have the latest from the final

Ashes Test -

you probably won't like it.

And Mark Hughes is sacked

as manager of Stoke,

just hours after the club's FA Cup

third-round exit at the hands

of League Two Coventry City.

Hollywood stars prepare to use

tonight's Golden Globe awards

to highlight the campaign

against sexism and harassment.

And Stav has the weather.

Good morning. A very cold, that

lovely and sunny Sunday. -- but. It

stays cold into the beginning of

next week, then we will see some

changes. Stay with me for the full

forecast later.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Theresa May will abandon plans

for MPs to get a vote on fox hunting

before 2022 when the next general

election is due to be held.

In an interview on the BBC's

Andrew Marr show, she confirmed

she would be going back

on the pledge she made

in last year's manifesto.

Our political correspondent

Eleanor Garnier reports.

It has been illegal to set a pack of

hounds on a fox for more than a

decade in England and Wales.

Instead, hunts have had to follow

specially laid trails of sand. Many

conservatives in the campaigners

would like the Hunting Act is to be

scrapped to allow horses and hounds

to go back to the way things were.

But having lost the Tories their

parliamentary majority in last

year's general election, Theresa

May's plans to give MPs a vote on

the issue were pushed back to 2019.

Now, in an attempt to prove her

party's fortunes and show showers

this to the electorate, the Prime

Minister has gone one step further.

One of the clear messages we got on

a number of areas was when people

are concerned about what we were

proposing. Just as we have looked at

issues on school funding and tuition

fees and housing, we are taking

forward approaches in relation to

that. On this issue of foxhunting,

what I can say is that there will

not be a vote during this

parliament.

For now, then, there is

little chance the law on foxhunting

will be changing any time soon.

And you can see the whole interview

with the Prime Minister

on the Andrew Marr Show this morning

at 9 o'clock on BBC One.

There will also be big changes ahead

in the Prime Minister's cabinet

from tomorrow morning as Theresa May

begins her reshuffle.

There's speculation in the papers

this morning as to who will be

moved or sacked.

Our political correspondent

Susana Mendonca is in our London

newsroom this morning.

What could we expect to happen

over the coming days?

Suggestions in the Sunday Telegraph

that Justine Greening is fighting

for her job.

Also on the front page

of the Sunday Times, they don't have

quite as much on it, it is inside

the paper this morning. On the front

page they talk again, a bit of

speculation, Jeremy Hunt and Chris

Grayling linked to replacing Damien

Green, among the possibilities being

discussed.

Susanna is in the London

newsroom. Can you tell us more about

that reshuffle speculation?

Well, it

is exactly that speculation, and

Downing Street have said that it is

purely speculation at this stage.

What we can expect is that tomorrow

will have some of the Cabinet

positions reshuffled and then on

Tuesday some of the more junior

positions. You mentioned Justine

Greening. Her name has been in the

mix as being moved elsewhere. Some

of the rumour mill suggests that she

might the moved into the role

currently held by Andrea Leadsom.

All of this, of course, is happening

partly because Theresa May had a

torrid time over the last couple of

months where we saw two ministers

actually standing down. Another

minister, Damian Green, was forced

to resign over issues around his

conduct. So she is in a position

where she does need to have

something of a reshuffle. The

understand there is lots of pressure

on her to bring up new names, people

who are perhaps rising stars of the

party. -- we understand. The danger

for Theresa May, as always with

reshuffles, is that you end up

creating enemies, especially if you

put somebody on the back and she

doesn't want to be them, or you put

them on a roll that they don't want,

that could be difficult for her. She

only has a working majority of 12.

We saw her lose a vote before

Christmas because she had rebels

within her own party. She cannot

afford any more rebels. It is a

difficult one for her to tread.

Susannah Carr must rank you.

Some of the UK's largest retailers

have voluntarily agreed to stop

selling acids and corrosive

substances to customers under

18 years old.

Ministers hope the measure will help

stop the rise in attacks

until new laws are

considered by Parliament.

Here's our home affairs

correspondent, Dominic Casciani.

The human cost of an acid attack.

Where is it hurting, mate, your

eyes?

Police officers pour water

over the victim last July. Thieves

wanted the London delivery driver's

mopeds. His helmet saved him from

serious injury. Police recorded more

than 500 attacks involving corrosive

substances in England and Wales in

the year to last April. Officials

think the true figure could be twice

as high. Ministers have launched an

acid action plan to cut attacks.

Today the first part of that plan,

and voluntary ban by DIY chains,

including B&Q, on selling harmful

chemicals to under 18s. Waitrose and

the Co-op are also involved.

Agreeing to challenge underage

customers, just like they would if

they were buying alcohol.

Acid

attacks are most horrific crimes,

and what we want to do is make sure

that we restrict access, supported

victims, police these attacks really

affect to believe.

It isn't just

major retailers who are signing up

to secure their shelves. The

association representing hardware

shop is urging them to play their

part as well. This one in London

says the move is long overdue.

Definitely a good idea. We have

always checked IDE for acid. Same

thing, if you go to a supermarket

and you go to buy alcohol, you are

asked Friday. It should either same

thing here. -- you are asked for ID.

This measure may be a stopgap.

Ministers want a full ban on sales

to under 18s, and have asked

Parliament to create a new crime for

carrying acid without a good reason.

A growing number of men

are being targetted by stalkers,

according to new research

by Five Live Investigates.

Crime figures suggest around

450,000 men in England

and Wales experience stalking over

the course of a year.

But, according to data

from 41 police forces,

only 1,800 stalking offences

against men have been recorded

by officers over

the past three years.

Germany's Christian Democrats,

led by the Chancellor,

Angela Merkel, will begin five days

of exploratory talks today

on forming a coalition government

with the Social Democrats.

Mrs Merkel has been trying to build

a new coalition since September

after her party lost more than 60

seats in the parliamentary

elections.

President Macron of France is due

to lay wreaths at the offices

in Paris of the satirical magazine,

Charlie Hebdo, to remember

the victims of an Islamist attack

there three years ago today.

12 people, including

several cartoonists,

died when two gunmen burst

into an editorial meeting.

A policeman was shot dead outside.

The president will also visit

a Jewish supermarket in the city

where four hostages were killed

by another Islamist two days later.

Nasa's longest serving astronaut,

John Young, has died

at the age of 87.

He was one of just 12 men

who have walked on the moon,

and he flew the first

space shuttle mission.

Former commander of

the International Space Station,

Chris Hadfield, has described him

as an inspiration.

John was a fascinating, devoted and

passionate and really fearless man.

Just a role model to so many

astronauts, including the six people

who are up on the space station

right now. A life really well lived

and a good friend of mine.

Plans to create a new 'Northern

Forest' stretching from Liverpool

to Hull have been announced

by the government.

It's providing £5.7 million

to increase tree cover along

a belt spanning Manchester,

Leeds and Bradford.

The Woodland Trust is

running the project,

which will cost £500 million

pounds over 25 years.

Most of that money will need to be

raised by the charity itself.

Our correspondent Roger

Harrabin has more.

The bare hills of the north. One of

the most denuded parts of a country

which itself has less woodland than

almost anywhere in Europe. The land

stripped of centuries for timber and

farming, scarred by industry,

overgrazed by sheep farming. At

snowballs near Manchester, things

will be different. -- Smithils.

Planting has begun for what will be

known as the Northern Forest.

We

think the Northern Forest will be a

pathfinder for extending Forest and

woodland right across country. We

think trees and Woods can add value

in many different landscapes. We

just want to do it here first and do

it big.

It isn't really a forest.

The project will create new woods

near towns and plant river valleys

liable to flooding. But money is

tight, and many of these hills will

look just as bleak and 35 years.

What's more, the Woodland Trust

expects some of their cash to come

from environmental funds linked to

the HS two rail line. --. HS2.

The

supreme irony is that the government

is giving with one hand and taking

it with the other, and I'm referring

to the root of HS2, -- the root of

HS2. Why can't the government did

with both hands and stop threatening

Asian forest?

Year is what some

ambitious planting can do. This is

the national forest in the Midlands.

Begun in the 1990s, now to lighting

local people.

What a good idea.

Yes, now, if you

are doing Dry January, this is a few

months down the line so it will be

all right. Pub opening hours could

be extended for the wedding of

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The

wedding falls on the same day as the

English and Scottish FA Cup finals,

Saturday May the 19th. Licensing

hours were previously extended for

the wedding of the Duke and Duchess

of Cambridge in 2011. And for the

Queen's 90th birthday in pretty 16.

We all like a good excuse for a

party.

If you think it's chilly

where you are this morning,

spare a thought for people in parts

of the US and Canada

who are currently experiencing

temperatures as low

as minus 29 degrees Celsius.

It's really affected

the way people live there.

Let's speak to Peter Franklin,

a cab driver in New York.

Peter, good morning. Thank you to

talking to us on the BBC.

Good

morning.

Just how cold is it there?

Send me a sweater, I'm freezing! It

is the middle of the 90, I'm

unbelievably cold. When you walk

outside in New York City right now

your eyes are cheering up. It is the

worst cold that I can really

remember. New York is a very

residual kind of place where people

work with this kind of problem and

all that, but baby, it's cold

outside!

Could be a song in there,

Peter. You obviously have the

heating on where you are, you look

reasonably warm. Just in terms of

the way people are going about their

everyday lives, how was it affect

him things?

Well, people who are

working on a salary, in other words

they are getting paid by the week or

the month or the year, they don't

have to worry about it. If they

can't get to work they can sit home

and count their money. People who

are really getting hurt in New York

City are the hourly workers, such as

a cab driver, for instance. It is if

you don't work, you don't make any

money. So the weather is a serious

thing. Ian cold is a serious thing.

But what is really the serious thing

about the whole thing is the

economic hurt. We have a lot of

situations where restaurants are not

even bothering to open up. Other

restaurants are giving what they are

calling toll discounts, in other

words, hey, if you come to our

restaurant tonight we will charge of

15% less. So it all comes down to

money. After all, the most important

thing in New York City, the most

important colour in New York City is

green.

There is a lot of talk in

this country about energy prices,

how much it costs to heat your home.

I mean, is that a concern for New

Yorkers? Jim Blair right now you

need to crank up the central heating

wherever you live?

No question about

it. Remember, most people in New

York are living in apartments, which

means you are at the mercy of a

landlord. And there are some

landlords who not in a hurry to fix

their furnaces in a week like this,

because every day that goes by the

furnaces not working, they are

saving fuel money. Now, that's not

all the landlords, but there are a

lot stop at last count there were

something like 15,000 or 30,000

people without any heat. I think

that was a low estimation. On the

other hand, if you live in a house

you are really getting hurt because

then you are paying for the fuel by

the gallon.

And for you, what does

today hold? Will you be getting out

to work today?

I'm broke!

Really!

Yeah. No, I mean, the fact of the

matter is, people think when it is

cold or rainy that is great for

driving a cab. The opposite is true.

When it is cold and rainy and

especially when it is as cold as it

is, people don't feel like going

out. They stay at home. Yesterday I

didn't drive and I'm not going to

drive today because it is not worth

the effort. So I'm getting a bit of

a vacation. I'm losing money on it,

but I tell you, Mother Nature is the

boss. But shows what's going on.

I

think the forecaster Seiyu should be

warming up slightly, or be less

cold, anyway. -- forecast is say it

should be. Thank you to taking the

time to talk to us. That was Peter,

a cab driver in New York City.

Mother Nature is the boss, and that

the truth? Do you know what, it was

cold enough outside yesterday

watching the kids Playford Hall. I

shouldn't complain, given those

temperatures in New York.

If you were out in the north-east

with temperatures like

If you were out in the north-east

with temperatures like that, you

could get frostbite in a couple of

minutes. It is hazardous. We have

cold, are nothing like that. A

frosty start for most of the UK.

Gorgeous winter sunshine. A blue hue

over much of the board. I will show

you the south-east in a second. The

final beast, windy. Less cold.

Outbreaks of rain on and off. -- far

north-east. England and Wales, cold.

In the south-east, a breeze. Cloud.

A few showers. Not as cold as

further north. Holding onto the

breeze further south. The southern

half of England and Wales, a spike

from the wind will make it cold.

Further north, not above freezing in

parts of Scotland after the cold

start. Dry and sunny in most places.

Another cold one. Central and

northern areas, widespread frost. In

the south, freezing. A repeat

performance on Monday. Windy in the

south. Cloud around. Creeping north

through the day. England and Wales,

by the end of the afternoon, cold

and grey. Further north and west,

sunny and a very cold day once

again. We start to see some changes

taking place. High pressure holding

on through Tuesday. This weather

front will make inroads during

Wednesday bringing outbreaks of rain

and slightly less cold air to our

shores. Tuesday, breezy. Cloud

across the board. Feeling cool to be

the odd shower. The odd bit of snow.

Across the west, a change. A messy

picture. At of rain at times.

Something more miles in the south.

8- 10 degrees. Chilly in the north

underneath the cloud and ring. Back

to you. -- rain.

underneath the cloud and ring. Back

to you. -- rain.

We'll be back with the headlines at

6:30. Now it's time for The Film

Review, with Jane Hill and Jason

Solomons.

Hello, and a very warm welcome

to The Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's

cinema releases I'm joined by Jason

Solomons.

What have you been

watching this week?

This week, we find out what happened

when Christopher Plummer replaced

Kevin Spacey in Ridley Scott's

All The Money In The World,

a kidnap drama set mainly in 1970s

Italy but also on a huge

estate in England.

And saddle up for the return

of the Wild West.

But is it the Western revived

or revised in Hostiles?

Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike,

take to the wide open spaces

for the violence of the Wild West.

And Ben Stiller checks

in for a midlife crisis

in Brad's Status, a comedy

about middle age and loss

and reflecting on your existence

while you take your son to colleges.

But let's start with

All The Money In The World.

I'm reeling from the fact that

Christopher Plummer is 88,

because he looks astonishing.

That is what you can do

with all the money in the world,

a lot of CGI!

John Paul Getty, who Kevin Spacey

was playing, and the film has been

'deSpaceyed' and replaced very

famously by Christopher Plummer,

the very feat of that is what marks

this film out as a footnote

in film history.

Extraordinary from Ridley Scott

to reshape his film around

a new performance in

Christopher Plummer.

We watch the film now,

especially in this climate,

trying to see the join,

to see if there was a ready break

glow of CGI inserts

from Christopher Plummer.

Can we spot the ghost

of Kevin Spacey - you can't at all.

The film is seamlessly done,

and the reshoots are beautifully

done and I think Christopher Plummer

is fabulous in the role of John Paul

Getty.

I think they would have

been a different...

Ridley Scott talked about how

Christopher Plummer has a twinkle

in his eye, whereas Kevin Spacey

has a more cold look,

more evil look, and I think that

gives the film a lot more heart.

We kind of pity John Paul Getty

for being the richest man,

but he is not just the richest man

but the richest man there has ever

been in the world.

And his grandson is kidnapped.

Yes, that's the essence.

It was a huge media case back

in the 1970s, it gripped the world,

as John Paul Getty refused to pay

the ransom, $17 million,

which back in 1973 was

quite a lot of money!

The point was that it became this

kind of case and he refused to budge

and I think we are supposed to see

John Paul Getty as a curmudgeonly

Scrooge type, but Christopher

Plummer gives it a real edge.

There is a fabulous speech about him

not trusting people,

only objects, of which he

amasses a huge amount.

They don't give him grief.

But the rest of the film

is going on, Michelle Williams,

Golden Globe nominated,

and we will find out the results

from LA on Monday morning.

The film has been nominated for,

I guess, the feat of Scott

getting it together.

Christopher Plummer is nominated

for that performance

and Michelle Williams is nominated

for the performance of Gayle,

the mum, and here she is wandering

into the media storm in Italy.

HUBBUB OF VOICES.

My son, Paul, must be very

frightened right now.

I know I'm frightened for him.

So, to the people who took him,

I don't care why you did this,

but I ask as a mother that you think

of your own children or the child

that you once were

and set my boy free.

Thank you.

Her son's disappeared.

A mother should cry for her son.

Enough.

Let the lady through.

Let's go!

HUBBUB OF VOICES.

Miss Getty, I'm Corvo.

I'm the lead investigator.

Would you please follow us.

Grazie.

HUBBUB OF VOICES.

Tell us more.

You said you had the money.

HUBBUB OF VOICES.

What about your son?

Miss Getty!

I'm a big fan of Michelle Williams,

and she has spoken quite nicely

about how she felt Ridley Scott

was trying to really show this

horrendous story of the kidnap of

a child through the mother 's eyes.

Does that work, does

it come through?

It is there.

She reminded me of Katherine

Hepburn with that accent.

The problem is I didn't know

who I should be watching.

Obviously the story

between Kevin Spacey

and Christopher Plummer deflected

a lot, and I was watching PLummer

and it's quite a hammy role,

as John Paul Getty.

She's doing something else.

And then you've got the son,

played by Charlie Plummer,

no relation, kidnapped and held

hostage in Calabria by the Italian

Mafia.

So you never quite know

what the centre of the story is.

For me, it became about Plummer,

and it kind of eclipses

Michelle Williams, who is very good

in the role, and the film looks good

in a classic Ridley

Scott smooth way.

It just didn't get to

the heart of the matter.

Your heart went out to what it must

be like to being the richest man

in the world.

It's something I've

been contemplating!

That's curious!

And rather enjoying.

Curious!

Is the next film going

to be quite brutal?

I have heard lots about it

but not seen it, Hostiles.

There is always room for one or two

Westerns per year now.

It used to be what Hollywood

and America was made on.

But now Hostiles, I think we can

tell there is irony in the title.

It's what American armies called,

what American cowboys and soldiers

used to call the Native Americans,

the Injuns they were known as.

We're not allowed to

call them that now.

When you have a film that revises

that, what do you do

about the brutality of the old West?

The way of the gun.

This film opens with Rosamund Pike

and her entire family wiped out

by Comanche Indians,

so you are already thinking,

I don't see where the balance

is with a new look at the West,

where we expect white America to be

slightly kind of apologetic

for the way Native

Americans were treated.

This film doesn't do that,

which is rather brave of it.

Christian Bale is the Army man

who has to escort a posse

of Cheyenne Indians back

to their natural homeland,

and they come under attack

from Comanche Indians.

It is about warring factions.

Nobody comes out of it

particularly well.

It is fairly brutal

and bleak landscape.

But I think that is

what it was like.

So that realism that is coming

into the Western, that revisionism

of what the hero is, Pat Garritt,

and going back to Billy The Kid

or Dances with Wolves

with Kevin Costner.

But it doesn't quite tell it

from the point of view

of the Indian.

Quite a tough watch?

It is.

And you don't get the payoff

that you usually get

with the hero emerging.

A bit more uplift in our third

choice today, I say with some hope?

It's a comedy, but a maudlin one,

about Ben Stiller experiencing

a midlife crisis.

I thought this was very funny,

directed by Mike Whyte,

who people might know

as the director of School Of Rock

for Jack Black.

This is about Ben Stiller

who has to take his son,

Troy, on a tour of colleges.

Americans do this, flying off to see

which colleges they want to get

into, one of which is Harvard.

Ben Stiller was never

able to get into it,

as Brad but his son Troy harbours

great ambitions of getting into it.

But it sparks in Brad,

a reminiscence about all of his

college chums and how much better

than him they have all done at life.

A-ha.

I couldn't help but wonder,

when was the last time Craig Fisher

flew in economy?

Probably not in decades.

Mr Fisher, can i offer

you a warm towel?

Yes, thank you.

I know Jason Hadfield

has his own private plane.

Never has to fly commercial at all.

Nick Pascale probably

flies private, too.

Must be nice to always

have the seas part for you.

Nothing out of reach.

Everything an option.

It must be like a drug, always

feeling important and special.

Better than, all the adventures,

the exotic destinations.

Oh, great.

So does everyone leave the cinema

feeling completely inadequate?

A first world problem.

They are.

He envies everyone, his son's

youth, his son's friends,

They are all perky and bright.

But then he confesses

to them and they say,

to pull yourself together, mate.

You are all right.

You live in Sacramento,

that's about the only thing

you have done well.

It's about assessing those things,

and I thought it was painfully smart

and painfully funny,

well done and very well performed

by Ben Stiller, Who I think we think

of as a cometic performer,

doing his Blue Steel lot.

We do, yes.

Best out?

Let's talk about something lovely.

Why not.

The best out.

You ask me this, I still have

to say Paddington 2.

It is not just the best out,

it is one of the best films of last

year and stretching into this year.

It is doing great box office.

It's still there, charming everyone.

And I think he is just adorable

in all his little outfits,

lost in the big city of London.

I mean, I've seen it twice.

I would happily go again.

If I was the richest man

in the world, I'd go and see

Paddington 2 everyday.

In your own private jet.

Surely you would have one

of those, Jason Solomons?

For anybody who wants to stay in?

I would get the DVD

of Limehouse Gollum,

it is out now.

This is a sort of East End set

Victorian melodrama style.

Starring the great Bill Nighy -

and a wonderful performance

from Olivia Cooke,

a young British actor.

Danny Mays is in there.

It is about murders going on.

A sort of Jack the Ripper style

thriller set in the East End

with all of the London fog

and people out and about like Oliver

creatures going out and going oom

pah-pah, but there is a grisly

murder at the bottom of it,

and it captures that Gothic horror

of London very, very well.

And as you have hinted award

season is nearly upon us,

so we'll be talking plenty

in the coming weeks.

Thank you very much

for now, Jason Solomons.

That is a taster of what

is on offer this week.

A quick reminder before we go,

all our film news and reviews

from across the BBC are online.

And all previous programmes

are on the iPlayer.

Enjoy your cinema going.

Goodbye.

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Roger Johnson and Rachel

Burden.

Good morning.

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

Theresa May will abandon plans set

out in her election manifesto

for MPs to get a vote on overturning

the fox hunting ban.

In an interview on the BBC's

Andrew Marr show she confirmed

she would go back on her pledge,

meaning MPs cannot vote on the issue

until 2022 - when the next general

election will be held.

The fox hunting ban was introduced

by the Labour government in 2004.

One of the clear messages we got was

a number of areas in which people

were concerned about what we were

proposing. So just as we have looked

at issues on school funding, tuition

fees, housing, we are taking forward

approaches in relation to that. On

this issue of foxhunting, what I can

say is that they will not be a vote

during this parliament. -- there

will.

The Prime Minister will carry out a

cabinet reshuffle tomorrow. It is

not yet known what changes she will

make, but it is reported up to six

ministers could either lose their

jobs or be moved. A Downing Street

source has described such stories as

pure speculation and guesswork.

Some of the UK's largest retailers

have voluntarily agreed to stop

selling acids and corrosive

substances to customers under

18 years old.

Thousands of independent hardware

shops are also expected

to follow suit.

Ministers hope the measure will help

stop the rise in attacks

until new laws are

considered by Parliament.

A growing number of men are being

targeted vice stalkers, according to

new research by Five Live

Investigates. Crime figures suggest

that thousands of men of England and

Wales experience talking over the

course of every year. According to

data from over 40 police forces,

1800 stalking offences have been

reported by men to officers in the

past three years.

Plans to create a new northern

forest on a belt spanning

Manchester, Leeds and Bradford have

been announced by the government.

New forests will be planted near

towns and river valleys liable to

flooding. Bob and trust is running

the project and will raise most of

the £500 million it is expect to

cross over the next five years.

The East Coast of North America

is shivering in a record-breaking

freeze.

It comes after a massive snow

storm that reached as far

south as Florida.

Temperatures there are forecast

to fall below minus 29 degrees

Celsius.

In parts of the US temperatures

are forecast to fall below

minus 29 degrees Celsius.

The extreme weather has so far been

linked to 19 deaths.

Now, time to sport, but if you are a

cricket fan you might not want to

hear it. I am wondering how soon

this fifth and final test match will

be over.

It could very well be

today. Let's not be too pessimistic.

We might actually run out of time to

be that pessimistic. You will notice

Australia celebrating behind you. If

you are an England cricket fan you

wake up every morning and check your

phone to see what the scorers.

You

don't need to check!

Right, you

consider how bad it might be, and

then in your wildest imaginations,

what might actually happen. It is

usually the latter that happens, and

not how bad it might be.

A familiar

story for England, I'm afraid. I

think we have been saying that since

November. They are looking forward

looks like an inevitable defeat in

the final Ashes test in Sydney, and

a 4-0 series loss as well. Trailing

by 303 runs ahead of their second

innings, they had only lost four

wickets. David Millar the most

recent to fall. Lbw to Nathan Lyon.

Captain Joe Root is still there. He

is battling, though. Literally. He

needed painkillers after being hit

on the glove. Earlier Australia

scored 639- seven, with both much

brother scoring a century. England

will not have taken 20 wickets in

any of the five Ashes test in the

series. England currently 80- four,

so still trailing by 223.

They're in the bottom three

of the Premier League,

and now on the end of the biggest

shock of the FA Cup third

round weekend so far.

So Mark Hughes has been sacked

as Stoke City manager.

They were beaten 2-1 at League Two

side Coventry on a day

where Manchester City

safely went through.

But Chelsea were taken

to a replay by Norwich City.

Joe Lynskey rounds up the action.

It has been a dark two decades for

Coventry City. Financial turmoil and

three relegations. But this was the

day the clouds parted for the sky

blues.

It is in! The shock is back

on!

A 2-1 win for the fourth tier

side, but Coventry's joy Braut

Marcuse' downfall. For Stoke City's

manager, this result meant the

inevitable.

In a Premier League side

goes out to a lower league side in

the third round, it is news. It is

not the news we wanted to create

prior to the game today, but it has

happened.

In football, moving on can

leave a bitter taste, but injured

Jamie Vardy got a warm welcome back

to Fleetwood. Lester brought in from

here for £1 million, and now he is

an international for England. But

the mill- nil draw never matched his

star quality. I contrast, style is

what defines Manchester City's

season. They are going to glory on

all fronts. Even when they fell

behind to Burnley, the comeback was

always coming.

Eau Claire! --

Aguero!. Two in two minutes.

A

4-star turnaround for Pep

Guardiola's side, the Giants nobly

wants to take on. There was merely

an upset at Bournemouth. Five years

ago Wigan won the cup, now they are

in the third tier. They led 2-0

against their Premier League

opponents before things looked away.

Warner fought back to force a

replay. But extra games at this time

of year can feel like a headache.

The linesman at Villa did recover,

and so did this underdog. From one

goal down, Peterborough fought back

to win 3-1. This was a January day

for the blues in the cup, and proved

the magic still matters.

For a full list of yesterday's

results head to the BBC

Sport website.

The FA Cup third round continues

today with eight teams in action.

The first tie of the day sees

Championship side Leeds United

travel to League Two Newport County.

It's the first time the two sides

have met in the FA Cup since 1949,

when Newport won 3-1 at Elland Road.

Elsewhere, there are three

Premier League teams in action.

West Ham are away at Shrewbury Town,

where David Moyes will be hoping

to avoid a repeat of his 2003

defeat as Everton manager.

Tottenham host AFC Wimbledon

and holders Arsenal are away

to Nottingham Forest.

Philippe Coutinho will become one

of the most expensive footballers

in history after Barcelona agreed

to pay up to £142 million.

for the Liverpool forward.

The Brazilian has spent four

and a half years at Anfield

and Liverpool have eventually

decided to do the deal after turning

down three bids for him

from Barcelona in the summer.

The initial payment will be £105

million, a British record.

With the rest in add-ons.

He's agreed a 5.5-year

deal at the Camp Nou.

Northampton ended their run of seven

consecutive Premiership defeats

with a 22-19 win over Gloucester

at Franklin's Gardens yesterday.

The visitors led for

much of the match.

But a final-minute penalty try

gave Saints their first

win since September.

Gloucester earnt a losing bonus

point, with tries for James Hanson

and John Afoa in addition

to their own penalty try.

Elsewhere, Leicester came

from behind to beat London Irish,

and Sale narrowly got

past Harlequins.

Ospreys won the Welsh derby

in the Pro14, beating Cardiff Blues

by a single point.

It turned on this piece of quick

thinking from Wales' fly half

Dan Biggar, who set up what proved

to be the winning score for Ospreys,

finished off by Justin Tipuric.

The Blues attempted to mount a late

comeback, but but the home side held

on to win 29-28 in Swansea.

Cardiff are still without a win

there in 12 years.

Ulster slumped to a 38-7 defeat

against Leinster in Dublin,

Jordan Larmour and Fergus McFadden

scored two tries apiece.

And Jonny Sexton also

touched down with this try.

The victory leaves Leinster

within two points of leaders

Scarlets in Conference B

of the Pro 14.

Elsewhere Glasgow Warriors

maintained their spot at the top

of Conference A.

They beat Zebre.

16-year-old James Bowen has become

the youngest jockey to win

the Welsh Grand National.

Fittingly he was on the 16-1

shot Raz de Maree.

Taking the lead two fences from home

and powering to victory.

The jockey might be young,

but at 13, the horse is the oldest

to win the race in modern times.

Just three years between the two,

which is rather astounding.

This is

so stupid, but I was hope in it

might show pictures of the game

yesterday, I was there and I like to

see myself on TV! That would be

really exciting.

Do you know for a

fact that the cameras picked you

out?

No, I was just hoping. My

goodness.

Cavill. There is a little

thing underneath that shows you as

well.

Hopefully England will still

be playing cricket next time we see

you.

No guarantee of that, that's

for sure.

The red carpet is being rolled out,

the champagne is on ice

and the statuettes are about to be

handed over, but the start

of the 2018 Hollywood awards season

is expected to get off to an unusual

start at the Golden Globes tonight.

Famous faces have vowed to wear

all-black in solidarity

against sexism and harrassment,

prompted by a series of recent abuse

allegations in the industry.

We'll speak to one of the founding

members of the 'Time's Up' campaign

in a moment, but first

here's our North America

Correspondent James

Cook who's in LA.

In Hollywood, they are getting ready

to put their best foot forward. At

this year's award season, there may

be more protest than parties. The

dirty secrets of the movie business

have been exposed in recent months

and now scores of stars say they

will wear black to the Golden Globes

to promote a campaign called Time's

Up.

I never thought it would happen

in my lifetime. Truly I didn't. I

think tomorrow, people will be in

black, that I don't think it will be

funereal, I think it will be a

celebration of all of us saying, it

is time to deal with this. It is

time to deal with this and not put

up at it any more.

We are all

wearing black to stand in

solidarity, not just the women and

what is happening in Hollywood in

this industry, but to represent and

stand for all women across all

industries and to support them. And

also to support equality in all its

forms.

I've suffered it all and

worse. By the time I got to the

music is the site just wasn't having

it. -- music business. I didn't have

to deal with that. That I feel with

those women, because they have

secrets and I know about secrets,

carrying secrets. And now their

secrets are exposed and they are

being set free, so I'm happy to

them.

The cleansing has already

begun. Kevin Spacey, facing multiple

allegations of sexual assault, was

cut out of this film just weeks

before its release. Christopher

Plummer took over the role of oil

tycoon J Paul Getty. Co-star

Michelle Williams told me she reshot

her scenes for free.

These films,

because they are larger than life,

they glorify people. I couldn't bear

the thought of being in a movie that

glorified somebody who had her

people. In these ways. -- who had

hurt people. I didn't want anything

to do with it. I wouldn't have gone

to promote it, I wouldn't have

talked about it, because I would

have felt like it was not the right

thing to do for those people who

have been hurt, they don't need to

be re- traumatised by seeing this

movie come out and seeing big

posters and flashy appetisers. It is

not appropriate. So I didn't want

any part of it.

Other films tipped

for awards include Via Shape of

Water, a sci-fi fantasy starring

Brits Sally Hawkins, leading to

field with seven nominations.

Why

did you put up these billboards?

Humour and heartbreak earned Three

Billboards outside Ed Ling, Neziri

six nods. The tender love story

called me by your name is also in

the running. So too is Via Posts,

Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep

showcasing the power of the press.

It is very much a story for the

times. While Hollywood is gathering

to pat itself on the back as usual,

everything has changed this year.

Just a few months ago the

entertainment industry was thrown

into turmoil and everybody here is

only just beginning to work out what

that means for the future.

Actor Amber Tambyln

from the Time's Up campaign joins us

now from New York.

Many thanks for your time this

morning. How effective do you think

it will be FAQ 100 actors turn up on

the red carpet wearing black Austin

marque -- a few hundred actors.

That

is a misconception. It is more than

a few hundred actresses. There will

be many, many people wearing black

from across industry lines he will

appear on the carpet today. This is

a huge movement. It is nationwide.

It is across industries. Many people

co-ordinated, wearing something that

is supposed to symbolise a large

cultural shift and change in our

country. So it is just going to be

people on the red carpet, we have

asked people to actually join us in

wearing black and standing with --

standing in solidarity with women on

the carpet and expressing to them

why they feel this is a reset, that

lack symbolises, we are starting

over and taking control of our own

power. -- Black symbolises.

I hear

what you are saying, but I suppose

what I mean really is, what does a

well-paid Hollywood actress like

Reese Witherspoon or Meryl Streep

really know about the day-to-day

harassment that somebody working in

catering or the agricultural

industry might face?

So, sexual

harassment, sexual assault, the

misappropriation of power, the power

dynamic that is so problematic in

our country and so off, you know, it

sees no colour, it sees no age, it

sees no social discrepancy. It is a

cross for everybody, every woman.

Every woman has experienced some

form of harassment or power dynamic

shift. It is not just women like

Meryl Streep. It is them, it is

women who are veterinarians or

nurses or teachers or actresses or

producers. It is all women, we have

all experienced it. My mother is a

school teacher and she has

experienced it. I am sure everybody

in the UK, everybody in the whole

world. This isn't just about... You

know, it you think of these

actresses and this moment in this

movement as the face of it, at that

doesn't mean we are necessarily all

of it or at -- or that we are

claiming all of it. All we want to

do is support and rise up and puts a

safety nets under women who have

shared their stories and come

forward and done the hard work so

far.

You talk about that safety net.

There is a practical mission in this

campaign, isn't there? To support

women and indeed men who have in

victims of sexual harassment, to

fight in any legal cases they might

want to bring?

Yeah, so, several

months ago, the women of the

farmworkers' union here in the US,

over 700,000 of them signed a letter

of solidarity, standing with the

women of the entertainment business.

It was a really beautiful letter and

we decided to craft something that

was a response letter to them. But

it isn't just a response saying that

we stand in solidarity with them. It

is also a call to arms. It is also

saying, we will not tolerate this

behaviour any more. This is not just

about sexual harassment, sexual

assault. This is also about

representation in all businesses and

the fact that women are not

represented in positions of power in

a lot of different industries in the

United States. So with that letter,

with that response letter, we found

that -- we founded the Time's Up

legal defence fund, which at this

point has raised over $15 million.

It is our hope that defence fund

will continue to get bigger and we

will have many more events coming up

this year and in the coming years to

support that. And the funds of that

legal defence fund go to supporting

the legal fees of people who have

been sexually harassed or assaulted

in the workplace.

Thank you very

much for your time today, we really

appreciated.

Thank you so much.

It is very cold in the US. Not as

cold here, but very cold.

It is very cold in the US. Not as

cold here, but very cold. Watch out

for ice as well. It will be a very

sunny one for the majority of the

country. Cloud in the south-east.

The odd shower. Cloud in the

Northern Isles, especially Shetland.

Wind and outbreaks of rain at times.

Five Celsius. Cold and frosty in

Northern Ireland. Cold for the whole

day. At least sunshine. The

south-east corner, breezy. A bit

more cloud. Not as cold. With the

wind, it will feel really raw on the

south coast. The wind will be

strong. Elsewhere, light winds. In

the sunshine, it will be nice,

despite temperatures in Glasgow not

getting above freezing to be further

south, 5-6. High pressure is still

with us this evening and overnight.

A similar picture to last night.

Central and northern areas seeing

the lowest temperatures. The south,

more cloud around, even as far as

the West Country and south Wales.

Monday, cold and frosty. Further

south, breezy, cloudier. That will

go further north through the day.

The odd light snow and drizzle in

that cloud as it goes north. For the

north and west of the country, it

should be dry but cold. The weather

front will go to the west through

Wednesday. We pick up a southerly

wind. More cloud is brought to more

areas. Sunshine in western Scotland.

Quite cold because of the strength

of the wind. Then this weather front

will arrive. A messy picture. More

miles across the south. Thank you.

will arrive. A messy picture. More

miles across the south. Thank you.

We have seen some messy weather.

We'll be back with the headlines at

7am. Now, it's time for Click.

Welcome.

Hello, welcome.

Welcome, how are you?

Hello...?

Welcome, welcome...

Second script - "How are you?

How are you?"

Hello, everybody!

I am literally being built

from the skin out, currently,

by these two lovely ladies

who are going to try to make

me look different...

All right, then.

We are all good to go,

Brendan, you happy?

So what we're going to do

is go to silence, please,

and go to black.

Lose the house lights.

VT10 next.

ANNOUNCER:

This is BBC Click Live.

Please welcome your

host, Spencer Kelly!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Erm...right!

There.

Hello!

Welcome.

My own floor!

Welcome to Click Live!

And have we got a show for you...!

Have we got a show for them?

We have, we're ready to go.

LAUGHTER We have some really amazing

things for you tonight.

We've got some things that noise,

we've got some things that fly,

we have some things

for you to taste.

Some of it won't work, OK?

LAUGHTER Bear with us,

because hopefully the stuff that

does work - fingers crossed,

and a lot of it has in rehearsals -

it is a world-first,

and you won't see this anywhere

else, and no-one has

seen this before you.

Before any of that, I have

to introduce you to the other half

of the show.

Please welcome to the

stage Kate Russell.

APPLAUSE Brilliant, isn't it?

When they said I'd have my name

in lights, I was expecting more

Broadway than boardwalk -

but it's a start!

It's going to be a really,

really crammed show.

And I don't want you getting too

comfortable, because there's a lot

of audience participation.

So I hope you're ready to take part.

Do you want to see some tech?

CROWD:

Yes!

Good stuff.

I don't believe you.

Do you want to see some tech?

CROWD:

Yes!

I think so.

All right, so first of all,

we need you to settle down,

because our first guest

tonight is very mysterious.

His name is Psychic Joe,

and I'm told things

are about to get very strange...

EERIE MUSIC PLAYING Hello.

Computers are a wonderful thing,

but we're going to put them to one

side just for the moment.

I'd like to introduce

you to the power of your own mind.

Breathe slowly and gently,

and I'll discover more about you,

with just a candle.

Now, I sometimes get some powers

and signals through,

and sometimes I get things wrong.

But most of the time, it's right.

So stay with me.

I might just get pieces

of information that come...

I'm starting with a "G".

Let me just put this

down for a moment.

There's a "G" - so I'm

going to start to pull something out

of the audience.

Hopefully it's one of you.

I'm getting a "G".

Let's start with "G" - Gareth?

I think this is him.

Because those are two

different sites.

Hello, Gareth.

How are you?

We have Joe, and he's

going to identify some people

in the audience, and he's

going to pretend to read their mind

by telling them things about them,

by reading information from them.

It's actually us researching these

people online and feeding that

to him through a hidden earpiece.

Les?

Les...?

It could have been a man,

but I won't make wild assertions.

Is there a Les?

Leslie?

Welcome to the show.

Glad you've got

a microphone with you now.

So we're researching

some of the people in

the audience right now.

The gentleman who's just sat

down in front of us -

I've just found the address details

of somebody who sat down

at the front with her

partner as well.

So we're researching as much

as we can about the people that

are in front of us.

Do you have children

called Jack and Sasha?

Um...we have cats

called Jack and Sasha.

Oh, it's close!

It's close, isn't it?

I've set up a free Wi-Fi network.

Most people quite happily

click "free Wi-Fi".

It says please type

in their name, click "connect",

and that is how we start.

We then have their name.

It's the first thing to work from.

Fortunately, as well,

because it's quite a big event,

people will like the Facebook page.

People will say, "I'm at BBC Click."

We can see that publicly and openly.

Is this legal?

Completely legal, yes.

That's a question

we get asked a lot.

We're just looking at

information people have

made available themselves.

But congratulations on your

four-year anniversary.

A round of applause please.

APPLAUSE

There's two main lessons -

be careful what you're

signing up for.

The biggest thing that's helping us

the most right now -

people's social media profiles

are open and public.

We're not saying not to use it, just

check that your profile is private.

I'm a complete stranger

to everybody in this audience,

but so far I've been able to go

onto all of their profiles and look

at where they were born,

their pictures, their statuses.

As a total stranger,

you probably don't want me

reading that information.

So just - we're not

saying don't use it -

just make it private

so only your friends can see.

That would protect you from all

of the things we've found out

so far, actually.

We listen to radio, to TV, to music,

to podcasts, using speakers.

Big speakers in your house and small

speakers that you wear in your ears

or that are built

into your smartphones.

So I'm just choosing the perfect bit

of coffee for the levitation.

It has to be both kind of small,

but also regular, and I don't think

they normally make coffee beans

with levitation in mind.

One of the things that

Steve has been working

on is ultrasounds, OK?

And we've got a few

ultrasound demos here.

So I'll tell you what -

rather than explain more about it,

shall we, uh...just give it a whirl?

So I'll tell you what -

who's getting something there?

Raise your hand if you can hear

this, then drop your hand as soon

as you can't hear it again.

So this is unusual for a speaker,

because usually when you switch

a speaker on, everyone can hear it.

Right now, we're getting

a really narrow beam.

Really focused beam of sound.

Imagine this is a lot

like a flashlight.

Imagine I'm pointing

a torch around the room.

You'd only see certain parts of it.

This is the same idea,

except with sound.

So we're focusing the sound

and we can focus all that energy,

all that sound energy,

in a specific place.

Wow!

This is the weirdest and slowest

and most continuous Mexican wave

I've ever seen...

I have no idea what you're hearing,

because he's never pointed it

in my direction.

BEEPING Whoa!

Seriously?

Sorry, it's quite

unpleasant, isn't it?

It can make normal sounds as well.

So ultrasound is really

high-frequency sound,

and then you're tying

other stuff into that,

which you're then

sending around the room?

So ultrasound is out

of the range of human hearing,

is pretty much the definition.

We can hear up to 20,000

hertz, and anything

above that is ultrasound.

We can't hear ultrasound,

but this is an ultrasound wave

that's been combined or modulated

with an audible signal.

I tell you what - this is not

just the only ultrasound

weirdness we've got.

It gets even weirder.

Pop that down, for goodness's sake.

This looks like it's landed

from another planet.

This is incredible.

Stephen, for the second time

tonight, what on earth is going on?

So, if we can in here,

you can see there's quite a regular

pattern on some of these.

I can't get too close because it

disrupts the sound field.

But maybe you can see

there's a few balls -

a bit of a gap.

So how are you using ultrasound

to actually make stuff levitate?

Well, these speakers are producing

a big ultrasound signal,

that's making a standing wave.

Oh, wow!

Well, that's fantastic.

Would you mix us one?

We rehearsed that, could you tell?

What is this, Steve?

We've got a lovely, lovely

delight for you today.

It's a single grain of coffee

with a, uh...drop of milk,

all levitating in

the middle of the air.

It's a latte.

LAUGHTER

You have to

have it in, though.

You can't have it

to go, unfortunately.

Right, so I'm going to try this.

My tongue's not long enough...

Really slowly...

LAUGHTER Oh!

You got it!

APPLAUSE That's really...coffee-y.

That's like really, really strong.

Is that supposed to be that strong?

Yes, yeah.

That's what we've found.

Sugar tastes sweeter,

and coffee's bitter.

Fantastic.

Sri, Steve, thank you very much.

A round of applause for Sri,

Steve and the ultrasound latte!

APPLAUSE There were so many amazing

demos and displays in the show

that we just can't fit

it into this program.

Here's a look at some

of the other highlights

from our evening of delight.

We transformed our tech-loving

audience into musicians,

as Kate and I conducted the biggest

ever micro:bit processor orchestra.

Let's have some more micro:bits

over here in the air.

OK, let's have a few at the back...

Hold those up.

Oh, great.

I can see them all in the sky.

We are still waiting

on the Guinness Book of Records

to get back to us, though.

We explored the potential of AR,

with our lucky audience members left

cowering as a full-scale aircraft

suddenly appeared over their heads.

Hello, world!

300,000 people joined us

on Facebook Live during the evening

as we asked them whether

robots should feel pain.

Edward Nemil, thank you for this

question on Facebook: "Sacrificing

a robot for the greater

good might be necessary.

Why would you want it to feel pain?"

If we're going to keep having

a servant class of robots,

then we shouldn't go

down that route.

But the aims of increasing

intelligence may make that

impossible.

We watched drones that study

the landscape and drones that dive,

as we looked at how

they could help in the future.

It's been absolutely amazing.

Have you had a good time?

CROWD: Yes!

Thank you very much for watching,

and we will see you soon.

Bye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Cut it.

Well done, well done, well done.

Hello this is Breakfast,

with Roger Johnson and Rachel

Burden.

Plans to give MPs a vote on fox

hunting are abandoned by the Prime

Minister.

The Conservatives had promised

an option on ending the ban

on hunting with dogs.

Now Teresa May says it won't happen

before the next election.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Theresa May will abandon plans

for MPs to get a vote on fox hunting

before 2022, when the next general

election is due to be held.

In an interview on the BBC's

Andrew Marr show, Mrs May confirmed

she would be going back

on the pledge she made

in last year's manifesto.

Plans are announced to plant

a new Northern Forest stretching

from Liverpool to Hull.

And coming up in sport,

you're waking up to the words

"England" and "collapse"

again, I'm afraid.

It's day four in Sydney and needing

303 just to make Australia bat

again, England have lost

four wickets already -

and they're heading

for a 4-0 series defeat.

Hollywood stars prepare to use

tonight's Golden Globe awards

to highlight the campaign

against sexism and harassment.

And Stav has the weather.

Good morning. It is very cold, but a

lovely, sunny Sunday for most of us.

It will stay cold into the start of

next week and then we will see

changes. Join me later for a full

weather forecast.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Theresa May will abandon plans

for MPs to get a vote on fox hunting

before 2022, when the next general

election is due to be held.

In an interview on the BBC's

Andrew Marr show, Mrs May confirmed

she would be going back
