0:00:05 > 0:00:11Hello, this is Breakfast,
0:00:11 > 0:00:12with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Donald Trump abandons his plans to visit
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Britain next month.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18The US President had been due to open the new American embassy
0:00:18 > 0:00:20in London, with protests planned by groups opposed
0:00:20 > 0:00:24to his administration.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27In the past hour, he's tweeted that he has no intention of cutting
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the ribbon because the building represents a bad deal
0:00:29 > 0:00:32for the United States.
0:00:47 > 0:00:53Tributes are paid to an 18-year-old woman who's died after catching
0:00:53 > 0:00:56the flu virus, as figures show a significant surge in cases.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The devastation continues from the California mudslides.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Officials say four children are among the 17 people confirmed
0:01:02 > 0:01:07to have been killed.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09The devastation continues from the California mudslides.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Officials say four children are among the 17 people confirmed
0:01:11 > 0:01:12to have been killed.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16The way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever
0:01:16 > 0:01:17and it starts tomorrow.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's called Open Banking and means you'll be able to ask your bank
0:01:20 > 0:01:23to share your details with other companies to get better deals.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'll explain all you need to know.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28In sport, it's too late to make any difference,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30but the referee, who awarded a controversial penalty
0:01:30 > 0:01:32which eventually cost Northern Ireland their World Cup
0:01:32 > 0:01:35play-off against Switzerland, has now admitted, he made a mistake.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And as the Queen marks 65 years since her Coronation,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41for the first time Her Majesty lifts the lid on what life
0:01:41 > 0:01:47is like when you have to wear a crown.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52You can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech
0:01:52 > 0:02:00up because if you do, your neck could break.Today, misty and
0:02:00 > 0:02:06frosty. Details on that in your weekend forecast a news on even cold
0:02:06 > 0:02:19weather on the way next week. That is next.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27In the last hour Donald Trump has confirmed he won't visit
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Britain next month.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The US President tweeted that he had cancelled the planned
0:02:31 > 0:02:33visit as he didn't want open the new American embassy
0:02:33 > 0:02:35commissioned by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Dan Johnson has got the latest.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39After nearly 60 years flying above London's Grosvenor Square,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41the Stars and Stripes were lowered this week,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44ready for the opening of the new US embassy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It is a $1 billion building on the Southbank, and Donald Trump
0:02:47 > 0:02:50was due to officially open it next month.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Is it because it would be embarrassed the Queen and the rest
0:03:34 > 0:03:38of the UK. Theresa May was the first world leader to reach out to the new
0:03:38 > 0:03:44president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon but then,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47the President strained at the special relationship by sharing on
0:03:47 > 0:03:51line far right videos from the group called Britain first. When Theresa
0:03:51 > 0:03:59May command -- condemned, he even retorted. Just last weekend, she
0:03:59 > 0:04:02confirmed the invite still stands. He is taking decisions in the best
0:04:02 > 0:04:08interests of the United States.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17interests of the United States. And she has done over six remarkable
0:04:17 > 0:04:25decades.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30decades.At opening this place was never the same as a state visit.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Meeting the Queen is still on, expected this year. The President is
0:04:34 > 0:04:39denying this decision was down to politics but after he offended more
0:04:39 > 0:04:43countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is
0:04:43 > 0:04:45welcome certainly isn't growing.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48We can talk now to our North America Corrspondent,
0:04:48 > 0:04:56Peter Bowes who is in our Los Angeles studio.
0:04:57 > 0:05:04What has Donald Trump been tweeting.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10The tweet came out at about midnight east coast time. Essentially he is
0:05:10 > 0:05:16saying that he did not want to be associated with a decision that half
0:05:16 > 0:05:20-- harks back to the Obama administration, that the decision
0:05:20 > 0:05:25was a bad decision as he put it, a bad deal and he didn't want to cut
0:05:25 > 0:05:28the ribbon. It is interesting because I have here a press release
0:05:28 > 0:05:34from the US Embassy which is dated the second of October 2008. Before
0:05:34 > 0:05:38the President was elected into office. Announcing this new embassy
0:05:38 > 0:05:46on the Southbank in London. It says the new embassy will close -- serve
0:05:46 > 0:05:51as a catalyst to the regeneration of the area. It was a decision made
0:05:51 > 0:05:55before President Obama. There is a lot more that we will hear about
0:05:55 > 0:06:00this controversy. Another one the President has been involved in. Some
0:06:00 > 0:06:05very tough language that he has been using, uncouth language many would
0:06:05 > 0:06:12say in terms of the debate about immigration. It is caused a huge row
0:06:12 > 0:06:20this year 's. He said Whiley having these people from these countries?
0:06:20 > 0:06:25He used a crude expression to describe Katie, El Salvador and
0:06:25 > 0:06:31other countries. What do we want all these people from Africa here? --
0:06:31 > 0:06:38Haiti. We should have people from places like Norway. The
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Nigel Farage has clarified remarks he made yesterday calling
0:06:40 > 0:06:41for a second EU referendum.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44The former UKIP leader has said although another vote
0:06:44 > 0:06:47was the "last thing" he wanted, he thought it might be forced
0:06:47 > 0:06:48on the country by parliament.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier joins us
0:06:50 > 0:06:58now from Westminster.
0:06:58 > 0:07:08no longer an MP, Nigel Bharucha.But his words resonate with Amy.
0:07:08 > 0:07:15Certainly, the idea of a second referendum is not in Nigel Farage's
0:07:15 > 0:07:20gift but it seems like an unlikely alliance.Nigel Farage, the man
0:07:20 > 0:07:25instrumental in getting that referendum, his long fought
0:07:25 > 0:07:29referendum to leave the EU, agreeing with remain campaigners who believe
0:07:29 > 0:07:33the referendum should be revisited. We had some Labour MPs, Liberal
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Democrats agreeing with Nigel Farage. The former leader, Nick
0:07:37 > 0:07:44Clegg, tweeted I agree with Nigel. His motivations for another vote are
0:07:44 > 0:07:48different from those who want to keep open the option of staying in
0:07:48 > 0:07:53the EU. He believes that there was another boat, people would back
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Brexit and it would end the moaning of the whingeing of some of the
0:07:57 > 0:08:04Remain campaigners.The Nick Clegg and Tony Blair types, they will
0:08:04 > 0:08:09never give up. They will go on whingeing and whining and moaning.
0:08:09 > 0:08:19Maybe, just maybe, we should have a second referendum on EU membership.
0:08:19 > 0:08:31The whole thing?Of course. I think if we had a second referendum, we
0:08:31 > 0:08:36could make it for a generation.He said he was clarifying his remarks
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and the second referendum was the last thing he wanted but Parliament
0:08:39 > 0:08:44might demand one so Brexit supporters should be prepared for
0:08:44 > 0:08:49one last battle. Whatever the result, because opinion polls are
0:08:49 > 0:08:53not clear on what it would be, other Brexit supporters have not agree
0:08:53 > 0:09:00with him. The current Ukip leader said it would undermine the fabric
0:09:00 > 0:09:06of our democratic intervals. Number ten has rejected the idea, saying
0:09:06 > 0:09:11the British people had made their decision.Thank you for explaining
0:09:11 > 0:09:16all that. We will talk to Nigel Farage about this. He is on the
0:09:16 > 0:09:17programme at 830.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20An 18-year-old from the Scottish highlands has died after contracting
0:09:20 > 0:09:21the flu virus.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Bethany Walker was airlifted to hospital
0:09:23 > 0:09:26in Inverness from her home in Wester Ross, but her illness had
0:09:26 > 0:09:28developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33In England, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen
0:09:33 > 0:09:36by GPs - up 78% from last week.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Police have released the names of 17 people -
0:09:42 > 0:09:44including four children - who are confirmed to have died
0:09:44 > 0:09:47in a mudslide which struck a small town in southern California.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49All of the dead were residents of Montecito.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52There's confusion about how many people are missing
0:09:52 > 0:09:55with one official estimate putting the figure as high as 43.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Our North America Correspondent James Cook reports.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05In Montecito, the authorities insist they are still in rescue mode but
0:10:05 > 0:10:09the chances of finding anyone alive are now slim. Police have released
0:10:09 > 0:10:15the names of the first victims to be identified. They include for
0:10:15 > 0:10:20children aged three, six, ten and 12. And the number of people missing
0:10:20 > 0:10:25may be higher than first thought.We certainly hope there are going to be
0:10:25 > 0:10:29far fewer than that. We hope there is not going to be any more but
0:10:29 > 0:10:32realistically we suspect we are going to continue to have discovery
0:10:32 > 0:10:36of people who were killed.Questions are now being asked about whether
0:10:36 > 0:10:42this area should have been evacuated. Nowell fled with her two
0:10:42 > 0:10:48children just before the storm but many of my neighbours did not.This
0:10:48 > 0:10:53is like a warzone here. There are homes that are just missing and I
0:10:53 > 0:10:56walked down the street and I see balls and toys and bicycles and
0:10:56 > 0:11:01shoes and socks.The storm didn't just strike on the Pacific coast.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07This was a surreal scene in the LA suburb of Burbank is a mudslide
0:11:07 > 0:11:13swept downhill. But the damage in -- Montecito was far worse. The
0:11:13 > 0:11:16mudslide came roaring down here, sweeping are before it and if you
0:11:16 > 0:11:22want to know how houses can be swept from their foundations so easily,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26this is the answer. Just look at the size of the boulders that were
0:11:26 > 0:11:30pushed down from the mountains. Rain was not the only cause of this
0:11:30 > 0:11:35carnage. The debris was watched -- washed down of mountains stripped
0:11:35 > 0:11:40bare and baked hard by a huge wildfire. James Cook, BBC News,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Montecito.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44The Queen has been talking about some of the challenges
0:11:44 > 0:11:47she faced at her Coronation, including the weight
0:11:47 > 0:11:48of the Imperial State Crown.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Her Majesty doesn't normally do interviews,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53but she spoke to the royal commentator Alastair Bruce as part
0:11:53 > 0:11:55of an upcoming BBC programme marking the 65th anniversary
0:11:55 > 0:11:56of the ceremony.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05She famously doesn't do interviews. This is probably as close as she
0:12:05 > 0:12:10will get. A conversation with questions about the Coronation, the
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Crown jewels and the Imperial State Crown warned by her and her father,
0:12:13 > 0:12:19King George VI.Fortunately my father and I have about the same
0:12:19 > 0:12:25shaped head. Once you put it on, it stays.It remains itself. You have
0:12:25 > 0:12:29to keep your head very still.Yes, and you can't look down to read the
0:12:29 > 0:12:33speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did, your neck
0:12:33 > 0:12:38would break, it would fall off. So there are some disadvantages to
0:12:38 > 0:12:43crowns but otherwise, they are quite important things.She wrote her
0:12:43 > 0:12:47coronation in the gold state coach. It weighs four times. It's not built
0:12:47 > 0:12:56for.Horrible. It's not meant for travelling in at all. Certainly
0:12:56 > 0:13:02strung on leather. So it rocks around a lot?Not very comfortable.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08Were you in it for a long time? I wrote around London.Really? We must
0:13:08 > 0:13:13have gone for five miles. You can only go at walking pace. The horses
0:13:13 > 0:13:19couldn't possibly go any faster. It's so heavy. 65 years later, a
0:13:19 > 0:13:27monarch talking about her coronation. The Crown, the real one.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31You can watch the Coronation on BBC One at eight o'clock this evening.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36We will talk to Alistair admitted later. A conversation with
0:13:36 > 0:13:43questions. It wasn't an interview. What have you got fries this
0:13:43 > 0:13:49morning?Do you remember a famous incident last November? Northern
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Ireland felt really hard done by when a penalty was awarded against
0:13:53 > 0:14:04them when it was judged that Cory Evans had acted like that?
0:14:04 > 0:14:10I threw a ball at you at the time. A lot of anger about that. It cost
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Northern Ireland a place in the World Cup. Now, the referee awarded
0:14:13 > 0:14:25that penalty which cost them so much has admitted he made a mistake.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Romanian referee Ovidiu Hategan, has accepted
0:14:27 > 0:14:29that his handball decision against Corry Evans was wrong.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Ricardo Rodriguez's penalty, was the only goal in the two legs,
0:14:32 > 0:14:38as Switzerland booked a World Cup spot.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Tottenham's new stadium will host an, American football game,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43for the first time, when the Seattle Seahawks play
0:14:43 > 0:14:44the Oakland Raiders, in October.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48It'll be the first, of three, N.F.L games staged in London this
0:14:48 > 0:14:48year.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51British bobsleigher Bruce Tasker has been ruled out of competing at next
0:14:51 > 0:14:53month's Winter Olympics after suffering a minor
0:14:53 > 0:14:54stroke last week.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Tasker is expected to make a full recovery and resume his bobsleigh
0:14:57 > 0:15:00career next season.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And it's been a good start to 2018, for Wales' Jamie Donaldson.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06He got this hole-in-one during his opening round at
0:15:06 > 0:15:14the South Africa Open yesterday.
0:15:16 > 0:15:23That was a good shot, wasn't it? Just a bit.Fabulous.We will take a
0:15:23 > 0:15:28look at the papers.Sorry about the rustling noises, we are getting
0:15:28 > 0:15:34sorted out.Let's take a look at the front page of the Times, it is
0:15:34 > 0:15:40taking a look at the flu problems, thousands more patients went to
0:15:40 > 0:15:44hospital with the flu last week. Cases have risen by half and there
0:15:44 > 0:15:47are renewed calls for compulsory vaccinations for frontline NHS
0:15:47 > 0:15:52staff. The Queen returning to Buckingham Palace after her
0:15:52 > 0:15:55coronation, and she has been talking about the weight of wearing that
0:15:55 > 0:16:02Crown. We will be talking to a royal commentator who has been talking to
0:16:02 > 0:16:08the Queen.And on quite a few papers, this is Bethany Walker, who
0:16:08 > 0:16:13died despite being airlifted to hospital when she first became ill
0:16:13 > 0:16:18with the flu. We are hearing a lot more about people who have been
0:16:18 > 0:16:23affected by that.The Daily Mail also picturing Bethany Walker. Its
0:16:23 > 0:16:30main story takes a look at Donald Trump cancelling his visit to
0:16:30 > 0:16:36Britain for an embassy opening, amid two fears. He will not be made
0:16:36 > 0:16:40welcome, and he has tweeted in the last hour or so that he wasn't happy
0:16:40 > 0:16:44about the positioning of the US Embassy which was put out, all was
0:16:44 > 0:16:51constructed under President Obama's administration.And on the front
0:16:51 > 0:16:56page of the Mirror, if you are confused about Nigel Farage's
0:16:56 > 0:17:01comments, initially suggesting he wanted a second referendum, he has
0:17:01 > 0:17:05clarified to a degree saying he thinks there is an air of
0:17:05 > 0:17:09inevitability. It is not something he seeks, a second referendum on the
0:17:09 > 0:17:13EU votes, but we will be speaking to Nigel Farage so we can hear what he
0:17:13 > 0:17:17says for himself. That is coming up at about 8:30am this morning.How
0:17:17 > 0:17:23many times can we talk about Brexit in a week, do you think?I dread to
0:17:23 > 0:17:28think what to many!What is the issue this week?Different
0:17:28 > 0:17:33industries are jostling for position as far as Brexit is concerned, be at
0:17:33 > 0:17:38the car industry, retail. Yesterday Theresa May had a lot of bank bosses
0:17:38 > 0:17:43to Downing Street to talk about the future they would have in the new EU
0:17:43 > 0:17:46relationship. In the Financial Times this morning, Theresa May to
0:17:46 > 0:17:52prioritise City in Brexit talks. That will anger a low of people, as
0:17:52 > 0:17:56there is anger point that are city in terms of the financial crisis and
0:17:56 > 0:18:01its role in it. It is one of our biggest exports, though, and a huge
0:18:01 > 0:18:05employer of staff in the UK. A lot of people saying these deals are all
0:18:05 > 0:18:09done behind closed doors and if you look at the front of the Telegraph
0:18:09 > 0:18:15this morning, this big picture tells you all you need to know, fingers on
0:18:15 > 0:18:19lips, not giving anything away, and the suggestion that all of these
0:18:19 > 0:18:23deals are too secretive and many people wanting to know what exactly
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Theresa May has agreed with the bank losses as far as Brexit talks are
0:18:27 > 0:18:32concerned.Talking of deals, there is a lot of talk about the transfer
0:18:32 > 0:18:37from Arsenal of Alexis Sanchez, it looks like he is going to
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Manchester, we thought Manchester City but a lot of papers saying
0:18:41 > 0:18:48Manchester United are planning to hijack that deal, but other papers
0:18:48 > 0:18:53disputing that, saying no way, Jose. Apparently he has turned down
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Manchester United and has his heart set on going to Manchester City. Far
0:18:58 > 0:19:02more important is that in Saudi Arabia tonight women will be able to
0:19:02 > 0:19:07go to a football match for the first time, which is pretty incredible,
0:19:07 > 0:19:12isn't it? One friend says she has been waiting since she was ten years
0:19:12 > 0:19:20old and doesn't really know how to explain how she is feeling today.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24This is the passion of Saudi women at a foot or game in full when Saudi
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Arabia played Australia, because they were allowed to go to that
0:19:27 > 0:19:31match in London, but until tonight they have not been allowed to go
0:19:31 > 0:19:35inside a football stadium. They could watch it on TV, but that will
0:19:35 > 0:19:41all change.Are they sitting in the stand amongst men?I think there are
0:19:41 > 0:19:44segregated areas for now, at least, but at least they are in.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Here is Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Here is Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54It was really foggy yesterday, has that cleared up?No, same again
0:19:54 > 0:20:00today. If you are fed up with great, I have news of changes on the way.
0:20:00 > 0:20:06Foremost, a grey start to the day. Lots of cloud and some fog as well
0:20:06 > 0:20:11across western dense patches of fog. You may go from good visibility to
0:20:11 > 0:20:15bad visibility in a short space of time. And frost where the sky is
0:20:15 > 0:20:21clear, in northern fringes of England and Wales, temperatures
0:20:21 > 0:20:24above freezing, too much cloud to have dropped overnight, but
0:20:24 > 0:20:28relentless grey skies for the vast majority. Mist and fog across
0:20:28 > 0:20:33western areas will take awhile to if it does at all. The cloud thickener
0:20:33 > 0:20:37finny scenarios for patchy light rain and drizzle. Parts of western
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Wales, north-west England and into Scotland will clear up, we will see
0:20:40 > 0:20:43sunshine yet again, but sunshine or cloud, temperatures around where
0:20:43 > 0:20:48they should be this time of year. Around seven to nine degrees. Always
0:20:48 > 0:20:52feeling better where you have the sunny conditions. In the tonight,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55some patchy drizzle across eastern areas. Most places will be driver
0:20:55 > 0:20:59time but through the night, gradually turning letter from the
0:20:59 > 0:21:02west in Northern Ireland. The same in the far west of Wales and also
0:21:02 > 0:21:06across Cornwall. Breezy conditions with it. Temperatures about six or
0:21:06 > 0:21:10seven degrees and the chance of a touch of frost and some clearer
0:21:10 > 0:21:13spots elsewhere. Northern Scotland the Best of that into Saturday
0:21:13 > 0:21:17morning. For many, as we go into the weekend, grey skies for many.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Northern and eastern parts of Scotland, maybe eastern parts of
0:21:22 > 0:21:25England, as the breeze picks up, a damp day. In Northern Ireland, not
0:21:25 > 0:21:28clearing until later on. Turning letter during the afternoon the part
0:21:28 > 0:21:32of western Scotland, much of western Wales, Cornwall and then into parts
0:21:32 > 0:21:35of Devon as well. Temperatures fairly similar to today's values.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Saturday night our weather front grinds to a halt. We have wind is
0:21:40 > 0:21:43coming in from either direction. It just fizzles out to bring a rather
0:21:43 > 0:21:48damp day across parts of Scotland, western England and Wales. Patchy,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52light rain and drizzle. Further east a chilly start, but brightening up
0:21:52 > 0:21:56as the breeze starts to pick up during the day. By the end of the
0:21:56 > 0:21:59day, wet and windy across parts of western Scotland and Northern
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Ireland. From Saturday night in the Monday we will see wet and windy
0:22:03 > 0:22:07weather. Gales and severe gales sweeping its way eastwards. As that
0:22:07 > 0:22:11departs Monday and into the end of next week, the rest of next week,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14low pressure to the east of Iceland dominating things. Firing down some
0:22:14 > 0:22:19pretty cold they are all way from Greenland. So if you are fed up with
0:22:19 > 0:22:24the grey and fog, some colder conditions to go with it, but
0:22:24 > 0:22:28clearing, may be severe gales for one or two, and frequent showers,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32heavy with hail and thunder, and also some sleet and snow as well.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38But at least if you have had it a bit grey, a change coming.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Let's return to our main story, and the news that Donald Trump has
0:22:41 > 0:22:43abandoned his plans to visit Britain next month.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Let's discuss this in more detail now with John Tonge,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49who is a politics professor at the University of Liverpool.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It was a day of wavering in Westminster yesterday.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54First, Nigel Farage suggested he would like a second referendum
0:22:54 > 0:22:55on leaving the EU.
0:22:55 > 0:23:03Then he said, actually, he didn't.
0:23:12 > 0:23:18He has a way about his tweets, particularly. This happened in the
0:23:18 > 0:23:19last hour
0:23:19 > 0:23:21particularly. This happened in the last hour and a quarter, around
0:23:21 > 0:23:25midnight, we are told, he has put this one on Twitter. What do you
0:23:25 > 0:23:29make of his explanation for not coming?He didn't waste any
0:23:29 > 0:23:33opportunity to criticise the previous administration. He says it
0:23:33 > 0:23:37was an unnecessary sale of the previous embassy and all Obama's
0:23:37 > 0:23:41fault. That has been a consistent theme for Donald Trump, he has tried
0:23:41 > 0:23:46to reverse a lot of what Barack Obama did. It will be a relief to
0:23:46 > 0:23:51many in the UK. Critics will say one visit is enough to the UK, and let's
0:23:51 > 0:23:55remember the State visit is still on. It will probably happen sometime
0:23:55 > 0:23:58next autumn. This is the cancellation of the embassy opening
0:23:58 > 0:24:02visit, which I suppose you could say in terms of the special relationship
0:24:02 > 0:24:06that might be a bit embarrassing, but frankly there will be an awful
0:24:06 > 0:24:09lot of relief, I think, in the British government. The level of
0:24:09 > 0:24:13security which is required for a presidential visit will be colossal
0:24:13 > 0:24:17and there are bound to be processed, and frankly you don't want that. You
0:24:17 > 0:24:21might even put off the state visit had it gone wrong with the opening
0:24:21 > 0:24:25of the embassy.Should we read much into it in terms of the
0:24:25 > 0:24:29relationship, or take it that Donald Trump doesn't want anything to do
0:24:29 > 0:24:33with the old administration, and it is the politics of the US and not
0:24:33 > 0:24:37internationally?Welcome offer all the bluster, I don't think they have
0:24:37 > 0:24:43really developed a relationship. There has been friction over the
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Britain First retweet, and the response from the American
0:24:46 > 0:24:50administration was very, very sharp indeed. So things have been frosty.
0:24:50 > 0:24:56There is no sun on the horizon with this trade deal which Britain wants
0:24:56 > 0:25:01to complete with the UK fairly quickly. All the talk of the special
0:25:01 > 0:25:05relationship, I don't think there is one at the moment with the Trump
0:25:05 > 0:25:08administration.So are the sort of vaguely connected, Nigel Farage,
0:25:08 > 0:25:13claiming to be pals with Donald Trump. We will speak to him later,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17because he has been clarifying some comments he made. Could there be
0:25:17 > 0:25:21another referendum? Here sort of saying that he feels there is a
0:25:21 > 0:25:24sense of inevitability about it, if for no other reason than to shut
0:25:24 > 0:25:28down those voices from elsewhere. Do you want to talk us through what
0:25:28 > 0:25:32mechanisms they could be for another referendum?I think it is
0:25:32 > 0:25:35inconceivable there would be another referendum of simply remain versus
0:25:35 > 0:25:40leave. The call from Nigel Farage, although he has backtracked from it
0:25:40 > 0:25:45somewhat, I don't think that is politically tenable. Both parties
0:25:45 > 0:25:49have ruled that out categorically. What might happen is that if the EU
0:25:49 > 0:25:52offers us an unacceptable trade deal the Westminster Parliament could
0:25:52 > 0:25:59vote that down. And then we are not in the EU land, we are not in the
0:25:59 > 0:26:03single market land, not in the customs unit land, and then what do
0:26:03 > 0:26:10we do? Do we go back to the European Union and seek a better deal? And at
0:26:10 > 0:26:14some point, do we put the terms of that deal to the British people? So
0:26:14 > 0:26:19they could be a second referendum on the terms of any deal. If the UK
0:26:19 > 0:26:23parliament says the deal that the EU is offering is not good enough, then
0:26:23 > 0:26:29at some point the people may be entitled to on whether what the EU
0:26:29 > 0:26:33is offering is good enough. So I wouldn't rule out a second
0:26:33 > 0:26:37referendum, but it won't be a straightforward remain versus leave.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42It is not as simple as that. You simply cannot rerun what happened on
0:26:42 > 0:30:0423 June 20 16.Always good to have you on the sofa, thank you
0:30:04 > 0:30:06again, Sunday mostly dry, very windy by the end of the day. Rain on
0:30:06 > 0:30:06Monday.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
0:30:09 > 0:30:10in half an hour.
0:30:10 > 0:30:18Bye for now.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Hello - this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga
0:30:23 > 0:30:23Munchetty.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26We'll bring you the latest news and sport in just a moment.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Here's what's coming up on Breakfast today.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31The way we manage our money is getting a shake-up.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We'll look at whether Open Banking, will really get you a better deal
0:30:34 > 0:30:42on current accounts and savings.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Her Majesty's verdict
0:30:48 > 0:30:51on the golden coach that took her to the Coronation.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54We'll speak to the man who managed to get the Monarch to break
0:30:54 > 0:30:57the spell of pomp and pageantry of that day for a new documentary.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00-- From pulpits to parishioners.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03We'll meet the vicars who feature in a new series that looks
0:31:03 > 0:31:06at the role they have to play in rural communities
0:31:06 > 0:31:13and how their faith fits in the modern world.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17In the last hour, Donald Trump has confirmed he will not visit Britain
0:31:17 > 0:31:21next month. He tweeted that he had cancelled a planned visit as he did
0:31:21 > 0:31:24not want to open the new American Embassy commissioned by his
0:31:24 > 0:31:30predecessor, Barack Obama.
0:31:31 > 0:31:37After nearly 60 years flying a love -- flying above London's Grosvenor
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Square, the Stars and Stripes were lowered ready to the opening of the
0:31:40 > 0:31:44new US embassy. It's billion-dollar building on the Southbank and Donald
0:31:44 > 0:31:49Trump was due to open it next month. Now we know he won't and early this
0:31:49 > 0:31:55morning, he posted his reasons on Twitter:
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Twitter: but did the prospect of protests like this also put off?
0:32:19 > 0:32:23This was the response to his ban on travellers from certain Muslim
0:32:23 > 0:32:28countries. A petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban
0:32:28 > 0:32:33him.It shouldn't be a state visit because it would be embarrassing to
0:32:33 > 0:32:37the Queen and the rest of the UK. Theresa May was the first world
0:32:37 > 0:32:42leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state
0:32:42 > 0:32:47visit, was promised soon. But then the President strain the special
0:32:47 > 0:32:52relationship by sharing on line far right videos from the group called
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Britain First. When Theresa May condemned, he then retorted. Just
0:32:57 > 0:33:02last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands.He is taking
0:33:02 > 0:33:06decisions in the best interests of the United States.And he is coming
0:33:06 > 0:33:09to this country?You will be coming to the country.The Foreign
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Secretary denied the Queen would be embarrassed.I think Her Majesty the
0:33:13 > 0:33:18Queen is capable of taking this American president or any American
0:33:18 > 0:33:23president in her stride, as she has done over six remarkable decades.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Let's be clear. Opening this place was never the same as a state visit.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32It would have been a shorter, less formal trip. Meeting the Queen is
0:33:32 > 0:33:37still on, expected this year, but no date has been set. The President is
0:33:37 > 0:33:42denying this decision is down to politics but after he offended more
0:33:42 > 0:33:46countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is
0:33:46 > 0:33:50welcome certainly isn't growing.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53An 18-year-old from the Scottish highlands has died after contracting
0:33:53 > 0:33:54the flu virus.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Bethany Walker was airlifted to hospital
0:33:56 > 0:33:59in Inverness from her home in Wester Ross, but her illness had
0:33:59 > 0:34:02developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Elsewhere, in England, there has been a sharp rise
0:34:04 > 0:34:07in the number of flu cases seen by GPs -
0:34:07 > 0:34:14up 78 per cent from last week.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18The conduct of the media is expected to be examined by the independent
0:34:18 > 0:34:20review into the response to the Manchester Arena bombing.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2422 people were killed when a bomb was set off after a pop
0:34:24 > 0:34:25concert at the venue in May.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Several of the bereaved families have raised concerns
0:34:28 > 0:34:29about the reporting of the attack.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32The review will also look at the role played by social media.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35The Queen has been talking about some of the challenges
0:34:35 > 0:34:36she faced
0:34:36 > 0:34:37at her Coronation 65 years ago.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41As part of a BBC programme, she spoke candidly about her journey
0:34:41 > 0:34:44to the catherdral and the heaviness of the crown she wore
0:34:44 > 0:34:45when she was coronated.
0:34:45 > 0:34:45What
0:34:45 > 0:34:49'The Coronation' will air on BBC One at 8pm this Sunday.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53You can't look down to read the speech, you have to take
0:34:53 > 0:34:55the speech up because if you do, your neck
0:34:55 > 0:34:58could break.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00So there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise,
0:35:00 > 0:35:08they are quite important things.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19a butcher who got frozen in his own freezer described how he used black
0:35:19 > 0:35:26pudding. The freeze door blew shut behind him. He was stranded in
0:35:26 > 0:35:31temperatures less than -20 degrees. He says he used the sausages are
0:35:31 > 0:35:35battering ram on the door's release mechanism.I couldn't work out how
0:35:35 > 0:35:41to do it initially. Then I found the black pudding stick and tried to get
0:35:41 > 0:35:49an angle on this button.
0:35:49 > 0:35:55an angle on this button. As you can see, it's not that easy now.Anyone
0:35:55 > 0:36:03who is trapped in a freezer now, courtesy of a butcher in Devon.
0:36:03 > 0:36:10Carrying a sausage, very useful.The World Championships, they are big
0:36:10 > 0:36:14things, they would be very useful. There is a black pudding World
0:36:14 > 0:36:19Championships. You don't want to get hit by one. Not that I have been.
0:36:19 > 0:36:27Very useful to have around.How big are the black puddings?It depends
0:36:27 > 0:36:39on the category you're a competing in. It's really not complicated.
0:36:39 > 0:36:45Have you finished talking about black pudding?Yeah when we make
0:36:45 > 0:36:52mistakes?
0:36:52 > 0:36:56mistakes? When it's a big one that costs your country a place of the
0:36:56 > 0:37:02World Cup. It hurts now that the referee has said.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03The referee who awarded that controversial penalty
0:37:03 > 0:37:06which eventually cost Northern Ireland their World Cup
0:37:06 > 0:37:08play-off against Switzerland last year has now admitted,
0:37:08 > 0:37:12he made a mistake.
0:37:12 > 0:37:20Ovidiu Hategan ruled Northern Ireland's Corry Evans
0:37:22 > 0:37:25blocked a shot, with his arm during the first leg,
0:37:25 > 0:37:29despite replays showing the ball struck the player's shoulder.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Michael O'Neill's side went on to lose the match 1-nil,
0:37:32 > 0:37:35ending their hopes of reaching a World Cup for the first time
0:37:35 > 0:37:43in 32 years.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48It was a sad and unpleasant moments to me. Sad, because I made a
0:37:48 > 0:37:52mistake. Painful, because with my team of officials we had been
0:37:52 > 0:37:56working well. In my world, the referees are the same as the
0:37:56 > 0:38:04goalkeepers. Everybody has made a mistake.Stephen Craig says two
0:38:04 > 0:38:06months after the event, it is pathetic.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09With Andy Murray missing through injury, British attention
0:38:09 > 0:38:11at the Australian Open will focus on Johanna Konta -
0:38:11 > 0:38:13she's been drawn to face the unseeded American,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Madison Brengle in the first round, which starts on Monday.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18The draw was made yesterday with Roger Federer,
0:38:18 > 0:38:20among the guests in Melbourne.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22He'll start the defence of his title against Aliash Bedene,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25the former British number two, who now represents his native
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Slovenia.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Maria Sharapova, was also at the draw, despite receiving
0:38:30 > 0:38:33a drugs ban two years ago, while competing in this
0:38:33 > 0:38:36competition.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Espite England's recent Ashes humiliation, Liam Livingstone says
0:38:38 > 0:38:40he can't wait to start life as a Test cricketer.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43The 24-year-old batsman, has been named in England's Test

0:39:10 > 0:39:13I've already had a taste of international experience with the
0:39:13 > 0:39:172020 this year and it will be nice to go into the environment this time

0:39:44 > 0:39:46based in the UK is looking increasingly unlikey.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49This match saw a meeting of two of the Eastern Conferences most

0:41:33 > 0:41:34for Wales' Jamie Donaldson.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37This was his tee shot, at the par three 14th hole
0:41:37 > 0:41:39at the South Africa Open in Edevale.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41And it went in for a hole in one.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Dozens of senior Accident and Emergency doctors in England
0:42:05 > 0:42:08and Wales have written a letter to the Prime Minister warning that
0:42:08 > 0:42:11patients are dying in hospital corridors and conditions
0:42:11 > 0:42:18are at times 'intolerable'.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28(PRES) It follows a number of reports of patients waiting hours
0:42:28 > 0:42:30for beds or being left on trollies.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Health bosses say 'very high' rates of flu is placing pressure
0:42:33 > 0:42:33on the NHS.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Stephen Lord is one of the medics who signed the letter to Theresa
0:42:37 > 0:42:37May.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38He joins us now.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42This is unprecedented. We haven't seen a group, people like you get
0:42:42 > 0:42:48together and sign this matter. What is taking you to this point? We
0:42:48 > 0:42:53expect every winter to be tough on patience. But this winter has proved
0:42:53 > 0:42:58tougher than any of the previous ones we have worked. We put patient
0:42:58 > 0:43:03care at the centre of our focus. This winter, we have seen on
0:43:03 > 0:43:05unprecedented levels, but care being compromised, delays in treatment,
0:43:05 > 0:43:12not being able to see patients in a timely manner. We decided it was
0:43:12 > 0:43:19time to speak up and raise our concerns. You are a clinical
0:43:19 > 0:43:24director who oversees a A&E department. Are you worried about
0:43:24 > 0:43:31people dying in your department when they potentially shouldn't be?I
0:43:31 > 0:43:38worry about patients coming to harm. I have long ambulance queues at
0:43:38 > 0:43:47times. Waiting to get into a cubicle to be seen by my staff. All the time
0:43:47 > 0:43:51that they are delayed, they are not getting the care that they need.You
0:43:51 > 0:43:57speak in very measured terms. You have signed a public letter asking
0:43:57 > 0:44:02for action from the government, from the Prime Minister.Have you had a
0:44:02 > 0:44:07response? Not yet other than the bits that were in the media
0:44:07 > 0:44:13yesterday. The letter was signed on Wednesday and went out yesterday,
0:44:13 > 0:44:19which was leaked by the Health Service Journal.The stock response
0:44:19 > 0:44:24right now it is what the government line is. Extra resources have been
0:44:24 > 0:44:29put in place. There is a plan to deal with what we are dealing with
0:44:29 > 0:44:36now. That is the stock response to what your saying.Every winter, we
0:44:36 > 0:44:42have a plan going into winter. Every plan needs resources in both real
0:44:42 > 0:44:47estate, people but also the finances to back it. We have seen this
0:44:47 > 0:44:54winter, our hospital sitting at around 95% occupancy. Efficiency
0:44:54 > 0:45:00relies on about 85% occupancy. It means we can't get patients through
0:45:00 > 0:45:05the hospital quicken up. There is not enough social care are out there
0:45:05 > 0:45:10to look after an elderly population. We often hear about the precipice,
0:45:10 > 0:45:16the edge of something. Can you give us a picture of what the next stage
0:45:16 > 0:45:24is that it carries on like this? What is the next stage? What does
0:45:24 > 0:45:30that look like? The next stage will be large numbers of patients coming
0:45:30 > 0:45:33to a significant harm.Increasing mortality across hospitals because
0:45:33 > 0:45:36patients are not getting the treatment they require in the time
0:45:36 > 0:45:41they require.
0:45:41 > 0:45:47Give me an idea of numbers.This year in my department we have seen a
0:45:47 > 0:45:522% increase in attendances but we have admitted another five or 6% of
0:45:52 > 0:45:55patients to the hospital. So from my department that is about another
0:45:55 > 0:45:59five patients per day. On our worst day we admitted another 20 patients
0:45:59 > 0:46:05over where we would expect to admit on a normal day. And that is on top
0:46:05 > 0:46:08of all the normal work. And these patients at times are waiting more
0:46:08 > 0:46:13than 12 hours in my department. You know, that is three times the length
0:46:13 > 0:46:18of time that people should be waiting. We should see, and we
0:46:18 > 0:46:24should discharge and had met people in four hours. But people are
0:46:24 > 0:46:28waiting 20 hours.What would you say to someone at this moment in time
0:46:28 > 0:46:35needs to take someone to A&E or send someone to A&E. People hearing this
0:46:35 > 0:46:39will think I don't want to send a relative if there is a risk of
0:46:39 > 0:46:43coming to harm.We always see people in a priority order. Everyone is
0:46:43 > 0:46:50triage at the front door, so we will see them at the order of their
0:46:50 > 0:46:53clinical need. We will see everyone and give them the treatments they
0:46:53 > 0:46:59require, but unless we can sort the system out, we will make no
0:46:59 > 0:47:09guarantees. In -- even senior doctors can't make that guarantee.
0:47:09 > 0:47:15And we will be keeping an eye on that story this morning. We are also
0:47:15 > 0:47:17looking at the weather picture as well.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Here is Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
0:47:20 > 0:47:25Very good morning to you, and no big changes on the weather front at the
0:47:25 > 0:47:27moment. There will
0:47:27 > 0:47:28changes on the weather front at the moment. There will be next week, as
0:47:28 > 0:47:32I will show you. Out there today we have the familiar colour of grey
0:47:32 > 0:47:36overhead for the vast majority. Some will brighten up a early-morning
0:47:36 > 0:47:39commuters on the roads across western parts of the UK will have
0:47:39 > 0:47:43some fog around, and these areas are most likely to see some frost.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47Temperatures dropping down to -3, -4 in northern Scotland, just below
0:47:47 > 0:47:51freezing in the south-west. Either side of it you are frost free but
0:47:51 > 0:47:54the figures cloud is producing rain and drizzle around the eastern
0:47:54 > 0:47:59areas, from London all the way towards the Wash at the moment. The
0:47:59 > 0:48:03odd heavy burst here and they will come and go all day long across some
0:48:03 > 0:48:07parts of eastern England. For most it is a dry day and some of the mist
0:48:07 > 0:48:11and fog will clear. Some of you will see some sunshine. The best chance
0:48:11 > 0:48:14of sunshine in western Wales, parts of north-west England and the North
0:48:14 > 0:48:19of Scotland and while temperatures across the border fairly similar,
0:48:19 > 0:48:22that bit sunshine will make him feel much better. Into the night, the
0:48:22 > 0:48:26wind coming from the south-east. No push from the Atlantic at the
0:48:26 > 0:48:30moment, this weather front trying to push its way in. It will bring rain
0:48:30 > 0:48:33by the end of the night in Northern Ireland and Pembrokeshire and
0:48:33 > 0:48:36Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Most generally dry. The odd spot of
0:48:36 > 0:48:41light rain and drizzle in the breeze as we have seen the past few nights
0:48:41 > 0:48:44and lots of cloud into Saturday morning. So another grey start for
0:48:44 > 0:48:47the start of the weekend. Wet in Northern Ireland, turning wet in
0:48:47 > 0:48:51western Scotland for a good part of western Wales, Cornwall and parts of
0:48:51 > 0:48:55Devon. More so across Scotland, parts of eastern Wales will stay
0:48:55 > 0:48:59dry. The better chance of a few cloud breaks to the south and east
0:48:59 > 0:49:03tomorrow compared with recent days, and temperatures similar to today.
0:49:03 > 0:49:07Through Saturday night and into Sunday, that weather front coming
0:49:07 > 0:49:11off the Atlantic sits in place across parts of Scotland, Wales,
0:49:11 > 0:49:14towards the south-west. Here we will see the greatest conditions --
0:49:14 > 0:49:19greatest conditions to begin with. A few breaks in the South and East
0:49:19 > 0:49:21with early-morning frost and fog. Temperatures struggling after the
0:49:21 > 0:49:25chilly start by the end of the day western Scotland and Northern
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Ireland will have heavy rain and gusty winds spreading its weight in.
0:49:28 > 0:49:33Through Sunday night into Monday, here comes the change. Gales and
0:49:33 > 0:49:36severe gale force winds. Clear in the south-east and by the time we
0:49:36 > 0:49:40get to the end of Monday, just follow the isobars back all the wage
0:49:40 > 0:49:44agreement from North Canada, much colder air will follow in its wake.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48That will sweep away the grade, the murkiness, the mist that we have
0:49:48 > 0:49:52seen over this week on introducing crisper conditions at times, but it
0:49:52 > 0:49:56will feel colder. Pretty windy as well, widespread gales expected and
0:49:56 > 0:50:01lots of showers around. Heavy with hail and thunder and increasingly
0:50:01 > 0:50:05sleet and snow across northern and western areas as well. A big change
0:50:05 > 0:50:09from what we have just now.I think you should have stopped that windy.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13Thank you very much.
0:50:13 > 0:50:21This is a new one on me, Ben, the idea of open banking.It is a bit
0:50:21 > 0:50:25complicated and it will take awhile to its presence felt but it is a
0:50:25 > 0:50:31really significant change to the way we do our banking. The way that we
0:50:31 > 0:50:35bank, borrow and save is about to change forever. It is called open
0:50:35 > 0:50:38banking and it is the biggest shakeup in a generation. So why is
0:50:38 > 0:50:43it happening and what does it mean for us? For years, our High Street
0:50:43 > 0:50:47banks have dominated the market for savings and current accounts. Most
0:50:47 > 0:50:51of us stay with the same bank for decades and so the regulator wants
0:50:51 > 0:50:55to make it easier to shop around, creating more competition. We could
0:50:55 > 0:51:01save nearly £100 a year just by switching banks and even more if you
0:51:01 > 0:51:06regularly use alone, an overdraft or a mortgage. At the moment there are
0:51:06 > 0:51:10just too many forms to fill in each time we want to sign up for
0:51:10 > 0:51:14something new. And so new EU rules mean big banks will be forced to
0:51:14 > 0:51:18share our information if we ask them to, so we can signup to new deals,
0:51:18 > 0:51:24switch or get better interest rates, all at the click of a button.Number
0:51:24 > 0:51:27one, personal budgeting, the ability to see where my money comes from
0:51:27 > 0:51:30under categories I am spending it on. I'm getting better visibility
0:51:30 > 0:51:34with that. The second one is the ability to bring all my accounts
0:51:34 > 0:51:38into one place, so I might look on a smartphone or banking out and see
0:51:38 > 0:51:42not just the current account from the tank, but other products and
0:51:42 > 0:51:44services that I might have, alone overdraft, for example. And
0:51:44 > 0:51:45services that I might have, alone overdraft, for example. And the
0:51:45 > 0:51:49third one would be around financial management, and that would be things
0:51:49 > 0:51:52like overdraft alerts, for example, so the ability to find better
0:51:52 > 0:51:56products which are more suited to me and the ability to switch to those
0:51:56 > 0:52:00products as well.But just how safe is it? When you sign up a new
0:52:00 > 0:52:04product you will be asked if you want to share your financial data
0:52:04 > 0:52:08and who you want to share it with. If you don't agree, it won't be
0:52:08 > 0:52:12shared. But not everyone is made confident by those changes. A recent
0:52:12 > 0:52:15survey found the majority of consumers are still sceptical about
0:52:15 > 0:52:20sharing their financial data. One of the biggest concerns is security.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23People will be sharing sensitive financial data. Third parties,
0:52:23 > 0:52:28perhaps brands you have never heard of, will be able to take a real peek
0:52:28 > 0:52:32into your current account and look at where you spend, your habits and
0:52:32 > 0:52:35your vices, and do you feel comfortable sharing that? Of course
0:52:35 > 0:52:38there is the risk that that data could go astray or it could be
0:52:38 > 0:52:42intercepted by fraudsters, and they would really hold the keys to your
0:52:42 > 0:52:46financial life.But remember, you have to give your permission before
0:52:46 > 0:52:50anyone can see that data. In theory it should make it easier to shop
0:52:50 > 0:52:56around. Remember, it all officially begins tomorrow. Just a small number
0:52:56 > 0:52:59of banks say they are ready for these changes, others have been
0:52:59 > 0:53:04given more time to comply. Credit card companies, mortgage firms and
0:53:04 > 0:53:08insurers will sign up as well. You might not notice any changes just
0:53:08 > 0:53:13yet but the changes are coming, and that revolution starts tomorrow.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15Thank you very much.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18If you visit Thirlmere, in the Lake District,
0:53:18 > 0:53:21the only sounds you will hear are the chirping of birds
0:53:21 > 0:53:22and the trickle of a nearby stream.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24That could soon change, though.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27A consultation on the construction of a new zip wire across
0:53:27 > 0:53:28the reservoir ends today.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31Developers say it will bring new tourists to the area.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33But the proposal hasn't gone down well with conservationists,
0:53:33 > 0:53:36as Breakfast Graham Satchell reports.
0:53:36 > 0:53:46Hidden in the trees next to Lake Windermere, is acquire. -- zip wire.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53Kia and will are about to go down for the first time.IBook this was
0:53:53 > 0:53:56his birthday.Would you normally come to the Lakes anywhere?We
0:53:56 > 0:54:03haven't been before, no.Go! Bringing new people to the Lakes is
0:54:03 > 0:54:07just one reason. Treetop trek want to build one more zip wire half an
0:54:07 > 0:54:10hour at the road at Thirlmere. So you can't really do this story
0:54:10 > 0:54:16without actually having a go. So here we go. One, two at three! So
0:54:16 > 0:54:22the people behind this new zip wire say it will create 15 new jobs, and
0:54:22 > 0:54:26should create £600,000 for the economy, and there should be 50,000
0:54:26 > 0:54:31people a year using it.It is about getting outdoors, doing something
0:54:31 > 0:54:36you wouldn't normally do, challenging yourself. And I think
0:54:36 > 0:54:40the more people we can encourage to get outdoors and to get up into the
0:54:40 > 0:54:44cells and to get around the lakes, the better.The plans would see four
0:54:44 > 0:54:49wires going across the water one way at Thirlmere, a quick track, and
0:54:49 > 0:54:57then four wires going back to the other side.
0:54:57 > 0:55:02other side. And this is Thirlmere. Breathtaking, Majestic, Sareen, and
0:55:02 > 0:55:09surprising. It is surprising because, actually, most of what you
0:55:09 > 0:55:15can see here is man-made. The trees, for example, were planted in the
0:55:15 > 0:55:20early 1900s, and the water is not a lake on it is a reservoir, built in
0:55:20 > 0:55:23the 1890s to supply water to Manchester, which it still does
0:55:23 > 0:55:28today. There was a huge row when this reservoir was built between
0:55:28 > 0:55:31industrialists and city folk to the south and a group of locals,
0:55:31 > 0:55:36including the poet and philosopher John Ruskin, who many consider to be
0:55:36 > 0:55:43the founding father of modern conservation is. Rusk and lost the
0:55:43 > 0:55:47first battle of Thirlmere, but the group he was part of, now called the
0:55:47 > 0:55:50friends of the Lakes district, is determined not to lose this one.I
0:55:50 > 0:55:54love getting out, getting away from it all. And I think having all these
0:55:54 > 0:56:02visitors here will spoil that, will spoil the landscape.Zip wires have
0:56:02 > 0:56:06a place, but not in urban landscape, and certainly not across an expanse
0:56:06 > 0:56:10of open water.I have been on one, you do scream, you can't help it. It
0:56:10 > 0:56:14would just be awful to have that here, when you come here for
0:56:14 > 0:56:21peaceful walks in nature.What do you think John Ruskin would have
0:56:21 > 0:56:28made of your zip wires proposal?I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
0:56:28 > 0:56:33But we shouldn't be afraid of words like thrill and fun. They should go
0:56:33 > 0:56:36hand-in-hand with words like his ability.These pictures show what it
0:56:36 > 0:56:41might be like to go the proposed new zip wire. There is a big question
0:56:41 > 0:56:45here. Should the late district be opened up to more people who
0:56:45 > 0:56:53wouldn't normally come, or should be left in peace, it is?
0:56:53 > 0:56:58That makes me want to go to the Lake District this weekend.And you can
0:56:58 > 1:00:20understand why sentiments run high, because it looks so stunning.
1:00:20 > 1:00:24the breeze will pick up a touch, so mist and fog not too much an issue
1:00:24 > 1:00:28in the tomorrow morning. A few spots of rain. A low cloud around again.
1:00:28 > 1:00:31Those four or five Celsius. Now, temperatures will go down a touch
1:00:31 > 1:00:34over the course of the weekend. A lot of cloud around. Mostly dry,
1:00:34 > 1:00:38some brighter spells that time. Turning windy by the end of Sunday.
1:00:38 > 1:00:42And then it is a wet start to the new working week.

1:01:28 > 1:01:29to have been killed.
1:01:29 > 1:01:32The way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever
1:01:32 > 1:01:34and it starts tomorrow.
1:01:34 > 1:01:37It's called Open Banking and means you'll be able to ask your bank
1:01:37 > 1:01:40to share your details with other companies to get better deals.
1:01:40 > 1:01:46I'll explain all you need to know.
1:01:46 > 1:01:53in sport, Hartpury to go for Bruce Tasker, the British bobsleigh star.
1:01:53 > 1:01:59He is expected to make a full recovery from his injury, however.
1:01:59 > 1:02:02And as the Queen marks 65 years since her Coronation,
1:02:02 > 1:02:05for the first time Her Majesty lifts the lid on what life
1:02:05 > 1:02:07is like when you have to wear a crown.
1:02:07 > 1:02:11You can't look down to read the speech, you have to take
1:02:11 > 1:02:13the speech up because if you do, your neck
1:02:13 > 1:02:14could break.
1:02:14 > 1:02:15Today, misty and frosty.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18Details on that in your weekend forecast a news on even cold
1:02:18 > 1:02:20weather on the way next week.
1:02:20 > 1:02:27That is next.
1:02:28 > 1:02:29Good morning.
1:02:29 > 1:02:32First, our main story.
1:02:32 > 1:02:33Donald Trump has confirmed he won't visit
1:02:33 > 1:02:34Britain next month.
1:02:34 > 1:02:37The US President tweeted that he had cancelled the planned
1:02:37 > 1:02:44visit as he didn't want open the new American embassy
1:02:44 > 1:02:45commissioned by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47Dan Johnson has got the latest.
1:02:47 > 1:02:49After nearly 60 years flying above London's Grosvenor Square,
1:02:49 > 1:02:52the Stars and Stripes were lowered this week,
1:02:52 > 1:02:56ready for the opening of the new US embassy.
1:02:56 > 1:02:59It is a $1 billion building on the Southbank, and Donald Trump
1:02:59 > 1:03:06was due to officially open it next month.
1:03:06 > 1:03:08Now, we know he won't.
1:03:08 > 1:03:09Some sources say the President did not want to be associated
1:03:34 > 1:03:40Donald Trump has got to go!
1:03:40 > 1:03:43But did the prospect of protests like this also put off?
1:03:43 > 1:03:46This was the response to his ban on travellers from certain
1:03:46 > 1:03:47Muslim countries.
1:03:47 > 1:03:50A petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him.
1:03:50 > 1:03:53It shouldn't be a state visit because it would be embarrassing
1:03:53 > 1:03:55to the Queen and the rest of the UK.
1:03:55 > 1:03:58Theresa May was the first world leader to reach out
1:03:58 > 1:04:01to the new President and a return trip, a state visit,
1:04:01 > 1:04:02was promised soon.
1:04:02 > 1:04:04But then the President strained the special relationship by sharing
1:04:04 > 1:04:07online far-right videos from the group called Britain First.
1:04:07 > 1:04:14When Theresa May condemned, he then retorted.
1:04:14 > 1:04:17When Theresa May condemned, he even retorted.
1:04:17 > 1:04:19But just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands.
1:04:19 > 1:04:23He is taking decisions in the best interests of the United States.
1:04:23 > 1:04:25And he is coming to this country?
1:04:25 > 1:04:26He will be coming to the country.
1:04:26 > 1:04:29The Foreign Secretary denied the Queen would be embarrassed.
1:04:29 > 1:04:32I think Her Majesty the Queen is capable of taking this
1:04:32 > 1:04:34American President or any American president in her stride,
1:04:34 > 1:04:37as she has done over six remarkable decades.
1:04:37 > 1:04:40Let's be clear.
1:04:40 > 1:04:43Opening this place was never the same as a state visit.
1:04:43 > 1:04:45It would have been a shorter, less formal trip.
1:04:45 > 1:04:49Meeting the Queen is still on, expected this year, but no date
1:04:49 > 1:04:51has been set.
1:04:51 > 1:04:55The President is denying this decision is down to politics
1:04:55 > 1:04:57but after he offended more countries with a foulmouthed remark last
1:04:57 > 1:05:05night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing.
1:05:10 > 1:05:14We can talk now to our North America Corrspondent,
1:05:14 > 1:05:20Eleanor Garnier who is in our Los Angeles studio.
1:05:20 > 1:05:25How special is this relationship? Some may say it is a snub. It is not
1:05:25 > 1:05:35a good look to have
1:05:35 > 1:05:41a good look to have another bit of having said that, is he doing it
1:05:41 > 1:05:46deliberately to annoy the British government? I don't think so. It is
1:05:46 > 1:05:50a backdrop of a strained relationship it has been strained at
1:05:50 > 1:05:54times. It was only last week we heard the Prime Minister was saying
1:05:54 > 1:05:59that the President would be visiting the UK. The state visit, that's with
1:05:59 > 1:06:04all the pomp and ceremony where Donald Trump would be seeing the
1:06:04 > 1:06:08Queen, that has been on the backburner but there is a more
1:06:08 > 1:06:12straightforward visit, a working visit, and it was due to take place
1:06:12 > 1:06:17next month. We know Donald Trump's public official reason becoming is
1:06:17 > 1:06:21because he is unhappy with the building and its relocation, all the
1:06:21 > 1:06:25BBC understands although Donald Trump is blaming the Obama
1:06:25 > 1:06:30administration, the decision was taken before President Obama came
1:06:30 > 1:06:37into office. There are other reasons being suggested for coming? The
1:06:37 > 1:06:43threat of anti-Trump demonstrations. The Mayor of London has made it
1:06:43 > 1:06:47clear that he doesn't think he is welcome in this country. Another
1:06:47 > 1:06:54difficulty is that when Theresa May made that invitation to Donald Trump
1:06:54 > 1:07:00to come to the UK that state visit, it was very early on. It became a
1:07:00 > 1:07:05very controversial invitation. Formerly made by the Queen. There's
1:07:05 > 1:07:09a lot of pressure on this visit. It is ratcheted up the diplomatic
1:07:09 > 1:07:14pressure. I think that is why it might feel a bit uncomfortable for
1:07:14 > 1:07:18those at Number 10.
1:07:18 > 1:07:21An 18-year-old from the Scottish highlands has died after contracting
1:07:21 > 1:07:22the flu virus.
1:07:22 > 1:07:26Bethany Walker was airlifted to hospital
1:07:26 > 1:07:31in Inverness from her home in Wester Ross, but her illness had
1:07:31 > 1:07:35developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her.
1:07:35 > 1:07:42In England, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen
1:07:45 > 1:07:50Away this winter has proved very tough. We as doctors put patient
1:07:50 > 1:07:59care is our number one focus. We seek optimisers in treatment,
1:07:59 > 1:08:03delays, not seeing patients in a timely manner. Through that, we
1:08:03 > 1:08:09decided it's time to speak up and raise our concerns.
1:08:09 > 1:08:11The Queen has been talking about some of the challenges
1:08:11 > 1:08:14she faced at her Coronation, including the weight
1:08:14 > 1:08:15of the Imperial State Crown.
1:08:15 > 1:08:17Her Majesty doesn't normally do interviews,
1:08:17 > 1:08:20but she spoke to the royal commentator Alastair Bruce as part
1:08:20 > 1:08:22of an upcoming BBC programme marking the 65th anniversary
1:08:22 > 1:08:23of the ceremony.
1:08:23 > 1:08:24Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.
1:08:24 > 1:08:26She famously doesn't do interviews.
1:08:26 > 1:08:28This is probably as close as she will get.
1:08:28 > 1:08:31A conversation with questions about the Coronation,
1:08:31 > 1:08:33the Crown Jewels and the Imperial State
1:08:33 > 1:08:36Crown warned by her and her father, King George VI.
1:08:36 > 1:08:39Fortunately my father and I have about the same
1:08:39 > 1:08:41sort of shaped head.
1:08:41 > 1:08:44Once you put it on, it stays.
1:08:44 > 1:08:46It just remains itself.
1:08:46 > 1:08:48You have to keep your head very still.
1:08:48 > 1:08:51Yes, and you can't look down to read the speech,
1:08:51 > 1:08:54you have to take the speech up because if you did,
1:08:54 > 1:08:57your neck would break, it would fall off.
1:08:57 > 1:09:01So there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise,
1:09:01 > 1:09:05they're quite important things.
1:09:05 > 1:09:09She rode her coronation in the gold state coach.
1:09:09 > 1:09:11It weighs four tonnes.
1:09:11 > 1:09:12It's not built for comfort.
1:09:12 > 1:09:14Horrible.
1:09:14 > 1:09:19It's not meant for travelling in at all.
1:09:19 > 1:09:20It's only sprung on leather.
1:09:20 > 1:09:22So it rocks around a lot?
1:09:22 > 1:09:22Not very comfortable.
1:09:22 > 1:09:25Were you in it for a long time?
1:09:25 > 1:09:26I rode around London.
1:09:26 > 1:09:29Really?
1:09:29 > 1:09:31We must have gone four or five miles.
1:09:31 > 1:09:33You can only go at walking pace.
1:09:33 > 1:09:37The horses couldn't possibly go any faster.
1:09:37 > 1:09:41It's so heavy.
1:09:41 > 1:09:4465 years after the event, a monarch talking about her
1:09:44 > 1:09:44coronation.
1:09:44 > 1:09:51The Crown, the real one.
1:09:51 > 1:09:53Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.
1:09:53 > 1:09:56You can watch the Coronation on BBC One at eight
1:09:56 > 1:10:04o'clock this evening.
1:10:16 > 1:10:29You are right up-to-date. Matters going to bring the weather.
1:10:32 > 1:10:35Flamboyant, confident and a young man who loved to be the centre
1:10:35 > 1:10:38of attention, Martyn Hett was among the 22 people killed
1:10:38 > 1:10:39in the attack last May.
1:10:39 > 1:10:42His family found themselves in the media spotlight,
1:10:42 > 1:10:44almost from the very moment they heard about the explosion.
1:10:44 > 1:10:47Judith Moritz has this report.
1:10:47 > 1:10:51The Manchester Arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were
1:10:51 > 1:10:56lost, many more were changed forever. He made international
1:10:56 > 1:11:00headlines and that meant there was huge media interest in the stories
1:11:00 > 1:11:06of those most closely affected. They included the family of Martyn Hett,
1:11:06 > 1:11:11one of those killed in the blast. He had a large social media following
1:11:11 > 1:11:17and had previously been on TV, and possibly as a result, his family
1:11:17 > 1:11:20found themselves in the spotlight almost from the very moment they
1:11:20 > 1:11:24heard about their explosion and before they knew Martyn had died.It
1:11:24 > 1:11:31seems a bit dissed tasteful, really. How can anybody be so cool and say
1:11:31 > 1:11:37sorry for your loss? We didn't find out officially this evening until he
1:11:37 > 1:11:41was dead.Now an independent panel will consider the way the media
1:11:41 > 1:11:47covered the stories of the breeds and injured. The review panel will
1:11:47 > 1:11:51recommend that public organisations adopt a charter which uses lessons
1:11:51 > 1:11:54learned from the Hillsborough disaster. It states that the
1:11:54 > 1:11:58bereaved and vulnerable should be treated with respect and put first
1:11:58 > 1:12:09by those responding to such public tragedies.
1:12:09 > 1:12:14Joining us as Lord Kerslake, the chair of the review. And Stuart
1:12:14 > 1:12:22Murray, Martyn Hett's father. How do you feel now? No one can put a time
1:12:22 > 1:12:27on how long to grieve and how much you miss. You will always miss
1:12:27 > 1:12:34Martyn. How do you think you are treated or approached by the media?
1:12:34 > 1:12:39I think, media point of view, if you imagine that one minute, you are at
1:12:39 > 1:12:48home watching it on the TV and you go to the arena to get some news and
1:12:48 > 1:12:52if you imagine how it would feel, you leave your children at home.
1:12:52 > 1:12:56Your teenagers while you are trying to find out news of what happens,
1:12:56 > 1:13:00and while you are there, you don't even know what has happened. There
1:13:00 > 1:13:07are people knocking on the door at home to your children. Saving our
1:13:07 > 1:13:11condolences about your brother, would you like to talk about it?
1:13:11 > 1:13:16That is nine and ten o'clock in the morning. We won't even told until
1:13:16 > 1:13:22ten o'clock at night. But was confirmed. How would you feel is
1:13:22 > 1:13:26apparent that was happening to your children?How did you know that had
1:13:26 > 1:13:31happened? The children account of the stories. They told you about
1:13:31 > 1:13:41that.It was our children and those where we lived, the media found the
1:13:41 > 1:13:44address of our children who don't live at home and some of Martyn's
1:13:44 > 1:13:50friends, his flatmates.
1:13:50 > 1:13:52friends, his flatmates. This is before we even had news and
1:13:52 > 1:13:57confirmation of what had happened. Those people it happened to, those
1:13:57 > 1:14:07enquiries by the media? What was the impact of that?
1:14:07 > 1:14:13impact of that?I suppose that makes you, the people involved angry and
1:14:13 > 1:14:17cautious how they would deal with the media thereafter. If you're
1:14:17 > 1:14:21trying to make an impression that is not the way to make an impression if
1:14:21 > 1:14:26you want to try were to be involved with them. It's not a good way to
1:14:26 > 1:14:32start.We will talk about that because we've spoken to you before.
1:14:32 > 1:14:38Lord Kerslake, you have spoken to members of the family, family
1:14:38 > 1:14:42members, survivors, people who are at the media. What has been your
1:14:42 > 1:14:47impression about how the media has behaved? How has that been
1:14:47 > 1:14:54inappropriate in terms of media guidelines?We really wanted to tell
1:14:54 > 1:14:59the story in terms of the bereaved and injured. A lot of the media
1:14:59 > 1:15:02handed -- handled things respectfully but there were
1:15:02 > 1:15:07occasions where they didn't. What you find here is that with social
1:15:07 > 1:15:11media, the identity of those were missing becomes known quite quickly.
1:15:11 > 1:15:16Then it is, how does the media respond to that situation? We have
1:15:16 > 1:15:24heard, I think, of an example where they did badly. We wanted to look at
1:15:24 > 1:15:28and go through the detail of this, what can we learn from this? Have
1:15:28 > 1:15:36the lessons of previous events like this been learned? Its early stages.
1:15:36 > 1:15:40Have you been able to draw any conclusions about that? There are
1:15:40 > 1:15:46certain realities here which you have come to deal with. Social media
1:15:46 > 1:15:53exists. Social media is going to appear. That will not change. What
1:15:53 > 1:16:04can be done?We want to do a bit more work, you are quite right,
1:16:04 > 1:16:08before we reach a conclusion. But most people would think it would be
1:16:08 > 1:16:12quite wrong to go to the door of somebody's house where the family
1:16:12 > 1:16:16don't yet know the outcome themselves, as we have heard from
1:16:16 > 1:16:20Stuart, and express condolences for their loss. We must find a way in
1:16:20 > 1:16:25which that doesn't happen.There is a balance, isn't there, Stuart, in
1:16:25 > 1:16:30terms of what people want to know. You have been on the sofa talking
1:16:30 > 1:16:33about Martin, remembering him, and people are interested. People want
1:16:33 > 1:16:37to know about the people who are victims of this atrocity. There is a
1:16:37 > 1:16:41way that the media needs to get that across to people, when we see
1:16:41 > 1:16:46something like what happened at the Manchester Arena. Where do you think
1:16:46 > 1:16:48the lines have been blurred, or perhaps stepped over
1:16:48 > 1:16:55inappropriately?I think as one of the victims' families, I think our
1:16:55 > 1:17:00role is to describe what has happened, and then let all the
1:17:00 > 1:17:06individual organisations decide whether what they did was right. I
1:17:06 > 1:17:10don't want to be seen to be saying this is what you must do. There are
1:17:10 > 1:17:14lots of different things happen, and you have to look at what happens to
1:17:14 > 1:17:17everyone. We feed it back and then we want all the different
1:17:17 > 1:17:21organisations who have been involved in looking after us afterwards to
1:17:21 > 1:17:29say what they did, was it right, could they have improved it?You
1:17:29 > 1:17:33described the immediate aftermath, and soul of those hours immediately
1:17:33 > 1:17:36afterwards, when the press were doing those things. In the longer
1:17:36 > 1:17:41term, do you feel that your family has been respected more, or is it an
1:17:41 > 1:17:47ongoing issue of respecting your privacy and giving the family time?
1:17:47 > 1:17:51I think overall I think we have been looked after fantastically by
1:17:51 > 1:17:57everybody involved. But there is always going to be lessons to be
1:17:57 > 1:18:03learned. So this isn't about trying to find blame, but when a big
1:18:03 > 1:18:07disaster happens, you need to look at it and say is there anything we
1:18:07 > 1:18:12could do even better on?What do you think could change, in the outcome
1:18:12 > 1:18:16of this, what could significantly change, do you think?I think it is
1:18:16 > 1:18:20all about the way in which people behave, the respect with which they
1:18:20 > 1:18:24treat those caught up in these terrible events. And I think we
1:18:24 > 1:18:27learned a lot, actually, in very different circumstances, the report
1:18:27 > 1:18:33that Bishop Jones did in the Hillsborough enquiry, and he set out
1:18:33 > 1:18:38some guiding principles for public agencies in terms of how they should
1:18:38 > 1:18:41approach to read families. And those applied not just the public
1:18:41 > 1:18:46agencies, but to the media as well. Thank you very much for your time,
1:18:46 > 1:18:49and thank you for spending time with us this morning.
1:18:49 > 1:18:53Here is Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
1:18:53 > 1:18:55And there looks to be some
1:18:55 > 1:18:58And there looks to be some horrible weather on the way.It depends how
1:18:58 > 1:19:03you look at it, really. Things will be changing. For some a welcome
1:19:03 > 1:19:07change from the grey we have seen through the bulk of the week.
1:19:07 > 1:19:11Certainly cloudy at the moment. O'Grady, misty start to your Friday
1:19:11 > 1:19:15morning. Some dense fog patches, especially in the west. The reason
1:19:15 > 1:19:19our weather hasn't been changing much of late is down to the position
1:19:19 > 1:19:23of the jet stream. It has been rushing out of USA and making this
1:19:23 > 1:19:26week undulating dip across the Atlantic, and then not really
1:19:26 > 1:19:31reaching us. So we have no real push to bring weather systems our way and
1:19:31 > 1:19:35shake up our weather of it. But that will change into next week. As we
1:19:35 > 1:19:38run into quieter weather, it the wind will fall light. The
1:19:38 > 1:19:43temperatures drop wet skies have been clear, that is western areas
1:19:43 > 1:19:47and northern Scotland, below freezing over the last hour or two.
1:19:47 > 1:19:51Either side of it a frosty start today but essentially another grey
1:19:51 > 1:19:55one. Misty and foggy over the hills. Dense patches of fog and lower
1:19:55 > 1:19:59levels of Wales and the south-west in particular. And the cloud from
1:19:59 > 1:20:02London and the south-east through Yorkshire, always big enough to
1:20:02 > 1:20:07produce some rain and drizzle. Most of you will have a dry day and some
1:20:07 > 1:20:10cloud appearing, the best favoured for it will be parts of west and
1:20:10 > 1:20:14north Wales, parts of western north of England and parts of Scotland.
1:20:14 > 1:20:17And where you see the sunshine, similar across-the-board, it will
1:20:17 > 1:20:22feel a little bit better. As we go through the night, still some patchy
1:20:22 > 1:20:27drizzle in the east but the main focus is in the west, the Atlantic
1:20:27 > 1:20:32jetstream trying to push this end. Rain on and off by the end of the
1:20:32 > 1:20:35night, maybe in the Pembrokeshire, Cornwall and by the time we see
1:20:35 > 1:20:38first light on Saturday into the far west of Scotland. But that weather
1:20:38 > 1:20:42front going to sit across these areas all day long on Saturday. In
1:20:42 > 1:20:46the west, some of the areas which see the sunshine today, probably a
1:20:46 > 1:20:50wet day tomorrow. Much of eastern England and Wales will stay dry.
1:20:50 > 1:20:53With a bit more breeze around tomorrow, especially across the
1:20:53 > 1:20:57South and east, a better chance of some sunshine but it will feel
1:20:57 > 1:21:00rather cool here is cooler air comes back off the continent. Saturday
1:21:00 > 1:21:03night the chance of some frost in the south-east corner. That weather
1:21:03 > 1:21:07front just sets across the west of Scotland, the far west of England
1:21:07 > 1:21:12and Wales to take us into Sunday. Sunday grey and damp for many
1:21:12 > 1:21:15western areas. Maybe some brightness breaking through the further east
1:21:15 > 1:21:19you are. Elsewhere the wind will pick up, that is the sign of the
1:21:19 > 1:21:23jetstream winning through. It brings this weather front from Scotland and
1:21:23 > 1:21:25Northern Ireland, and as the jetstream starts to push that
1:21:25 > 1:21:29through, wet and windy for all to takers from Sunday night into
1:21:29 > 1:21:33Monday, and then a big change on the way. Following the isobars back all
1:21:33 > 1:21:36the way in towards the likes agreement, northern Canada, much
1:21:36 > 1:21:40colder air for the start of next week. That will take us through all
1:21:40 > 1:21:44of next week. That does mean that we sweep away the grey skies of this
1:21:44 > 1:21:48week Tom but it also means it will feel colder. It will be much, much
1:21:48 > 1:21:52windier than we have had this week, and there will be frequent showers
1:21:52 > 1:21:59around. Some of the showers will contain sleet and snow.
1:21:59 > 1:22:02The future of building contractor Carillion hangs in the balance,
1:22:02 > 1:22:06amid fears it is close to collapse.
1:22:06 > 1:22:11amid fears it is close to collapse.
1:22:11 > 1:22:15Crisis talks this week, but there are fears it is close to collapse.
1:22:15 > 1:22:18Another crisis meeting will be held today, after talks this week ended
1:22:18 > 1:22:20without a deal on its massive pension deficit.
1:22:20 > 1:22:22Carillion is the UK's second-largest construction company,
1:22:22 > 1:22:24and employs 43,000 around the world.
1:22:24 > 1:22:26It is involved in all sorts of government building contracts,
1:22:26 > 1:22:33including the HS2 rail line.
1:22:33 > 1:22:36Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg says the social media site will reduce
1:22:36 > 1:22:39clutter from the site, after criticism that there are too
1:22:39 > 1:22:41any adverts and promoted posts from businesses.
1:22:41 > 1:22:44He says he wants to prioritise what he calls meaningful social
1:22:44 > 1:22:47interactions, and felt a responsibility to make sure
1:22:47 > 1:22:50Facebook was good for people's wellbeing.
1:22:50 > 1:22:53And a British satellite has been blasted into orbit on an Indian
1:22:53 > 1:22:56rocket to make full-colour, high-definition videos of earth.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58Rather than still images, that are currently the norm,
1:22:58 > 1:23:02the satellite will be able to record moving objects like cars or ships,
1:23:02 > 1:23:04and could be used for everything from monitoring traffic to helping
1:23:04 > 1:23:12rescuers after natural disasters.
1:23:19 > 1:23:23Some great video of what it could look like, but that satellite in
1:23:23 > 1:23:28orbit now, so there are a lot of them have to get up there before it
1:23:28 > 1:23:32works. We will speak to the boss of the British company behind that
1:23:32 > 1:23:37satellite just after 8:30am this morning on Breakfast.That will be
1:23:37 > 1:23:38interesting, looking forward to that.
1:23:38 > 1:23:41Four injured ex-veterans have been unveiled as the drivers of a motor
1:23:41 > 1:23:43racing team with a difference.
1:23:43 > 1:23:46They will compete in the GT Championship, in specially designed
1:23:46 > 1:23:48cars which allow them to compete against able-bodied drivers.
1:23:48 > 1:23:50Let's talk our reporter, JJ Chalmers.
1:23:50 > 1:23:56He is a former soldier who served with some of the team.
1:23:56 > 1:24:03He will be doing the racing, and we can see, I assume, the car itself.
1:24:03 > 1:24:12Yes, this is the car itself, it is an incredible beast. This is the
1:24:12 > 1:24:15launch of Invictus Games racing. We know it as a sporting competition
1:24:15 > 1:24:20for wounded and sick servicemen and women but it is ranching into the
1:24:20 > 1:24:24world of motorsport. To give you some context, this was my boss in
1:24:24 > 1:24:28Afghanistan and got blown up a day after me, believe it or not. How do
1:24:28 > 1:24:38you go from being a Royal Marine to a racing driver?I spent two years
1:24:38 > 1:24:42in physical rehabilitation and during that time I got into
1:24:42 > 1:24:48motorsport, and I was introduced to my team, and incredibly, I have been
1:24:48 > 1:24:53luckily chosen to now raise four Invictus Games Racing.And you have
1:24:53 > 1:24:58journeyed a similar journey to Steve. What has done for you
1:24:58 > 1:25:02rehabilitation?It has been amazing for my it has given me the
1:25:02 > 1:25:06opportunity to be part of a team again, to re- hone my competitive
1:25:06 > 1:25:13edge, and give me the opportunity to race in an awesome car.Speaking of
1:25:13 > 1:25:18awesome cars, can you give us an insight into what we have here?So
1:25:18 > 1:25:22it is based on a Jaguar F type, but it has been seriously modified. It
1:25:22 > 1:25:31is the first factory GT race car to come out for 50 years from Jaguar.
1:25:31 > 1:25:34It has some modifications, some of which we can't talk about because we
1:25:34 > 1:25:38don't want to give the game away, but suffice to say it is an
1:25:38 > 1:25:42incredible piece of kit and we can't wait to get behind the wheel.And if
1:25:42 > 1:25:46the car wasn't enough to make you believe they had taken this very
1:25:46 > 1:25:50seriously, look at this racing truck Tom Winnebago, as they call it in
1:25:50 > 1:25:57America. It has spared no expense, this type of Invictus Games
1:25:57 > 1:26:03endeavour. And James, how do you go from selling clothes to owning a
1:26:03 > 1:26:08race team?I want to do something cool for charity for quite awhile,
1:26:08 > 1:26:13and I was lucky enough to be in a position to do so. I thought if we
1:26:13 > 1:26:20could link up with the Invictus guys and get Jaguar to build a car within
1:26:20 > 1:26:24a year, it would challenge the guys and give them a good project. So we
1:26:24 > 1:26:29started this year ago. We have another two years to run and we are
1:26:29 > 1:26:32looking forward to the first season of British GT Championships this
1:26:32 > 1:26:37year. And I know from my days in rehabilitation, you are not here to
1:26:37 > 1:26:43make up numbers, are you?Definitely not. We have already spoken and we
1:26:43 > 1:26:48are going to take it from the front. We are not here to make up the
1:26:48 > 1:26:52numbers, we are here to win this.31 March is when the first race will
1:26:52 > 1:27:01be, and you will want to keep your eyes on this one.And we are back
1:27:01 > 1:27:04with you a little later on.Quite with you a little later on.Quite
1:27:04 > 1:30:22set
1:30:22 > 1:30:25to the new working week.
1:30:25 > 1:30:28I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
1:30:28 > 1:30:29in half an hour.
1:30:29 > 1:30:32Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
1:30:32 > 1:30:34Bye for now.
1:30:34 > 1:30:37Hello - this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga
1:30:37 > 1:30:37Munchetty.
1:30:37 > 1:30:42We'll bring you the latest news and sport in just a moment.
1:30:42 > 1:30:50Here's what's coming up on Breakfast today.
1:30:52 > 1:30:56In the last hour, Donald Trump has confirmed he will not visit Britain
1:30:56 > 1:30:57next month.
1:30:57 > 1:31:01He tweeted that he had cancelled a planned visit as he did not
1:31:01 > 1:31:03want to open the new American Embassy commissioned
1:31:03 > 1:31:10by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
1:31:10 > 1:31:14Essentially, he is saying he did not want to be associated with a
1:31:14 > 1:31:18decision that harks back to the Obama administration. It was a bad
1:31:18 > 1:31:23decision, as he said, a bad deal. It is interesting because I have here a
1:31:23 > 1:31:29press release from the US Embassy. It stated the second of October,
1:31:29 > 1:31:352008, before President Obama was elected.
1:31:35 > 1:31:38Announcing this new embassy on the Southbank in London.
1:31:38 > 1:31:40It says the new embassy will serve
1:31:40 > 1:31:43as a catalyst to the regeneration of the area.
1:31:43 > 1:31:51It was a decision made before President Obama.
1:31:52 > 1:31:56The conduct of the media is expected to be examined by the independent
1:31:56 > 1:31:58review into the response to the Manchester Arena bombing.
1:31:58 > 1:32:0222 people were killed when a bomb was set off after a pop
1:32:02 > 1:32:03concert at the venue in May.
1:32:03 > 1:32:05Several of the bereaved families have raised concerns
1:32:05 > 1:32:07about the reporting of the attack.
1:32:07 > 1:32:10The review will also look at the role played by social media.
1:32:10 > 1:32:13An 18-year-old from the Scottish highlands has died after contracting
1:32:13 > 1:32:14the flu virus.
1:32:14 > 1:32:15Bethany Walker was airlifted to hospital
1:32:15 > 1:32:19in Inverness from her home in Wester Ross, but her illness had
1:32:19 > 1:32:21developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her.
1:32:21 > 1:32:24Elsewhere, in England, there has been a sharp rise
1:32:24 > 1:32:27in the number of flu cases seen by GPs -
1:32:27 > 1:32:34up 78 per cent from last week.
1:32:37 > 1:32:40But this winter has proved tougher than any of the previous
1:32:40 > 1:32:41ones we have worked.
1:32:41 > 1:32:43We put patient care at the centre of our focus.
1:32:43 > 1:32:46This winter, we have seen on unprecedented levels,
1:32:46 > 1:32:48that care being compromised, delays in treatment,
1:32:48 > 1:32:51not being able to see patients in a timely manner.
1:32:51 > 1:32:54We decided it was time to speak up and raise our
1:32:54 > 1:33:02concerns.
1:33:04 > 1:33:09A large fire has broken out in Nottinghamshire. Nottingham Fire and
1:33:09 > 1:33:15Rescue is dealing with a large incident. This is what we are
1:33:15 > 1:33:23getting. We understand the station has been evacuated.
1:33:23 > 1:33:26East Midland Trains say all trains through the station are cancelled
1:33:26 > 1:33:29and they expect disruptions for the rest of the morning.
1:33:29 > 1:33:39Because of that fire, very much work you checking your travel plans.
1:33:39 > 1:33:42The Queen has been talking about some of the challenges
1:33:42 > 1:33:43she faced
1:33:43 > 1:33:44at her Coronation 65 years ago.
1:33:44 > 1:33:48As part of a BBC programme, she spoke candidly about her journey
1:33:48 > 1:33:51to the catherdral and the heaviness of the crown she wore
1:33:51 > 1:33:52when she was crowned.
1:33:52 > 1:33:55You can't look down to read the speech, you have to take
1:33:55 > 1:33:57the speech up because if you do, your neck
1:33:57 > 1:34:02could break.
1:34:02 > 1:34:04So there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise,
1:34:04 > 1:34:10they're quite important things.
1:34:10 > 1:34:16A butcher who got frozen in his own freezer described how
1:34:16 > 1:34:24he used black pudding to free himself.
1:34:26 > 1:34:31Chris McCabe there.
1:34:31 > 1:34:33The freezer door in Devon blew shut behind him.
1:34:33 > 1:34:40He was stranded in temperatures less than -20 degrees.
1:34:40 > 1:34:43He says he used the sausage as a battering ram on the door's
1:34:43 > 1:34:44release mechanism.
1:34:44 > 1:34:48I couldn't work out how to do it initially.
1:34:48 > 1:34:56Then I found the black pudding stick and tried to get
1:34:57 > 1:35:01to get an angle on this button.
1:35:01 > 1:35:03I did it by hitting it.
1:35:03 > 1:35:09As you can see, it's not that easy now.
1:35:09 > 1:35:13I will make sure there is black pudding in my freezer the whole
1:35:13 > 1:35:19time.I always have one on me. But in the black pudding World
1:35:19 > 1:35:26Championships, you have to get them on a plinth. The sliced one? Which
1:35:26 > 1:35:30wouldn't be as useful?You need a long, hard one to get yourself out.
1:35:30 > 1:35:38Tell us about the sport.When is it too late to say sorry? This was when
1:35:38 > 1:35:43Northern Ireland bought a penalty had cost them. Now, finally, the
1:35:43 > 1:35:49referee who awarded a controversial penalty which cost Northern Ireland
1:35:49 > 1:35:52their world player has admitted he got it wrong.
1:35:52 > 1:35:53Ovidiu Hategan ruled Northern Ireland's Corry Evans
1:35:53 > 1:35:56blocked a shot, with his arm during the first leg,
1:35:56 > 1:35:59despite replays showing the ball struck the player's shoulder.
1:35:59 > 1:36:01Michael O'Neill's side went on to lose the match 1-nil,
1:36:01 > 1:36:05ending their hopes of reaching a World Cup for the first time
1:36:05 > 1:36:06in 32 years.
1:36:06 > 1:36:09TRANSLATION:It was a sad and unpleasant moment to me.
1:36:09 > 1:36:10Sad, because I made a mistake.
1:36:10 > 1:36:13Painful, because with my team of officials we had
1:36:13 > 1:36:21been working well.
1:36:23 > 1:36:26In my world, the referees are the same as the goalkeepers.
1:36:26 > 1:36:28Everybody has made a mistake.
1:36:28 > 1:36:30Stephen Craig says two months after the event,
1:36:30 > 1:36:31it is pathetic.
1:36:31 > 1:36:33With Andy Murray missing through injury, British attention
1:36:33 > 1:36:36at the Australian Open will focus on Johanna Konta -
1:36:36 > 1:36:38she's been drawn to face the unseeded American,
1:36:38 > 1:36:41Madison Brengle in the first round, which starts on Monday.
1:36:41 > 1:36:45The draw was made yesterday with Roger Federer,
1:36:45 > 1:36:47among the guests in Melbourne.
1:36:47 > 1:36:53He'll start the defence of his title against Aliash Bedene,
1:36:53 > 1:36:56the former British number two, who now represents his native
1:36:56 > 1:36:56Slovenia.
1:36:56 > 1:36:59Maria Sharapova, was also at the draw, despite receiving
1:36:59 > 1:37:01a drugs ban two years ago, while competing in this
1:37:01 > 1:37:09competition.
1:37:09 > 1:37:12London's O2 Arena swapped Beiber for Basketball as the NBA returned
1:37:12 > 1:37:13to London last night.
1:37:13 > 1:37:15The American basketball league is looking
1:37:15 > 1:37:17to expand its fanbase here and across Europe,
1:37:17 > 1:37:20but say a full time franchise based in the UK
1:37:20 > 1:37:21is looking increasingly unlikey.
1:37:21 > 1:37:24This match saw a meeting of two of the Eastern Conferences most
1:37:24 > 1:37:26exciting teams, with the Boston Celtics eventually
1:37:26 > 1:37:28beating the Philadelphia 76-ers by 114 points to 103.
1:37:28 > 1:37:30Staying with American sports in the capital,
1:37:30 > 1:37:32and Tottenham's hopes of starting the new season
1:37:32 > 1:37:39in their new White Hart Lane stadium have been boosted,
1:37:39 > 1:37:41after it was announced Spurs' refurbished ground will host
1:37:41 > 1:37:44the first match of the NFL London Series in 2018.
1:37:44 > 1:37:47Seattle Seahawks will play the Oakland Raiders
1:37:47 > 1:37:50at White Hart Lane in October, and the new stadium has special
1:37:50 > 1:37:57features so both football and American football
1:37:57 > 1:37:59will have their own playing surface,
1:37:59 > 1:37:59apparently.
1:37:59 > 1:38:03it has been my dream for a number of years to crate something special
1:38:03 > 1:38:05not just for our fans but for NRL fans
1:38:05 > 1:38:08and the local area and I believe NFL and Premier League
1:38:08 > 1:38:14soccer together, it will be something unique in the world.
1:38:14 > 1:38:17We have got two pitches.
1:38:17 > 1:38:21The NFL pitch is the lower pitch.
1:38:21 > 1:38:24The Premier League One one will go under the South stand.
1:38:24 > 1:38:27It will enable the NFL to have as many games as they want
1:38:27 > 1:38:29during that period.
1:38:29 > 1:38:31British bobsleigher Bruce Tasker, has been ruled out of competing,
1:38:31 > 1:38:34at next month's Winter Olympics, after suffering a minor
1:38:34 > 1:38:35stroke last week.
1:38:35 > 1:38:37Tasker was due to compete in his second
1:38:37 > 1:38:38Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
1:38:38 > 1:38:41He was taken to hospital on the 4th of January,
1:38:41 > 1:38:43after experiencing dizziness and nausea, but he is expected
1:38:43 > 1:38:46to make a full recovery, and resume his bobsleigh career
1:38:46 > 1:38:53by next season.
1:38:53 > 1:38:57And how about this for a good way to start off the golfing year
1:38:57 > 1:38:58for Wales' Jamie Donaldson.
1:38:58 > 1:39:01This was his tee shot, at the par three 14th hole
1:39:01 > 1:39:03at the South Africa Open in Edevale.
1:39:03 > 1:39:05And it went in for a hole in one.
1:39:05 > 1:39:08Donaldson finished his round at two under par, five shots off
1:39:08 > 1:39:16the leader.
1:39:16 > 1:39:18Finally, it's long been the stuff of myths and fairytales,
1:39:18 > 1:39:21but now mermaids and mermen, swimming with huge tail fins
1:39:21 > 1:39:24and competing in sport is growing in the UK..
1:39:24 > 1:39:26Until recently, pulling on a tail, was really
1:39:26 > 1:39:26only
1:39:26 > 1:39:29something, you could experience on holiday, like i did a few years
1:39:29 > 1:39:33ago, and when done properly it can make you 33 per-cent faster
1:39:33 > 1:39:33in the water.
1:39:33 > 1:39:36Nnow there are mermaid and mermen academies in the UK
1:39:36 > 1:39:39and professionals here too..and this May, the UK will host
1:39:39 > 1:39:40the Mer-lympics for the first time.
1:39:40 > 1:39:42I was way off the pace
1:39:42 > 1:39:43in this race.
1:39:43 > 1:39:45As well as racing there will be synchro swimming
1:39:45 > 1:39:47and agility races.
1:39:47 > 1:39:57I imagine you need a very strong core to that.Once you do put it on,
1:39:57 > 1:40:01it feels like you have a tail, instead of legs.Your only good in
1:40:01 > 1:40:08the water. So floundering on the site? Do you remember that TV series
1:40:08 > 1:40:14and the actor from Dallas? He was half man, half fish? The man from
1:40:14 > 1:40:19Atlanta's? It was. He could walk and sometimes he turned into a fish? I
1:40:19 > 1:40:26haven't made it up?So this is after your heart as well, this sport?It
1:40:26 > 1:40:34was Patrick Duffy. Thank you.
1:40:34 > 1:40:37England could be facing its worst flu season for seven years,
1:40:37 > 1:40:40that's based on the sharp rise in the number of cases GPs
1:40:40 > 1:40:42have seen in the past week -
1:40:42 > 1:40:44up 78 per cent from last week.
1:40:44 > 1:40:47There are three main strains of flu this year -
1:40:47 > 1:40:48H3N2, H1N1, and Flu B.
1:40:48 > 1:40:51The H3N2 strain is also known as 'Aussie flu',
1:40:51 > 1:40:54while the B strain is also known as 'Japanese flu' and is not covered
1:40:54 > 1:41:01by some vaccines.
1:41:01 > 1:41:09Let's talk about this now with GP, Dr Rosemary Leonard.
1:41:09 > 1:41:13These strains, no one cares what strain they have when they have the
1:41:13 > 1:41:20flu, it's just a rotten, book which is hurting us the most?The one that
1:41:20 > 1:41:24is really common is the Japanese strain, the B strain but we don't
1:41:24 > 1:41:29test that. They are only testing for it in hospital. The symptoms are
1:41:29 > 1:41:34very similar. What's interesting, the reason GPs are busy, a lot of
1:41:34 > 1:41:37people know there is no treatment for flu but they don't realise they
1:41:37 > 1:41:40have the flu because they are expecting a bunged up nose,
1:41:40 > 1:41:46streaming cold, sore throat. What is happening is you hurt all over. You
1:41:46 > 1:41:50can't get out of bed in the morning because your arms and legs won't
1:41:50 > 1:41:55move. Your joints feel as if you have arthritis. You feel poleaxed
1:41:55 > 1:42:00with tiredness. People are saying they don't know what is wrong but
1:42:00 > 1:42:09that is the flu, along with a high fever.I was in my surgery
1:42:09 > 1:42:15frantically busy. I'm going back today. If someone Kim is in with
1:42:15 > 1:42:20those symptoms and you diagnose that you have the flu, there is nothing
1:42:20 > 1:42:33you can do.The problem is, people and underlying medical
1:42:33 > 1:42:35and underlying medical digressions, they have chest infections,
1:42:35 > 1:42:40pneumonia which can have a secondary bacteria infection. For the vast
1:42:40 > 1:42:49majority, there is nothing we can do and all GPs have arguments. You must
1:42:49 > 1:42:57be able to do something! We don't, you just must rest.Some patients
1:42:57 > 1:43:02are having arguments it is interesting. You have at some angry
1:43:02 > 1:43:07people in the surgery.They want antibiotics? They just don't
1:43:07 > 1:43:15understand there is nothing would you can do. I had to get a patient
1:43:15 > 1:43:18accompanied out of my room and even though I said it would be easy for
1:43:18 > 1:43:22me to give you a prescription, you would be out of here, I can see the
1:43:22 > 1:43:26next patient but it's not going to make you better.Can you understand
1:43:26 > 1:43:31the frustration when people say, I had the flu jab and it's not
1:43:31 > 1:43:39protecting me. It was designed for Aussie flu?
1:43:40 > 1:43:44Aussie flu? It has As and a B. The childhood nasal one is protecting
1:43:44 > 1:43:49against the Japanese B strain which is going around. The main back need
1:43:49 > 1:43:52-- the main vaccine is not protecting against the Japanese one
1:43:52 > 1:43:58but that said, if you haven't had a flu jab, the young people with
1:43:58 > 1:44:03asthma, they are not coming up the jabs as much. Pregnant women need to
1:44:03 > 1:44:10come in and get the jab. You could get B flu and then get the flu a
1:44:10 > 1:44:17week later. What is the message you are sending out? Those in the act
1:44:17 > 1:44:24risk groups.Go and get the vaccine if you are in an at risk group.
1:44:24 > 1:44:31Though not the surgery and ask. If you think you have got the blue, he
1:44:31 > 1:44:37can always burn your surgery for advice. Wash your hands frequently.
1:44:37 > 1:44:42This is really boring but wash your hands. If you are hot desking at
1:44:42 > 1:44:48work, wiped the keyboard is down. Use tissues and pin them. Simple
1:44:48 > 1:44:54hygiene stuff. It can make a difference in stopping giving it to
1:44:54 > 1:45:02somebody else.It is coming up to 7:45 a.m.. Some breaking news. A
1:45:02 > 1:45:09large fire has broken out at Nottingham railway station. These
1:45:09 > 1:45:15are the latest pictures. It's still dark out there. Fire and Rescue are
1:45:15 > 1:45:19saying they are dealing with a large incident. The station has been
1:45:19 > 1:45:25evacuated. East Midland trains say all trains are cancelled and are
1:45:25 > 1:45:31expecting disruptions. A large cord and has been placed around the
1:45:31 > 1:45:36station for safety but obviously today, if you're planning to travel
1:45:36 > 1:45:43anywhere near or through the railway station, your plans. -- cordon.
1:45:43 > 1:45:48Here is Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
1:45:48 > 1:45:49Here is Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
1:45:49 > 1:45:53Good morning.Good morning, both of you. Good morning as well. The
1:45:53 > 1:45:58little is changing with the weather at the moment. Some will see
1:45:58 > 1:46:02sunshine, for most the grey skies will remain. Some morning mist and
1:46:02 > 1:46:07fog, even a bit of frost around. As we go through Sunday night into
1:46:07 > 1:46:11Monday there is a spell of wet and windy weather set to push across the
1:46:11 > 1:46:14country. That will bring a marked change in the next week. Blue skies
1:46:14 > 1:46:18back at times but it will feel colder and there will be a little
1:46:18 > 1:46:22bit of sleet and snow as we see frequent showers pushing across the
1:46:22 > 1:46:26UK. A few days away for the time being, but stuck with the grave for
1:46:26 > 1:46:31many. Across parts of Scotland, western fringes of England and
1:46:31 > 1:46:35Wales, either side of free. That is because we have had too much cloud
1:46:35 > 1:46:39through the night. Some dense patches of fog to start the day, and
1:46:39 > 1:46:43that will take awhile to shift. Some issues on the morning commute.
1:46:43 > 1:46:46Generally misty over the hills and a cloud in eastern England throughout
1:46:46 > 1:46:50the day quick enough -- thickener for the odd spot of light rain and
1:46:50 > 1:46:53drizzle. The sunshine will come out here and there, the best favoured
1:46:53 > 1:46:57for that parts of western Wales, some in north-west England, and the
1:46:57 > 1:47:01far north of Scotland. Temperatures in the sunshine fairly similar, but
1:47:01 > 1:47:05the sunshine will make all the difference. Where you have clear
1:47:05 > 1:47:08skies there could be a touch of frost around parts of northern
1:47:08 > 1:47:11Scotland best favoured. Patchy rain and drizzle towards the east by
1:47:11 > 1:47:15turning wet across Northern Ireland for the night, and by the end of the
1:47:15 > 1:47:18night, maybe into the western fringes of Scotland, Pembrokeshire,
1:47:18 > 1:47:21and also in the west Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Keeping the
1:47:21 > 1:47:26temperature is up here, cool further east. Into the weekend forecast,
1:47:26 > 1:47:29expect lots of cloud once again. Maybe some brighter breaks the east
1:47:29 > 1:47:33of England compared with recent days. North-east Scotland seeing
1:47:33 > 1:47:37sunshine. Elsewhere cloudy conditions. Rain on and off
1:47:37 > 1:47:40throughout the day in Northern Ireland, turning down the far west
1:47:40 > 1:47:44of Scotland, Wales, into Devon, and for most of the further east you are
1:47:44 > 1:47:49should be fairly dry. The wind coming back off the continent, could
1:47:49 > 1:47:53be some frost to take us from Saturday night in the Sunday. In the
1:47:53 > 1:47:57Sunday our weather front just decays in situ. The Scotland and western
1:47:57 > 1:48:01parts of England and Wales, cloudy, damp day on Sunday. Some brighter
1:48:01 > 1:48:05conditions towards the east of England expected but the breeze will
1:48:05 > 1:48:09freshen later on and here comes the wet and windy weather I mentioned.
1:48:09 > 1:48:12Gales and severe gales could accompany a band of rain sweeping
1:48:12 > 1:48:15its way southwards Andy Swiss through Sunday night in the first
1:48:15 > 1:48:19part of Monday. Some particularly lively bursts of rain on that, gusty
1:48:19 > 1:48:23winds as well, and follow the isobars all the way back into
1:48:23 > 1:48:26Greenlands, northern parts of Canada. Much colder air set to push
1:48:26 > 1:48:30in next week. It will sweep away the greatness of the past few days,
1:48:30 > 1:48:34introducing a little bit of sunshine at times, but temperatures will drop
1:48:34 > 1:48:37and you will notice the wind chill more than anything else. Strong to
1:48:37 > 1:48:42gale force winds through a good part of next week and that will bring in
1:48:42 > 1:48:46frequent showers, heavy hail and thunder, and as the air gets colder
1:48:46 > 1:48:49we expect some sleet and snow as well, especially across northern and
1:48:49 > 1:48:54western parts of the UK.I will make two observations. For one,
1:48:54 > 1:48:59magnificent handwaving this morning. But also, getting pretty nippy,
1:48:59 > 1:49:05isn't it?It is, yes. Still in the throes of winter. You will notice
1:49:05 > 1:49:09that next week, especially in the wind.I thought he would give us an
1:49:09 > 1:49:18extra wave, but he has not risen to it.Jazz hands!Banks are thinking
1:49:18 > 1:49:22about sharing our information, and supposedly it will be better for us
1:49:22 > 1:49:24and we will get better deals from them. This
1:49:24 > 1:49:26and we will get better deals from them. This is what Ben is looking
1:49:26 > 1:49:32at.A lot of scepticism about the idea of sharing financial
1:49:32 > 1:49:36information. We should say first of all you have to agree to Sherratt
1:49:36 > 1:49:40but also it is the idea of not needing to fill into a form every
1:49:40 > 1:49:43time you going to a different bank or financial institution. It should
1:49:43 > 1:49:47make it easier to move around and be more fickle when it comes to things
1:49:47 > 1:49:48like banking apps.
1:49:48 > 1:49:52The way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever.
1:49:52 > 1:49:55It is called open banking and it is the biggest shakeup
1:49:55 > 1:49:55in a generation.
1:49:55 > 1:49:58So why, and what does it mean for us?
1:49:58 > 1:50:01Well, for years, our high street banks have dominated the market
1:50:01 > 1:50:02for savings and current accounts.
1:50:02 > 1:50:06Most of us stay with the same bank for decades, and so the regulator
1:50:06 > 1:50:09wants to make it easier to shop around, creating more competition.
1:50:09 > 1:50:12We could save nearly £100 a year just by switching banks,
1:50:12 > 1:50:15and even more if you regularly use a loan, overdraft or mortgage.
1:50:15 > 1:50:19But, at the moment, there are too many forms to fill in each time
1:50:19 > 1:50:21we want to sign up to something new.
1:50:21 > 1:50:24So new EU rules mean big banks will be forced
1:50:24 > 1:50:28to share our information, if we ask them to, so we can sign up
1:50:28 > 1:50:31to new deals, switch accounts, or get better interest rates
1:50:31 > 1:50:38at the click of a button.
1:50:38 > 1:50:40But just how safe is it?
1:50:40 > 1:50:43Well, when you sign up for a new product, you will be asked
1:50:43 > 1:50:47if you want your financial data to be shared, and who you want
1:50:47 > 1:50:50to share it with.
1:50:53 > 1:50:57The first thing is bringing all our accounts into one place, so I might
1:50:57 > 1:51:01look on a smartphone or banking app and see not just the current account
1:51:01 > 1:51:05from that bank at other products and services that I might have as well,
1:51:05 > 1:51:09a credit card or loan and overdraft, for example. The third one will be
1:51:09 > 1:51:12around financial management, and that will be things like overdraft
1:51:12 > 1:51:16alerts, for example. Better products which are more suited to me, and the
1:51:16 > 1:51:28ability to switch to those products as well.But how safe is it?Well,
1:51:28 > 1:51:30it won't be if you don't agree to it.
1:51:30 > 1:51:32But not everybody is convinced by the changes.
1:51:32 > 1:51:35A recent survey found that the majority of consumers
1:51:35 > 1:51:36are sceptical about sharing their financial data.
1:51:36 > 1:51:42One of the biggest concerns is security.
1:51:42 > 1:51:44People will be sharing sensitive financial data.
1:51:44 > 1:51:46Third parties, perhaps brands you have never heard
1:51:46 > 1:51:51of, will be able to take a real peek into your current account and look
1:51:51 > 1:51:53at where you spend, your habits and your vices,
1:51:53 > 1:51:55and do you feel comfortable sharing that?
1:51:55 > 1:51:57Of course there is the risk that that data
1:51:57 > 1:52:00could go astray or it could be intercepted by fraudsters,
1:52:00 > 1:52:03and they would really hold the keys to your
1:52:03 > 1:52:03financial life.
1:52:03 > 1:52:06Remember, you have to give your permission before anyone can
1:52:06 > 1:52:07see your data.
1:52:07 > 1:52:10All this officially begins tomorrow, but only a small number of the banks
1:52:10 > 1:52:12say they are ready for the changes.
1:52:12 > 1:52:17Others have been given more time.
1:52:17 > 1:52:19Credit card companies, mortgage firms and insurers
1:52:19 > 1:52:22will all sign up soon, too, so you might not notice any big
1:52:22 > 1:52:27changes just yet.
1:52:27 > 1:52:31But the changes are coming, and the revolution starts tomorrow.
1:52:31 > 1:52:36Would you try this behind us?
1:52:36 > 1:52:38If you visit Thirlmere, in the Lake District,
1:52:38 > 1:52:40you might soon get a chance to.
1:52:40 > 1:52:43A consultation on building a new zip wire across the reservoir
1:52:43 > 1:52:50there ends today.
1:52:50 > 1:52:53Developers say it will encourage tourism, but conservationists aren't
1:52:53 > 1:53:01happy, as Breakfast's Graham Satchell reports.
1:53:03 > 1:53:05Hidden in the trees next to Lake Windermere, a zip wire.
1:53:05 > 1:53:12Keir and Will are about to go down for the first time.
1:53:12 > 1:53:18I booked this for his birthday.
1:53:19 > 1:53:30He 20 tomorrow. -- he is 20 tomorrow.
1:53:30 > 1:53:32Would you normally come to the Lakes, anyway?
1:53:32 > 1:53:33We haven't been before, no. Go!
1:53:33 > 1:53:36Bringing new people to the Lakes is just one reason.
1:53:36 > 1:53:39Treetop Trek want to build one more zip wire half an hour
1:53:39 > 1:53:41at the road, at Thirlmere.
1:53:41 > 1:53:44So you can't really do this story without actually having a go.
1:53:44 > 1:53:45So here we go.
1:53:45 > 1:53:47One, two, three!
1:53:47 > 1:53:51So the people behind this new zip wire say it will create 15 new jobs,
1:53:51 > 1:53:54and should create £600,000 for the economy, and there should be
1:53:54 > 1:53:5550,000 people a year using it.
1:53:55 > 1:53:58It is about getting outdoors, doing something you wouldn't
1:53:58 > 1:53:59normally do, challenging yourself.
1:53:59 > 1:54:02And I think the more people we can encourage to get outdoors,
1:54:02 > 1:54:06and to get up into the fells and to get around the Lakes,
1:54:06 > 1:54:10the better.
1:54:10 > 1:54:13The plans would see four wires going across the water one way,
1:54:13 > 1:54:16at Thirlmere, a quick trek, and then four wires going back
1:54:16 > 1:54:17to the other side.
1:54:17 > 1:54:19And this is Thirlmere - breathtaking, majestic,
1:54:19 > 1:54:20serene, and surprising.
1:54:20 > 1:54:23It is surprising because, actually, most of what you can see
1:54:23 > 1:54:31here is man-made.
1:54:33 > 1:54:35The trees, for example, were planted in the early 1900s.
1:54:35 > 1:54:39And the water is not a lake, it is a reservoir, built
1:54:39 > 1:54:41in the 1890s to supply water to Manchester,
1:54:41 > 1:54:49which it still does today.
1:54:50 > 1:54:53There was a huge row, when this reservoir was built,
1:54:53 > 1:54:56between industrialists and city folk to the south and a group of locals,
1:54:56 > 1:55:00including the poet and philosopher John Ruskin, who many consider to be
1:55:00 > 1:55:01the founding father of modern conservationists.
1:55:01 > 1:55:03Ruskin lost the first battle of Thirlmere.
1:55:03 > 1:55:11But the group he was part of, now called the Friends
1:55:11 > 1:55:14of the Lakes District, is determined not to lose this one.
1:55:14 > 1:55:16I love getting out, getting away from it all.
1:55:16 > 1:55:19And I think having all these visitors here will spoil that,
1:55:19 > 1:55:22will spoil the landscape.
1:55:22 > 1:55:25Zip wires have a place, but not in this landscape,
1:55:25 > 1:55:27and certainly not across an expanse of open water.
1:55:27 > 1:55:28I've been on one.
1:55:28 > 1:55:30You do scream, you can't help it.
1:55:30 > 1:55:34It would just be awful to have that here, when you come
1:55:34 > 1:55:39here for peaceful walks in nature.
1:55:39 > 1:55:47What do you think John Ruskin would have made of your zip wire proposal?
1:55:48 > 1:55:50I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
1:55:50 > 1:55:53But we shouldn't be afraid of words like "thrill" and "fun."
1:55:53 > 1:56:01They should go hand-in-hand with words like "peace" and "serenity."
1:56:01 > 1:56:04These pictures show what it might be like to go on the proposed
1:56:04 > 1:56:09new zip wire.
1:56:09 > 1:56:11There is a big question here.
1:56:11 > 1:56:14Should the Lake District be opened up to more people who wouldn't
1:56:14 > 1:56:16normally come, or should it be left in peace,
1:56:16 > 1:56:22as it is?
1:56:23 > 1:59:48One thing is not in question, it is a stunningly beautiful place.I
1:59:48 > 1:59:50in half an hour.
1:59:50 > 1:59:51Bye for now.
2:00:22 > 2:00:29Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
2:00:29 > 2:00:38Donald Trump abandons plans to visit Britain next month. He was planning
2:00:38 > 2:00:41to visit next month despite planned protests.
2:00:41 > 2:00:44In the past few hours he's tweeted that he has no intention of cutting
2:00:44 > 2:00:46the ribbon because the building represents a bad deal
2:00:46 > 2:00:47for the United States.
2:00:47 > 2:00:52This is how the US embassy looks this morning.
2:00:52 > 2:01:00We will be there with the latest in the next few minutes.
2:01:13 > 2:01:20It is Friday 12th of January, also on the programme: firefighters
2:01:20 > 2:01:25working to put out a large fire at Nottingham train station. It has
2:01:25 > 2:01:31been evacuated and some trains have been cancelled.
2:01:31 > 2:01:33Tributes are paid to an 18-year-old woman who's died after catching
2:01:33 > 2:01:35the flu virus, as figures show a significant surge
2:01:35 > 2:01:36in the number of cases.
2:01:36 > 2:01:39The way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever.
2:01:39 > 2:01:40And it starts tomorrow.
2:01:40 > 2:01:43It's called Open Banking and means you'll be able to ask your bank
2:01:43 > 2:01:46to share your details with other companies to get better deals.
2:01:46 > 2:01:53I'll explain all you need to know.
2:01:53 > 2:01:58Heartbreak on the eyes for British bobsled star who is out of the
2:01:58 > 2:02:02Winter Olympics after suffering a minor stroke. The good news is that
2:02:02 > 2:02:06he is expected to make a full recovery.
2:02:06 > 2:02:09And: as the Queen marks 65 years since her Coronation,
2:02:09 > 2:02:12for the first time Her Majesty lifts the lid on what life
2:02:12 > 2:02:15is like when you have to wear a heavy crown.
2:02:15 > 2:02:19You cannot look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech
2:02:19 > 2:02:22up because if you did your neck would break!
2:02:25 > 2:02:28Foggy and frosty for some but many will have another great day but
2:02:28 > 2:02:33there is some sunshine on the way, I will tell you where that is and give
2:02:33 > 2:02:36you the full weekend forecast and news of colder weather next week in
2:02:36 > 2:02:38the next 15 minutes.
2:02:41 > 2:02:45Donald Trump has confirmed he won't visit Britain next month.
2:02:45 > 2:02:48In the past couple of hours the US President tweeted that he had
2:02:48 > 2:02:50cancelled the planned visit as he didn't want to open
2:02:50 > 2:02:52the new American embassy commissioned by his predecessor,
2:02:52 > 2:02:53Barack Obama.
2:02:53 > 2:02:57Dan Johnson has the story.
2:02:57 > 2:03:05After nearly 60 years flying above London's Grosvenor Square,
2:03:06 > 2:03:08the Stars and Stripes were lowered ready for the opening
2:03:08 > 2:03:09of the new US embassy.
2:03:09 > 2:03:11It's billion-dollar building on the Southbank and Donald Trump
2:03:11 > 2:03:13was due to open it next month.
2:03:13 > 2:03:18Now we know he won't and early this morning, he posted his reasons
2:03:18 > 2:03:25on Twitter:
2:03:45 > 2:03:47But did the prospect of protests like this also put him off?
2:03:47 > 2:03:50This was the response to his ban on travellers from certain
2:03:50 > 2:03:51Muslim countries.
2:03:51 > 2:03:55A petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him.
2:03:55 > 2:03:58It shouldn't be a state visit because it would be embarrassing
2:03:58 > 2:04:01to the Queen and the rest of the UK.
2:04:01 > 2:04:04Theresa May was the first world leader to reach out
2:04:04 > 2:04:07to the new President and a return trip, a state visit,
2:04:07 > 2:04:11was promised soon.
2:04:11 > 2:04:15But then the President strained the special relationship by sharing
2:04:15 > 2:04:19online far-right videos from the group called Britain First.
2:04:19 > 2:04:22When Theresa May condemned, he then retorted.
2:04:22 > 2:04:25Just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands.
2:04:25 > 2:04:28He is taking decisions in the best interests of the United States.
2:04:28 > 2:04:30And he is coming to this country?
2:04:30 > 2:04:32He will be coming to the country.
2:04:32 > 2:04:37The Foreign Secretary denied the Queen would be embarrassed.
2:04:37 > 2:04:40I think Her Majesty the Queen is capable of taking this
2:04:40 > 2:04:43American President or any American president in her stride,
2:04:43 > 2:04:47as she has done over six remarkable decades.
2:04:47 > 2:04:49Let's be clear.
2:04:49 > 2:04:52Opening this place was never the same as a state visit.
2:04:52 > 2:04:57It would have been a shorter, less formal trip.
2:04:57 > 2:05:00Meeting the Queen is still on, expected this year, but no date
2:05:00 > 2:05:01has been set.
2:05:01 > 2:05:05The President is denying this decision is down to politics
2:05:05 > 2:05:08but after he offended more countries with a foul-mouthed remark last
2:05:08 > 2:05:13night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing.
2:05:13 > 2:05:15Our correspondent, John Donnison is outside the American Embassy
2:05:15 > 2:05:21for us this morning.
2:05:21 > 2:05:25Good morning, Donald Trump making no reference to potential protests over
2:05:25 > 2:05:28here, he says it's all about the rather magnificent building behind
2:05:28 > 2:05:38you.That's right, this is the "Off" location as Donald Trump described
2:05:38 > 2:05:43it and this is what $1 billion get you. One of the workers told me it's
2:05:43 > 2:05:48more like £1 billion, it has come in over budget. Some of those workers a
2:05:48 > 2:05:54bit bemused by all the attention. We have heard it was cancelled from
2:05:54 > 2:05:58Donald Trump's perspective. Talking to a number of sources and several
2:05:58 > 2:06:03told us it was cancelled because of concerns about possible
2:06:03 > 2:06:06demonstrations. Another source said it was because the president did not
2:06:06 > 2:06:13want to travel to Europe again so soon after the Davos summit. Sources
2:06:13 > 2:06:17did say it was not because of those strained relations we were hearing
2:06:17 > 2:06:21about in the report from Dan Johnson.For the moment, thank you
2:06:21 > 2:06:23very much.
2:06:23 > 2:06:33We
2:06:33 > 2:06:34urge
2:06:34 > 2:06:36We are hearing that a large fire has broken
2:06:36 > 2:06:37a large fire has broken
2:06:37 > 2:06:38out at Nottingham railway station.
2:06:38 > 2:06:41Nottinghamshire Fire and rescue say they're dealing with a 'large
2:06:41 > 2:06:42incident' with eight appliances in attendance.
2:06:42 > 2:06:48The station has been evacuated.
2:06:48 > 2:06:52a statement from East Midlands Trains seeing emergency services
2:06:52 > 2:06:56have been called, no reports of injuries to customers or staff and
2:06:56 > 2:07:00East Midlands Trains say they will continue to assist in the emergency
2:07:00 > 2:07:04services however they can. Advice for any would-be travels is that no
2:07:04 > 2:07:07trains will be stopping at the station and till further notice and
2:07:07 > 2:07:11the advice to customers is to not travel to or travel from Nottingham
2:07:11 > 2:07:20station. Passengers advised to check with East Midlands Trains.
2:07:25 > 2:07:28An 18-year-old from the Scottish Highlands has died after contracting
2:07:28 > 2:07:36the flu virus. Bethany Walker was airlifted to hospital in Inverness
2:07:36 > 2:07:38from her home but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff
2:07:38 > 2:07:44are unable to save her life. There has been a sharp rise in the number
2:07:44 > 2:07:49of flu cases seen by GP's, 5000 people admitted to hospital with flu
2:07:49 > 2:07:55in the first week of January.This winter has proved tougher than any
2:07:55 > 2:07:59previous. We as doctors put patient care at the centre of our focus and
2:07:59 > 2:08:03it is our number one priority. This winter we have seen an unprecedented
2:08:03 > 2:08:08levels that care being compromised, delays in treatment, not being able
2:08:08 > 2:08:13to see patients in a timely manner. We decided it was time to speak up
2:08:13 > 2:08:15and raise our concerns.
2:08:15 > 2:08:18The role played by the media is to be examined by the Manchester
2:08:18 > 2:08:19Arena bombing inquiry.
2:08:19 > 2:08:2222 people were killed at the end of an Ariana Grande concert last May.
2:08:22 > 2:08:25Some families who used social media to appeal for information
2:08:25 > 2:08:26about missing relatives found themselves subjected
2:08:26 > 2:08:27to intrusive attention.
2:08:27 > 2:08:35Judith Moritz reports.
2:08:36 > 2:08:40The Manchester Arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were
2:08:40 > 2:08:45lost. Many more were changed forever. The attack made
2:08:45 > 2:08:49international headlines and that meant there was huge media interest
2:08:49 > 2:08:53in the stories of those most closely affected. They included the family
2:08:53 > 2:08:58of Martin one of those killed in the blast. Martin had a large social
2:08:58 > 2:09:04media following and had previously been on TV. Possibly as a result of
2:09:04 > 2:09:07his family found themselves in the spotlight from almost the very
2:09:07 > 2:09:12moment they heard about the explosion. And before the new Martin
2:09:12 > 2:09:19did.It seems a bit distasteful really. How can anybody be so cruel
2:09:19 > 2:09:25and go and say sorry for your loss? We did not find a officially until
2:09:25 > 2:09:29that evening he was dead.Mirror an independent panel will consider the
2:09:29 > 2:09:34way the media covered the stories of the bereaved and entered. The
2:09:34 > 2:09:37Kerslake review panel will also recommend that public organisations
2:09:37 > 2:09:42adopt a charter which uses lessons learned from the Hillsborough
2:09:42 > 2:09:45disaster. It states that the bereaved and vulnerable should be
2:09:45 > 2:09:49treated with respect and put first by those responding to such public
2:09:49 > 2:09:53tragedies.
2:09:56 > 2:09:59Jewellery worth millions of euros that was stolen from the Ritz hotel
2:09:59 > 2:10:02in Paris have been recovered after one of the theives dropped his
2:10:02 > 2:10:03bag whilst trying to escape.
2:10:03 > 2:10:06Three men armed with axes were arrested after being blocked
2:10:06 > 2:10:07inside the building on Wednesday evening.
2:10:07 > 2:10:09Two accomplices waiting outside on mopeds escaped -
2:10:09 > 2:10:11but dropped a bag containing all the jewellery after
2:10:11 > 2:10:19crashing into pedestrians.
2:10:23 > 2:10:27The weather and sports coming up a little later on.
2:10:27 > 2:10:30The Queen has spoken candidly about her memories of her coronation
2:10:30 > 2:10:33ahead of her 65th anniversary on the throne in a rare interview
2:10:33 > 2:10:34to be broadcast by the BBC.
2:10:34 > 2:10:36Speaking to the Royal commentator Alastair Bruce,
2:10:36 > 2:10:41Her Majesty describes the weight of the crown and being uncomfortable
2:10:41 > 2:10:42in the carriage she travelled in.
2:10:42 > 2:10:45Alastair will join us in a moment, but first here's our Royal
2:10:45 > 2:10:46correspondent Nicholas Witchell.
2:10:46 > 2:10:50She famously doesn't do interviews.
2:10:50 > 2:10:52This is probably as close as she will get.
2:10:52 > 2:11:00A conversation with questions about the Coronation,
2:11:00 > 2:11:02the Crown Jewels and the Imperial State Crown worn
2:11:02 > 2:11:04by her and her father, King George VI.
2:11:04 > 2:11:07Fortunately my father and I have about the same sort of shaped head.
2:11:07 > 2:11:09Once you put it on, it stays.
2:11:09 > 2:11:10It just remains itself.
2:11:10 > 2:11:12You have to keep your head very still.
2:11:12 > 2:11:14Yes, and you can't look down to read the speech,
2:11:14 > 2:11:21you have to take the speech up because if you did,
2:11:21 > 2:11:23your neck would break, it would fall off.
2:11:23 > 2:11:25So there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise,
2:11:25 > 2:11:27they're quite important things.
2:11:27 > 2:11:30She rode her coronation in the gold state coach.
2:11:30 > 2:11:31It weighs four tonnes.
2:11:31 > 2:11:32It's not built for comfort.
2:11:32 > 2:11:35Horrible.
2:11:35 > 2:11:40It's not meant for travelling in at all.
2:11:40 > 2:11:42It's only sprung on leather.
2:11:42 > 2:11:43So it rocks around a lot?
2:11:43 > 2:11:46Not very comfortable.
2:11:46 > 2:11:48Were you in it for a long time?
2:11:48 > 2:11:49I rode around London.
2:11:49 > 2:11:51Really?
2:11:51 > 2:11:53We must have gone four or five miles.
2:11:53 > 2:11:56You can only go at walking pace.
2:11:56 > 2:11:58The horses couldn't possibly go any faster.
2:11:58 > 2:12:02It's so heavy.
2:12:02 > 2:12:0565 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation.
2:12:05 > 2:12:06The Crown, the real one.
2:12:06 > 2:12:10Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.
2:12:10 > 2:12:13Alastair Bruce, who spoke with the Queen, joins us now
2:12:13 > 2:12:18from our Southampton studio.
2:12:18 > 2:12:23Good morning, thank you for talking to us, what was it like talking to
2:12:23 > 2:12:28the Queen about these things?It was an enormous privilege, such a joy
2:12:28 > 2:12:32after 22 years of planning the possibility and then getting the
2:12:32 > 2:12:36chance to film the crown jewels for the first time. They belong to us
2:12:36 > 2:12:40and giving a chance of our production to tell the story to the
2:12:40 > 2:12:43United Kingdom. Then having the Queen herself explain the story was
2:12:43 > 2:12:52lovely.How many years in the planning?22 years.Why did it take
2:12:52 > 2:12:58so long?As a young lad I made a complete set of replicas out of the
2:12:58 > 2:13:02clay and has played them at school. A friend of mine at school have been
2:13:02 > 2:13:07working on this for 22 years and have been asking and now the Royal
2:13:07 > 2:13:11collection have given permission and the Queen also, to mark the 65th
2:13:11 > 2:13:17anniversary.Did it live up to expectations?Hugely, it was a huge
2:13:17 > 2:13:21honour to go into the Tower of London on treating sick of night and
2:13:21 > 2:13:26film with some of the most precise commitmentequipment in the world.
2:13:26 > 2:13:32Then in October when we went to Buckingham Palace.The Queen to talk
2:13:32 > 2:13:38about it, it is very exciting.What was she like?She was unbelievably
2:13:38 > 2:13:43charming to me. She has a delightful sense of humour without in any way
2:13:43 > 2:13:46undermining the importance and role of the Crown jewels to her and all
2:13:46 > 2:13:50of us. She made it very accessible to understand what exactly like to
2:13:50 > 2:13:59wear a crown and what it meant to her to have this five lbs crown on
2:13:59 > 2:14:06her head. It was made for King Charles II in 1662, 1661, so long
2:14:06 > 2:14:15time ago.So doesn't it fit her head if it was made for a man?No, it was
2:14:15 > 2:14:20made for a bewigged head of a great king from the past but a frame was
2:14:20 > 2:14:25made with it. Imagine five lbs in wait, that is a lot of bags of sugar
2:14:25 > 2:14:32and she was 27 which one must remember.We saw the pictures of the
2:14:32 > 2:14:36crime being brought into the room and a gentleman of white gloves,
2:14:36 > 2:14:41does she touch it or is she respectfully leaving it be?Three
2:14:41 > 2:14:45people are allowed to touch, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the other
2:14:45 > 2:14:52of course is the Queen. And the crown jewel is the third person. The
2:14:52 > 2:14:56Queen was interested because it was the first time she had touched that
2:14:56 > 2:15:01crown since she was crowned with it in 1953 so she did sort of tappet
2:15:01 > 2:15:07and take hold of it.How long did you have to talk to her?An hour and
2:15:07 > 2:15:11a half, it was really special. In the middle of an afternoon. The team
2:15:11 > 2:15:15worked really hard and I just had the privilege of spending a peaceful
2:15:15 > 2:15:20time helping the Queen reflect upon our memories.You mentioned at the
2:15:20 > 2:15:23beginning of the interview that she was quite frank and open, funny as
2:15:23 > 2:15:28well. The programme is on on Sunday evening, what can you give us, give
2:15:28 > 2:15:36us a snippet which tells us the things you spoke about?I think what
2:15:36 > 2:15:39is most exciting is that the Crown 's belong to us and they are
2:15:39 > 2:15:41probably the best-known set of national symbols in the world but
2:15:41 > 2:15:43the least understood and I think it's because the Queen understands
2:15:43 > 2:15:47how important they are to us all that she's helped us start the
2:15:47 > 2:15:52process with the Royal collection of making the Royal collection of Crown
2:15:52 > 2:16:00Jewels better understood to the whole of the Night King.
2:16:01 > 2:16:05Not many others get to meet the Queen. Where are you surprised by
2:16:05 > 2:16:10how candid she was?I think the Queen had decided what she wanted to
2:16:10 > 2:16:14talk about. I could not ask any direct questions, so I made comments
2:16:14 > 2:16:21on the Queen picked up on what she wanted to say. She said it with
2:16:21 > 2:16:26great delight. She was terribly funny, I think. And very good at
2:16:26 > 2:16:30explaining and remembering things that had happened a long time ago.
2:16:30 > 2:16:37There is an interesting story behind the Crown, when it was buried, in
2:16:37 > 2:16:44Windsor, what happened there?King George VI, the Queen 's father, was
2:16:44 > 2:16:47worried about what would happen to the Crown jewels if Britain was
2:16:47 > 2:16:52invaded. In the Second World War, the danger of that was very great.
2:16:52 > 2:16:57He had them taken to Windsor Castle from the tower. A library in doubt
2:16:57 > 2:17:03about the principal stones and wrap them in tissue paper and put them in
2:17:03 > 2:17:10a ten. I remember these biscuit tins. And they were just easily
2:17:10 > 2:17:13hidden in a way that you could run away with them. They were placed
2:17:13 > 2:17:21underneath the ground and Windsor Castle.
2:17:21 > 2:17:25Castle. I don't think anyone would know where to look.What was the
2:17:25 > 2:17:33sense you feel as the Queen reflects on those years?I think the Queen
2:17:33 > 2:17:40has achieved a most remarkable reign. And because the United
2:17:40 > 2:17:44Kingdom hasn't had a correlation for so long, we don't understand the
2:17:44 > 2:17:46significance of the Crown Jewels and what is lovely about these symbols,
2:17:46 > 2:17:52they're a good guidance to a monarch but also to anyone in a position of
2:17:52 > 2:17:56leadership, whether running a garage on a motorway or a shop at the
2:17:56 > 2:18:02corner of the street. If you learn to hold the sceptre of kingly power
2:18:02 > 2:18:05with a glove, which is a tradition in this country, started by Ed
2:18:05 > 2:18:09Woodward, the confessor, then reminds you of power and what more
2:18:09 > 2:18:16beautiful way to remind people to be gentle in the use of power.Thank
2:18:16 > 2:18:20you so much for talking to us this morning.
2:18:20 > 2:18:28'The Coronation' is on BBC One this Sunday at 8pm.
2:18:29 > 2:18:31Fascinating. Because it is first-hand and it is what she is
2:18:31 > 2:18:34saying.
2:18:34 > 2:18:39Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:18:39 > 2:18:43Good morning. It should be enough time to tell you weather is
2:18:43 > 2:18:47changing. Some
2:18:47 > 2:18:49time to tell you weather is changing. Some mist and fog. There
2:18:49 > 2:18:58will be sunshine. On Sunday night, expect wet and windy weather.
2:18:59 > 2:19:00expect wet and windy weather. Blue skies returning more likely. It will
2:19:00 > 2:19:09feel colder. And a change in the jet stream, it is rushing out of the US
2:19:09 > 2:19:14and Canada and then we have this big undulating pattern across the
2:19:14 > 2:19:22Atlantic. Never quite reaching us. But come Sunday night, that jet
2:19:22 > 2:19:27stream rushes towards us and that will help to engineer a change. For
2:19:27 > 2:19:32many this morning, misty and damp. Foggy conditions across western
2:19:32 > 2:19:38England and Wales in particular. Frosty in a few spots in the West.
2:19:38 > 2:19:44Once that is gone, some sunshine for West Wales, north-west England and
2:19:44 > 2:19:50the North of Scotland. For most, predominantly cloudy. A chance of
2:19:50 > 2:19:59rain in the East. Temperatures feeling better.
2:19:59 > 2:20:03feeling better. A southerly air flow across the country tonight. Some
2:20:03 > 2:20:09frost in northern Scotland. A weather front trying to bring about
2:20:09 > 2:20:23change. It will be a slow process. It will trundle eastwards, gradually
2:20:23 > 2:20:29pushing across West Wales. The heaviest of the rain is on exposed
2:20:29 > 2:20:36hills. The southern portion of the Brecon Beacons and into the Southern
2:20:36 > 2:20:45Uplands later. The odd spot of drizzle. A cool night for Saturday
2:20:45 > 2:20:55and Sunday. A touch of frost, maybe, patchy rain and drizzle, the best of
2:20:55 > 2:21:00any sunny breaks towards the east. The change comes later. Rather cold
2:21:00 > 2:21:06on Sunday but wet and windy weather. The jet stream will push that band
2:21:06 > 2:21:12of heavy rain, severe gale force, right across the country into
2:21:12 > 2:21:19Monday. The isobars go all the way up into Greenland, originating in
2:21:19 > 2:21:26Canada, so much colder air to come. Next week, after that wet start to
2:21:26 > 2:21:31Monday, a good deal brighter, strong to gale force winds will feed
2:21:31 > 2:21:38frequent showers. Some may contain sleet and snow. If you are fed up
2:21:38 > 2:21:45with these great conditions, like this picture shows, things are about
2:21:45 > 2:21:52to change.Thank you very much.
2:21:52 > 2:21:53to change.Thank you very much. We have been hearing that a large fire
2:21:53 > 2:21:57has broken out at Nottingham railway station. Fire
2:21:57 > 2:21:58has broken out at Nottingham railway station. Fire and rescue say they
2:21:58 > 2:22:03are dealing with a large incident. Eight appliances are in attendance.
2:22:03 > 2:22:06East Midlands Trains a all trains through the station cancelled expect
2:22:06 > 2:22:10disruptions for the rest of the morning. Let's get the latest from
2:22:10 > 2:22:20BBC Radio NottinghamHaley Compton. What are you seeing?Good morning. I
2:22:20 > 2:22:25can see at least nine police and fire engines at the moment on one
2:22:25 > 2:22:29side of the train station. That is on Queen Street. All of the roads
2:22:29 > 2:22:33around the train station have been blocked. There are passengers
2:22:33 > 2:22:37thinking they're going to get their trains and then are completely
2:22:37 > 2:22:46bemused by the fact that the street is just a scene of blue flashing
2:22:46 > 2:22:49lights at the moment. There are lots of fire fighters, picking up
2:22:49 > 2:22:54helmets, speaking to each other, changing shifts, and lots of people
2:22:54 > 2:22:58from East Midlands Trains, they're turning people away and directing
2:22:58 > 2:23:04them to a coach service on the other side of the street. At the moment, I
2:23:04 > 2:23:09have been told there is most sign anyone has been injured and no
2:23:09 > 2:23:15fatalities to report at this moment. I have spoken to people living
2:23:15 > 2:23:21across the road from the train station and apparently at 6:30am,
2:23:21 > 2:23:26there were thick plumes of black smoke coming out of the train
2:23:26 > 2:23:30station because of unconfirmed reports of a fire in one of the
2:23:30 > 2:23:38toilets on the platform.Maybe we can return to the pictures, we were
2:23:38 > 2:23:42showing these earlier, it is hard to get a sense of the scale of the
2:23:42 > 2:23:49blaze but from this camera angle, it clearly a significant fire?Well,
2:23:49 > 2:23:55yes, at the moment, from the side of the train station I am at,
2:23:55 > 2:24:00apparently the plumes were very high in the air, people could see it, it
2:24:00 > 2:24:09is being masked at the moment by... INAUDIBLE
2:24:14 > 2:24:18INAUDIBLENo indication so far because the Fire Service is still in
2:24:18 > 2:24:21control of this incident. I hope to speak to the incident
2:24:21 > 2:24:26commander in charge of what is going on at the moment but clearly there
2:24:26 > 2:24:29will be no one coming in or out of the train station for a long time
2:24:29 > 2:24:36today.We believe that there. If you're planning on travelling in
2:24:36 > 2:24:43Nottingham, please check locally about how it affect you. Apparently,
2:24:43 > 2:24:57banks want to share our details and that is supposed to be good for us?
2:24:57 > 2:25:02Yes, rather than fill in a form, if you share information, they can fill
2:25:02 > 2:25:08out these forms automatically. The way that we bank, borrow and save is
2:25:08 > 2:25:13about to change forever. The Revolution starts tomorrow, we're
2:25:13 > 2:25:17told, you can ask your bank to share your details with other companies.
2:25:17 > 2:25:21It is designed to give you a better deal and make it easier to switch
2:25:21 > 2:25:25accounts and move money without having to fill in long and laborious
2:25:25 > 2:25:30forms. We should be clear, banks will only do that if you agree to it
2:25:30 > 2:25:38and you can stipulate how long you want to share that information.
2:25:46 > 2:25:48Elsewhere, the future of building contractor,
2:25:48 > 2:25:50Carillion hangs in the balance amid fears it's close to collapse.
2:25:50 > 2:25:53Another crisis meeting will be held today after talks this week
2:25:53 > 2:25:55ended without a deal on its massive pension deficit.
2:25:55 > 2:26:00Carillion is the UK's second largest construction company and employs
2:26:00 > 2:26:0143,000 around the world.
2:26:01 > 2:26:03It's involved in all sorts of Government building contracts
2:26:03 > 2:26:04including the HS2 rail line.
2:26:04 > 2:26:07Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg says the social media site will reduce
2:26:07 > 2:26:10clutter from the site - after criticism that there are too
2:26:10 > 2:26:11many adverts and promoted posts from businesses.
2:26:11 > 2:26:14He says he wants to prioritise what he calls 'meaningful social
2:26:14 > 2:26:16interactions' and felt a responsibility to make
2:26:16 > 2:26:17sure Facebook was good for people's wellbeing.
2:26:17 > 2:26:23And a British satellite has been blasted into orbit on an Indian
2:26:23 > 2:26:25rocket to make full-colour, high-definition videos of Earth.
2:26:25 > 2:26:27Rather than still images that are currently the norm,
2:26:27 > 2:26:30the satellite will be able to record moving objects like cars or ships
2:26:30 > 2:26:33and could be used for everything from monitoring traffic to helping
2:26:33 > 2:26:34rescuers after natural disasters.
2:26:34 > 2:26:36We'll speak to the boss of the British company behind
2:26:36 > 2:26:37the satellite just after 8:30am.
2:26:37 > 2:26:40We will be speaking to the Chief Executive later. It is about the
2:26:40 > 2:26:44detail you can see.It is the idea that it is high-definition and a
2:26:44 > 2:26:49video rather than still images. Natural disasters, it will help
2:26:49 > 2:26:53rescuers, traffic monitoring, fascinating.And business
2:26:53 > 2:26:56opportunities as well. Thanks very much. We will
2:26:56 > 2:27:01also be speaking to Nigel Farage shortly.
2:27:01 > 2:30:21Time for the news, travel and weather where you are.
2:30:21 > 2:30:27Bye for now.
2:30:27 > 2:30:33Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
2:30:33 > 2:30:39Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.
2:30:39 > 2:30:42Donald Trump has confirmed that he has abandoned plans to visit Britain
2:30:42 > 2:30:46next month. He was expected to open the new American Embassy in London
2:30:46 > 2:30:50at the end of February. Earlier this morning, the president tweeted that
2:30:50 > 2:30:53he has cancelled the visit because he doesn't agree with the location
2:30:53 > 2:31:00and cost of the building. Let's get to our correspondent outside the
2:31:00 > 2:31:07American Embassy. There was always a row over any visit by Donald Trump.
2:31:07 > 2:31:12He has given his reasons, and it is about the remarkable building behind
2:31:12 > 2:31:19you. Tell us more?It is a remarkable building. And this is the
2:31:19 > 2:31:24oft location, as Donald Trump calls it, in Vauxhall, just south of the
2:31:24 > 2:31:28River Thames. The building itself cost more than $1 billion. This is
2:31:28 > 2:31:34what you get. It is due to open the process visas as early as next week,
2:31:34 > 2:31:39but now Donald Trump is not coming, it seems like his Secretary of
2:31:39 > 2:31:42State, Rex Tillerson, will come. One of the things that was interesting
2:31:42 > 2:31:46in the tweet that Donald Trump put out was that he said he didn't want
2:31:46 > 2:31:51to back a decision of the Obama administration, who he blamed for
2:31:51 > 2:31:55selling the Grosvenor Square site and moving here. But that decision
2:31:55 > 2:32:01was made in 2008 under George W Bush, before President Obama was in
2:32:01 > 2:32:11office.Jon, thank you.
2:32:11 > 2:32:14Some breaking news, and we're hearing that a large fire has broken
2:32:14 > 2:32:15out at Nottingham railway station.
2:32:15 > 2:32:18Nottinghamshire Fire and rescue say they're dealing with a "large
2:32:18 > 2:32:19incident", with ten appliances in attendance.
2:32:19 > 2:32:23The station has been evacuated.
2:32:23 > 2:32:25East Midland Trains say all trains through the station are cancelled
2:32:25 > 2:32:33and they expect disruptions for the rest of the morning.
2:32:35 > 2:32:37An 18-year-old from the Scottish Highlands has died after
2:32:37 > 2:32:38contracting the flu virus.
2:32:38 > 2:32:41Bethany Walker was airlifted to hospital in Inverness
2:32:41 > 2:32:44from her home in Wester Ross, but her illness had developed
2:32:44 > 2:32:48into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her.
2:32:48 > 2:32:50Elsewhere, in England, there has been a sharp rise
2:32:50 > 2:32:52in the number of flu cases seen by GPs.
2:32:52 > 2:32:545,000 people were admitted to hospital with flu
2:32:54 > 2:33:01in the first week of January.
2:33:01 > 2:33:05The next stages will be large numbers of patients coming to
2:33:05 > 2:33:09significant harm and an increase in mortality across all of our
2:33:09 > 2:33:12hospitals because patients are not getting the treatment they require
2:33:12 > 2:33:17in the time that they require.
2:33:19 > 2:33:24It is time to talk to Mike.We are looking back to something that
2:33:24 > 2:33:27happened in November, a sense of injustice for Northern Ireland fans,
2:33:27 > 2:33:34who believed their referee cost them a place in the World Cup.
2:33:34 > 2:33:36"Pathetic" - that's how one former Northern Ireland star,
2:33:36 > 2:33:40Stephen Craigan, has described the admission by the referee
2:33:40 > 2:33:43that he got a controversial penalty decision in November wrong.
2:33:43 > 2:33:47The referee Ovidiu Hategan ruled that Northern Ireland's Corry Evans
2:33:47 > 2:33:49blocked a shot with his arm during the first leg
2:33:49 > 2:33:51of their World Cup play-off against Switzerland -
2:33:51 > 2:33:54despite replays showing the ball struck the player's shoulder.
2:33:54 > 2:33:56Michael O'Neill's side went on to lose the match 1-0,
2:33:56 > 2:33:59ending their hopes of reaching a World Cup for the first
2:33:59 > 2:34:00time in 32 years.
2:34:00 > 2:34:02Now the ref says he made a mistake.
2:34:02 > 2:34:06TRANSLATION:It was a sad and unpleasant moment to me.
2:34:06 > 2:34:10Sad, because I made a mistake.
2:34:10 > 2:34:15Painful, because with my team of officials, we had been working well.
2:34:15 > 2:34:20In our world, the referees are the same as the goalkeepers.
2:34:20 > 2:34:23Everyone sees the mistake.
2:34:23 > 2:34:25With Andy Murray missing through injury, British attention
2:34:25 > 2:34:32at the Australian Open will focus on Johanna Konta.
2:34:32 > 2:34:33Brengel in the first
2:34:33 > 2:34:34round, which starts on Monday.
2:34:34 > 2:34:36The draw was made yesterday with Roger Federer, among
2:34:36 > 2:34:40the guests in Melbourne.
2:34:40 > 2:34:42He'll start the defence of his title against Aljaz Bedene,
2:34:42 > 2:34:44the former British number two, who now represents
2:34:44 > 2:34:45his native Slovenia.
2:34:45 > 2:34:48Maria Sharapova was also at the draw despite receiving a drugs ban two
2:34:48 > 2:34:50years ago while competing in this competition.
2:34:50 > 2:34:53British bobsleigher Bruce Tasker has been ruled out of competing at next
2:34:53 > 2:34:55month's Winter Olympics after suffering a minor
2:34:55 > 2:34:56stroke last week.
2:34:56 > 2:34:58Our thoughts are with him.
2:34:58 > 2:35:04Tasker was due to compete in his second Winter Games in PyeongChang.
2:35:04 > 2:35:06He was taken to hospital on 4th of January after experiencing
2:35:06 > 2:35:09dizziness and nausea, but he is expected to make a full
2:35:09 > 2:35:13recovery and resume his bobsleigh career by next season.
2:35:13 > 2:35:16And how about this for a good way to start off the golfing year
2:35:16 > 2:35:20for Wales' Jamie Donaldson?
2:35:20 > 2:35:23This was his tee shot, at the par three 14th hole at
2:35:23 > 2:35:24the South Africa Open in Edenvale.
2:35:24 > 2:35:27And it went in for a hole in one.
2:35:27 > 2:35:29Donaldson finished his round at two under par,
2:35:29 > 2:35:37five shots off the leader.
2:35:37 > 2:35:40More sport tomorrow, including that in-depth report on mermaids and
2:35:40 > 2:35:46mermen competing in this country!
2:35:52 > 2:35:56We can talk now to the fire commander regarding that fire at
2:35:56 > 2:36:02Nottingham station. I know you are busy at the scene. Tell us what is
2:36:02 > 2:36:07going on?The fire this morning was at Nottingham train station, not
2:36:07 > 2:36:10Nottingham fire station. Crews arrived at 6.30 this morning to a
2:36:10 > 2:36:17significant fire in the new section of Nottingham train station. The
2:36:17 > 2:36:22fire was in the concourse area and crews reported a severe fire in the
2:36:22 > 2:36:26blocks. Unfortunately, the fire spreading to the roof of the new
2:36:26 > 2:36:30section of Nottingham train station and is now travelling across the
2:36:30 > 2:36:36concourse area and across the main lines into Nottingham train station.
2:36:36 > 2:36:39We have in the region of 60 firefighters currently at the scene,
2:36:39 > 2:36:45and we are fighting the fire from inside the building using hose reels
2:36:45 > 2:36:51and jets. But it is a significant incident.As you say, it is at the
2:36:51 > 2:36:55rail station. Thanks for clarifying that. There is a cordon around the
2:36:55 > 2:36:58area and we understand there are no trains running to and from the
2:36:58 > 2:37:04station. Any idea how long the situation will continue?From a
2:37:04 > 2:37:07firefighting point of view, it will be a considerable amount of time. In
2:37:07 > 2:37:12terms of the impact to rail traffic, that will be an issue for Network
2:37:12 > 2:37:17Rail. But our crews are working in arduous conditions to bring the fire
2:37:17 > 2:37:23under control. That is the focus of our attention at this time.Thank
2:37:23 > 2:37:29you for talking to us. That was Bryn Coleman, the incident commander for
2:37:29 > 2:37:44Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service.
2:37:45 > 2:37:47The former Ukip leader Nigel Farage made it his political mission
2:37:47 > 2:37:52for the UK to have a vote to leave the EU.
2:37:52 > 2:37:57Mr Farage joins us now. We will talk about a possible second referendum
2:37:57 > 2:38:01in a moment. But our lead story today is about Donald Trump, who you
2:38:01 > 2:38:03have connections with. He has tweeted this morning that he will
2:38:03 > 2:38:08not be coming to the UK next month, his reasons being about
2:38:08 > 2:38:12decision-making over the embassy. What do you make of what he said?I
2:38:12 > 2:38:16can't comment on the real estate value of the American Embassy. I am
2:38:16 > 2:38:21not a real estate guy. I guess he is, and he sees Obama as being
2:38:21 > 2:38:25profligate with money. But there is another issue here. This guy has
2:38:25 > 2:38:29been all over the world. He has been to France, Italy, Belgium, Poland,
2:38:29 > 2:38:36China. He has been on big visits all over the world, and yet here in this
2:38:36 > 2:38:40country, we have a Labour Party who effectively want to ban him and say
2:38:40 > 2:38:46that if he comes, there will be mass street protests. I just wonder
2:38:46 > 2:38:50whether he thinks, given the huge respect he has for this country,
2:38:50 > 2:38:54whether he thinks that would give a bad image.It's interesting that you
2:38:54 > 2:38:58phrase it in that way. A lot of people who know him possibly better
2:38:58 > 2:39:02than you do say that is the kind of thing he would take no notice of,
2:39:02 > 2:39:06the idea that people might object a bit. He would come anyway. But you
2:39:06 > 2:39:11are suggesting that some of the noises made here from certain
2:39:11 > 2:39:17parties might have had an impact. Even in France, with someone like
2:39:17 > 2:39:22President Macron, who has completely different politics to Trump, he was
2:39:22 > 2:39:26taken there on Bastille Day and was treated with respect, as he has been
2:39:26 > 2:39:31all over the world, Saudi Arabia, China. I just think the idea that
2:39:31 > 2:39:38the left in this country would stir up 100,000 people on the streets of
2:39:38 > 2:39:41London, maybe they are thinking, we will hang back a bit. And I am
2:39:41 > 2:39:46sorry, because whether you like Trump or not, he is the most
2:39:46 > 2:39:51pro-British president we have had for a long time.We understand the
2:39:51 > 2:39:57state visit is still on for an undefined time in the future. You
2:39:57 > 2:40:02don't think that is affected?He will come at some point, but he is
2:40:02 > 2:40:07busy at the moment. They also have big mid-term elections coming up in
2:40:07 > 2:40:10November and he has just decided this is not the right trip for the
2:40:10 > 2:40:16moment. But as I say, given the trade and defence relationship we
2:40:16 > 2:40:21have with America, it's a shame he hasn't been already.Have you spoken
2:40:21 > 2:40:27to him lately?Not for a little bit. But I know his team. He is just busy
2:40:27 > 2:40:33putting into place the manifesto upon which he was elected. The UK
2:40:33 > 2:40:38economy is doing well and he is fine.OK, clarification time. This
2:40:38 > 2:40:41is your first broadcast interview since you were on Channel 5
2:40:41 > 2:40:46yesterday morning. The quote and then, I will just read it out. This
2:40:46 > 2:40:50is about the chance of a second referendum. You said maybe I am
2:40:50 > 2:40:53reaching the point of thinking we should have a second referendum on
2:40:53 > 2:41:01EU membership. What are you saying? I have now accepted that like most
2:41:01 > 2:41:06levers, I have been in denial. I have been saying, we had a
2:41:06 > 2:41:10referendum, that was the end of it. Parliament was my job is simply to
2:41:10 > 2:41:14get on with it. I can now see that we face a very real danger of any
2:41:14 > 2:41:18deal that is done, and don't forget, I went to meet Mr Barnier on Monday,
2:41:18 > 2:41:24I can see any deal that this done before the end of this year being
2:41:24 > 2:41:28rejected by the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and I fear that
2:41:28 > 2:41:33Parliament will attempt to impose a second referendum upon us. So rather
2:41:33 > 2:41:38than being in denial, I may as well accept that possibility and say that
2:41:38 > 2:41:41all Leave voters, this is a big wake-up call. This happened in
2:41:41 > 2:41:45Denmark. It has happened in Ireland. All over Europe, rejection
2:41:45 > 2:41:49referendums have been rerun and we on the Leave side need to be
2:41:49 > 2:41:55prepared.You say you fear it, but the implication is that you fear you
2:41:55 > 2:41:59might lose it.No, I think we would win it and I think the arrogance of
2:41:59 > 2:42:05the EU negotiators has upset the British people. Also, Mr Juncker,
2:42:05 > 2:42:08the European Commission president said that in future, all members of
2:42:08 > 2:42:11the European Union must join the euro and the European army. I think
2:42:11 > 2:42:16if we had a second referendum, the Leave side would win by a bigger
2:42:16 > 2:42:20majority and that would probably end the argument for all time. I would
2:42:20 > 2:42:24much rather we weren't even having this debate, but I do think the
2:42:24 > 2:42:27Leave side needs to get ready because I do not trust our members
2:42:27 > 2:42:31of Parliament to stick to their election manifestos. This could be
2:42:31 > 2:42:38forced upon us and I want to be ready.This is complicated, because
2:42:38 > 2:42:47this scenario is, in the event of a no deal, there would be a vacuum, as
2:42:47 > 2:42:52some have described it. So you would have been to Parliament, they have
2:42:52 > 2:42:56rejected the deal and Theresa May says, let's ask the question again.
2:42:56 > 2:43:00That is the only way this could happen. But equally, there could be
2:43:00 > 2:43:04a vote in the House of Commons post the rejection of a deal and believe
2:43:04 > 2:43:08me, having met Mr Barnier on Monday, he is not going to offer us an
2:43:08 > 2:43:12attractive deal, which is what many of the Remainers in this country
2:43:12 > 2:43:15want. They want the deal to be as bad as possible because they want to
2:43:15 > 2:43:21force a second vote. And Parliament does not have a Brexit majority. We
2:43:21 > 2:43:25have to be alert to the fact that there could be a second referendum
2:43:25 > 2:43:30forced upon us. I pray that it is not, but if it is, I want to be
2:43:30 > 2:43:37ready.Thank you for your time.
2:43:37 > 2:43:45Let's talk to Matt. I understand it is going to get more miserable?Not
2:43:45 > 2:43:49miserable cold, rain, wind? But a bit more sunshine, though
2:43:49 > 2:43:50miserable cold, rain, wind? But a bit more sunshine, though. OK, the
2:43:50 > 2:43:57next few days do stay great, but there are changes on the way.
2:43:57 > 2:44:01Things will turn wet on Sunday night into Monday. But once that clears
2:44:01 > 2:44:06through, sunnier skies will return but there will be showers around and
2:44:06 > 2:44:11it will feel chilly, windy and some of the showers will be wintry. The
2:44:11 > 2:44:14jet stream is what fires weather systems. At the moment, it is coming
2:44:14 > 2:44:20out of US and Canada and doing a meandering pattern across the
2:44:20 > 2:44:24Atlantic, never really pushing anything towards us. It is driving
2:44:24 > 2:44:28things north and south of the UK. That is why we have been sat with
2:44:28 > 2:44:30misty and foggy conditions over the last few days. There will be a
2:44:30 > 2:44:36change by Sunday, driving right our way and introducing the change I
2:44:36 > 2:44:42talked about. But at the moment, it is misty and grey, with fog towards
2:44:42 > 2:44:47the south-west. Where you have frost, you will probably see some
2:44:47 > 2:44:54sunshine. The odd bright brick elsewhere, but foremost, it is a
2:44:54 > 2:44:57cloudy day. The club will be thick enough across the east of England
2:44:57 > 2:45:00for spots of rain and drizzle. Temperatures are where they should
2:45:00 > 2:45:06be for the time of year, but feeling better where you the sunshine.
2:45:06 > 2:45:11Tonight, the breeze will pick up in the West. That. The fog, but with it
2:45:11 > 2:45:17comes some rain into Northern Ireland. Further east, we will see
2:45:17 > 2:45:21the odd spots of rain and drizzle and a few clear spells. The biggest
2:45:21 > 2:45:26gaps in the cloud will be to the north of Scotland. Over the weekend,
2:45:26 > 2:45:33get ready for lots of cloud once again. Maybe a few brighter breaks
2:45:33 > 2:45:36in eastern England compared with recent days. But the wettest weather
2:45:36 > 2:45:40will be on and off in Northern Ireland, turning light and patchy
2:45:40 > 2:45:45through the day. The heaviest rain will be on the hills facing that
2:45:45 > 2:45:51southerly direction. Temperatures may be down on today's values.
2:45:51 > 2:45:57Through Saturday night into Sunday, the referendum there -- the weather
2:45:57 > 2:46:05front stays where it is. But the big change comes later in the day west
2:46:05 > 2:46:10of Scotland and Northern Ireland, turning wetter and windier. The
2:46:10 > 2:46:14weather front will gradually work is way southeastwards. A spell of
2:46:14 > 2:46:19severe gales to go with the heavy rain and then we follow the isobars
2:46:19 > 2:46:23back into colder air to take us into next week. Not just colder, but we
2:46:23 > 2:46:28will see widespread gales at times and with it, we will see some wintry
2:46:28 > 2:46:31showers. So all change next week after the great conditions we have
2:46:31 > 2:46:37at the moment.
2:46:37 > 2:46:44No alarm call tomorrow morning. What time did it go off tomorrow?3am. I
2:46:44 > 2:46:50think I have a 9am start tomorrow. What were you doing at 3:58am?I
2:46:50 > 2:46:54think I was going here. There was an important lodge this
2:46:54 > 2:46:57morning.
2:46:57 > 2:46:59Just before four o'clock this morning, the Indian space
2:46:59 > 2:47:00agency launched a British satelite into space.
2:47:00 > 2:47:03From 300 miles above the Earth, it can zoom its cameras
2:47:03 > 2:47:09on to an area the size of a bin lid and send back HD video.
2:47:10 > 2:47:14We can talk to the head of the company behind the launch, Earth-i.
2:47:14 > 2:47:19You hope to send another five satellites into space this year,
2:47:19 > 2:47:23Richard Bain, chief executive of Earth-i?
2:47:23 > 2:47:30We have recently signed a contract with the UK manufacturer, a global
2:47:30 > 2:47:33leader in the manufacture of small satellites. We did that back in
2:47:33 > 2:47:37November to provide our next five satellites, which we anticipate
2:47:37 > 2:47:43launching towards the end of 2019. You have brought in a model. This is
2:47:43 > 2:47:49what has gone up into space today, but how much bigger than this is the
2:47:49 > 2:47:54real thing?It weighs about 100 kilos, it is about the size of a
2:47:54 > 2:47:57washing machine. In terms of satellites it is relatively small,
2:47:57 > 2:48:01but what is happening in the satellite industry is that the
2:48:01 > 2:48:05technology and the costs are shrinking down, we have far more
2:48:05 > 2:48:09capability packed into a much smaller package. We get that into
2:48:09 > 2:48:16space more cheaply.What is it capable of?The interesting thing
2:48:16 > 2:48:18about this satellites, British technology with a global first, the
2:48:18 > 2:48:24first commercially available colour video in high definition from space
2:48:24 > 2:48:28with a fleet of satellites. This is the Pathfinder, this was launched
2:48:28 > 2:48:33from India at 3:58am, as you said, it separated from the rocket at
2:48:33 > 2:48:414:17am. We had our hearts and our mouths as we waited to see that was
2:48:41 > 2:48:45successful, then later we establish successful contact with the
2:48:45 > 2:48:49satellite. This is the launch. You established
2:48:49 > 2:48:57contact when?At about 6:52am, I think it was.And what does that
2:48:57 > 2:49:03mean? What did you get from it? Confirmation that not only has the
2:49:03 > 2:49:07satellite been successfully deployed from the rocket, but that it is
2:49:07 > 2:49:12turned on and communicating with the grounds. So we are getting what we
2:49:12 > 2:49:16called telemetry data, which tells us about the health of the satellite
2:49:16 > 2:49:24and tells us about the operator, it helps is to stabilise the satellite.
2:49:24 > 2:49:28When it comes off the rocket it is tumbling a little, so one of the
2:49:28 > 2:49:31first jobs is to get appointing in the right direction.
2:49:31 > 2:49:39It is miles above the Earth, I have got my barbecue in the back garden,
2:49:39 > 2:49:43can you film matter? -- it is 300 miles above the Earth.
2:49:43 > 2:49:49How close can you go on earth?We can take a video clip of up to two
2:49:49 > 2:49:53minutes long, of an area of the Earth 25 square kilometres, about
2:49:53 > 2:49:58five kilometres by five kilometres. As we are doing that, if we were to
2:49:58 > 2:50:03zoom in on those pictures we could see things in there which are about
2:50:03 > 2:50:07a metre, we could discern objects about a metre size.How detailed are
2:50:07 > 2:50:13they? If I took a picture of you now, I could see the Czechs in your
2:50:13 > 2:50:18shirt, what would you see in terms of if it was you?It is very
2:50:18 > 2:50:24difficult to see individuals with the satellite...We are not at Big
2:50:24 > 2:50:31Brother stagette? You could see vehicles?We could tell the
2:50:31 > 2:50:35difference between a car, barn, truck and bus, we can measure sizes
2:50:35 > 2:50:40to within 70 or 80 centimetres of an object.This is a commercial
2:50:40 > 2:50:44venture, so how will businesses use the data and information these
2:50:44 > 2:50:50uprights are getting?The interesting thing from data and
2:50:50 > 2:50:55spaces, there are many uses not only in business and commerce but in
2:50:55 > 2:50:59security, agriculture, disaster relief. There are many applications.
2:50:59 > 2:51:02This sort of data is of interest to all sorts of people all over the
2:51:02 > 2:51:07world. Some commercial examples may be something like monitoring the
2:51:07 > 2:51:12development of a large infrastructure projects in a
2:51:12 > 2:51:17location on Earth which is very difficult to reach by road or
2:51:17 > 2:51:21transports.What evidence do you make to make sure you are not... The
2:51:21 > 2:51:25Word spying, doing something you shouldn't be, possibly unwittingly?
2:51:25 > 2:51:31If somebody says I would like you to film this thing, do you just do it?
2:51:31 > 2:51:34What checks do you have that you are not looking at something you
2:51:34 > 2:51:37shouldn't be looking at? There are guidelines and regulations
2:51:37 > 2:51:43in terms of the way you can take satellite imagery, who you can sell
2:51:43 > 2:51:47it to. We ensure we abides carefully by all of those processors and
2:51:47 > 2:51:52checks and balances. Who's guidelines are those?
2:51:52 > 2:51:55Generally by the individual space agency, which grants the space
2:51:55 > 2:52:00license. In this case it is granted by the UK space agency, which is
2:52:00 > 2:52:06very active in the UK. Space in the UK is a huge industry, you may not
2:52:06 > 2:52:11know this. By 2030 it is the objective of the UK space agency
2:52:11 > 2:52:13under the government innovation growth strategy to capture around
2:52:13 > 2:52:1910% of the global space markets, representing around £40 billion a
2:52:19 > 2:52:24year for the UK economy.But within the rules?
2:52:24 > 2:52:27Absolutely.Richard Bain, Chief Executive of Earth-i, thank you. And
2:52:27 > 2:52:32congratulations.
2:52:32 > 2:52:35It's time to talk about a motor racing team with a difference.
2:52:35 > 2:52:37Four former British soldiers, all injured in combat,
2:52:37 > 2:52:39will compete in the GT Championship in specially designed cars
2:52:39 > 2:52:47which allow them to compete against able-bodied drivers.
2:52:51 > 2:52:55He's with a former soldier who served with some of the team.
2:52:55 > 2:53:00And a rather impressive vehicle.I am at auto sport International, on
2:53:00 > 2:53:05all weekend at the Birmingham NEC. The Invictus racing team has been
2:53:05 > 2:53:10launched. The Invictus Games was a sporting competition for wounded,
2:53:10 > 2:53:14injured and sick service personnel, now it is entering the world of Mort
2:53:14 > 2:53:18-- of motorsport. One of the competitors then was myself, and I
2:53:18 > 2:53:24competed against Paul. We took on cycling, how have you moved from
2:53:24 > 2:53:26cycling to motorsport? About cycling is an active sport, as
2:53:26 > 2:53:33you get a bit older and rounding you want to slowdown in life and then I
2:53:33 > 2:53:36thought, let's go faster. Got into motorsport and then Invictus Games
2:53:36 > 2:53:41racing, and the vehicle can be adapted to anything I want, for my
2:53:41 > 2:53:43physical disabilities. We were toying with the ideas of maybe a
2:53:43 > 2:53:48hand controlled clutch to save weight, if I need to ditch my legs
2:53:48 > 2:53:52are the extra four kilos, the prostatic scanner that is how
2:53:52 > 2:53:58seriously we are taking it. And with James at the helm, running the
2:53:58 > 2:54:02development stage, we will get in front.Basil, this is so much more
2:54:02 > 2:54:06than just the drivers, it comes under the Invictus umbrella, it is
2:54:06 > 2:54:11about spreading the love to as many people as possible?I need to
2:54:11 > 2:54:15mention Ben Northwick, who is not here today. And fortunately he had
2:54:15 > 2:54:21to go to work, he has a real job. It is about spreading it to as many
2:54:21 > 2:54:25people as possible. The Invictus Games is an excellent foundation and
2:54:25 > 2:54:31gives people the opportunity to get out and do something and be active
2:54:31 > 2:54:35and compete and be part of a team again and be part of a greater
2:54:35 > 2:54:39military family.We cannot wait to see you in action. If the card does
2:54:39 > 2:54:45not give you an idea of how serious they are taking it, you can see this
2:54:45 > 2:54:50massive race truck. It is a Winnebago, outrageously big, it is
2:54:50 > 2:54:53the sort of thing Lewis Hamilton has. Sparing no expense, trying to
2:54:53 > 2:54:57give them the real experience of being part of a race team. The
2:54:57 > 2:55:03brainchild, the man his brainchild was, is James Holden. Why is this
2:55:03 > 2:55:08underneath the Invictus umbrella?We needed a partner organisation, I
2:55:08 > 2:55:12wanted to do something cool for charity for quite awhile. Invictus
2:55:12 > 2:55:15was perfect, everything it stands for resonate with me. We thought we
2:55:15 > 2:55:20would the excitement of motorsport, bringing these war he runs into
2:55:20 > 2:55:25action, give them an amazing challenge for the year, open the
2:55:25 > 2:55:30project to not only the drivers but engineers, pit crews, etc, and in
2:55:30 > 2:55:33the summer open it to the entire Invictus community with VIP events
2:55:33 > 2:55:37where we throw these guys around and race cars.
2:55:37 > 2:55:41It is a very wide initiative and Invictus are the perfect ice to
2:55:41 > 2:55:44partner with. Steve is one of the drivers who will
2:55:44 > 2:55:47be starting the season, and I served in Afghanistan with this man,
2:55:47 > 2:55:52believe it or not. You have been motor racing for a while, how does
2:55:52 > 2:55:57this car and competition compared to what you have done?
2:55:57 > 2:56:01About a massive step up, I will not deny. The four years I have had has
2:56:01 > 2:56:04put me in great stead,I have learned a lot about race and ship.
2:56:04 > 2:56:11It be a lot more exciting. I can't wait to get into car.We cannot wait
2:56:11 > 2:56:16to follow the action and see how you get on, you are not here to make up
2:56:16 > 2:56:21the numbers?No, we are taking it seriously, doing simulated training.
2:56:21 > 2:56:27Please come along, follow us, watch at the track, followers Patrick
2:56:27 > 2:56:32Racing
2:56:33 > 2:56:40Racing Invictus -- follow us as Racing Invictus.They are not making
2:56:40 > 2:56:43up the numbers, they are military fellas, competition is what they do.
2:56:43 > 2:56:48Make sure you follow them, you really want to see this.
2:56:48 > 2:56:52STUDIO: Thank you, JJ. The machinery is so impressive. We will keep an
2:56:52 > 2:56:57eye on them. To a rather more sedate form of
2:56:57 > 2:57:02transport. Modern Railways.
2:57:03 > 2:57:07-- model railways. There is something magical about them. I have
2:57:07 > 2:57:14control of the railway.This is always a mistake!We have a scenario
2:57:14 > 2:57:22unfolding, there is a hazard on the line.Help me, help me!Disaster
2:57:22 > 2:57:29averted, it is OK.Oh!Nice to see you are taking it seriously.
2:57:29 > 2:57:32Charlie, that was so bad of you.
2:57:32 > 2:57:35Last summer, a team of 50 volunteer model rail enthusiasts attempted
2:57:35 > 2:57:37to conquer a challenge that had defeated the greatest engineers
2:57:37 > 2:57:40of the Victorian era - building a railway 71 miles
2:57:40 > 2:57:41across the Scottish highlands.
2:57:41 > 2:57:44We'll talk to two of the people behind the project in a moment
2:57:44 > 2:57:47but first, here's a look at their work in action.
2:57:47 > 2:57:48Oh, whoa, steady.
2:57:48 > 2:57:49We're going!
2:57:49 > 2:57:50We're five days into this epic project.
2:57:50 > 2:57:53That is our track, boys and girls.
2:57:53 > 2:57:55And we're already discovering...
2:57:55 > 2:57:56I don't run!
2:57:56 > 2:57:57I'm too old for this.
2:57:57 > 2:58:00..Why the mighty Victorians gave up...
2:58:00 > 2:58:03On a trans-Caledonian railway.
2:58:03 > 2:58:11This is actually a whole pile of engineering work.
2:58:12 > 2:58:14But keeping The Biggest Little Railway running on schedule...
2:58:14 > 2:58:16Our train's not going up the hill.
2:58:16 > 2:58:17Is about to get...
2:58:17 > 2:58:18Much harder.
2:58:18 > 2:58:19I can't.
2:58:19 > 2:58:21My left arm is going.
2:58:21 > 2:58:23The rail is definitely getting lower.
2:58:23 > 2:58:25How are you feeling?
2:58:25 > 2:58:26I think "wet" is quite understated.
2:58:26 > 2:58:29Work faster, work harder, sleep less.
2:58:29 > 2:58:30This is a bit tricky.
2:58:30 > 2:58:32None of them tell me that they're nervous,
2:58:32 > 2:58:34but it's quite obvious that they are.
2:58:34 > 2:58:42The train is not travelling fast enough.
2:58:44 > 2:58:46Claire Barratt was tasked with working out the engineering
2:58:46 > 2:58:48to make the giant little railway run and Lawrence Robbins
2:58:48 > 2:58:55was one of the volunteers working on the project.
2:58:55 > 2:59:02What an extraordinary idea. The scalar bit is so fascinating. Silver
2:59:02 > 2:59:05Lady, the locomotive which attempts to do that journey, we will be
2:59:05 > 2:59:11careful about what we say, is with us. What a fantastic task.
2:59:11 > 2:59:16Completely and utterly bonkers.71 miles across all sorts of two rain.
2:59:16 > 2:59:20We were not allowed to touch the Touraine at all. The Nazis used open
2:59:20 > 2:59:24of the two reigns of the railway could go through, we were not
2:59:24 > 2:59:32allowed to touch it. -- and navvies used to open up the Touraine of the
2:59:32 > 2:59:38railway. 56 volunteers were involved.How long did it take?12
2:59:38 > 2:59:42days.We will not spoil it and say how you did. What were the biggest
2:59:42 > 2:59:50challenges apart from not being able to touch the terrain?I came from
2:59:50 > 2:59:54the engineering side. The Silver Lady is huge and model engineering
2:59:54 > 2:59:59terms, but when you get into the landscape, it is tiny. We built a
2:59:59 > 3:00:03viaduct that in real life was 60 metres long, if you scale but it
3:00:03 > 3:00:09becomes a mile. If you put a full size engine on it would be a mile,
3:00:09 > 3:00:13it is an epic task to ask a toy to travel across the landscape like
3:00:13 > 3:00:21that.A train of this size, model train, can't deal with slopes?
3:00:21 > 3:00:29A train this site can't deal with celebs.It shouldn't.
3:00:32 > 3:00:41-- it can't deal with celebs. -- my team had to get the track down and
3:00:41 > 3:00:49get that loco up for, and we had to find ways and means of doing it.
3:00:49 > 3:00:54What power is that locomotive?That is a real steam locomotive. It takes
3:00:54 > 3:00:58Calor gas, water, boils it up, makes real steam.This morning, I was
3:00:58 > 3:01:01joking with you that there was a little person in their shovelling
3:01:01 > 3:01:07cult Eksteen. I didn't know there was real steam!It was important to
3:01:07 > 3:01:11have it as a steam engine, because you get the warmth and that
3:01:11 > 3:01:16heartbeat as it is moving along. And when people see it, it just makes
3:01:16 > 3:01:22people smile.And it makes the noise.You can hear the chuffing
3:01:22 > 3:01:26noise and the piston is going. It sounds right, it smells right and
3:01:26 > 3:01:32it's made in Britain.Silver Lady is the name of the engine itself. Why
3:01:32 > 3:01:38choose this reticular route?
3:01:38 > 3:01:42choose this reticular route?The UK had a fantastic network of railways.
3:01:42 > 3:01:48It reached within 12 miles of pretty much where anyone lived. But this
3:01:48 > 3:01:52particular stretch never got built. They tried to build it, but the
3:01:52 > 3:01:56politics between rival railway companies stopped it. So finally,
3:01:56 > 3:02:00Dick Strawbridge had his dream and decided we were going to complete
3:02:00 > 3:02:06that little gap.Great name. Also in this programme, it brings about the
3:02:06 > 3:02:11enthusiasm for this, but also engineering. This is something we
3:02:11 > 3:02:15talk about a lot on the sofa, children perhaps not being inspired
3:02:15 > 3:02:19by engineering at the moment or seeing it as a career, particularly
3:02:19 > 3:02:25women or girls.I don't get that at all. Engineering has been talking
3:02:25 > 3:02:29about women in engineering for at least 20 years. We are so ahead of
3:02:29 > 3:02:32the game when other industries are just waking up to it. And
3:02:32 > 3:02:36engineering is such a broad field. If you like skyscrapers, there is a
3:02:36 > 3:02:41job for you. If you like tiny models, the micro processing world
3:02:41 > 3:02:47needs you. There is a place for you. You have just got to find it.So if
3:02:47 > 3:02:53you are not a railway enthusiast, and I hold my hand up, I am not...I
3:02:53 > 3:02:57came for the challenge, but I fell in love with the train.What would a
3:02:57 > 3:03:03non-rail enthusiast get on this? Firstly, the landscape in Scotland
3:03:03 > 3:03:07is beautiful and the Loch Ness area is stunning. Secondly, seeing people
3:03:07 > 3:03:16come together from all walks of life, men, women, the range was from
3:03:16 > 3:03:1919 80. We didn't know each other until we got together for the health
3:03:19 > 3:03:24and safety briefing on the first morning. By the end, we had the
3:03:24 > 3:03:27teams bonded and working together. At the end of the day, we were not
3:03:27 > 3:03:31challenging each other. The only challenge was to get the train
3:03:31 > 3:03:36through and to get to Inverness. Following the earlier the Roman on
3:03:36 > 3:03:40the table here, it has ground to a halt! There are no trains running
3:03:40 > 3:03:45currently. Is it because the second carriage has gone off the rails? I
3:03:45 > 3:03:49think your loco is often very slightly. This is a problem with
3:03:49 > 3:03:56electricity. There we go.
3:03:56 > 3:04:04electricity. There we go.Are you happy now?Yes!
3:04:04 > 3:04:10happy now?Yes! I stopped it just in time. As soon as you start playing
3:04:10 > 3:04:17with these things... How heavy is Silver Lady?It is quite heavy and
3:04:17 > 3:04:23be careful, because she is a working model.
3:04:23 > 3:04:29model.It is quite heavy. It is a proper piece of machinery.It is
3:04:29 > 3:04:33embarrassing how battered she is, but she did it. You will see in
3:04:33 > 3:04:37episode two, she really did experience all the conditions.Well,
3:04:37 > 3:04:40we love your enthusiasm for the project and thank you for bringing
3:04:40 > 3:04:43everything in for us.
3:04:43 > 3:04:45Episode two of The Biggest Little Railway in the World
3:04:45 > 3:04:52is on Channel 4 at 8pm this Sunday.
3:04:52 > 3:04:55In a moment, we'll be speaking to two vicars who are the subject
3:04:55 > 3:04:56in a new documentary series.
3:04:56 > 3:04:58But first, a last, brief look at the headlines
3:04:58 > 3:06:32where you are this morning.
3:06:32 > 3:06:40Bye for now.
3:06:43 > 3:06:47Welcome back. We are just keeping you up-to-date with news of the fire
3:06:47 > 3:06:51that has broken out at Nottingham railway station. Reports from the
3:06:51 > 3:06:56Nottinghamshire fire rescue say they are dealing with what they describe
3:06:56 > 3:06:59as a large incident, ten engines and 60 firefighters tackling displays.
3:06:59 > 3:07:09These were the early stages at 6.30. You can see the scale of the fire.
3:07:09 > 3:07:13East Midlands Trains say all services through the station are
3:07:13 > 3:07:16cancelled. Disruptions are expected throughout the day. Fire officers
3:07:16 > 3:07:20have described this as a fully developed fire and it has spread to
3:07:20 > 3:07:25the roof of the building. We understand there is a danger that it
3:07:25 > 3:07:30has spread across the tracks. The area has been cordoned off. If you
3:07:30 > 3:07:34are playing is travelled to, from or through Nottingham via rail, you
3:07:34 > 3:07:41need to be on the East Midlands rail website. It is not expected that any
3:07:41 > 3:07:44trains will be coupling to or from that station today. More news on the
3:07:44 > 3:07:46News Channel.
3:07:46 > 3:07:49From presiding over everything from hatches, matches and despatches
3:07:49 > 3:07:52vicars have for a long time been an integral part of life
3:07:52 > 3:07:57in countryside parishes.
3:07:57 > 3:08:00With congregations in decline, the men and women of the cloth have
3:08:00 > 3:08:02had to adapt their Christian message for the modern age.
3:08:02 > 3:08:05Now a new documentary series focuses on the challenges they face.
3:08:05 > 3:08:09Let's take a look.
3:08:09 > 3:08:14There is a competition within family and friends over who can find me the
3:08:14 > 3:08:23most religious tat. I have the cheese grater, and this is classic,
3:08:23 > 3:08:29this is an inflatable Jesus. A solar panelled Pope Benedict and a solar
3:08:29 > 3:08:33panel Jesus. I hope it doesn't cause any offence to anyone, but they
3:08:33 > 3:08:41jiggle and dance.Member kids laugh at you.Matthew's wife Julie and
3:08:41 > 3:08:47their two teenage sons are used to his eccentricities.He's become more
3:08:47 > 3:08:54normal. Being with a Scouser for 20 years, it kind of rubs off. He is
3:08:54 > 3:08:56approachable, compassionate and passionate about his job.
3:08:56 > 3:08:58Reverend Matthew Stafford joins us with Reverend Ruth Hulse,
3:08:58 > 3:09:04who also features in the series.
3:09:04 > 3:09:07Are you in the business of dispelling some myths here about
3:09:07 > 3:09:15what you do?I hope so. I hope we are here to just portray vicars as
3:09:15 > 3:09:21ordinary people. We have families, lives and incredibly challenging and
3:09:21 > 3:09:25privilege roles in the community. But we are ordinary people. We are
3:09:25 > 3:09:30not stuck inside the churches. We want to be part of people's lives.
3:09:30 > 3:09:34Do you think your role is as welcome in society today as it once was?
3:09:34 > 3:09:39Before, it was considered that the Vicar of a parish was almost the
3:09:39 > 3:09:43centrepoint, the person who drew the community together. Now we have lots
3:09:43 > 3:09:46of different religions, and we have societies that don't interact as
3:09:46 > 3:09:52closely with the church. It
3:09:57 > 3:09:59closely with the church. It is not second nature to congregate at the
3:09:59 > 3:10:01church every week.I think the place of the priest is definitely
3:10:01 > 3:10:04changing, but one of the great privileges of our role is the fact
3:10:04 > 3:10:06that we are there for people who, regardless of whether they are
3:10:06 > 3:10:10people of faith or people of none, the church is there for them. And I
3:10:10 > 3:10:16feel that I am trying to ensure that I am there for people in all times
3:10:16 > 3:10:28and all places.It's a brave thing to invite the cameras to follow you.
3:10:28 > 3:10:35I am not sure what the access was here, but it is a brave thing to do.
3:10:35 > 3:10:39It's very brave.Were there times when you felt least comfortable
3:10:39 > 3:10:43about your work being followed?I think it was the times when you have
3:10:43 > 3:10:47to go into those deeply personal places with people and you think,
3:10:47 > 3:10:53how is this for them? We had agreed to this, but it was for those people
3:10:53 > 3:10:57that we were journeying alongside and you think, how is this impacting
3:10:57 > 3:11:04them?Presumably, they were told as well. You're going to say no, but
3:11:04 > 3:11:11did it change the way you worked, knowing you were being observed?I
3:11:11 > 3:11:17think it must have changed the way... I think we can all say that
3:11:17 > 3:11:20what we did, we did with integrity and we would not have done those
3:11:20 > 3:11:25things just for the cameras. We did what we would do usually. But of
3:11:25 > 3:11:27course, you are always aware of the cameras. Especially at the
3:11:27 > 3:11:34beginning.In the series am one thing that comes across is how you
3:11:34 > 3:11:38are trying to be at the centre of communities and you are being relied
3:11:38 > 3:11:41upon by people going through difficult times. We have a clip here
3:11:41 > 3:11:50of you visiting Barbara in her final days.
3:11:53 > 3:12:01I have planned the funeral music,
3:12:01 > 3:12:07the hymns. Hopefully, they are not dreary ones.Barbara has been at the
3:12:07 > 3:12:16hospice for six months, and Ruth spends time with her every week.
3:12:16 > 3:12:21spends time with her every week.Hi, Barbara.Hi, Ruth.Today, she is
3:12:21 > 3:12:37joined by Cheney Clark -- trainee Clark.He is your bag carrier!
3:12:37 > 3:12:39Clark.He is your bag carrier!That was joyous, you could see that Ruth
3:12:39 > 3:12:42was enjoying her final days, but how do you deal with something like
3:12:42 > 3:12:45that? You are providing support for those families and hopefully
3:12:45 > 3:12:52bringing some piece. But how do you personally deal with it?It is hard
3:12:52 > 3:12:59and it is something we have to be careful of. Barbara was a part of
3:12:59 > 3:13:03the church and she was very precious to us. And to see a decline like
3:13:03 > 3:13:07that was hard. So like them, we talk to other people and get support. We
3:13:07 > 3:13:14also hold on to the hope that her faith gave her in those last days
3:13:14 > 3:13:20and we try to hold onto that ourselves.Thank you both very much.
3:13:20 > 3:13:26A Vicar's Life starts tonight on BBC two at 8.30pm.
3:13:26 > 3:13:34We will be back with you tomorrow from six. Have a lovely day.
