0:00:06 > 0:00:10Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Theresa May's reshuffle doesn't quite go to plan,

0:00:12 > 0:00:15as the Health Secretary resists a move and the Education Secretary

0:00:15 > 0:00:19quits.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Justine Greening refused the offer of a new job.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24The Prime Minister will announce more junior

0:00:24 > 0:00:43appointments later today.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Good morning, it is Tuesday 9 January.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Also this morning: North Korea agrees to send a team

0:00:47 > 0:00:51to the Winter Olympics in the South, after the first high-level talks

0:00:51 > 0:00:52for more than two years.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Smacking children could be banned in Wales.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58The Welsh Government has launched a consultation on the plans.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Retailers haven't had the Christmas they were hoping for,

0:01:00 > 0:01:03with the weakest growth in non-food sales since records began.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm looking at who were the winners and losers.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08In sport: A first for English football.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11The video assistant referee system is used as Brighton beat

0:01:11 > 0:01:19Crystal Palace 2-1 in the FA Cup third round.

0:01:19 > 0:01:26I am in Las Vegas for the greatest gadget show on Earth. There are

0:01:26 > 0:01:30humanoid robots, self driving taxis. There is even a suitcase which

0:01:30 > 0:01:31follows you around the airport.

0:01:31 > 0:01:36And Carol has the weather.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41Good morning. It is not as exciting as that. Today what we have is a

0:01:41 > 0:01:45fairly cloudy, grey day ahead. Some brightness and parts of the west,

0:01:45 > 0:01:49and later the wind will strengthen and we will see some rain arrive.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Further details in 15 minutes.

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Good morning.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53First, our main story: The Education Secretary,

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Justine Greening, has resigned from the Government after refusing

0:01:56 > 0:01:59a job as Work and Pensions Secretary in Theresa May's Cabinet reshuffle.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02It is also understood that Jeremy Hunt was asked to become

0:02:02 > 0:02:04business secretary, but persuaded the Prime Minister to keep him

0:02:04 > 0:02:06at the Department of Health.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Theresa May is expected to make more changes to her Cabinet later today.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Leila Nathoo reports.

0:02:11 > 0:02:19Are you confident of staying in Government?

0:02:19 > 0:02:26After a day of few surprises, it was Education Secretary

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Justine Greening who threw the biggest spanner in the works

0:02:29 > 0:02:32of Theresa May's cautious plans, emerging from Downing Street

0:02:32 > 0:02:35having quit the Government, rather than move to take charge

0:02:35 > 0:02:37of welfare, as she was asked to do.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39And it is understood the Health Secretary,

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Jeremy Hunt, who was also in line for a move, this time to business,

0:02:43 > 0:02:45successfully argued to stay where he was.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48A reshuffle designed to breathe new life into the Government did see

0:02:48 > 0:02:50a few switch jobs, a handful promoted.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52But there was no movement in the top positions,

0:02:52 > 0:02:56and the Cabinet make-up is largely unchanged.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Though there was a shakeup of staff in charge of running

0:02:59 > 0:03:01the Conservative Party, to try to broaden its appeal

0:03:01 > 0:03:04and revive the Tory electoral machine.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Now, on day two of the reshuffle, Theresa May's focus turns

0:03:07 > 0:03:09to the junior ministerial roles.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Number Ten says the Prime Minister will promote young talent

0:03:11 > 0:03:12from the backbenches.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17Downing Street is promising the new ministerial team will be

0:03:17 > 0:03:20more diverse, with more women and MPs from minority backgrounds,

0:03:20 > 0:03:21so it better reflects the country.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth is in Westminster this

0:03:24 > 0:03:30morning.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33These were long discussions last night, and they are still not over.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38What do you make of what she has been able to do and not able to do?

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Well, this was never meant to be some grand, dramatic transformation

0:03:42 > 0:03:47of the Cabinet. There was never any expectation that the big beasts, the

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Foreign Secretary, the Chancellor or the Home Secretary, would be moved.

0:03:50 > 0:03:56But this was meant to be reset moment and in two really. The first,

0:03:56 > 0:03:59a chance for Theresa May to put the troubles of the last 12 months

0:03:59 > 0:04:03behind her, come back into the new Year, stamping her authority and her

0:04:03 > 0:04:07grip on government. And to try and make the Conservative Party more

0:04:07 > 0:04:11representative. It is pretty clear that it didn't go exactly to plan.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Justine Greening leaving the government and Jeremy Hunt

0:04:14 > 0:04:18apparently refusing to move. Now, Theresa May will not be the first or

0:04:18 > 0:04:22last prime minister not to conduct a reshuffle in exactly the way she had

0:04:22 > 0:04:26hoped. But rather than tighten her grip on the government, it shows she

0:04:26 > 0:04:30is still constrained. And at the end of the day, the Cabinet doesn't

0:04:30 > 0:04:35really look that different. As my colleague was saying, she was

0:04:35 > 0:04:39expecting some more junior appointments today, designed to be

0:04:39 > 0:04:42more diverse and more reflective of the country. Downing Street will be

0:04:42 > 0:04:44hoping today goes more smoothly.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47And at 7:10am we will be talking to the new Chairman

0:04:47 > 0:04:49of the Conservative Party, Brandon Lewis.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51South Korea has proposed holding reunions during next month's

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Winter Olympics for families divided by the Korean War.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56North and South are holding their first official talks in more

0:04:56 > 0:04:57than two years.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Separated families are one of the most emotive legacies

0:05:00 > 0:05:02of the conflict, which began in 1950.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05And, in the next half-hour, we will be talking to our news

0:05:05 > 0:05:15reporter in Seoul about the significance of the talks.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Parents in Wales could be banned from smacking their children,

0:05:18 > 0:05:18under new plans.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21The Welsh Government is consulting on the changes,

0:05:21 > 0:05:24and people will be given 12 weeks to make their views known.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Scotland is in the process of introducing a similar ban.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Dan Johnson reports.

0:05:30 > 0:05:37If it goes ahead, Wales would become the second part of the UK to

0:05:37 > 0:05:40effectively banned smacking, by removing the defence of reasonable

0:05:40 > 0:05:45punishment. After a decision to change the law in Scotland last

0:05:45 > 0:05:48year, the government in Wales believes it is now long overdue. And

0:05:48 > 0:05:52that many more parents now will say that the approach to positive

0:05:52 > 0:05:55parenting, not using physical punishment, is what they do as a

0:05:55 > 0:05:59matter of course. But I think it will make that the absolute norm

0:05:59 > 0:06:02right across society, to show that physical punishment of children is

0:06:02 > 0:06:06not only not necessary, but shouldn't be allowed. So there will

0:06:06 > 0:06:10be a 12 week consultation for people across Wales to have their say.No,

0:06:10 > 0:06:14I don't think it is appropriate to smack children, because I don't

0:06:14 > 0:06:18think it is productive, really. I don't think that stops them from

0:06:18 > 0:06:22their having a certain way.A little tap like that on the hand I don't

0:06:22 > 0:06:29think is terrible, but no, not... Not, you no, a big whack.If you are

0:06:29 > 0:06:34teaching them not to be violent or hit people, you shouldn't it them. I

0:06:34 > 0:06:38guess, hypocritical.A move to ban smacking it already has the support

0:06:38 > 0:06:45of the children's commissioner in Wales, and charities like the NSPCC.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48High street shops suffered a big fall in sales in the run-up

0:06:48 > 0:06:50to Christmas, although retailers fared much better online.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Steph is here to tell us more.

0:06:52 > 0:06:58Steph, how bad was it?

0:06:58 > 0:07:02It is really interesting, this, because when you actually look at

0:07:02 > 0:07:06the figures, it looks like we have been spending a lot more money on

0:07:06 > 0:07:10food, and it is not because we have been buying a lot more food but

0:07:10 > 0:07:14because it has cost a lot more money. That has meant because we

0:07:14 > 0:07:18spent more on the rising cost of food we have had less money to spend

0:07:18 > 0:07:22on the things we normally buy at Christmas. So we might not spend as

0:07:22 > 0:07:25much on presents this year, or maybe clothes for parties, that kind of

0:07:25 > 0:07:28thing. Which means the supermarkets have done quite well, but the

0:07:28 > 0:07:33clothes retailers, the non-food retailers, the likes of Debenhams,

0:07:33 > 0:07:42have really been hit by this. So if you look at some of the figures on

0:07:42 > 0:07:46it, yesterday Mothercare saw their shares fall to a record low, and

0:07:46 > 0:07:50that is because they have had to put out another warning. Similarly,

0:07:50 > 0:07:55Debenhams has seen their share price fall because of it as well. And it

0:07:55 > 0:07:59is because the businesses with a big online presence tend to do better

0:07:59 > 0:08:02than those which don't, and the big department stores like Debenhams,

0:08:02 > 0:08:06which are on high streets, which have struggled, have seen their

0:08:06 > 0:08:10sales be hit as well. But looking at the figures, food sales were up by

0:08:10 > 0:08:16just over 4% but non-food sales were down by nearly 4%. So it shows that

0:08:16 > 0:08:21that has really impacted the fact that our food has cost a lot more,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24meaning we don't have as much money for everything else.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Five men and a woman have been charged with being members

0:08:27 > 0:08:29of the banned neo-Nazi group National Action.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31They will appear before Westminster Magistrates later today.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33National Action became the first far-right group to be banned

0:08:33 > 0:08:36in the UK, in December 2016, after the Home Secretary,

0:08:36 > 0:08:44Amber Rudd, said it was promoting violence and acts of terrorism.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47A UK-wide ban on the manufacturing of cosmetics and care products

0:08:47 > 0:08:49containing microbeads has come into force today,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52in an attempt to cut down on the amount of plastic

0:08:52 > 0:08:53in our oceans.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56The beads that are used in hundreds of facewashes and shower gels

0:08:56 > 0:08:59are often ingested by sea animals, and even end up entering

0:08:59 > 0:09:00our food chain.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04It will be followed by a wider ban on the sale of products containing

0:09:04 > 0:09:09microbeads later in the year.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12The warning is very clear - never work in television

0:09:12 > 0:09:13with children and animals.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15But this reporter clearly hasn't heard the advice.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Alex Dunlop was filming a report at Banham Zoo, in Norfolk.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21But, as he attempted to tell the story, the zoo's lemurs decided

0:09:21 > 0:09:36that this was their moment of fame.

0:09:36 > 0:09:41They are everywhere!I think they think he is a tree, don't they?

0:09:41 > 0:09:46Maybe it is the colour of his jumper, his jumper is a bit lemur

0:09:46 > 0:09:54like, isn't it? And he remained composed. I think he was all right

0:09:54 > 0:09:59in the end. Otherwise we wouldn't have shown it. And we were talking

0:09:59 > 0:10:04yesterday about video assistant refereeing.We finally got a phrase

0:10:04 > 0:10:10right.And the call came through.It was in place. They did consult the

0:10:10 > 0:10:15video assistant referee, but they never actually reviewed it. It was

0:10:15 > 0:10:21in controversial at all, really? Palace fans are up in arms about why

0:10:21 > 0:10:26have the review and not properly use it? There are all kinds of teachers

0:10:26 > 0:10:30on the back pages. Football fans like to have their say about whether

0:10:30 > 0:10:34the referee has got things right -- all kinds of pictures. One of the

0:10:34 > 0:10:42criticisms of VAR is it made dumb the game down, as there is no debate

0:10:42 > 0:10:47about the referee's decision. But still debate about the VAR referee's

0:10:47 > 0:10:48decision.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51An English football first last night - the video assistant referee system

0:10:51 > 0:10:55was in action as Brighton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the FA

0:10:55 > 0:10:55Cup third round.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Glenn Murray scored a late winner for Brighton.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Referee Andre Marriner did consult with the video referee team,

0:11:00 > 0:11:03to see if Murray had handled the ball over the line,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05but concluded that he hadn't.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07And Brighton will face Middlesbrough in the fourth round.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11The pick of the ties sees League two Yeovil Town welcome 12-time winners

0:11:11 > 0:11:12Manchester United.

0:11:12 > 0:11:17The full draw is on the BBC Sport website.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18Liverpool fans, look away now.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Philippe Coutinho completed his record-breaking

0:11:19 > 0:11:22transfer to Barcelona.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25He did thank his former side, though, saying he would always have

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Liverpool in his heart.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Andy Murray hopes to be playing again by the summer,

0:11:30 > 0:11:31after hip surgery in Melbourne.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34He posted this on social media, saying he is looking forward

0:11:34 > 0:11:35to starting rehab.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38The former world number one has not played competitively

0:11:38 > 0:11:45since he was knocked out of Wimbledon last July.

0:11:45 > 0:11:50He is hoping to be back for the grasscourt season, which is

0:11:50 > 0:11:56obviously queens, Wimbledon again. So looking at about June. The

0:11:56 > 0:12:00surgery seems to have gone well, and the surgeon seems optimistic about

0:12:00 > 0:12:07his chances.He was wobbling around at Wimbledon, is it part of the same

0:12:07 > 0:12:11problem?Yes, it is his right hip he had an operation on. He had an

0:12:11 > 0:12:16operation at the end of last year on his growing, but this is the major

0:12:16 > 0:12:20operation he has been trying to avoid. He has gone for it and so he

0:12:20 > 0:12:24will have to take some time off. He says he wants to play in front of

0:12:24 > 0:12:29his daughter.He has been quite honest, hasn't he, about how he

0:12:29 > 0:12:34feels on how incredibly frustrating it is.It must be, mustn't it?

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Especially since all of Britain's hopes are pinned on Andy Murray, and

0:12:38 > 0:12:42we don't have anyone representing Great Britain at the Australian

0:12:42 > 0:12:47Open, or at the French.Back for the grass season.Fingers crossed.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51The main stories this morning: The Education Secretary,

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Justine Greening, has resigned from the Government,

0:12:53 > 0:12:56after refusing a job as Work and Pensions Secretary

0:12:56 > 0:12:57in Theresa May's Cabinet reshuffle.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59South Korea has proposed holding reunions during next month's

0:12:59 > 0:13:07Winter Olympics for families divided by the Korean War.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13It was really cold yesterday, I

0:13:13 > 0:13:15It was really cold yesterday, I don't know what is going to be like

0:13:15 > 0:13:21today.Well, you quite right. It was cold yesterday. Today it will be

0:13:21 > 0:13:25cold, but not as cold for most of us as it was yesterday. There is going

0:13:25 > 0:13:30to be a lot of cloud around. Quite a grey day for most of the UK. One or

0:13:30 > 0:13:34two exceptions to that, Northern Ireland is not one of them. Quite a

0:13:34 > 0:13:37lot of cloud to start the day, but north-west Scotland is. Cold enough

0:13:37 > 0:13:42for a touch of frost. Maybe some ice on untreated surfaces as well. For

0:13:42 > 0:13:47the rest of Scotland it is a cloudy, grey start as it is across most of

0:13:47 > 0:13:50northern England. The north-west will see some brighter skies later

0:13:50 > 0:13:54on, especially around Cumbria and Carlisle. South of that we have

0:13:54 > 0:13:58cloud here and there. It will be thick enough for the odd spot of

0:13:58 > 0:14:02drizzle. Across southern counties are very similar story. It is a

0:14:02 > 0:14:08cloudy, grey start to the day. And as we move up into Wales, a lot of

0:14:08 > 0:14:11cloud around first thing. Murky conditions. Later Richard Wright and

0:14:11 > 0:14:16up across the north-west of Wales. The favourite places for some

0:14:16 > 0:14:19brightness or some sunshine, north-west Scotland, parts of

0:14:19 > 0:14:22north-west England, north Wales, and a little bit of brightness across

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Kent, Sussex, Essex, that kind of area as well. Through the afternoon

0:14:26 > 0:14:30the cloud will thicken out towards the west, heralding the arrival of a

0:14:30 > 0:14:34weather front. That will introduce some rain and also some

0:14:34 > 0:14:37strengthening winds. At note the temperatures. We are looking at ten

0:14:37 > 0:14:43in Plymouth, and on the south coast, seven, eight or nine. Still pretty

0:14:43 > 0:14:49cool as we push up towards Newcastle. Through the evening and

0:14:49 > 0:14:51overnight, this weather front will erratically move north eastwards. We

0:14:51 > 0:14:55will see some heavy rain passing through the Midlands for a time,

0:14:55 > 0:14:58through Scotland as well. And also depositing some snow across parts of

0:14:58 > 0:15:02the hills of northern England and Scotland through the course of the

0:15:02 > 0:15:07night. Hide it, again a fair bit of cloud around. As we move through

0:15:07 > 0:15:12tomorrow, a little bit of a question mark as to the timing of clearance

0:15:12 > 0:15:15from eastern England. We think at this stage through the afternoon it

0:15:15 > 0:15:18will hang around across north-east Scotland and the Northern Isles for

0:15:18 > 0:15:22longer. Behind it, much righter skies. More of us will see some

0:15:22 > 0:15:26sunshine through the course of tomorrow. Temperature-wise, still

0:15:26 > 0:15:30ten across the south-west. Still looking at four in Glasgow, so no

0:15:30 > 0:15:35heat wave in prospect. As we go through the end of the week we are

0:15:35 > 0:15:37looking at fault, especially on Wednesday night in the Thursday

0:15:37 > 0:15:41morning across East Wales, the Midlands and southern England. That

0:15:41 > 0:15:45could take its time to clear during Thursday. Some of it will lift into

0:15:45 > 0:15:50low cloud anyway. Behind that there will be some breaks in that cloud.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54There will also be some sunshine, and there will also be a lot of dry

0:15:54 > 0:15:57weather around. Temperature still on the low side in the north. We are

0:15:57 > 0:16:01looking at eight or nine, so coming down a touch in the south. A quick

0:16:01 > 0:16:05look at what Friday holds, again we see some fog first thing in the

0:16:05 > 0:16:09morning which could take its time to clear. A lot of dry weather, some

0:16:09 > 0:16:12brighter breaks, but another weather front coming in from the west. That

0:16:12 > 0:16:23will also bring in some rain and some stronger winds.

0:16:23 > 0:16:30Let us look at the papers. At times. Most of the papers are going with

0:16:30 > 0:16:34the proposed reshuffle which is extended into the day.

0:16:39 > 0:16:47Lots about Jeremy Hunt being asked to move. Getting a bit more beef to

0:16:47 > 0:16:54his brief, with social care being added. This is a photo of Princess

0:16:54 > 0:16:58Charlotte taken outside Kensington Palace.The Daily Telegraph, this is

0:16:58 > 0:17:01how they have written up the reshuffle.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14The Daily Mail, Princess Charlotte again.

0:17:21 > 0:17:26The front page of the Guardian. We were talking about this yesterday

0:17:26 > 0:17:32about Oprah Winfrey to speech at the Golden Globe Awards. "But Before

0:17:32 > 0:17:44President". Also, the BBC will be written to about allegations are

0:17:44 > 0:17:49discriminated -- discrimination over the resignation of Carrie Gracie.

0:17:49 > 0:17:55Again, Princess Charlotte on the front page. Also, billions of pounds

0:17:55 > 0:18:00should be devoted from Britain's bloated foreign age Budget. Bill on

0:18:00 > 0:18:10the sofa uses coconut oil?I was thinking, what for? I don't know

0:18:10 > 0:18:18what to do with it.It's good to take your make-up off. I had really

0:18:18 > 0:18:24soars high from scraping it away. It didn't work well but I still have it

0:18:24 > 0:18:31in the bathroom Cabinet.We are talking about this a bit later

0:18:31 > 0:18:39because there is a new study, the truth about coconut oil. The study

0:18:39 > 0:18:44is working out whether it lowers your cholesterol. We are comparing

0:18:44 > 0:18:51it to olive oil. Olive oil producers are really annoyed about it. Trying

0:18:51 > 0:18:56to get the truth about what is the best fat to use.Or perhaps even

0:18:56 > 0:19:04butter. I have been scouring the papers because I've been looking to

0:19:04 > 0:19:07some good news on business because it's all depressing. Not much good

0:19:07 > 0:19:14news. If you want to look away now if you don't want to hear bad news.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19A story in the Daily Mirror are about workers in Boxall -- workers

0:19:19 > 0:19:30at Boxall with 250 jobs to be lost. This comes after redundancies at the

0:19:30 > 0:19:37Cheshire factory of Vauxhall' which produces the Astra. They are having

0:19:37 > 0:19:42a tough time. I was talking about how manufacturers are feeling a bit

0:19:42 > 0:19:46more optimistic about the future. I was talking about retailers, there

0:19:46 > 0:19:51is some research on the times. The number of retailers going into

0:19:51 > 0:19:55administration has risen for the first time in five years. Lots of

0:19:55 > 0:20:06consumer confidence falling. Sorry depressing bit of news.Can you get

0:20:06 > 0:20:16your lookalike of Ed Sheeran ready. Lots of stories about the VAR, the

0:20:16 > 0:20:22video assistant referee used in the FA Cup last night. Did it touches

0:20:22 > 0:20:28arm? No, so the goal stands. Andy Murray wearing his panda bear

0:20:28 > 0:20:36pyjamas. Very fetching.Topless.He can pull off the topless look. In

0:20:36 > 0:20:42The Daily Telegraph and lots of the papers, the postmortem with the

0:20:42 > 0:20:47papers picking over the tatters of England's Ashes tour. Those pictures

0:20:47 > 0:20:53down here of the ash is superimposed onto the kind of sales of the Sydney

0:20:53 > 0:21:06Opera House. -- boat sales. There have been meetings about how to make

0:21:06 > 0:21:11the cricket more competitive. If you are at home, you tend to win the

0:21:11 > 0:21:19Ashes. Now looking at how to make it more competitive. They might stretch

0:21:19 > 0:21:24out the Ashes. Instead of having five tests in six weeks, they will

0:21:24 > 0:21:29stretch it out even longer. A lot more time away at home.You want to

0:21:29 > 0:21:37show you a photo of Ed Sheeran. His girlfriend is absolutely raging. He

0:21:37 > 0:21:47is loving it. This guy however is not Ed Sheeran.We will talk about

0:21:47 > 0:21:56social media mistakes later. Jeremy Hunt liked a tweet by accident and

0:21:56 > 0:22:03had to apologise about it.Oh, Lord.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06South Korea has proposed holding reunions during next month's

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Winter Olympics for families divided by the Korean War.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11North and South are holding their first official talks in more

0:22:11 > 0:22:12than two years.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Seperated families is one of the most emotive legacies

0:22:14 > 0:22:16of the conflict which began in 1950.

0:22:16 > 0:22:24Joining us from Seoul is our reporter Sophie Long.

0:22:24 > 0:22:29Good morning to you. Thank you coming on the programme. These are

0:22:29 > 0:22:38historic talks?Our indeed. The first government level talks to take

0:22:38 > 0:22:41place between North Korea and South Korea getting under way at ten

0:22:41 > 0:22:46o'clock this morning, that South Korean delegation travelling about

0:22:46 > 0:22:53one hour to the meeting. It is a series of buildings which actually

0:22:53 > 0:22:58struggled the border in the Demilitarised Zone. The North Korean

0:22:58 > 0:23:02delegation just walked across the border and they have been in these

0:23:02 > 0:23:09talks. We have an update from the Minister a little while ago in North

0:23:09 > 0:23:14Korea and its been agreed that Pyongyang will send a delegation to

0:23:14 > 0:23:19the Winter Olympics which are taking place in South Korea next month.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23They are sending a full delegation of high-ranking officials, a

0:23:23 > 0:23:29taekwondo team, athletes, cheering squad. That will take place and it

0:23:29 > 0:23:35is hoped it will some breathing space when tensions have been

0:23:35 > 0:23:40seriously high, extremely high throw the course of 2017. They have

0:23:40 > 0:23:44reconvened after lunch and they are not talking about humanitarian

0:23:44 > 0:23:50issues. You mentioned divided families. South Korea has proposed

0:23:50 > 0:23:56that the reunion zombies divided families. 65,000 people have their

0:23:56 > 0:24:02families divided over the border. One man has not seen his sister for

0:24:02 > 0:24:0870 years. He feels he is lucky because he has letters and has had

0:24:08 > 0:24:13pictures seeing her growing up. A lot of people don't even have that.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17That is a highly emotive issue here. That is what they are currently

0:24:17 > 0:24:21discussing. We are expecting them to touch on military issues and all

0:24:21 > 0:24:31sorts of Korean issues. The talks seem to be going well at the moment.

0:24:31 > 0:24:41I imagine there would be a bit of interest and observation as well.

0:24:41 > 0:24:46What happens with the Olympic delegation?A huge amount of

0:24:46 > 0:24:50interest in these talks and a huge amount in the interests -- in the

0:24:50 > 0:24:57Winter Olympics. Ticket sales have gone up. They weren't selling slowly

0:24:57 > 0:25:01but there is a huge amount of interest and there will only be one

0:25:01 > 0:25:05event in which they are competing. That is the pairs figure skating.

0:25:05 > 0:25:15Can you imagine the amount of interest? The move has been welcomed

0:25:15 > 0:25:18at the moment and outside the sporting sphere it is hoped this

0:25:18 > 0:25:23will create some breathing space in which content -- in which tensions

0:25:23 > 0:25:34can continue to ease and further talks take place.It would be a

0:25:34 > 0:25:37great breakthrough for them.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Turning down our thermostats and washing clothes at lower

0:25:39 > 0:25:42temperatures - just two of the ways we can save power.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's something children have been learning

0:25:44 > 0:25:46about for a new science project.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Jayne McCubbin is at Balcurvie Primary School for us this

0:25:48 > 0:25:52morning to find out more.

0:25:52 > 0:26:01To get that right?You got it exactly right. Didn't he? Good

0:26:01 > 0:26:08morning from everybody. Good morning, children. They woke up so

0:26:08 > 0:26:12early this morning. Good morning especially from our electric

0:26:12 > 0:26:18detectives. They have been turning into super sleuths in a school for

0:26:18 > 0:26:28terrific scientific. If you have not seen any more of the of the Terrific

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Scientfic investigations, Terrific Scientfic investigations upon the

0:26:30 > 0:26:35BBC and may involve these children and Linda from the University.You

0:26:35 > 0:26:41are gathering real data? We have been monitoring our electricity and

0:26:41 > 0:26:45gas consumption because what you want to do is try to level it.8000

0:26:45 > 0:26:55schools. If you can lower it, you are saving two things. Money and the

0:26:55 > 0:27:03environment. Doctor Webber has come up with the... Switched witch. Take

0:27:03 > 0:27:12it away. I am going to leave it. If we can get the music playing, there

0:27:12 > 0:27:16it is, the switch twitch. Make sure you switch off the lights and

0:27:16 > 0:30:44computers and everything. I will leave you with a dance at hand.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46stubborn. The temperature stays fairly cold but temperatures at

0:30:46 > 0:30:55night time staying above zero. That's it from us.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:30:58 > 0:31:04It is 6:30am.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10But also on Breakfast this morning: Is it ever justified

0:31:10 > 0:31:11to smack your children?

0:31:11 > 0:31:14Wales plans to follow Scotland's lead and ban the physical

0:31:14 > 0:31:15punishment of youngsters.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17We will ask parents whether they should be able

0:31:17 > 0:31:19to choose how to discipline their children.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22A day after the powerful stand taken by female actors

0:31:22 > 0:31:24at the Golden Globes, the BAFTA nominations are revealed

0:31:24 > 0:31:26in just over an hour.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28We will be there for the announcement.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31And he is a former software engineer who describes himself as a space

0:31:31 > 0:31:33dork, but when Andy Weir wrote The Martian, it

0:31:33 > 0:31:35sent his career into orbit.

0:31:35 > 0:31:50He will be here to tell us about his new, moon-based thriller.

0:31:50 > 0:31:51Good morning.

0:31:51 > 0:31:58Here is a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00The Education Secretary, Justine Greening, has resigned

0:32:00 > 0:32:03from the Government after refusing a job as Work and Pensions Secretary

0:32:03 > 0:32:04in Theresa May's Cabinet reshuffle.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07It is also understood that Jeremy Hunt was asked to become

0:32:07 > 0:32:10business secretary, but persuaded the Prime Minister to keep him

0:32:10 > 0:32:11at the Department of Health.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15Theresa May is expected to make more changes to her Cabinet later today.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18And at 7:10am we will be talking to the new Chairman

0:32:18 > 0:32:19of the Conservative Party, Brandon Lewis.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22North Korea has agreed to send athletes accompanied by senior

0:32:22 > 0:32:25officials to the Winter Olympics in South Korea next month.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28The two countries have held their first talks for more

0:32:28 > 0:32:31than two years, in the Demilitarised Zone that divides the Peninsula.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33The South Korean delegation has also proposed more contacts

0:32:33 > 0:32:36between the two countries, in what appears to be a significant

0:32:36 > 0:32:38move to lower tension in the region.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Parents in Wales could be banned from smacking their children,

0:32:41 > 0:32:43under new plans.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46The Welsh Government is consulting on the changes,

0:32:46 > 0:32:49and people will be given 12 weeks to make their views known.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52Scotland is in the process of introducing a similar ban.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55Rising food costs meant consumers had less to spend on clothing

0:32:55 > 0:32:57and gifts over Christmas this year, according to retail industry

0:32:57 > 0:32:58figures out today.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01The British Retail Consortium said food sales in the three months

0:33:01 > 0:33:05to December were up over 4% on last year, whereas sales of non-food

0:33:05 > 0:33:06items were at a five-year low.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08Mothercare and Debenhams have both issued profit warnings

0:33:08 > 0:33:09after disappointing Christmas sales.

0:33:09 > 0:33:25Morrisons is due to report its festive trading this morning.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Almost 100 firefighters have been tackling a fire at a paint factory

0:33:28 > 0:33:32in North London overnight. The London Fire Brigade said 15 engines

0:33:32 > 0:33:36were sent to the scene after eyewitnesses heard explosions.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Workers left the factory safely before crews arrived.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41Workers left the factory safely before crews arrived. The cause of

0:33:41 > 0:33:44the fire, and you can see the flames looking pretty dramatic, because it

0:33:44 > 0:33:55is still being investigated. -- the cause is still being investigated.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58A UK-wide ban on the manufacturing of cosmetics and care products

0:33:58 > 0:34:00containing microbeads has come into force today,

0:34:00 > 0:34:03in an attempt to cut down on the amount of plastic

0:34:03 > 0:34:04in our oceans.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07The beads that are used in hundreds of facewashes and shower gels

0:34:07 > 0:34:10are often ingested by sea animals, and even end up entering

0:34:10 > 0:34:11our food chain.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15It will be followed by a wider ban on the sale of products containing

0:34:15 > 0:34:16microbeads later in the year.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20That is a summary of all the latest news. And we are talking about video

0:34:20 > 0:34:26assistant refereeing technology.I can get the assistant right!We have

0:34:26 > 0:34:31struggled with that, haven't we? But they did use it last night.Not in

0:34:31 > 0:34:37its fullest and most detailed capacity, so you know, it has been

0:34:37 > 0:34:49introduced. As in rugby, the referee can make the TV sign, and refer

0:34:49 > 0:34:53things, big, contentious decisions, penalties, goals and offside

0:34:53 > 0:34:57decisions, things like that. Last night, Brighton versus Pallas, it

0:34:57 > 0:35:03looked like it might have brushed Glenn Murray's arm, but it wasn't

0:35:03 > 0:35:11fully reviewed -- Palace. The referee said to me it looks fine. So

0:35:11 > 0:35:19it was a semi- use. But you will be able to see it for Arsenal against

0:35:19 > 0:35:23Chelsea and the League Cup final. Last night was the first time it was

0:35:23 > 0:35:25used, but it will be used in the future.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28An English football first - the Video assistant referee,

0:35:28 > 0:35:31or VAR, as it is known, made its debut as Brighton beat

0:35:31 > 0:35:34Crystal Palace 2-1 in the FA Cup third round.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Screens were available for referee Andre Marriner at the side

0:35:36 > 0:35:40of the pitch, should he have needed to see any replays of incidents.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43And, when Glenn Murray scored a late winner for Brighton,

0:35:43 > 0:35:45did the final touch come off his arm?

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Well, Marriner consulted the video referee team,

0:35:47 > 0:35:48and they were happy it hadn't.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51You can make your mind up from the evidence,

0:35:51 > 0:35:53although it didn't stop Palace players making their feelings

0:35:53 > 0:35:54known at full-time.

0:35:54 > 0:36:00But manager Roy Hodgson was more philosophical.

0:36:00 > 0:36:07From where we were standing, and watching, it looked for all the

0:36:07 > 0:36:11world that he had handled it, and the players who were close by, they

0:36:11 > 0:36:16thought so too. But to be fair when you see lots of times, there is a

0:36:16 > 0:36:19very good case for the VAR, and the referee to make, that he didn't

0:36:19 > 0:36:24actually handle it. It was very, very close, so I have no complaints

0:36:24 > 0:36:25about that.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Brighton will face Middlesbrough in the fourth round.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Among the standout ties, Manchester United travel

0:36:29 > 0:36:30to League two Yeovil.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32The lowest-ranked side left, Newport County, are at home

0:36:32 > 0:36:35to Spurs, while Manchester City have been drawn away

0:36:35 > 0:36:36to Cardiff or Mansfield.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40The full draw is on the BBC Sport website.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Philippe Coutinho is now officially a Barcelona player.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46His £142 million transfer from Liverpool was confirmed,

0:36:46 > 0:36:49before showing off some of his skills to the Barca fans

0:36:49 > 0:36:51at the Nou Camp.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53The 25-year-old Brazilian has signed a 5.5-year deal.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57He has a thigh injury, so won't be able to make his debut

0:36:57 > 0:37:01for another three weeks.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04They have only just finished picking up the confetti in Sydney,

0:37:04 > 0:37:05after Australia's Ashes victory.

0:37:05 > 0:37:06So where next for England?

0:37:06 > 0:37:09Well, they name their Test squad to face New Zealand later,

0:37:09 > 0:37:12with head coach Trevor Bayliss saying he plans to quit

0:37:12 > 0:37:19after next year's Ashes.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23I have already told Andrew Strauss, probably 12 months ago, that

0:37:23 > 0:37:29September 2019I am contracted to, and that would see me out. I have

0:37:29 > 0:37:33never been anywhere more than four or five years. Whether you are going

0:37:33 > 0:37:38well or not, I have always felt that a roundabout that four year mark is

0:37:38 > 0:37:42time to change, a new voice, and a different approach, slightly

0:37:42 > 0:37:46different approach from someone just reinvigorates things.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49Widnes Vikings centre Kato Ottio has died at the age of 23,

0:37:49 > 0:37:52after suffering what has been described as a sudden health

0:37:52 > 0:37:53issue in training.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56The Papua New Guinea international only joined the club in December,

0:37:56 > 0:37:59and was to link up with his new teammates next week,

0:37:59 > 0:38:00ahead of the new season.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Widnes CEO James Rule said Kato was an incredibly talented player,

0:38:03 > 0:38:07with a bright future.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09Defending champion Sam Sunderland has retaken the lead

0:38:09 > 0:38:12of the Dakar Rally, after the third stage.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15The man from Poole nicknamed 'Super Sam' had to negotiate his way

0:38:15 > 0:38:19through the Peruvian desert in order to regain the lead that he had lost

0:38:19 > 0:38:19after stage two.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22He finished over three minutes ahead of his nearest riders,

0:38:22 > 0:38:27and has a four-minute lead overall.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Johanna Konta's preparations for this month's Australian Open

0:38:29 > 0:38:31continued in Sydney, but the defending champion

0:38:31 > 0:38:33lost her opening match to Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Meanwhile, the other British number one, Andy Murray,

0:38:36 > 0:38:39has had hip surgery in Melbourne, and says he hopes to be playing

0:38:39 > 0:38:41again in time for the grass-court season.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44He posted this on social media saying he is looking forward

0:38:44 > 0:38:45to starting rehab.

0:38:45 > 0:38:53He has not played a competitive match since Wimbledon in July.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56Now, spare a thought for Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios,

0:38:56 > 0:38:59who was hit in the face by Alex Zverev during a doubles

0:38:59 > 0:39:01match in Sydney.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04But luckily a cuddle from his German opponent was enough to get Kyrgios

0:39:04 > 0:39:14back on his feet.

0:39:14 > 0:39:19That is very sweet, isn't it?A tennis ball can really hurt, then

0:39:19 > 0:39:24and squash balls. I have loads of bruises from squash balls.I

0:39:24 > 0:39:29remember some many saying that you stood in front, if Boris Becker

0:39:29 > 0:39:34served at you at full tilt and you stood in front of him, the ball

0:39:34 > 0:39:40would go through you. Is that made up?It has to be.It would probably

0:39:40 > 0:39:45hurt a lot. I remember thinking at the time that has got to be garbage.

0:39:45 > 0:39:52But who knows? I don't think you would ever want to prove it. In the

0:39:52 > 0:39:53weather, it was really cold

0:39:53 > 0:39:54weather, it was really cold yesterday, and slightly warmer

0:39:54 > 0:39:58today.Good morning all. Not as cold.

0:39:58 > 0:39:58today.Good morning all. Not as cold.

0:39:58 > 0:40:03today.Good morning all. Not as cold. Yesterday in Strathalbyn it

0:40:03 > 0:40:07was -10, and today it is minus three. That is a whopping rise in

0:40:07 > 0:40:10temperatures compared with yesterday morning. Generally called Day,

0:40:10 > 0:40:17something of a -- nothing of a heat wave in prospect. Some patchy fog

0:40:17 > 0:40:22and the cloud is big enough for the odd spot of drizzle. One of the

0:40:22 > 0:40:25exceptions to that is across north-west Scotland where it is a

0:40:25 > 0:40:29cold start. Clear skies by night, a touch of frost around first thing

0:40:29 > 0:40:33but you will see some sunshine. For the rest of Scotland and most of

0:40:33 > 0:40:36northern England it is cloudy. Again some fog patches across the

0:40:36 > 0:40:40Pennines, but north-west England, especially around Cumbria, you have

0:40:40 > 0:40:49some clearer skies. South of England. Again the odd pocket of low

0:40:49 > 0:40:53cloud or indeed some fog here and there. Most of that will tend to

0:40:53 > 0:40:57lift but not as cold as it was this time yesterday morning. For Wales,

0:40:57 > 0:41:00again, some fog patches with height at north-west Wales seeing some

0:41:00 > 0:41:04brighter breaks. Not just this morning, but throughout the day. The

0:41:04 > 0:41:07brightest breaks are likely to be across north-west Scotland,

0:41:07 > 0:41:12north-west England, around Carlisle, north-west Wales, and we could see

0:41:12 > 0:41:17some developing Kent, Essex and Sussex. By the end of the afternoon,

0:41:17 > 0:41:19rain coming in from the west accompanied by strengthening winds.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23And note the temperatures in Plymouth, around ten. Along the

0:41:23 > 0:41:28south coast we are looking at between seven and nine but more

0:41:28 > 0:41:32further north, three in Glasgow, and cultural Newcastle. Through the

0:41:32 > 0:41:38evening and overnight, this band of rain erratically moves north

0:41:38 > 0:41:42eastwards. It starts to lose some of its energy and it will tend to

0:41:42 > 0:41:46fragment. Across the Midlands and parts of Scotland, heady bursts of

0:41:46 > 0:41:50rain for a time. We will also see some hills note in Scotland and the

0:41:50 > 0:41:55hills of northern England as well. A cold night in St Helier, the

0:41:55 > 0:42:00temperatures dipping to eight degrees. Tomorrow our weather front

0:42:00 > 0:42:03continues its journey north eastwards. A bit of a question mark

0:42:03 > 0:42:07over the clearance time across East of England. At the moment we think

0:42:07 > 0:42:11it will be through the afternoon but it will hang around through the day

0:42:11 > 0:42:13across north-east Scotland and the Northern Isles. Behind it, lovely

0:42:13 > 0:42:18blue skies to look forward to. There will be some sunshine, temperatures

0:42:18 > 0:42:22in the south still nine or ten, lower across the central swathes of

0:42:22 > 0:42:26the UK. Aberdeen, you won't know yourself. Seven degrees, still

0:42:26 > 0:42:30connected with this band of rain. And an overnight from Wednesday into

0:42:30 > 0:42:35Thursday we are looking at fog, especially East Wales, through the

0:42:35 > 0:42:39Midlands and southern counties. Some of that will be slow to clear, so

0:42:39 > 0:42:42that lifting into slow cloud during the course of Thursday. But there

0:42:42 > 0:42:46will be a lot of brightness as well, but temperatures by then starting to

0:42:46 > 0:42:49dip a little bit.Thank you very much, we will see

0:42:49 > 0:42:50dip a little bit.Thank you very much, we will see you later on this

0:42:50 > 0:42:55morning. We will talk about the reshuffle in a moment, but I want to

0:42:55 > 0:42:58give you the news that the journalist Toby Young has resigned

0:42:58 > 0:43:03from the board of the office for students after 200,000 people signed

0:43:03 > 0:43:09a petition calling for him to go. He wrote an article in the Spectator

0:43:09 > 0:43:15saying that his appointment had become a distraction from the work

0:43:15 > 0:43:20in higher education.It follows revelations he had made offensive

0:43:20 > 0:43:22comments on Twitter.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Theresa May's new year reshuffle didn't quite go to plan yesterday.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27Education Secretary Justine Greening resigned after refusing a move

0:43:27 > 0:43:30to business, and Jeremy Hunt, who was tipped for a move,

0:43:30 > 0:43:32remains as Health Secretary, with added responsibilities.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35Today, more ministerial roles are expected to go to women,

0:43:35 > 0:43:37younger MPs, and those from ethnic minorities.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39Let's speak to Rowena Mason, deputy political editor

0:43:39 > 0:43:41of the Guardian, and Joey Jones, who was a speechwriter

0:43:41 > 0:43:54for Theresa May during her time as Home Secretary.

0:43:54 > 0:43:59Good morning to you both, thank you very much indeed for joining us.

0:43:59 > 0:44:03First of all, you have seen the reshuffle. What do you make of it?

0:44:03 > 0:44:08Has she done what she set out to do? Well, no is the short answer to

0:44:08 > 0:44:12that, because she wanted to move Jeremy Hunt from his position as

0:44:12 > 0:44:15Health Secretary the business secretary. He dug in his heels

0:44:15 > 0:44:19yesterday after several hours in Downing Street making what his

0:44:19 > 0:44:23friends say was a passionate case for staying in his role. And then

0:44:23 > 0:44:30subsequently Justine Greening, Theresa May wanted to move her to

0:44:30 > 0:44:34the Department of Work and Pensions. Rather than letting her stay in her

0:44:34 > 0:44:38job, she was forced to quit, and now it will be quite a powerful advocate

0:44:38 > 0:44:43on the backbenches for some pro-European views, potentially some

0:44:43 > 0:44:48other kinds of centrist and more liberal views than Theresa May

0:44:48 > 0:45:01holds, joining some of the rebel awkward squad.

0:45:01 > 0:45:02Jones, you used to write speeches for Theresa May. Will there

0:45:02 > 0:45:03Jones, you used to write speeches for Theresa May. Will there be

0:45:03 > 0:45:12frustration? -- jelly Jones.It must be frustrating. The two potential

0:45:12 > 0:45:17narratives built up were on the one hand that she was going to use this

0:45:17 > 0:45:22to assert authority of the government and the country at large.

0:45:22 > 0:45:26The other that she was going to revitalise more reflect the

0:45:26 > 0:45:29diversity of the country with a more diverse Cabinet. Neither has

0:45:29 > 0:45:35happened. In terms of asserting her authority, you have a situation

0:45:35 > 0:45:42where Cabinet colleagues have dug in their heels and said no. The shape

0:45:42 > 0:45:46of the Cabinet hasn't really changed. Most people haven't stayed

0:45:46 > 0:46:02in shape. That will pass the vast majority and it varies the charts,

0:46:02 > 0:46:09just steam could be hugely damaging. She will have been infuriated.

0:46:09 > 0:46:14Notably being described as deadwood. Also another couple of Cabinet

0:46:14 > 0:46:22colleagues. If she wants to make some noise about social mobility,

0:46:22 > 0:46:29that could be a big problem. It's interesting that Toby Young, in the

0:46:29 > 0:46:33resignation blocky put out a couple of minutes ago, speaking very

0:46:33 > 0:46:42favourably.Let's talk about Jeremy Hunt. We understand the Prime

0:46:42 > 0:46:51Minister wanted to move him. What sort of position does that put him

0:46:51 > 0:46:58in?It puts him in a strong position. It shows that Theresa May

0:46:58 > 0:47:08has not been able to stamp her authority on him. Really, she has

0:47:08 > 0:47:13been left with shuttling around a very few number of posts. 17 Cabinet

0:47:13 > 0:47:26ministers have stayed in place. It looks like she has had to boost the

0:47:26 > 0:47:31number of people attending Cabinet to some more junior ministers. All

0:47:31 > 0:47:35in all, it looks like a long day 's work and not too much achieved.

0:47:35 > 0:47:44Still more work to be done today, Joey Jones.What you expect from

0:47:44 > 0:47:51today? An opportunity to bring lots of younger MPs. People from diverse

0:47:51 > 0:47:59backgrounds. Ultimately, people couldn't judge it by the Cabinet.

0:47:59 > 0:48:10There was a significant impact from the Conservative Party apparatus.

0:48:10 > 0:48:15Outside the door of number ten. Really, people will look at the

0:48:15 > 0:48:19Cabinet reshuffle and they will combine this now. We are in the

0:48:19 > 0:48:24middle of the reshuffle but Toby Jones resigning, let's not forget

0:48:24 > 0:48:28that Theresa May spoke about that. She said she felt this could

0:48:28 > 0:48:38continue.You have heard it that he has resigned. How do you work on

0:48:38 > 0:48:44that news?It looks like another addition to what the newspapers have

0:48:44 > 0:48:48been calling the shambles in the chaos. You have the government

0:48:48 > 0:48:58effectively depending -- defending his appointment. Others would call

0:48:58 > 0:49:04it offensive and sexist. There was an urgent question in the House of

0:49:04 > 0:49:08Commons. A briefing document was handed out giving examples of how

0:49:08 > 0:49:13they could defend his appointment. It looks like the government is

0:49:13 > 0:49:17being swept along by events rather than shaping them.Thank you very

0:49:17 > 0:49:28much.

0:49:28 > 0:49:32Drivers looking to buy a second hand car may have been sold an ex-rental

0:49:32 > 0:49:33without knowing it.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36Steph has the details.

0:49:36 > 0:49:41Good morning. There were about a million ex- rental cars which are

0:49:41 > 0:49:45sold in Britain every year and now there is some debate about whether

0:49:45 > 0:49:50buyers should be told or not. The Advertising Standards Authority is

0:49:50 > 0:49:56warning dealerships to be more clear about the history of the car. I am

0:50:01 > 0:50:06can you explain how this has come about?A test case with people

0:50:06 > 0:50:11having trouble and it was found the dealership had sold to ex- fleet

0:50:11 > 0:50:16cars. One being used by a company car driver and the other for

0:50:16 > 0:50:20training. They had been driven by multiple drivers but have been

0:50:20 > 0:50:27described as one careful owner.Is there a way to people to find out?

0:50:27 > 0:50:32They have to tell you if you ask. Always ask the key questions. Look

0:50:32 > 0:50:38at the documentation. See whether it is a named person or unnamed

0:50:38 > 0:50:47company.Getting a car that wasn't rental or fleet, is it bad news?

0:50:47 > 0:50:55Loads of marls and worn out?Not necessarily. Quite often company

0:50:55 > 0:51:01cars are the best in terms of being looked after. Many of them now have

0:51:01 > 0:51:06a black box recorder. They can be among the best. You have to do your

0:51:06 > 0:51:11homework. You how to apply some commonsense and logic.It's

0:51:11 > 0:51:15interesting because you do think when you going to buy a car, but it

0:51:15 > 0:51:20says one previous owner, you don't feel like you have to ask how many

0:51:20 > 0:51:28people have driven it.That is it, you don't have to have the onus. If

0:51:28 > 0:51:32you are going to make a large purchase, it is slightly on you to

0:51:32 > 0:51:37do your homework and to really do research before you buy.Will it

0:51:37 > 0:51:43make a difference?I think it will because it gives reassurance to the

0:51:43 > 0:51:51buyer. And now, with this ruling, there is the potential for people

0:51:51 > 0:51:58who have trouble with that cars. It's about transparency.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01Historically, second-hand car dealers have not had the best

0:52:01 > 0:52:07reputation in terms of transparency. This can only help. These are two,

0:52:07 > 0:52:16three-year-old cars. The better end of the used car market. It brings a

0:52:16 > 0:52:27bit more clarity.Interesting, thank you for your time.

0:52:27 > 0:52:32The Consumer Electronics Show kicks off and was Vegas. The biggest event

0:52:32 > 0:52:36in the tech calendar.

0:52:36 > 0:52:39This year it's exptected to draw more than 170,000 people,

0:52:56 > 0:53:05airport.We will come to that in a moment. But he had just missed

0:53:05 > 0:53:11something extraordinary. Behind me a few minutes ago, a fleet of drones.

0:53:19 > 0:53:24of the Bellagio H. That feeds into the theme of artificial

0:53:24 > 0:53:29intelligence. And the companies competing to show they can make

0:53:29 > 0:53:31great products. I

0:53:48 > 0:53:56shake hands? Really good to meet you. You are quite warm actually.

0:53:56 > 0:54:03How sophisticated RU as a robot?I want people to perceive me as a

0:54:03 > 0:54:10robot. I don't want them to think I'm human. I want to communicate

0:54:10 > 0:54:15with people in the best possible way which means looking like one.Sophia

0:54:23 > 0:54:28the road to artificial intelligence. Our aspiration is to bring the

0:54:28 > 0:54:32machines to life, to create living intelligent Systems and there you

0:54:32 > 0:54:36will see the greatest revolution in artificial intelligence. We are

0:54:36 > 0:54:41aspiring towards this. Do we know it can be done?We think it can. And

0:54:41 > 0:54:47among the thousands of new gadgets on show, artificial intelligence is

0:54:47 > 0:54:51a constant theme. There is a seeing suitcase which can follow its own

0:54:51 > 0:54:56around the airport. This friendly robot wanders around your home,

0:54:56 > 0:55:01filming short bursts of video to send to your phone. And Vincent,

0:55:01 > 0:55:05developed in Cambridge, is a drawing programme which learns to turn

0:55:05 > 0:55:10simple sketches into works of art. We already are on a million

0:55:10 > 0:55:14different things already, a lot of products. AI represents a whole new

0:55:14 > 0:55:18wave of ways to make those electronic products more

0:55:18 > 0:55:22interesting. What that means that the consumer electronics industry as

0:55:22 > 0:55:27a whole new wave of products can sell to us and they are a lot more

0:55:27 > 0:55:31useful and helpful also the belief goes.And here is the most obvious.

0:55:31 > 0:55:38The race to transform cities with driverless cars. As autonomous still

0:55:54 > 0:56:00There has been a bit of breaking news in the last few hours. The boss

0:56:00 > 0:56:06of Intel has spoken about the security scare. Chips in millions of

0:56:06 > 0:56:11computers and smartphones apparently vulnerable to intruders. He didn't

0:56:11 > 0:56:16apologise, he said it was an industrywide issue but he tried to

0:56:16 > 0:56:21reassure people that no evidence had been stolen from customers. If you

0:56:21 > 0:56:28get a security update, you should act upon it. Very handy advice.

0:56:28 > 0:56:32Apologies that we missed the illuminated drone show. Something

0:56:32 > 0:59:55amazing just happened.

1:01:17 > 1:01:23We will be finding out.

1:01:23 > 1:01:28Good morning. It is not quite as cold today as it was yesterday.

1:01:28 > 1:01:33There will be a lot of cloud around, some drizzle coming out of that

1:01:33 > 1:01:36cloud, brighter breaks in parts of the west, but we have also got a

1:01:36 > 1:01:40weather front coming in from the west which later on will bring

1:01:40 > 1:01:44strengthening winds and some rain. I will have more in about 15 minutes.

1:01:44 > 1:01:46Good morning.

1:01:46 > 1:01:48First, our main story: The education secretary,

1:02:22 > 1:02:25of welfare, as she was asked to do.

1:02:25 > 1:02:26And it is understood the Health Secretary,

1:02:26 > 1:02:30Jeremy Hunt, who was also in line for a move, this time to business,

1:02:30 > 1:02:33successfully argued to stay where he was.

1:02:33 > 1:02:36A reshuffle designed to breathe new life into the Government did see

1:02:36 > 1:02:38a few switch jobs, a handful promoted.

1:02:38 > 1:02:41But there was no movement in the top positions,

1:02:41 > 1:02:44and the Cabinet make-up is largely unchanged.

1:02:44 > 1:02:47Though there was a shakeup of staff in charge of running

1:02:47 > 1:02:50the Conservative Party, to try to broaden its appeal

1:02:50 > 1:02:52and revive the Tory electoral machine.

1:02:52 > 1:02:55Now, on day two of the reshuffle, Theresa May's focus turns

1:02:55 > 1:02:58to the junior ministerial roles.

1:02:58 > 1:03:01Number Ten says the Prime Minister will promote young talent

1:03:01 > 1:03:02from the backbenches.

1:03:02 > 1:03:05Downing Street is promising the new ministerial team will be

1:03:05 > 1:03:08more diverse, with more women and MPs from minority backgrounds,

1:03:08 > 1:03:13so it better reflects the country.

1:03:13 > 1:03:15Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth is in Westminster this

1:03:15 > 1:03:21morning.

1:03:21 > 1:03:25Good morning to you once again. Yesterday at this time we were

1:03:25 > 1:03:29saying it was a day when Theresa May could set out the agenda and get

1:03:29 > 1:03:33herself back in the country's good books. It is another date when it

1:03:33 > 1:03:38seems like she has been reacting to events rather than directing them.

1:03:38 > 1:03:42Yes, this was meant to be reset moment. A chance for Theresa May to

1:03:42 > 1:03:45put the troubles of the last 12 months behind her, coming into the

1:03:45 > 1:03:50New Year saying I am in charge, here my government and let's get down to

1:03:50 > 1:03:54business, and also to show that the Conservative Party could be more

1:03:54 > 1:03:57representative of the country. It didn't go to plan. Justine Greening

1:03:57 > 1:04:00ended up walking away from government and Jeremy Hunt refused

1:04:00 > 1:04:05to move jobs. And at the end of the day the government doesn't look

1:04:05 > 1:04:08lastly different than it did before. So rather than a huge

1:04:08 > 1:04:11transformation, Theresa May began struggling to prove she can assert

1:04:11 > 1:04:14her authority, showing she is constrained by her position in

1:04:14 > 1:04:19government. Today we are expecting a whole host of junior ministerial

1:04:19 > 1:04:23appointments, and Number Ten very clear that they will be diverse,

1:04:23 > 1:04:27that they will be representative and reflective of the country, and show

1:04:27 > 1:04:31what kind of party the Conservative Party wants to be. And no doubt

1:04:31 > 1:04:35Downing Street will hope today's appointments go somewhat more

1:04:35 > 1:04:41smoothly.And some other news to reflect on, journalist Toby Young

1:04:41 > 1:04:45has stood down from his role with the office of students. It has been

1:04:45 > 1:04:49a lot of criticism, he has been defended by some Conservative MPs as

1:04:49 > 1:04:53well. Is that another blow for Theresa May?There was a huge

1:04:53 > 1:04:59backlash at his appointment because of offensive comments he had made on

1:04:59 > 1:05:04Twitter in the past. And Theresa May appeared to give him her support,

1:05:04 > 1:05:07saying any further comments and he would lose his job. Now he has

1:05:07 > 1:05:11chosen to go because he says he had become a distraction from the work

1:05:11 > 1:05:15of the board of the office for students. It is another unwelcome

1:05:15 > 1:05:20signal that not all smooth sailing at all times for Theresa May's

1:05:20 > 1:05:26government.Great to talk to you as ever, as I throw my paper across the

1:05:26 > 1:05:27table.

1:05:27 > 1:05:30And at 7:10am we will be talking to the new chairman

1:05:30 > 1:05:35of the Conservative Party, Brandon Lewis.

1:05:35 > 1:05:39I know many of you are getting in touch with us about this particular

1:05:39 > 1:05:41story.

1:05:41 > 1:05:44Parents in Wales could be banned from smacking their children,

1:05:44 > 1:05:44under new plans.

1:05:44 > 1:05:47The Welsh Government is consulting on the changes,

1:05:47 > 1:05:50and people will be given 12 weeks to make their views known.

1:05:50 > 1:05:53Scotland is in the process of introducing a similar ban.

1:05:53 > 1:05:53Dan Johnson reports.

1:05:53 > 1:09:01If it goes ahead, Wales would become the second part of the UK

1:09:01 > 1:09:03They will appear before Westminster Magistrates later today.

1:09:03 > 1:09:06National Action became the first far-right group to be banned

1:09:06 > 1:09:08in the UK, in December 2016, after the Home Secretary,

1:09:08 > 1:09:15Amber Rudd, said it was promoting violence and acts of terrorism.

1:09:15 > 1:09:18A UK-wide ban on the manufacturing of cosmetics and care products

1:09:18 > 1:09:20containing microbeads has come into force today,

1:09:20 > 1:09:23in an attempt to cut down on the amount of plastic

1:09:23 > 1:09:24in our oceans.

1:09:24 > 1:09:27The beads that are used in hundreds of facewashes and shower gels

1:09:27 > 1:09:30are often ingested by sea animals, and even end up entering

1:09:30 > 1:09:31our food chain.

1:09:31 > 1:09:35It will be followed by a wider ban on the sale of products containing

1:09:35 > 1:09:38microbeads later in the year.

1:09:38 > 1:09:41The warning is very clear - never work in television

1:09:41 > 1:09:42with children and animals.

1:09:42 > 1:09:45But this reporter clearly hasn't heard the advice.

1:09:45 > 1:09:47Alex Dunlop was filming a report at Banham Zoo, in Norfolk.

1:09:47 > 1:09:51But, as he attempted to tell the story, the zoo's lemurs decided

1:09:51 > 1:10:02that this was their moment of fame.

1:10:02 > 1:10:10He is fine.I do think it is the shade of the jumper. He has worn

1:10:10 > 1:10:18grey.More now on our main story. We were talking about this yesterday as

1:10:18 > 1:10:22well, Theresa May's reshuffle which seemingly didn't go according to

1:10:22 > 1:10:26plan. It is unsurprisingly on the front page of a lot of the papers.

1:10:26 > 1:10:36Theresa May reshuffle in disarray, as Justine Greening quits.Night of

1:10:36 > 1:10:40the blunt stiletto, as ministers refuse to move in reshuffle. The

1:10:40 > 1:10:43Daily Mail have said no, Prime Minister. The Health Secretary

1:10:43 > 1:10:48turning down a new job and Theresa May forced to sack the Education

1:10:48 > 1:10:55Secretary after she refuses to move. And on the times, Greening quits in

1:10:55 > 1:10:57shambolic reshuffle. Another newspaper calling it a reshuffle

1:10:57 > 1:11:04kerfuffle. Let's talk to Brendan Lewis. Good morning to you. Thank

1:11:04 > 1:11:07you for coming on Breakfast and reflecting on yesterday and looking

1:11:07 > 1:11:13ahead for us as well. I wonder, what has what we saw and heard yesterday,

1:11:13 > 1:11:16what does that say to the British public about your party this

1:11:16 > 1:11:20morning?If you look at what the Prime Minister outlined yesterday in

1:11:20 > 1:11:23terms of how the departments are working, there are some good people

1:11:23 > 1:11:27coming in, more women around the Cabinet table than we have ever had

1:11:27 > 1:11:31before. We have actually very clear focus, if you look at what we have

1:11:31 > 1:11:34done with the Ministry of Housing and local government, putting that

1:11:34 > 1:11:38real focus, as the Prime Minister herself has outlined, on delivering

1:11:38 > 1:11:42the housing we need in the country. And the important thing that we have

1:11:42 > 1:11:45seen this delivering health and social care. As someone who worked

1:11:45 > 1:11:48in local government around better funded social care, the importance

1:11:48 > 1:11:52of having health and social get-together is something most

1:11:52 > 1:11:56people will welcome. We have seen that widely welcomed in the industry

1:11:56 > 1:12:00already.The problem is, this is not the prime minister being in control,

1:12:00 > 1:12:04is it? Shias reacting to events rather than directing them. You say

1:12:04 > 1:12:08it is together those two departments, but that was not the

1:12:08 > 1:12:12initial plan. The plan was the Justine Greening the move, and she

1:12:12 > 1:12:17said no thanks, I am off. And for Jeremy Hunt to move, and he said

1:12:17 > 1:12:21that her decision was the wrong one, and this is what he would be doing.

1:12:21 > 1:12:26That is not a prime minister in control.Well, as tempting as it is

1:12:26 > 1:12:29to get into speculation and gossip about what may have happened, what I

1:12:29 > 1:12:34am focused on is, as we set on the Andrew Marr Show, driving that

1:12:34 > 1:12:39domestic agenda, making sure we are recognising and dealing with some of

1:12:39 > 1:12:43the real challenges we face in the country, providing the homes that we

1:12:43 > 1:12:50need, with a brilliant Secretary of State in Sajid Javvid, and doing

1:12:50 > 1:12:53that important piece of work about bringing health and social care

1:12:53 > 1:12:57together, to make sure we are able to deliver a really coherent package

1:12:57 > 1:13:01for people in the health sector going forward. If you look at some

1:13:01 > 1:13:05of the outlines today, the Health Secretary has warmly welcome this

1:13:05 > 1:13:10change.I understand where you are coming from, and I am not trying to

1:13:10 > 1:13:15undermine the prime minister. I am asking genuine questions, and a lot

1:13:15 > 1:13:18of politics is about perception. The perception after what we saw

1:13:18 > 1:13:22yesterday is that Theresa May is not in control of this government.

1:13:22 > 1:13:25Obviously you won't be surprised to know I entirely disagree with that.

1:13:25 > 1:13:30In a reshuffle, by definition, people change. My role has changed,

1:13:30 > 1:13:35becoming chairman of the party, and moving forward, it is a great party

1:13:35 > 1:13:40with some great people and while wonderful volunteers activists

1:13:40 > 1:13:44around the country. We have seen some great new faces, brilliant

1:13:44 > 1:13:49people, having more women around the Cabinet table than we have had

1:13:49 > 1:13:52before, something the Prime Minister is very focused on doing. And we are

1:13:52 > 1:13:55blessed to have some great talent across the Conservative Party in

1:13:55 > 1:13:58Parliament, and you will see more of that as the reshuffle continues.

1:13:58 > 1:14:03We're only just getting into the wider part the reshuffle, with our

1:14:03 > 1:14:05ministers and Parliamentary undersecretary is being appointed

1:14:05 > 1:14:08through the course of the day.You will know that polling data

1:14:08 > 1:14:12suggested your party struggle to reach those under the age of 30. In

1:14:12 > 1:14:17your new role, how do you rebrand the party? How do you sell the Tory

1:14:17 > 1:14:21party to those voters in particular? Well, we have got a job to do to

1:14:21 > 1:14:25make sure that we are able to outline the people across the

1:14:25 > 1:14:28country, of all age groups, about why what we are doing in government

1:14:28 > 1:14:32and what we offer in the future in government is good for the United

1:14:32 > 1:14:36Kingdom as a whole, regardless of age, sex, or where you live in the

1:14:36 > 1:14:40United Kingdom. We want to deliver for everybody. I have been very

1:14:40 > 1:14:47fortunate to be joined by a really good team, with Ben, and Andrew

1:14:47 > 1:14:51Jones, and a whole team of people looking at how we get the message

1:14:51 > 1:14:54out, about why what we are doing in government is so important to our

1:14:54 > 1:14:59country. To make sure that people have the security of a job for them

1:14:59 > 1:15:02and their family in the future. The confidence of having a health

1:15:02 > 1:15:05service which can deliver and look after them and their families. And

1:15:05 > 1:15:09that why the strength of the economy to deliver for the United Kingdom in

1:15:09 > 1:15:12the future as we leave the European Union.With that in mind, and

1:15:12 > 1:15:15returning to what happened with Justine Greening, and that diversity

1:15:15 > 1:15:19you are talking about, how damaging is it to have the sacking of a

1:15:19 > 1:15:22prominent female minister? With this mail, stale and pale looking

1:15:22 > 1:15:27Conservative Party, that really hasn't happened.Well, you have more

1:15:27 > 1:15:30women around the Cabinet table than you have before.In senior

1:15:30 > 1:15:34positions?These are really powerful people. I have worked with Claire

1:15:34 > 1:15:38Perry in the past, she is a fantastic addition to the Cabinet,

1:15:38 > 1:15:42and the equality and diversity agenda, which the Home Secretary

1:15:42 > 1:15:48will now take care of, the brilliant Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, and with

1:15:48 > 1:15:55a woman as our Home Secretary and prime minister, it is a really

1:15:55 > 1:15:58diverse Cabinet with a wide range of interests. Not just about whether it

1:15:58 > 1:16:02is male or female, but the backgrounds they come from, which we

1:16:02 > 1:16:05as a country represent, and that we all have something in common, which

1:16:05 > 1:16:15is doing the best thing for the United Kingdom and of a body in it.

1:16:15 > 1:16:18The junior ministers will be working across

1:16:18 > 1:16:19The junior ministers will be working across departments. You can look

1:16:19 > 1:16:22forward to seeing some good fresh talent coming through and a really

1:16:22 > 1:16:26diverse government being put in place across all departments.

1:16:26 > 1:16:33Brandon Lewis, thank you for your time. All the best for your new job.

1:16:33 > 1:16:39It's still not over yet. The longest reshuffle, isn't it?

1:16:39 > 1:16:42Retailers haven't had the Christmas they were hoping for -

1:16:42 > 1:16:49the weakest growth in non-food sales since records began.

1:16:49 > 1:16:56We have spent more money on food. It's cost us more. The supermarket

1:16:56 > 1:17:00sales figures look good. Morrison's figures have come out. They have had

1:17:00 > 1:17:12a good Christmas. Their sales are up 2.8%. They have had a particularly

1:17:12 > 1:17:16good Christmas. If you look at the retailers which are not selling

1:17:16 > 1:17:20food, they are the ones who have struggled because we haven't had as

1:17:20 > 1:17:27much money to spend on things like clothes. Even gifts as well. If you

1:17:27 > 1:17:36compare the supermarket to the non- feud retails.I was talking about

1:17:36 > 1:17:42the importance of discounting. When Mothercare tried to recoup money

1:17:42 > 1:17:48after not discounting, that was interesting.They have had a tough

1:17:48 > 1:17:54time. They share price has gone to the lowest average has ever been.

1:17:54 > 1:18:02Debenhams as well. It's also about the ones which don't have a big on

1:18:02 > 1:18:06line presence. Morrison's say their sales on line are up 10%. They were

1:18:06 > 1:18:11seen as being a bit behind the times. If you look at someone like

1:18:11 > 1:18:15Debenhams, they are still very old school and the fact they have the

1:18:15 > 1:18:20big stores on High Street which is struggling. That has really hit them

1:18:20 > 1:18:26hard. It is a story of two halves but it's a lot to do with the fact

1:18:26 > 1:18:30that we are spending more money on food. That's meant we have had to

1:18:30 > 1:18:39cut back on other areas.Good morning. This is Breakfast. It's

1:18:39 > 1:18:54about time we got some weather with Carol. It's a bit chilly out there.

1:18:54 > 1:19:02A cold start but not as cold as it was yesterday. In Perth, it is 13

1:19:02 > 1:19:05degrees warmer than it was yesterday. The cloud is thick enough

1:19:05 > 1:19:06for some drizzle.

1:19:06 > 1:19:09yesterday. The cloud is thick enough for some drizzle. The most of

1:19:09 > 1:19:13Scotland, that is also the case. Across the north-west, under clear

1:19:13 > 1:19:20skies by night, a cold start to the day. Some frost around as well. For

1:19:20 > 1:19:23northern England and north-west England, around Cumbria, the skies.

1:19:23 > 1:19:29A touch of frost. For the rest of northern England, it is cloudy. As

1:19:29 > 1:19:38we comes out through the Midlands, again, a lot of cloud around. Again,

1:19:38 > 1:19:48some hill fog. A murky start to the day. Northwest Wales, seeing some

1:19:48 > 1:19:58brightness. Northwest Wales, we should see it brighten up a time

1:19:58 > 1:20:04across parts of sex. By the end of the afternoon, a weather front will

1:20:04 > 1:20:13be coming in across western parts of the UK. Southwest England, also

1:20:13 > 1:20:19Southwest Wales. Strengthening winds will accompany this. Along Southern

1:20:19 > 1:20:26counties, about seven, nine degrees. Still cold implies, Newcastle.

1:20:26 > 1:20:30Through the evening, this weather front will push through the

1:20:30 > 1:20:37north-east. It will break up as it does. The rain will be heavy. We

1:20:37 > 1:20:42will see some snow across higher ground. Generally, it is a weakening

1:20:42 > 1:20:49feature. Behind it, ice on surfaces and also some patchy fog. As we head

1:20:49 > 1:20:57on through tomorrow, a bit of?. We think through the afternoon, it will

1:20:57 > 1:21:00tend to linger across north-east Scotland and the Northern Isles.

1:21:00 > 1:21:06Lovely blue sky. A fair bit of sunshine around tomorrow. Nothing

1:21:06 > 1:21:13great to write home about tomorrow. We're looking at between eight and

1:21:13 > 1:21:1710 degrees. Around this band of rain, hanging on to the miles

1:21:17 > 1:21:22around. It's quite unsettled and mobile as we head towards the rest

1:21:22 > 1:21:34of the week. I was unsure which screen to look.

1:21:34 > 1:21:36of the week. I was unsure which screen to look. We are talking about

1:21:36 > 1:21:45what we can do to save electricity. Turning down the thermostat? All

1:21:45 > 1:21:50sorts of things.

1:21:50 > 1:21:52It's something children have been learning

1:21:52 > 1:21:54about for a new BBC science project.

1:21:54 > 1:21:56Jayne McCubbin is at Balcurvie Primary School for us this

1:21:56 > 1:22:00morning to find out more.

1:22:00 > 1:22:10Yes, good morning. Should we give Balcurvie whoop whoop? Thank you. If

1:22:10 > 1:22:14you've never been involved or seen the terrific scientific project from

1:22:14 > 1:22:20BBC, let me fill you in. It involves real schoolchildren. 8000 schools

1:22:20 > 1:22:28across the country taking part in real experiments. Doctor Linda Webb

1:22:28 > 1:22:33here from the University of Edinburgh. To come up with some

1:22:33 > 1:22:42really interesting scientific results. Have a look at this. This

1:22:42 > 1:22:51is what they are looking into. Power. Not this kind of power but

1:22:51 > 1:22:56the stuff used to power up a school like this school in Fife.

1:22:56 > 1:23:00Experiments have been taking place here and in hundreds of other

1:23:00 > 1:23:04schools involving thousands of children in collaboration with

1:23:04 > 1:23:08academics at Edinburgh University. The results of which will give you a

1:23:08 > 1:23:11good idea of what is happening across the country.Absolutely, the

1:23:11 > 1:23:16children are sending in their metre readings. We are also getting an

1:23:16 > 1:23:20idea about the temperatures and the clouds. It impacts how could they

1:23:20 > 1:23:26are at the moment. We will look at that date across the whole of the UK

1:23:26 > 1:23:30all the schools sending us the information.Children have learnt

1:23:30 > 1:23:35which power sources help protect the environment. From the wind and the

1:23:35 > 1:23:42sun. And those which cause the most harm. That is fossil fuels. Oil,

1:23:42 > 1:23:49gas, coal. And they have become electric detectives, working out how

1:23:49 > 1:23:53much power is being used and how much power can be saved. But around

1:23:53 > 1:23:5930% of power in the UK wasted every year, the potential is huge.Science

1:23:59 > 1:24:07and maths and designing posters. Hopefully, we are going to have a

1:24:07 > 1:24:12big impact on the school.Because the ultimate aim is to try and make

1:24:12 > 1:24:19some savings, isn't it? This week, we are going to do it again.

1:24:19 > 1:24:24Hopefully after assembly, we do a big mission around the school and we

1:24:24 > 1:24:29will have a drop in the nil -- the energy we have used. I have been

1:24:29 > 1:24:34chatting. I have been chatting to some of the children. I know they

1:24:34 > 1:24:41are keen to dob in some of the grown-ups. At any of the grown-ups

1:24:41 > 1:24:49been misbehaving in this regard? Yes.Miss Lisa computer on the lot.

1:24:49 > 1:24:58I've seen Miss Stevenson that the phone on standby. She never did.

1:24:58 > 1:25:03Miss, you must do better.Everyone can do their bit. We've heard the

1:25:03 > 1:25:07adage save the pennies, look after the pounds. But we want to save the

1:25:07 > 1:25:11Watts to look after the kilowatts. And hopefully reduce carbon

1:25:11 > 1:25:16emissions and help save the planet. More power to them.

1:25:16 > 1:25:20ROARS!

1:25:20 > 1:25:26Well, the results are in. We know what the results are. Don't give

1:25:26 > 1:25:32anything away. Doctor Linda Webb is outside. We would chat you a bit

1:25:32 > 1:25:35more in a moment as we go head-to-head. We will see who can

1:25:35 > 1:25:39generate the most power to win the race. We will chat about these

1:25:39 > 1:25:47results. Very interesting. That is chat to Mrs McDougal. The kids have

1:25:47 > 1:25:53really engage with this science project. They absolutely have. They

1:25:53 > 1:25:59have become champion nags. Constantly telling us to turn it

1:25:59 > 1:26:08off. It is that simple. I am told by the Carbon Trust that 6% of all

1:26:08 > 1:26:13electricity usage is used by schools so the potential for savings. It's

1:26:13 > 1:26:25huge.Can we have the drum roll please? They worked really hard. The

1:26:25 > 1:26:37result was what? I am really afraid to see we use more energy. You have

1:26:37 > 1:26:44the analysis. Cody, what went wrong? We have parties with the Christmas

1:26:44 > 1:26:51lights and amplifiers. What happened to the temperatures? No wonder. Let

1:26:51 > 1:27:00us go chat to Doctor Linda Webb. Can you start the lap monitor? Let's

1:27:00 > 1:27:07race as we chat. Go. In science, things don't always go exactly as

1:27:07 > 1:27:20you expect. Why is it so useful. It's really difficult. Not many

1:27:20 > 1:27:25smart metres around. Having the children send all the data means

1:27:25 > 1:27:33they can do the analysis.And make loads of savings. Thank you kids in

1:27:33 > 1:27:47the classroom. Give everybody away from home. More later. The last time

1:27:47 > 1:27:52we played Scalectrix, it was so hard. There must have been a dodgy

1:27:52 > 1:31:21connection. Right

1:31:21 > 1:31:21staying above zero.

1:31:21 > 1:31:23I am back in half an hour.

1:31:30 > 1:31:32Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:31:32 > 1:31:36Here is a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News:

1:31:36 > 1:31:38The newly appointed chairman of the Conservative Party,

1:31:38 > 1:31:41Brandon Lewis, is insisting Theresa May is fully in control

1:31:41 > 1:31:43of her Cabinet, despite yesterday's reshuffle not

1:31:43 > 1:31:44going according to plan.

1:31:44 > 1:31:46Education secretary Justine Greening resigned after refusing an offer

1:31:46 > 1:31:49to become Work and Pensions Secretary, and Jeremy Hunt turned

1:31:49 > 1:31:52down a move to business, to remain as Health Secretary,

1:31:52 > 1:31:53with added responsibilities.

1:31:53 > 1:31:55The reshuffle will continue today, with more ministerial roles expected

1:31:55 > 1:32:12to go to women, younger MPs, and those from ethnic minorities.

1:32:12 > 1:32:17If you look at what the Prime Minister outlined yesterday in terms

1:32:17 > 1:32:20of how the departments are working, there's some good people coming in.

1:32:20 > 1:32:23We've got more women around the Cabinet table than we have

1:32:23 > 1:32:24ever had before.

1:32:24 > 1:32:30We have actually very clear focus.

1:32:30 > 1:32:35Toby Young has resigned after a petition calling for him to go. In

1:32:35 > 1:32:39an article in the Spectator he says his appointment had become a

1:32:39 > 1:32:43distraction from the board's vital work of broadening access to higher

1:32:43 > 1:32:47education. It follows accusations he made offensive comments on Twitter.

1:32:47 > 1:32:52In an interview with the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, Theresa May appeared

1:32:52 > 1:32:56to back Mr Young, saying he had done exceedingly good work in relation to

1:32:56 > 1:32:58Free Schools.

1:32:58 > 1:33:00North Korea has agreed to send athletes accompanied by senior

1:33:00 > 1:33:03officials to the Winter Olympics in South Korea next month.

1:33:03 > 1:33:06The two countries have held their first talks for more

1:33:06 > 1:33:09than two years, in the Demilitarised Zone that divides the Peninsula.

1:33:09 > 1:33:11The South Korean delegation has also proposed more contacts

1:33:11 > 1:33:14between the two countries, in what appears to be a significant

1:33:14 > 1:33:16move to lower tension in the region.

1:33:16 > 1:33:19Parents in Wales could be banned from smacking their children,

1:33:19 > 1:33:20under new plans.

1:33:20 > 1:33:22The Welsh Government is consulting on the changes,

1:33:22 > 1:33:25and people will be given 12 weeks to make their views known.

1:33:25 > 1:33:32Scotland is in the process of introducing a similar ban.

1:33:32 > 1:33:35Almost 100 firefighters have been tackling a fire at a paint factory

1:33:35 > 1:33:36in North London overnight.

1:33:36 > 1:33:39London Fire Brigade said 15 engines were sent to the scene,

1:33:39 > 1:33:40after eyewitnesses heard explosions.

1:33:40 > 1:33:43Workers left the factory safely before crews arrived.

1:33:43 > 1:33:47The cause of the fire is still being investigated.

1:33:47 > 1:33:50A UK-wide ban on the manufacturing of cosmetics and care products

1:33:50 > 1:33:52containing microbeads has come into force today,

1:33:52 > 1:33:55in an attempt to cut down on the amount of plastic

1:33:55 > 1:34:00in our oceans.

1:34:00 > 1:34:03The beads, that are used in hundreds of facewashes and shower gels,

1:34:03 > 1:34:07are often ingested by sea animals, and can even end up entering

1:34:07 > 1:34:08our food chain.

1:34:08 > 1:34:11It will be followed by a wider ban on the sale of products containing

1:34:11 > 1:34:21microbeads later in the year.

1:34:21 > 1:34:25Still to come a little bit later on, we will be talking to Natalie Dormer

1:34:25 > 1:34:32on the BAFTA nominations. We had the speech from Oprah Winfrey, and even

1:34:32 > 1:34:36in the papers this morning people are talking about Oprah Winfrey for

1:34:36 > 1:34:41president, again.And thank you for your comments on smacking, Wales are

1:34:41 > 1:34:46considering banning it. Donna says teaching respect and strong

1:34:46 > 1:34:53boundaries are always needed, but smacking is not ever, and many

1:34:53 > 1:34:59different views as well.We will be discussing both sides on that one.

1:34:59 > 1:35:04And in sports, yesterday at this time we were talking about video

1:35:04 > 1:35:10assisted refereeing. The first game using it in this country took place

1:35:10 > 1:35:15yesterday, and it has been greatly discussed.The discussion rages

1:35:15 > 1:35:20about whether football needs it, whether it is making the game more

1:35:20 > 1:35:25bland, that you can't rely on the referee, that everyone weighs in on

1:35:25 > 1:35:29whether things were offside or handball. This could well eradicate

1:35:29 > 1:35:35any kind of discussion over decisions like that. Typically, last

1:35:35 > 1:35:40night, it was Glenn Murray's goal, and there was vague doubt about

1:35:40 > 1:35:45whether it was a handball when it went in for Brighton. It wasn't a

1:35:45 > 1:35:48full use of the video assisted refereeing. He didn't have to go

1:35:48 > 1:35:54over to the screen and watch the replays himself. At the video

1:35:54 > 1:36:00assistant referee popped up and said that was fine, I don't think it was

1:36:00 > 1:36:04handball. But we will get to see how it is used more competently in the

1:36:04 > 1:36:08next few days, with the League Cup game coming up.

1:36:08 > 1:36:10An English football first - the Video assistant referee,

1:36:10 > 1:36:14or VAR, as it is known, made its debut as Brighton beat

1:36:14 > 1:36:16Crystal Palace 2-1 in the FA Cup third round.

1:36:16 > 1:36:19Screens were available for referee Andre Marriner at the side

1:36:19 > 1:36:22of the pitch, should he have needed to see any replays of incidents.

1:36:22 > 1:36:25And, when Glenn Murray scored a late winner for Brighton,

1:36:25 > 1:36:27did the final touch come off his arm?

1:36:27 > 1:36:29Well, Marriner consulted the video referee team,

1:36:29 > 1:36:31and they were happy it hadn't.

1:36:31 > 1:36:33You can make your mind up from the evidence,

1:36:33 > 1:36:36although it didn't stop Palace players making their feelings

1:36:36 > 1:36:36known at full-time.

1:36:36 > 1:36:45But manager Roy Hodgson was more philosophical.

1:36:45 > 1:36:47From where we were standing, and watching, it looked

1:36:47 > 1:36:50for all the world that he had handled it.

1:36:50 > 1:36:53And the players who were close by, they thought so too.

1:36:53 > 1:36:56But, to be fair, when you see lots of times there's a very good

1:36:56 > 1:37:00case for the VAR and the referee to make that he didn't

1:37:00 > 1:37:01actually handle it.

1:37:01 > 1:37:05It was very, very close, so I have no complaints about that.

1:37:05 > 1:37:07Brighton will face Middlesbrough in the fourth round.

1:37:07 > 1:37:09Among the standout ties, Manchester United travel

1:37:09 > 1:37:10to League two Yeovil.

1:37:10 > 1:37:12The lowest-ranked side left, Newport County, are at home

1:37:12 > 1:37:15to Spurs, while Manchester City have been drawn away

1:37:15 > 1:37:16to Cardiff or Mansfield.

1:37:16 > 1:37:28The full draw is on the BBC Sport website.

1:37:28 > 1:37:30They have only just finished picking up the confetti in Sydney,

1:37:30 > 1:37:32after Australia's Ashes victory.

1:37:32 > 1:37:33So where next for England?

1:37:33 > 1:37:36Well, they name their Test squad to face New Zealand later,

1:37:36 > 1:37:39with head coach Trevor Bayliss saying he plans to quit

1:37:39 > 1:37:40after next year's Ashes.

1:37:40 > 1:37:42I've already told Andrew Strauss, probably 12 months ago,

1:37:42 > 1:37:45that September 2019 I'm contracted to, and that would see me out.

1:37:45 > 1:37:48I've never been anywhere more than four or five years.

1:37:48 > 1:37:51Whether you're going well or not, I've always felt that around

1:37:51 > 1:37:53about that four-year mark is time to change.

1:37:53 > 1:37:56A new voice and a different approach, slightly different

1:37:56 > 1:38:07approach from someone, just reinvigorates things.

1:38:07 > 1:38:10Widnes Vikings centre Kato Ottio has died at the age of 23,

1:38:10 > 1:38:13after suffering what has been described as a sudden health

1:38:13 > 1:38:14issue in training.

1:38:14 > 1:38:17The Papua New Guinea international only joined the club in December,

1:38:17 > 1:38:20and was to link up with his new teammates next week,

1:38:20 > 1:38:21ahead of the new season.

1:38:21 > 1:38:24Widnes CEO James Rule said Kato was an incredibly talented player,

1:38:24 > 1:38:32with a bright future.

1:38:32 > 1:38:34Defending champion Sam Sunderland has retaken the lead

1:38:34 > 1:38:36of the Dakar Rally, after the third stage.

1:38:36 > 1:38:39The man from Poole nicknamed 'Super Sam' had to negotiate his way

1:38:39 > 1:38:43through the Peruvian desert in order to regain the lead that he had lost

1:38:43 > 1:38:44after stage two.

1:38:44 > 1:38:47He finished over three minutes ahead of his nearest riders,

1:38:47 > 1:38:48and has a four-minute lead overall.

1:38:48 > 1:38:50Johanna Konta's preparations for this month's Australian Open

1:38:50 > 1:38:52continued in Sydney, but the defending champion

1:38:52 > 1:38:54lost her opening match to Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska.

1:38:54 > 1:38:57Meanwhile, the other British number one, Andy Murray,

1:38:57 > 1:39:00has had hip surgery in Melbourne, and says he hopes to be playing

1:39:00 > 1:39:02again in time for the grass-court season.

1:39:02 > 1:39:05He posted this on social media saying he is looking forward

1:39:05 > 1:39:10to starting rehab.

1:39:10 > 1:39:13He has not played a competitive match since Wimbledon in July.

1:39:13 > 1:39:16Now, spare a thought for Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios,

1:39:16 > 1:39:19who was hit in the face by Alex Zverev during a doubles

1:39:19 > 1:39:20match in Sydney.

1:39:20 > 1:39:24But luckily a cuddle from his German opponent was enough to get Kyrgios

1:39:24 > 1:39:28back on his feet.

1:39:28 > 1:39:36Kind of point-blank range. We were talking earlier about whether Boris

1:39:36 > 1:39:40Becker could hit a ball through you. That was this that you believed

1:39:40 > 1:39:47you'd uncovered.Someone told me at when I was much younger, and I

1:39:47 > 1:39:53questioned it...We have consulted the finest positions and

1:39:53 > 1:39:58aerodynamicists in the country, and I don't think it can happen. People

1:39:58 > 1:40:03have been saying if you hit a stone really hard... But not a soft tennis

1:40:03 > 1:40:10ball.Thank you for clearing that up.And we are talking sport of a

1:40:10 > 1:40:14kind, because nutrition is a part of sport.

1:40:14 > 1:40:16It is the latest superfood endorsed by bloggers and celebrities,

1:40:16 > 1:40:18yet it contains more saturated fat than lard.

1:40:18 > 1:40:21Is coconut oil really all it's cracked up to be?

1:40:21 > 1:40:24Well, the first human trial comparing its health benefits

1:40:24 > 1:40:27with that of butter and olive oil has been carried out in the UK,

1:40:27 > 1:40:29and the results are surprising.

1:40:29 > 1:40:30Professor Katie Khaw, from Cambridge University,

1:40:30 > 1:40:33where the study was conducted, joins us from our London newsroom,

1:40:33 > 1:40:36and dietician Nichola Ludlam-Raine is here in the studio.

1:40:36 > 1:40:40Good morning, both. Thank you very much for joining us. First of all,

1:40:40 > 1:40:47what have you found?Good morning. Well, we were rather surprised

1:40:47 > 1:40:51because coconut oil, as you know, is that only 5% saturated fat. We

1:40:51 > 1:40:56expected it to raise LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol

1:40:56 > 1:41:00which increases risk of heart disease but in this short-term trial

1:41:00 > 1:41:05we found that in fact it didn't raise LDL compared with butter and

1:41:05 > 1:41:08were similar to olive oil. The other surprising finding was that it

1:41:08 > 1:41:16seemed to raise HDL cholesterol, which is the good cholesterol, in

1:41:16 > 1:41:22comparison to both olive oil and butter.And it has been recommended

1:41:22 > 1:41:26in a lot of new cook books. What does that mean for people who use

1:41:26 > 1:41:30coconut oil?I think it means we don't necessarily have to stop using

1:41:30 > 1:41:35it, because if we are concerned about health, but I don't think it

1:41:35 > 1:41:39changes current dietary recommendations, in terms of being

1:41:39 > 1:41:43prudent to limit saturated fat. But what it does point to is the need to

1:41:43 > 1:41:48have much more evidence on all the new foods being introduced into our

1:41:48 > 1:41:52diets. We are using lots of new oils such as coconut oil and soya bean

1:41:52 > 1:41:57oil, and we know very little about the health effects of them. The

1:41:57 > 1:42:02other thing it points to is that most recommendations are now focused

1:42:02 > 1:42:06on health patterns, dietary patterns, if we are interested in

1:42:06 > 1:42:11health, rather than just specific foods.On the studio table we have

1:42:11 > 1:42:18some coconut oil, some olive oil, and some butter. Coconut oil has a

1:42:18 > 1:42:23lovely whiff to it, and it is trendy to use at the moment. If I was to

1:42:23 > 1:42:27offer you these to go home with tonight, the cook with, which would

1:42:27 > 1:42:31you choose and why?Well, coconut oil is very trendy, but the one I

1:42:31 > 1:42:36would choose the heart health is olive oil. We are trying to get the

1:42:36 > 1:42:39message across that olive oil, unsaturated fats, is best for heart

1:42:39 > 1:42:43health, and the practical recommendation is to have two kinds

1:42:43 > 1:42:49of olive oil, the more refined yellow one for cooking, and

1:42:49 > 1:42:52extra-virgin olive oil, the green one, which is good for salad

1:42:52 > 1:43:00dressing and pass the sources. It will say that on the label -- pasta

1:43:00 > 1:43:04sauces.Were you surprised that it didn't affect cholesterol level, as

1:43:04 > 1:43:09people would expect that it might? It is really interesting research

1:43:09 > 1:43:13but what we have to keep in mind is that it is a relatively small study.

1:43:13 > 1:43:17There were 30 participants in each group. The study was not controlled

1:43:17 > 1:43:20so we don't know what other foods that participants were eating and it

1:43:20 > 1:43:25was a relatively short duration, so it only lasted four weeks.Would you

1:43:25 > 1:43:30like to look further into it?Yes, I think this highlights how important

1:43:30 > 1:43:34it is to understand a lot more about the foods we eat, and the whole

1:43:34 > 1:43:39story about that is far more nuanced. It used to be don't eat a

1:43:39 > 1:43:43lot of fat, then it was saturated fat, and now the evidence is

1:43:43 > 1:43:48increasingly clear that different saturated fatty acids have different

1:43:48 > 1:43:52health effects and they need to be taken in the context of an entire

1:43:52 > 1:43:57diet.Because NHS recommendations would say olive oil, and is that

1:43:57 > 1:44:02simply because it is unsaturated rather than saturated?Exactly, and

1:44:02 > 1:44:06the benefits of olive oil go beyond the effect of cholesterol, so it has

1:44:06 > 1:44:12anti-inflammatory properties to it as well. So the recommendations are

1:44:12 > 1:44:16to limit saturated fat to 20 g a day and on the basis of this one small

1:44:16 > 1:44:19study, the research will not be changing national guidelines.What

1:44:19 > 1:44:28does 20 g look like?A tablespoon of olive oil has only two grams of

1:44:28 > 1:44:33saturated fat, so quite a small amount.Some people have been

1:44:33 > 1:44:38getting in contact, some use coconut oil to brush their teeth and some

1:44:38 > 1:44:42give it to their dogs as well.If it is good for your hair and skin, keep

1:44:42 > 1:44:49it to that, but put olive oil inside your body.Thank you very much.

1:44:49 > 1:44:52Those olive oil producers I was telling you about will be happy with

1:44:52 > 1:44:57the guidelines.For more information on the actual study, it will feature

1:44:57 > 1:45:07on Trust Me, I am a Doctor, or you can catch it on iPlayer as well.We

1:45:07 > 1:45:28could be a island. Carol can tell us we are quite clearly not.

1:45:28 > 1:45:31of us. Nonetheless, it's going to be a grey day ahead. A lot of cloud

1:45:31 > 1:45:38around. The clouds and spots of drizzle.

1:45:38 > 1:45:45fog as well. Later on in the day, a front comes in from the West.

1:45:45 > 1:45:47rain. You feel that across western parts of Northern Ireland. One of

1:45:47 > 1:45:53two showers. Four Northwest Scotland, a cold and frosty start.

1:45:53 > 1:45:58Sunshine from the word go. The rest of Scotland looking at a mostly

1:45:58 > 1:46:05cloudy day. Again, will murky conditions. Some sunshine from the

1:46:05 > 1:46:12word go. The rest of northern England, a lot of cloud. As we sink

1:46:12 > 1:46:17further south, cloudy. Parts of Essex and Kent could brighten up

1:46:17 > 1:46:22this afternoon. The win strengthening across the south-west

1:46:22 > 1:46:32of England. That is heralding the arrival of rain. Now, the ramble

1:46:32 > 1:46:37erratically moved eastwards as we head through the evening. It will be

1:46:37 > 1:46:44heavy as it battles across. Some hill snow in northern England.

1:46:44 > 1:46:54Behind it, the risk of ice. We'll also see some patchy fog. Tomorrow,

1:46:54 > 1:47:00the weather front continues. We think at the moment, it will clear

1:47:00 > 1:47:10eastern England. It will not be here until overnight. Around this band of

1:47:10 > 1:47:20rain, relatively mild. In Glasgow in Newcastle kindly -- only six

1:47:20 > 1:47:27degrees. A lot of blue sky coming in. As we had from Wednesday night

1:47:27 > 1:47:32into Thursday morning, there is going to be some fog around.

1:47:32 > 1:47:37Especially across Northern Ireland and East Wales. Some of that will

1:47:37 > 1:47:41take its time to clear. Some of that will lift into low cloud. Quite grey

1:47:41 > 1:47:49once again. Further north, brighter skies. Some sunshine. Temperatures

1:47:49 > 1:48:01again, nothing to write home about. As we have into Friday, once again,

1:48:01 > 1:48:05some patchy fog first thing. A lot of dry weather around. Some sunshine

1:48:05 > 1:48:15coming through. Wet and windy weather. Thank you very much and see

1:48:15 > 1:48:15you

1:48:15 > 1:48:19weather. Thank you very much and see you shortly. Hopefully you didn't

1:48:19 > 1:48:27hear that at home. I was sneezing. One in five travellers have been

1:48:27 > 1:48:31approached the compensation claim even if they had not been ill. This

1:48:31 > 1:48:36is like if you get one of those cold calls, you have been involved in a

1:48:36 > 1:48:46car crash. It's a bit like that. This is all to do with holiday

1:48:46 > 1:48:50sickness. It's to do with a loophole in the law which means legal firms

1:48:50 > 1:48:57can charge whatever they like. It can be so lucrative. Some companies

1:48:57 > 1:49:07are cold calling people. Funny that they can be ill. There has been a

1:49:07 > 1:49:17sixfold increase. The regulator is trying to crack down. This is

1:49:17 > 1:49:28interesting. If you are sick on holiday, tells bit about it. Some

1:49:28 > 1:49:35people can do it.Any compensation will not be covered by claims

1:49:35 > 1:49:42management company. What's happening is genuine cases have been lost. All

1:49:42 > 1:49:49these fake claims. Bombarding people of phone calls, texts, they stop

1:49:49 > 1:50:00messages.That is flawed.It is broad and most people don't know

1:50:00 > 1:50:05that. We did some research. The vast majority of people don't know that

1:50:05 > 1:50:10you can be fined it. A couple from Merseyside just last year, they were

1:50:10 > 1:50:18jailed. The evidence showed they were dancing around the pool, having

1:50:18 > 1:50:24drinks, while they should have been in bed with diarrhoea. These people,

1:50:24 > 1:50:29unfortunately people have been told there was this money they can claim.

1:50:29 > 1:50:34They are not told about the risks of it. The government has been taking

1:50:34 > 1:50:39action. What we need to do is make sure these changes, so it's not so

1:50:39 > 1:50:43lucrative to go on foreign holidays to claim against those. Any changes

1:50:43 > 1:50:48are brought in in April. That clampdown is needed as soon as

1:50:48 > 1:50:53possible.How they getting away with it, these claims management

1:50:53 > 1:50:59companies?One of the things we have been calling for, cold calling

1:50:59 > 1:51:06generally. Cold calling, we see whiplash cages -- whiplash cases.

1:51:06 > 1:51:15Holiday sickness as part of that. There should be a ban on that type

1:51:15 > 1:51:25of cold calling. Phone calls, com -- being bombarded with research. These

1:51:25 > 1:51:31calls are made every single year. We hope that MPs will seek cold calling

1:51:31 > 1:51:37in general.What about if you are somebody who has been on holiday.

1:51:37 > 1:51:41You get a call from one of these claims managers. What would your

1:51:41 > 1:51:50advice be?If you take evidence of what has happened, go to a claims

1:51:50 > 1:51:56management company. They take a big cut of it. If you have been ill and

1:51:56 > 1:52:07it happens, you can go to your holiday. What's happening is, those

1:52:07 > 1:52:18cases have been done. How would you define it? People are eating their

1:52:18 > 1:52:27Breakfast, if you have lost time because you are stuck in bed. Those

1:52:27 > 1:52:34of the sort of things that people will claim. If you just sort of were

1:52:34 > 1:52:39contacted out of the blue and were told there is a pot of money. It is

1:52:39 > 1:52:43risk-free. That is not actually true. People aren't aware of those

1:52:43 > 1:53:02risks.They give it putting that diplomatically. A bit of

1:53:02 > 1:53:07clarification needed.

1:53:07 > 1:53:13An eventful night of the globe -- at the Golden Globes yesterday. The

1:53:13 > 1:53:18announcement of this year 's BAFTA award nominations. Who has been

1:53:18 > 1:53:27nominated? Which films are up? Update us.Thank you very much.

1:53:27 > 1:53:36Those nominations have just been announced. The film leading the way

1:53:36 > 1:53:43is Sophia, were a mute clean-up played by Sally Hawkins falls in

1:53:43 > 1:53:51love with a mysterious sea creature. -- the film is The Shape of the

1:53:51 > 1:53:57Water. I am joined by the film writer Jason Solomons.It led the

1:53:57 > 1:54:01way with nominations at the Golden Globes. It won the Golden Lion in

1:54:01 > 1:54:28Venice. Of course the Hobbit. It is an interspecies romance.Does Sally

1:54:28 > 1:54:34Hawkins stand a chance of winning? She is a big favourite with

1:54:34 > 1:54:37adapters. She is also in the second Paddington film, she plays the mum

1:54:37 > 1:54:45as well. She does stand a chance. I think as we saw the Golden Globes,

1:54:45 > 1:54:50trouble converting 12 nominations into something collating that. She

1:54:50 > 1:55:00is up against a powerful position. She is up against Three Billboards,

1:55:00 > 1:55:06which is out this week. A powerful performance from Frances McDormand.

1:55:06 > 1:55:14She won an Oscar in 1997. Probably the favourite to do so again.Equal

1:55:14 > 1:55:20in the number of nominations is Darkest Hour, at the Best Film, but

1:55:20 > 1:55:25-- Best British film and Best Actor the Gary Oldfield.Is he favourite

1:55:25 > 1:55:30question mark after the Golden Globes, he is. The Best Actor is the

1:55:30 > 1:55:43most patriotic category. We have Daniel Day Lewis. He is back. Also,

1:55:43 > 1:55:54the horror film Get Out, with Daniel Kaluuya, he is British. So many in

1:55:54 > 1:56:00that acting category.You talk about the Washington Post's effort to

1:56:00 > 1:56:09publish the Vietnam's war. Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks. It's interesting.

1:56:09 > 1:56:14I thought that might be a favourite with adapters. Those old-fashioned

1:56:14 > 1:56:20movies, newspapers, what are they? It's sort of been sidelined in

1:56:20 > 1:56:24favour of something a bit more experimental. That is becoming a bit

1:56:24 > 1:56:35more mainstream. Shape of Water is quite interesting. We see that with

1:56:35 > 1:56:39Three Billboards. Something that would come out at Sundance. Those

1:56:39 > 1:56:43kinds of films are seizing the mainstream. They give are talking to

1:56:43 > 1:56:47us. We'll find out who the winners are on Sunday the 18th of February.

1:56:47 > 1:57:00A bit later. We will speak to Natalie Dormer. We will speak with

1:57:00 > 1:57:06Natalie Dormer, who is also known for Game of Thrones. Joanna Lumley

1:57:06 > 2:00:39will host it. Thank you very much. I will recycle, I promise.

2:00:39 > 2:00:40I am back in half an hour.

2:00:46 > 2:00:49Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:00:49 > 2:00:51Theresa May's reshuffle doesn't quite go to plan

2:00:51 > 2:00:52as the Health Secretary resists a move,

2:00:52 > 2:00:53and the Education Secretary quits.

2:00:53 > 2:00:56Justine Greening refused the offer of a new job.

2:00:56 > 2:01:05Most other senior positions remain unchanged.

2:01:05 > 2:01:09Speaking to Breakfast in the last hour, the new Conservative Party

2:01:09 > 2:01:12chairman defended the reshuffle. More women around the Cabinet table

2:01:12 > 2:01:15than ever before, very clear focus.

2:01:29 > 2:01:35Good morning, it's Tuesday the ninth of January.

2:01:35 > 2:01:39Also for you on the programme this morning, North Korea agrees to send

2:01:39 > 2:01:43a team to the Winter Olympics in the South after the first high-level

2:01:43 > 2:01:45talks for more than two years.

2:01:45 > 2:01:47The supermarkets have had a good Christmas this year,

2:01:47 > 2:01:49but other retailers have been struggling -

2:01:49 > 2:01:52I'll be explaining why.

2:01:52 > 2:01:53In sport, a first for English football

2:01:53 > 2:01:55the video assistant referee system is used

2:01:55 > 2:01:58as Brighton beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

2:01:58 > 2:02:06And Carol has the weather.

2:02:06 > 2:02:10A cold start, not as cold as for some of us yesterday, a cloudy day

2:02:10 > 2:02:14with spots of drizzle, some bright skies in the north-west, later some

2:02:14 > 2:02:18rain coming in from the West, accompanied by strengthening winds.

2:02:18 > 2:02:22More detail on all of that in 15 minutes.

2:02:22 > 2:02:24The newly appointed chairman of the Conservative Party,

2:02:24 > 2:02:26Brandon Lewis, is insisting Theresa May

2:02:26 > 2:02:28is fully in control of her Cabinet,

2:02:28 > 2:02:31despite yesterday's reshuffle not going according to plan.

2:02:31 > 2:02:35Education Secretary Justine Greening resigned after

2:02:35 > 2:02:38refusing an offer to become Work and Pensions Secretary,

2:02:38 > 2:02:41and Jeremy Hunt turned down a move to Business

2:02:41 > 2:02:45to remain as Health Secretary with added responsibilities.

2:02:45 > 2:02:47The reshuffle will continue today,

2:02:47 > 2:02:49with more ministerial roles expected to go to women,

2:02:49 > 2:02:56younger MPs and those from ethnic minorities.

2:02:56 > 2:03:00I think, if you look at what the Prime Minister outlined yesterday in

2:03:00 > 2:03:04terms of how departments are working, some really good new people

2:03:04 > 2:03:07coming in, more women around the Cabinet table than ever before,

2:03:07 > 2:03:10we've got very clear focus.

2:03:10 > 2:03:11Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth

2:03:11 > 2:03:14is in Westminster this morning.

2:03:14 > 2:03:19We were talking about this and our ago, how the Government might

2:03:19 > 2:03:22respond, I am sure you heard from the new Conservative Party chairman

2:03:22 > 2:03:26on our programme, what did you make of his defence of what took place

2:03:26 > 2:03:32yesterday?Peas pointing out that what Theresa May is trying to do is

2:03:32 > 2:03:35diversify the Cabinet, and also the Conservative Party more generally,

2:03:35 > 2:03:40and that was really the aim of yesterday's reshuffle, the one that

2:03:40 > 2:03:44will continue today. And the first thing was for Theresa May to say,

2:03:44 > 2:03:48look, whatever happened last year, this is a new year, I will stab my

2:03:48 > 2:03:53authority on government, and the other arm of it was the idea of

2:03:53 > 2:03:56reinvigorating the party, for the Government to be more reflective and

2:03:56 > 2:04:02representative. It did not go to plan as, Justine Greening quit the

2:04:02 > 2:04:05Government rather than take the job she was offered, and Jeremy Hunt

2:04:05 > 2:04:10reportedly refused to move from his position as Health Secretary. When

2:04:10 > 2:04:14you look at the Cabinet now, there is no vast difference. There are a

2:04:14 > 2:04:18couple more women who will sit around the Cabinet table, but not in

2:04:18 > 2:04:21the most senior positions. Number Ten says there will be a host of

2:04:21 > 2:04:26junior appointments today, and they will be diverse, they will be

2:04:26 > 2:04:29representative of the country, and they will show the direction that

2:04:29 > 2:04:34Theresa May wants to take the party. Now, you can imagine there are some

2:04:34 > 2:04:37in Downing Street hoping that this continuation of the reshuffle goes

2:04:37 > 2:04:43more smoothly.Another slight hiccup this morning, those who watched the

2:04:43 > 2:04:46Andrew Marr programme on Sunday, Theresa May was asked about Toby

2:04:46 > 2:04:51Young and his appointment to the Office For Students, and today he

2:04:51 > 2:04:55has been throwing doubt on that role.Peas a well-known figure in

2:04:55 > 2:05:00the field of education, there was an immediate backlash after comments he

2:05:00 > 2:05:05had made on Twitter in the past, which people said were highly

2:05:05 > 2:05:08offensive, about women and disabled people, and there was a lot of

2:05:08 > 2:05:12pressure for him to go from that role. The Prime Minister said, as

2:05:12 > 2:05:16long as he doesn't make comments like that in the future, he can take

2:05:16 > 2:05:21the job, but he has decided to quit today, saying that while some of the

2:05:21 > 2:05:25reporting has made a caricature of him, he recognises what he said was

2:05:25 > 2:05:29wrong and he apologises for that. He said his position had become a

2:05:29 > 2:05:33distraction and he has chosen to go. What I think this shows is that not

2:05:33 > 2:05:37everything is plain sailing in Downing Street, and this will allow

2:05:37 > 2:05:42critics of Theresa May to question her judgment again.We shall

2:05:42 > 2:05:46continue to follow the reshuffle day two across the BBC throughout the

2:05:46 > 2:05:47rest of the day.

2:05:47 > 2:05:49North Korea has agreed to send athletes accompanied by senior

2:05:49 > 2:05:53officials to the Winter Olympics in South Korea next month.

2:05:53 > 2:05:56The two countries have held their first talks for more than two years

2:05:56 > 2:06:02in the demilitarised zone that divides the peninsula.

2:06:02 > 2:06:06Sophie Long told us what else was on the agenda.They are broadening the

2:06:06 > 2:06:10areas of discussion, we know they are talking about humanitarian

2:06:10 > 2:06:13issues, like the reunion of families who have been divided since the

2:06:13 > 2:06:18Korean War. I spoke to one man a few days ago who has not seen his sister

2:06:18 > 2:06:22for 70 years, so it is a hugely emotive issue in South Korea, and

2:06:22 > 2:06:27the South has proposed that reunions will take place over the lunar New

2:06:27 > 2:06:30Year, which coincides with the Winter Olympics. They are also set

2:06:30 > 2:06:34to discuss military issues as well, things like re-establishing the

2:06:34 > 2:06:39communication lines. We have one re-established last week, but there

2:06:39 > 2:06:48were, at their peak, 33 different lines connecting them. They will

2:06:48 > 2:06:52want to re-establish those lines so they can discuss the minor

2:06:52 > 2:06:55altercation that sometimes take place in the demilitarised zone,

2:06:55 > 2:06:59where these talks are taking place.

2:06:59 > 2:07:07Five men and a woman have been charged with being members of the

2:07:07 > 2:07:11banned group National Action, which was banned in December of 2016 after

2:07:11 > 2:07:14the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, said it was promoting violence and acts

2:07:14 > 2:07:19of terrorism. Almost 100 firefighters have been tackling a

2:07:19 > 2:07:23fire at a paint factory in North London overnight. London Fire

2:07:23 > 2:07:26Brigade said 15 engines were sent to the scene after eyewitnesses heard

2:07:26 > 2:07:30explosions. Workers left the factory safely before the crews arrived. The

2:07:30 > 2:07:35cause of the fire is still being investigated.

2:07:35 > 2:07:37A UK-wide ban on the manufacturing of cosmetics and care products

2:07:37 > 2:07:40containing microbeads has come into force today, in an attempt

2:07:40 > 2:07:42to cut down on the amount of plastic in our oceans.

2:07:42 > 2:07:46The beads that are used in hundreds of face washes and shower gels

2:07:46 > 2:07:48are often ingested by sea animals, and can even end up

2:07:48 > 2:07:49entering our food chain.

2:07:49 > 2:07:53It will be followed by a wider ban on the sale of products containing

2:07:53 > 2:07:58microbeads later in the year.

2:07:58 > 2:08:00The warning is very clear -

2:08:00 > 2:08:03never work in television with children and animals.

2:08:03 > 2:08:10But this reporter clearly hasn't heard the advice.

2:08:10 > 2:08:12But we miss out on stuff like this!

2:08:12 > 2:08:15Alex Dunlop was filming a report at Banham Zoo in Norfolk

2:08:15 > 2:08:17but as he attempted to tell the story,

2:08:17 > 2:08:19the zoo's lemurs decided that this was their moment of fame.

2:08:19 > 2:08:27I just think that he -- they thought he was part of the foliage.

2:08:27 > 2:08:32He has done well, that is some serious speed!

2:08:32 > 2:08:36It is eight minutes past eight. So many people have contacted the

2:08:36 > 2:08:38programme on this issue.

2:08:38 > 2:08:41Most parents will have a view on smacking, whether it's

2:08:41 > 2:08:43wrong or right, and if so, in what circumstances?

2:08:43 > 2:08:46And now plans which could see smacking children outlawed in Wales

2:08:46 > 2:08:47are being put out to consultation.

2:08:47 > 2:08:50If implemented, the ban would make Wales the second area of the UK

2:08:50 > 2:08:52to end the physical punishment of children after Scotland

2:08:52 > 2:08:54announced its plans to do the same.

2:08:54 > 2:08:55Joining us now from Cardiff

2:08:55 > 2:09:03is the Welsh Minister for Children and Social Care, Huw Irranca-Davies.

2:09:03 > 2:09:07Good morning to you, thank you for joining us. First of all, widely

2:09:07 > 2:09:11want to look at this? You want to enshrine it in law?That is right,

2:09:11 > 2:09:16we are launching a 12 week consultation today looking at two

2:09:16 > 2:09:20aspects. One is removing what is currently a defence of reasonable

2:09:20 > 2:09:23chastisement, the ability for parents to physically punish their

2:09:23 > 2:09:28children. The other aspect is looking at, if we do remove that

2:09:28 > 2:09:32defence, what support do we need to put in place for parents to allow

2:09:32 > 2:09:36them to have, if you like, a different approach, a more positive

2:09:36 > 2:09:39approach to parenting? It is something that over 50 countries

2:09:39 > 2:09:43have done, including our new neighbours in Ireland, Scotland are

2:09:43 > 2:09:47consulting on it as well with the help of introducing a law. So we

2:09:47 > 2:09:52think society has moved on, and it is time for a modern Wales to put in

2:09:52 > 2:09:56place a modern structure for parenting.What do you say to people

2:09:56 > 2:10:01who say you might be in danger of criminalising parents?Well, the

2:10:01 > 2:10:05first thing to say is we are not introducing a new piece of law to

2:10:05 > 2:10:08criminalise parents. What we're doing is taking away what currently

2:10:08 > 2:10:13can be used as a defence of reasonable chastisement. It is worth

2:10:13 > 2:10:16pointing out macro, Louise, as well that this has been taken in other

2:10:16 > 2:10:22places of work and school environments already, and we will

2:10:22 > 2:10:28not be the first country to consider doing this either. But it is not

2:10:28 > 2:10:32about criminalising parents at all - it is about promoting positive

2:10:32 > 2:10:36parenting. Here in Wales, we do a lot of positive programme for

2:10:36 > 2:10:40parents, things like the flying start programme. In England, you

2:10:40 > 2:10:45were quite familiar with the sure start programme? Working with

2:10:45 > 2:10:50parents about parenting skills, how you bring up a child with positive

2:10:50 > 2:10:53reinforcement to improve their behaviour without having to resort

2:10:53 > 2:10:57to physical punishment. So I think it is just a thing that society has

2:10:57 > 2:11:02moved on, and you speak to a lot of parents nowadays, and they don't see

2:11:02 > 2:11:05the need for what a previous generation might have seen, to

2:11:05 > 2:11:09actually physically chastise the child.We are getting a lot of

2:11:09 > 2:11:13people, some of them against smacking, some reflecting what you

2:11:13 > 2:11:18said, that perhaps they were smacked in the past. Do you think you will

2:11:18 > 2:11:23see, if this goes ahead, that parents will be prosecuted for

2:11:23 > 2:11:28smacking?Well, we hope that, but you can't rule it out. If children

2:11:28 > 2:11:31face physical punishment and this defence of reasonable chastisement

2:11:31 > 2:11:35is withdrawn, which is our hope, then what we hope is that when you

2:11:35 > 2:11:41put that alongside wider parenting programmes, and also the cultural

2:11:41 > 2:11:45change that will need to go alongside this, which is happening,

2:11:45 > 2:11:49I have to say, anyway, Louise, as we speak, and has been happening for

2:11:49 > 2:11:53the last couple of decades, then we won't see those prosecutions. But

2:11:53 > 2:11:57you can't rule it out, and part of this is a clear message to parents

2:11:57 > 2:12:04that says there is a different way to bring up children in a modern

2:12:04 > 2:12:08Wales, a modern society, and as I say, 50 countries have done this. I

2:12:08 > 2:12:12have just come back from holidays with my cousins and nephews in

2:12:12 > 2:12:16Ireland, where they put this ban in place, and they are saying, what is

2:12:16 > 2:12:20your problem with this? This is a reflection of modern families and

2:12:20 > 2:12:24modern parenting.Huw Irranca-Davies, thank you very much,

2:12:24 > 2:12:33the Welshman Esther for children and social care. -- Welsh Minister.

2:12:33 > 2:12:35Listening to that was mum of two and blogger Anna

2:12:35 > 2:12:37MacGowan, who joins us now.

2:12:37 > 2:12:44I think most people would say that what he was saying made sense, very

2:12:44 > 2:12:47few of us would say, I am going to raise my child by smacking it at

2:12:47 > 2:12:52least once a day. Most of us end up doing it because we run out of

2:12:52 > 2:12:57options, run out of choices, and I don't think a piece of...Is it the

2:12:57 > 2:13:01sort of thing that you disagree with the idea that government should

2:13:01 > 2:13:05legislate on? Is it a parental issue, or do you understand the

2:13:05 > 2:13:10concerns?I understand it but I have a few problems with it, the idea of

2:13:10 > 2:13:13this being an aggressive modern society, where the kids who go to

2:13:13 > 2:13:16the same school as my kids have to go to breakfast club because they do

2:13:16 > 2:13:21not have enough money to be fed at home - that seems to be a much

2:13:21 > 2:13:23greater child protection issue. But there is the slight worry of where

2:13:23 > 2:13:28this might end, are they going to have legislation that says the kids

2:13:28 > 2:13:32must have five portions of fruit and veg a day? Last night I gave my kids

2:13:32 > 2:13:36a packet of crisps at 11 o'clock at night because he was doing my head

2:13:36 > 2:13:41in. It is not ideal, but could I face prosecution for that?I suppose

2:13:41 > 2:13:45other people would say it is the Government's role to protect

2:13:45 > 2:13:49vulnerable children.I think that is absolutely true, and there's nothing

2:13:49 > 2:13:53wrong with that, but this is a curious thing to focus on when, in

2:13:53 > 2:13:58that same society, we have got kids who are being abused in all kinds of

2:13:58 > 2:14:01different ways, suffering from lack of food and money, and yet here

2:14:01 > 2:14:06comes this heavy legislation which is penalising parents, rather than

2:14:06 > 2:14:10supporting us, giving us the tools we need to crack on and do the best

2:14:10 > 2:14:17job we can.Lots of people getting in contact this morning, quite on

2:14:17 > 2:14:20both sides of the debate, many parents making your point saying

2:14:20 > 2:14:23they do not plan to make sure they admonish their children in this way,

2:14:23 > 2:14:28but there are sometimes they see it as a legitimate parenting tool.

2:14:28 > 2:14:31Personally, I don't smack my kids, even though they well deserve it,

2:14:31 > 2:14:37both of them! But I have pulled, pushed, I sat on my little boy wants

2:14:37 > 2:14:42because he just wouldn't do what he was supposed to. We don't feel proud

2:14:42 > 2:14:45of ourselves, but the idea that the follow on from that could be that

2:14:45 > 2:14:50the country I live in will tell me that I have broken the law, that

2:14:50 > 2:14:55doesn't feel like a progressive way of dealing with that problem.Denise

2:14:55 > 2:15:03says, for example, lots of people saying that in a Geoff -- in a

2:15:03 > 2:15:05different generation they did get smacked, but she says it is

2:15:05 > 2:15:10demeaning, humiliating, and teaches you to deal with life with your

2:15:10 > 2:15:15fists up, children need positive reinforcement.Does she have

2:15:15 > 2:15:19children?I don't know.We should find that out before we take that

2:15:19 > 2:15:24advice!

2:15:24 > 2:15:29That's a legitimate point?Of course, it is. Especially if you are

2:15:29 > 2:15:35facing hardship and you are on your own, you end up doing stuff that

2:15:35 > 2:15:44you're not proud of.What flavour of crisps?Walker's ready salted.I

2:15:44 > 2:15:49would go for prawn cocktail at that time of night!Would you?Thank you

2:15:49 > 2:15:54for your messages. There are so many people saying they were smacked as

2:15:54 > 2:15:59children and perhaps it is a change of society, that's what the

2:15:59 > 2:16:02minister's point was, wasn't it? Many people will be saying it never

2:16:02 > 2:16:07did me any harm and it did teach me the discipline that I've now used in

2:16:07 > 2:16:11later life, but maybe wouldn't do it to my own children. It is a really

2:16:11 > 2:16:15interesting debate.Some of you feel strongly about this. Get in touch,

2:16:15 > 2:16:22you can tweet us and e-mail as well.

2:16:23 > 2:16:25It's 8.16am and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

2:16:25 > 2:16:26The main stories:

2:16:26 > 2:16:27The Education Secretary Justine Greening has

2:16:27 > 2:16:30resigned from the Government after refusing a job as Work

2:16:30 > 2:16:32and Pensions Secretary in Theresa May's Cabinet reshuffle.

2:16:32 > 2:16:34North Korea has agreed to send a team to next month's

2:16:36 > 2:16:46between the two countries.

2:16:46 > 2:16:53I had a look at Carol's moody weather picture. I imagine that's

2:16:53 > 2:16:54astro-turf pitches behind you!

2:16:54 > 2:16:56weather picture. I imagine that's astro-turf pitches behind you!It is

2:16:56 > 2:17:00a beautiful picture and it shows the weather nicely. Good morning. It's a

2:17:00 > 2:17:03lovely shot from Luton. There is a lot of cloud and mist around as

2:17:03 > 2:17:07well. Generally today, it will be a cloudy day. It will be grey. There

2:17:07 > 2:17:12will be drizzle coming out of that cloud and it will be cold, not as

2:17:12 > 2:17:14cold as yesterday, but cold nonetheless. This morning we're

2:17:14 > 2:17:19starting off on that cloudy note. We've got hill fog around, but some

2:17:19 > 2:17:22clearer skies across north-west Scotland where there is a touch of

2:17:22 > 2:17:26frost, but you will have sunshine, sunshine across Cumbria and

2:17:26 > 2:17:30north-west Wales. Into the afternoon the cloud continues across Northern

2:17:30 > 2:17:34Ireland, with spots of rain ahead of the main band of rain and

2:17:34 > 2:17:37strengthening winds later. North-west Scotland hangs on to the

2:17:37 > 2:17:40sunshine, but for the rest of Scotland it will be cloudy. Again

2:17:40 > 2:17:44some murky conditions. Around Cumbria, Carlisle, you should see

2:17:44 > 2:17:48some sunshine today. That's hard to say, but for the rest of northern

2:17:48 > 2:17:51England there is patchy fog around especially in the Pennines this

2:17:51 > 2:17:54morning. Some of that will be with us this afternoon and low cloud and

2:17:54 > 2:18:02the same as we come further south. Generally cloudy. We could see some

2:18:02 > 2:18:05brightness, Kent, Essex and Sussex, but it will remain cloudy with'

2:18:05 > 2:18:10strengthening wind and rain coming into. That's courtesy of a weather

2:18:10 > 2:18:14front which through the evening and overnight is going to continue to

2:18:14 > 2:18:17push erratically north-east wards. It will weaken a touch and fragment

2:18:17 > 2:18:21through the course of the night. But it will bring some heavier rain

2:18:21 > 2:18:25across the Midlands and in through Scotland. Again, depositing snow
